Item 1, Items 3 through 6, and Items 8 and 9 are not included because they are
not applicable.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On May 16, 1997, a single series of mortgage pass-through certificates,
entitled First Union -- Lehman Brothers Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-C1 (the "Certificates"), was
issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the "Pooling Agreement")
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and dated as of May 1, 1997, among First Union
Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as depositor (the "Registrant"), First
Union National Bank of North Carolina as master servicer, CRIIMI MAE Services
Limited Partnership as special servicer and State Street Bank and Trust Company
as trustee. The Certificates consist of sixteen classes (each, a "Class") of
Certificates, eight of which Classes are designated as the "Class A-1
Certificates", the "Class A-2 Certificates", the "Class A-3 Certificates", the
"Class B Certificates", the "Class C Certificates", the "Class D Certificates",
the "Class E Certificates" and the "Class IO Certificates" (collectively, the
"Offered Certificates"); and eight of which Classes are designated as the "Class
F Certificates", the "Class G Certificates", the "Class H Certificates", the
"Class J Certificates", the "Class K Certificates", the "Class R-I
Certificates", the "Class R-II Certificates" and the "Class R-III Certificates"
(collectively, the "Private Certificates"). The Certificates evidence in the
aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") consisting primarily of 283 multifamily and commercial mortgage loans
(the "Mortgage Loans") having an aggregate principal balance as of May 1, 1997
(the "Cut-off Date") of $1,305,448,224. Each Mortgage Loan is secured by a first
mortgage lien on a fee simple estate in an income producing property with the
exception of ten Mortgage Loans which are fully secured by a leasehold estate in
income-producing real property.

     One hundred fifty-five (155) of the Mortgage Loans (the "Lehman Loans")
showing an aggregate principal balance of $784,188,582.16 (the "Lehman
Balance"), were acquired by the Registrant from an affiliate of Lehman Brothers
Inc. (the "Lehman Seller") and one hundred twenty-eight (128) of the Mortgage
Loans (the "FUNBNC Loans"), having an aggregate principal balance of
$521,259,642.31 (the "FUNBNC Balance"), were acquired by the Registrant from
First Union National Bank of North Carolina ("FUNBNC," and together with the
Lehman Seller, the "Sellers") pursuant to two Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements,
each dated as of May 1, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreements"), between the Registrant
and each of the Sellers. The purchase prices (collectively the "Purchase Price")
for the Lehman Loans and the FUNBNC Loans paid by the Registrant to the Sellers
consisted of (i) a cash amount equal to 100% of the Lehman Balance and 100% of
the FUNBNC Balance plus (ii) interest accrued on each of the Lehman Loans and
the FUNBNC Loans at the related Net Mortgage Rate, for the period from and
including the Cut-off Date up to but not including the Closing Date. The source
of funds for payment of the Purchase Price was the proceeds derived from the
sale of the Certificates by the Registrant to Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI") and
First Union Capital Markets Corp. ("First Union") pursuant to an Underwriting
Agreement, dated as of May 9, 1997 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the
Registrant, LBI and First Union (pertaining to the Offered Certificates) and a
Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 9, 1997, among the Registrant,
LBI and First Union (pertaining to the Private Certificates). The Registrant is
a wholly-owned limited purpose finance subsidiary of First Union. On May 16,

     amount equal to the aggregate interest accrued on the notional amount of

Dear Sirs:

National Bank of North Carolina and the Company. The Underwritten Certificates
and the Mortgage Pool are described more fully in Schedule I hereto and in a
registration statement furnished to you by the Company.

     Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     1. Representations and Warranties. (I) The Company represents and warrants
to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:

          (a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     (the "Commission") a registration statement (No. 33-97994) on Form S-3 for
     the registration of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, issuable
     in series, including the Underwritten Certificates, under the Securities
     Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), which registration statement has
     become effective and a copy of which, as amended to the date hereof, has
     heretofore been delivered to you. The Company meets the requirements for
     use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, and such registration statement, as
     amended at the date hereof, meets the requirements set forth in Rule
     415(a)(1)(x) under the 1933 Act and complies in all other material respects
     with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company
     proposes to file with the Commission, with your consent, pursuant to Rule
     424 under the 1933 Act, a supplement dated May 9, 1997 (the "Prospectus
     Supplement") to the prospectus dated April 29, 1997 (the "Basic
     Prospectus"), relating to the Underwritten Certificates and the method of
     distribution thereof, and has previously advised you of all further
     information (financial and other) with respect to the Underwritten
     Certificates and the Mortgage Pool to be set forth therein. Such
     registration statement (No. 33-97994), including all exhibits thereto, is
     referred to herein as the "Registration Statement"; and the Basic
     Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together with any amendment
     thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company prior to the
     Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of the Underwritten
     Certificates, are hereinafter called the "Prospectus". Any preliminary form
     of the Prospectus Supplement that has heretofore been filed pursuant to
     Rule 424 or, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement,
     pursuant to Rule 402(a) or 424(a), is hereinafter called a "Preliminary
     Prospectus Supplement". If so stated in the Prospectus Supplement, the
     Company will file with the Commission within fifteen days of the issuance
     of the Underwritten Certificates a report on Form 8-K ("8-K") setting forth
     specific information concerning the Mortgage Pool and the Underwritten
     Certificates to the extent that such information is not set forth in the
     Prospectus Supplement.

          (b) As of the date hereof, as of the date on which the Prospectus
     Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, as of
     the date on which, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to the
     Registration Statement becomes effective, as of the date on which any
     supplement to the Prospectus Supplement is filed with the 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

     Commission, and as of the Closing Date, (i) the Registration Statement, as
     amended as of any such time, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented
     as of any such time, complies and will comply in all material respects with
     the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations
     thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such
     time, does not contain and will not contain any untrue statement of a
     material fact and does not omit and will not omit to state any material
     fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
     statements therein not misleading, and (iii) the Prospectus, as amended or
     supplemented as of any such time, does not contain and will not contain any
     untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not omit to
     state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
     in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or
     warranties as to statements contained in or omitted from the Registration
     Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in
     reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
     the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through you specifically for
     use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (such information
     being identified in Section 8).

