This Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of ________ 200_, among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation,
as Depositor, __________, as Servicer, ________, as Special Servicer, ________as
Fiscal Agent and __________as Trustee.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through
certificates (collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in
multiple classes (each, a "Class"), which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the trust fund (the "Trust Fund") to be
created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial and
multifamily mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"). As provided herein, the
Servicer shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat the Trust
Fund [(exclusive of the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution
Account)] for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage
investment conduits (the "Upper-Tier REMIC" and the "Lower-Tier REMIC", and
each, a "REMIC").

The following table sets forth the designation, the pass-through
rate (the "Pass-Through Rate"), the aggregate initial principal amount (the
"Original Certificate Balance") or Notional Amount ("Original Notional Amount"),
as applicable, and the initial ratings given each Class by the Rating Agencies
(the "Original Ratings") for each Class of Certificates comprising the interests
in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

Distribution Date, the Cut-off Date. The original Notional Amount of the
[WAC] Component is $________. The Notional Amount of the [A-1] Component
is equal to the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class [LA-1]
Uncertificated Interest as of the preceding Distribution Date (after

after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to
each other Class of Certificates, will be distributed to the Holders of
the Class [R] Certificates.
The Class [A-1], Class [A-2], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D], Class
[E], Class [F], Class [G], Class [H] and Class [X] Certificates will evidence

Advances and interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate in respect of such

Appraisal Reduction Event, the
-5-
<PAGE>
Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal (the cost of which shall be paid as a
Servicing Advance by the Servicer); provided, however, that with respect to an
Appraisal Reduction Event as set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of
Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall obtain such Appraisal
within the 120 day period set forth in such clause (ii), which Appraisal shall
be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall
deliver such Appraisal to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of a
Class [F], Class [G] and Class [H] Certificate within 15 days of receipt by the
Servicer of such Appraisal from the Special Servicer.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal
Reduction has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan has become a Corrected
Mortgage Loan and has remained current for twelve consecutive Monthly Payments
(for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such
Mortgage Loan)), the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each annual
anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, order an Appraisal (which
may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the
Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Based upon such Appraisal, the Special Servicer
shall redetermine and report to the Paying Agent and the Trustee the amount of
the Appraisal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage Loan and such redetermined
Appraisal Reduction shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction with respect to
such Mortgage Loan.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal
Reduction has occurred and which has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan and has
remained current for twelve consecutive Monthly Payments (for such purposes
taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan), and
with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is
continuing, the Special Servicer may within 30 days of the date of such twelfth
Monthly Payment, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior
Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing
Advance. Based upon such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall redetermine and
report to the Paying Agent and the Trustee the amount of the Appraisal Reduction
with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special
Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal with respect to a Mortgage
Loan which is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the
Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property within the 12-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior
Appraisal in calculating any Appraisal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage
Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate
Appraisal Reduction related to a Mortgage Loan or the related REO Property will
be reduced to zero as of the date such Mortgage Loan is paid in full,
liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust Fund.

an amount equal to the product of (i) ___ % per annum, and (ii) the sum of all
Appraisal Reductions with respect to such Distribution Date.
"Appraisal Reduction Event": With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the date on which the first extension
of the Maturity Date of such
-6-
<PAGE>
Mortgage Loan becomes effective as a result of a modification of such Mortgage
Loan by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, which extension does
not decrease the amount of Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loan, (ii) 120 days
after an uncured delinquency (without regard to the application of any grace
period) occurs in respect of such Mortgage Loan, (iii) the date on which a
reduction in the amount of Monthly Payments on such Mortgage Loan, or a change
in any other material economic term of such Mortgage Loan (other than an
extension of the Maturity Date), becomes effective as a result of a modification
of such Mortgage Loan by the Special Servicer, (iv) 60 days after a receiver has
been appointed, (v) 60 days after a Mortgagor declares bankruptcy and (vi)
immediately after a Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Loan; provided, however, that
an Appraisal Reduction Event shall not occur at any time when the aggregate
Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates (other than the Class [A]
Certificates) has been reduced to zero. The Special Servicer shall notify the
Servicer promptly upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events.
"Appraised Value": With respect to any Mortgaged Property, the
appraised value thereof as determined by an Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property
securing such Mortgage Loan made by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
"Asset Status Report": As defined in Section 3.21(d).
"Assignment of Leases": With respect to any Mortgaged Property, any
assignment of leases, rents and profits or similar instrument executed by the
Mortgagor, assigning to the mortgagee all of the income, rents and profits
derived from the ownership, operation, leasing or disposition of all or a

acknowledged and delivered, as amended, modified, renewed or extended through

any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment

based on the constant payment required by the related Mortgage Note or the
original amortization schedule thereof (as calculated with interest at the
related Mortgage Rate), if applicable, assuming such Balloon Payment has not
become due, after giving effect to any modification of such Mortgage Loan, and
(b) interest on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan at the
applicable Mortgage Rate (net of interest at the Servicing Fee Rate).
"Authenticating Agent": Any agent of the Trustee appointed to act as

(iii) all amounts payable or reimbursable to any Person from the

which is not a leap year, an amount equal to one day of interest on the
Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs at the
related Mortgage Rate to the extent such amounts are to be deposited in
the Interest Reserve Account and held for future distribution pursuant to
Section 3.25;]
(b) if and to the extent not already included in clause (a) hereof,
the aggregate amount transferred from the REO Account to the Certificate Account

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby assign, sell, transfer and convey to the Trustee, without
recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder
of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) 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, 9, 11, 13 and 16] of each of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreements and (iii) all other assets included or to be included
in the Trust Fund. 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 11.07, is
intended by the parties to constitute a sale. In connection with the assignment
to the Trustee of Sections [2, 3, 9, 11, 13 and 16] of each of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements, it is intended that the Trustee get the benefit of Sections
[8, 10 and 12] thereof in connection with any exercise of rights under such
assigned Sections, and the Depositor shall use its best efforts to make
available to the Trustee the benefits of Sections [8, 10 and 12] in connection
therewith.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and
warrants that it has directed, the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to each
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,
on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan so
assigned, with copies to the Servicer. If a Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver,
or cause to be delivered as to any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note,
such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver a copy or duplicate original of such
Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof
has been lost or destroyed and indemnifying the Trustee. If a Mortgage Loan
Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of
the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii),
(viii), (xi) and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File," with evidence of
recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording
office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation, the
delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this
Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as
of the Closing Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such
non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in
the Mortgage File, provided, that a photocopy of such non-delivered document or
instrument (certified by such Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording) is delivered to the
Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby on or before the Closing Date, and
either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy
thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder's office, in the case of
the documents and/or instruments referred to
-47-
<PAGE>
in clause (ii) of the definition of "Mortgage File," to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of
recording thereon, is delivered to the Trustee or such Custodian within 180 days
of 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 such Mortgage Loan Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee no less
often than every 90 days, in good faith attempting to obtain from the
appropriate county recorder's office such original or photocopy). If a Mortgage
Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan,
any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vi),
(vii), (viii), (xi) and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File," with
evidence of recording thereon, for any other reason, including, without
limitation, that such non-delivered document or instrument has been lost, the
delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this
Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such non-delivered
document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be
deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, provided, that a photocopy of
such non-delivered document or instrument (with evidence of recording thereon
and certified in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in
clause (ii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" by the appropriate county
recorder's office to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof
submitted for recording) is delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian appointed
thereby on or before the Closing Date. Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian
shall in any way be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the
Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements and this Section 2.01(b). If, on the Closing Date as to any Mortgage,
Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver in complete and
recordable form any one of the assignments in favor of the Trustee referred to
in clauses (iii), (v), (vii) or (xi) of the definition of "Mortgage File" solely
because of the unavailability of recording information as to any existing
document or instrument, such Mortgage Loan Seller may provisionally satisfy the
delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this
Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to such Mortgage Loan on the Closing
Date an omnibus assignment of such Mortgage Loan substantially in the form of
Exhibit I; provided that all required original assignments with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, in fully complete and recordable form, are delivered to the
Trustee or its Custodian within 180 days of the Closing Date (or within such
longer period as the Trustee in its discretion may permit). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the documents referred to in
clause (xvi) of the definition of Mortgage File, the Servicer shall be permitted
to hold the original of such document in trust on behalf of the Trustee in order
to draw on such letter of credit and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall
be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to
such document a copy thereof to the Trustee together with an Officer's
Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that such document has been
delivered to the Servicer. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any
costs of assignment of such letter of credit required in order for the Servicer
to draw on such letter of credit.
(c) Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence
of this subsection (c), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, or the Trustee, at
the related Mortgage Loan Seller's expense, shall, as to each Mortgage Loan,
promptly (and in any event within 75 days of the later of the Closing Date and
the Trustee's actual receipt of the related documents) cause to be submitted for
recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for
real
-48-
<PAGE>
property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each assignment to
the Trustee referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and (xii) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" and each UCC-1, UCC-2 and UCC-3 to the Trustee
referred to in clause (xi) of the definition of "Mortgage File." Each such
assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording
office to the Trustee or its designee following recording, and each such UCC-1,
UCC-2 and UCC-3 shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to
the Trustee or its designee following filing. If any such document or instrument
is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the filing requirements of the
jurisdiction in which it is recorded or filed, or is lost or returned unrecorded
or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall
prepare or cause to be prepared at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan
Seller a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter the Trustee shall upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly
recorded or filed, as appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be
no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause
(iii) or (v) of the definition of "Mortgage File," or to file any UCC-1, UCC-2
or UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (xi) of the definition of
"Mortgage File," in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local
counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund) acceptable to
the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to
protect the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage Loans against sale,
further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.
(d) All documents and records in the Depositor's or any Mortgage
Loan Seller's possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including financial
statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the
respective Mortgagor from time to time) that are not required to be a part of a
Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof together with copies of
all documents in each Mortgage File shall be delivered to the Servicer on or
before the Closing Date and shall be held by the Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as holder of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests).
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and
warrants that it has delivered, to the Trustee and the Servicer, on or before
the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or
modification, on the Closing Date.
(f) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to require that,
promptly after the Closing Date, but in all events within three Business Days
after the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all funds on
deposit in escrow accounts maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the
name of such Mortgage Loan Seller or any other name to be transferred to the
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.01 and the further review provided for in this Section
2.02 and to any exceptions noted on the Trustee Exception Report, of the
documents specified in clauses (i)-(v), (viii), (ix) and (xiii) of
-49-
<PAGE>
the definition of "Mortgage File" with respect to each Mortgage Loan, of a fully
executed original counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and of
all other assets included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of
any adverse claim, and declares that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered or caused to be
delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the Mortgage Files, and that
it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust
for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
(b) Within 60 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee or a Custodian
on its behalf shall review each of the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or
caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the Mortgage
Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than 90 days
after the Closing Date), the Trustee shall certify in writing to each of the
Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Directing Certificateholder (provided it shall have identified itself, and
furnished to the Trustee a notice address for the delivery of such certificate)
and each Mortgage Loan Seller that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed thereto as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents specified in clauses
(i) - (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii), (xiii) and (xvi) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" are in its possession, (ii) all documents delivered or caused to
be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files have
been reviewed by it or by a Custodian on its behalf and appear regular on their
face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and
only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
(other than zip code), (iv), (vi), (viii)(a) and (viii)(c) of the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed
on an exception report, the Trustee shall specifically identify such Mortgage
Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee and the Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items
required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were
delivered by the Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording and have not
been returned by the recorder's office).
(c) The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review each of
the Mortgage Loan documents received thereby subsequent to the Closing Date;
and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer
and each Mortgage Loan Seller that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation
Event has occurred or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception
report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all
documents specified in clauses (i) - (v), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii), (xiii) and
(xvi) of the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession, (ii) it or a
Custodian on its behalf has received either a recorded original of each of the
assignments specified in clause (iii) and, insofar as an unrecorded original
thereof had been delivered or caused to be delivered by the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, pursuant to clause (v) of the definition of "Mortgage File" or a
copy of such recorded original certified by the applicable public recording
office to be true and complete, (iii) all Mortgage Loan documents received by it
or any Custodian have been reviewed by it or by such Custodian on its behalf and
appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iv) based on
the examinations referred to in subsection (b) above and this subsection (c) and
only as to the foregoing documents, the
-50-
<PAGE>
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items
specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) (other than zip code), (iv), (vi), (viii)
(a) and (viii) (c) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" is correct.
(d) It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any
Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the
documents specified in clauses (iv) - (viii), (x), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" exist or are required to be delivered by the
Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person or (ii) to inspect,
review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other
papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same
are genuine, enforceable, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a
security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the
documents specified in clause (ix), whether the insurance is effective as of the
date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included
in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable
replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan
funding.
(e) If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any
time thereafter, the Trustee or any Custodian finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been properly executed or,
subject to Section 2.01(b), not to have been delivered, to contain information
that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information
set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or to be defective on its face (each, a
"Defect" in the related Mortgage File), the Trustee shall promptly so notify the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the applicable Mortgage Loan
Seller (and in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date and every 90
days thereafter until November 1, 200_, and annually thereafter), by providing a
written report (the "Trustee Exception Report") setting forth for each affected
Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect.

<PAGE>
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
performance of its obligations hereunder by the Depositor will not
conflict with any provisions of any law or regulations to which the
Depositor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Depositor or any
indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by
which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Depositor, or
result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Depositor's
assets or property, which would materially and adversely affect the
ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; the Depositor has obtained any consent, approval,
authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body

ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; and
(v) The Depositor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with the
full right to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trust and the Mortgage
Loans have been validly transferred to the Trust.
(b) If any Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or
the Trustee discovers or receives notice of a Defect in any Mortgage File or a
breach of any representation or warranty set forth in, or required to be made
with respect to a Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to, the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach,
as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, such Certificateholder,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give
prompt written notice of such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, to the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder
and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and shall request that such Mortgage Loan
Seller, not later than the earlier of 90 days from such Mortgage Loan Seller's
receipt of such notice or such Mortgage Loan Seller's discovery of such Breach,

(ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price or
in conformity with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or [(iii)
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan
(provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the
second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Servicer for deposit into
the Certificate Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection
therewith; provided, however, that if such Breach and Defect is capable of being
cured but not within such 90-day period, and the Mortgage Loan Seller has
commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Breach
-52-
<PAGE>
or Defect within such 90-day period, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an

the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan)
and provided, further, that with respect to such additional 90-day period the
Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an Officer's Certificate to the Rating
Agencies and the Trustee setting forth the reason such Breach or Defect is not
capable of being cured within the initial 90-day period and what actions the
Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating
that the Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Breach or Defect will be
cured within the additional 90-day period]. Any Defect or Breach which causes
any Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" (within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, without regard to the rule of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) which causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be
treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely
affect the interest of Certificateholders therein and such Mortgage Loan shall
be repurchased without regard to the extended cure period described in the
preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the
Trustee shall designate the Certificate Account as the account into which funds
in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be deposited by wire transfer in the
Certificate Account.

sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of
any representation or warranty set forth in or required to be made pursuant to

Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), enforce the
obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 3 of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreements. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at
such time as the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would
require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage
Loan(s). The Trustee and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be
reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific

