servicer (the "MASTER SERVICER"), ORIX REAL ESTATE CAPITAL MARKETS, LLC, as
special servicer (the "SPECIAL SERVICER"), LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
trustee (the "TRUSTEE") of the trust created hereby (the "TRUST") and ABN AMRO
BANK N.V., as fiscal agent (only in its capacity as a party required to make
Advances pursuant to Article IV hereof) (the "FISCAL AGENT").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire certain Mortgage Loans from
Heller Financial Capital Funding, Inc., as seller ("HFCF" and, in such capacity,
the "SELLER"), certain Mortgage Loans from Prudential Mortgage Capital Funding,
LLC ("PMCF" and, in such capacity, also a "SELLER"), and the remaining Mortgage

"SELLER"), and, as of such date, the Depositor will be the owner of the Mortgage
Loans and the other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion
in the Trust. On the Closing Date, the Depositor hereby creates the Trust and
appoints the Trustee to serve as trustee of the Trust. On the Closing Date, the
Depositor will acquire (i) the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-I

Loans (excluding the right to Excess Interest in respect of the Anticipated
Repayment Date Loans) and the other property constituting the Trust described in

REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will make the election described in Section
12.1 hereof for the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans
(excluding the right to Excess Interest in respect of the Anticipated Repayment
Date Loans) and certain related assets to be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC" and, such
particular segregated pool of assets, "REMIC I"). The REMIC I Regular Interests
will be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC I and the Class R-I
Certificates will be designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I.
A separate uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest will be issued with
respect to each Mortgage Loan. Each REMIC I Regular Interest will represent the
right to receive principal corresponding to the initial Stated Principal Balance
of a related Mortgage Loan and interest thereon at a remittance rate (the "REMIC
I REMITTANCE RATE") equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of the related Mortgage Loan
in effect. For purposes of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1 (a)(4)(iii), the
"latest possible maturity date" for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the
Rated Final Distribution Date. The Class R-I Certificates will represent the
sole class of residual interests in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
and will have no principal balances and no remittance rate, but will be entitled
to receive on each Distribution Date any portion of the Available Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date not otherwise deemed distributed on the REMIC
I Regular Interests.
REMIC II
As provided herein, the Trustee will make the election described in Section
12.1 hereof for the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular
Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a separate REMIC
(such particular pool of assets, "REMIC II"). The REMIC II Regular Interests
will be designated as representing the "regular interests" in REMIC II and the
Class R-II Certificates will be designated as representing the sole class of
"residual interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
Fourteen separate uncertificated REMIC II Regular Interests will be issued
and are designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II. The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, initial remittance rate (the "REMIC II
REMITTANCE RATE") and initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each REMIC II
Regular Interest. For purposes of Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" of each REMIC II
Regular Interest shall be the Rated Final Distribution Date. The Class R-II
Certificates will have no principal balances and no remittance rate, but will be
entitled to receive on each Distribution Date any portion of the REMIC II
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date not otherwise deemed distributed
on the REMIC II Regular Interests.

REMIC III
As provided herein, the Trustee will make the election described in Section
12.1 for the segregated pool of assets hereof consisting of the REMIC II Regular
Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a separate REMIC
(such particular pool of assets, "REMIC III"). The REMIC III Regular
Certificates (and, in the case of the Class N Certificates, the Class N REMIC
Interest represented by the Class N Certificates) will be designated as
representing the "regular interests" in REMIC III and the Class R-III
Certificates will be designated as representing the sole class of "residual
interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
Fifteen separate Classes of REMIC III Regular Certificates will be issued,
which will represent in the aggregate twenty-nine separate "regular interests"
in REMIC III. The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the
pass-through rate (the "PASS-THROUGH RATE") and the initial aggregate principal
balance (the "CLASS PRINCIPAL BALANCE") for each Class of REMIC III Regular
Certificates. For purposes of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii),
the "latest possible maturity date" of each Class of REMIC III Regular
Certificates shall be the Rated Final Distribution Date. The Class R-III
Certificates will have no principal balances and no pass-through rate, but will
be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date any portion of the REMIC III
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date not otherwise deemed distributed
on the REMIC III Regular Certificates.

(a) All amounts collected in respect of any group of related
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans (other than REO Mortgage Loans) in the form
of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, shall be applied by the Master Servicer among such
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the express provisions of the related loan
documents and, in the absence of such express provisions, on a pro rata basis in
accordance with the respective amounts then "due and owing" as to each such
Mortgage Loan. All amounts collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan (whether or
not such Mortgage Loan is a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan) other than an
REO Mortgage Loan, in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Condemnation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Repurchase Proceeds or
payments of Substitution Shortfall Amounts shall be applied to amounts due and
owing under the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage (including, without
limitation, for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with
the express provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and, in the
absence of, or to the extent not covered by, such express provisions, shall be
applied for purposes of this Agreement: first, as a recovery of any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and, if applicable, unpaid Liquidation

<PAGE>
Expenses; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest at the related
Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan to but not including, as appropriate, the
date of receipt or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from any Mortgagor,
the related Due Date, third, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan

constitutes Excess Interest shall be applied to the grantor trust only after the
payment of all principal and interest then due and owing on such Mortgage Loan.

ARTICLE II.
DECLARATION OF TRUST;
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.1 CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, does hereby assign to the
Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest
therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in, to and under (i) the Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) Sections 2, 3, 6, 7 and 9
of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and (iii) all other assets included or
to be included in REMIC I (as described in Section 12.1(a) hereof and the
definition of REMIC I) or in the grantor trust (as described in Section 12.1(b)
hereof). Such assignment includes all interest and principal received or
receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of
principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Cut-off Date). The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and
property accomplished hereby is absolute and, notwithstanding Section 13.12, is
intended by the parties to constitute a sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties hereto acknowledge that each Seller and the Master Servicer are entering
into an agreement on the Closing Date under which the Master Servicer is
purchasing the right to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement for the consideration set forth therein.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants
that it has directed, each Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to
and deposited with, the Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby (with a copy to
the Master Servicer), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each
Mortgage Loan so assigned. If a Seller cannot so deliver, or cause to be
delivered, as to any of its Mortgage Loans, the original or a copy of any of the
documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (viii), (xi)(A),
(xi)(B) and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", with (if appropriate)
evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, solely because of
a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or
instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, the delivery
requirements of this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to
such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included
in the related Mortgage File, provided that such Seller has delivered to the
Trustee on or before the Closing Date a copy of such document or instrument
(without evidence of recording or filing thereon, but certified (which
certificate may relate to multiple documents
52
<PAGE>
and/or instruments) by such Seller to be a true and complete copy of the
original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be), and the
Seller shall deliver to or at the direction of the Trustee, promptly following
the receipt thereof, the original of such missing document or instrument (or a
copy thereof) with (if appropriate) evidence of recording or filing, as the case
may be, thereon. If a Seller cannot so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to
any of its Mortgage Loans, the original or a copy of the related lender's title
insurance policy referred to in clause (ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File"
solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of
this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and
such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage
File, provided that such Seller has delivered to the Trustee on or before the
Closing Date a "pro forma" title insurance policy or a commitment for title
insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan, and such Seller
shall deliver to or at the direction of the Trustee, promptly following the
receipt thereof, the original related lender's title insurance policy (or a copy
thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if there exists with respect to any group of related
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document referred
to in the definition of "Mortgage File" covering all the Mortgage Loans in such
group, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File
for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall be deemed an inclusion of such
original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan. None of the Trustee,
any Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for
any failure by any Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery
requirements of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this Section 2.1(b).
If any Mortgage File contains an original letter of credit, the Trustee or
Custodian shall hold such letter of credit in a custodial capacity only, and
shall have no obligation to maintain, extend the term of, enforce or otherwise
pursue any rights under such letter of credit. The Depositor shall use its best
efforts, in accordance with the terms of such letter of credit, to cause the
Trustee to become the beneficiary of any letter of credit that secures a
Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver the originals or
copies of any of the documents or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv),
(viii), (ix), (xi)(A), (xi)(B) and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File"
shall constitute a Material Defect in respect of the related Mortgage Loan under
Section 2.3 hereof if not delivered within 180 days following the Closing Date
(or within such longer period after the Closing Date as the Trustee may consent
to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Seller has
provided the Trustee with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may
be, or has certified to the Trustee in writing as to the occurrence of such
recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as certified to the Trustee no
less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting to obtain from the
appropriate county recorder's or filing office such original or copy).
If any of the endorsements referred to in clause (i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File", or any of the assignments referred to in clauses (iii), (v),
(vii), (x)(B) and (xi)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage File", are delivered to
the Trustee in blank, the Trustee shall be responsible for completing the
related endorsement or assignment in the name of the Trustee (in such capacity).
53
<PAGE>
(c) The Trustee shall, as to each Mortgage Loan, at the expense of the
related Seller, promptly (and in any event within 75 days after the later of (i)
the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as
contemplated in Section 2.3, after the related date of substitution) and (ii)
the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject
document is received by the Trustee), cause to be submitted for recording or
filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property
records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each assignment to the
Trustee referred to in clauses (iii), (v), (vii)(to the extent the related
security agreement was recorded), (x)(B)(to the extent the related guaranty was
recorded) and (xi)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage File", to the extent
delivered to the Trustee. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be
returned by the public recording office to the Trustee or its designee following
recording or filing (and the Trustee shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master
Servicer); provided that in those instances where the public recording office
retains the original assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases,
or assignment of security agreement the Trustee shall obtain therefrom at the
expense of the related Seller a certified copy of the recorded original. If any
such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the
case may be, because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall promptly prepare and
file or record or cause to be prepared and filed or recorded, a substitute
therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, at the expense of the related
Seller.
(d) All documents and records in the possession of the Depositor or the
Sellers that relate to the Mortgage Loans and that are not required to be a part
of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof, together with all
Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds in the possession of the Depositor or the
Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer on or before the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer
on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer
on or before the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the Closing
Date.
(f) The Depositor shall, as to each Mortgage Loan that is secured by the
interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease, at its own expense,
promptly (and in any event within 45 days of the Closing Date) notify the
related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund
pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of
default under the related ground lease should thereafter be forwarded to the
Master Servicer.
SECTION 2.2 ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee will hold (i) the documents
constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, (ii) the other REMIC
I assets, (iii) the REMIC II assets and (iv) the REMIC III assets, in each case,
in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders,
and will hold the grantor trust assets for the use and benefit of present and
future Class N Certificateholders.
54
<PAGE>
Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement in respect of the Initial
Certification, and within 75 days after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement in respect of the Final Certification, the Trustee shall examine the
Mortgage Files in its possession, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Seller a certification (the "INITIAL
CERTIFICATION" and the "FINAL CERTIFICATION", respectively, in the respective
forms set forth as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2 hereto) stating, (i) in the case
of the Initial Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions to
Mortgage File delivery attached thereto, that (A) all documents specified in
clause (i) of the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession, (B) such
documents have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated,
damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents
relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as
provided in clause (i) of the definition of "Mortgage File"; and (ii) in the
case of the Final Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, except as may be certified in the schedule of exceptions to
Mortgage File delivery attached thereto, that (W) all documents specified in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (ix), (xi), (xii) (to the extent it relates to the
foregoing), (xiii) and (xvi) (to the extent it relates to the foregoing) are in
its possession, (X) all documents delivered to it or a Custodian as part of the
related Mortgage File have been reviewed by it or such Custodian and have not
been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically
altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan, (Y) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the street address of the
Mortgaged Property (but not the zip code) and the name of the Mortgagor set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan accurately
reflects the information contained in the documents in the Mortgage File and (Z)
each Mortgage Note has been endorsed and each Mortgage has been assigned as
provided in clauses (i) and (iii), respectively, of the definition of "Mortgage
File." The Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and each Seller (as to its respective Mortgage Loans only), the Operating
Adviser and the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, a copy of
such Final Certification. Within 180 days after the Cut-off Date, the Trustee
shall provide a confirmation to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
each Seller of receipt or non-receipt of recorded Assignments of Mortgage. In
giving the certifications required above, the Trustee shall be under no
obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine whether they or the
signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or
appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation
agreement, extension agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC Financing
Statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement or letter of
credit; provided that to the extent the Depositor has notified the Trustee in
writing that any particular documents are to be included in a particular
Mortgage File, the Trustee shall confirm that such documents are included in
such Mortgage File.
The Trustee or its authorized agents shall retain possession and custody of
each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

SECTION 2.3 SELLERS' REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS FOR DOCUMENT DEFECTS AND
BREACHES OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) If any party hereto discovers that any document constituting a part of
a Mortgage File has a Material Defect, or discovers or receives notice of a
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant relating to any Mortgage Loan
set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as the case may be,
that may give rise to a repurchase obligation on the part of the related Seller
(a "BREACH"), such party shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
hereto. Promptly upon discovering or receiving notice of any such Material
Defect or Breach, the Trustee shall request that the related Seller within the
time period provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement cure
such Material Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan for a cash amount equal to the applicable
Purchase Price, all in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, that, in lieu of effecting any such repurchase, a
Seller will be permitted to deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to
pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject
to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
this Agreement.
A document in the Mortgage File shall be deemed to have a "MATERIAL DEFECT"
if (a) any document required to be included in the Mortgage File is not in the
Trustee's possession within the time required to be delivered, (b) such document
has been mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered in
any material respect at the time of its delivery to the Trustee, (c) the
information referred to in clause (Y) of Section 2.2 that is set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan differs from the
information contained in the documents in the Mortgage File, or (d) the related
Mortgage Note has not been endorsed or the related Mortgage has not been
assigned, or the related assignment of Mortgage has not been delivered as
provided in Section 2.1 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
obligate the Trustee to review any Mortgage File, or any part thereof, except as
required by Section 2.2 hereof.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall direct the
related Seller to deliver to the Trustee for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan (with a copy to the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File with the
related Mortgage Note endorsed as required by clause (i) of the definition of
"Mortgage File." No substitution may be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans after the related date of substitution, and
Monthly Payments due with respect to Deleted Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off
Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the
Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loans on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due
with respect to Deleted Mortgage Loans after the related date of substitution,
shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be remitted by the Master Servicer
to the related Seller promptly following receipt.
In any month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount. The
Trustee shall direct such Seller to deposit cash
56
<PAGE>
equal to such amount into the Collection Account concurrently with the delivery
of the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, without any
reimbursement thereof. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the
Trustee of such deposit promptly following the occurrence thereof.
If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Trustee shall
designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of
the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall
be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.
The Trustee shall direct the related Seller to amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of each Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if
applicable, the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan; and,
upon such amendment, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the delivery of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto. Upon any such
substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement in all respects.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each promptly tender to the related Seller (on a
servicing released basis), upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed
by such Seller, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining
to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part
of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned by the Trustee (or the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) to the extent necessary or appropriate to the
related Seller, or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate
forms of assignment (to be provided by the Master Servicer), substantially
similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which documents were previously
assigned to the Trustee, but in any event, without recourse, representation or
warranty; provided that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its
receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release.
(c) The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and this Section 2.3 provide the
sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders, respecting any Material Defect or Breach.
SECTION 2.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Depositor hereby represents
and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee as of the Closing Date that:
(i) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing

hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under, (A) any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule,
regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its
properties that would material and adversely affect the Depositor's ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (B) the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor; or (C) the terms of any agreement
or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound;

body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over
it, which materially and adversely affects or to the best knowledge of the
Depositor may in the future materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, any state, federal or other governmental authority or
agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken in order
for the Depositor to perform its obligations hereunder;
(iv) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the

insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally as from time to time in efect, (B) to general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a

underlying the securities laws to the extent that such considerations limit
the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to
provide for indemnification for securities law violations;
(v) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
best of the Depositor's knowledge, threatened or likely to be asserted
against or affecting the Depositor, before or by any court, administrative
agency, arbitrator or governmental body, with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, respect to any other matter
that in the judgment of the Depositor will be determined adversely to the
Depositor and will, if determined adversely to the Depositor, materially
and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement; and
(vi) Immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, the Depositor had good title to and was the
sole owner of each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all adverse
claims, charges or security interests.
SECTION 2.5 CONVEYANCE OF INTERESTS. Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set
over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Trustee, without recourse, in
trust, all the right, title and interest of the