          (c) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as
     a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of North
     Carolina with corporate power and authority to own, lease or operate its
     properties and to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter
     into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign
     corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each
     jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of
     the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business.

          (d) As of the date hereof, as of the date on which the Prospectus
     Supplement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, as of
     the date on which, prior to the Closing Date, any amendment to the
     Registration Statement becomes effective, as of the date on which any
     supplement to the Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission, and
     as of the Closing Date, there has not and will not have been (i) any
     request by the Commission for any further amendment to the Registration
     Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) any
     issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
     of the Registration Statement or the institution or threat of any
     proceeding for that purpose or (iii) any notification with respect to the
     suspension of the qualification of the Underwritten Certificates for sale
     in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
     purpose.

          (e) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
     the Company, and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, when executed and
     delivered as contemplated hereby and thereby, will have been duly
     authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; and this Agreement
     constitutes, and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, when so executed and
     delivered will constitute, legal, valid and binding agreements of the
     Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i)
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other
     similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors
     generally, (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought
     in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (iii) public policy considerations
     underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy
     considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement
     or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that purport to provide
     indemnification from securities law liabilities.

          (f) As of the Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates and the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement will conform in all material respects to
     the respective descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus. As of the
     Closing Date, the Underwritten Certificates will be duly and validly
     authorized and, when duly and validly executed, authenticated and delivered
     in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to you against
     payment therefor as provided herein, will be duly and validly issued and
     outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement.

          (g) As of the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loans will meet the
     criteria for selection described in the Prospectus, and on the Closing Date
     the representations and warranties of the Company with respect to the
     Mortgage Loans contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be
     true and correct in all material respects.

          (h) The Company is not in violation of its certificate of
     incorporation or by-laws or in default under any agreement, indenture or
     instrument the effect of which violation or default would be material to
     the Company or which violation or default would have a material adverse
     affect on the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Neither the issuance and sale of the
     Underwritten Certificates, nor the execution and delivery by the Company of
     this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the consummation
     by the Company of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated,
     nor compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof or thereof, does
     or will conflict with or result in a breach of any term or provision of the
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or conflict with,
     result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default
     under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which
     the Company is a party or by which it or any material asset is bound, or
     any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Company of any court,
     regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
     jurisdiction over the Company.

          (i) Other than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, there
     is no action, suit or proceeding against the Company pending, or, to the
     knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any court, arbitrator,
     administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of
     this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Underwritten
     Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     Underwritten Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
     (iii) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
     Company of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,
     this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Underwritten
     Certificates or (iv) seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax
     attributes of the Underwritten Certificates as described in the Prospectus.

          (j) There are no contracts, indentures or other documents of a
     character required by the 1933 Act or by the rules and regulations
     thereunder to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or
     the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement
     which have not been so described or referred to therein or so filed or
     incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.

          (k) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental
     authority or agency is necessary in connection with the offering, issuance
     or sale of the Underwritten Certificates pursuant to this Agreement and the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except such as have been, or as of the
     Closing Date will have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required
     under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and
     offer and sale of the Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters and any
     recordation of the respective assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the
     Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that have not been
     completed.

          (l) The Company possesses all material licenses, certificates,
     authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign
     regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now
     operated by it, and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings
     relating to the revocation or modification of any such license,
     certificate, authority or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
     subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially
     and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the
     earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company.

          (m) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with
     the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement or the execution, delivery and sale of the Underwritten
     Certificates (other than such federal, state and local taxes as may be
     payable on the income or gain recognized therefrom) have been or will be
     paid at or prior to the Closing Date.

          (n) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the
     Trustee, the Company will have good title to, and will be the sole owner
     of, each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any pledge, mortgage, lien,
     security interest or other encumbrance.

          (o) Neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is, and neither the
     issuance and sale of the Underwritten Certificates in the manner
     contemplated by the Prospectus nor

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     the activities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement will cause the Company or the Trust Fund to be, an "investment
     company" or under the control of an "investment company" as such terms are
     defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment
     Company Act").

          (p) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and for
     federal income tax purposes, the Company will report the transfer of the
     Mortgage Loans to the Trustee in exchange for the Underwritten Certificates
     and the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters pursuant
     to this Agreement as a sale of the interests in the Mortgage Loans
     evidenced by the Underwritten Certificates. The consideration received by
     the Company upon the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the
     Underwriters will constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair
     consideration for the Underwritten Certificates. The Company will be
     solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered insolvent
     by, the sale of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters and the
     transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund.
     The Company is not selling the Underwritten Certificates to the
     Underwriters or transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of
     the Trust Fund with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the
     creditors of the Company.

          (q) At the Closing Date, the respective classes of Underwritten
     Certificates shall have been assigned ratings no lower than those set forth
     in Schedule 1 hereto by the nationally recognized statistical rating
     organizations identified in Schedule 1 hereto (individually and
     collectively, the "Rating Agency").

          (r) At the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties of
     the Company set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be true
     and correct in all material respects.

     (II) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, (i) such Underwriter has complied in
all material respects with all of its obligations under Section 4 hereof and
(ii) with respect to all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets, if any,
provided by such Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b)(iv), such
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets are accurate in all material
respects (taking into account the assumptions explicitly set forth in the
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets or in the Prospectus Supplement or
the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, and provided that the underlying data
regarding the Mortgage Loans, and the related Mortgagors and Mortgaged
Properties, provided to the Underwriters by the Mortgage Loan Sellers is
accurate and complete in all material respects) and constitute a complete set of
all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets that are required to be filed
with the Commission pursuant to Section 5(g).

     2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance
upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Company agrees to
sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly,
to purchase from the Company, at the applicable purchase prices set forth in
Schedule I hereto, the respective

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

principal and notional amounts of the Underwritten Certificates set forth
opposite the name of each Underwriter set forth in Schedule II hereto, and any
additional portions of the Underwritten Certificates that any such Underwriter
may be obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 10, in all cases plus accrued
interest as set forth in Schedule I.