ADMINISTRATION AND
SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Special Servicer to Act as
Special Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall diligently
service and administer the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service pursuant to
this Agreement on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) determined by the 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, in
accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same
manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with
which the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and
administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party portfolios, giving due
consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders servicing their own
mortgage loans and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and
administers similar mortgage loans owned by the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, if applicable, in either case exercising
reasonable business judgment and acting in accordance with applicable law, the
terms of this Agreement, the respective Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, as applicable, and with a view to the maximization of timely
recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage
Loans or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as applicable, and the best
interests of the Trust and the Certificateholders, as determined by the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, but
without regard to: (i) any relationship that the Servicer, the Special Servicer
or any Affiliate thereof may have with any Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller,
or any other party to this Agreement; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate by
the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof; (iii) the
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable, obligation to make Advances;
(iv) the Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, right to receive
compensation for its services and reimbursement for its costs hereunder or with
respect to any particular transaction and (v) the ownership, servicing or
management for others of any other mortgage loans or mortgaged properties (the
foregoing, collectively referred to as the "Servicing Standards"). Without
limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.21, the Special Servicer shall be
obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans as to which a
Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (the "Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans") and (ii) any REO Properties; provided, that the Servicer shall
continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to
be prepared, all reports to the Certificateholders, required hereunder with
respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, except for the reports
specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing
Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the
related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such
incidental services with respect to such Specially
-55-
<PAGE>
Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for
herein; provided, further, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for
failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a
failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the
Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to
otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Each Mortgage Loan that becomes
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of
the conditions specified in Section 3.21(a). Without limiting the foregoing,
subject to Section 3.21, the Servicer shall be obligated to service and
administer all Mortgage Loans which are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
provided, that the Special Servicer shall make the inspections, use its
reasonable best efforts to collect the statements and shall prepare the reports
in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12.
(b) Subject only to the Servicing Standards and the terms of this
Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans and applicable law, the Servicer
and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone,
to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing
and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer,
in its own name, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee and obligated
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or
any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan it is obligated to service under
this Agreement (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and
other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the
related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the
related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Section 3.20,
any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to
any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments. Subject to Section 3.10, the
Trustee shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Servicer or the Special
Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable the 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(c) To the extent the Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan documents to exercise its discretion with respect to
any action which requires a confirmation of the Rating Agencies that such action
will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of
any Class of Certificates, the Servicer shall require the costs of such written
confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of
any confirmation of the Rating Agencies that an action will not result in the
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of any Class of
Certificates, the Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and
expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor.
(d) The relationship of each of the Servicer and the Special
Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be
that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or
agent.
-56-
<PAGE>
(e) The Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to Escrow
Payments held by the Special Servicer, if any) shall, to the extent permitted by
the related Mortgage Loan documents and consistent with the Servicing Standards,
permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
(a) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall
follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Servicing Standards)[, provided, that with
respect to the Mortgage Loans that have Anticipated Prepayment Dates, so long as
the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related
Mortgage Loan documents, the Servicer and Special Servicer (including the
Special Servicer and in its capacity as a Certificateholder), shall not take any
enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make
any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the
maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal balance
of such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full; provided, that the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust
Fund's right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents.] Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer each may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in
connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan it is obligated to
service hereunder.
(b) All amounts collected on any Mortgage Loan in the form of
payments from Mortgagors, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to any Mortgage Loan 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 such express provisions, shall be applied (after reimbursement to the
Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Fiscal Agent for any related Servicing Advances
and interest thereon as provided herein): first, as a recovery of accrued and
unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect
from time to time to but not including the Due Date in the Due Period of
receipt; second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and
third, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, as a recovery of any other
amounts due and owing on such Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation,
Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges, Penalty Charges [and Excess
Interest] and fourth, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the
extent of its entire unpaid principal balance. To the extent that such amounts
are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have
been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in
the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and
then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
preceding sentence. Amounts collected on any REO Loan shall be deemed to be
applied in accordance with the definition thereof.
(c) To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans
and applicable law, the Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing
under the related Mortgage Loan as if
-57-
<PAGE>
such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date
immediately succeeding the month in which such Insurance and Condemnation
Proceeds were received.
(d) [In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer receives
Excess Interest in any Due Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor
that the Servicer or Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest in any
Due Period, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will promptly
notify the Paying Agent. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(a) hereof,
neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any such
Excess Interest not collected after notice from the related Mortgagor.]
Section 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited
and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with
the Mortgage Loan documents. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only
be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents
or in Permitted Investments. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only
to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the
Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related
Mortgage Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Servicer;
(v) withdraw amounts deposited in error or (vi) clear and terminate the
Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay or cause
to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the
extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the
Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall 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. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the
Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall use reasonable efforts
consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills
for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect
payment thereof from the REO Account or by the Servicer as Servicing Advances
prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to
the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such
purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Servicer at the
written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed
under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicer or, with respect to
any Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including
monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in
accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the Servicing Standards. 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
-58-
<PAGE>
applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans,
and the Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall use reasonable
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the requirement of the
related Mortgage that the Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at
the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of
foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property for nonpayment of such items.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standards and for all Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer shall advance with respect to each related Mortgaged
Property (including any REO 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 Escrow Payments 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, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not,
if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further,
however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Servicer
shall not be required to make such advance until the earlier of five Business
Days after the Servicer has received confirmation that such item has not been
paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would
accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent not less than five Business Days'
notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Servicing
Advance with respect to a given Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided,
however, that only two Business Days' notice shall be required in respect of
Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which
may include, without limitation, Servicing Advances required to make tax or
insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with such information in its
possession as the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, may
reasonably request to enable the Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such advances shall be reimbursable in the first
instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in
Section 3.05. No costs incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in
effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable,
ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes
hereof, including, without limitation, 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.
The failure by the Servicer to make any required Servicing Advance as and when
due shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a)(i) and, to the
extent the Trustee has knowledge that such Servicing Advance is necessary, the
Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. If the
Trustee fails to make such Servicing Advance, to the extent the Fiscal Agent has
knowledge that such Servicing Advance is necessary, the Fiscal Agent shall make
such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05.
(d) No more frequently than once per calendar month, the Special
Servicer may require the Servicer, and the Servicer shall be obligated, out of
the Servicer's own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any Servicing
Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by but not
previously reimbursed to the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon at
the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of
-59-
<PAGE>
reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall
be made within ten days of the request therefor by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Special Servicer. Upon the
Servicer's reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and
payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this
Section 3.03(d), the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed
to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer
actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Servicer shall be
entitled to reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, together with interest
thereon in accordance with Section 3.03(e) below at the same time, in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Servicer would otherwise have been entitled
if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer
did.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other
Section of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer is required under this
Agreement (but subject to the following paragraph) to make any Servicing Advance
but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its sole discretion,
request that the Servicer make such Servicing Advance. Any such request shall be
made, in writing, in a timely manner that does not adversely affect the
interests of any Certificateholder (and, in any event, to the extent reasonably
practicable, at least five Business Days in advance of the date on which the
subject Servicing Advance is to be made) and shall be accompanied by such
information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the
Servicer may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Special Servicer
shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for emergency advances)
more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate
to more than one Servicing Advance). The Servicer shall have the obligation to
make any such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance)
that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five Business
Days of the Servicer's receipt of such request. If the request is timely and
properly made, the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with
respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests Servicer to make (regardless
of whether or not the Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance). The Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the
direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon in accordance
with Section 3.03(e) below at the same time, in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances
made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(d),
the Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or to
make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the
Servicer determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment that such Servicing
Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance, is in fact an Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Servicer
shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if
applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03(e) below.
(e) In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), each of the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive,
out of any amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account, interest at the
Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on
-60-
<PAGE>
the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including,
the date of reimbursement. The Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as
soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are
deposited in the Certificate Account.
(f) To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to
be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a
reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which
such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs,
capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or
completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall request
from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within
a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which
such action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or
completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any
inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Servicer shall, in accordance
with the Servicing Standards, determine whether the related Mortgagor has failed
to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan and report any such
failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the later of
________, 200_ and the date as of which such actions or remediations are
required to be or to have been taken or completed.
Section 3.04 The Certificate Account, the Lower-Tier and Upper-Tier
Distribution Accounts [and the Excess Interest
Distribution Account].
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, a Certificate Account in which the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than
the Business Day following receipt of available funds), except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections received or
made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect
of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due and payable on or before the
Cut-off Date, which payments shall be delivered promptly to the appropriate
Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee and other than any amounts received from
Mortgagors which are received in connection with the purchase of defeasance
collateral), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal

limitation, Default Interest) on the Mortgage Loans (net of the Servicing
Fees), including [Excess Interest,] Penalty Charges, Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges;
(iii) all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (other

<PAGE>
Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in the Trust

pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be transferred from the REO Account
pursuant to Section 3.16(c);

generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of
Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees,
modification fees, extension fees or amounts collected for Mortgagor checks
returned for insufficient funds need not be deposited by the Servicer in the
Certificate Account. If the Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received
from Mortgagors on Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be
promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation,
but only to the extent the payment of such fees are in accordance with the
second paragraph of Section 3.11(b) and any other terms hereof.
Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i)-(iii)
above with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer shall remit within 1 Business Day such amounts to the Servicer for
deposit into the Certificate Account in accordance with the second preceding
paragraph. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an
REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and
remitted to the Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.16(c). With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of
the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse without recourse or
warranty such check to the order of the Servicer and shall promptly deliver any
such check to the Servicer by overnight courier.
Funds in the Certificate Account may only be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Servicer
shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Depositor of the
location of the Certificate Account as of the Closing Date and of the new
location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.
(b) The Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests), shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the [Excess Interest Distribution
Account] and [the Interest Reserve Account] in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-
-62-

in and withdrawals from the Distribution Accounts in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent each month on
or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount
(calculated without regard to clause (a)(iv), (a)(v), (a)(viii) and (c) and (d)
of the definition thereof) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in
the Certificate Account.
The Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution

accounts.
In addition to the amounts required to be deposited in the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder, deliver to the Paying Agent for
deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account:
(i) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to

of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to
Section 9.01 (exclusive of that portion thereof required to be deposited
in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums; and
(v) any other amounts required to be so delivered for deposit in the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement.
If, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date or
on such other date as any amount referred to in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (v) are required to be delivered hereunder, the Servicer shall not have
delivered to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account
[and the Excess Interest Distribution Account] the amounts required to be
deposited therein pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall pay the Paying Agent interest on such late payment at the Prime Rate from
the time such payment was required to be made (without regards to any grace
period) until such late payment is received by the Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account any and all amounts received by the Paying Agent that are
required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein. In the event
the Trustee receives any amounts required to be remitted to the Paying Agent or

Business Day following receipt. The Trustee shall remit to the Paying Agent for

7.05.
Promptly on each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw
from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and deposit in the Upper-Tier

4.01(d), respectively.
Pursuant to Section 3.06, the Servicer shall deliver to the Paying
Agent for deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account any amounts required to
be deposited therein in connection with losses incurred with respect to
Permitted Investments of funds held in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.

establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in the name of
the Paying Agent in trust for the benefit of the Class S Certificateholders. The
Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an
Eligible Account. Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Servicer shall
remit to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution
Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received during the applicable
Collection Period.
Following the distribution of Excess Interest to Class S
Certificateholders on the first Distribution Date after which there are no
longer any Mortgage Loans outstanding which pursuant to their terms could pay