for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (the "CERTIFICATE
REGISTER"). The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed by
the Trustee or the Certificateholders, and a new successor may be appointed, in
accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and
7.7 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor trustee. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Trustee, any
trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided that the Certificate Registrar shall not be
relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such
appointment.
SECTION 3.3 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) A Certificate may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office (or
the New York Presenting Office, if any) duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or such Holder's
duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence, and subject to the restrictions set forth in the other
subsections of this Section 3.3, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or more new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, and
evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Balance,
Certificate Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
or transfer of Certificates. The Trustee may decline to accept any request for a
registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period beginning five
calendar days prior to any Distribution Date.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of
new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the aggregate the same aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, Certificate
Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate
surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the Corporate
Trust Office (or the New York Presenting Office, if any) duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of exchange duly executed by such Holder or
such Holder's duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will
evidence the same obligations, and will be
60
<PAGE>
entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No
service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates that
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) All Definitive Certificates that are Privately Offered Certificates
shall initially be Legended Definitive Certificates. By acceptance of a Legended
Definitive Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer,
each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer
of such Certificate set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will
transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.
The Securities Legend shall appear on the face of the Legended Definitive
Certificates as follows:
THE CERTIFICATES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER
THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"),
OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A)(1) TO A BUYER THAT
THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE
MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT
OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION
MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF
AVAILABLE), OR (3) TO A BUYER WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS AN
INSTITUTIONAL "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) OF REGULATION D OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY
OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.
A transferee shall only be able to take delivery of an Unlegended
Definitive Certificate that is a Privately Offered Certificate if and after the
Depositor submits to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of the Depositor stating
that the Securities Legend is not required on such Definitive Certificate by
applicable law. Upon the Depositor submitting such Opinion of Counsel to the
Trustee, the Holder of such Certificate may submit such Certificate to the
Trustee to exchange such Certificate for an Unlegended Definitive Certificate,
which is to be provided by the Depositor, and the Trustee shall satisfy such
request notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, and delivery
permitted herein of a Legended Definitive Certificate may be made in the form of
an Unlegended Definitive Certificate.
61
<PAGE>
Except as described below in Sections 3.3(d), 3.3(e) and 3.3(f), no
restrictions to transfer shall apply to the transfer or registration of transfer
of an Unlegended Definitive Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in
the form of an Unlegended Definitive Certificate.
(d)
(i) No transfer of a Senior Certificate shall be made unless in
accordance with the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and Section 4975 of
the Code and the terms of the Exemption as described in the Prospectus
Supplement under "ERISA Considerations". No employee benefit plan or other
plan that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a "PLAN") as
to which the Initial Purchaser, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Operating Adviser or the Trustee is a
party in interest or disqualified person, and no QIB acting on behalf of or
with "plan assets" of any such Plan, may acquire such Certificates unless
pursuant to a statutory exemption or any of the administrative exemptions
issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, such that the acquisition and holding
of Senior Certificates by, on behalf of or with "plan assets" of such Plan
would not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of the application of one or more
of the statutory or administrative exemptions from the prohibited transaction
rules described in the Memorandum.
(ii) No transfer of a Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless
the acquirer (i) is not a Plan and is not using "plan assets" of any Plan to
acquire such Certificates, or (ii) is an insurance company investing solely
assets of its general account and such purchase and holding of such
Certificates will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Privately Offered
Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge
or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or
is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state
securities laws. If a transfer of any Privately Offered Certificate held as a
Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities
Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a
transfer of such Privately Offered Certificate by the Depositor or one of its
Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon)
either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective Transferee substantially
in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A hereto or as Exhibit D-2B hereto; or
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such
transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together
with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based (such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). If a
transfer of any interest in a Privately Offered Certificate that constitutes
62
<PAGE>
a Book-Entry Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities
Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a
transfer of any interest in such Privately Offered Certificate by the Depositor
or any of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such
transfer shall be required to obtain either (i) a certificate from such
Certificate Owner's prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit D-3A hereto or as Exhibit D-3B hereto, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or
qualify any Class of Privately Offered Certificates under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of any qualification. Any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of Privately Offered
Certificates or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriter, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration
or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(f)
(i) No Residual Certificate may be held or beneficially owned by a
Disqualified Organization. The Residual Certificates shall not be held or
beneficially owned by a non-United States Person. Prior to the registration
of any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Residual Certificate,
the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F, to the effect
that such transferee (1) agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and any restrictions set forth on the face of such Residual Certificate, as
the case may be, and (2) is not a Disqualified Organization or a non-United
States Person and will not hold such Residual Certificate on behalf of a
Disqualified Organization or non-United States Person, and will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as such.
The transferor of the Residual Certificate shall also provide the Trustee
with a Transferor Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E.
(ii) In addition, any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of
any such Certificate to a Pass-Through Entity shall not be registered (to the
extent the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the transferee is
a Pass-Through Entity), unless the proposed transferee shall have agreed in
writing, in such form as the Trustee may require, to provide to the Trustee
such information as the Trustee may reasonably require concerning any record
interest holder or principal of such Pass-Through Entity who is or was a
Disqualified Organization. Any Holder of a Residual Certificate, by its
acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the
provisions of this Section 3.3(f).
(iii) The restrictions described in this Section 3.3(f) shall not
apply to a transfer of any such Certificate if the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the restrictions described in this
Section 3.3(f) are not necessary to avoid the
63
<PAGE>
imposition of tax on a REMIC or the disqualification of any REMIC as a REMIC
under the Code.
(iv) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate, then the last-preceding non-Disqualified Organization
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
transfer of such Residual Certificate. If a non-United States Person shall
become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last-preceding United
States Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such transfer of such Residual Certificate. If a transfer of
a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last-preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.3(f) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for
taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
this Agreement.
(2) (B) If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.3(f) and to the
extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such
Residual Certificate as described in clause (iv)(A) above shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice
to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the
Trustee may choose. Such purported transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver
each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee.
Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of the Trustee. The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will
be remitted by the Trustee to such purported transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iv)(B) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person
having an ownership interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
(i) Trustee shall make available all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an ownership
interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such
Residual Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service
and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the
Code that holds an ownership interest in a Residual Certificate having as
among its record holders at any time any
64
<PAGE>
Person who is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for
providing such information may be required by the Trustee from such Person.
(g) Each investor purchasing Privately Offered Certificates from either
Underwriter will be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows (terms used
herein that are defined in Rule 144A or in Regulation D under the Securities Act
("REGULATION D") are used herein as defined therein):
(i) The investor understands that the Certificates have not been
registered under the Securities Act, and that if in the future it decides to
offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates within two
years after the later of the original issuance of such Certificates or the
last date on which such Certificates are held by an affiliate of the
Depositor, it will do so only (i) to the Depositor, (ii) to a person that the
seller reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements
of Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available), or (iv) in
certificated form to an Institutional Accredited Investor that delivers to
the Trustee a letter in the form of Exhibit D-2B hereto and such
certifications, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee 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 Securities Act, and in each case in
accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United
States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
(ii) The investor understands that the Certificates, except for the
Residual Certificates, will be issued only in the form of Book-Entry
Certificates, which will be held by the Custodian. Purchasers of such
Certificates will acquire beneficial interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates, which interests will be held directly or indirectly through
Participants.
(iii) The investor understands that Certificates will bear a
Securities Legend unless the Depositor determines otherwise consistent with
applicable law.
The Senior Certificates will also bear the following additional legend:
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IF THE TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS AN
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OR OTHER PLAN SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
PROVISIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS
AMENDED, OR SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, OR
ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF SUCH PLAN OR USING THE ASSETS OF ANY SUCH PLAN
TO ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS CERTIFICATE, SUCH PLAN OR SUCH PERSON MUST BE AN
ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF
REGULATION D OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT").
65
<PAGE>
The Subordinate Certificates will also bear the following legend:
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON THAT IS AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OR OTHER PLAN
SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT
INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA"), OR SECTION 4975 OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"), OR ANY PERSON ACTING
ON BEHALF OF ANY SUCH PLAN OR USING THE ASSETS OF SUCH PLAN TO ACQUIRE THIS
CERTIFICATE, EXCEPT FOR AN INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTING SOLELY ASSETS OF ITS
GENERAL ACCOUNT, WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT
THE PURCHASE AND OWNERSHIP OF THE CERTIFICATE WILL NOT RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT
PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE.
The Residual Certificates will also bear the following additional legend:
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED TO
"DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATIONS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
OF 1986, AS AMENDED.
(iv) The investor is either (A) a QIB purchasing for its own account
or for the account of another QIB and it and such other Person are aware that
the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) an Institutional
Accredited Investor and is purchasing the Certificates for its own account or
for an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion.
(v) If the investor is a QIB, the investor understands that the
Certificates offered in reliance on Rule 144A will be represented by the
Book-Entry Certificates. Before any interest in the Book-Entry Certificates
may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the transferee will be required to provide the Trustee
with a Purchaser's Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3A as to
compliance with the transfer restrictions referred to above.
(vi) The investor will deliver to each Institutional Accredited
Investor to whom it transfers Certificates notice of any restrictions on
transfer of such Certificates.
(vii) If the investor is acquiring Senior Certificates, it
understands that, in accordance with the prohibited transaction rules of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and the terms of the Exemptions (as such
term is defined and described under the heading "ERISA CONSIDERATIONS" in the
Prospectus Supplement), no Plan as to which either Underwriter, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Adviser
or the Trustee is a party in interest or disqualified person, and no
qualified institutional buyer acting on behalf of or with "plan assets" of
any such Plan, may acquire such Certificates unless pursuant to a statutory
exemption or any of the
66
<PAGE>
administrative exemptions issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, such that
the acquisition and holding of Senior Certificates by, on behalf of or with
"plan assets" of such Plan would not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of
the application of one or more of the statutory or administrative exemptions
from the prohibited transaction rules described herein.
(viii) If the investor is acquiring Subordinate or Residual
Certificates, (i) it is not a Plan and is not using "plan assets" of any Plan
to acquire such Certificates and (ii) if it is an insurance company, it is
investing solely assets of its general account, and it shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
(ix) If the investor is acquiring any Privately Offered Certificate
as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that
it has sole investment discretion with respect to such account and that it
has full power to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements
contained herein on behalf of each such account.
(x) The investor acknowledges that the Depositor, the Underwriters,
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and others will rely on the truth and accuracy
of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, and agrees
that if any of the foregoing representations and agreements deemed to have
been made by it by its purchase are no longer accurate, it shall promptly
notify the Depositor and the Underwriters.
(xi) Each original purchaser of the Certificates will be required to
sign a Purchaser's Letter in the form attached as Exhibit D-2A, D-2B, D-3A or
D-3B hereto.
(xii) The Trustee shall have no liability to the Trust arising from
a transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a certification, ruling or
Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 3.3; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not register the transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has
actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not meet the
qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Residual Certificate as set forth
in this Section 3.3.
SECTION 3.4 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) except in the case of a mutilated Certificate so
surrendered, there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Trustee 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
67
<PAGE>
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.
SECTION 3.5 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to presentation of a Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Operating Adviser and any agent of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the
Trustee or the Operating Adviser may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Operating Adviser nor any agent of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee or the Operating Adviser
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 3.6 BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Class of REMIC III Regular
Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more
physical certificates (collectively, as to any Class of Book-Entry Certificates,
a "GLOBAL CERTIFICATE") representing such Class, to be delivered to the Trustee,
as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the "DEPOSITORY"), the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Global Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such
Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 3.8. Unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to the
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.8:
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall be in full force and
effect with respect to each such Class;
(ii) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar
and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including
the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.6 conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
3.6 shall control with respect to each such Class; and
(iv) the rights of the Certificate Owners of each such Class shall
be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency, the Participants and/or the
Indirect Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until
Certificates are issued in respect of such Classes pursuant to Section 3.8,
the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among
68
<PAGE>
the Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and
interest on the related Certificates to such Participants.
(b) For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the Certificates
evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal (and, in the
case of the Class X Certificates, notional) amount of Certificates, such
direction or consent may be given in respect of such Classes by the Clearing
Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the
requisite percentage of principal (and, in the case of the Class X Certificates,
notional) amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting
actions with respect to the Certificates to the extent that such actions are
taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.
SECTION 3.7 NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.8, the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
SECTION 3.8 DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES.
(a) Definitive Certificates will be issued to the owners of beneficial
interests in a Class of Book-Entry Certificates or their nominees if (i) the
Depository notifies the Depositor and the Trustee in writing that the Depository
is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for the Book-Entry
Certificates and a qualifying successor Clearing Agency is not appointed by the
Depositor within 90 days thereof, (ii) the Depositor, at its option, elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) an Event of
Default shall have occurred and is continuing and Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights thereof advise the
Depository and the Trustee in writing that the continuation of the book-entry
system through the Depository (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best
interest of Certificateholders. Upon notice of the occurrence of either of the
events described in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of the event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions
from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the
Fiscal Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall
recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
69
<PAGE>
(b) Distributions of principal and interest on the Definitive Certificates
shall be made by the Trustee directly to holders of Definitive Certificates in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV.
ADVANCES
SECTION 4.1 P&I ADVANCES BY MASTER SERVICER.
(a) On or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date,
the Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.4, either (i) deposit into the
Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date,
(ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution to
Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to
make P&I Advances, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of
(i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any
amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to
make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's
records and advanced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account
on or before the next succeeding Determination Date (to the extent not
previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent
principal and interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If, as
of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer
shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made on such date pursuant to
this Section 4.1(a) (and shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite
Officer's Certificate and documentation related to a determination of
nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance), then the Trustee shall provide notice of
such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile
transmission sent to telecopy no. (816) 435-2326 (or such alternative number
provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at
telephone no. (816) 435-5000 (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 P&I Advance Date.
(b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including without limitation Balloon Mortgage
Loans delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments and REO Mortgage Loans)
for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.4 below, the
aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed
Monthly Payments, in each case net of any related Master Servicing Fee and
Workout Fee, that were due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect thereof
on their respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period and that were
not paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors or otherwise collected as of
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the P&I Advance
Date, or otherwise offset as provided in Section 4.1(a) by amounts held in the
Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders; provided that,
if an Appraisal Reduction has occurred (and for so long as it exists) with
respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of subsequent
delinquencies thereon, the amount of the P&I Advance in respect of such Required
Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced to an amount
equal to the product of (i) the amount of the P&I Advance for such Required
Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date
70
<PAGE>
without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a
percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of
such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of
the related Appraisal Reduction, if any, and the denominator of which is equal
to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately
prior to such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer will not be required to advance Penalty Charges, Default Interest, Late
Fees, Excess Interest or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges.
SECTION 4.2 SERVICING ADVANCES.
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent shall each make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this
Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent determines, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 4.4 below, that any such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. Any such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the
Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
if the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make any Servicing
Advance but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its sole
discretion, on five Business Days notice (or such lesser period as shall be
reasonably requested by the Special Servicer) request that the Master Servicer
make such Servicing Advance, such request to be made in writing, not more
frequently than once every calendar month and in a timely manner that does not
materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder and to be
accompanied by such additional information regarding the circumstances
surrounding such Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably
request. Subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the
obligation to make any such Servicing Advance that it is requested by the
Special Servicer to make within ten (10) days of the Master Servicer's receipt
of such request, except Emergency Advances, which shall be made by the Master
Servicer within five Business Days of the request by the Special Servicer (or
such lesser period as shall be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer).
The Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a
Servicing Advance that it requests the Master Servicer to make (regardless of
whether or not the Master Servicer shall make such Advance). The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the
direction of the Special Servicer, together with Advance Interest thereon, at
the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer
is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advance made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(b), the Master
Servicer shall not be required to make at the Special Servicer's direction, or
to reimburse the Special Servicer for, any Servicing Advance if the Master
Servicer determines (in its good faith and reasonable judgment) that the
Servicing Advance which the Special Servicer is requesting the Master Servicer
to make or to reimburse to the Special Servicer hereunder, although not
characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is
or would be, if made, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Special
71
<PAGE>
Servicer in writing of such determination. Such notice shall not obligate the
Special Servicer to make any such proposed Servicing Advance. The Special
Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer with any information that
comes into its possession that constitutes evidence that any future Advances
made with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property would be Nonrecoverable
Advances.
SECTION 4.3 ADVANCES BY TRUSTEE.
(a) To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance by
11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day following the related P&I
Advance Date (other than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer determines is a
Nonrecoverable Advance), the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance unless the
Trustee determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. To the extent that the Trustee is required hereunder to make P&I
Advances, it shall deposit the amount thereof in the Distribution Account on the
relevant Distribution Date.
(b) To the extent that the Trustee fails to make a P&I Advance required to
be made by the Trustee hereunder by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any
Distribution Date (other than a P&I Advance that the Trustee determines is or
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Fiscal Agent will advance such P&I
Advance unless the Fiscal Agent determines that any such P&I Advance, if made,
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. To the extent that the Fiscal Agent is
required hereunder to make P&I Advances, it shall deposit the amount thereof in
the Distribution Account on such Distribution Date.
(c) To the extent that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer fails to
make a Servicing Advance by the fifteenth day after such Servicing Advance is
required to be made (other than a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer determines is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), if the
Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee will be required to
give the defaulting party notice of such failure and, if such failure continues
for three (3) more Business Days, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance
unless the Trustee determines that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
(d) To the extent that the Trustee fails to make a Servicing Advance
required to be made by the Trustee hereunder by the later of (i) the date such
Servicing Advance is required to be made and (ii) five Business Days after the
date the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure pursuant to subsection (c)
above, that such Servicing Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer
(other than a Servicing Advance that the Trustee determines is or would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance), the Fiscal Agent will advance such Servicing Advance,
unless the Fiscal Agent determines that such Servicing Advance, if made, would
be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(e) The initial Trustee's failure to make any Advance required to be made
by it hereunder shall not constitute a default by the initial Trustee hereunder
if the initial Fiscal Agent makes such Advance.
72
<PAGE>
SECTION 4.4 EVIDENCE OF NONRECOVERABILITY. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition,
Nonrecoverable Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 5.2 out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the
Collection Account. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or, if applicable, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
promptly (and, in any event, in the case of a proposed P&I Advance to be made by
the Master Servicer, no less than one Business Day prior to the related P&I
Advance Date) to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby) and the
Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with (if
such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or
REO Property) a copy of an Appraisal or internal evaluation of the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be, which shall have been
performed within the twelve months preceding such determination, and further
accompanied by any other information that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer may have obtained and that supports such determination. If such an
Appraisal or internal evaluation shall not have been required and performed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith
determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the
related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the
Trust payable out of the Collection Account. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent
shall each be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that
may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect
to a particular Advance, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any
determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special
Servicer with respect to a particular Advance and shall have no obligation to
make a separate determination of recoverability, and the Special Servicer shall
be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been
made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular Advance and shall have
no obligation to make a separate determination of recoverability.
SECTION 4.5 ADVANCE INTEREST. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at
the Advance Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each
Advance made thereby (out of its own funds) for so long as such Advance is
outstanding, payable: first, out of Penalty Charges actually collected by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect of the related Mortgage Loan
(including, without limitation, an REO Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I
Advance was made) or second, if such amounts are insufficient, out of general
collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor any other party
shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any P&I Advance made with
respect to Mortgage Loan Number 99-5-117, for the period commencing on the date
of such P&I Advance and ending on the day on which the grace period applicable
to the related Mortgagor's obligation to make the related Monthly Payment
expires pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than the Business Day

8.19. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the
Master Servicer and shall deliver promptly, but in no event later than the

be invested by, and at the risk of, the Master Servicer in Eligible Investments
selected by the Master Servicer which shall mature, unless payable on demand,
not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Master Servicer

shall be made in the name of "Midland Loan Services, Inc., in trust for LaSalle

shall be liable for any loss incurred on such Eligible Investments.
An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such investment
(to the extent not needed to offset losses from other investments) shall be paid
to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject
to its withdrawal at any time from time to time. The amount of any losses
incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of the

offset by income from other investments) in the Collection Account out of its
own funds no later than the next Master Servicer Remittance Date.
Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any default
occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or if a
default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible Investment,
the Trustee or the Master Servicer may take such action as may be appropriate to
enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution
of appropriate proceedings; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer shall
have deposited in the Collection Account an amount equal to all amounts due
under any such Eligible Investment (net of anticipated income or earnings
thereon that would have been payable to the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation), the Master Servicer shall have the sole right to
enforce such payment or performance.
(f) Certain of the Mortgage Loans may provide for payment by the Mortgagor
to the Master Servicer of amounts to be used for payment of Escrow Payments for
the account of the Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall deal with these amounts

related Mortgage Loans.

ARTICLE VI.
DISTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 6.1 DISTRIBUTIONS GENERALLY.
(a) All distributions made with respect to each Class on each Distribution
Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such
Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise
provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective
Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such
Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee with wiring
instructions on or before the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may
be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution
Dates) or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as
it appears in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each
Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of
any Realized Loss or Expense Loss previously allocated to such Certificate) will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Any
distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement
of a Realized Loss or Expense Loss previously allocated thereto, which
reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is
surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check
mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate
at such address as last appeared in the Certificate Registrar or to any other
address of which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing.
(b) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to
the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Participants in
accordance with its normal procedures. Each Participant shall be responsible for
disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to
each Indirect Participant for which it acts as agent. Each Participant and
Indirect Participant shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the
Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent,
the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by
this Agreement or applicable law.
(c) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the
proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their Certificates, and all rights and
interests of the
86
<PAGE>
Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto
shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of
Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the
Certificates. Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses and Expense
Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates shall not constitute
distributions of principal and shall not result in a reduction of the related
Class Principal Balance.

otherwise been deemed paid to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests pursuant to this Section 6.2(a).
(b) On the Distribution Date occurring in (A) January of each calendar year
that is not a leap year and (B) February of each calendar year, interest
payments constituting the Withheld Amounts that would otherwise be distributable
pursuant to clause (a)(i) above shall be deposited in the Interest Reserve

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any amounts then
on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Yield Maintenance Charges
collected in respect of Mortgage Loans during or prior to the related Collection
Period and shall distribute such amounts, in each case, subject to available
funds, as additional interest, to the Holders of the following Classes of
Certificates. The product of the Base Interest Fraction and the aggregate amount
of such Yield Maintenance Charges will be allocated for distribution to Classes
then entitled to receive principal distributions on the related Distribution
Date (other than the Class H, J, K, L, M and N Certificates). The product of (a)
the amount of principal distributed to each Class as a percentage of the
principal distributed to all Classes multiplied by (b) the Base Interest
Fraction and multiplied by (c) the amount of Yield Maintenance Charges
collected, will be distributed to each such Class. The remainder of such Yield
Maintenance Charges will be distributed to the Class X Certificates.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any amounts then on
deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Premiums collected
in respect of Mortgage Loans during or prior to the related Collection Period
and shall distribute such amounts, in each case, subject to available funds, as
additional interest, to the Holders of the following Classes of Certificates.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Prepayment Premiums collected during any
Collection Period will be allocated for distribution to Classes entitled to

basis, based on the amount of principal distributed to each such Class as a
percentage of the amount of principal distributed to all classes. The remainder
of such Prepayment Premiums will be allocated to the Class X Certificates.
(d) All of the foregoing distributions to be made from the Distribution
Account on any Distribution Date with respect to the REMIC III Certificates
shall be deemed made from the payments deemed made to REMIC III in respect of
the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
6.3.
(i) SECTION 6.4.1. GRANTOR TRUST.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess
Interest Distribution Account the amount on deposit therein, and shall pay such
amount to the
97
<PAGE>
Holders of the Class N Certificates in respect of their beneficial ownership
interest in the assets of the grantor trust, pro rata in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made in addition to
any amounts distributable to such Holders pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof in
respect of their interests in the REMIC regular interest evidenced by such Class
N Certificates, and without regard to whether the REMIC regular interest
component of the Class N Certificates is then outstanding.
SECTION 6.5 ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES AND EXPENSE LOSSES.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be
made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 6.2, the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest (after taking
account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced to equal the Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (including without limitation an
REO Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, a Replacement Mortgage Loan) that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. Such reductions shall
be deemed to be an allocation of Realized Losses and Expense Losses.
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the payments deemed to be made to
REMIC III in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to
Section 6.3, the Trustee shall also determine the amount, if any, by which (i)
the then-aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular
Interests A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M and N exceeds (ii) the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding
immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then
the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC II Regular
Interests shall be reduced sequentially, in reverse alphabetical order of letter
designation, in each case, until the first to occur of such excess being reduced
to zero or the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the particular REMIC II
Regular Interest being reduced to zero. Such reductions in the Uncertificated
Principal Balances of such REMIC II Regular Interests shall be deemed to be
allocations of Realized Losses and Expense Losses.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to be made to
the Certificateholders on such date pursuant to Section 6.4, the Trustee shall
determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, exceeds (ii) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding
immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then
the Class Principal Balances of the Class N, Class M, Class L, Class K, Class J,
Class H, Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates
shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until the first to
occur of such excess being reduced to zero or the related Class Principal
Balance being reduced to zero. If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount
described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the
amount described in clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, then the
respective Class Principal Balances of the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates
shall be reduced, pro rata in accordance with the relative sizes of the
then-outstanding Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates, until
the first to occur of such excess being reduced to zero or each such Class
Principal Balance being reduced to zero. Such reductions in the Class Principal
Balances of the respective Classes of Principal Certificates shall be deemed to
be allocations of Realized Losses and Expense Losses.