     3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten
Certificates shall be made in the manner, at the location(s), on the date and at
the time specified in Schedule I hereto (or such later date not later than ten
business days after such specified date as you shall designate), which date and
time may be changed by agreement between you and the Company or as provided in
Section 10 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the
Underwritten Certificates being herein called the "Closing Date"). Delivery of
the Underwritten Certificates shall be made either directly to you or through
the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), as specified in Schedule
I hereto, for the respective accounts of the Underwriters against payment by the
respective Underwriters through you of the purchase price therefor in
immediately available funds wired to such bank as may be designated by the
Company, or such other manner of payment as may be agreed upon by the Company
and you. Any Class of Underwritten Certificates to be delivered through the
facilities of DTC shall be represented by one or more global Certificates
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, which global
Certificate(s) shall be placed in the custody of DTC not later than 10:00 a.m.

through the facilities of DTC, the Underwritten Certificates shall be in fully
registered certificated form, in such denominations and registered in such names
as you may have requested in writing not less than one full business day in
advance of the Closing Date.

     The Company agrees to have the Underwritten Certificates, including the
global Certificates representing the Underwritten Certificates to be delivered
through the facilities of DTC, available for inspection, checking and, if
applicable, packaging by you in New York, New York, not later than the close of
business (New York City time) on the business day preceding the Closing Date.

     References herein, including, without limitation, in the Schedules hereto,
to actions taken or to be taken following the Closing Date with respect to any
Underwritten Certificates that are to be delivered through the facilities of DTC
shall include, if the context so permits, actions taken or to be taken with
respect to the interests in such Certificates as reflected on the books and
records of DTC.

     4. Offering by Underwriters.

          (a) It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the
     Underwritten Certificates for sale to the public, including, without
     limitation, in and from the State of New York, as set forth in the
     Prospectus Supplement. It is further understood that the Company, in
     reliance upon an exemption from the Attorney General of the State of New
     York to be granted pursuant to Policy Statement 104 and 105, has not and
     will

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     not file the offering pursuant to Section 352-e of the General Business Law
     of the State of New York with respect to the Underwritten Certificates
     which are not "mortgage related securities" as defined in the 1934 Act (as
     defined below). Each of the Underwriters therefore covenants and agrees
     with the Company that sales of the Class C, D and E Certificates made by
     such Underwriter in and from the State of New York will be made only to
     institutional investors within the meaning of Policy Statement 105;
     provided, however, upon approval of the application for an exemption
     pursuant to Policy Statement 104, sales of the Class C Certificates may be
     made in accordance therewith.

          (b) Each Underwriter may prepare and provide to prospective investors
     certain Computational Materials, Structural Term Sheets or Collateral Term
     Sheets in connection with its offering of the Certificates, subject to the
     following conditions:

               (i) Such Underwriter shall comply with the requirements of the
          no-action letter, dated May 20, 1994, issued by the Commission to
          Kidder, Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co.
          Incorporated and Kidder Structured Asset Corporation, as made
          applicable to other issuers and underwriters by the Commission in
          response to the request of the Public Securities Association, dated
          May 25, 1994 (collectively, the "Kidder/PSA Letter"), and the
          requirements of the no-action letter, dated February 17, 1995, issued
          by the Commission to the Public Securities Association (the "PSA
          Letter" and, together with the Kidder/PSA Letter, the "No-Action
          Letters").

               (ii) For purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" shall have
          the meaning given such term in the No-Action Letters, but shall
          include only those Computational Materials that have been prepared or
          delivered to prospective investors by or at the direction of such
          Underwriter. For purposes hereof, "ABS Term Sheets," "Structural Term
          Sheets" and "Collateral Term Sheets" shall have the meanings given
          such terms in the PSA Letter but shall include only those ABS Term
          Sheets, Structural Term Sheets or Collateral Term Sheets that have
          been prepared for or delivered to prospective investors by or at the
          direction of such Underwriter.

               (iii) All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets provided to
          prospective investors shall bear a legend in a form previously
          approved in writing by the Company or its counsel.

               (iv) Such Underwriter shall not distribute any such Computational
          Materials or ABS Term Sheets unless the forms and methodology thereof
          are in accordance with this Agreement. Such Underwriter shall provide
          to the Company, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in Section 5(g),
          copies (in such format as required by the Company) of all
          Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets. The Underwriter may
          provide copies of the foregoing in a consolidated or aggregated form
          including all information required to be filed.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

          All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets described in this
          subsection (iv) must be provided to the Company (a) in paper or
          electronic format suitable for filing with the Commission and (b) not
          later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a business day that is
          not less than one business day before filing thereof is required
          pursuant to the terms of the No-Action Letters.

               (v) All information included in the Computational Materials and
          ABS Term Sheets shall be generated based on substantially the same
          methodology and assumptions as are used to generate the information in
          the Prospectus Supplement as set forth therein; provided that the
          Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets may include information
          based on alternative methodologies or assumptions if specified
          therein. If any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets were based
          on assumptions with respect to the Mortgage Pool that differ from the
          final Pool Information in any material respect or on Underwritten
          Certificate structuring assumptions (except in the case of
          Computational Materials when the different structuring terms were
          hypothesized and so described) that were revised in any material
          respect prior to the printing of the Prospectus, then to the extent
          that it has not already done so, such Underwriter shall immediately
          inform the Company and, upon the direction of the Company, and if not
          corrected by the Prospectus, shall prepare revised Computational
          Materials and ABS Term Sheets, as the case may be, based on the final
          Pool Information and structuring assumptions, circulate such revised
          Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the
          preliminary versions thereof, and include such revised Computational
          Materials and ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as revised") in the materials
          delivered to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above.