<PAGE>
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to

Section 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Certificate Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Distribution Accounts and
the REO Account.
(a) The Servicer may direct [(or direct the Paying Agent to direct
in the case of the Interest Reserve Account)] any depository institution
maintaining the Certificate Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution or the [Interest Reserve Account] (each, for purposes of
this Section 3.06, an "Investment Account") and the Special Servicer may direct
any depository institution maintaining the REO Account (also for purpose of this
Section 3.06, an "Investment Account") to invest, or if it is such depository
institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein only in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution
maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity
as such). The Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account) or the Special
Servicer (in the case of the REO Account), on behalf of the Trustee, shall
maintain continuous possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the
Certificate Account or REO Account that is either (i) a "certificated security,"
as such term is defined in the UCC or (ii) other property in which a secured
party may perfect its security interest by possession under the UCC or any other
applicable law. [Funds on deposit in the Distribution Accounts, if any, shall
remain uninvested.] Possession of any such Permitted Investment by the Servicer
or the Special Servicer shall constitute possession by a person designated by
the Trustee for purposes of Section 8-313 of the UCC and possession by the
Trustee, as secured party, for purposes of Section 9-305 of the UCC and any
other applicable law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall
have sole control (except with respect to investment direction) over Permitted
Investments of amounts in the Distribution Accounts. In the event amounts on
deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
Investment payable on demand, the Servicer (in the case of the Certificate
Account), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account) or the Paying
Agent (in the case of the Distribution Accounts and the [Interest Reserve
Account]) shall:
(i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser
of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to
be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the
case may be,
-69-
<PAGE>
that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment
in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in
each of the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts and the [Interest
Reserve Account], to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with
respect to such account for each period from any Distribution Date to the
immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at
its direction, in accordance with Section 3.05(a), 3.05(b) or 3.05(c), as the
case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the
REO Account, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect
to such account for each period from any Distribution Date to the immediately
succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with
Section 3.16(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any
Permitted Investment on deposit in any of the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Accounts, the [Interest Reserve Account] or the REO Account, the
Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or
the [Interest Reserve Account]) and the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO
Account) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without
right of reimbursement, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, with
respect to such account for the period from the immediately preceding
Distribution Date to such P&I Advance Date, provided, that neither the Servicer
nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment
of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of
the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust
company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository
institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the
definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to
any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment
or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.
Section 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related
Mortgage Note, or if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain,
for each Mortgage Loan all Insurance Policy coverage as is required under the
related Mortgage (to the extent that the Trustee has an insurable interest and
such Insurance Policy coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates,
consistent with the Servicing Standards); provided, however, that if any
Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the Insurance
Policy coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
impose such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing
Standards. Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall maintain for
each REO Property no less Insurance Policy coverage than was previously required
of the
-70-
<PAGE>
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan. All such Insurance Policies shall (i)
contain a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of
Mortgage Loans other than REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Special
Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties) on
behalf of the Trustee, (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the
lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged
Property or the REO Property, as applicable, or (y) the outstanding principal
balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in
any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance
provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction
for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related
Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancellable without 30 days' prior written
notice to the insured party and (vi) be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized
under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by
the Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance 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 the Servicing Standards and the provisions of the
related Mortgage Loan) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than
REO Properties) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall
be advanced by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the
related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes thereof, including, without
limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special
Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO
Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO
Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is
insufficient therefor, advanced by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) (i) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against
fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, as the
case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the
extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard
insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO
Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case
the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard
Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such
Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Certificate Account from its own
funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the
individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because
of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the
deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or in the
absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is
consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare
and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with
the terms
-71-
<PAGE>
of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the
Servicing Standards, may maintain, at its own expense, earthquake insurance on
REO Properties, provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates,
the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.
(ii) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any
Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single
interest or force placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming
the Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss
payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection
equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Servicer or
the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related
Mortgage Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Servicer or the
Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be
covered by such master single interest or force placed insurance policy,
the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged
Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium
payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing
Advance. Such master single interest or force placed policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying
with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or
more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been
maintained, deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the master single interest or
force-placed policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that
any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to
the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible
limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the
Servicing Standard.
(c) Each of the 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 with a Qualified Insurer covering the Servicer's and the
Special Servicer's, as applicable, officers and employees and other persons
acting on behalf of the Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its
activities under this Agreement with a deductible clause that in no event
exceeds the greater of (i) $100,000 or (ii) 5% of the face amount of the
Fidelity Bond or errors and omission policy as the case may be. The Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall cause the Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust, to be named as a loss payee on each such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long term debt
or the deposit obligations or claims-paying ability of the Servicer (or its
immediate or remote parent) is rated at least "___" by ___ and "___" by ___ (if
rated by ___), the Servicer shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with
respect to a fidelity bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. 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 Servicer or
the Special Servicer if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans or Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, as applicable, for FNMA or FHLMC. Coverage of the Servicer or
the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the
Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this
Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the
-72-
<PAGE>
requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Servicer will
promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in
their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and
omissions Insurance Policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the
Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such
bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.
The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each cause the Trustee
to be an additional loss payee on any policy currently in place or procured
pursuant to the requirements of this Section 3.07(c).
(d) At the time the Servicer determines in accordance with the
Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property shall be in a federally
designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made
available), the Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the
Mortgage Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall
default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent
available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Standards), flood insurance in respect thereof,
but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan permits the mortgagee to
require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with
the Servicing Standards. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, and
(ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. If the cost of any insurance described above
is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing
Advance for such costs, subject to Section 3.03(c).
(e) During all such times as any REO Property shall be located in a
federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause
to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as
determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standards),
a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less
than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with
respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the
related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) or, if the amount on deposit
therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
Section 3.08 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
(a) As to each Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the
nature of a "due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer
of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property; or
(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,
-73-
<PAGE>
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Servicer with the written consent of the Special Servicer with respect to
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Special Servicer with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of
record, shall[, subject to Section 6.07,] exercise (or 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 Standards.
(b) As to each Mortgage Loan which 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
Servicer with the written consent of the Special Servicer with respect to
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Special Servicer with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of
record, shall[, subject to Section 6.07,] exercise (or 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 Standards.
(c) Nothing in this Section 3.08 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 Sections 3.20 and 3.08(f),
neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall 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 3.08, other than the
identity of the Mortgagor pursuant to an assumption agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, with respect to
non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, shall not waive any rights under a
"due-on-encumbrance" clause with respect to any Mortgage Loan, or under any
"due-on-sale" clause with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans set forth on
Schedule 2 hereto unless it obtains from each Rating Agency a written
confirmation that such waiver will not cause a downgrading, qualification or
withdrawal of the then current rating assigned to any of the Certificates. To
the extent any fee charged by each Rating Agency in connection with rendering
such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to
be an expense of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, with
respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and the Special Servicer, with
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, shall not waive any rights under a
"due-on-sale" clause with respect
-74-
<PAGE>
to any of the Mortgage Loans which (together with any Mortgage Loans
cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) represent over 2% of the
outstanding principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans unless it obtains
from each Rating Agency a written confirmation that such waiver would not cause
a downgrading, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned
to any of the Certificates. To the extent any fee charged by each Rating Agency
in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the
related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust. The Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any such waivers to
each Rating Agency with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not permit a Mortgage Loan to be assumed
unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that such
assumption is consistent with the Servicing Standards, for such purposes taking
into account the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Mortgage Loan assuming the
transfer occurs (with leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and capital
expenditures deducted from cash flow in amounts equal to the originator's cap
items at origination and using taxes based on a fully assessed number calculated
off the proposed purchase price), and shall provide copies of the results of
such calculations to each Rating Agency showing a comparison of the recalculated
DSCR versus the DSCR at origination; provided, however, that so long as all
Holders of each Class of Certificates the ratings of which would otherwise be
downgraded, qualified or withdrawn consent to such waiver, such Rating Agency
confirmation will not be required.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.08 or
Section 3.20, the Servicer may, without any Rating Agency confirmation as
provided in clause (e) above or Special Servicer approval, (i) consent to
subordination of the related Mortgage Loan to such easement or right-of-way for
utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose, provided the
Servicer shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standards that
such easement or right-of-way shall not materially interfere with the
then-current use of the related Mortgaged Property, or the security intended to
be provided by such Mortgage, the related Mortgagor's ability to repay the
Mortgage Loan, or materially or adversely affect the value of such Mortgaged
Property, (ii) grant waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial
covenants) including late financial statements, (iii) grant releases of
non-material parcels of a Mortgaged Property (provided, that releases as to
which the related Mortgage Loan documents expressly require the mortgagee
thereunder to make such releases upon the satisfaction of certain conditions
shall be made as required by the Mortgage Loan documents), and (iv) grants of
easements and rights-of-way that do not materially affect the use or value of a
Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor's ability to make any payments with respect
to the related Mortgage Loan; provided, that any such modification, waiver or
amendment (w) would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates,
(x) would not constitute a "significant modification" of such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise
constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC, (y) agreeing to
such modification, waiver or amendment would be consistent with the Servicing
Standard and (z) agreeing to such modification, waiver or amendment shall not
violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any other
document contemplated hereby.
Section 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to [Section 6.07 and]
subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Servicing
-75-
<PAGE>
Standards, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing such Mortgage Loans, as
come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements can
be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. 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 Servicer shall not be required to
make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such
property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion
that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such
Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Servicer for
such Servicing Advance, and the Servicer has determined that such Servicing
Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be recoverable by
the Servicer out of the proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.05(a)(iv). The Special Servicer shall be responsible
for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings (such
costs and expenses to be advanced by the Servicer to the Special Servicer),
provided, that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred,
constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section
3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Servicer or the Special Servicer,
on behalf of the Trust, 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in its
reasonable and good faith judgment taking into account the factors described in
Section 3.18(d) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the
following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the
Servicing Standards. If and when the Special Servicer or the 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 or the Servicer, as
the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to
such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall
be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property
pursuant to this Section 3.09 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 shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance)
to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund
will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC
or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09,
neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee,
obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, 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
-76-
<PAGE>
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
determined in accordance with the Servicing Standards, based on an Environmental
Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who
regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six months
prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that taking such actions as
are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value
basis than 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 investigation, 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
taking such actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property is reasonably
likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not
taking such actions.
The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the
Servicer as a Servicing Advance, and the cost of any remedial, corrective or
other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence may be withdrawn from the Certificate Account at the
direction of the Special Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund pursuant to
Section 3.05(a)(ix); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the
Special Servicer shall, at the expense of the Trust Fund, perform such
additional environmental testing as it deems necessary and prudent to determine
whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding
sentence have been satisfied.
(d) If (i) 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 and (ii) there has been no
breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to
be made pursuant to Section 2 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements
for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase
such Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3 of the applicable Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall[, subject to Section
6.07,] 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 such
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage; provided, that, if
such Mortgage Loan has a then outstanding principal balance of greater than
$1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the
Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Servicer in writing of its intention to so
release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the
Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in writing of the Special
Servicer's intention to so release such Mortgaged Property, (iii) the Holders of
Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented to
such release within 30 days of the Trustee's distributing such notice
-77-
<PAGE>
(failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent) and
(iv) the Special Servicer shall have received written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that such release will not cause the downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of any of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates.
To the extent any fee charged by each Rating Agency in connection with rendering
such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to
be an expense of the Trust.
(e) The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of
any Environmental Assessments to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Directing
Certificateholder and the Servicer monthly regarding any 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 earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase
of the related Mortgage Loan by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release
of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property. The Trustee
shall forward all such reports to the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency
promptly following the receipt thereof. In addition, the Servicer will deliver
to the Class [F], Class [G] and Class [H] Certificateholders a copy of any such
written reports and any Environmental Assessments within 15 days after receipt
of such written reports and Environmental Assessments from the Special Servicer.
(f) The Special Servicer, with the reasonable cooperation of the
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 Special Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C, all forgiveness of
indebtedness. The Special 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 Standards, the advisability of the maintenance of
an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if 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 one of its Servicing Officers, 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 Servicer no later than the next succeeding P&I
Advance Determination Date.
Section 3.10 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that
payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the
Servicer or 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
-78-
<PAGE>
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Servicer to
enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven Business
Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if
the 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer. 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 Servicer or the Special
Servicer (or a designee), 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 of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation
which are required to be deposited into the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Trustee to the Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the
case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.
(c) Within seven 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 Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.11 Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and
REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate (in accordance with the same terms
of the related Mortgage Note as are applicable to the accrual of interest at the
Mortgage Rate) and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan and a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same
period
-79-
<PAGE>
respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or
deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to
any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event
occurs in respect thereof. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a
loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan and REO
Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by
Section 3.05(a). The Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees
in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related
payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO
Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to
the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Servicing Fee
may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the
transfer of all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.
The Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required
to deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional
servicing compensation in the form of 100% of all assumption application fees on
the Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and 50% of all
assumption and modification fees on Mortgage Loans that are not Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans (provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to 100%
of all modification fees with respect to the modifications described in Section
3.08(f)) to the extent that such fees are paid by the Mortgagor on Mortgage
Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and only to the extent that
all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
(including interest on Advances) have been paid. In addition, the Servicer shall
be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any charges for
processing borrower requests, beneficiary statements or demands and amounts
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the
extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to
deposit such amounts in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). The
Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form
of: (i) Penalty Charges received on the Mortgage Loans and accrued during such
time as such Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, but 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
(including interest on Advances) and all unpaid Advances and additional Trust
Fund expenses payable during the preceding 12-month period have been paid; (ii)
interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the
Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts in accordance with Section
3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with
respect to each such account for each period from any Distribution Date to the
immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date) and (iii) interest earned on deposits
in the Servicing Account which are not required by applicable law or the related
Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be required to pay
out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any
amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any
blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section
3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the
Certificate Account, and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(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 REO Loan. As to each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special
-80-
<PAGE>
Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate
(in accordance with the same terms of the related Mortgage Note as are
applicable to the accrual of interest at the Mortgage Rate) and shall be
computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months and, in connection
with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which
any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with
respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to
accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Special Servicing
Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, to the extent permitted
by Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of
the Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of 100% of all
assumption application fees, assumption fees and modification fees received on
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and 50% of all assumption and modification
fees received on any Mortgage Loan to the extent not required to be paid to the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a), but only to the extent actually collected
from the related Mortgagor and only to the extent that all amounts then due and
payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including those payable to
the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)) have been paid, shall be promptly paid
to the Special Servicer by the Servicer and shall not be required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). The Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form
of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Mortgage Loan at the Workout Fee
Rate on such Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be
payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; 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, it shall retain the right to receive any and all
Workout Fees payable with respect to Mortgage Loans that became Corrected
Mortgage Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation. The
successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout
Fees. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds
subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee
will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds received in connection
with the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Mortgage Loan Seller for a
breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan
documentation, the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the
Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 3.18(b), the Servicer or the
Special Servicer or the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
in connection with an optional termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
9.01. If, however, Liquidation Proceeds are received with respect to any
Corrected Mortgage Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a
Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of
such Liquidation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special
Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or Workout Fee, but
not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer
will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges on
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which
-81-
<PAGE>
accrued during such time as such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, but only to the extent actually collected from the related Mortgagor and
to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan (including interest on Advances) and all unpaid Advances and
additional Trust Fund expenses payable during the preceding 12-month period have
been paid. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than
management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its
Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it
insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent
such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Certificate Account
or the REO Account or as a Servicing Advance, and the Special Servicer shall not
be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(c) In determining the compensation of the Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution
Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan since the
prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the
Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan due on
such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances
previously paid to the Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(vi)
hereof and (iii) the Trust Fund for all unpaid Advances and additional Trust
Fund expenses incurred during the prior 12 months and any Penalty Charges
remaining thereafter shall be distributed pro rata to the Servicer and the
Special Servicer based upon the amount of Penalty Charges the Servicer or the
Special Servicer would otherwise have been entitled to receive during such
period without any such application.
Section 3.12 Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements.
(a) The Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause
to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged
Property securing a Mortgage Note with a Stated Principal Balance of (a)
$2,000,000 or more, at least once every 12 months and (b) less than $2,000,000,
at least once every 24 months, in each case commencing in the calendar year
200_; provided, however, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than 60 days
delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect the
related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan
becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long
as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The cost of
such inspection by the Special Servicer shall be an expense of the Trust Fund.
The Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, shall 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 that the preparer of such report deems material, (ii) any
sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which it has
knowledge, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property
that the preparer of such report deems material, (iv) any visible waste
committed on the Mortgaged Property and (v) photographs of each inspected
Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer and the Servicer shall deliver a copy
of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Servicer,
respectively, to the other, the Trustee and the Paying Agent within 5 Business
Days after request (or if such request is received before such report is
completed, within 5 Business Days after completion of such report). The Paying
Agent shall
-82-
<PAGE>
deliver a copy of each such report to each Rating Agency and the Controlling
Class Certificateholder upon request and to each Holder of a Class [F], Class
[G] and Class [H] Certificate, upon request (which such request may state that
such items be delivered until further notice).
(b) The Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall make
reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each Mortgagor annual operating
statements and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, financial
statements of such Mortgagor and any other reports required to be delivered
under the terms of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery of such items is required
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage.
(c) The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer, in the case of any non-Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each
related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent
rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial
statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage. In addition, the Special Servicer
shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to
be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such
items promptly following their preparation. The Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each deliver copies of all the foregoing items so collected
thereby to the Paying Agent, the Depositor and each other, in each case within
60 days of its receipt thereof, but in no event, in the case of annual
statements, later than June 30th of each year. The Paying Agent shall, upon
request, deliver copies of the foregoing items to the Underwriters, the Rating
Agencies, the Trustee, Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan
Sellers or, to the extent the Certificate Registrar has confirmed the Ownership
Interest in Certificates held thereby, any Certificate Owner, a copy (or image
in suitable electronic media) of each such report prepared by the Servicer or
the Special Servicer.
Within 45 days after receipt by the Servicer, as to non-Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, and within 20 days after receipt by the Special
Servicer, as to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, of any annual operating
statements or rent rolls with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property,
but in no event later than June 30th of each year, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall, based upon such operating statements or rent
rolls received, prepare (or, if previously prepared, update) the analysis of
operations and the Net Operating Income adjustment worksheet (the "Operating
Statement Analysis Report"), and the Special Servicer shall remit each Operating
Statement Analysis Report (in CMSA format) prepared by it, together with the
underlying operating statements and rent rolls, to the Servicer in a format
reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. All Operating Statements Analysis Reports
shall be maintained by the Servicer with respect to each Mortgaged Property and
REO Property, and the Servicer shall forward copies thereof (in each case,
promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof)
to the Paying Agent and the Special Servicer, together with the related
operating statements or rent rolls. The Paying Agent shall, upon request and to
the extent such items have been delivered to the Paying Agent by the Servicer,
deliver to the Trustee, the Underwriters, the Rating Agencies, the Mortgage Loan
Sellers, any Certificateholder or, to the extent the Certificate Registrar has
confirmed the Ownership Interest in the Certificates held thereby, any
Certificate Owner, a copy of such Operating Statement Analysis (or update
thereof) and the related operating statement or rent rolls. The Servicer shall
maintain an Operating
-83-
<PAGE>
Statement Analysis Report with respect to each Mortgaged Property and REO
Property. Each Operating Statement Analysis Report shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or, at the discretion of the Servicer,
provided that no less information is provided than is set forth in Exhibit J in
a CMSA format.
(d) At or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first
Business Day following each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall
prepare and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer the following
reports with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties, providing the information required of the Special Servicer in an
electronic format, reasonably acceptable to the Servicer as of such
Determination Date: (i) a delinquent loan status report, (ii) a comparative
financial status report, (iii) an historical loss estimate report; (iv) an
historical loan modification report and (v) an REO status report.
(e) Not later than 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day after each Determination Date, the Servicer shall prepare (if and
to the extent necessary) and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and
the Paying Agent data files relating to the following reports: (i) to the extent
received at the time required, the most recent delinquent loan status report,
historical loss estimate report, historical loan modification report and REO
status report received from the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d),
(ii) the most recent CMSA property file, CMSA loan periodic update file and
comparative financial status report (in each case combining the reports prepared
by the Special Servicer and Servicer), and (iii) a watch list report with
information that is current as of such Determination Date.
(f) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer the reports
set forth in Section 3.12(c) and Section 3.12(d), and the Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee and the Paying Agent the reports set forth in Section 3.12(e), in
an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer, the Paying
Agent, the Servicer and the Trustee. The Servicer may, absent manifest error,
conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.12(e) and Section 3.12 (d). The Trustee and the Paying Agent may,
absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(e). In the case of information or reports to
be furnished by the Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent pursuant to
Section 3.12(e), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn,
based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.12(c) or Section 3.12(d) and to the extent that such reports are to
be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12 (c)
or Section 3.12(d) the Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such
information or reports to the Trustee or the Paying Agent until it has received
the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Servicer
shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports
required by Section 3.12(e) caused by the Special Servicer's failure to timely
provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(c) or Section
3.12(d) of this Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding foregoing, however, the failure of the Servicer
or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be
disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section
3.12 to the extent the Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such
disclosure, in the good faith reasonable belief of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision
of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans or
-84-
<PAGE>
Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such
information or any additional information to any Person so long as such
disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standards. The
Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any
disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting
liability on the part of any other party hereto).
Section 3.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer will deliver to the
Trustee, with a copy to the Paying Agent and Depositor, on or before _______ of
each year, beginning ______, 200_, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each
signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year and of
its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has maintained an
effective internal control system relating to its servicing of the Mortgage
Loans serviced by it and has fulfilled in all material respects its obligations
under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a material
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and (iii) the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has received no notice regarding
qualification, or challenging the status, of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC from the Internal Revenue Service or any other
governmental agency or body or, if it has received any such notice, specifying
the details thereof. A copy of such Officer's Certificate may be obtained by
Certificateholders upon written request to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section
8.12 hereof.
Section 3.14 Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer at their own expense
shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Rating Agency, on or before ____ of
each year, commencing with ___________, 200_, a report stating that (i) it has
obtained from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, a letter
of representation regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, which includes an assertion that
the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has maintained an
effective internal control system with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans and has complied with certain minimum mortgage loan servicing standards
(to the extent applicable to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans),
identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers
established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, 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 assertion is fairly stated in all material respects,
subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that, in the opinion of such
firm, such standards require it to report. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to the 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
-85-
<PAGE>
accordance with the same standards (rendered within 1 year of such statement)
with respect to those Sub-Servicers.
Section 3.15 Access to Certain Information.
Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause
to be provided to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that is, or is
affiliated with, a federally insured financial institution, the Trustee, the
Depositor, each Rating Agency, to the Servicer, or to the Special Servicer, as
applicable, and to the OTS, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder, and each Holder of a Class [F],
Class [G] and Class [H] Certificate, access to any documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund within its control which 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, designated by it; provided, however, that the Class [F], Class [G] and Class
[H] Certificateholders and Certificate Owners shall be required to pay a
reasonable and customary fee for access to the aforementioned information, shall
pay their own photocopying costs and execute a reasonable and customary
confidentiality agreement with respect to such information. Nothing in this
Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Servicer and the Special
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15. The Servicer and
the Special Servicer may each deny any of the foregoing persons access to
confidential information or any intellectual property which the Servicer or the
Special Servicer is restricted by license or contract from disclosing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
maintain separate from such confidential information and intellectual property,
all documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans that is not confidential.
Section 3.16 Title to REO Property; REO Account.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee or a nominee thereof on
behalf of the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year
following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO
Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for
purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either
(i) is granted an extension of time (an "REO Extension") by the Internal Revenue
Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee and the
Servicer an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid as a Servicing
Advance), addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the
third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will
not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust
Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC constituted thereby as
defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or Certificates are outstanding. If the
Special Servicer is
-86-
<PAGE>
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 sell such REO
Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or 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 Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05(a).
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the
Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on
behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), for the
retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO
Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within 1 Business Day after receipt,
all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds
received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer
shall give notice to the Trustee and the Servicer of the location of the REO
Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior
to any change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds
necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance
and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on
deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On each Determination
Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into
the Certificate Account the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each
REO Property during the most recently ended Due Period, net of (i) any
withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii)
Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided,
however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance
with the Servicing Standards, such portion of such balance as may be necessary
to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management
and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property.
In addition, on each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall provide the
Servicer with a written accounting of amounts deposited in the Certificate
Account on such date.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records,
on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits
to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or (c).
Section 3.17 Management of REO Property.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) solely for the purpose of its
-87-
<PAGE>
timely 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 Fund 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. Subject to the foregoing [and Section
6.07], 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 and the Trustee (as holder of the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) (as determined by the Special Servicer in
its good faith and reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing
Standards). Subject to this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer may allow the
Trust Fund to earn "net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Code Section 860G(d) if it determines that earning such income is in the best
interests of Certificateholders on a net after-tax basis as compared with net
leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis.
In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than 1 Business Day following
receipt of such funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it
with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw
from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect
to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management,
leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:
(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, if
applicable; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect
of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) -
(iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Depositor) if such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advances. The Special Servicer shall give the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent not less than five Business Days' notice, together with all
information reasonably requested by the Servicer (upon which the Servicer may
conclusively rely) to the extent in the possession of the Special Servicer or
readily obtainable by the Special Servicer before the date on which the Servicer
is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to an REO Property;
provided, however, that only two Business Days' notice shall be required in
respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency
basis (which may include, without limitation, Servicing Advances required to
make tax or insurance payments).
-88-
<PAGE>
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special
Servicer shall not:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New
Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will
give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease
other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan
became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the
Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an
Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date
more than 90 days after its acquisition date;
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance)
to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of
Counsel. Except as limited above in this Section 3.17 and by Section 3.17(c),
the Special Servicer shall be permitted to cause the Trust Fund to earn "net
income from foreclosure property," subject to the standard of Section 3.01(a).
(c) The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within 90 days
of the acquisition date thereof, 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;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an
expense of the Trust Fund) shall be reasonable and customary in light of
the nature and locality of the Mortgaged 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 (a)
hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and
such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve
-89-
<PAGE>
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.
(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the
Paying Agent and the Servicer, and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee, a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount
of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes,
resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the
furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the
receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect
of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.17(a) and 3.17(b).
Section 3.18 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(a) [Subject to Section 6.07], each of the Servicer and the Special
Servicer may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage
Loan or REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Section 3.18 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by
Section 2.03(b) and Section 9.01.
(b) In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage
Loan and the Special Servicer has determined in good faith that such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan will become subject to foreclosure proceedings, the Special
Servicer shall promptly so notify in writing the Trustee, the Servicer and the
Directing Certificateholder. The Directing Certificateholder, the Special
Servicer or the Servicer (in that order) may at its option purchase such
Defaulted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. If the Directing Certificateholder within 30 days of such notice from the
Special Servicer fails to indicate in writing to the Special Servicer that it
shall purchase the Defaulted Mortgage Loan within 60 days of such notice, and if
the Directing Certificateholder fails to so purchase, and if the Servicer within
45 days of such notice from the Special Servicer fails to indicate in writing to
the Special Servicer that it shall purchase the Defaulted Mortgage Loan within
75 days of such notice, and if the Servicer fails to so purchase, then the
Special Servicer may sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
3.18(c) below. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan purchased
hereunder shall be deposited into the Certificate Account, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Officer's Certificate from the Special Servicer to the effect that
such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the
Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as the case
may be, the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Directing Certificateholder, the Special Servicer or
the Servicer (in that order), as the case may be, ownership of such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan.
-90-
<PAGE>
(c) [Subject to Section 6.07], the Special Servicer may offer to
sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan not otherwise purchased by the Directing
Certificateholder, the Special Servicer or the Servicer pursuant to subsection
(b) above, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standards, that such a sale would produce a greater recovery on a net
present value basis than would any other form of liquidation of the related
Mortgaged Property. Such offering shall be made in a commercially reasonable
manner for a period of not less than 20 days or more than 90 days. The Special
Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid received from any Person for such
Defaulted Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price
therefor; provided, that in the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer
shall accept the highest cash bid received from any Person that is determined by
the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In the
absence of any bid determined as provided below to be fair, the Special Servicer
shall proceed with respect to such Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with
Section 3.09.
The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit bids
for each REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a
fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a). Such
solicitation shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner for a period of
not less than 90 days or more than 270 days. The Special Servicer shall accept
the highest cash bid received from any Person for such REO Property in an amount
at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor; provided that in the absence of
any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid received
from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price
for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will
be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time
constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the Special Servicer shall dispose
of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer
shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the
circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding
cash bid, regardless of from whom received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Special Servicer shall not be obligated by the foregoing or otherwise to accept
the highest bid if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the
Servicing Standards, that rejection of such bid would be in the best interests
of the Certificateholders. In the event that the Special Servicer determines
with respect to any REO Property that the offers being made with respect thereto
are not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and that the end of the
three-year period referred to in Section 3.16(a) with respect to such REO
Property is approaching, the Special Servicer shall seek an extension of such
three-year period in the manner described in Section 3.16(a); provided, however,
that the Special Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the
Servicing Standards, to sell any REO Property prior to two years prior to the
Rated Final Distribution Date.
The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and the Servicer not
less than three Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to sell any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property. No Interested Person shall be obligated
to submit a bid to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its
individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may bid for or purchase any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
(d) Whether any cash bid constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as the case may be, for purposes of Section
3.18(c), shall be determined
-91-
<PAGE>
by the Special Servicer, if the highest bidder is a Person other than the
Special Servicer, a Holder of the Controlling Class or an Affiliate of either,
and by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is the Special Servicer, a Holder of
the Controlling Class or an Affiliate of either. In determining whether any bid
received from the Special Servicer, a Holder of the Controlling Class or an
Affiliate of either represents a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or
any REO Property, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an
Independent MAI-designated appraiser or other expert in real estate matters
retained by the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund. In
determining whether any bid constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or any REO Property, such appraiser or other expert in real estate matters
shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors,
the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Defaulted Mortgage
Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or
REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of
any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a). The
Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall in all
cases be deemed a fair price.
(e) Subject to subsections (a) through (d) above, the Special
Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee in negotiating and taking any other
action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in
connection therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property
shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and if
such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither
the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any
Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the
Special Servicer or the Trustee. (f) Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or
any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions
or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
Section 3.19 [Intentionally Omitted]
Section 3.20 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) Except as set forth in this Section 3.20(a), Section 3.20(i) and
Section 3.08, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or
amendment of a Mortgage Loan, and, except as provided in the following
paragraph, Section 3.08(e), Section 3.08(f) and in Section 3.20(d), no Mortgage
Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan may be modified, waived or
amended, provided, that the Special Servicer may agree to extend the maturity
date of a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
provided, further, that, except as provided in the following sentence, no such
extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.20(a) shall be for a period of
more than twelve months from the original maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or
shall extend the maturity date beyond the earlier of (i) two years prior to the
Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by
a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty years
prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend
the Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan for more than twelve months from and after
the original maturity date of such Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage Loan is not in
default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, the
Special Servicer must provide the Trustee with an opinion of counsel
-92-
<PAGE>
(at the expense of the related Mortgagor) that such extension would not
constitute a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b). Any substitution of collateral
shall be treated hereunder as a modification or amendment of the applicable
Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 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 or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein
or correct any error, provided, that, if the Mortgage Loan is not in default or
default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or
amendment would not be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), and provided, further,
that the proposed modification or amendment will not cause (x) either the
Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for
purposes of the Code or (y) either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC
to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion
thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage
Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan
documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless
either (i) such substitution is at the unilateral option of the Mortgagor or
otherwise occurs automatically pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan,
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3, or (ii) it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution would not be
a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
(b) [Subject to Section 6.07], if the Special Servicer determines
that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the
forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of
collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or otherwise, the release
of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which a payment default or
other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material
default is, in the Special Servicer's judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably
likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant
discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) than liquidation of
such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer may, but is not
required to, [with the approval or deemed approval of the Extension Adviser, in
the case of an extension of the maturity of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
beyond the third anniversary of such Mortgage Loan's original maturity date,]
agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.20(b) and Section 3.20(c).
The Special Servicer shall use its best efforts to the extent
possible to cause each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior
to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such
modification, waiver or amendment would:
-93-
<PAGE>
(i) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) two years prior to
the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate and not also the related
fee interest, the date occurring twenty years prior to the expiration of
such leasehold;
(ii) reduce the related Net Mortgage Rate on any such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan to less than the lesser of (a) the original Net
Mortgage Rate and (b) ___% per annum; or
(iii) provide for the deferral of interest unless (a) interest
accrues thereon, generally, at the related Mortgage Rate and (b) the
aggregate amount of such deferred interest does not exceed 10% of the
unpaid principal balance of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(c) Any provision of this Section 3.20 to the contrary
notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan is in default or default with
respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this paragraph
shall be collected by any Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on
behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification,
waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan (unless the amount thereof is specified
in the related Mortgage Note) 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 Regulations Section
1.860G-2(b).
(d) To the extent consistent with this Agreement, the Special
Servicer may agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan
that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable if
it provides the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such
expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to
be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the
contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a "significant
modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause (x) any of the Lower-Tier REMIC or
the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purposes of the Code or
(y) any of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer
may not waive the payment of any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charge
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan.
(e) In the event of a modification which creates Mortgage Deferred
Interest, such Mortgage Deferred Interest will be allocated to reduce the
Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class or Classes of Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.06.
(f) Subject to Section 3.20(c), the Servicer and the Special
Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for
consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other
matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Servicer's or the Special
Servicer's, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the
instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is permitted by
the terms
-94-
<PAGE>
of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection
with such request.
(g) All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments
of the Mortgage Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.20 shall be in
writing, signed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and
the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if
such guarantor's signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance
with the Servicing Standards).
(h) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall notify the
Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Mortgage Loan Sellers (if
such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Servicer or Subservicer of such Mortgage Loan
or a Certificateholder) and each other in writing of any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall
deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian for deposit in the related
Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business
Days) following the execution thereof. In addition, the Special Servicer shall
promptly send a copy of such a modification, waiver or amendment to the
Servicer. Within 15 days of the Servicer's delivery of the aforesaid
modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee or its receipt from the Special
Servicer, as applicable, the Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to each
Holder of a Class [F], Class [G] and Class [H] Certificate.
(i) To the extent that either the Servicer or Special Servicer
waives any Penalty Charges in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the respective
amounts of additional servicing compensation payable to the Servicer and the
Special Servicer out of such Penalty Charges shall be reduced proportionately
based upon the respective amounts that had been payable thereto out of such
Penalty Charges immediately prior to such waiver.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the
Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property
pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule
4 (or any portion thereof) unless such defeasance complies with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8) and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, has received (i) a certificate of an Independent certified public
accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows
sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at
maturity) on such Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms
of the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at
the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, will have a first priority perfected security interest in
such substituted Mortgage Property; provided, however, that to the extent the
related Mortgage Loan documents provide the lender with discretion, the Servicer
shall require that the related Mortgagor pay the cost of any such opinion as a
condition to granting such defeasance, (iii) to the extent required under the
related Mortgage Loan documents, or to the extent the Mortgage Loan documents
provide the lender with discretion, the Servicer shall require the borrower to
establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor borrower, and (iv) to
the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Servicer shall
require the related Mortgagor to obtain written confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that such defeasance will not cause the
-95-
<PAGE>
downgrade, withdrawal or modification of the then current ratings of the
Certificates; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not require the related
Mortgagor to obtain such written confirmation from [__________] to the extent
that such Mortgagor has obtained the certificate required pursuant to clause (i)
above, obtained the opinion required pursuant to clause (ii) above and
established the single purpose entity pursuant to clause (iii) above.
Section 3.21 Transfer of Servicing Between Servicer and Special
Servicer; Record Keeping; Asset Status Report.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall immediately give notice
thereof, and shall deliver the related Mortgage File and Credit File to the
Special Servicer and shall use its best efforts to provide the Special Servicer
with all information, documents and records (including records stored
electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the
Mortgage Loan either in the Servicer's possession or otherwise available to the
Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect
thereto. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to comply with the preceding
sentence within 5 Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing
Transfer Event and in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and
administrator of such Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the
servicing of such Mortgage Loan, which will commence upon receipt by the Special
Servicer of the Mortgage File. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Underwriters, the Placement Agents and to each Holder of a
Class [F], Class [G] and Class [H] Certificate a copy of the notice of such
Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Servicer to the Special Servicer
pursuant to this Section. The Paying Agent shall deliver to each Controlling
Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event
provided by the Servicer pursuant to this Section.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than
an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three consecutive
Monthly Payments (provided, that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is
foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and (ii) for
such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment of such Mortgage
Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing with respect
thereto, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall
return the related Mortgage File and Credit File to the Servicer (or copies
thereof if copies only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving
such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Credit File to the Servicer,
the Special Servicer's obligation to service such Corrected Mortgage Loan shall
terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer such
Mortgage Loan shall re-commence.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer will provide to the Trustee originals of documents included within the
definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (with a
copy of each such original to the Servicer), and provide the Servicer with
copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information including
correspondence with the related Mortgagor.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.12(d), the Servicer
shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially
Serviced Mortgage
-96-
<PAGE>
Loans and REO Properties and shall provide the Special Servicer with any
information in its possession required by the Special Servicer to perform its
duties under this Agreement provided that the Servicer shall only be required to
maintain in such records to the extent the Special Servicer has provided such
information to the Servicer.
(d) No later than 30 days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Servicer,
the Mortgage Loan Sellers (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not Servicer or
Subservicer of such Mortgage Loan), each Rating Agency, each Class [H]
Certificateholder and subsequent Controlling Class Certificateholder certified
as such by the Certificate Registrar (who shall also furnish the address of each
Controlling Class Certificateholder) and the Directing Certificateholder a
report (the "Asset Status Report") with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the
related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be
required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Directing Certificateholder if
they are the same entity. 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
Standards, 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;
(iv) the Special Servicer's recommendations on how such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status and returned
to the Servicer for regular servicing or otherwise realized upon;
(v) a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property;
and (vi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in
light of the Servicing Standards.
If within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the
Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in
writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined
in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may
not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standards
or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If the Directing
Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer
will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Directing
Certificateholder, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer a new Asset Status
Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such
disapproval. The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as
described above in this Section 3.21(d) until the Directing Certificateholder
shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10
Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status
-97-
<PAGE>
Report or until the Special Servicer makes one of the determinations described
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Directing
Certificateholder and the Special Servicer have been unable to agree upon an
Asset Status Report with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan within 90
days of the Directing Certificateholder's receipt of the initial Asset Status
Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the actions described in the most
recent Asset Status Report submitted to the Directing Certificateholder by the
Special Servicer. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset
Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided
such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the
terms of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (i)
may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property, take any action set forth in such Asset Status
Report before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer
has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and it has made a
reasonable effort to contact the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) in any
case, shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best
interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standards. Upon
making such determination, the Special Servicer shall notify the Paying Agent
and the Trustee of such rejection and deliver to the Paying Agent and the
Trustee a proposed notice to Certificateholders which shall include a copy of
the Asset Status Report, and the Paying Agent shall send such notice to all
Certificateholders. If the majority of such Certificateholders, as determined by
Voting Rights, fail, within 5 days of the Paying Agent's sending such notice, to
reject such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the same.
If the Asset Status Report is rejected by the Certificateholders, the Special
Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this
Section 3.21(e). The Paying Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Trust Fund for the reasonable expenses of providing such notices.
The Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the
Mortgagor for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and take such actions
consistent with the Servicing Standards and the related Asset Status Report. The
Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the related Asset
Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in
accordance with the Servicing Standards.
No direction of the Directing Certificateholder shall (a) 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 Standards and to
maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, or
(b) result in the imposition of a "prohibited transaction" or "prohibited
contribution" tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or their officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or
liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer's,
Trustee's or the Servicer's responsibilities under this Agreement.
(e) Upon receiving notice of (i) the occurrence of the events
described in clause (iv) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without
regard to the 60 day period set forth therein) or (ii) the request by a
Mortgagor for the amendment or modification of a Mortgage Loan which is not a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan for which either the consent of the Special
Servicer is required or the Special Servicer is responsible for such amendment
or
-98-
<PAGE>
modification pursuant to Section 3.20, the Servicer shall immediately give
notice thereof, and shall deliver copies of the related Mortgage File and Credit
File to the Special Servicer and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Mortgage Loan
and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with
the related Mortgagor and prepare for any such proceedings. The Servicer shall
use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within 5
Business Days of the occurrence of each such event. Upon receiving such
documents and information, the Special Servicer shall treat such Mortgage Loan
as if it were a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the occurrence of any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall not in
and of itself be considered a Servicing Transfer Event and, unless a Servicing
Transfer Event has occurred with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage
Loan and no fees shall be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to such
Mortgage Loan other than any related modification, assumption or extension fees
provided for herein; provided, however, that in the event a Mortgage Loan
subject to clause (i) above becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such
Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
upon the occurrence of the event described in clause (i) above and a Special
Servicing Fee shall be paid with respect thereto.
Section 3.22 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide
for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations
under Articles III and IV hereof; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as
amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material
respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable
conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Servicer shall for any
reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation,
by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date
of assumption, obligations of the Servicer under such agreement, or,
alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the
circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof); (iii)
provides that the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) shall be a third
party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the
extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Servicer
thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, any successor Servicer or any Certificateholder shall
have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising
therefrom; (iv) 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 (v) does not
permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be
satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund. Any successor Servicer hereunder
shall, upon becoming successor Servicer, be assigned and shall assume any
Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Servicer (subject to Section
3.22(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the
Servicer may provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder shall
terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such
Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however,
that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide that the Sub-Servicer will continue
to make all Advances and calculations and prepare
-99-
<PAGE>
all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Servicing Fee as if no
Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and
the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such
incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof,
entered into by it promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer
include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the
Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer
to satisfy the obligations of the Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be
deemed to have been advanced by the Servicer out of its own funds and,
accordingly, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same
manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Servicer, and,
for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in
accordance with Section 3.03(e), such interest to be allocable between the
Servicer and such Sub-Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment.
The Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor in
writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer may not enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements and may not assign any of its servicing obligations hereunder.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in
the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service
are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the 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 under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement; provided, however, with respect to the Sub-Servicing Agreement (the
"[__________] Sub-Servicing Agreement") with [__________] ("[__________]") dated
as of the date hereof, so long as [__________] is an approved master servicer by
each of the Rating Agencies, the Servicer's obligation to monitor [__________]
shall not require the Servicer to exercise approval rights with respect to the
actions of [__________] pursuant to the [__________] 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 Servicer would
require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall have the
right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(d) In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor
Servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Servicer under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, at its expense, shall 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
-100-
<PAGE>
reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement,
the Servicer represents and warrants that it shall remain obligated and liable
to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof 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, and
the Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder from its own
funds. In no event shall the Trust Fund bear any termination fee required to be
paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer's termination under
any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(f) The Trustee shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such
Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held
liable for any negligence, and shall be indemnified by the Sub-Servicer, with
respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by a Sub-Servicer.
(g) Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event
the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor Servicer, the Trustee or such
successor Servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing
Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee and any successor Servicer shall assume the [__________]
Sub-Servicing Agreement unless [__________] has been terminated in accordance
with the succeeding paragraph.
In the event [__________] is not an acceptable master servicer to
[__________], and does not have an approved servicer rating from [__________] at
the time the Trustee or a successor Trustee becomes successor Servicer,
[__________] shall have 30 days after notice from the Trustee or the successor
Trustee to either (i) cure such failure or (ii) assign such Sub-Servicing
Agreement to a Successful Sub-Servicing Bidder (as defined below). If
[__________] fails to either (i) cure such failure or (ii) assign such
Sub-Servicing Agreement to a Successful Sub-Servicing Bidder, the Trustee or the
successor Servicer may terminate the [__________] Sub-Servicing Agreement.
A "Successful Sub-Servicing Bidder" will be any prospective
subservicer candidate reasonably acceptable to the Depositor and acceptable to
the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by written confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that the assumption by such Successful Sub-Servicing Bidder of the
[__________] Sub-Servicing Agreement will not cause the downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of the then current ratings of the Certificates, which candidate
would be eligible to act as Sub-Servicer hereunder.
(h) Promptly (but in no event later than 5 Business Days) after the
execution of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall forward a copy of
such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the Trustee and the Special Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall comply with the terms of each such Sub-Servicing
Agreement to the extent the terms thereof are not inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement and the Special Servicer's obligations hereunder. With respect to
Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer shall,
among
-101-
<PAGE>
other things, remit amounts, deliver reports and information, and afford access
to facilities and information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required
to be remitted, delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof within a sufficient period of time to allow the
Sub-Servicer to fulfill its obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and
in no event later than 1 Business Day prior to the applicable Determination Date
(or such other date as specified herein).
Section 3.23 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer.
(a) The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for
its own benefit and the benefit of the Certificateholders, and to the Depositor,
the Special Servicer and the Fiscal Agent, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) The Servicer is a [__________] duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of [__________], and the
Servicer 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;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer,
and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
Servicer, will not violate the Servicer's [_____] and [_____] or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is
applicable to it or any of its assets, or result in the violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Servicer or
its property is subject;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and

Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond the third anniversary of such Mortgage
Loan's original maturity date, unless the Extension Adviser elected pursuant to
Section 3.26 shall have approved such extension in writing within 10 days after
receiving from the Special Servicer the information, analysis and certification
required by Section 3.25(b). If a written objection to such extension from the
Extension Adviser has not been received by the Special Servicer within said
10-day period, then the Extension Adviser's approval shall be deemed to have
been given.
(b) The Special Servicer shall, with respect to any proposed
extension of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan beyond the third anniversary of
such Mortgage Loan's original maturity date, prepare and deliver to the
Extension Adviser, a summary of such proposed extension and an analysis
summarizing the basis of its conclusion that such extension is reasonably likely
to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis (the relevant discounting
-105-

to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate) than liquidation of such
Mortgage Loan. Such analysis shall specify the basis on which the Special
Servicer has made such determination, including the status of any existing
material default or the grounds for concluding that a payment default is
imminent. The Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Extension Adviser with
such information as is reasonably requested by the Extension Adviser (including,
without limitation, operating statements, rents rolls, appraisals, environmental
reports, inspection reports and financial statements of the applicable
Mortgagor) in connection with any proposed extension that is in the Special
Servicer's possession or is reasonably obtainable by the Special Servicer. The

Officer's Certificate confirming that all conditions precedent to the granting
of any such extension set forth in this Agreement (other than the approval of
the Extension Adviser) have been satisfied.
(c) No direction of the Extension Adviser shall (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 Standards and to
maintain the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, or
(ii) result in the imposition of a "prohibited transaction" or "prohibited
contribution" tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (iii) expose the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the

(a) [The Class [A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E]
Certificateholders will be entitled to elect, and shall be deemed to have

resignation, removal or determination contemplated by Section 3.26(a), the
Trustee shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Class [A], Class [B], Class
[C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates, if any, for the purpose of electing
an Extension Adviser. Notice of any such meeting of such Holders shall be mailed
or delivered to each Holder not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the meeting; provided, however, that notice of the initial election shall be
mailed or delivered no later than 3 days after the Closing Date. The notice
shall state the place and the time of the meeting, which may be held by
telephone. Certificateholders representing a majority (by Certificate Balance)
of the Certificates of the applicable Class or Classes, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the nomination of an
Extension Adviser. At the meeting, each such Holder shall be entitled to
nominate one Person to act as Extension Adviser. The Trustee shall cause the
election of the Extension Adviser to be held as soon thereafter as convenient.
(c) Each Holder of a Class [A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and
Class [E] Certificate shall be entitled to vote in each election of the
Extension Adviser. The voting in each election of the Extension Adviser shall be
in writing mailed, 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 such
Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all the Class
[A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates, which votes are
cast for a single Person, such Person shall be, upon such Person's acceptance,
the Extension Adviser. In the event that after the Closing Date an Extension
Adviser shall have resigned or been removed and a successor Extension Adviser
shall not have been elected, there shall be no Extension Adviser.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Special Servicer
shall not have any right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain
approval or direction from an Extension Adviser, and provisions of this
Agreement relating thereto shall be of no effect, in any event during any such
period that there is no Extension Adviser.
(d) The Extension Adviser may be removed at any time by the written
vote, copies of which must be delivered to the Trustee, of Holders of such
Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all the Class
[A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates.
(e) The Trustee shall act as judge of each election of an Extension
Adviser, and, absent manifest error, the determination of the results of any
such election by the Trustee shall be conclusive. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section 3.26, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for any such election. Upon election of a
successor Extension Adviser, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by
first class mail to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Directing Certificateholder, the Underwriters, the
Placement Agents, the Holders of the Class [F], Class [G] and Class [H]
Certificates and each of the Rating Agencies.]

[The Extension Adviser will be acting solely as a representative of
the interests of the Class [A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E]
Certificateholders, and shall not have
-107-
<PAGE>
any responsibility or liability to the Trust Fund or any other Class or Classes
of Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of
any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Extension Adviser
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 negligent disregard of obligations or duties hereunder. By its acceptance of
a Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that the
Extension Adviser may take actions that favor the interests of one or more
Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the Certificates and that the
Extension Adviser may have special relationships and interests that conflict
with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates and, absent willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or negligent disregard of obligations or
duties on the part of the Extension Adviser, agrees to take no action against
the Extension Adviser or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals
or agents as a result of such a special relationship or conflict.]

[LA-1] Uncertificated Interest and the Class [LWAC] Uncertificated Interest)

Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates, in each

distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of principal

collectively as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount," and shall be made by the
Paying Agent by depositing such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount in the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account.
As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interest (other than the Class [LWAC] Uncertificated Interest) equals
the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto. The
initial principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest equals the
respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass-through rate with
respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest will be the rate per annum
set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.
Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on
each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount
shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (but only to
the extent of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date
remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).
(c) On and after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate
Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all been reduced to zero (without
regard to any amounts of Collateral Support Deficit remaining unreimbursed), the
Principal Distribution Amount will be distributed, pro rata (based upon
Certificate Balances), among the Class [A] Certificates without regard to the
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(a)(ii).

in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account (notwithstanding that all principal and

amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account that represent
Prepayment Premiums actually collected on Mortgage Loans or REO Loans during the
related Due Period and remitted in respect of the Class [LA-1] Uncertificated
Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(d), and shall distribute to each of the Class
[A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates, for each such
Class an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of principal distributed with respect to such Class pursuant to
Section 4.01(a) on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the
total amount of principal distributed to all Classes of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01(a) on such Distribution Date, (b) 25% and (c) the total amount of
Prepayment Premiums collected during the related Due Period. Any Prepayment
Premiums received during the related Due Period with respect to such Mortgage
Loans or REO Loans and remitted in respect of the Class [LA-1] Uncertificated
Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(d), remaining after such distributions shall
be distributed on the Class [X] Certificates.

Certificates have each been reduced to zero, the Paying Agent shall withdraw any

Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(d), and shall distribute to each of the Class
[A], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates, for each such
Class an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of principal distributed with respect to such Class pursuant to
Section 4.01(a) on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the
total amount of principal distributed to all Classes of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01(a) on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for
the related principal prepayment and such Class of Certificates and (c) the
aggregate amount of Yield Maintenance Charges collected on such principal
prepayment during the related Due Period. Any Yield Maintenance Charges received
during the related Due Period with respect to such Mortgage Loans and remitted
in respect of the Class [LA-1] Uncertificated Interest pursuant to Section
4.01(d) remaining after such distributions shall be distributed on the Class [X]
Certificates.
Following the reduction of the Certificate Balances of the Class
[A-1], Class [A-2], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D] and Class [E] Certificates
to zero, the Paying Agent shall distribute 100% of any Yield Maintenance Charges
and Prepayment Premiums actually received during the related Due Period with
respect to such Mortgage Loans and remitted in respect of the Class [LA-1]
Uncertificated Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(d), to the Class [X]
Certificates.

(f) 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 specifically provided in Sections 4.01(g), 4.01(h) and 9.01, 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 and the Paying Agent with
wiring instructions no less than 5 Business Days prior to the related Record
Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order
applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates) and is the registered owner of
Certificates with an aggregate initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount,
as applicable, of at least $5,000,000, 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 Collateral Support Deficit 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.
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
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Paying Agent, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Underwriters, the Placement Agents or the Fiscal Agent shall have
any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Paying Agent expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of
any amount of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to such Class of
Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Paying Agent
shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, mail to each
Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Paying Agent expects that the final distribution with
respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein
specified; and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their
-114-
<PAGE>
Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and
credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Paying Agent shall mail a
second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent,
directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates
as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in
trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary
of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders
shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section
4.01(g).
(h) Distributions in reimbursement of Collateral Support Deficit
previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts
and manner specified in Section 4.01(a) to the Holders of the respective Class
otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on
the relevant Distribution Date; provided, that all distributions in
reimbursement of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to a Class of
Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that
surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be
made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the
Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be
made in accordance with Section 11.05 at such last address. The amount of the
distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate
Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the
check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount
thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such
prior Holder, and the Paying Agent shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in
the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(g) as if such Holder had failed to
surrender its Certificates.
(i) [On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period shall be
distributed to the holders of the Class S Certificates.]

In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (i), (ii),
(xi), (xviii) and (xix) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount
in the aggregate for all Certificates of each applicable Class and per
Definitive Certificate.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Paying Agent shall furnish to the Trustee and each Person who at any
time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate, a statement
containing the information set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (xi) above as to
the applicable Class, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such person was a Certificateholder, together with such
other information as the Paying Agent deems necessary or desirable, or that a
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner reasonably requests, to enable
Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such
obligation of the Paying Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Paying
Agent pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in
force.
On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Depositor, to each Rating Agency, to each Holder of a Residual Certificate, to
the Servicer, to the Special Servicer, to the Trustee, to the Fiscal Agent, to
an agent designated by the Directing Certificateholder (such agent shall
initially be the____________________________________), and to any other party
that the Depositor may designate, a copy of the Distribution Date Statement
forwarded to the Holders of the Regular Certificates on such Distribution Date.
The Paying Agent shall make available the Distribution Date
Statement through its home page on the internet. The Paying Agent hereby
acknowledges and agrees that its home page as of the date hereof is located at
"www._______.com" on the world wide web. In
-118-
<PAGE>
addition, if the Depositor so directs the Paying Agent, and on terms acceptable
to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall make certain other information and
reports related to the Mortgage Loans available through its home page.
(b) On the second Business Day after each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Trustee the CMSA Periodic
Update Report, reflecting information as of the close of business on the
Determination Date, in a mutually agreeable electronic format. Such information
may be delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent by telecopy
or in such electronic or other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Servicer. The Special Servicer shall from time
to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Servicer)
provide the Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the
Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided
by the Servicer to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. None of the Paying Agent,
the Trustee or the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or
recalculate the information provided thereto by the Servicer in the CMSA
Periodic Update Report. Unless the Paying Agent has actual knowledge that any
CMSA Periodic Update Report contains erroneous information, the Paying Agent is
authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to
Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the statements to
Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Collateral Support
Deficit to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Servicer or
Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed
pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) or Section 4.02(c) shall not constitute a
breach of this Section 4.02(b) or of Section 4.02(c) to the extent the Servicer
or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable
belief of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would
violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document
prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the
Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any
information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable
discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of
any Certificateholder, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the requesting
Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Registrar's
possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Paying Agent (or the Trustee
with respect to information relating to the Trustee) as is requested by such
Certificateholder, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, the
Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency
under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so
furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or
any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so
furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another. In addition,
pursuant to Section 8.12(b), the Paying Agent shall provide a financial market
publisher (which shall initially be [__________]) certain current information
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties as set forth on Schedule I hereto.
-119-
<PAGE>
(d) The Paying Agent shall file with the Commission, in respect of
the Trust Fund, the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Certificates,
copies of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by
rules and regulations prescribe) required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (including Distribution Date
Statement issued pursuant to Section 4.02(a) by means of a Current Report on
Form 8-K and an Annual Report on Form 10-K). The Servicer and the Special
Servicer agree to provide the Paying Agent with such information in a timely
fashion as may be requested by the Paying Agent in connection with such Exchange
Act reports. In the event that the Depositor determines that electronic filing
through the EDGAR System is required for any reports, the Depositor may either
(x) request that the Paying Agent process such filing or (y) cause the filing to
be processed by the Depositor or its designee upon receipt from the Paying Agent
of the reports, documents and other information described above. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Depositor shall file with the Commission, within fifteen days
after the Closing Date, a Current Report on Form 8-K together with this
Agreement.
Section 4.03 P&I Advances.
(a) On or before 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance
Date, the Servicer shall either (i) deposit into the Lower-Tier 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 Certificate 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 Certificate Account for future distribution and so used to
make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and
replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the
next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date (to the extent not previously
replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal
and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Servicer
shall notify the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent by a certificate of the Servicing
Officer of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and
(ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date,
on or before 3 Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Servicer
fails to make a required P&I Advance by 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on any
P&I Advance Date, an Event of Default as set forth in clause (a)(i) of Section
7.01 shall occur and the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section
7.05, and if the Trustee fails to make such P&I Advance by the close of
business, New York City time, on such P&I Advance Date, the Fiscal Agent shall
make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day. In the event that the Servicer
fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Paying Agent shall notify
the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent of such circumstances by 1:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the related P&I Advance Date.
(b) Subject to Section 4.03(c) and (e) below, the aggregate amount
of P&I Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date
shall equal the aggregate of: (i) all Monthly Payments (in each case, net of
related Servicing Fees) other than Balloon Payments, that were due during the
related Due Period and delinquent as of the close of
-120-
<PAGE>
business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not
advanced by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Servicer) and (ii)
with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the related Balloon Payment was
due during or prior to the related Due Period and was delinquent as of the end
of the related Due Period (including any REO Loan as to which the Balloon
Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled
Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the
Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any
Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which
the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event with
respect thereto are to be distributed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.
(d) In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Servicer shall be entitled
to pay itself, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be (in reverse
of such order with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property), out of any
amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account, interest at the
Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such
P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement.
The Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the
case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance as soon as practicably possible
after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) none of the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be required to make an advance for [Excess
Interest,] Penalty Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges and
(ii) the amount required to be advanced in respect of delinquent Monthly
Payments or Assumed Scheduled Payments on Mortgage Loans that have been subject
to an Appraisal Reduction Event will equal, with respect to any Distribution
Date and any Mortgage Loan, the amount that would be required to be advanced by
the Servicer without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction less any Appraisal
Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date.
Section 4.04 Allocation of Collateral Support Deficit.
(a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the
distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01 and the
allocation of Certificate Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 4.06, the Paying
Agent shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans expected to be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the
then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Regular Certificates after giving
effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date and the
allocation of Certificate Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 4.06 (any such
deficit, the "Collateral Support Deficit"). Any allocation of Collateral Support
Deficit to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the
Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Collateral Support
Deficit allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among
the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Collateral Support Deficit shall
-121-
<PAGE>
constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust
Fund. Reimbursement of previously allocated Collateral Support Deficit will not
constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an
additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in
respect of which any such reimbursement is made.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the
Regular Certificates will be reduced without distribution as a write-off to the
extent of any Collateral Support Deficit, if any, allocable to such Certificates
with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated
among the respective Certificates as follows: first, to the Class [H]
Certificates; second, to the Class [G] Certificates; third, to the Class [F]
Certificates; fourth, to the Class [E] Certificates; fifth, to the Class [D]
Certificates; sixth, to the Class [C] Certificates; seventh, to the Class [B]
Certificates, in each case, until the remaining Certificate Balance of each such
Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero and eighth, to the Class [A-1]
Certificates and the Class [A-2] Certificates, pro rata (based upon Certificate
Balance), until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of
Certificates have been reduced to zero.
(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, any Collateral Support
Deficit allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b) with
respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amounts
of the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest with respect thereto as a
write-off.
Section 4.05 Appraisal Reductions.
The aggregate Appraisal Reduction will be allocated by the Paying
Agent on each Distribution Date, only for purposes of determining the identity
of the Controlling Class and Voting Rights and the amount of P&I Advances with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan, to the Certificate Balance of the Class
[H], Class [G], Class [F], Class [E], Class [D], Class [C] and Class [B]
Certificates, in that order, up to the amount of their respective Certificate
Balances. On any Distribution Date, an Appraisal Reduction that otherwise would
be allocated to a Class of Certificates will be allocated to the next most
subordinate Class to the extent that the Certificate Balance on such
Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates (prior to taking the Appraisal
Reduction into account) is less than the Appraisal Reduction for such
Distribution Date.
Section 4.06 Certificate Deferred Interest.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the amount of interest distributable
to a Class of Certificates (other than the Class [X] Certificates) shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the amount of Mortgage Deferred Interest for all
Mortgage Loans for the Due Dates occurring in the related Due Period allocated
to such Class of Certificates, such Mortgage Deferred Interest to be allocated
first to the Class [H] Certificates, second to the Class [G] Certificates, third
to the Class [F] Certificates, fourth to the Class [E] Certificates, fifth to
the Class [D] Certificates, sixth to the Class [C] Certificates, seventh to the
Class [B] Certificates and eighth, pro rata (based upon Accrued Certificate
Interest), to the Class [A-1] and Class [A-2] Certificates, in each case up to
the respective Accrued Certificate Interest for each such Class of Certificates
for such Distribution Date.
-122-
<PAGE>
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Class
[A-1], Class [A-2], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D], Class [E], Class [F], Class
[G] and Class [H] Certificates shall be increased by the amount of the
Certificate Deferred Interest allocated to such Class of Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a) above.
(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, any Certificate Deferred
Interest with respect to such Distribution Date allocated pursuant to Section
4.06(a) to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated in reduction of the amount
of interest distributable to the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest with
respect thereto. On each Distribution Date, to the extent provided in Section
4.06(b), Certificate Deferred Interest will be added to the Lower-Tier Principal
Amount of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in the same manner as the
interest thereon was reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence.

THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through and including A-12. The Certificates will
be issuable in registered form only; provided, however, that in accordance with
Section 5.03 beneficial ownership interests in the Regular Certificates shall
initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository. The Class [R] and Class [LR] Certificates will each be issuable in
one or more registered, definitive physical certificates (each, a "Definitive
Certificate") substantially in the form of Certificates of each Class and with
such applicable legends as are set forth in the Exhibits hereto corresponding to
such Class. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related
Class. The Class [X] Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations
of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Offered Certificates (other
than the Class [X] Certificates) will be issuable only in minimum Denominations
of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $25,000, and in
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Non-Registered Certificates
(other than the Residual Certificates) will be issuable in minimum Denominations
of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $250,000, and in
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If the Original Certificate
Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class does not equal
an integral multiple of $1,000, then a single additional Certificate of such
Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate
Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of
(i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable,
of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1,000 that does not
exceed such amount. The Class [R] and Class [LR] Certificates will be issuable
only in one or more Definitive Certificates in denominations representing
Percentage Interests of not less than 20%. With respect to any Certificate or
any beneficial interest in a Certificate, the "Denomination" thereof shall be
(i) the amount (a) set forth on the face thereof or, (b) set forth on a schedule
attached thereto or (c) in the case of any beneficial interest in a Book-Entry
Certificate, the interest of the related Certificate Owner in the applicable
Class of Certificates as reflected on the books and records of the Depository or
related Participants, as applicable, (ii) expressed in terms of initial
Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, and (iii) be in
an authorized denomination, as set forth above. The Book-Entry Certificates will
be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee
designated by the Depository, and Certificate Owners will hold interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in
the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations as set forth in the above.
No Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate of any Class thereof will be
entitled to receive a Definitive Certificate representing its interest in such
Class, except as provided in Section 5.03 herein. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates,
beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained
and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository
Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of
Certificates will refer to action taken by the
-124-
<PAGE>
Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of
Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the
Depository's procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all
references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of
such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and
statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof,
for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the
Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository's procedures.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Certificate Registrar by an authorized officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the authorized officers of the Certificate Registrar shall be
entitled to all benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following
sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, however, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
___________________________, is hereby initially appointed Authenticating Agent
with power to act on the Trustee's behalf in the authentication and delivery of
the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided.
If ___________________________ is removed as Paying Agent, then
___________________________ shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the
Authenticating Agent resigns or is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.
(c) Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or
otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with
rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities
market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to
general usage.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be
maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
_______________________________ is hereby initially appointed Certificate
Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Special Servicer, the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent, any other bank or trust
company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as the predecessor
Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided, that the predecessor Certificate
Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities
hereunder by reason of such appointment. If
-125-
<PAGE>
________________________ resigns or is removed as Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Certificate
Registrar. If _______________________ is removed as Paying Agent, then
___________________________ shall be terminated as Certificate Registrar. The
Depositor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and
addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the
Certificate Register; provided, however, in no event shall the Certificate
Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of
Certificate Owners. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered
shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all
purposes of this Agreement and the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent, the Special Servicer and any agent
of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
A Definitive Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender
of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its office maintained at
___________________________________ or at the Corporate Trust Office, if the
Trustee is the Certificate Registrar (the "Registrar Office") together with an
assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized
attorney). Subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d), the
Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the
Definitive Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered
by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e). Each
Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled, and the
Certificate Registrar shall hold such canceled Certificates in accordance with
its standard procedures.
(b) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not
require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the
Depositor to an Affiliate thereof) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption
from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then
either: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall require that the transferee deliver
to the Certificate Registrar an investment representation letter (the
"Investment Representation Letter") substantially in the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto, which Investment Representation Letter shall certify, among
other things, that the transferee is an institutional "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") or a "qualified institutional
buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a "Qualified
Institutional Buyer"), and the Certificate Registrar may also require that the
transferee deliver to the Certificate Registrar an Opinion of Counsel if such
transferee is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) if the certifications
described in the preceding clause (i) cannot be provided, (a) the Certificate
Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant
to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor,
from registration or qualification under the Securities Act, applicable state
securities laws and other relevant laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be
an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or
-126-
<PAGE>
the Trustee and (b) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to
execute a certification in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar setting forth the facts surrounding such transfer; provided, however,
that a transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate of any such Class may be made to
a trust if the transferor provides to the Certificate Registrar and to the
Trustee a certification that interests in such trust may only be transferred
subject to requirements substantially to the effect set forth in this Section
5.02. The Certificate Registrar will furnish, or cause to be furnished, upon the
request of any Holder of Non-Registered Certificates, to a prospective purchaser
of such Non-Registered Certificates who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such
information as is specified in paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A with respect to the
Trust Fund, unless, at the time of such request, the entity with respect to
which such information is to be provided is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. None of the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered 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
Non-Registered Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Holder of
a Non-Registered Certificate desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Unless the Certificate Registrar determines otherwise in accordance with
applicable law and the rules and procedures of, or applicable to, the Depository
(the "Depository Rules"), transfers of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry
Certificate representing an interest in a Non-Registered Certificate that is not
rated in one of the top four categories by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization to (i) an Institutional Accredited Investor will require
delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate and the Certificate Registrar
shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the foregoing provisions
of this Section 5.02(b) or (ii) a Qualified Institutional Buyer may only be
effectuated by means of an "SRO Rule 144A System" approved for such purpose by
the Commission.
Unless the Non-Registered Certificates have been registered under
the Securities Act, each of the Non-Registered Certificates shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect:
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION
HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED,
ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT
SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES NOT
TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH CERTIFICATE EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE
-127-
<PAGE>
SECURITIES LAWS AND (a) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH
HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (b) FOR SO
LONG AS THIS CERTIFICATE IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT ("RULE 144A"), TO A PERSON WHO THE
SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" AS
DEFINED IN RULE 144A IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
RULE 144A, (c) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" WITHIN THE
MEANING OF RULE 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (d) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES TO THE
COMPLETION AND DELIVERY BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE CERTIFICATE
REGISTRAR OF A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE
LAST PAGE OF THIS CERTIFICATE.
THE INITIAL INVESTOR IN THIS CERTIFICATE, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT
PURCHASER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY PURCHASING THIS CERTIFICATE OR AN
INTEREST HEREIN, IS DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN
TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT. A TRANSFEREE IS ALSO REQUIRED TO DELIVER AN INVESTMENT
REPRESENTATION LETTER SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE FORM OF EXHIBIT C TO THE
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT IF SUCH TRANSFEREE IS A QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER OR AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR, AND MAY
ALSO BE REQUIRED TO DELIVER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF SUCH TRANSFEREE
IS NOT A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE
144A.
(c) With respect to the Subordinate Certificates, no sale, transfer,
pledge or other disposition by any Holder of any such Certificate shall be made
unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation
letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, to the effect that such
proposed purchaser or transferee is not (a) an employee benefit plan subject to
the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) subject to any
federal, state or local law ("Similar
-128-
<PAGE>
Law") which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of
ERISA or the Code (each a "Plan") or (b) a person acting on behalf of or using
the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include
Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the
application of Department of Labor Regulation ss. 2510.3-101), other than an
insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances
whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company
would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code
under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or (ii) if such Certificate
is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is
any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory
to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor to the effect that the
acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will
not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and
subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, the prohibited
transaction provisions of the Code or the provisions of any Similar Law, will
not constitute or result in a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of
ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, and will not subject the
Trustee, [the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent, the Extension Adviser,] the Underwriters, the
Placement Agents or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such
Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Certificate
Registrar shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of
any such Certificate unless the Certificate Registrar has received either the
representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel
described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation
letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Underwriters,
the Placement Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee
and the Trust Fund. Each Certificate Owner of a Subordinate Certificate shall be
deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (a), or (b)
above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any such Certificates
that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section
4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions
of this Section 5.02(c) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to
the extent permitted under applicable law.
So long as any of the Class of Certificates remains outstanding, the
Servicer will make available, or cause to be made available, upon request, to
any Holder and any Person to whom any such Certificate of any such Class of
Certificates may be offered or sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed
of by such Holder, information with respect to the Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Mortgage Loans necessary to the provision of an Opinion of
Counsel described in this Section 5.02(c).
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions
and to have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent under clause (ii) below to
deliver payments to a Person other than such Person. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(A) No Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent
thereof
-129-
<PAGE>
(including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an "Agent"), a
Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a
Plan (such Plan or Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or a
Non-U.S. Person and shall promptly notify the Servicer, the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to
such status;
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall
require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Residual Certificate
shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an
affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1
(a "Transfer Affidavit") from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing
and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a
Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited
Holder or a Non-U.S. Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them;
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a
proposed Transferee under clause (b) above, if the Certificate
Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a
Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited
Holder or a Non-U.S. Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected; and
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer
Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person
attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Residual
Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such
Residual Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar
a letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (a
"Transferor Letter") certifying that, among other things, it has no
actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is a Disqualified
Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a
Non-U.S. Person.
(ii) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then
the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Authenticating Agent
and the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) 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; provided,
however, that the Certificate Registrar shall be under such liability for
a registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate if it has actual
knowledge that the
-130-
<PAGE>
proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an
ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person in violation of Section
5.02(d)(i)(C) above.
(iii) The Paying Agent shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, upon written
request of the Trustee, all information in its possession and necessary to
compute any tax imposed as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization or Agent thereof, including the information described in
Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with
respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate.
(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth
in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Definitive Certificate may transfer or
exchange the same in whole or in part (with a Denomination equal to any
authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the Registrar
Office or at the office of any successor Certificate Registrar or transfer agent
appointed by the Certificate Registrar, together with an instrument of
assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney),
in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange in the case of
exchange. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.02
and Depository Rules, any Certificate Owner owning a beneficial interest in a
Non-Registered Certificate may cause the Certificate Registrar to request that
the Depository exchange such Certificate Owner's beneficial interest in a
Book-Entry for a Definitive Certificate or Certificates. Following a proper
request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within 5
Business Days of such request if made at such Registrar Office, or within 10
Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the
Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at such Registrar Office or at the
office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the
case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class
mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the
case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable,
may request, a Definitive Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require,
for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as
may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Definitive
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Registrar Office or at the
office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during
the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution Date.
(f) In the event a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar
becomes aware that a Definitive Certificate (other than a Definitive Certificate
issued in exchange for a Certificate representing an interest in the Class
[A-1], Class [A-2], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D], Class [E] or Class [X]
Certificates) or a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Certificate representing
a Non-Registered Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who
is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of
a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the
investor to sell such Definitive Certificate or beneficial interest in such
Book-Entry Certificate to an Eligible Investor within 14 days after notice of
such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate
authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.
-131-
<PAGE>
(g) The Certificate Registrar shall provide notice to the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Depositor of each
transfer of a Certificate and to provide each such Person with an updated copy
of the Certificate Register on or about ______ and ______ of each year,
commencing ______, 200_.
(h) No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 except as provided below. In
connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the
transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of
the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the documents and any legal
opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar
as provided herein) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. With respect to any transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer or exchange.
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall hold such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
Section 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) The Regular Certificates shall initially be issued as one or
more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and,
except as provided in subsection (c) below, transfer of such Certificates may
not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such transfer is to a
successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such Certificate Owners
shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such
Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as
provided in Section 5.02(e) above or subsection (c) below, shall not be entitled
to Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers
by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures.
(b) The Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying
Agent, the Fiscal Agent, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may for all
purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates,
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to such Certificates for the purposes of exercising the
rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository
Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple
requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the
Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be
deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate
Owners.
-132-
<PAGE>
The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give
notice to the Depository of such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee, the Paying Agent
and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depository, the Paying Agent shall notify the
affected Certificate Owners, through the Depository with respect to all, any
Class or any portion of any Class of the Certificates or (iii) the Trustee
determines that Definitive Certificates are required in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.03(e), of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Depository or any custodian acting on behalf of the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent
shall authenticate and deliver, within 5 Business Days of such request if made
at the Registrar Office, or within 10 Business Days if made at the office of a
transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar), the Definitive
Certificates to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. None of
the Depositor, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent and the Certificate Registrar
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 for purposes of evidencing
ownership of any Class of Certificates, the registered Holders of such
Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder and,
accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise
Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive
Certificates.
(d) The Book-Entry Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the
Certificate Registrar to the Depository, or pursuant to the Depository's
instructions, and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to
the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of
Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to
such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of
DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered
owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
The Book-Entry Certificates may be deposited with such other
Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and
shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.
-133-
<PAGE>
(e) If the Trustee has instituted or the Servicer, on the Trustee's
behalf, has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to
enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the
Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it
is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of all or any
portion of the Certificates evidenced by Book-Entry Certificates, the Trustee
may in its sole discretion determine that such Certificates shall no longer be
represented by such Book-Entry Certificates. In such event, the Certificate
Registrar will execute, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the
Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Book-Entry
Certificates, Definitive Certificates in a Denomination equal to the aggregate
Denomination of such Book-Entry Certificates to the party so requesting such
Definitive Certificates. In such event, the Trustee shall notify the affected
Certificate Owners and make appropriate arrangements for the effectuation of the
purpose of this clause.
(f) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Book-Entry Certificate for a Definitive Certificate, as provided
herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on a schedule affixed to the
related Book-Entry Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to
such Book-Entry Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation
evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the
Denomination of such Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Denomination of such
Definitive Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
(g) If a Holder of a Definitive Certificate wishes at any time to
transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Certificate, such transfer may
be effected only in accordance with Depository Rules and this Section 5.03(g).
Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Registrar Office of (i) the
Definitive Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and transfer
pursuant to Section 5.02(a), (ii) written instructions given in accordance with
Depository Rules directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be
credited to another account a beneficial interest in the related Book-Entry
Certificate, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Definitive
Certificate to be so transferred, (iii) a written order given in accordance with
the Depository Rules containing information regarding the account to be credited
with such beneficial interest and (iv) if the affected Certificate is a
Non-Registered Certificate an Investment Representation Letter from the
transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Certificate,
execute and deliver a new Definitive Certificate for the Denomination of the
Definitive Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder
or the Holder's transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate
Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the custodian holding such Book-Entry
Certificate on behalf of the Depository to increase the Denomination of the
related Book-Entry Certificate by the Denomination of the Definitive Certificate
to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of
the Person specified in such instructions a corresponding Denomination of such
Book-Entry Certificate.
Section 5.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or
-134-
<PAGE>
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like Percentage
Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
Section 5.05 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any
of them may treat the person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to the extent
provided in the definition of "Certificateholder," and none of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying

by notice to the contrary except as provided in Section 5.02(d).
Section 5.06 Appointment of Paying Agent.
______________________________ is hereby initially appointed Paying
Agent to act on the Trustee's behalf in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If the Paying Agent resigns or is terminated, the Trustee shall
appoint a successor Paying Agent which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate
thereof to fulfill the obligations of the Paying Agent hereunder which must be
rated "A" or otherwise be acceptable to the Rating Agencies, as evidenced by a
written confirmation that such appointment will not cause the downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of any Class of
Certificates. The Trustee shall enter into a side agreement with the Paying
Agent, which agreement shall set forth the amount of compensation the Paying
Agent is entitled to retain from amounts otherwise payable to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.05 and 8.05 of the Pooling Agreement.
(b) The Paying Agent may rely upon and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, Appraisal, bond or other paper
or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties.
(c) The Paying Agent, at the expense of the Trust Fund (but only if
such amount constitutes "unanticipated expenses of the REMIC" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860(G)-1(b)(3)(ii)), may consult with counsel
and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection
-135-

in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance therewith.
(d) The Paying Agent shall not be personally liable for any action
reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to
be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement.
(e) The Paying Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents or
attorneys shall not relieve the Paying Agent of its duties or obligations
hereunder.
(f) The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any act or
omission of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or of the Depositor.