SECTION 6.6 APPRAISAL REDUCTIONS. Not later than the earliest of the dates
set forth in the definition of "Appraisal Event" in respect of any Mortgage
Loan, or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is diligently and in
good faith proceeding to obtain an appraisal, the Special Servicer shall obtain
(A) an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as
applicable, if the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan
exceeds $1,000,000 or (B) if the Stated Principal Balance of such Required
Appraisal Loan is less than or equal to $1,000,000, at the election of the
Special Servicer an internal valuation prepared by the Special Servicer;
provided that, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), if the Special Servicer
had completed or obtained an Appraisal or internal valuation within the
immediately preceding 12 months, the Special Servicer may rely on such Appraisal
or internal valuation and shall have no duty to prepare a new Appraisal or
internal valuation, unless such reliance would not be in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. Such Appraisal or internal valuation shall be updated at
least annually to the extent such Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal
Loan. The cost of any such Appraisal if not an internal valuation performed by
the Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Trust and may be paid from REO
Income, treated as an Additional Trust Expense or advanced by the Special
Servicer (or, at the direction of the Special Servicer, by the Master Servicer)
in which event it shall be treated as a Servicing Advance, subject to Section
4.4 hereof. The Master Servicer, based on the Appraisal or internal valuation
provided to it by the Special Servicer, shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction.
The Master Servicer shall calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction for
any Mortgage Loan based on updated Appraisals or internal valuations provided to
it from time to time by the Special Servicer. Any Appraisal or internal
valuation obtained by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be
delivered by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, and the Master
Servicer shall deliver such Appraisal or internal valuation to the Trustee
within 15 days of receipt by the Master Servicer of such Appraisal or internal
valuation from the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver such Appraisal
or internal valuation to the Holders of the Privately Offered Certificates
within 15 days of receipt by the Trustee of such Appraisal or internal valuation
from the Master Servicer.
SECTION 6.7 COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall comply with
all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to
Certificateholders of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that
the Trustee reasonably believes are subject to such requirements under the Code.
The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such
withholding. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from payments made to
any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee
shall indicate to such Certificateholder the amount withheld.

responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the

have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the
Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to
the Certificateholders.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents or Controlling Persons from liability for their own negligent
action, their own negligent failure to act or their own willful misconduct;
provided that:
(i) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons

(ii) No provision of this Agreement shall require either the Trustee
or the Fiscal Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any

the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;
(iii) None of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons
shall be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer, the

actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent the Trustee or
Fiscal Agent is acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer;

liquidation in connection with the REMIC Pools shall not constitute a
representation by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent as to the adequacy of such

100
<PAGE>
(v) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties as Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as applicable, in
accordance with this Agreement. In such event, all legal expense and costs of
such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust and the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.2(b); and
(vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be charged with
knowledge of any failure by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to
comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement or any act,
failure, or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee may
be required to act, except to the extent the Trustee or Fiscal Agent is
acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, or unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure. The Trustee
shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the failure of the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer to deliver to the Trustee any report,
certificate or other document required to be delivered to the Trustee but not
so delivered when required pursuant to this Agreement.

the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely

security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the

the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to post any surety or bond of any kind

except in the case of the initial Trustee or Fiscal Agent, in which case both
shall be so replaced concurrently, by written instrument, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Fiscal Agent, one copy
to the successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer and the
Rating Agencies. If no successor trustee or fiscal agent shall have been so
appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Fiscal Agent may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee
or fiscal agent.
(b) If at any time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged a 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, (iii) a tax is imposed or
threatened with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool by any state in which the
Trustee or the Trust held by the Trustee is located; provided, however, that, if
the Trustee and Fiscal Agent agree to indemnify the Trust for such taxes, it
shall not be removed pursuant to this clause (iii), or (iv) the continuation of
the Trustee as such may result in a downgrade, qualification (if applicable) or
withdrawal of the rating by any one or more of the Rating Agencies of any Class
of Certificates (provided that a designation of "negative" credit watch by Fitch
IBCA shall constitute a qualification), then the Depositor may remove such
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, one
104
<PAGE>
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy
to the successor trustee and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies. In the case of removal under clauses
(i)-(iv) above, the Trustee shall bear all such costs of such transfer. Such
succession shall take effect after a successor trustee has been appointed. In
the case of the removal of the initial Trustee, the Depositor shall also remove
the Fiscal Agent.
(c) If at any time (i) the Fiscal Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or (ii) a Fiscal Agent Termination
Event has occurred, then the Depositor shall send a written notice of
termination to the Fiscal Agent (which notice shall specify the reason for such
termination) and remove such Fiscal Agent and appoint a successor fiscal agent
by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Fiscal Agent so removed, one copy to the successor fiscal agent, and one copy to
each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating
Agencies. In all such cases, the Fiscal Agent shall bear all costs of transfer
to a successor fiscal agent, such succession only to take effect after a
successor fiscal agent has been appointed. In the case of the initial Fiscal
Agent, the Depositor may, but is not required to, also remove the Trustee.
(d) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may without cause upon 30 days' written notice to the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent and to the Depositor remove the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent by such
written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly
authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor and
one copy to the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent so removed; the Depositor shall
thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor trustee or fiscal agent in
accordance with this Section. The Certificateholders effecting such transfer
shall be responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such removal,
including fees and any related expenses, such as those incurred in transferring
the Mortgage Files to the successor trustee.
(e) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and
appointment of a successor trustee or fiscal agent meeting the eligibility
requirements of Section 7.5 pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee
and fiscal agent as provided in Section 7.7 and the commencement of its
obligations hereunder. Upon any succession of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent under
this Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to the
payment of compensation and reimbursement agreed to under this Agreement for
services rendered and expenses incurred (including without limitation
unreimbursed Advances made thereby, with any related unpaid Advance Interest
accrued on such Advances) at such times and from such sources as if the
predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent had not resigned or been removed. The
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any action or omission of
any successor trustee or fiscal agent.
SECTION 7.7 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE OR FISCAL AGENT.
(a) Any successor trustee or fiscal agent appointed as provided in Section
7.6 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its
predecessor Trustee an
105
<PAGE>
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall become effective and
such successor trustee or 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 like effect as if originally
named as Trustee or Fiscal Agent herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver
to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and documents and statements related
to the Mortgage Files held by it hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer,
deliver and pay over to the successor trustee the entire Trust, together with
all instruments of transfer and assignment or other documents properly executed
necessary to effect such transfer and such records or copies thereof maintained
by the predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent in the administration hereof as may
be reasonably requested by the successor trustee or fiscal agent and shall
thereupon be discharged from all duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement. In addition, the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other things
as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in
the successor trustee or the successor fiscal agent all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no
event shall the combined fees payable to a successor trustee and successor
fiscal agent exceed the Trustee Fee.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 7.5.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or fiscal agent
as provided in this Section, the successor trustee or fiscal agent shall mail
notice of the succession of such Trustee or Fiscal Agent hereunder to the
Special Servicer, all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies (evidence of such mailing to be
provided to the Depositor and the Master Servicer). The expenses of such mailing
shall be borne by the successor trustee or fiscal agent.
SECTION 7.8 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE. Any Person into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Trustee shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding to the business of such
Trustee or Fiscal Agent, shall be the successor of such Trustee or Fiscal Agent
hereunder, provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 7.5, 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 7.9 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE, SEPARATE TRUSTEE OR CUSTODIAN.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee,
the Depositor or, in the case of the Trust, the Certificateholders entitled to
more than 50% of the Voting Rights shall each have the power from time to time
to appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage
Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business
where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the
Trustee is advised by the Master Servicer or
106
<PAGE>
Special Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or
advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage
Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal
requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing
a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust is
located. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be
trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders, shall have
such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of
appointment and shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions of this
Agreement; provided that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to,
constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee; provided, further that the
Trustee shall not be relieved of liability for the actions taken or omissions
made, without the consent of the Trustee, of any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed by it and shall not be liable for the actions of any co-trustee or
separate trustee not appointed by it.
(b) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other 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, co-trustee, or custodian
jointly, 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 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder;
and
(iv) the Trustee or, in the case of the Trust, the
Certificateholders entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights outstanding
may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee,
co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or
removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
(c) 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, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VII. 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
107
<PAGE>
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee or custodian 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.
(e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
7.5 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required.
(f) The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent
necessary to fulfill the Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(g) The Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees,
separate trustees or custodians appointed pursuant to this Section 7.9 and shall
be reimbursed in accordance with the standards, specified in Section 7.12
hereof.
(h) Subject to the consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Trustee, at its sole cost and expense, may appoint at
any time a Custodian to hold some or all of the Mortgage Files. The appointment
of a Custodian shall not relieve the Trustee from any duties, liabilities or
obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and
omissions of such Custodian. Upon the appointment of a Custodian, the Trustee
and the Custodian shall enter into a custodial agreement.
SECTION 7.10 AUTHENTICATING AGENTS.
(a) The Trustee, at its sole cost and expense, may appoint one or more
Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee
in executing and authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the execution and authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or
the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to
include execution and authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be
acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state and
having a principal office and place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City and State of New York or in the State of Illinois, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a
trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities. The Trustee initially shall be Authenticating Agent hereunder. No
such appointment shall relieve the Trustee of liability or responsibility for
the duties to be carried out by the Authenticating Agent.
108
<PAGE>
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to 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.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a), the Trustee may appoint a
successor authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. 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. No such Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10(a). No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.
SECTION 7.11 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Trustee and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and
Controlling Persons shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any
and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action not expressly required hereby to be borne by
the Trustee and incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part,
arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, the Certificates and the
acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder (including, without
limitation, any unanticipated loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
Depositor hereunder, except to the extent that the Trustee is acting as Master
Servicer or Special Servicer), including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and the Trustee and each
of its directors, officers, employees, agents and Controlling Persons shall be
entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any unanticipated loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with the provision by the Trustee of any
report required to be provided by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the
Depositor and the Holders of the Certificates written notice thereof promptly
after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof; provided, however, that
failure to give such notice to the Depositor and the Holders of Certificates
shall not affect the Trustee's rights to indemnification herein unless the
Master Servicer's defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby;
109
<PAGE>
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee
shall cooperate and consult fully with the Master Servicer in preparing such
defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.11,
the Trust shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee
entered into without the prior consent of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust, the Special Servicer and the
Master Servicer, and any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent
thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs,
liabilities, fees and expenses that either of them may sustain arising from or
as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent
disregard of the Trustee's obligations and duties hereunder, including a breach
of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic
advantage from being released from such obligations (unless such claim, loss,
penalty, fine, forfeiture, legal fees and related costs results from the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such indemnified party), and if in any
such situation the Trustee is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount
of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least
equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor trustee. Each of
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the
Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, the
Certificates or any asset of the Trust Fund entitling the Special Servicer or
the Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee shall
assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection
therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree that may be entered against it or them in respect of such
claim. Any failure to so notify the Trustee shall not affect any rights the
Special Servicer or the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this
Agreement or otherwise, unless the Trustee's defense of such claim is materially
prejudiced thereby and the Trustee delivers a certification explaining the
prejudice.
The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the resignation or
removal of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
SECTION 7.12 FEES AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE AND FISCAL AGENT. Monthly, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited
by any provision of law with respect to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust), for all services rendered by it 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. On or before the Master Servicer Remittance
Date in each month (commencing in March 2000), the Master Servicer shall,
pursuant to Section 5.2(a), remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account that portion of funds then on deposit in the Collection Account that are
allocable to cover the Trustee Fees, and the Trustee shall be entitled to
withdraw such portion from the Distribution Account to pay itself its unpaid
110
<PAGE>
Trustee Fees. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall also be entitled to recover
from the Trust all reasonable unanticipated expenses and disbursements incurred
or made by the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
reasonable expenses and disbursements of its outside counsel and other Persons
not regularly in its employ), not including expenses incurred in the ordinary
course of performing its duties as Trustee and Fiscal Agent hereunder, and
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of the Holders of the
Certificates hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.12 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and
Fiscal Agent.
SECTION 7.13 COLLECTION OF MONEYS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall
receive and collect, all money and other property payable to or receivable by
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall hold all such money
and property received by it as part of the Trust and shall distribute it as
provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee shall not have timely received
amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall request the Master Servicer to make such
distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee
shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such request.
SECTION 7.14 NOTIFICATION TO HOLDERS.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first
class mail to the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register.

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 Fiscal Agent under this Agreement from and after
the date of such agreement, (iv) the Rating Agencies shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor or resulting Person and
the Rating Agencies shall have provided Rating Agency Confirmation, and (v) the
Fiscal Agent shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee (which opinion shall be at the
expense of the Fiscal Agent) stating that all conditions precedent to such
action under this Section 7.19 have been completed and such action is permitted
by and complies with the terms of this Section 7.19.
SECTION 7.20 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE FISCAL AGENT AND OTHERS.
Neither the Fiscal Agent nor any of the directors, officers, employees, agents
or Controlling Persons of the Fiscal Agent shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, or the Trustee for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith, using reasonable
business judgment, pursuant to this Agreement; provided that this provision
shall not protect the Fiscal Agent or any such person against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in its performance of duties under this Agreement. The Fiscal Agent
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Fiscal Agent may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Fiscal
Agent shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 7.20 shall survive the resignation or removal of
the Fiscal Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.21 INDEMNIFICATION OF FISCAL AGENT. The Fiscal Agent and each of
its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs,
liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by
115