               (vi) The Company shall not be obligated to file any Computational
          Materials or ABS Term Sheets that have been determined to contain any
          material error or omission, provided that the Company will file
          Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets that contain a material
          error or, when read together with the Prospectus, a material omission
          if clearly marked (A) "superseded by materials dated ____________ __"
          and accompanied by corrected Computational Materials or ABS Term
          Sheets that are marked "material previously dated ___________ __, as
          corrected", or (B) if the material error or omission is to be
          corrected in the Prospectus, "superseded by materials contained in the
          Prospectus." If, within the period during which the Prospectus
          relating to the Underwritten Certificates is required to be delivered
          under the 1933 Act, any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets are
          determined, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or such
          Underwriter, to contain a material error or, when read together with
          the Prospectus, a material omission, then (unless the material error
          or omission was corrected in the Prospectus) the Underwriter shall
          prepare a corrected version of such Computational Materials or ABS
          Term Sheets, shall circulate such corrected Computational Materials or
          ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          versions thereof, and shall deliver copies of such corrected
          Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as corrected") to
          the Company for filing with the Commission in a subsequent Form 8-K
          submission (subject to the Company's obtaining an accountant's comfort
          letter in respect of such corrected Computational Materials and ABS
          Term Sheets, which shall be at the expense of such Underwriter).

               (vii) Such Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of
          the Closing Date, that except for Computational Materials and/or ABS
          Term Sheets provided to the Company pursuant to subsection (iv) above,
          such Underwriter did not provide any prospective investors with any
          information in written or electronic form in connection with the
          offering of the Underwritten Certificates that is required to be filed
          with the Commission in accordance with the No-Action Letters.

               (viii) In the event of any delay in the delivery by such
          Underwriter to the Company of all Computational Materials and ABS Term
          Sheets required to be delivered in accordance with subsection (iv)
          above, the Company shall have the right to delay the release of the
          Prospectus to investors or to the Underwriter, to delay the Closing
          Date and to take other appropriate actions in each case as necessary
          in order to allow the Company to comply with its agreement set forth
          in Section 5(g) to file the Computational Materials and ABS Term
          Sheets by the time specified therein.

               (ix) Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets may be
          distributed by the Underwriter through electronic means in accordance
          with SEC Release No. 33-7233 (the "Release").

          (c) Each Underwriter further agrees that it shall promptly provide the
     Company with such information as to matters of fact as the Company may
     reasonably request to enable it to comply with its reporting requirements
     with respect to each class of Underwritten Certificates to the extent such
     information can in the good faith judgment of the Underwriter be determined
     by it.

     5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Underwriters that:

          (a) The Company will not file any amendment to the Registration
     Statement or any supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to or
     affecting the Underwritten Certificates, unless the Company has furnished a
     copy to you for your review prior to filing, and will not file any such
     proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to
     the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Prospectus Supplement to
     be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the
     1933 Act or will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed with the
     Commission pursuant to said Rule 424. The Company promptly will advise you
     or counsel for the Underwriters (i) when the Prospectus Supplement shall
     have been filed 

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     or transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424, (ii) when
     any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have become effective,
     (iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the Registration Statement
     or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or for any additional information
     in respect of the offering contemplated hereby, (iv) of the issuance by the
     Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
     Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto which shall
     have become effective on or prior to the Closing Date or the institution or
     threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) of the receipt by
     the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
     qualification of the Underwritten Certificates for sale in any jurisdiction
     or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. The
     Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop
     order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the
     withdrawal thereof.

          (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Underwritten
     Certificates is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any event
     occurs as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or
     supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
     to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
     light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or
     if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply
     with the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, the Company
     promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, at the expense of the
     Company, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or
     supplement that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment
     that will effect such compliance and, if such amendment or supplement is
     required to be contained in a post-effective amendment to the Registration
     Statement, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such amendment to
     the Registration Statement to be made effective as soon as possible.

          (c) The Company will furnish to you and to counsel for the
     Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement
     (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become
     effective on or prior to the Closing Date, and to each other Underwriter a
     copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and each such
     amendment and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or
     dealer may be required by the 1933 Act, as many copies of any Preliminary
     Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Basic Prospectus
     and any amendments and supplements thereto as you may reasonably request.

          (d) The Company will furnish such information, execute such
     instruments and take such action, if any, as may be required to qualify the
     Underwritten Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as
     you may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long
     as required for the distribution of the Underwritten Certificates;
     provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do
     business in any jurisdiction where it is not now qualified or to take any


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     action that would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in
     any jurisdiction where it is not now subject to such service of process.

          (e) The Company will pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses
     in connection with the transactions herein contemplated, including, but not
     limited to, the fees and disbursements of its counsel; the costs and
     expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering the Pooling
     and Servicing Agreement and the Underwritten Certificates; the fees and
     disbursements of accountants for the Company; the costs and expenses in
     connection with the qualification or exemption of the Underwritten
     Certificates under state securities or "blue sky" laws, including filing
     fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection
     therewith, in connection with the preparation of any blue sky survey and in
     connection with any determination of the eligibility of the Underwritten
     Certificates for investment by institutional investors and the preparation
     of any legal investment survey; the expenses of printing any such blue sky
     survey and legal investment survey; the cost and expenses in connection
     with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement
     (including exhibits thereto), the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary
     Prospectus Supplement, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, the
     preparation and printing of this Agreement and the delivery to the
     Underwriters of such copies of the Basic Prospectus and each Preliminary
     Prospectus Supplement, if any, and Prospectus Supplement as you may
     reasonably request; and the fees of the Rating Agency that are rating the
     Underwritten Certificates. Except as provided in Section 7, the
     Underwriters shall be responsible for paying all costs and expenses
     incurred by them in connection with the purchase and sale of the
     Underwritten Certificates.

          (f) The Company will enter into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on
     or prior to the Closing Date, will enforce the rights of the Underwriters
     as third party beneficiaries thereunder as set forth in Section 11.09
     thereof and will not consent to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement that would adversely affect such rights of the Underwriters.