Special Servicer herein.
Section 6.02 Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor,
the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper (other than an assumption agreement wherein the successor shall agree to
perform the obligations of and serve as the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement) or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that such merger,
consolidation or succession will not result in a withdrawal, downgrading or
qualification of the then-current ratings of the Classes of Certificates that
have been so rated (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating
Agency).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Special Servicer and Others.
(a) None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer[, the

<PAGE>
Servicer, the Special Servicer[, the Extension Adviser] or any such Person
against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or 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 negligent disregard of

Servicer[, the Extension Adviser] and any director, officer, member, manager,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer [or the
Extension Adviser] may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which,

matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and
any general partner of the foregoing[, the Extension Adviser] and any director,
officer, member, manager, employee or agent of any of the foregoing shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against any and all claims, losses,

in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer [or the Extension
Adviser] may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or
examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer [and the Extension Adviser] shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the
Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section
3.05(a).
(c) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees to
indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Trust and any
director, officer, employee or agent thereof, and hold them harmless, from and
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
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 any
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, in the performance of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement (including acts or omissions occurring in their capacity as
agent for the Trustee) or by reason of reckless disregard by the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, of its duties and obligations hereunder or
by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein. The
Trustee, the Depositor or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, shall
immediately notify the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, if a
claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage
Loans entitling it to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the
-138-
<PAGE>
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall assume the defense
of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Fiscal Agent) and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any
failure to so notify the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall not affect any rights any of the foregoing Persons may have to
indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Servicer's, or the
Special Servicer's, as the case may be, defense of such claim is materially
prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Special Servicer.
Section 6.04 Depositor, Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, none of the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall resign from their respective
obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a)
determination that such party's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or (b) in the case of the Servicer, upon the appointment of, and
the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Servicer and receipt by the
Trustee of written confirmation from each applicable Rating Agency that such
resignation and appointment will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade,
withdraw or qualify any of the then current ratings assigned by such Rating
Agency to any Class of Certificates. Only the Servicer shall be permitted to
resign pursuant to clause (b) above. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to
clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until
the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's or Special
Servicer's, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with
Section 7.02. Upon any termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, the
Servicer shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor Servicer
with respect to this Section 6.04, provided, that such successor Servicer
otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer's right to appoint any
successor shall be subject to the requirements of this paragraph. Prior to
appointing any successor Servicer, the Servicer shall provide
___________________________ written notice (with a copy to the Trustee) of the
proposed resignation and the price to be paid to the Servicer by the successor
Servicer for such appointment. Provided ___________________________ satisfies
the requirements under this Agreement for a successor Servicer,
___________________________ shall be entitled to become the successor Servicer
if within five Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Servicer,
___________________________ executes and delivers to the Servicer a commitment
to accept the appointment at the price proposed to be paid by the successor
Servicer and within 25 days of the notice delivers to the Servicer: (a) the
Rating Agency confirmations required by clause (b) above, (b) cash consideration
in the amount that the successor Servicer was willing to pay to the Servicer for
such appointment, and (c) an assumption in writing (with a copy to the Trustee)
of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, that
___________________________ shall have an additional period of time, not to
exceed 45 days following receipt of such notice from the Servicer, to deliver
the Rating Agency confirmations so long as ___________________________ has been
using, and
-139-
<PAGE>
continues to use, its best efforts to obtain such Rating Agency confirmations
and ___________________________ is an acceptable master servicer to DCR and
"approved" by S&P as a Servicer of commercial loans. If
___________________________ fails to execute and deliver to the servicer such
commitment or deliver such items within such time period, the Servicer may
appoint the successor Servicer.
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Servicer and
the Special Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated
to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the
Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, however, that
the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of their
respective obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Servicer or the Special Servicer and is
not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.06 Rating Agency Fees.
The Servicer shall pay, from its own funds, the annual fees of each
Rating Agency in an amount not to exceed $[42,000].
Section 6.07 [The Directing Certificateholder.]
[The Directing Certificateholder shall 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 set forth in, and
in any event subject to, the second paragraph of this Section 6.07, the Special
Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the following actions as to which
the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within 10 Business Days
of being notified thereof (provided, that if such written objection has not been
received by the Special Servicer within such 10 Business Day period, then the
Directing Certificateholder's approval shall be deemed to have been given):
(i) any foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include
acquisitions 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 of a monetary term of a Mortgage Loan other
than a modification consisting of the extension of the maturity date of a
Mortgage Loan for one year or less;
(iii) any proposed sale of a defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property
(other than in connection with the termination of the Trust Fund);
-140-
<PAGE>
(iv) any determination to bring an REO Property into compliance with
applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address Hazardous Materials
located at an REO Property;
(v) any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a
Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan;
(vi) any waiver of a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause;
and
(vii) any acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a borrower
from liability under a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan;
provided, that, in the event that the Special Servicer determines that immediate
action in necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a
collective whole), the Special Servicer may take any such action without waiting
for the Directing Certificateholder's response.
In addition, the Directing Certificateholder may direct the Special
Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions as the Directing
Certificateholder 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 Standards, or expose the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially
expand the scope of the Special Servicer's responsibilities hereunder or cause
the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable
judgment of the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the
Certificateholders.
Any costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in obtaining
such consent will be borne by the Directing Certificateholder. In the event the
Special Servicer determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing
Certificateholder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder would
otherwise cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of this Agreement,
including without limitation, the Servicing Standards, the Special Servicer
shall disregard such refusal to consent or advice and notify the Directing
Certificateholder, the Trustee, [_____] and [_____] of its determination,
including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.
The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the
taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder shall 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. By its acceptance of a
Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that the
Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or
more Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the Certificates, and
that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and
interests
-141-
<PAGE>
that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that
the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders
of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any
duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling
Class, that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the
interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the
Holders of one or more other classes of Certificates, that the Directing
Certificateholder, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, 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 Directing
Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no
Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing
Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof
for having so acted.

downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating on any
Class of Certificates that are rated by a Rating Agency if the Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not replaced; or
(ix) the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be removed from
[_____]'s approved servicer list or approved special servicer list, as
applicable, and such removal coincides with the downgrade, qualification
(including, without limitation, "negative credit watch") or withdrawal of

(b) If any Event of Default with respect to the Servicer or the
Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(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
Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, shall, terminate, by notice in
writing to the Defaulting Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor,
all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Party
-144-
<PAGE>
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof;
provided, however, that the Defaulting Party shall be entitled to the payment of
accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such
termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and
expenses incurred. 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 with respect to a termination of the Servicer and to the Servicer
with respect to a termination of the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee or Servicer, as applicable, 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 Servicer and Special
Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b),
it shall promptly (and in any event no later than 20 Business Days subsequent to
its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee or the Servicer,
as applicable, with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to
assume the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, functions
hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable,
in effecting the termination of the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the
case may be, responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer within 5 Business Days to the Trustee or the Servicer,
as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the
time be or should have been credited by the Servicer to the Certificate Account
or any Servicing Account (if it is the Defaulting Party) or by the Special
Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Defaulting Party) or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided,
however, that the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated
pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), 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 (in the case of the Servicer) or
otherwise, and it and its directors, managers, officers, members, employees and
agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03
notwithstanding any such termination).
(c) The Holder or Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
Certificate Balance of the then Controlling Class shall be entitled to terminate
the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or
without cause, upon 10 Business Days notice to the Special Servicer, the
Servicer and the Trustee, and to appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided,
however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section
7.02 and (ii) as evidenced in writing by each of the Rating Agencies, the
proposed successor of such Special Servicer will not, in and of itself, result
in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings
provided by the Rating Agencies in respect to any Class of then outstanding
Certificates that is rated. No penalty or fee shall be payable to the Special
Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(c).
(d) The Servicer and Special Servicer shall, from time to time, take
all such actions as are required by them in order to maintain their respective
status as an approved servicer and special servicer, as applicable and as
pertains to this transaction, with each of the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, either resigns pursuant to the first sentence of Subsection (a) of
Section 6.04 or receives a notice
-145-
<PAGE>
of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(a), and provided that no
acceptable successor has been appointed, the Trustee shall be the successor to
the Servicer and the Servicer shall be the successor to the Special Servicer, as
applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Servicer or Special Servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and
shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, benefits,
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating
thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Servicer
or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated
party's failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required
hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The
appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the
predecessor Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Servicer,
and the appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall not affect any
liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its
termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee or Servicer, as applicable, in its
capacity as successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the
Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related
document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or
Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, be
required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its
obligations as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Servicer shall be entitled to
the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans which the
Servicer would have been entitled to if the Servicer had continued to act
hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any
Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and the Servicer as successor to
the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which
the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had
continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable,
succeed to the capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, shall be afforded the same
standard of care and liability as the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary,
but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor Servicer
or successor Special Servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its
role as Trustee or Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. Notwithstanding the
above, the Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, may, if it shall be unwilling
to act as successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or
shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee or Servicer, as applicable,
is not approved as a servicer or special servicer, as applicable, by each Rating
Agency or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.04 and
otherwise herein, as the successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer
hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption in writing by the successor to
the Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and
liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter. Pending appointment of a successor
to the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee or the
Servicer, as applicable, shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
or the
-146-
<PAGE>
Servicer, as applicable, shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Servicer
or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee or the Servicer, as
applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor
Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess
of that permitted the terminated Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is
not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function
(other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement
shall be borne by the predecessor servicer.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.04, any termination of the Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(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) 5 days after the Trustee would be deemed
to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section
8.02(vii), the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have
been cured.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders of Certificates representing at least 662/3% of the
Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Event of
Default hereunder may waive such Event of Default within 20 days of the receipt
of notice from the Trustee of the occurrence of such Event of Default; provided,
however, that an Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01(a) may be
waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes. 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. Upon any
such waiver of an Event of Default by Certificateholders, the Trustee shall be
entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with
enforcement action taken with respect to such Event of Default prior to such
waiver from the Trust Fund. 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
7.04, 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.

Section 7.05 Trustee and Fiscal Agent as Makers of Advances.
(a) In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations
hereunder to make any Advances, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Fiscal
Agent of such circumstances in writing, and the Trustee shall perform such
obligations (x) within five Business Days of such failure by the Servicer with
respect to Servicing Advances to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and
(y) by the close of business, New York City time, on the related P&I Advance
Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Paying Agent's notice of
failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a). With respect to any such Advance made by
the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer's rights with
respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Servicer's
rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate,
and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of
any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer's default in its
obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by both the
Trustee and the Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on
any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such
Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the
Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid
in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of
the Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder. In
the event the Fiscal Agent is not the initial Fiscal Agent, with respect to any
Distribution Date that the Trustee is required to make any P&I Advances,
immediately upon making such P&I Advances the Trustee shall notify the Fiscal
Agent by facsimile that such P&I Advances have been made.
(b) In the event that the Trustee fails to fulfill its obligations
hereunder to make any Advances following the failure of the Servicer to make an
Advance, the Fiscal Agent shall perform such obligations (x) within one Business
Day of such failure by the Trustee with respect to Servicing Advances and (y) by
no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Distribution Date
with respect to P&I Advances, and, with respect to any such Advance made by the
Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent shall succeed to all of the Trustee's rights with
respect to any such Advance hereunder; provided, however, that if Advances made
by the Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall at any time be
outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all
amounts available to repay such Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied
entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Fiscal Agent, until such Advances
shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon. The
Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with
respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND FISCAL AGENT
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee contained in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which
is specifically governed by the terms of Article II), shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any
such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a material manner, the Trustee notify the party providing such instrument and
requesting the correction thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the
accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer or
the Special Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee in good faith, pursuant to
this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of
-149-
<PAGE>
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement (unless a higher
percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, Appraisal, bond or other
paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request,
order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in 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; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the
Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights; provided,
however, that if the payment
-150-
<PAGE>
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity from such requesting Holders
against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such
action. The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall
be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Servicer upon demand;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys; provided, however, that the appointment of such agents or
attorneys shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties or obligations
hereunder;
(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the
Certificates or this Agreement; and
(viii) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission
of the Servicer, the Special Servicer or [the Extension Adviser] (unless
the Trustee is acting as Servicer, Special Servicer or [the Extension
Adviser], as the case may be) or of the Depositor.
Section 8.03 Trustee and Fiscal Agent Not Liable for Validity or
Sufficiency of Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than
the acknowledgments of the Trustee in Sections 2.02 and 2.04 and the signature,
if any, of the Trustee set forth on any outstanding Certificate, shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent makes any representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of any Certificate (other than as
to the signature, if any, of the Trustee set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage
Loan or related document. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the
Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the
assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, or any funds deposited in or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account or any other account by or on behalf of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, [the Extension Adviser] or
the Paying Agent (unless the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent is acting as Paying
Agent). Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be responsible for the
accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Special Servicer or [the Extension Adviser], and accepted by the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Trustee and Fiscal Agent May Own Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent in its individual capacity,
not as Trustee or Fiscal Agent, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates,
and may deal with the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Placement Agents and the Underwriters in banking transactions, with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable.
Section 8.05 Fees and Expenses of Trustee; Indemnification of
Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(a) As compensation for the performance of its duties, the Trustee
will be paid the Trustee Fee, equal to one month's interest at the Trustee Fee
Rate, which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses
of the Trustee [(including in the Trustee's capacity as the initial Extension
Adviser)]. The Trustee Fee shall be paid monthly on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage
Loan basis. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Trustee Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Trustee Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of
the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and [a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months] [for the same period of time which any
interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or deemed due on such REO Loan is
computed]. The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited to any provision of law
in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall constitute
the Trustee's sole form of compensation 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 of the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall pay, at
its own expense, the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent.
(b) The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund (to the extent of amounts on
deposit in the Certificate Account or Lower-Tier Distribution Account from time
to time) against any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation,
costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages,
judgments and amounts paid in settlement, and expenses incurred in becoming
successor servicer or successor Special Servicer, to the extent not otherwise
paid hereunder) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or
omission of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, relating to the
exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, as applicable, hereunder; provided, however, that neither the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent nor any of the other above specified Persons shall be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (i) allocable
overhead, (ii) expenses or disbursements incurred or made by or on behalf of the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, in the normal course of the
Trustee's performing its duties in accordance with any of the provisions hereof,
which are not "unanticipated expenses of the REMIC" within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (iii) any expense or liability
specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (iv)
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's or the Fiscal Agent's
obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such
obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent made herein. The
provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the
-152-
<PAGE>
termination of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Trustee
and/or Fiscal Agent and appointment of a successor thereto.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be, and will be required to
resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking
association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of
any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under this
Agreement, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and shall
not be an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer (except during any
period when the Trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.02), (ii) an
institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and (iii) an
institution whose long-term senior unsecured debt is rated either (a) if a
Fiscal Agent is then currently in place, not less than (1) "BBB" by ___ and (2)
"BBB" by ___ (provided, that the Fiscal Agent is not an entity that in and of
itself would result in the downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of ___'s
rating of any of the then-rated Certificates) or (b) if a Fiscal Agent is not
then in place, "AA" by each Rating Agency (or such entity as would not, as
evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency, result in the qualification,
downgrading or withdrawal of any of the ratings then assigned thereby to the
Certificates).
If such corporation, national bank or national banking association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation,
national bank or national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In the event the place of business from which the Trustee administers
the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC or in which the Trustee's office
is located is in a state or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust
Fund on the net income of a REMIC (other than a tax corresponding to a tax
imposed under the REMIC Provisions), the Trustee shall elect either to (i)
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07,
(ii) pay such tax at no expense to the Trust or (iii) administer the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC from a state and local jurisdiction that does not
impose such a tax.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee acceptable to the Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
-153-
<PAGE>
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor or the Servicer, or if at any time the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or if the Trustee or Paying Agent (if different than the Trustee)
shall fail (other than by reason of the failure of either the Servicer or the
Special Servicer to timely perform its obligations hereunder or as a result of
other circumstances beyond the Trustee's or Paying Agent's, as applicable,
reasonable control), to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or
otherwise made available by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, pursuant
to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five
days, or if the Trustee or Paying Agent (if different from the Trustee) fails to
make distributions required pursuant to Section 3.05(b), 4.01 or 9.01, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, and appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the Servicer or paying agent acceptable to the
Trustee, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee in the
case of the removal of the Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the
Depositor.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer and the remaining
Certificateholders by the Servicer.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of the last paragraph of this
Section 8.07(d), the Fiscal Agent shall not be entitled to resign, except under
a determination that it may no longer perform its obligations and duties under
applicable law or such obligations and duties are in material conflict by reason
of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination is required to be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee. The Fiscal Agent may also
resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement at any time upon
reasonable notice to the Trustee, provided, that (i) a successor fiscal agent is
willing to assume the obligations, responsibilities, and covenants to be
performed by the Fiscal Agent on substantially the same terms and conditions,
and for not more than equivalent compensation, (ii) the Fiscal Agent bears all
costs associated with such resignation, (iii) the successor fiscal agent has a
long-term debt rating of at least "AA" from each Rating Agency or, as confirmed
in writing by each Rating Agency, is an entity that in and of itself would not
result in a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of any rating of any
then-rated Certificate, (iv) the successor fiscal agent is approved by the
Depositor and the Trustee and (v) the Rating Agencies shall have confirmed in
writing that the appointment of such successor fiscal agent will not adversely
affect or result in a withdrawal, downgrading, or qualification of the ratings
on the Certificates that are then-rated.
-154-
<PAGE>
Upon any resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee
will be required to designate a successor Fiscal Agent whose appointment will
not adversely affect the ratings on the Certificates then rated, unless (i)
there is a successor Fiscal Agent already provided for in accordance with the
proviso to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph in this Section 8.07(d)
or (ii) the long-term senior unsecured debt of the Trustee is rated "AA" by each
Rating Agency (or such other rating by either Rating Agency as would not, as
evidenced in writing by such Rating Agency, adversely affect any of the ratings
then assigned thereby to the Certificates).
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent and
appointment of a successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent as provided in Section
8.08, except that the resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent shall become
effective immediately if, at the time of such resignation or removal, the
long-term senior unsecured debt of the Trustee is rated "AA" by each Rating
Agency (or such other rating by either Rating Agency as would not, as evidenced
in writing by such Rating Agency, adversely affect any of the ratings then
assigned thereby to the Certificates).
Upon any succession of the Trustee under this Agreement, the
predecessor Trustee shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid
compensation and reimbursement as provided for under this Agreement for services
rendered and expenses incurred including, without limitation, unreimbursed
Advances. No Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall be personally liable for any action
or omission of any successor Trustee or successor Fiscal Agent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, resignation or removal of the initial Trustee
shall automatically result in the simultaneous resignation or removal of the
initial Fiscal Agent.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(a) Any successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent,
as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent,
as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Fiscal
Agent herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other
than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by a Custodian, which
Custodian, at Custodian's option, shall become the agent of the successor
Trustee), and the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and
confirm in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations, and to enable the successor Trustee to perform its obligations
hereunder.
(b) No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
-155-
<PAGE>
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Fiscal
Agent as provided in this Section 8.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the
succession of such Trustee or Fiscal Agent hereunder to the Depositor and the
Certificateholders. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent, such
successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as applicable, shall cause such notice to be
mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Fiscal Agent.
Any Person into which the Trustee or the Fiscal 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 the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, shall be the
successor of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, respectively, hereunder; provided,
that, in the case of the Trustee, such successor Person shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
will provide notice of such event to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor and the Rating Agencies.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly, 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
-156-
<PAGE>
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(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 or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute
the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to
the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Servicer, appoint one or
more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the
Trustee. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision
by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in
which it holds any Mortgage File and shall not be the Depositor or any Affiliate
of the Depositor. Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and
standard of care as would be imposed on the Trustee hereunder in connection with
the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Trustee. The appointment of one
or more Custodians shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations
hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions
of any Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity
bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which
serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions.
Section 8.12 Access to Certain Information.
(a) On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Non-Registered
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Paying Agent and the Trustee three copies of any private placement memorandum or
other disclosure document used by the Depositor or its Affiliate in connection
with the offer and sale of the Class of Certificates to which such
Non-Registered Certificate relates. In addition, if any such private placement
memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any
time