reason of a breach on the part of the Fiscal Agent of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or the Fiscal Agent's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder. The Fiscal Agent shall immediately notify the Master Servicer and the
Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Section 4.8
entitling the Fiscal Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents to
indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee shall assume the defense of any
such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent) and pay
out of the Distribution Account all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy out of the
Distribution Account any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer or
Trustee shall not affect any rights the Fiscal Agent, its directors, officers,
employees or agents may have to indemnification under this Section 7.21, unless
the Trustee's defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The
indemnification provided herein shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Fiscal Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII.
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 8.1 SERVICING STANDARD; GENERAL POWERS AND DUTIES.
(a) After the Closing Date, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the
Trust that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement
on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the sole benefit of
the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, in its good faith and reasonable judgment), in
accordance with applicable law, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the
respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing,
further as follows: (i) with the same skill, prudence, care and diligence as is
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing and property management
activities on behalf of third parties (giving due consideration to customary
industry standards) or on behalf of itself, whichever is higher, with respect to
mortgage loans and REO properties that are comparable to those for which it is
responsible hereunder; (ii) with a view to the timely collection of all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or, if a
Mortgage Loan comes into and continues in default and if, in the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can be
made for the collection of the delinquent payments, the maximization of the
recovery on such Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders (as a collective whole)
on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated
collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at
the related Net Mortgage Rate); and (iii) without regard to (A) any relationship
that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any
Affiliate thereof may have with the related Mortgagor, the Depositor, either
Seller, or other servicer of the Mortgage Loans, (B) the ownership of any
Certificate by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
or by any Affiliate thereof, (C) the Master Servicer's obligation to make
Advances, (D) the Special Servicer's obligation to make (or to direct the Master
Servicer to make) Servicing Advances, (E) the right of the Master Servicer (or
any Affiliate thereof) or the Special Servicer (or any
116
<PAGE>
Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, to receive reimbursement of costs, or
the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it, hereunder or with respect to
any particular transaction, (F) the ownership, management or servicing for
others of any other mortgage loans or mortgaged property; and (G) any obligation
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (as a seller
or an Affiliate of a seller of the Mortgage Loans), to pay any indemnity with
respect to, or repurchase, any Mortgage Loan (the conditions set forth in the
immediately foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the "SERVICING STANDARD").
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, in its own name, in connection with its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee to exercise all efforts consistent with the foregoing standard and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any
of them, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage
or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged
Property and related collateral; subject to Section 8.18, any and all
modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to any
documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties. Subject to Section 8.18, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer is also authorized to approve a request by a Mortgagor under a Mortgage
Loan that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement,
for an easement, consent to alteration or demolition, and for other similar
matters, provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, determines, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same
manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that such
approval will not affect the security for, or the timely and full collectability
of, the related Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 8.8, the Trustee shall
furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that
the Trustee shall not be held liable for any negligence with respect to, or
misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein with respect to specific
duties, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for the servicing and
administration of all the Mortgage Loans other than Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and REO Mortgage Loans, and the Special Servicer shall be responsible for
the servicing and administration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, REO
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and for monitoring the status of Mortgage
Loans that would be Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans but for the first proviso
in clause (a) of the definition of "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans." Subject
to Section 8.1(a), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have
full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 8.4, through
Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with
such servicing and administration that it may deem necessary or desirable.
(c) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with
respect to any Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the
117
<PAGE>
Master Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents
(but excluding the original documents in the Mortgage File) and records relating
to the Mortgage Loan either in the Master Servicer's possession or control or
otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and
reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its
functions hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a Sub-Servicer.
Any information shall be provided in a mutually agreed upon format, it being
understood that if no format is agreed upon, a hard copy of such information
shall be permitted. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to comply
with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the occurrence of each
related Servicing Transfer Event. The Special Servicer may, as to any delinquent
Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with
respect thereto, upon reasonable request, obtain the foregoing documents and
information.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof, and return
the related Servicing File, to the Master Servicer and upon giving such notice,
and returning such Servicing File, to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer's
right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and
administer such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement shall resume.
Notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall remain responsible for the billing, accounting, reporting
and other basic Master Servicer administrative functions with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, provided that the Special Servicer shall
establish procedures for the Master Servicer as to the application of receipts
and tendered payments and shall have the exclusive responsibility for and
authority over all contacts with and notices to Mortgagors and similar matters
relating to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged
Property.
(d) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer will each be required to
service and administer each of the respective groups of Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loans as a single Mortgage Loan as and when it deems necessary and
appropriate, consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any Cross-Collateralized
Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then each other
Mortgage Loan with which it is cross-collateralized shall also become a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, no Cross-Collateralized Mortgage
Loan may subsequently become a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless and until all
Servicing Transfer Events in respect of each other Mortgage Loan with which it
is cross-collateralized, are remediated or otherwise addressed as contemplated
above.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the same Person, all
notices, certificates, information and consents required to be given by the
Master Servicer to the Special Servicer or vice versa shall be deemed to be
given without the necessity of any action on such Person's part.
118
<PAGE>
(f) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee and, unless the same Person acts in both capacities, to
each other under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not of a joint venturer, partner or agent. Unless the
same person acts in both capacities, the Master Servicer shall have no
responsibility for the performance of the Special Servicer of its duties under
this Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall have no responsibility for the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.2 COLLECTION OF MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS.
(a) The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall follow procedures which
are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage
Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion
waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage
Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer
may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent
payment on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any Lock-Box Agreement or
similar agreement is required by the terms of the related Mortgage, the Master
Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts ("LOCK-BOX ACCOUNTS")
to be held outside the Trust and maintained by the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage. Subject to the terms of the related
Mortgage, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, Lock-Box Accounts shall
be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds deposited in
such accounts in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage, any Lock-Box
Agreement and/or any similar agreement and in accordance with the Servicing
Standard.
(c) So long as the related Mortgage Note has not been accelerated, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action
other than requests for payment with respect to payment of Excess Interest or
principal in excess of the principal component of the Monthly Payment prior to
the final maturity date. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will also
be permitted to forgive the payment of Excess Interest under the circumstances
set forth in Section 8.18.
SECTION 8.3 COLLECTION OF TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND SIMILAR ITEMS; SERVICING
ACCOUNTS AND RESERVE ACCOUNTS.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(the "SERVICING ACCOUNTS") into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and
retained. Subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage,
Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Withdrawals of amounts so
collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and interest earned thereon) from a
Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of
119
<PAGE>
real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable)
and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged Property; (ii)
reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and unreimbursed Advance
Interest made thereby to cover any of the items described in the immediately
preceding clause (i); (iii) refund to the related Mortgagor any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to the related Mortgagor on balances in the Servicing Account (or, if and
to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor, to pay such interest to the
Master Servicer); or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1. As part of its
servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, to the
extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, and otherwise
may retain such amounts.
(b) The Master Servicer shall (i) maintain accurate records with respect to
each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes,
assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and
the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof
and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such items (including renewal premiums); and the Master Servicer
shall effect payment thereof (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
at the direction of the Special Servicer) prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under
the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan does
not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items,
the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to the Specially
Serviced Mortgaged Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to comply with the requirements of the
related Mortgage for payments in respect of such items at the time they first
become due.
In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer (at the direction
of the Special Servicer in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, but
upon five Business Days notice (or such lesser period as the Special Servicer
shall reasonably request)) shall, subject to Section 4.4, advance with respect
to each related Mortgaged Property all such funds as are necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other
similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if
applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and
to the extent that Escrow Payments, if any, collected from the related Mortgagor
are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed
to pay such item on a timely basis, [unless, with respect to the payment of
taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer reasonably anticipates that such bill
will be paid by the Mortgagor by the close of business on or before the penalty
date, but in any event the Master Servicer shall make such Advance within 90
days after such date or five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer has
received confirmation that such item has not been paid, whichever is earlier,
provided that during such 90-day period the Master Servicer shall use best
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to confirm whether such bill has
been paid]. All such advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors, and further as provided in Section 5.2.
No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special
120
<PAGE>
Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, ground
rents (if applicable) and other similar items on or in respect of the Mortgaged
Properties shall, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
(c) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, as applicable, one or
more accounts (the "RESERVE ACCOUNTS"), into which all Reserve Funds, if any,
shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made
to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in connection with, the
related repairs, environmental remediation, replacements, capital improvements
and/or similar items at the related Mortgaged Property if such repairs,
environmental remediation, replacements, capital improvements and/or similar
items have been completed, and such withdrawals are made, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any
agreement with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds. Subject to
the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, all Reserve Accounts shall
be Eligible Accounts. Within 12 months after the Closing Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver a report to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Operating Adviser and the Depositor setting forth the status of each of the
Reserve Accounts established for a specified purpose and fully funded on the
Closing Date and the actions taken in respect of the purposes for which such
Reserve Accounts were established and any recommendations in respect thereof.
SECTION 8.4 SUB-SERVICING AGREEMENTS.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each enter into
Sub-Servicing Agreements for the servicing and administration of all or a part
of the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible hereunder, provided that, in
each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) is not inconsistent with this
Agreement and shall provide that the Sub-Servicer shall maintain errors and
omissions insurance and fidelity bond coverage as required of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 8.5 hereof, (ii) provides that if
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any
reason no longer be the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of an Event of Default and
its termination hereunder), the Trustee or its designee may (or in the case of
any Sub-Servicing Agreement between PMCC (or any Affiliate) and the Master
Servicer (the "PMCC Sub-Servicing Agreement") and the Master Servicer and any
primary servicer of RFC Loans (the "RFC Sub-Servicing Agreement"), such Person
shall) thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose
prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such agreement or, alternatively
(except in the case of the PMCC Sub-Servicing Agreement and the RFC
Sub-Servicing Agreement), may terminate such agreement without payment of any
termination fee or penalty out of the Trust; (iii) in the case of a
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer, expressly or
effectively provides that (if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
not the same Person) such agreement may terminate with respect to any Mortgage
Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan (provided that such agreement may provide that such
Mortgage Loan may again be serviced thereunder if it becomes a Corrected
Mortgage Loan); (iv) in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by
the
121
<PAGE>
Special Servicer, relates only to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO
Properties and expressly or effectively provides that (if the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer are not the same Person) such agreement shall terminate
with respect to any such Mortgage Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan;
(v) provides that the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall be
a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except
to the extent the successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable (including the Trustee or its designee) assumes the obligations of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as
contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust Fund,
the Trustee, any successor master servicer or special servicer (unless and to
the extent that the successor master servicer or the special servicer is a party
to such Sub-Servicing Agreement), as the case may be, or any Certificateholder
shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities
arising therefrom; (vi) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such
purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty and (vii) does not
permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be
satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund. References in this Agreement to
actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and,
in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer to satisfy the
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder to make Servicing Advances and P&I Advances shall be deemed to have
been advanced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, out of its own funds. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have received any payment when
the Sub-Servicer receives such payment. Annually, in connection with the
delivery of the Officer's Certificate contemplated in Section 8.12, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall identify to the other, the Trustee
and the Depositor any Sub-Servicers then retained thereby.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state
or states in which the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund)
monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
retained by it under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to
such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans.
Subject to the terms of the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have the right to remove a
Sub-Servicer retained by it at any time it considers such removal to be in the
best interests of Certificateholders.
122
<PAGE>
(d) In the event the Trustee or its designee assumes the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and
otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer each shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and
the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible. The Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall indemnify the Trust Fund
against any loss, damage or liability arising by reason of the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties by any
Sub-Servicer appointed by it or by reason of negligent disregard by such
Sub-Servicer of obligations and duties under this Agreement and such
Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to delegate to any
Sub-Servicer any right granted to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, hereunder to modify or foreclose upon any Mortgage Loan except
with the prior written consent and specific instructions of the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable.
(g) The fees of a Sub-Servicer (including the Primary Servicing Fees) shall
be the obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
that entered into the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and the Trust Fund shall
not bear any such fees or any termination fee payable to any Sub-Servicer as a
result of the Sub-Servicer's termination.
(h) The parties hereto acknowledge that any Sub-Servicer may itself
delegate the servicing and administration of all or a part of the Mortgage Loans
for which it is responsible to another sub-servicer, provided that the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the servicing and administration
of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with sub-section (e) above.
(i) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Mortgage Loan Seller under its
respective Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is required to promptly remit to the
Trustee any scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-off
Date, and that neither Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed a sub-servicer under
this Section 8.4 by virtue of such payments.
SECTION 8.5 MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE POLICIES; ERRORS AND OMISSIONS AND
FIDELITY COVERAGE.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each
Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the related Mortgaged Property all insurance
coverage (other than
123
<PAGE>
earthquake insurance) as is required under the related Mortgage; provided that
if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the
insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master
Servicer, or the Special Servicer in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, shall impose such insurance requirements as are consistent with the
Servicing Standard. If a Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance, the Master
Servicer shall (to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates and to
the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee on behalf of the Trust, has an insurable
interest) obtain such insurance (which may be through a master or single
interest policy), and the cost (including any deductible relating to such
insurance) of such insurance (or in the case of a master or single interest
policy, the incremental cost (including any deductible relating to such
insurance) of such insurance relating to the specific Mortgaged Property) shall
be a Servicing Advance (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2(a))
recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.2. If at any time a
Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Flood Hazard Boundary
Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards or it becomes located in such area by
virtue of remapping conducted by such agency (and flood insurance has been made
available), then upon the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer becoming aware
of such fact (using efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard), the Master
Servicer, or the Special Servicer in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, shall, if and to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor
or permits the Mortgagee to require the Mortgagor to do so, use efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to
maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing
coverage of not less than the least of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value of such Mortgaged Property,
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance coverage available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the
National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended, and (iv) 100% of the
replacement cost of the improvements on such Mortgaged Property. If (i) the
Mortgagor is required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan to maintain such
insurance (or becomes obligated by virtue of the related Mortgaged Property
becoming located in such area by virtue of such remapping) or (ii) the terms of
the Mortgage Loan permit the mortgagee to require the Mortgagor to obtain such
insurance, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Mortgagor of its
obligation to obtain such insurance. If the Mortgagor fails to obtain such flood
insurance within 120 days of such notification, the Master Servicer shall obtain
such insurance (to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), and
the cost of such insurance shall be a Servicing Advance recoverable by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.2. The Special Servicer shall cause to be
maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously
required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage if obtaining such insurance
can be done at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to cause to be maintained earthquake insurance for any REO
Property if obtaining such insurance is in accordance with its Servicing
Standard and such insurance can be obtained for such REO Property at
commercially reasonable rates.
All such insurance policies shall contain a "standard" mortgagee clause or
shall identify the Trustee as the named insured, as applicable, with any loss
payable to the Master Servicer (in the case of Mortgaged Properties) or the
Special Servicer (in the case of REO
124
<PAGE>
Properties) on behalf of the Trustee. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in
accordance with applicable law, the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents
and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.2. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit.
(b) (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a blanket
insurance policy, which provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to cause
hazard insurance to be maintained on such Mortgaged Properties or REO
Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will 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 8.5(a),
and (ii) a loss occurs that 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. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders,
claims under any such blanket insurance policy maintained by it in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The incremental cost of
such insurance allocable to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, if not borne
by the Mortgagor, will be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(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, which provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to cause
hazard insurance to be maintained on such Mortgaged Properties and/or REO
Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Master Servicers 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 8.5(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. The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the
125
<PAGE>
Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such master force placed
insurance policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to any
Mortgaged Property or REO Property, if not borne by the Mortgagor, will be paid
by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and
maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the
term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions
insurance policy covering its officers and employees. The amount of coverage
shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC,
whichever is greater, with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer,
as the case may be, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be, were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties
for which it is responsible hereunder for FNMA or FHLMC. Coverage of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate
of such Person and providing the coverage required by this Section 8.5(c) shall
satisfy the requirements of this Section 8.5(c).
(d) All insurance coverage required to be maintained by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer under this Section 8.5 shall be obtained from Qualified
Insurers (A) whose claims-paying ability is rated (or the obligations of which
are guaranteed or backed by a company having such claims paying ability or
rating) at least "A" or its equivalent by the Rating Agencies (or if not rated
by Fitch, then no lower than "A" by S&P or "A-IX" by A.M. Best) or (B) who are
(as evidenced by the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation) otherwise acceptable
to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.6 ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS;
SUBORDINATE FINANCING.
(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
directly or indirectly of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the 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
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise (or, subject to Section 8.18(a), waive its right to exercise) any right
it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments
thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to any such sale or other transfer, in a
manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the
Mortgaged Property to be sold or transferred relates to a Mortgage Loan (I) (A)
that constitutes 2% or more of the Stated Principal Balance of all the Mortgage
Loans (taking into account for the purposes of such calculation, (a) in the case
of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, any
Mortgage Loan with which it is cross-collateralized and (b) in the case of
126
<PAGE>
any such Mortgage Loan with respect to which the related Mortgagor or its
affiliate is a Mortgagor with respect to one or more other Mortgage Loans, such
other Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans), or (B) that is one of the ten largest
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund (based on its then unpaid principal balance,
and calculated as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above), then any such sale or
transfer shall require Rating Agency Confirmation from Moody's, and (II) that is
one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund (based on its then
unpaid principal balance, and calculated as set forth in clauses (a) and (b)
above), then any such sale or transfer shall require Rating Agency Confirmation
from Fitch IBCA. In the event that the Special Servicer intends or is required,
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Mortgage Loan documents or
applicable law, to permit the transfer of any Mortgaged Property, the Special
Servicer, if consistent with the Servicing Standard, may enter into a
substitution of liability agreement, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
and any original guarantors are released from liability, and the transferee and
any new guarantors are substituted therefor and become liable under the Mortgage
Note and any related guaranties. In connection with any such transfer and
substitution, the Special Servicer may require from the related Mortgagor a
reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed by it,
together with reimbursement for any related costs and expenses incurred by it
(but only to the extent that charging such fee will not be a significant
modification of the Mortgage Loan for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and will
not result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool). The Special
Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer of any such
agreement and forward the original thereof to the Trustee for inclusion in the
related Mortgage File (with a copy to the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agencies). In connection with the Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Rating Agencies a memorandum outlining
its analysis and recommendation in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
together with copies of all relevant documentation.
(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
additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any
such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise (or, subject to Section 8.18(a)(ii), waive its right to exercise) any
right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such
additional lien or other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard; provided, however, that any such waiver shall require Rating Agency
Confirmation if such Mortgage Loan satisfies the criteria for requiring Rating
Agency Confirmation set forth in Section 8.6(a).
127
<PAGE>
(c) Nothing in this Section 8.6 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 additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such
Mortgaged Property.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 8.18, the Special Servicer
shall not agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan in
connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to
this Section 8.6.
(e) The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance of any Mortgage Loan
(x) on or before the earliest date on which defeasance is permitted under the
terms of such Mortgage Loan, or (y) to the extent inconsistent with the terms of
such Mortgage Loan. To the extent consistent with the terms and provisions of
the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer will not permit
defeasance of any Mortgage Loan unless (i) the defeasance collateral consists of
U.S. Treasury obligations, (ii) the Master Servicer has determined that the
defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (provided that the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on an Opinion of Counsel to that
effect), (iii) the Master Servicer has notified the Rating Agencies, (iv) the
Rating Agencies have confirmed that such defeasance will not result in the
qualification (if applicable), downgrade or withdrawal of the rating then
assigned to any Class of Certificates to which a rating has been assigned by
either Rating Agency, (v) the Master Servicer has requested and received from
the related Mortgagor (A) an Opinion of Counsel generally to the effect that the
Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in such
defeasance collateral and (B) written confirmation from a firm of Independent
accountants stating that payments made on such defeasance collateral in
accordance with the terms thereof will be sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage
Loan in full on or before its Stated Maturity Date and in accordance with the
Monthly Payment (or, in the case of an Anticipated Repayment Date Loan, on or
before its Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each Monthly Payment
scheduled to be due prior thereto but after the defeasance and (vi) a
single-purpose entity (as defined below) is designed to assume the Mortgage Loan
and own the defeasance collateral; provided, that, if under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgagor delivers cash to purchase
the defeasance collateral rather than the defeasance collateral itself, the
Master Servicer shall purchase the U.S. Treasury obligations contemplated by the
related Mortgage Loan documents. Subsequent to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date to the extent that the Master Servicer can in accordance with the
related Mortgage Loan documents require defeasance of any Mortgage Loan in lieu
of accepting a prepayment of principal thereunder, including a prepayment of
principal accompanied by a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, the
Master Servicer shall, to the extent it is consistent with the Servicing
Standard, require such defeasance, provided that the conditions set forth in
clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. Any
customary and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be paid by the Mortgagor of the defeased
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other pertinent
document, if so allowed by the terms of such documents, and otherwise such
expenses shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance. For purposes of this
paragraph, a "single-purpose entity" shall mean a Person, other than an
individual, whose organization documents provide as follows: it is formed solely
for the purpose
128
<PAGE>
of owning and operating a single property, assuming a Mortgage Loan and owing
and pledging Defeasance Collateral; it may not engage in any business unrelated
to such property and the financing thereof; it does not have and may not own any
assets other than those related to its interest in the property or the financing
thereof and may not incur any indebtedness other than as permitted by the
related Mortgage: it shall maintain its own books, records and accounts, in each
case which are separate and apart from the books, records and accounts of any
other person; it shall hold regular meetings, as appropriate, to conduct its
business, and shall observe all entity level formalities and record keeping; it
shall conduct business in its own name and use separate stationery, invoices and
checks; it may not guarantee or assume the debts or obligations of any other
person; it shall not commingle its assets or funds with those of any other
person; it shall pay its obligations and expenses from its own funds and
allocate and charge reasonably and fairly any common employees or overhead
shared with affiliates; it shall prepare separate tax returns and financial
statements or, if part of a consolidated group, shall be shown as a separate
member of such group; it shall transact business with affiliates on an arm's
length basis pursuant to written agreements; and it shall hold itself out as
being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person. The
single-purpose entity organizational documents shall provide that any
dissolution and winding up or insolvency filing for such entity requires the
unanimous consent of all partners or members, as applicable and that such
documents may not be amended with respect to the single-purpose entity
requirements during the term of the Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 8.7 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of the occurrence
of a Servicing Transfer Event in respect of any Mortgage Loan and, subject to
Section 8.18, the Special Servicer shall monitor such Mortgage Loan, evaluate
whether the causes of any default thereunder can be corrected over a reasonable
period without significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged
Property, initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Mortgagor if, in
the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith judgment, cure is likely, and
take such other actions as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in
the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith judgment, such corrective
action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for
collection of delinquent payments and no other alternative consistent with the
Servicing Standard can be negotiated, and the defaulted Mortgage Loan has not
been released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, then the
Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section
8.7, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO
Acquisition) the ownership of property securing such Mortgage Loan. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall each have the right but not the obligation to
expend its own funds as a Servicing Advance toward the restoration of such
property if it shall determine in its reasonable discretion (i) that such
restoration will increase, on a net present value basis, the net proceeds of
liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement
to itself for such Advances (together with Advance Interest), and (ii) that such
Advances (together with Advance Interest) will be recoverable by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of the proceeds of
liquidation of such Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 5.2. The
Special
129
<PAGE>
Servicer (or, at the direction of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer)
shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings, subject to its being entitled to reimbursement therefor as a
Servicing Advance as provided in Section 4.2 or Section 5.2, and further subject
to its being entitled to pay out of the related Liquidation Proceeds any
Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of any Mortgage Loan, which Liquidation
Expenses were outstanding at the time such proceeds are received. When
applicable state law permits the Special Servicer to select between judicial and
non-judicial foreclosure in respect of any Mortgaged Property, the Special
Servicer shall make such selection in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard. Nothing contained in this Section 8.7 shall be construed so as to
require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to make a bid on any
Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess
of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Special Servicer
in its sole judgment taking into account, among other things, the physical
condition of the Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy, the Trust's
obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the period specified in Section
8.19, and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all
such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and
when the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it necessary and prudent
for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property
securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at
foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer is authorized to have an
Appraisal performed with respect to such property (the cost of which Appraisal
shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant
to this Section 8.7 (with the exception of cash or cash equivalents pledged as
collateral for a Mortgage Loan) 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; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which may be withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.2) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the
Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund or any
REMIC Pool under the REMIC Provisions or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or
REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7, the
Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, complete foreclosure
proceedings, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged
Property, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if,
as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of 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 CERCLA or any comparable law, unless
(as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the
Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously received an Environmental
Assessment in respect of such Mortgaged Property prepared (within the prior
three-month period) by a Person who regularly
130
<PAGE>
conducts Environmental Assessments and the Special Servicer, based solely (as to
environmental matters and related costs) on the information set forth in such
Environmental Assessment, determines that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws or, if not, that acquiring such Mortgaged Property and
taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in
compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders on a net present value basis than not acquiring such
Mortgaged Property and not taking such actions; and
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at the
Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous
Materials for which investigations, testing, monitoring, containment,
clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental
laws and regulations or, if such circumstances or conditions are present for
which any such action could be required, that acquiring such Mortgaged
Property and taking such actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders on a
net present value basis than not acquiring such Mortgaged Property and not
taking such actions.
The cost of any such Environmental Assessment, as well as the cost of any
remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or
clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, may be withdrawn from the Collection
Account by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust pursuant to Section
5.2; and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer
shall, at the expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 5.2, perform such additional environmental testing as is
consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine whether the conditions
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding paragraph have been
satisfied. The costs of such testing shall be a Servicing Advance.
(d) If the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above
establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged
Property securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is
hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release all or a
portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer, the
Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Depositor and each Rating Agency, written
reports regarding any material actions taken by the Special Servicer with
respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which
the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that
either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence
thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of
satisfaction of both such conditions, removal of the related Mortgage Loan from
the Trust Fund and release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged
Property.
131
<PAGE>
(f) The Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and
the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, the information
required to be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or
foreclosed, and the information required to be reported regarding the discharge
of any debt. The Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with such
information and reports as the Master Servicer deems necessary to fulfill its
obligations under this Section 8.7(f) promptly upon the Master Servicer's
request therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to
the Trustee and the Special Servicer.
(g) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to
obtain a deficiency judgment if the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged
Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such an action.
(h) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a
Servicing Officer, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a
defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property and the basis thereof. Each Final
Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Trustee and the Master Servicer no later than 10 Business Days following
such Final Recovery Determination.
SECTION 8.8 TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full
shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will immediately notify the Trustee
and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request
shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.1 have been or will be so
deposited. Within five Business Days (or within such shorter period as release
can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the
Trustee shall release, or cause any related Custodian to release, the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, whichever
requested it. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may deliver to the
Trustee a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer thereof. Upon
receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the related
Custodian to deliver, the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such
Mortgage File or such document to the Trustee or the related Custodian, or the
delivery to the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.1 have been or will be so
deposited,
132
<PAGE>
or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan, the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Within five Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery
can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of
an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents 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
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall
be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When
submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be
accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying 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 related Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon
completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 8.9 DOCUMENTS, RECORDS AND FUNDS IN POSSESSION OF MASTER SERVICER
OR SPECIAL SERVICER TO BE HELD FOR TRUSTEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall each transmit to the Trustee, to the extent
required by this Agreement, all documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received
or otherwise collected thereby, including Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
All Mortgage Loan documents and funds collected or held by, or under the control
of, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans
and/or REO Properties, whether from the collection of principal and interest
payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds or otherwise, including any funds on deposit in the Collection Account,
shall be held by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loan documents or
any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account or any Lock-Box Account,
Reserve Account or Servicing Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may
become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan
documents or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan or
REO Property, except, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall be entitled to receive from any such funds any amounts that are
properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.10 SERVICING COMPENSATION.
133
<PAGE>
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, including without limitation each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and
each REO Mortgage Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan, including without limitation
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicing Fee shall accrue on the related Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan outstanding from time to time at the applicable Master Servicing
Fee Rate and shall be computed based on the Stated Principal Balance as of the
second preceding Distribution Date of such Mortgage Loan, and using the same day
count convention as the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicing Fee with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan shall cease to accrue if a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Master Servicing Fee shall be
payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each
Mortgage Loan, REO Income allocable as interest on each REO Mortgage Loan and
the interest portion of P&I Advances on each Mortgage Loan, including without
limitation each REO Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, including
without limitation each REO Mortgage Loan, out of that portion of related
Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Repurchase
Proceeds or payments of Substitution Shortfall Amounts allocable as recoveries
of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 5.2. The Master Servicer's right
to receive the Master 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Midland may at its option
assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable
Servicing Interest; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or
termination of Midland as Master Servicer hereunder, all or any portion of the
Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent
reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to
obtain a qualified successor Master Servicer (which successor may include the
Trustee) that meets the requirements of Section 9.2 and who requires market rate
servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Minimum
Master Servicing Fee Rate. The Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable
Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest (i.e.,
Midland or any such third party) at such time and to the extent the Master
Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Master Servicing Fees hereunder,
notwithstanding any resignation or termination of Midland hereunder.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to additional master servicing
compensation ("ADDITIONAL MASTER SERVICING COMPENSATION") in the form of:
(i) 50% of any assumption fees (other than in respect of Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans), 100% of any modification fees relating to
modifications made pursuant to Section 8.18(a)(i), 8.18(c) or 8.18(d) and 50%
of any other modification fees and extension fees relating to modifications
or extensions of Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, and all Penalty Charges collected on Mortgage Loans other than
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans, but only to the
extent (A) that such Penalty Charges are actually paid by the related
Mortgagor, (B) that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan have
134
<PAGE>
been paid, and (C) that such Penalty Charges are not needed to pay Advance
Interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan;
(ii) any Prepayment Interest Excesses collected on the Mortgage
Loans, including without limitation Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO
Mortgage Loans, but only to the extent that the aggregate of all such
Prepayment Interest Excesses collected during each Collection Period exceeds
the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred during such Collection Period;
(iii) any interest and other income earned on the investment of
funds in the Collection Account, but only to the extent not applied to offset
losses on other investments of funds in the Collection Account, and
(iv) any interest and other income earned on the investment of funds
in the Servicing Accounts, Reserve Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts maintained
by the Master Servicer, but only to the extent not required to be paid to
Mortgagors under applicable law or the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan
documents.
(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan. As to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicing Fee shall accrue on the related Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan outstanding from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate
and shall be computed based on the Stated Principal Balance as of the second
preceding Distribution Date of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Mortgage Loan, and using the same day count convention as the related Mortgage
Loan. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan and each REO Mortgage Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event
occurs in respect thereof. As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each
REO Mortgage Loan, earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees shall be payable
monthly out of general collections in the Collection Account.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected
Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be
payable from, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to,
each collection of interest and principal received on such Mortgage Loan for so
long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan (including scheduled payments,
prepayments, balloon payments and payments at maturity). The Workout Fee with
respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if a Servicing
Transfer Event occurs with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property
becomes an REO Property, provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if
and when such Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the
Special Servicer is terminated other than for cause or resigns in accordance
with Section 8.24, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees
payable in respect of Mortgage Loans that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during
the period that it acted as Special Servicer and were still such at the time of
such termination or resignation (and the successor special servicer shall not be
entitled to any portion of such
135
<PAGE>
Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be
payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which it receives any
full, partial or discounted payoff or any Liquidation Proceeds (other than in
connection with the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Property by any Person entitled to effect an optional termination of the Trust
pursuant to Section 10.01). The Liquidation Fee with respect to any such
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan will not be payable if such Mortgage Loan
becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no Liquidation Fee will be payable from, or based upon the receipt of,
Liquidation Proceeds collected as a result of any purchase of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property described in the parenthetical to the
first sentence of this paragraph.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to additional special servicing
compensation ("ADDITIONAL SPECIAL SERVICING COMPENSATION") in the form of 100%
of any modification fees, extension fees and assumption fees relating to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and, to the extent not otherwise applied to
pay Advance Interest as provided herein, Penalty Charges (to the extent accrued
during the period during which the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan), collected on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage
Loans, 50% of any assumption fees and application or processing fees collected
on Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, 50% of any
modification fees on Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans (other than modification fees relating to modifications made pursuant to
Section 8.18(a)(1), 8.18(c) and 8.18(d)), and 50% of any extension fees on
Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, but in each case
only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and to the extent that
all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have
been paid. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to investment income on
amounts held in the REO Account pursuant to Section 8.19.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be required to
pay out of its own funds all overhead and general and administrative expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including,
without limitation, payment of any amount due and owing to any Sub-Servicers
retained by it and the deductibles for any blanket policy obtained by it
insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 8.5(b)), if and to the extent
such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account, and
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall
be entitled to reimbursement except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 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 efforts consistent with the Servicing
Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to pay any fee required by the
applicable Rating Agency for such confirmation, and if the Mortgagor does not
pay such fee, then it shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing
Advance.

Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Special Servicer within 30 days
following each Master Servicer Remittance Date a statement setting forth the

aggregate of deposits of each type provided in Section 5.1 in, and the aggregate

beginning in April 2001, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (a) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year or
portion thereof and of the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement has been made under such

before April 30 of each year beginning April 30, 2001, the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a firm of Accountants to furnish a statement to the
Depositor, the Operating Adviser, the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer and
the Trustee to the effect that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer, which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum

America, with respect to the servicing of commercial and multifamily mortgage
loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation
is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other

rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of commercial and
multifamily mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of
independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations
conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of
such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers.
The Special Servicer will deliver to the Depositor, the Operating Adviser
(or if no Operating Adviser has been elected, the Majority Certificateholder of
the Controlling Class), the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Master Servicer
an annual accountants' report.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, to the extent applicable,
shall each, with 90 days' prior written notice, use reasonable efforts to cause
the applicable Accountants to cooperate with the Depositor in conforming any
reports delivered pursuant to this Section 8.13 to

rely upon, without investigation or inquiry, the information and reports

by the terms of the Mortgage Loans) a letter sent to the related Mortgagor
each quarter (followed up with telephone calls) requesting such annual
operating statements and rent rolls until they are received to the extent
such action is consistent with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage

Mortgaged Property constituting security for a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan). The Operating Statement Analysis report for each Mortgaged Property
(other than any such Mortgaged Property which is REO Property or constitutes
security for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) is to be updated by the Master
Servicer and such updated report delivered to the Trustee on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date which is no earlier than thirty days after receipt by the Master
Servicer of updated operating statements for such Mortgaged Property. On an
annual basis, the Master Servicer will use the "normalized" column from the NOI
Adjustment Worksheet to update the Operating Statement Analysis report and will
use any operating statements received with respect to any Mortgaged Property
(other than any such Mortgaged Property which is REO Property or constitutes
security for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) to update the Operating
Statement Analysis report for such Mortgaged Property, such updates to be
completed and copies thereof sent to the Trustee within thirty days after
receipt of the necessary information.
(e) No later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance

under this Agreement (without any expansion of such duties by reason hereof)
that (A) any tenant occupying 25% or more of the space in the related Mortgaged

or been the subject of bankruptcy or similar proceedings or (B) relate to a
borrower or an affiliate that is the subject of a bankruptcy or similar
proceeding, (iv) Mortgage Loans that are at least one full Collection Period
delinquent in payment, and (v) Mortgage Loans that are within 60 days of
maturity. Any such Servicer Watch List may include any disclaimers the Master
Servicer deems appropriate.
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 event that comes to their knowledge with
respect to a Mortgage Loan or REO Property that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, respectively, determines, in accordance with Servicing
Standards, 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.
(f) No later than 12:00 noon (Kansas City Time) on the first Business Day

case to the extent that such materials or the information on which they are
based have been received by the Special Servicer:

Property or REO Property as of the end of the preceding calendar year. The
Special Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts in accordance with the
140
<PAGE>
Servicing Standard to obtain such annual operating statements and rent rolls
with respect to each Mortgaged Property constituting security for a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Property, which efforts shall include a

Servicer of updated operating statements for each such Mortgaged Property. The
Special Servicer will use the "normalized" column from the NOI Adjustment
Worksheet to update the Operating Statement Analysis report and will use any
operating statements received with respect to any Mortgaged Property which
constitutes security for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or is an REO
Property to update the Operating Statement Analysis report for such Mortgaged
Property, such updates to be completed and copies thereof sent to the Master
Servicer within ten days after receipt of the necessary information.

not permitted by law or under any of the Mortgage Loan documents), the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each also afford the Rating Agencies,
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer, the
Underwriters, and the Operating Adviser, and the Majority
141
<PAGE>
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class upon reasonable notice and during
normal business hours, reasonable access to any and all additional relevant,
non-proprietary and non-attorney-client-privileged records and documentation in