          (g) The Company shall, as to itself, and the Company, or pursuant to
     the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Trustee will be required to, as to
     the Trust Fund, satisfy and comply with all reporting requirements of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and the rules
     and regulations thereunder. The Company will also file with the Commission
     a report on Form 8-K setting forth all Computational Materials and ABS Term
     Sheets provided to the Company by an Underwriter and identified by it as
     such within the time period allotted for such filing pursuant to the
     No-Action Letters; provided, however, that prior to such filing of the
     Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets by the Company, each
     Underwriter must comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 4. The

     Company) has occurred since the date of the good standing certificate

          (f) You shall have received from Willkie Farr & Gallagher, special
     counsel for the Company, a favorable opinion, dated the Closing Date and
     satisfactory in form and substance to you and counsel for the Underwriters,
     to the effect that:

               (i) The Registration Statement and any amendments thereto have
          become effective under the 1933 Act; to the best knowledge of such
          counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
          Registration Statement, as amended, has been issued and not withdrawn,
          no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened and
          not terminated; and the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus,
          the Prospectus Supplement and each amendment or supplement thereto, as
          of their respective effective or issue dates (other than the financial
          statements, schedules and other financial and statistical information
          contained therein as to which such counsel need express no opinion),
          complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable
          requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;
          and such counsel has no reason to believe that (A) the Registration
          Statement (which, for purposes of this clause, shall be deemed not to
          include any exhibits filed therewith), or any amendment thereto, at
          the time it became effective, contained or, as of the date of such
          opinion, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
          or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that (B)
          the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, contains any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
          necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than
          the financial statements, schedules and other financial and
          statistical information contained therein as to which such counsel
          need express no opinion);

               (ii) To the best knowledge of such counsel, there are no material
          contracts, indentures or other documents of a character required to be
          described or referred to in the Registration Statement, as amended, or
          the Prospectus Supplement or to be filed as exhibits to the
          Registration Statement, as amended, other than those described or
          referred to therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits
          thereto;

               (iii) To the best knowledge of such counsel, there are no
          actions, proceedings or investigations pending before or threatened by
          any court, administrative agency or other tribunal to which the
          Company is a party or of 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

          which any of its properties is the subject (a) which if determined
          adversely to the Company would have a material adverse effect on the
          business or financial condition of the Company, (b) asserting the
          invalidity of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
          the Underwritten Certificates, (c) seeking to prevent the issuance of
          the Underwritten Certificates or the consummation by the Company of
          any of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement or this Agreement, as the case may be, or (d) which might
          materially and adversely affect the performance by the Company of its
          obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Pooling
          and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the Underwritten
          Certificates;

               (iv) Each of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
          Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
          Company, and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement constitutes a valid,
          legal, binding and enforceable agreement of the Company, subject, as
          to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
          moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
          generally, to general principles of equity regardless of whether
          enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and public
          policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent
          that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the
          provisions of this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
          that purport to provide indemnification from securities law
          liabilities;

               (v) The Underwritten Certificates, when duly and validly executed
          and authenticated in the manner contemplated in the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement and delivered and paid for by the Underwriters as
          provided herein, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and
          entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

               (vi) The statements set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under
          the headings "Description of the Certificates" and "Servicing of the
          Mortgage Loans" and in the Basic Prospectus under the headings
          "Description of the Certificates" and "Description of the Pooling
          Agreements", insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain
          provisions of the Underwritten Certificates and the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement, are true and correct in all material respects;

               (vii) The statements set forth in the Basic Prospectus and the
          Prospectus Supplement under the headings "Certain Federal Income Tax
          Consequences", "ERISA Considerations" and "Legal Investment", to the
          extent that they constitute matters of federal law or legal
          conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects
          with respect to those consequences or aspects that are discussed;

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

               (viii) Any Class of Underwritten Certificates will be "mortgage
          related securities", as defined in Section 3(a)(41) of the 1934 Act,
          so long as such Certificates are rated "AAA" or "AA" (or its
          equivalent) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
          organization;

               (ix) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be
          qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and
          neither the Company nor the Trust Fund is required to be registered
          under the Investment Company Act;

               (x) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any State of
          New York or federal court or governmental agency or body is required
          for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
          herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except (A) such as
          have been obtained under the 1933 Act, (B) such as may be required
          under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the
          offer and sale of the Underwritten Certificates by the Underwriters,
          as to which such counsel need express no opinion; and (C) any
          recordation of the assignments of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
          Pooling and Servicing Agreement that has not yet been completed.

               (xi) Assuming compliance with all provisions of the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement, for federal income tax purposes, REMIC I, REMIC
          II and REMIC III will each qualify as a real estate mortgage
          investment conduit (a "REMIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
          (the "Code"), the Class R-I Certificates will be the sole class of
          "residual interests" in REMIC I, the Class R-II Certificates will be
          the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC II, the Class A-1,
          Class A-2, Class A-3, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class IO,
          Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J and Class K Certificates will be
          the "regular interests" in REMIC III, and the Class R-III Certificates
          will be the sole class of "residual interests" in the REMIC III; and

               (xii) The Certificates conform in all material respects to the
          description thereof contained in the Prospectus; and the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement conforms in all material respects to the
          description thereof contained in the Prospectus.

     With respect to such opinion, such counsel may express its reliance as to
factual matters on the representations and warranties made by, and on
certificates or other documents furnished by officers of, the parties to this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; may assume the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the Company; may qualify such
opinion only as to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of
the State of New York, the laws of the State of North Carolina and the
corporation law of the State of Delaware; and may, to the extent deemed
necessary by

                                      -16-

such counsel, rely on the opinion of counsel in the regular employ of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company or independent North Carolina counsel.
Such counsel shall also confirm that the Underwriters may rely, on and as of the
Closing Date, on any opinion or opinions of such counsel submitted to any Rating
Agency as if addressed to the Underwriters and dated the Closing Date;

          consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated herein or
          therein will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any

          amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a

          that the foregoing indemnity with respect to the Basic Prospectus or
          any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement shall not inure to the benefit
          of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling such
          Underwriter) from whom the person asserting claims giving rise to any
          such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities purchased
          Underwritten Certificates if such untrue statement or omission or
          alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Basic Prospectus or
          such Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is eliminated or remedied in
          the Prospectus and, if required by law, a copy of the Prospectus shall
          not have been furnished to such person at or prior to the written
          confirmation of the sale of such Certificates to such person;

               (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
          expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
          paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
          proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
          threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
          statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
          omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
          the Company; and

               (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
          (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such
          Underwriter or, if more than one Underwriter is involved, by the
          Representative), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
          defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
          by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any
          claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or
          any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
          such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

      provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any
      loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any
      untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
      in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
      the Company by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration
      Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Basic Prospectus, any
      Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any
      amendment or supplement thereto).