the Servicer with respect to such termination, unless the Servicer is the

the sole class of "residual interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of
the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be designated as the "regular
interests" and the Class [LR] Certificates shall be designated as representing

expenses of the Trust Fund and the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)

discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone
number of the "tax matters person" who will serve as the representative of each
of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder.
(f) The Servicer shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust
Fund to take such actions as are reasonably within the Servicer's control and
the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary
to maintain the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the
Servicer, to the extent reasonably requested by the Servicer to do so). Neither
the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any
action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of
duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if
taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of either
the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or
the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not
including the tax on "net income from foreclosure property") (either such event,
an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at
the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to
pay such expense, and the Servicer determines that taking such action is in the
best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of
the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Servicer or the Trustee)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust
Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, endanger
such status or, unless the Servicer determines in its sole discretion to
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, result in the imposition of such a
tax (not including a tax on "net income from foreclosure property"). The Trustee
shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder)
as to which the Servicer has advised it in writing that it has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with
respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to
the Trust Fund, either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of
its assets, or causing the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the Servicer or its
designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse
REMIC Event to occur with respect to the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Trustee shall not take any such action or
cause the Trust Fund or either the
-167-
<PAGE>
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The
Servicer may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of
same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly
permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Servicer or
the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Servicer will to
the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set
forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each of the Lower-Tier
REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC 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.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax,
including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to
tax, is imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, such tax
shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the
Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g);
provided, that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any "net
income from foreclosure property" pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any
similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer
shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes
in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by
the Servicer in writing), and shall remit to the Servicer such reserved amounts
as the Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in
the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate Account
sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such
tax as is estimated to be legally owed by either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Servicer from
contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund (other than as a consequence of a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate
proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings). The Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall
segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any
"prohibited transaction" under Code Section 860F(a) or the amount of any taxable
contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC after the Startup
Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or
amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the
extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of "net income
from foreclosure property") is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or
applicable state or local tax authorities, the Servicer shall retain an equal
amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Residual
Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in
the case of the Lower-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Uncertificated
Lower-Tier Interests to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Collateral
Support Deficit arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class [LR]
Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(b) and (y) in the case of
the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of Class [A], Class [B], Class [C], Class
[D], Class [E], Class [F], Class [G], Class [H] and Class [X] Certificates, as
applicable, in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a), to the extent they are
fully reimbursed for any Collateral Support Deficit arising therefrom and then
to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes
imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the
extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective
obligations under this Agreement.

(h) The Trustee (to the extent required to maintain books and
records hereunder) and the Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the
Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may
be required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee
shall accept any contributions of assets to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the
Upper-Tier REMIC unless the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such
contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will not (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or
the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or Certificates are outstanding or (ii)
subject either the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to
any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal,
state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any
arrangement by which the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor
permit the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to
receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the
Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the
Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a "regular
interest" in the Upper-Tier REMIC and by which the Lower-Tier Principal Amount
of each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests representing a "regular
interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC would be reduced to zero is __________, 200_
which is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest scheduled
maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier
REMIC.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the
default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not
limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a
purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement) or
acquire any assets for the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account, the Distribution Accounts or the REO Account for gain unless it has
received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will
not (a) affect adversely the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Servicer has determined in its
sole discretion to indemnify the Trust
-169-

Fund against such tax, cause the Trust Fund or either the Lower-Tier REMIC or
the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

to Cooperate with Servicer.

the price, yield, Prepayment Assumption and projected cash flow of the
Certificates.
(b) The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and
upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, access to such books
and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust
Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the Servicer in order to enable it
to perform its duties hereunder.
Section 10.03 Use of Agents.

the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class

200_-_ and are issued in twelve Classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of
the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each

income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the

registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-1-2
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal

a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to
Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on
the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro
rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $_________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-1-3
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-1-4
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ______% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than _% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-2-4
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ____% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of

A-3-5
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision

in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of

the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[C] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial

1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-4-3
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year
consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [C] Pass-Through
Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this
Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate's pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be

a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit and Certificate Deferred Interest on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to
Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on
the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro
rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $_________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-4-4
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with

of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,

nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be

tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related

action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-4-5
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ____% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,

(iv) amend Section 11.01.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT __________________
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the
Class [D] Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of ________________, 200_ (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[D] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial
Mortgage Corporation, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-5-3
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year
consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [D] Pass-Through
Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this
Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate's pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be
distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with
a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit and Certificate Deferred Interest on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to
Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on
the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro
rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $__________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-5-4
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at
the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Class [X] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities
of DTC in Denominations of not less than $__________initial Notional Amount and
in integral multiples of $1_______ in excess thereof, with one Certificate of
such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial
Notional Amount of such Class. Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Offered Certificates (other than the Class [X] Certificates) will
be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in Denominations of
$_______initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $______ in
excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional
amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Non-Registered
Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) will be issued in book-entry
form through the facilities of DTC in Denominations of $_______initial
Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $_______in excess thereof,
with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to
the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class. The Class [R]
and Class [LR] Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated
form, in Denominations representing Percentage Interests of not less than __%.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of the Upper-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of any tax,
provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such tax
and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of
the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or nature of deposits
into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO Account or to change
the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained, provided, however, that
the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related Distribution Date, an
Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
and that
A-5-5
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ____% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT __________________
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the
Class [E] Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of____________, 200_ (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[E] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial
Mortgage Corporation, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-6-3
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year
consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [E] Pass-Through
Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this
Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate's pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be
distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with
a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit and Certificate Deferred Interest on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to
Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on
the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro
rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Investments. Interest or other income earned on funds in the
Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the Servicer as set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from
time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $_______, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-6-4
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at
the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Class [X] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities
of DTC in Denominations of not less than $_______initial Notional Amount and in
integral multiples of $_______ in excess thereof, with one Certificate of such
Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial
Notional Amount of such Class. Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Offered Certificates (other than the Class [X] Certificates) will
be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in Denominations of
$_______initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $_______in
excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional
amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Non-Registered
Certificates (other than the Residual Certificates) will be issued in book-entry
form through the facilities of DTC in Denominations of $______initial
Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $______in excess thereof, with
one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the
remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class. The Class [R] and
Class [LR] Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form,
in Denominations representing Percentage Interests of not less than __%.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-6-5
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than _% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.

entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid
for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on
behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and

(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[F] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial
Mortgage Corporation, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-7-4
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year
consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [F] Pass-Through
Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this
Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate's pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be
distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with
a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit and Certificate Deferred Interest on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to
Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on
the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro
rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-7-5
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at
the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Class [X] Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities

form, in Denominations representing Percentage Interests of not less than __%.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate
Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-7-6
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than _% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of
A-7-7

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.

entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid
for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on
behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and

that portion of the
A-8-4
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable
to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums

consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class [G] Pass-Through
Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately
prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this

things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,

Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $_______, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such
A-8-5
<PAGE>
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that such action will not result in the withdrawal,
downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating

Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to
modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or any other provision thereof restricting transfer of the
Residual Certificates by virtue of their being the REMIC "residual interests,"
provided that such change shall not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any Class of Certificates,
as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect, and such change
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the
Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that
is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided, however, that such
action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interest of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.

the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of

respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such

Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided

nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any
error; to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates
by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of
any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that
A-9-6
<PAGE>
such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ____% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of

THIS CERTIFIES THAT __________________
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the
Class [X] Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of _____________, 200_ (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class [X]
Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial
Mortgage Corporation, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a "regular interest" in a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections
860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each
Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no
action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with
the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local
income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Paying Agent shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person's pro
rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of
that portion of the
A-10-3
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class
of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution
Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Holders of this Certificate will not be entitled to distributions in respect of
principal. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Prepayment Premiums
and Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year
consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest
Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date in an amount equal to the sum
of one-month's interest at the then-applicable Pass-Through Rates on the
notional amounts of the WAC Component and the A-1 Component immediately prior to
such Distribution Date, as specified above. Interest allocated to this
Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this
Certificate's pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be
distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with
a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with
Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is

Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or
exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein that may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any

by each Rating Agency; to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such
extent as is necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Upper-Tier

any tax, provided, however, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Certificateholder and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such
tax and such action will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or
qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a
letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to change the timing and/or
nature of deposits into the Certificate Account or Distribution Account or REO
Account or to change the name in which the Certificate Account is maintained,
provided, however, that the P&I Advance Date shall not be later than the related
Distribution Date, an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder and that such action will not result in the withdrawal,
downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as
evidenced by a letter from such Rating Agency to such effect; to modify,
eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or any other provision thereof restricting transfer of the
Residual Certificates by virtue of their being the REMIC "residual interests,"
provided that such
A-10-5
<PAGE>
change shall not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a
letter from each Rating Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to
be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a
Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect
the interest of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ____% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then

(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early
retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on any Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than __% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or

is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the
Class [R] Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of______________, 200_ (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[R] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial
Mortgage Corporation, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Class [R] Certificate is a "residual interest" in a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

[R] Certificates shall be the "tax matters person" for the Upper-Tier REMIC
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Servicer is hereby
irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any
such Person that is the "tax matters person".

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Paying Agent to
the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this
Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with
Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at
the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class [R] Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent under Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deliver payments to a Person other than such
Person. The rights of each Person acquiring any
A-11-4
<PAGE>
Ownership Interest in a Class [R] Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions: (A) No Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Class [R] Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof
(including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an "Agent"), a Plan or a
Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or
Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or a Non-U.S. Person and shall promptly
notify the Servicer, the Trustee, Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar of
any change or impending change to such status; (B) In connection with any
proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class [R] Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class
[R] Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an
affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit") from the proposed Transferee,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing
and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified
Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) Notwithstanding the
delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B)
above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited
Holder or a Non-U.S. Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class [R]
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) Each Person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class [R] Certificate shall
agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to
whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class [R]
Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class [R]
Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter
substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
Exhibit D-2 (a "Transferor Letter") certifying that, among other things, it has
no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, an Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person.

exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any of
their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the
A-11-5
<PAGE>
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that may be inconsistent with any other provisions
herein or therein or to correct any error; to maintain the rating or ratings
assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency; to modify,
eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent as is necessary to maintain
the qualification of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of any tax, provided, however, an
Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such tax and such action will
not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current
rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such Rating Agency to
such effect; to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Certificate
Account or Distribution Account or REO Account or to change the name in which
the Certificate Account is maintained, provided, however, that the P&I Advance
Date shall not be later than the related Distribution Date, an Opinion of
Counsel is obtained to the effect that such action shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder and that such action
will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in
A-11-6

respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect
termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding
Certificates, on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is
reduced to less than __% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all
the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid
for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on

(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Special Servicer,
the Servicer and the Fiscal Agent. A summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein
called the "Certificates") and representing an interest in the Class of
Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a
percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified
on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class
[LR] Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the GE Capital Commercial

1997-2 and are issued in [twelve] Classes as specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate
100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with
respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties
evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is
bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate
and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Class [LR] Certificate is a "residual interest" in a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit," as those terms are defined, respectively,
in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any
such Person that is the "tax matters person".

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Paying Agent to
the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this
Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other
things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as
more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account will be held in the name of the Servicer and Paying Agent,
respectively, on behalf of the holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer (with respect to the Certificate
Account) or the Paying Agent (with respect to the Distribution Account) will be
authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts
may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other income earned on
funds in the Certificate Account and Distribution Account will be paid to the
Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall
be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses
incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration
of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a
Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the
final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the
related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the
Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder (1) has provided
the Trustee and Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing as least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (2) is the Holder of
Certificates with an original Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as
applicable, of at least $_________, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate
shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of
the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set
aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering
Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(g) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Paying Agent shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Paying Agent may, directly or through an agent, take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding
such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out
of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with
Section 4.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate
for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at
the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class [LR] Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Paying Agent under Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deliver payments to a Person other than such
Person. The rights of each Person acquiring any

Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit") from the proposed Transferee,

and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified
Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) Notwithstanding the
delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B)
above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or an Agent thereof, an ERISA
Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a Class [LR] Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D)
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class [LR]
Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit from any prospective
Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in
such Class [LR] Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in
such Class [LR] Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a
letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as Exhibit D-2 (a "Transferor Letter") certifying that, among other things, it
has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, an Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Person.

exchange referred to in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors as provided in
Section 5.02(h) thereof. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional
Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs
(including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's review of the
documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to
the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with
such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge
payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer, the

nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the

A-12-5
<PAGE>
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein that may be inconsistent with any other provisions
herein or therein or to correct any error; to maintain the rating or ratings
assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency; to modify,
eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent as is necessary to maintain
the qualification of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC to avoid or minimize the imposition of any tax, provided, however, an
Opinion of Counsel is obtained to the effect that such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder
and such action is necessary or desirable to avoid such tax and such action will
not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current
rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such Rating Agency to
such effect; to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Certificate
Account or Distribution Account or REO Account or to change the name in which
the Certificate Account is maintained, provided, however, that the P&I Advance
Date shall not be later than the related Distribution Date, an Opinion of
Counsel is obtained to the effect that such action shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder and that such action
will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the
then-current rating by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from such
Rating Agency to such effect; to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision
thereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by virtue of their
being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change shall not result
in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the then-current rating
assigned to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect, and such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax
caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a
Non-U.S. Person; and to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which shall not be
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not
less than ___% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of such Certificateholder; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of
Certificates without the consent of the Holders of such Class then
outstanding; or
(iv) amend Section 11.01.
No amendment shall be made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment
will not cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC.
Any of the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Holders of the
Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class [LR] Certificates (in that order)
will have the option, upon 60 days' prior notice given to the Trustee, Paying
Agent and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
which notice the Paying Agent is required to promptly forward to
Certificateholders and Rating Agencies in the manner set forth in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in
A-12-6
<PAGE>
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect
termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding
Certificates, on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is
reduced to less than __% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all
the Mortgage Loans.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Paying Agent to
make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all
the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment
resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property)
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event,
however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid
for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on
behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the
statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans.

Re: Transfer of GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of ____________, 200_ (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), by and among GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as
Depositor, _____________________, as Servicer, __________________, as Special
Servicer, ________________, as Fiscal Agent and _______________, as Trustee on
behalf of the holders of GE Capital Commercial Mortgage Corporation, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-_ (the "Certificates") in
connection with the transfer by _________________ (the "Seller") to the
undersigned (the "Purchaser") of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Balance
of Class ___ Certificates (the "Certificate"). Capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:
1. Check one of the following:*
|_| The Purchaser is an institutional "accredited investor" (an
entity meeting the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act")) and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the
Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it
is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the
Purchaser's or such account's
----------
* Purchaser must include one of the following two certificates.
C-1
<PAGE>
investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates
purchased by it for its own account or for one or more
accounts (each of which is an "institutional accredited
investor") as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole
investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to
reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in
connection with this transfer.
|_| The Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The
Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance
on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to
obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to
paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.
2. The Purchaser's intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for
investment for the Purchaser's own account or (b) for resale to (i) "qualified
institutional buyers" in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with
the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii)
to institutional "accredited investors" meeting the requirements of Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act,
pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933
Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (w) the receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in
compliance with the 1933 Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of
such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer,
resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the 1933 Act and other
applicable laws, and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any
costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser
understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been
registered under the 1933 Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the
registration provisions of the 1933 Act which depends upon, among other things,
the bona fide nature of the Purchaser's investment intent (or intent to resell
to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.
3. The Purchaser has reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum
relating to the Certificates (the "Private Placement Memorandum") and the
agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the
transactions contemplated by the Private Placement Memorandum.
4. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any
Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or
qualified under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any State or any other
jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be resold unless it is registered
or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or
qualification is available.
5. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of
a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a "Certificateholder"),
in all respects as if it were a
C-2
<PAGE>
signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the
Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.
6. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of
the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
7. Check one of the following:*
|_| The Purchaser is a U.S. Person (as defined below) and it has
attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 (or
successor form).
|_| The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person and under applicable law in
effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld
by the Trustee (or its agent) or the Paying Agent with respect to
distributions to be made on the Certificate. The Purchaser has
attached hereto either (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8 (or
successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial
owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser is not a
U.S. Person or (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form 4224 (or
successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial
owner of the Certificate and state that interest and original issue