and all accounts, insurance policies and other relevant matters relating to this
Agreement, and access to Servicing Officers of the Master Servicer or Special
Servicing Officers of the Special Servicer, as the case may be, responsible for
its obligations hereunder. Copies (or computer diskettes or other digital or
electronic copies of such information if reasonably available in lieu of paper
copies) of any and all of the foregoing items shall be made available by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, upon request;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each
be permitted to require payment by the requesting party (other than the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Underwriters or either Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, of providing access or copies (including
electronic or digital copies) of any such information requested in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer to confirm, represent or warrant the accuracy of (or to be
liable or responsible for) any other Person's information or report, included in
any communication from the other (unless the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer are the same Person) or from a Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability to the Depositor, the Trustee,
any Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner, the Underwriters, either Rating
Agency or any other Person to whom it delivers information pursuant to this
Section 8.15 or any other provision of this Agreement for federal, state or
other applicable securities law violations relating to the disclosure of such
information. In the event any Person brings any claims relating to or arising
from the foregoing against the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, the Trust (from amounts held in the Collection
Account from time to time) shall hold harmless and indemnify the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may
be, from any loss or expense (including attorneys' fees) relating to or arising
from such claims.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each produce the
reports required of it under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to produce any ad hoc
non-standard written reports with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In the event
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer elects to provide such reports, it
may require the Person requesting such report to pay a reasonable fee to cover
the costs of the preparation thereof. Requests for any such report shall be
made, and any such report shall be disseminated, through the Trustee.
(d) In connection with providing access to or copies of the items described
in the subsections (a), (b) and/or (c) of this Section 8.15 or in Section 8.16,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee may each require: (a)
in the case of Certificate Owners, a written confirmation executed by the
requesting Person, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a
beneficial holder of Certificates, is requesting the information solely for use
in evaluating such
142
<PAGE>
Person's investment in the Certificates and will otherwise keep such information
confidential pursuant to a confidentiality agreement; and (b) in the case of
Prospective Investors, a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person,
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the
case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a prospective purchaser
of a Certificate or an interest therein, is requesting the information solely
for use in evaluating a possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise
keep such information confidential pursuant to a confidentiality agreement.
(e) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each provide or
cause to be provided to the OTS, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking
or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access to any and all records and other
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund within its control
that may be required by this Agreement or by applicable law. Such access shall
be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, designated by it. Nothing in this Section
8.15(e) shall require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate, in
its judgment, any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with
respect to a Mortgagor, and the failure to provide access as a result of such
law shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The Master Servicer or
Special Servicer may require a requesting party to execute a reasonable
confidentiality agreement customary in the industry with respect to such
information.
(f) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each cooperate in
providing the Rating Agencies with such other pertinent information relating to
the Mortgage Loans as is (or is required to be) in their respective possession
as the Rating Agencies may reasonably request. Any Holder of a Privately Offered
Certificate may, upon request to the Trustee (which may be in the form of a
standing request for as long as such Holder remains a Holder of any such
Certificates), obtain a copy of any report or other information (to the extent
the Trustee has such report or other information in its possession) delivered to
the Rating Agencies under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.16 RULE 144A INFORMATION. For so long as any of the Certificates
are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities
Act, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees to provide to
the Trustee, which in turn shall provide to any Holder, Certificate Owner or
Prospective Investor of such Certificates, upon the request of such Holder,
Certificate Owner or Prospective Investor, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.16 and the provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section
8.15, any information prepared by or otherwise in the possession or under the
control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that
has not already been delivered to the Trustee and that is required to be
provided to such Holder, Certificate Owner or Prospective Investor to satisfy
the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, including,
without limitation, copies of the reports and information described in
subsection (a) of Section 8.15.
Any recipient of information provided pursuant to this Section 8.16 shall
agree that such information shall not be disclosed or used for any purpose other
than the evaluation of
143
<PAGE>
an investment in the Certificates. The Trustee shall be responsible for the
delivery of the information requested pursuant to this Section 8.16. As a
condition to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer making any report or
information available upon request to any Person other than one of the other
parties hereto, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
may require that the recipient of such information acknowledge that the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may contemporaneously
provide such information to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Underwriters and/or
the Certificateholders and Certificate Owners. The Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer will each be permitted to require payment of a sum by the
requesting party (other than the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Underwriters) sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of
making such information available.
SECTION 8.17 INSPECTIONS; COLLECTION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(a) The Master Servicer at its expense shall perform (or cause to be
performed) a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property (other than
Mortgaged Properties constituting REO Properties or collateral for Specially
Serviced Mortgaged Loans) at such times and in such manner as are consistent
with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every two years (or,
if the related Mortgage Loan has a current balance of more than $2,000,000, at
least once every year) provided that the Master Servicer will have no obligation
to inspect a Mortgaged Property required to be inspected by the Special Servicer
during such period. The Master Servicer shall promptly prepare (or cause to be
prepared) a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of
the Mortgaged Property and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the
Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection that the Master Servicer deems
material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property
evident from such inspection, (iii) any material adverse change in the condition
or value of the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection, or (iv) any
waste committed on the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection that the
Master Servicer deems material. The Master Servicer shall upon request deliver
to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor a
copy of each such written report (in hard copy or electronic format) of the
related inspection, and the Trustee shall upon written request deliver to the
Holders of the Privately Offered Certificates a copy of each such written report
within 15 days of receipt of such report from the Master Servicer.
(b) If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then
as soon as practicable (and in any event within 90 days thereafter) the Special
Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a physical inspection of each
Mortgaged Property constituting collateral for such Mortgage Loan (unless such
Mortgaged Property had been inspected within the prior six months), and the
Special Servicer shall thereafter inspect such Mortgaged Property at such times
and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard (but in any
event at least once per calendar year). The cost of such inspections of
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be a Servicing Advance. The Special
Servicer shall promptly prepare (or cause to be prepared) a written report of
each such inspection detailing the condition of the Mortgaged Property and
specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property evident
from such inspection that the Special Servicer deems material, (ii)
144
<PAGE>
any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property evident from such
inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged
Property evident from such inspection that the Special Servicer deems material,
or (iv) any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property evident from such
inspection. The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Operating Adviser and the Depositor a copy of each such written
report within 15 days of the related inspection, and the Trustee shall upon
written request deliver to the Holders of the Privately Offered Certificates a
copy of each such written report.
(c) The Master Servicer (or, in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, the Special Servicer) shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly
from each Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements and rent rolls of
the related Mortgaged Property, and financial statements of such Mortgagor, if
delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage. In addition, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain quarterly and annual operating statements and rent rolls with respect to
each REO Property. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, upon request,
each deliver copies of the collected items (in hard copy or electronic format)
to the other such party and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver copies of
such items to the Depositor and Holders of the Privately Offered Certificates
upon written request.
SECTION 8.18 MODIFICATIONS, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS, EXTENSIONS AND CONSENTS.
(a) Subject to the limitations of Section 12.4 hereof and the consent
rights of the Operating Adviser set forth herein, the Special Servicer and
Master Servicer, as applicable, shall have the following powers:
(i) The Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
may agree to any modification, waiver, amendment or consent of or relating to
any non-Money Term or may extend the maturity date of any Balloon Mortgage
Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date that is not
more than 60 days following the original Maturity Date and not later than two
years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date (or if secured by a ground
lease, not later than the date that is 10 years prior to the end of such
ground lease), if in the Special Servicer's sole judgment exercised in good
faith and in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate), a default in the payment of the Balloon Payment is
reasonably foreseeable and such extension is reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery on a net present value basis than liquidation of such
Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall process all such extensions and
shall be entitled to (as additional servicing compensation) 100% of any
extension fees collected from a Mortgagor with respect to any such extension.
(ii) The Master Servicer may modify or amend the terms of any
Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Special Servicer in order to (i)
cure any ambiguity therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions
therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or
correct any error, provided that such modification or amendment would not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. The Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Special Servicer of any such modification or
145
<PAGE>
amendment. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Master
Servicer shall not agree to any modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan
or any waiver or consent (other than immaterial waivers and consents made in
the ordinary course of business, and pursuant to Section 8.18(d)).
(iii) The Special Servicer may require, in its discretion, as a
condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent,
modification, waiver or amendment, that such Mortgagor pay to the Special
Servicer a reasonable and customary modification fee to the extent permitted
by law. The Special Servicer shall charge the Mortgagor for any costs and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Special Servicer in
connection with any request for a modification, waiver or amendment. The
failure or inability of the Mortgagor to pay any such costs and expenses
shall not impair the right of the Special Servicer to cause such costs and
expenses, and interest thereon at the Advance Rate, to be paid or reimbursed
by the Trust as a Servicing Advance (to the extent not paid by the
Mortgagor).
(iv) Each of the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, as
applicable, shall notify the Trustee of any modification, waiver or amendment
of any term of any Mortgage Loan permitted by it under this Section and the
date thereof, and shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the related
Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof
except to the extent such documents have been submitted to the applicable
recording office, in which event the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer,
as applicable, shall promptly deliver copies of such documents to the
Trustee. Upon request, the Trustee shall deliver copies of such documents to
the Holders of the Privately Offered Certificates within 15 days of receipt
by the Trustee thereof.
(b) Subject to the limitation of Section 12.4 hereof and the consent rights
of the Operating Adviser set forth herein, the Special Servicer, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, shall have the following additional powers:
(i) The Special Servicer may enter into a modification, waiver or
amendment (including, without limitation, the substitution or release of
collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including any modification, waiver or
amendment to (a) reduce the amounts owing under any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued interest or any Yield
Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (b) reduce the amount of the
Monthly Payment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including by way of
a reduction in the related Mortgage Rate, (c) forebear in the enforcement of
any right granted under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, (d) extend the Maturity Date of any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or (e) accept a principal prepayment on any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan during any period during which voluntary
Principal Prepayments are prohibited, provided that (1) the related Mortgagor
is in default with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the
judgment of the Special Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, (2)
in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer such modification would
increase the
146
<PAGE>
recovery on the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders on a net present value
basis (the relevant discounting of amounts that will be distributable to
Certificateholders to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) and (3) such
modification, waiver or amendment would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to
occur.
In no event shall the Special Servicer (i) extend the Maturity Date of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond the date that is the earlier of (a) five
years from the date of such modification, and (b) two years prior to the Rated
Final Distribution Date; (ii) if the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured
by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan beyond a date that is 10 years prior to the expiration of the term of such
ground lease; (iii) reduce the Mortgage Rate of a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan to a rate below the then-prevailing interest rate for comparable loans at
the time of such modification, as determined by the Special Servicer, for a
period exceeding 36 months from the date of such modification, provided that the
Special Servicer shall thereafter be permitted to so reduce the Mortgage Rate
for successive 12-month periods if the Operating Adviser consents thereto in
writing; or (iv) defer interest due on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in
excess of 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or defer the collection of interest on any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan without accruing interest on such deferred interest at a rate at
least equal to the Mortgage Rate of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is a Balloon Loan that
has failed to make the Balloon Payment at its scheduled maturity, and such
Balloon Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than by reason of
failure to make the Balloon Payment) and has not been delinquent in the
preceding 12 months (other than with respect to the Balloon Payment), then in
addition to the other alternatives specified above, the Special Servicer may
make up to three one-year extensions at the existing Mortgage Rate for such
Mortgage Loan; provided that in no event shall any such extension extend beyond
the date that is two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date (or if
secured by a ground lease, not later than the date that is 10 years prior to the
expiration of such ground lease). The Special Servicer shall process all
extensions and shall be entitled as additional compensation to 100% of any
extension fees collected from a Mortgagor with respect to such extension.
The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (2) of the
proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 8.18(b)(i) and clause (ii) of the
second paragraph of this Section 8.18(b)(i) shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer and
describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Special Servicer's
determination. The Special Servicer shall append to such Officer's Certificate
any information, including but not limited to income and expense statements,
rent rolls, property inspection reports and appraisals, that support such
determination.
(ii) In the event the Special Servicer intends to permit a Mortgagor
to substitute collateral for all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property
pursuant to Section 8.18(b)(i) or pledge additional collateral for the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 8.18(b)(i), if the security interest of the
Trust in such collateral would be perfected by possession, or if such
collateral requires special care or protection, then prior to agreeing to
such substitution or addition of collateral, the Special Servicer shall make
147
<PAGE>
arrangements for such possession, care or protection, and prior to agreeing
to such substitution or addition of collateral (or such arrangement for
possession, care or protection) shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Trustee with respect thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that any such
substitution or addition of collateral shall require Rating Agency
Confirmation; and provided further, that the Trustee shall not be required
(but has the option) to consent to any substitution or addition of collateral
or to hold any such collateral which will require the Trustee to undertake
any additional duties or obligations or incur any additional expense. In the
event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer intends to permit a
Mortgagor to release any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
related Mortgage, then prior to agreeing to such release, but subject to its
compliance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer shall require Rating Agency Confirmation and
otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 12.1(i) hereto.
(iii) The Special Servicer will promptly deliver to the Master
Servicer, the Operating Adviser (or if no Operating Adviser has been elected,
the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class), the Rating Agencies
and the Trustee a notice, specifying any such modifications, waivers or
amendments, such notice identifying the affected Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan. Such notice shall be delivered to the Trustee and shall set forth the
reasons for such waiver, modification, or amendment (including, but not
limited to, information such as related income and expense statements, rent
rolls, occupancy status, property inspections, and an internal or external
appraisal performed in accordance with MAI standards and methodologies (and,
if done externally, the cost of such appraisal shall be recoverable as a
Servicing Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof)). The
Special Servicer shall also deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian), for
deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the
agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment promptly
following the execution thereof.
(iv) No fee described in this Section shall be collected by the
Special Servicer from the Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in
conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of the
Mortgage Loan if the collection of such fee would cause such consent,
modification, waiver or amendment to be a "significant modification" of the
Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulationss. 1.860G-2(b).
Subject to the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable
efforts, to collect any modification fees and other expenses connected with a
permitted modification of a Mortgage Loan from the Mortgagor. The inability
of the Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses of a proposed modification
shall not impair the right of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee to be reimbursed by the Trust for such expenses (including any
cost and expense associated with the Opinion of Counsel referred to in this
Section).
(v) Reserved.
148
<PAGE>
(vi) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special
Servicer shall not be permitted to take or refrain from taking any action
pursuant to instructions from the Operating Adviser that would cause it to
violate any term or provision of this Agreement, including the REMIC
Provisions and the Servicing Standard.
(c) The Master Servicer (after consultation with the Special Servicer) or
Special Servicer 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 Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that (i) 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 (ii) waiver of the right to such accrued Excess Interest is
reasonably likely to produce a greater payment in the aggregate to
Certificateholders on a net present value basis than a refusal to waive the
right to such Excess Interest. Any such waiver shall not be effective until such
prepayment is tendered.
(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.18, for any
Mortgage Loan other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall be responsible for any request by a Mortgagor for the consent of the
mortgagee for a modification, waiver or amendment of any term with respect to:
(i) Approving routine leasing activity (including any subordination,
standstill and attornment agreements) with respect to leases for
less than the lesser of (a) 30,000 square feet and (b) 20% of the
related Mortgaged Property;
(ii) Approving a change of the property manager at the request of the
related Mortgagor; provided that the successor property manager is
not affiliated with the Mortgagor and is nationally or regionally
recognized manager of similar properties;
(iii) Approving any waiver affecting the timing of receipt of financial
statements from any Mortgagor, provided that such financial
statements are delivered no less than quarterly and within 60 days
of the end of the calendar quarter;
(iv) Approving annual budgets for the related Mortgaged Property,
provided that no such budget (1) provides for the payment of
operating expenses in an amount equal to more than 110% of the
amounts budgeted therefor for the prior year or (2) provides for the
payment of any material expenses to any affiliate of the Mortgagor
(other than the payment of a management fee to any property manager
if such management fee is no more than the management fee in effect
on the Cut-off Date); and
149
<PAGE>
(v) Subject to other restrictions in this Agreement regarding Principal
Prepayments, waiving any provision of a Mortgage Loan requiring a
specified number of days' notice prior to a Principal Prepayment.
(e) With respect to the Anticipated Repayment Date Loans secured by the
Mortgaged Properties listed on Schedule VI hereto, the Master Servicer agrees
that it shall not enforce against the Mortgagor any right under the related
Mortgage Loan documents to payment of interest thereon at a rate in excess of
200 basis points above the related initial Mortgage Rate.
SECTION 8.19 TITLE TO REO PROPERTY.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall in
accordance with Section 8.31 attempt to sell any REO Property for cash by the
close of the third taxable year of the REMIC following the taxable year in which
the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code (such date, the "REO SALE DEADLINE"), unless the Special
Servicer either (i) applies for, more than 60 days prior to the REO Sale
Deadline, and is subsequently granted an extension of time (an "REO EXTENSION")
by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property, or (ii) obtains for
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Special
Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to the REO Sale Deadline will not result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. If the
Special Servicer is granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the
immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall
attempt to sell such REO Property within such period beyond the REO Sale
Deadline as is permitted by such REO Extension or is contemplated by such
Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special
Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by
clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be
an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.2.
(b) 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 "LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Trustee for the Holders of Heller Financial Commercial Mortgage Asset Corp.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000 PH-1, 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. The Special
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one
Business Day after receipt all REO Income, and shall withdraw therefrom funds
necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property, including:
150
<PAGE>
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, protect, manage,
operate, repair, sell or restore such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the related REO Account are
insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) - (iv) above with respect
to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (at the direction of the Special
Servicer) shall advance from its own funds as a Servicing Advance such amount as
is necessary for such purposes unless such advances would, if made, constitute
Nonrecoverable Advances.
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 one
Business Day after the Determination Date the REO Income received or collected
from each REO Property (net of expenses), except that in determining the amount
of such REO Income, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account
reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements
and other related expenses.
(c) Funds in the REO Account may be invested and, if invested, shall be
invested by, and at the risk of, the Special Servicer in Eligible Investments
selected by the Special Servicer which shall mature, unless payable on demand,
not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the day such funds are
required to be withdrawn, and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity unless payable on demand. All such Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of Orix Real Estate Capital Markets, LLC,
as Special Servicer, in trust for LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee
for the Holders of the Heller Financial Commercial Mortgage Asset Corp.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000 PH-1, REO Account." None of the
Depositor, the Mortgagors, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable
for any loss incurred on such Eligible Investments.
An amount equal to all income and gain realized from any such investment
(to the extent not needed to offset losses from other investments) shall be paid
to the Special Servicer as Additional Special Servicing Compensation and shall
be subject to its withdrawal at any time from time to time. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of
the Special Servicer which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent
not offset by income from other investments) in the REO Account out of its own
funds no later than the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date.
Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any default
occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or if a
default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible Investment,
the Trustee or the Special Servicer may take
151
<PAGE>
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings; provided,
however, that if the Special Servicer shall have deposited in the REO Account an
amount equal to all amounts due under any such Eligible Investment (net of
anticipated income or earnings thereon that would have been payable to the
Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation), the Special Servicer
shall have the sole right to enforce such payment or performance.
SECTION 8.20 MANAGEMENT OF REO PROPERTY.
(a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a
defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such
Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived
from such property if it were acquired by the Trust. If the Special Servicer
determines from such review, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that:
(i) none of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged
Property would be subject to tax as "net income from foreclosure property"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or would be subject to the tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F of the Code (either
such tax referred to herein as an "REO TAX"), then such Mortgaged Property
may be Directly Operated by the Special Servicer as REO Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as REO Property
could result in income from such Mortgaged Property that would be subject to
an REO Tax, but that a lease of such Mortgaged Property to another party to
operate such Mortgaged Property, or the performance of some services by an
Independent Contractor with respect to such Mortgaged Property, or another
method of operating such Mortgaged Property would not result in income
subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (provided that, in the
good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, it is
commercially feasible) acquire such Mortgaged Property as REO Property and so
lease or operate such REO Property; or
(iii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as REO Property
could result in income subject to an REO Tax and, in the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, that no commercially feasible
means exists to operate such Mortgaged Property as REO Property without the
Trust incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such
Mortgaged Property, then the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee,
in writing, a proposed plan (the "PROPOSED PLAN") to manage such Mortgaged
Property as REO Property. Such plan shall include potential sources of
income, and to the extent commercially feasible, estimates of the amount of
income from each such source. Within three Business Days after receipt of
such plan, the Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall,
within a reasonable time thereafter, advise the Special Servicer of the
Trust's federal income tax reporting position with respect to the various
sources of income that the Trust would derive under the Proposed Plan. In
addition, the Trustee shall (to the maximum extent possible) advise the
Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the Trust would be
required to pay
152
<PAGE>
with respect to each such source of income. After receiving the information
described in the two preceding sentences from the Trustee, the Special Servicer
shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective
Mortgaged Property as REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such REO Property
in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income
derived from such REO Property.
The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be
managed and operated shall in any event be based on the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, as to which means would (to the extent commercially feasible) maximize
the net after-tax REO Income received by the Trust with respect to such REO
Property without materially and adversely affecting the Special Servicer's
ability to sell such REO Property in accordance with this Agreement. Both the
Special Servicer and the Trustee may consult with counsel knowledgeable in such
matters at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with determinations
required under this Section 8.20(a). Neither the Special Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trust, the other parties
hereto or each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the reasonable
exercise of their discretion while performing their respective responsibilities
under this Section 8.20(a) or, to the extent it relates to federal income tax
consequences for the Trust, Section 8.20(b) below. Nothing in this Section
8.20(a) is intended to prevent the sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 8.31.
(b) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer or an
Independent Contractor chosen by the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate such REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders
solely for the purpose of its disposition and sale in a manner that does not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust
of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Special Servicer shall not enter into
any lease, contract or other agreement that causes REMIC I to receive, and
(unless required to do so under any lease, contact or agreement to which the
Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or a successor to a party due
to a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar exercise of a
creditor's rights or remedies with respect to a Mortgage Loan) shall not cause
or allow REMIC I to receive, any "net income from foreclosure property" that is
subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Subject to the foregoing,
however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and
all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as
determined by the Special Servicer in its good faith and reasonable judgment).
(c) The Special Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) The terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's length;
153
<PAGE>
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an
expense of the Trust, payable out of related REO Income) shall be reasonable
and customary in light of the nature and locality of the REO Property;
(iii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (b) of
this Section 8.20 and (B) remit all related REO Income collected (net of its
fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 8.20(c) 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 hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any
such REO Property; and
(v) 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.
SECTION 8.21 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE MASTER SERVICER.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver to the
other and to the Trustee (for inclusion in the Mortgage File) copies of all
Appraisals, environmental reports and engineering reports (or, in each case,
updates thereof) obtained with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO
Property.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of
reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess, if any,
of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls over all Prepayment Interest Excesses, in
each case resulting from Principal Prepayments received in respect of the
Mortgage Pool during the most recently ended Collection Period, and (ii) that
portion of the aggregate Master Servicing Fees received by the Master Servicer
during such Collection Period calculated in respect of all Mortgage Loans at a
rate of 0.01% per annum; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, the foregoing rate calculated in clause (ii) above shall be
calculated at the Master Servicing Fee Rate in respect of any Prepayment
Interest Shortfall created by the Master Servicer's failure to enforce any
provision in the Mortgage Loan documents that requires any voluntary prepayment
to be made only on the applicable Due Date.

SECTION 8.22 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE MASTER
SERVICER AND THE SPECIAL SERVICER.
(a)
(i) The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer
hereunder, hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for its own benefit
and the benefit of the Certificateholders, and to the Depositor, as of the
Closing Date, that:
(A) the Master Servicer is a corporation, duly organized and
validly existing, and is in compliance with the laws of each State in which
any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, except where the failure to so qualify or
comply would not materially adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability
to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement;
(B) the Master Servicer has the full power and authority to
execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all
transactions and obligations of the Master Servicer contemplated by this
Agreement. The Master Servicer has duly and validly authorized the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and this Agreement,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other
parties hereto, evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Master
Servicer enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with its
terms subject, as to enforcement of remedies, (A) to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws

which would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement;

Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated or to which the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has transferred all or substantially all
of its servicing assets, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion,
other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto; provided, that Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been

SECTION 8.24 RESIGNATION OF MASTER SERVICER OR SPECIAL SERVICER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.24(b) or 8.25 hereof, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it, unless there is a determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material
conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it
(the other activities so causing such conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by it at the date of this Agreement). Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer designated
by the Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall have assumed the Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement and Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been
obtained.
158
<PAGE>
Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, to the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each resign from the
obligations and duties imposed on it, upon 30 days notice to the Trustee,
provided that (i) a successor servicer (x) is available, (y) has assets of at
least $15,000,000 and (z) is willing to assume the obligations,
responsibilities, and covenants to be performed hereunder by the resigning party
on substantially the same terms and conditions, and for not more than equivalent
compensation, to that herein provided; (ii) the resigning party bears all costs
associated with its resignation and the transfer of servicing; and (iii) Rating
Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to such servicing transfer, as
evidenced by a letter delivered to the Trustee by each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.25 ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY MASTER SERVICER OR THE
SPECIAL SERVICER. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have
the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee to assign and
delegate all of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, gives the Depositor and
the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii) such purchaser or
transferee accepting such assignment and delegation executes and delivers to the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such assignment, which contains
an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement; (iii) a Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained with
respect to such assignment and delegation; and (iv) notice of the assignment and
delegation is given to the Trustee and the Depositor, it being understood that
the delegations existing as of the Closing Date shall be deemed satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Depositor. In the case of any such assignment and delegation
in accordance with the requirements of this Section, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be released from its obligations
under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations
incurred by it as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment set
forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the above, each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer may appoint Sub-Servicers in accordance with
Section 8.4 hereof, provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
remains fully liable for their actions, agents or independent contractors
appointed or retained to perform select duties thereof.
SECTION 8.26 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF MASTER SERVICER, SPECIAL SERVICER
AND OTHERS.
(a) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability
to the holders of the Certificates, the Trust or any other party for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith or for
errors in reasonable judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such Person against any breach
of a representation or warranty contained herein or any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in its performance of duties under this
159
<PAGE>
Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties
under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may reasonably
deem necessary or desirable in order to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee in the Mortgage Loans for which it is
responsible hereunder or otherwise under this Agreement. In such event, all
legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the
Trust, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor as Servicing Advances as provided by Section
5.2.
(b) In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall
have any liability with respect to, and each shall be entitled to conclusively
rely as to the truth of the statements made and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein on, any certificates or opinions furnished to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement. Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master
and the Special Servicer each shall have the right to rely on information
provided to it by the other (unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
are the same party) and by the Mortgagors, and will have no duty to investigate
or verify the accuracy thereof.
(c) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated
to incur any liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses that relate to
or arise from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the
Depositor, the Fiscal Agent or Trustee in this Agreement.
SECTION 8.27 INDEMNIFICATION; THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each of their respective
directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any
other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any
legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any asset of the
Trust Fund (including, without limitation, those arising from the distribution
of reports and information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), other than
any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by such
Person pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) that constitutes a Servicing Advance
(and is otherwise specifically reimbursable hereunder); (iii) that was incurred
in connection with claims against such party resulting from (A) any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant made herein by such party, (B) willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties
hereunder by such party, or from negligent disregard of such obligations or
duties, or (C) any violation by such party of any state or federal securities
law. The Trustee or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Collection
Account any payments certified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to
the Trustee as required to be made to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section
160
<PAGE>
8.27(a). The indemnification provided herein shall survive the resignation or
termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer (if different than the Master Servicer), the
Depositor, and any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent
thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs,
liabilities, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a
result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
any of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent
disregard of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder (unless such
claim, loss, penalty, fine, forfeiture, legal fee and related cost or judgment
results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of such
indemnified party). Each of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Special Servicer (if
different than the Master Servicer) and the Fiscal Agent shall immediately
notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to
this Agreement, the Certificates or any asset of the Trust Fund entitling the
Trust, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Fiscal Agent, as
the case may be, to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Master Servicer
shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel
fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree that may be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify
the Master Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trust, the Trustee, the
Depositor, Special Servicer or the Fiscal Agent may have to indemnification
under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer's defense of such
claim is materially prejudiced thereby and the Master Servicer delivers a
certification explaining the prejudice. The indemnification provided herein
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or
termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent.
(c) The Special Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer (if different than the Special Servicer), the
Depositor, and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, and hold them
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain arising from or as a result of the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Special Servicer's duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the
Special Servicer's obligations and duties hereunder by the Special Servicer
(unless such claim, loss, penalty, fine, forfeiture, legal fee and related cost
or judgment results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of
such indemnified party). Each of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master
Servicer (if different than the Special Servicer) and the Depositor shall
immediately notify the Special Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to this Agreement, the Certificates or any asset of the Trust Fund
entitling the Trust or the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the
Special Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer or
the Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
161
<PAGE>
judgment or decree that may be entered against it or them in respect of such
claim. Any failure to so notify the Special Servicer shall not affect any rights
the Trust, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer or the Depositor
may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the
Special Servicer's defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The
indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or termination of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent.
SECTION 8.28 TAX REPORTING. From and after the Closing Date, the Special
Servicer shall comply with the Mortgagor tax reporting requirements imposed by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code and any similar tax reporting
obligations under State law with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan. The Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer copies of any
such reports. The Master Servicer shall forward such reports to the Trustee.
SECTION 8.29 CERTAIN SPECIAL SERVICER REPORTS.
(a) The Special Servicer will also deliver any additional reports as may be
reasonably agreed upon by the Operating Adviser and the Special Servicer for a
reasonable fee payable by the Operating Adviser.
(b) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a
Servicing Officer, of each Final Recovery Determination with respect to any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery
Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Operating Adviser (or if no Operating
Adviser has been elected, the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling
Class) no later than the tenth Business Day following such Final Recovery
Determination.
(c) In addition, no later than 30 days after a Servicing Transfer Event for
a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, each
Rating Agency and the Operating Adviser (or if no Operating Adviser has been
elected, the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class) a report (the
"ASSET STATUS REPORT") with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related
Mortgaged Property. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following
information to the extent reasonably determinable:
(i) summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
and any negotiations with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations
reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid, and
to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the
related Mortgage Loan, and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;
(iii) the most current rent roll and income or operating statement
available for the related Mortgaged Property;
162
<PAGE>
(iv) the Special Servicer's recommendations as to how such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan might be returned to the Master Servicer for regular
servicing or otherwise realized upon;
(v) upon receipt of an Appraisal, the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property together with the assumptions used in the calculation
thereof; and
(vi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant
in light of the Servicing Standard.
(d) If the Operating Advisor disapproves of an Asset Status Report, the
Operating Advisor shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such Asset
Status Report, provide notice in writing to the Special Servicer of such
disapproval, and the Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 8.29(e), revise
such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor, the Rating
Agencies and the Master Servicer a new Asset Status Report as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval.
If the Operating Advisor does not disapprove of an Asset Status Report within
such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer shall implement the
recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report (provided that the
Special Servicer shall not take any action that is contrary to applicable law or
the terms of the applicable loan documents). The Special Servicer shall, subject
to Section 8.29(e), revise such Asset Status Report as provided above in this
paragraph until the earliest of (a) the failure of the Operating Advisor to
disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business
Days of its receipt thereof; (b) a determination by the Special Servicer as set
forth below or (c) the passage of ninety (90) days from the date of preparation
of the first Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may, from time to time,
subject to Section 8.29(e), modify any Asset Status Report it has previously
delivered and implement the new action in such revised report so long as such
revised report has been prepared, reviewed and not rejected as provided above.
Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, the Special Servicer may: (i)
following the occurrence of an extraordinary event, take any action set forth in
an Asset Status Report before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period
during which the Operating Advisor may reject such report if (A) the Special
Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and (B)
it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor; and (ii)
determine whether any affirmative disapproval of an Asset Status Report is not
in the best interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing
Standard. Upon making any such determination referred to in clause (ii) of the
prior sentence, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such
determination and deliver to the Trustee a proposed notice to Certificateholders
which is to include a copy of the relevant Asset Status Report. The Trustee
shall thereupon send such notice to all Certificateholders; and, if the Holders
of Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights fail, within ten
(10) Business Days of the Trustee's sending such notice, to reject such Asset
Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the same. If the Asset
Status Report is rejected within such ten (10) Business Day period by the
Holders of Certificates representing a majority of the Voting Rights, the
Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 8.29(e), revise such
163
<PAGE>
Asset Status Report as described above. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
providing such notices.
The Special Servicer may not take any action inconsistent with an Asset
Status Report that has been adopted as described above, unless such action would
be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any action recommended
by the Special Servicer in an Asset Status Report (or any revision thereof)
shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and the Operating Advisor may
not direct the Special Servicer to act in any manner (and the Special Servicer
shall disregard any such direction) that would:
(i) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, applicable law or any provision of this
Agreement, including the Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with
the Servicing Standard; or
(ii) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool
or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the grantor trust created
hereunder; or
(iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor, any Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee or their Affiliates,
officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability; or
(iv) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer's, the
Master Servicer's or the Trustee's responsibilities under this Agreement.
In addition, the Special Servicer shall not have any obligation to consult
with or notify any Operating Advisor prior to acting, and the provisions of this
Agreement requiring such shall be of no effect, during the period prior to the
initial selection of a Operating Advisor and, if any Operating Advisor resigns
or is removed, during the period following such resignation or removal until a
replacement is selected.
SECTION 8.30 QUALIFICATION TO SERVICE. The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each keep in full force and effect such qualifications to do
business and any necessary licenses as are necessary to perform its duties under
this Agreement.
SECTION 8.31 SALE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS AND REO PROPERTIES.
(a) The Special Servicer may offer to sell for cash to any Person any REO
Property or Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In the case of REO Property, the Special
Servicer shall offer to sell such REO Property no later than the time determined
by the Special Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO
Property on or prior to the date specified in Section 8.19(a), and in any event
prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. The Special Servicer shall give the
Operating Adviser and the Trustee not less than five days' prior written notice
of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and
in respect of such sale, the Special Servicer shall offer such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property for sale in a fair
164
<PAGE>
auction or other manner as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and shall
accept the highest cash bid received in such auction or other procedure from any
Person other than an Interested Person for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property in an amount, except as otherwise provided in this Section, at least
equal to the Purchase Price therefor.
In the absence of a bid in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price
(after deducting allocable expenses), the Special Servicer shall accept the
highest cash bid received from any Person other than any Interested Person or
the Trustee in its individual capacity, unless the Special Servicer has received
other bids, the Interested Party's bid is the highest bid, and the Special
Servicer (in consultation with the Trustee) determines that acceptance of such
bid is in the best interest of the Certificateholders.
The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing
paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest cash bid if the Special Servicer
determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such
bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In addition, the
Special Servicer may accept a lower bid (including a bid lower than the Purchase
Price) if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that
acceptance of such bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders
(for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower bid is more likely to
perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making
the lower bid are more favorable), provided that if any Defaulted Mortgage Loan
or REO Property as to which an Appraisal Reduction has occurred is to be sold by
the Special Servicer, then the Special Servicer shall not, without the approval
of the Operating Adviser, if any, accept any bid for such loan or property that
is less than 90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (based
on the Appraisal or internal evaluation used in determining the related
Appraisal Reduction). The Special Servicer shall determine no later than six
months prior to the end of the REO Sale Deadline with respect to any REO
Property whether a sale of such REO Property pursuant to any bids being made
with respect thereto is in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders
as a whole. If the Special Servicer so determines in accordance with the
Servicing Standard that such a sale would not be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, the Special Servicer shall seek an extension of such period
in the manner described in Section 8.19.
(b) Subject to the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall act on
behalf of the Trust in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or
appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be
without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Trust, except for
warranties in a deed and other normal and customary representations and
warranties given in connection with the sale of mortgage loans and real estate.
None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Fiscal
Agent or the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any
Certificateholder with respect to the price at which a Defaulted Mortgage Loan
is sold if the sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
165
<PAGE>
(c) The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale
incurred in connection therewith shall be deposited within one Business Day in
the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall
not be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to
instructions from (or which require the approval of) the Operating Adviser that
would cause it to violate any term or provision of this Agreement, the REMIC
Provisions or the Servicing Standard.
SECTION 8.32 OPERATING ADVISER; ELECTIONS.
(a) In accordance with Section 8.32(c), the Holders of Certificates
representing more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling
Class shall be entitled to elect an operating adviser (the "OPERATING ADVISER")
with the powers set forth in Section 8.33. An election of an Operating Adviser
may also be held upon the resignation or removal of any Person acting as
Operating Adviser. The initial Operating Adviser shall be Allied Capital
Corporation.
(b) At the request of the Holders of Certificates representing at least 50%
of the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall call
a meeting of the Holders of the Controlling Class for purpose of electing an
Operating Adviser. Notice of the meeting shall be mailed or delivered by the
Trustee to each Holder of Certificates of the Controlling Class not less than 10
nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. The notice shall state the place and
the time of the meeting, which may be held by telephone. Holders of Certificates
representing a majority of the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class,
present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the
nomination of an Operating Adviser. At the meeting, each Holder shall be
entitled to nominate one Person to act as Operating Adviser. The Trustee shall
cause the election of the Operating Adviser to be held as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practicable.
(c) Each Holder of Certificates of the Controlling Class shall be entitled
to vote in each election of the Operating Adviser. The voting in each election
of the Operating Adviser shall be in writing mailed, telecopied, delivered or
sent by courier and actually received by the Trustee on or prior to the date of
such election. Immediately upon receipt by the Trustee of votes (which have not
been rescinded) from the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of
the Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class which are cast for a single
Person, such Person shall be, upon such Person's acceptance, the Operating
Adviser. The Trustee shall act as judge of each election and, absent manifest
error, the determination of the results of any election by the Trustee shall be
conclusive. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 8.32, the
Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
election.
(d) The Operating Adviser may be removed at any time by the written vote,
copies of which must be delivered to the Trustee, of the Holders of the
Certificates representing more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance of the
Controlling Class.