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

          (b) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify
     and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who
     signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls
     the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any
     and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the
     indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but
     only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue
     statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any
     amendment thereto) or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus
     Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement
     thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
     furnished to the Company by such Underwriter expressly for use in the
     Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Basic
     Prospectus, such Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus
     Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided that in no
     event shall either Underwriter be liable for any such loss, liability,
     claim, damage or expense if such untrue statement or omission or alleged
     untrue statement or omission resulted from an untrue statement or omission
     in the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans, or the related
     Mortgagors or Mortgaged Properties, provided to the Underwriters by the
     Mortgage Loan Sellers. It is hereby acknowledged that (i) the statements
     set forth in the first sentence of the penultimate paragraph on the cover
     of the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the statements in the third, fourth and
     fifth paragraphs under the caption "Method of Distribution" in the
     Prospectus Supplement and (iii) the statements in any Computational
     Materials and ABS Term Sheets delivered by the Underwriters to the Company
     for filing with the Commission pursuant to this Agreement and the No-Action
     Letters, constitute the only written information furnished to the Company
     by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
     amendment thereto) or in the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
     Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement
     thereto).

          (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
     practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it
     in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so
     notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
     any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
     agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the
     defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written
     notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the
     aforesaid notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof,
     with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. In any such
     proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
     counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
     of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
     indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, or
     (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such
     action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a
     reasonable period following the indemnifying party's receiving notice of
     such action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including
     any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
     indemnified party and representation of both parties by the

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

     same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
     interests between them. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties
     be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (or, in the event
     the Company is the indemnifying party, one counsel for each Underwriter)
     (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or their own counsel
     for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate
     but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
     same general allegations or circumstances. Unless it shall assume the
     defense of any proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for
     any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but,
     if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
     plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party
     from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
     judgment. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding,
     it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the
     indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the
     indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding
     that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by
     the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the
     indemnified party.

     9. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 8 hereof
is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
the Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportions that each Underwriter is
responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that such
Underwriter's share of the underwriting discounts and commissions pertaining to
the Underwritten Certificates bears to the aggregate of the initial public
offering prices of the Underwritten Certificates and the Company is responsible
for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation; and provided, further, that in no event shall either
Underwriter be obligated to contribute more than its share of the underwriting
discounts and commissions pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates. It is
hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters' obligations under this
Section 9 shall be several and not joint. For purposes of this Section, each
person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

     10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail
to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be
purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally (in the respective proportions which the portion of


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

the Underwritten Certificates set forth opposite their names in Schedule II
hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth
opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) to purchase the
Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the amount of
Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of
Underwritten Certificates set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining
Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any
obligation to purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates,
this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter
or the Company, except as provided in Section 11. In the event of a default by
any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for the
Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding ten
business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents
or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and
any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

     11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto,
shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the
Company, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9, and shall survive delivery of the
Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.

     12. Termination of Agreement; Survival.

          (a) The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
     Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been,
     since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
     information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any
     material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
     earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its
     subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the
     ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak of
     hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the effect of
     which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the
     Representative, impracticable to market the Underwritten Certificates or to
     enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Certificates, or (iii)
     if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or
     if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York
     authorities.

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

          (b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
     termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party,
     except as provided in Section 11.

          (c) The provisions of Section 5(e) regarding the payment of costs and
     expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the
     termination of this Agreement.

     13. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by
any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be
directed to you at Three World Financial Center, New York, New York 10285,
attention: _________________; and notices to the Company shall be directed to it
at First Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., ______________________ ,
attention of President; or, in either case, such other address as may hereafter
be furnished by either the Representative or the Company to the other such party
in writing.

     14. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon each of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors.
Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters
and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and
officers and directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 and their heirs and legal
representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and
all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective
successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their
heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or
corporation. No purchaser of Underwritten Certificates from any Underwriter
shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

     15. Applicable Law; Counterparts. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed in said State. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original and all of which shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument.

     This Pooling and Servicing Agreement (this "Agreement") is dated and
effective as of May 1, 1997, among FIRST UNION COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES,
INC., as Depositor, FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA, as Master
Servicer, CRIIMI MAE SERVICES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, as Special Servicer, and
STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

     The Depositor intends to sell 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 a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") to be created hereunder.

     As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein) and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of
assets will be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Certificates will
represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under the federal income tax law. Except as
provided below, each of the "regular interests" in REMIC I (each, a "REMIC I
Regular Interest") will relate to a specific Mortgage Loan. Each such REMIC I
Regular Interest will have a remittance rate equal to the unmodified Net
Mortgage Rate (as defined herein) of the Mortgage Loan to which such REMIC I
Regular Interest relates, and an initial uncertificated stated principal amount
(an initial "Uncertificated Principal Balance") equal to the Cut-off Date
Balance (as defined herein) of the Mortgage Loan to which such REMIC I Regular
Interest relates.

     As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal income
tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC
II." The Class R-II Certificates will represent the sole class of "residual
interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income
tax law. The following table sets forth the designation, remittance rate (the
"REMIC II Remittance Rate"), the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and
latest possible maturity date for each of the "regular interests" in REMIC II
(the "REMIC II Regular Interests"). None of the REMIC II Regular Interests will
be certificated.

    1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii).

(3) Set to the date that is two years after the first Distribution Date that
    follows the end of the amortization term for the Mortgage Loan that, as of
    the Cut-off Date, has the longest amortization term.

     As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as
REMIC III. The Class R-III Certificates will evidence the sole class of
"residual interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under
federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, pass-through rate (the "Pass-Through Rate"), initial aggregate
stated principal amount (the initial "Class Principal Balance") and latest
possible maturity date for each of the Regular Certificates. For federal income
tax purposes, each of the twelve Components of the Class IO Certificate will be

          CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
                        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, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee, without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor, in, to and under (i) the Mortgage
Loans, (ii) Sections 3, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of each of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreements and (iii) all other assets included or to be included
in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received or
receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans and due after 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.

     (b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.01(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants
that it has directed, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, in each case pursuant to the
applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to and deposit with, or
cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee or a Custodian
appointed thereby (with a copy to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer),
on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan so
assigned. None of the Trustee, any Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall be liable for any failure by either Mortgage Loan Seller or the
Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the respective
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b).

     (c) The Trustee shall, at the Depositor's expense and direction, as to each
Mortgage Loan, promptly (and in any event within 30 days following the later of
Closing Date and the date on which the complete Mortgage File for such Mortgage
Loan (including all necessary recording and filing information) has been
delivered to the Trustee or its agent) cause to be submitted for recording or
filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property
records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate and to the extent delivered
to the Custodian, each assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of
Leases and any other recordable documents relating to the Mortgage Loan, in
favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of "Mortgage
File" and each UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment in favor of the Trustee and delivered
to the Custodian and referred to in clause (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage
File." Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the
public recording office to the Custodian or its agent following recording, and
each such UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment shall reflect that the file copy thereof
should be returned to the Custodian or its agent following filing; provided that
in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases the Custodian shall
obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. The Trustee, at its
expense, shall cause a copy of each recorded assignment and other documents
recorded pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) to be delivered to the Master


<PAGE>



                                      -48-


Servicer and the Special Servicer within 30 days of such recording. If any such
document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case
may be, because of a defect therein, the Trustee shall direct the appropriate
Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
promptly to prepare or cause to be prepared 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.

     (d) All documents and records in the possession of the Depositor or the
Mortgage Loan Sellers that relate to the Mortgage Loans and that are not
required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition
thereof shall be delivered to the Master Servicer or such other Person as may be
directed by the Master Servicer (at the expense of the Depositor or the
applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) on or before the Closing Date and shall be held
by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have no
responsibility for holding documents created or maintained by the Special
Servicer hereunder and not required to be delivered to the Master Servicer.

     (e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to Section
2.01(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Custodian and the Special
Servicer on or before the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of
each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the
Closing Date.

     SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.

     (a) The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement,
acknowledges receipt of the Depositor's assignment to it of its right, title and
interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets constituting REMIC I, and
further acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the
proviso in the definition of "Mortgage File" and the provisions of Section 2.01
and subject to the further review provided for in Section 2.02(b), of (i) the
Mortgage File delivered to it for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) a copy of a fully
executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, all 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 received
by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will
hold the Mortgage Loans and other assets included in REMIC I, in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee hereby certifies to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Sellers, that except as identified in a
written notice, a copy of which shall have been delivered by the Trustee or a
Custodian on its behalf on or prior to the Closing Date to each of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Sellers, without regard to
the proviso in the definition of "Mortgage File," each of the documents
specified in clause (i) of the definition of Mortgage File or a certified copy
thereof are in its possession or the possession of a Custodian on its behalf. In
addition, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Closing, the Trustee or the
Custodian on its behalf will review the Mortgage Files and certify to each of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, each Rating Agency and
the Mortgage Loan Sellers that, except as


<PAGE>



                                      -49-


specifically identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery
in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C, (i) without regard to the
proviso in the definition of "Mortgage File", all documents specified in clauses
(i) through (v), clause (vii) and, to the extent provided in the Mortgage File,
clauses (vi) and (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its
possession, (ii) all documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the
related Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the related Mortgage File have been
reviewed by it 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 (ii), (v) and (vi)(B) of the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" is correct. Notwithstanding the above, the Custodian
may deliver a revised Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery to the
Depositor within 30 days after the Closing Date. Such revised schedule shall be
treated as if it was attached hereto as Exhibit C.

     (b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall certify in
writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Majority Subordinate Certificateholder 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) documents specified in clauses (i) through
(v), clause (vii) and, to the extent provided in the Mortgage File, clauses (vi)
and (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession or the
possession of a Custodian on its behalf, (ii) all documents received by it in
respect of such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it or a Custodian on its
behalf and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and
(iii) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this
Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in
clauses (ii), (v) and (vi)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" is
correct. In the event any exceptions are noted to the matters specified in this
subsection (b)(i), the Trustee shall issue and deliver to each of the parties
receiving the initial exception report, an updated exception report as to such
matters every 90 days until there are no remaining exceptions noted or the
second anniversary of the Closing Date. If upon the second anniversary of the
Closing Date any exceptions remain outstanding, the related Mortgage Loan Seller
shall, within 90 days of such anniversary: (i) cure such exception, (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan, or (iii) deliver to the Trustee an
opinion of counsel to the effect that such defect does not materially and
adversely affect the Certificateholders.

     (c) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any
Custodian is under any duty or obligation 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 valid, legal,
effective, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form, sufficient or appropriate
for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be
on their face.

      SECTION 2.03. Mortgage Loan Seller's Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for
                    Document Defects and Breaches of Representations and
                    Warranties.

     (a) If any party hereto discovers that any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is
missing, contains information that does not conform in any respect with the
corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not
appear to be regular on its face (each, a "Document Defect"), or discovers or
receives notice of a breach of any representation or warranty relating to the
Mortgage Loans set forth in Section 3 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement (a "Breach"), and such Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be,
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, such
party shall give prompt written notice to each of the Rating Agencies and the
other parties hereto. Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Document Defect
or Breach (including through such written notice provided by any party hereto,
as provided above), the Master Servicer shall request that the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from such Mortgage Loan Seller's receipt of
such notice, cure such Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all
material respects, which shall include payment of losses and any Additional
Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith or, if such Document Defect or Breach
cannot be cured within the periods hereinafter set forth, repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that if such Document
Defect or Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90-day period and
such Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the
cure of such Document Defect or Breach within such 90-day period, such Mortgage
Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure; and
provided, further, that with respect to such additional 90-day period such
Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee setting forth the reason such Document Defect or Breach is not capable
of being cured within the initial 90-day period and what actions such Mortgage
Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that
such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Document Defect or Breach will
be cured within the additional 90-day period. If the Document Defect is still
not cured after the initial 90 days and thereafter the additional 90 day period
solely due to the failure of a recording office to have returned the recorded
document, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall certify to the Trustee every 30
days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of
the failure of a recording office to have returned the recorded document and
that the Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect,
specifying the actions being taken, and the repurchase obligation will be
deferred, but no such deferral of repurchase or cure may continue beyond the
time specified in Section 2.02. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be
repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Certificate Account as the
account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any
such repurchase of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released
basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue a
policy of lender's title insurance in lieu of the delivery of the


<PAGE>



                                      -51-

actual policy of lender's title insurance shall not be considered a Document
Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy of insurance is
delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf not later than the 90th
day following the Closing Date.