<PAGE>
(e) For purposes of electing or removing an Operating Adviser, Certificates
of the Controlling Class held by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer or by any Affiliate of any of them shall be taken into account
with the same force and effect as if any other Person held such Certificates.
(f) The Operating Advisor will have no liability to 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 the Operating Advisor will not be protected against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations or duties. Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its
acceptance of its Certificates, that the Operating Advisor may have special
relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more
Classes of Certificates, that the Operating Advisor may act solely in the
interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Operating Advisor
does not have any duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than
the Controlling Class, that the Operating Advisor may take actions that favor
interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the
Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates, that the Operating Advisor
shall not be deemed to have been negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad
faith or engaged in willful misfeasance, by reason of its having acted solely in
the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Operating
Advisor shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no
Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Operating Advisor
or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so
acted.
SECTION 8.33 DUTIES OF OPERATING ADVISER.
(a) The Operating Adviser will be entitled to advise the Special Servicer
with respect to the following actions of the Special Servicer, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary except as necessary or advisable
to avoid an Adverse REMIC Event and except as set forth in, and in any event
subject to, the second paragraph of this Section 8.33, the Special Servicer will
not be permitted to take any of the following actions as to which the Operating
Adviser has objected in writing within ten Business Days of being notified
thereof (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the
Special Servicer within such ten Business Day period, then the Operating
Adviser's approval will be deemed to have been given), provided, however, if the
Operating Adviser and the Special Servicer cannot agree on a course of action
within 60 days of the occurrence of the event under discussion, the Special
Servicer shall implement its proposed course of action:
(i) any foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include
acquisition of an REO Property) of the ownership of properties securing such
of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default;
(ii) any modification or waiver of a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan
(or any other material term of any Mortgage Loan);

Mortgage Loan;
(vi) any waiver of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause; and
(2) any waiver of a "due-on-sale" clause, including any acceptance of an
assumption agreement releasing a borrower from liability under a Mortgage Loan.
In addition, the Operating Adviser may direct the Special Servicer to take,
or to refrain from taking, such other actions as the Operating Adviser may deem
advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary no such direction, and no
objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph, may require or cause the
Special Servicer to violate any provision of this Agreement or the REMIC
Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer's obligation to
act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially
expand the scope of the Special Servicer's responsibilities hereunder.
(b) The Operating Adviser, if any, may direct the Trustee to remove the
Special Servicer, at any time effective upon the appointment and written
acceptance of such appointment by a successor to the Special Servicer appointed
by the Operating Adviser; provided that, prior to the effectiveness of any such
appointment the Operating Adviser and the Trustee shall have received: (i)
Rating Agency Confirmation; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or Trust) to the effect that this Agreement shall be
enforceable against the designated successor in accordance with its terms. Any
costs related to such removal shall be at the expense of the Operating Adviser.
The existing Special Servicer shall be deemed to have resigned simultaneously
with such designated successor's becoming the Special Servicer hereunder;
provided, however, that (i) the resigning Special Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on
or prior to the effective date of such resignation, whether in respect of
Servicing Advances or otherwise, and (ii) it and its directors, officers,
employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
8.26 and 8.27, notwithstanding any such resignation. Such resigning Special
Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and the replacement Special Servicer
in effecting the termination of the resigning Special Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer within two Business Days to the replacement Special Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been deposited in the Collection Account or delivered by the Special
Servicer to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Exchange Commission, any and all reports, statements and information, including,
without limitation Form 10-K and Form 8-K, respecting the Trust Fund and/or the
Certificates required or specifically provided herein to be filed on behalf of

Agreement to the Trustee in Microsoft Word or Excel format or in such other
mutually acceptable format for conversion to EDGAR format for electronic filing
via the EDGAR system (in addition to any other required format). The Trustee

of the Voting Rights; or
(vi) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority

for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations, or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
(ix) the Trustee shall have received written notice from Fitch IBCA
that the continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such
capacity, in and of itself, would result or has resulted in the downgrade,
qualification (which shall include a "RatingAlert--negative") or withdrawal
of any rating then assigned by Fitch IBCA to any Class of Certificates; or
(x) Moody's places the ratings of any Class of Certificates on a
"watch" status in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (or
Moody's has downgraded or withdrawn any Class of Certificates), citing
servicing concerns with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special

not have resolved all such matters to the satisfaction of Moody's within
sixty (60) days (or such longer time period as may be agreed in writing by
Moody's) after such placement on "watch" status.
(b) If any Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (in either case for purposes of this Section 9.1(b), the
"DEFAULTING PARTY") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Depositor or the Trustee may terminate, and at the written direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, the
Trustee shall terminate, by notice in writing to the Defaulting Party, with a
copy of such notice to the Depositor (if the termination is effected by the
Trustee) or to the Trustee (if the termination is effected by the Depositor),
all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than any rights
of the Defaulting Party as Certificateholder and for recovery of amounts due the
Defaulting Party out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans). From and after the
receipt by the Defaulting Party of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) 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
Defaulting 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 if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1(b), it shall
promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to its
receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and
records requested by the Trustee to enable it or a successor servicer to assume
the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, functions
hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of
the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be,
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer within two Business Days to the Trustee or a successor servicer for
171
<PAGE>
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, to the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Servicing
Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of Advances (together with Advance Interest thereon) made by it or
otherwise, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.26 and 8.27
notwithstanding any such termination).
SECTION 9.2 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 9.1, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity
as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
(except for liabilities incurred prior to the Event of Default) relating thereto
and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, without
limitation, the Master Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances; provided that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's failure to provide information or monies
required by Section 9.1 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall
not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the applicable Servicing Fees and all
funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account if the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. All
expenses incurred by the successor servicer in the transfer of servicing
obligations from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to
the successor servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise by the Trust Fund if such expenses
are not paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
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 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee or if
it is not appropriately rated as an approved master servicer or special
servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, promptly appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of, a mortgage
loan servicing institution that has a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and
is otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency (as evidenced by Rating Agency
Confirmation), as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer. If the resigning or terminated party is the initial Master Servicer,
and if on or before the effective date of such resignation or termination the
initial Master Servicer procures a qualified Person that is willing to act as
the successor Master Servicer, then the Trustee shall appoint such Person to act
as the successor Master Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such Person is
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation is
obtained with respect to such appointment, (iii) the initial Master Servicer
pays all costs and expenses in
172
<PAGE>
connection with such transfer, and (iv) such Person accepts such appointment on
or prior to the effective date of such resignation or termination. No
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by the successor to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer of all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided and shall be entitled to such compensation as would
otherwise have been payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be. In connection with any such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder. The
Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
SECTION 9.3 NOTIFICATION TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
(a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.24, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 9.1 or any appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, and to the Special Servicer in
the case of the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer.
(b) Not later than the later of (i) 60 days after the occurrence of any
event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default and (ii) five days after the Trustee discovers or
is notified of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by
mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence,
unless such default shall have been cured.
SECTION 9.4 WAIVER OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the respective
Classes of Certificates affected by any Event of Default hereunder may, subject
to Section 9.1(b) hereof, waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that
an Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.1(a) may be waived
only by all of the Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of an Event of
Default, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have
been remedied for every purpose hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall be entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.12 for any costs and
expenses incurred as a result of such Event of Default. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Event of Default
pursuant to this Section 9.4, Certificates registered in the name of the
Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting
Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other
Person held such Certificates.

PURCHASE AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST
SECTION 10.1 TERMINATION OF TRUST.
(a) Subject to Section 10.3, the Trust and the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Fiscal Agent hereunder (other than the obligation of the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 6.4 or otherwise as set forth in Section 10.2 and other than
the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting or tax-related
administrative or judicial contests or proceedings) shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan held by the Trust and (B) the disposition of the last REO
Property held by the Trust and (ii) the sale of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties held by the Trust in accordance with Section 10.1(b); provided that
in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.
Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James,
living on the date hereof.
(b) As soon as reasonably practical, the Trustee shall give the Depositor,
the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class and the Class R-I Certificateholders notice of the date when
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Principal Balance
Certificates, after giving effect to distributions of principal made on the next
Distribution Date, will be less than or equal to 1% of the Initial Pool Balance.
The Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the majority holders
of the Controlling Class and the Holders of Class R-I Certificates representing
a majority Percentage Interest in such Class shall thereafter be entitled, in
that order of priority, to purchase, in whole only, the Mortgage Loans and any
REO Properties then remaining in the Trust Fund. If any such party desires to
exercise such option, it will notify the Trustee who will notify any other such
party with a prior right to exercise such option. If any such party that has
been so provided notice by the Trustee notifies the Trustee within ten Business
Days after receiving notice of the proposed purchase that it wishes to purchase
the assets of the Trust, then such party (or, in the event that more than one of
such parties notifies the Trustee that it wishes to purchase the assets of the
Trust, the party with the first right to purchase the assets of the Trust) may
purchase the assets of the Trust in accordance with this Agreement. The
"TERMINATION PRICE" shall equal the greater of (x) the sum of (i) the aggregate
Purchase Price of all the remaining Mortgage Loans (other than REO Mortgage
Loans and Mortgage Loans as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been
made) held by the Trust, plus (ii) the appraised value of each remaining REO
Property, if any, held by the Trust (such appraisal to be conducted by a
Qualified Appraiser selected by the Master Servicer and approved by the
Trustee), minus (iii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer is effecting
such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by the Master
Servicer, together with any Advance Interest accrued and payable to the Master
Servicer in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Master Servicing Fees
remaining outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or
reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection with such purchase) (or, solely
in the case where the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate
amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Special
174
<PAGE>
Servicer, together with any Advance Interest accrued and payable to the Special
Servicer in respect of such Servicing Advances and any unpaid Special Servicing
Fees remaining outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or
reimbursed to the Special Servicer in connection with such purchase)); (y) the
fair market value of all remaining assets of REMIC I and the grantor trust; and
(z) the amount that would be sufficient to pay the outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates, Distributable Certificate
Interest thereon, and Distributable Certificate Interest on the Class X
Certificates for the final Distribution Date.
In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class or the Holders of Class
R-I Certificates representing a majority Percentage Interest in such Class
purchase all of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties held by the
Trust in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the party effecting such
purchase (the "FINAL PURCHASER") shall (i) deposit in the Collection Account not
later than the Determination Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the
final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately
available funds equal to the Termination Price (other than the amount, if any,
of such Termination Price paid in respect of the assets of the grantor trust,
which amount shall be paid to the Trustee for deposit in the Excess Interest
Distribution Account) and (ii) deliver notice to the Trustee of its intention to
effect such purchase. Upon confirmation that such deposit has been made, the
Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Final Purchaser or its
designee the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute
all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Final
Purchaser as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties held by the Trust, in each case without representation
or warranty by the Trustee. All Servicing Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties shall be delivered to the Final Purchaser or its designee at
the expense of the Final Purchaser.
(c) As a condition to the purchase of the assets of the Trust pursuant to
Section 10.1(b), the Final Purchaser must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, which shall be at the expense of the Final Purchaser, stating that such
termination will be a "qualified liquidation" under Section 860F(a)(4) of the
Code of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III. Such purchase shall be made in
accordance with Section 10.3.
SECTION 10.2 PROCEDURE UPON TERMINATION OF TRUST.
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be
made, shall be given promptly by the Trustee to each Rating Agency and each
Certificateholder by first class mail no later than the later of (a) ten days
prior to the date of such termination and (b) the date the Trustee receives
notice of such termination. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made and (B) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates
at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee shall give
such notice to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar at the time such
notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon any such termination, the Trustee
shall terminate, or request the Master Servicer to terminate, as applicable, the
Collection Account and
175
<PAGE>
the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained by such Person
with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Trustee's obligation hereunder
to hold all amounts payable to the nontendering Certificateholders in trust
without interest pending such payment.
(b) On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each
Certificateholder that presents and surrenders its Certificates all amounts
payable on such Certificates on such final Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 6.4.
(c) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact
the nontendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates,
and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such
Holders. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, subject to
applicable state law relating to escheat, hold all amounts distributable to such
Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount
held by the Trustee and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the
final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. Any money held by
the Trustee pending distribution under this Section 10.2 after 90 days after the
adoption of a plan of complete liquidation shall be deemed for tax purposes to
have been distributed from the REMICs and shall be beneficially owned by the
related Holder.
SECTION 10.3 ADDITIONAL TRUST TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In the event of a purchase of all the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties held by the Trust in accordance with Section 10.1 or any other
termination of the Trust under this Article X, the Trust and each REMIC Pool
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless in the case of a termination under Section 10.1 hereof, the Final
Purchaser delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the
Final Purchaser (or, in the case of any other termination, the Trustee shall
obtain such Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Trust Fund) addressed to
the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trust to
comply with the requirements of this Section 10.3 will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC Pool under the
REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) within 89 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Trustee under Section 10.2, the Trustee shall adopt a
plan of complete liquidation prepared by the Final Purchaser and meeting the
requirements for a qualified liquidation for each REMIC Pool under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;
176
<PAGE>
(ii) during such 90-day liquidation period and at or after the
adoption of the plans of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the remaining Mortgage Loans
and any REO Properties held by the Trust to the Final Purchaser for cash in
an amount equal to the Termination Price, such cash shall be deposited into
the Collection Account, shall be deemed distributed on the REMIC I Regular
Interests in retirement thereof, shall be deemed distributed on the REMIC II
Regular Interests in retirement thereof, and shall be distributed to the
Certificateholders in retirement of the Certificates;
(iii) at the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the related Class of Residual
Certificates all cash on hand in each REMIC Pool after making such final
deemed payment or payments (other than cash retained to meet claims), and
REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) in no event may the final payment on the REMIC I Interests, the
REMIC II Interests, the REMIC III Regular Certificates, or the Class R-III
Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which such plans of
complete liquidation are adopted. The Trustee shall specify the first day of
the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return
for each REMIC Pool pursuant to Treasury regulation 1.860F-1.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree
to authorize the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III in accordance with the foregoing requirements, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.
ARTICLE XI.
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
SECTION 11.1 LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF HOLDERS.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder,
solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to
vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders

<PAGE>
(c) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement unless the
Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses

direction inconsistent with such written request has been given the Trustee
during such 60-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 11.2 ACCESS TO LIST OF HOLDERS.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen

names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most
recent Record Date.
(b) If the Depositor, the Operating Adviser, the Special Servicer, the
Master Servicer or three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as
"APPLICANTS," with a single Person that (together with its Affiliates) is the
Holder of more than one Class of Certificates being viewed as a single
"APPLICANT" for these purposes) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, send, at such Person's expense, the written communication

Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of
the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
178
<PAGE>
SECTION 11.3 ACTS OF HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders 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,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Depositor. Such instrument or
instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as an "ACT" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement
and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. The Trustee agrees to promptly notify the Depositor of
any such instrument or instruments received by it, and to promptly forward
copies of the same.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to such notary public or other officer the execution
thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member
of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate
or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such officer's or
member's authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall
be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee nor the Depositor
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of
the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the
Depositor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Certificate.
ARTICLE XII.
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
The provisions of this Article XII shall apply to each REMIC Pool.
SECTION 12.1 REMIC ADMINISTRATION.
(a) An election will be made by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust to treat
the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans (other than the
right to Excess
179
<PAGE>
Interest in respect of the Anticipated Repayment Date Loans), such amounts as
shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account in respect thereof, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties and
any other assets constituting REMIC I (as set forth on the definition of REMIC
I) as a REMIC under the Code. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
REMIC I Interests are issued. For purposes of such election, each of the REMIC I
Regular Interests shall be designated as a separate class of "regular interests"
in REMIC I and the Class R-I Certificates shall be designated as the sole class
of "residual interests" in REMIC I.
An election will be made by the Trustee on behalf of REMIC II to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC
under the Code. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate
federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC II
Interests are issued. For the purposes of such election, the REMIC II Regular
Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II and the
Class R-II Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of "residual
interests" in REMIC II.
An election will be made by the Trustee on behalf of REMIC III to treat the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a
REMIC under the Code. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
REMIC III Certificates are issued. For purposes of such election, the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class
J, Class K, Class L, Class M, the Class N Regular Interest represented by the
Class N Certificates, and each Component Interest of the Class X Certificates
shall be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC III and the Class R-III
Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC III.
The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the
meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)) in any of the REMIC Pools
other than the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the
interests evidenced by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each
REMIC Pool within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest
possible maturity date for the REMIC I Interests, the REMIC II Interests and the
REMIC III Certificates shall be the Rated Final Distribution Date.
The assets of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to any Excess Interest
in respect of the Anticipated Repayment Date Loans and the Excess Interest
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the Class N Grantor Trust Interest represented by the Class N Certificates,
which Class N Certificates, in the aggregate, will evidence 100% beneficial
ownership of such assets (the "GRANTOR TRUST ASSETS") from and after the Closing
Date. It is intended that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the
grantor trust assets will be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax
purposes, and each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that it will not take
any action that is inconsistent with establishing or
180
<PAGE>
maintaining such treatment. The Trustee shall hold the grantor trust assets
separate and apart from the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II, and REMIC III.
(c) The Trustee shall pay all routine tax related expenses (not including
any taxes, however denominated, including any additions to tax, penalties and
interest) of each REMIC Pool and the grantor trust, excluding any professional
fees or extraordinary expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to any REMIC Pool or the grantor trust that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities.
(d) The Trustee shall cause to be prepared, signed, and timely filed with
the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of each REMIC Pool, an application for a
taxpayer identification number for each REMIC Pool and the grantor trust on
Internal Revenue Service Form SS-4. The Trustee, upon receipt from the Internal
Revenue Service of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall
promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
The Trustee shall prepare and file Form 8811 on behalf of each REMIC Pool within
30 days after the Closing Date and shall designate an appropriate Person to
respond to inquiries by or on behalf of Certificateholders for original issue
discount and related information in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Code.
(e) The Trustee shall prepare, execute and file all of each REMIC Pool's
and the grantor trust's federal and state income or franchise tax and
information returns as such REMIC Pool's and the grantor trust's direct
representative; the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne
by the Trustee. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall each provide on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such
information with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool as is in the
Depositor's, the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may
be, possession, that the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, has received or prepared by virtue of its acting in such
capacity hereunder and that is reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it
to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on such information in the performance of its
obligations hereunder. The Depositor shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent for any liability or assessment against any of them or any cost
or expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any of them resulting from
any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from bad faith,
negligence, or willful malfeasance of the Depositor in providing any information
for which the Depositor is responsible for preparing. The Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall each indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent and the Depositor for any liability or assessment against the Trust, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Depositor, as the case may be, and any expenses
incurred in connection with such liability or assessment (including attorney's
fees) resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns
resulting from errors in the information provided by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, caused by the negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be. The Trustee shall be liable to the Trust, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Depositor for any expense incurred by the Trust, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor resulting from any error
in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in the
preparation of such returns caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith of the
181
<PAGE>
Trustee. Each indemnified party shall immediately notify the indemnifying party
or parties of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section
12.1(e), and provide the indemnifying party or parties, at the expense of such
indemnifying party or parties, an opportunity to contest the tax or assessment
or expense giving rise to such claim, provided that the failure to give such
notification rights shall not affect the indemnification rights in favor of the
Trust under this Section 12.1(e). Any such indemnification shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
(f) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC Pool and the grantor
trust all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of such REMIC Pool and the grantor trust under the Code, REMIC Provisions, or
other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or
local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Trustee shall provide (i) to
the Internal Revenue Service or other Persons (including, but not limited to,
any Person that transferred a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Residual Certificate on behalf
of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any
Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(g) The Trustee shall forward to the Depositor copies of quarterly and
annual Tax Returns and Form 1099 information returns and such other information
within the control of the Trustee as the Depositor may reasonably request in
writing. Moreover, the Trustee shall forward to Certificateholders such forms
and furnish such information within its control as are required by the Code to
be furnished to them, shall prepare and file with the appropriate state
authorities as may to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee be required by applicable law and shall prepare and disseminate to
Certificateholders Forms 1099 (or otherwise furnish information within the
control of the Trustee) to the extent required by applicable law. The Trustee
will make available to any Certificateholder any tax related information
required to be made available to such Certificateholder pursuant to the Code and
any Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(h) The Holder of Certificates representing the greatest Percentage
Interest in each Class of Residual Certificates shall be the Tax Matters Person
for the related REMIC Pool; provided that if Treasury Regulations shall be
modified to require another Person to be designated as Tax Matters Person, then
such Person shall become Tax Matters Person at such time. The duties of the Tax
Matters Person for each of the REMIC Pools are hereby delegated to the Trustee,
and each Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Residual Certificate,
agrees, on behalf of itself and all successor holders of such Residual
Certificate, to such delegation to the Trustee as their agent and attorney in
fact. If the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibits the Trustee from
signing any applicable Internal Revenue Service, court or other administrative
documents or from otherwise acting as Tax Matters Person (as an agent or
otherwise), the Trustee shall do or cause to be done whatever is necessary for
the signing of such documents and the taking of any other such act, and the
Residual Certificateholders shall reasonably cooperate with the Trustee in
connection therewith. The Trustee shall not be required
182
<PAGE>
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any other financial liability
in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers (except to the extent of the ordinary expenses of performing
its duties under, or as otherwise expressly provided in, this Agreement), if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.
(i) The Trustee, the Holders of the Residual Certificates, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each exercise reasonable care, to the
extent within its control, and with respect to each of the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer, within the scope of its express duties, and
shall each act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions, in
order to create and maintain the status of each REMIC Pool as a REMIC and the
grantor trust assets as a grantor trust or, as appropriate, adopt a plan of
complete liquidation in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and Article X
hereof.
(j) The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal
Agent and the Holders of Residual Certificates shall not take any action or fail
to take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action or fail to take
any action if any of such Persons knows or could, upon the exercise of
reasonable diligence, know, that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action or
failure to act, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC
Pool as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or except as provided in Section 8.20(a) hereof,
result in the imposition of a tax on "net income from foreclosure property" as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code (any of the foregoing, an "ADVERSE REMIC
EVENT")), unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense
of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.
Any action required under this Section which would result in an unusual or
unexpected expense shall be undertaken at the expense of the party seeking to
have the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Holders of
the Residual Certificates undertake such action.
(k) In the event that any tax is imposed on the grantor trust or on REMIC
I, REMIC II or REMIC III, including, without limitation, "prohibited
transactions" taxes as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on
"net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the
Code, any taxes on contributions to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any other tax imposed
by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws (other than
any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
8.20(a)), such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be charged
to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach of any of its obligations under this Article XII; (ii) the Special
Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article VIII or this Article XII; (iii)
the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article VIII or this Article
XII; or (iv) the Trust in all other instances. Any tax permitted to be incurred
by the Special Servicer pursuant to
183
<PAGE>
Section 8.20(a) shall be charged to and paid by the Master Servicer (at the
direction of the Trust) from the net income generated on the related REO
Property. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be
paid by the Master Servicer (at the direction of the Trustee) out of amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account or, if appropriate, out of collections of
Excess Interest.
(l) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and
records with respect to each REMIC Pool on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis. The books and records shall be sufficient concerning the nature and
amount of each REMIC Pool's investments to show that such REMIC Pool has
complied with the REMIC Provisions.
(m) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other
compensation for services (other than under the circumstances described in, and
subject to the conditions of, Section 8.20(a)).
(n) In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations
and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the
yield, Prepayment Assumption, Issue Prices and projected cash flows of the
Senior Certificates, Subordinate Certificates and Residual Certificates, as
applicable, and the projected cash flows of the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the
Depositor shall provide to the Trustee or its designee, promptly upon request
therefor, any such additional information or data within the Depositor's
possession or knowledge that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein. The Trustee is hereby directed to use any and all such information or
data provided by the Depositor in the preparation of all federal and state
income or franchise tax and information returns and reports for each REMIC Pool
and the grantor trust to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor
hereby indemnifies the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and each REMIC Pool for any
losses, liabilities, damages, claims, expenses (including attorneys' fees) or
assessments against the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and each REMIC Pool arising
from any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee pursuant to this Section that
result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data to the Trustee (but not resulting from the
methodology employed by the Trustee) on a timely basis and such indemnification
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or
resignation of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent; provided, however, that to the
extent that any Certificates have been transferred to a Seller under
circumstances in which the fair market value of such Certificates is their issue
price, the Depositor may exclusively rely on the accuracy of a determination of
such fair market value by such Seller in supplying information to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 12.1(n).
The Trustee agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it is
to be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best
reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers,
employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose,
without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such
information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes
184
<PAGE>
contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the
prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally
available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1
(n)) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed or is
disclosed (i) to independent auditors and accountants, counsel and other
professional advisers of the Trustee and its parent, or (ii) in connection with
enforcing its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
(o) At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, to the extent within its control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain the
assets of each REMIC Pool as "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code, subject to the "de minimis" exception of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(3).
(p) the Holders of the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates
shall pay when due their pro rata share of any and all federal, state and local
taxes imposed on REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as applicable, or their
respective assets or transactions, including, without limitation, "prohibited
transaction" taxes, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, any tax on
contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any tax on "net income
from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code. To the
extent that such taxes are not paid by the Class R-I, Class R-II or Class R-III
Certificateholders, respectively, the Trustee shall pay such remaining REMIC
taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the respective
Holder or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the
Distribution Account.
SECTION 12.2 PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES. None of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, to the extent within its
control, permit the sale, disposition or substitution of any of the Mortgage
Loans (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure, default or
imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any
REMIC Pool, (iii) the termination of the REMIC Pools in a "qualified
liquidation" as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, or (iv) a repurchase
or substitution by any Seller, as contemplated by Article II hereof), nor
acquire any assets for the Trust, except as provided herein, nor sell or dispose
of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain,
nor accept any contributions to any REMIC Pool (other than a cash contribution
during the 3-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting such action) to
the effect that such sale, disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance
will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC or of the
REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC III Regular
Certificates or the Component Interests of the Class X Certificates, as the case
may be, as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of
interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the
assets transferred or assigned to any REMIC Pool (except pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC Pool to be subject to a tax
on "prohibited transactions" or "prohibited contributions" or other tax pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
185
<PAGE>
SECTION 12.3 LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TAXES AND LOSS OF REMIC
STATUS. In the event that any REMIC Pool fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its
status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or tax as a result of a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution subject to taxation under the
REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall be liable to the REMIC Pools
and the Holders of the Residual Certificates for any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses ("LOSSES") resulting from such negligence and
relating to the Residual Certificates; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be liable pursuant to this Section 12.3 to the extent that any such Losses
are attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Depositor or the Holders of such Residual Certificates or to the
extent that any such Losses result from any actions or failures to act taken in

Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or such Holders of the Residual
Certificates. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights

effect as a Nondisqualification Opinion from the Internal Revenue Service (at
the expense of the party making the request that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer modify the Mortgage Loan or a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan), provided that no Nondisqualification Opinion shall be required to modify

SECTION 13.12 INTENTION OF PARTIES.
(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans and related property to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, by the Depositor as provided in Section 2.1 be, and be
construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It
is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by the Depositor to the
Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such conveyance is held
not to be an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans or any related property, or the
Mortgage Loans or any related property are for any other reason held to be the
property of the Depositor, then:
(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.
(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right,
title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(A) All accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel
paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and uncertificated
securities consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the property
described in clauses (1)-(4) below: (1) the Mortgage Loans (including,
without limitation, the Mortgage Notes, the related Mortgages, the related
security agreements, and the related title, hazard and other insurance
policies) identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all
Replacement Mortgage Loans, together with all payments and other
collections with respect thereto after the Cut-off Date (other than Monthly
Payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) and
the related Mortgage Files; (2) the Distribution Account and the Collection
Account, including, without limitation, all funds and investments therein
and all income from the investment of funds therein (including any accrued
discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a
discount); (3) the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular
Interests and the Certificates; and (4) the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements;
(B) All accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, chattel
paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, uncertificated
securities, and other rights
191
<PAGE>
arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with
respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims
against other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral
described in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on
liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and
(C) All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described in
clauses (A) and (B) above.
(iii) The possession by the Trustee of the Mortgage Notes, the
Mortgages and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit,
instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall
be deemed to be "possession by the secured party," or possession by a
purchaser or a Person designated by him or her, for purposes of perfecting
the security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code (including,
without limitation, Sections 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof) as in force in
each relevant jurisdiction.
(iv) Notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such
property, shall be deemed to be 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.
(b) The Depositor and, at the Depositor's direction, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee, at the Depositor's expense, shall, to the extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure
that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
property described above, 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 the Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall file, at the direction and at the expense of the Depositor, all filings
necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect
the Trustee's security interest in such property, including, without limitation,
continuation statements. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
(c) The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the Trust's
ownership of the Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 13.13 RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere. Such recordation, if any, shall be
effected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust payable out of the
Collection Account, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied by an
Opinion of
192
<PAGE>
Counsel (the cost of which shall be payable out of the Collection Account) to
the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the
interests of the Certificateholders of the Trust.

________________ (the "Transferor") to __________________ (the "Transferee") of
[Class R-I] [Class R-II] [Class R-III] Certificates evidencing a ____%
Percentage Interest in such Class (the "Residual Certificates"). The

Servicing Agreement"), among Heller Financial Commercial Mortgage Asset Corp.,
as depositor, Midland Loan Services, Inc., as master servicer, ORIX Real Estate
Capital Markets, LLC, as special servicer and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
as trustee. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate
Registrar, that:
1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the
Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you
a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F. The Transferor does not know or believe
that any representation contained therein is false.
3. The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as
contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a
result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found
no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue
to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor
understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be
respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may
continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith)
unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such Person an
affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of

interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and that
the transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any
taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no
significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. The Transferee is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
holding the Residual Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an

regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any
representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

which authorizes the Trustee to deliver payments on the Residual Certificate to
a Person other than the Transferee and clause (iv)(B) of Section 3.3(f) which
authorizes the Trustee to negotiate a mandatory sale of the Residual
Certificates, in either case, in the event that the Transferee holds such
Residual Certificates in violation of Section 3.3(f)); and the Transferee
expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.
9. No purpose of the Transferee relating to its purchase or any sale of the
Residual Certificates is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of
any tax.
10. The Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit of the
transferor that the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated with holding

the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar a representation
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement in which it will represent and warrant, among other things, that it is

collection of any tax and that it has at the time of such transfer conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed transferee
as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-l(c)(4)(i) and has
satisfied the requirements of such provision.

Attention: Asset-Backed Securities Trust Services
Group - Heller, Series 2000 PH-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby requests the Asset Strategy Report as amended or
restated from time to time (the "Report") in connection with Mortgage Loan
Number (the "Mortgage Loan") as identified in the pooling and servicing
agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") dated as of February 1, 2000,
by and among Heller Financial Commercial Mortgage Asset Corp., as depositor,
LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as fiscal
agent, Midland Loan Services, Inc., as master servicer and ORIX Real Estate
Capital Markets LLC, as special servicer. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that disclosing any information
contained in the Report to the related mortgagor, an affiliate thereof or a
person acting on their behalf would interfere with the property rights of the
Trust Fund and the Certificateholders and result in additional losses and costs
thereto. Such disclosure would also thus adversely impact the planning, strategy
and servicing by the Special Servicer of the related Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged
Property or REO Loan in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
undersigned represents that none of it, or its Representatives is the related
mortgagor, an affiliate thereof or a person acting on their behalf. Realizing
the serious nature of any use or disclosure adverse to the terms herein, the
undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the
Certificateholders and the Special Servicer from any claim or legal action
(whether in law or equity) and any other monetary loss related to the
undersigned's disclosure or use of the information contained in the Asset
Strategy Report inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that it is imperative that the
Report remains confidential. Accordingly, the undersigned agrees that before it
or any of its affiliates, or it or its affiliates' agents, advisors, or
representatives (each, a "Representative") may be given access to the Reports,
the undersigned and each such affiliate and Representative shall agree to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. The undersigned agrees to be responsible
for any breach of this Agreement by its affiliates or its or their
Representatives.
To maintain the confidentiality of the Reports, the undersigned and each
individual or entity agreeing to be bound by this Agreement agree:
(a) Not to use or allow the use for any purpose of the Reports or notes,
summaries, or other material derived by the undersigned, its
affiliates, or its or their Representatives from the
J-1-1
<PAGE>
Report (collectively, "Notes") except to evaluate the Certificates or
otherwise to determine whether to implement the recommended actions
outlined in the Report;
(b) Not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of the Report or Notes
except to its affiliates or to its or their Representatives, in each
case to the extent necessary to permit such affiliate or Representative
to assist the undersigned in making the determinations referred to in
clause (a) above;
(c) Not to disclose or allow disclosure to persons other than those
described in clause (b) above that the Report has been made available
to the undersigned, that the undersigned, its affiliates, or its or
their Representatives have inspected the Reports; and
(d) Not to make or allow to be made copies of the Report except in the form
of Notes made by the undersigned, its affiliates, or its or their
Representatives, or as the Trustee may specifically authorize in
writing.
You may, upon reasonable belief that the undersigned, or any individual or
entity agreeing to be bound by this Agreement breached this Agreement, elect at
any time to terminate further access by any or all such parties to the Report
and the undersigned agrees that upon any such termination, it will promptly (and
in any case within 7 days of the Trustee's request), return to the Trustee the
Report except Notes and will cause all Notes to be destroyed, and confirm in
writing to the Trustee the fact that all such material has been returned or
destroyed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. No such termination
will affect the undersigned's obligations hereunder or those of its affiliates
or its or their Representatives, all of which obligations shall continue in
effect.
This Agreement shall be inoperative as to particular portions of the Report
if such Report (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by the undersigned, its affiliates, or its or their
Representatives, (ii) was available to the undersigned on a non-confidential
basis prior to its disclosure to the undersigned by the Trustee, (iii) becomes
available to the undersigned on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Trustee or its agents, advisors, or representatives when such source is
entitled, to the best of the undersigned's knowledge, to make such disclosure,
or (iv) becomes available to the undersigned as required by local, state, or
federal law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws
principles thereof.
If the undersigned, its affiliates, or its or their Representatives are
requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for the
Report, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose
the Report or Notes, it is agreed that the undersigned will provide the Trustee
with prompt written notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so
that the Trustee may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive your
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, failing the entry of a
protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the undersigned, its
affiliates, or its or their Representatives are, in the opinion of the
undersigned's counsel compelled to disclose the Report or Notes under pain of
liability for contempt or other censure or penalty, the undersigned may disclose
only that portion of the Report as is legally required without liability
hereunder, provided that the undersigned agrees to exercise its best efforts to
obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Report.
J-1-2

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the matters described herein and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, oral and written, between the parties with respect thereto.
Very truly yours,