     (b) In connection with any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan contemplated by
this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each tender to the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller, upon
delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by such Mortgage Loan Seller, all
portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage
File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to
such Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to
appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms
pursuant to which documents were previously assigned to the Trustee; provided
that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the
Master Servicer of a Request for Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver
in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of
them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03, and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit
the Master Servicer to do so.

     (c) Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to the
Mortgage Loans purchased by the Depositor thereunder.

     SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of Depositor.

     (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, for its
own benefit and the benefit of the Certificateholders, and to the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer, as of the Closing Date, that:

          (i) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
     and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

          (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor,
     and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
     Depositor, will not violate the Depositor's certificate of incorporation or
     bylaws 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.

          (iii) The Depositor has the full power and authority to enter into and
     consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly


<PAGE>



                                      -52-


     authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
     has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

          (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal
     and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor
     in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
     enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of
     equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law.

          (v) The Depositor is not in violation of, and its execution and
     delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
     terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any
     order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
     of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which
     violation, in the Depositor's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
     to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Depositor to
     perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of
     the Depositor.

          (vi) The transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee as contemplated
     herein requires no regulatory approval, other than any such approvals as
     have been obtained, and is not subject to any bulk transfer or similar law
     in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

          (vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Depositor's
     knowledge, threatened against the Depositor that, if determined adversely
     to the Depositor, would prohibit the Depositor from entering into this
     Agreement or, in the Depositor's good faith and reasonable judgment, is

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND

     SECTION 3.01. Administration of the Mortgage Loans.

     (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans that each is obligated to service and administer
pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, in accordance with any and all applicable laws, the terms of
this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master
Servicer shall service and administer all Mortgage Loans that are not Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and
administer each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Property and shall
render such services with respect to all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as
are specifically provided for herein. All references herein to the respective
duties of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and to the areas in
which they may exercise discretion, shall be subject to Section 3.21.

     (b) Subject to Section 3.01(a), the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, subject to Section 6.11, 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 Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, in its own name, with respect to each of the Mortgage
Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee or any of them, (i) any and all financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien
created by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File
on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) in accordance
with the Servicing Standard and 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, at the written request of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, promptly furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer any limited powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable them to carry out their servicing and
administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer.

     (c) The relationship of each of the Master 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 venture, partner or

                                      -56-


     SECTION 3.02. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

     (a) Each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall undertake
reasonable efforts to collect all payments required under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow
such collection procedures in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Consistent
with the foregoing, the Special Servicer, with regard to a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, or the Master Servicer, with regard to a Mortgage Loan that is
not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, may waive any Penalty Interest or late
payment charge in connection with any payment on a Mortgage Loan.

     (b) All amounts collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan in the form of
payments from Mortgagors, Liquidation Proceeds (insofar as such Liquidation
Proceeds are of the nature described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the
definition thereof) or Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to either 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 or, if required
pursuant to the express provisions of the related Mortgage, or as determined by
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, and,
in the absence of such express provisions, shall be applied for purposes of this
Agreement: first, as a recovery of any related and unreimbursed Advances plus
interest accrued thereon; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest,
to the extent such amounts have not been previously advanced, at the related
Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan; third, as a recovery of principal of such
Mortgage Loan then due and owing, to the extent such amounts have not been
previously advanced, including, without limitation, by reason of acceleration of
the Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder; fourth, in accordance with the
normal servicing practices of the Master Servicer, as a recovery of any other
amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and Penalty Interest;
and fifth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the
extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance. All amounts collected
on any Mortgage Loan in the form of Liquidation Proceeds of the nature described
in clauses (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof shall be deemed to be applied:
first, as a recovery of any related and unreimbursed Advances plus interest
accrued thereon; second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest to, the
extent such amounts have not been previously advanced, on such Mortgage Loan to
but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period of receipt; and third,
as a recovery of principal, to the extent such amounts have not been previously
advanced, of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal
balance. No such amounts shall be applied to the items constituting additional
servicing compensation as described in the first sentence of Section 3.11(b)
unless and until all principal and interest then due and payable on such
Mortgage Loan has been collected. Amounts collected on any REO Loan shall be
deemed to be applied in accordance with the definition thereof. The provisions
of this paragraph with respect to the application of amounts collected on any
Mortgage Loan shall not alter in any way the right of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer to receive


<PAGE>



                                      -57-


payments from the Certificate Account as set forth in clauses (ii) through (xv)
of Section 3.05(a) from amounts so applied.

     SECTION 3.03. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
                   Accounts; Reserve Accounts.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans, establish and
maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all Escrow
Payments shall be deposited and retained. Each Servicing Account shall be an
Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account
may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only to:
(i) effect payment of Escrow Payments and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund
to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest,
if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing
Account; (v) pay itself interest and investment income on balances in the
Servicing Account as described in Section 3.06(b), if and to the extent not
required by law or the terms of Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor; or
(vi) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. To the extent permitted by law or the
applicable Mortgage Loan, funds in the Servicing Accounts may be invested in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The
Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest, if
any, earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby,
if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. If the Master
Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicing
Accounts shall not be considered part of the segregated pool of assets
constituting REMIC I.

     (b) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans, (i) maintain
accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the
status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may
become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents
payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time
to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums)
and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible,
the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan or, if such Mortgage Loan does not require the related
Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer
shall, as to all Mortgage Loans, enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage
that the Mortgagor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first
become due.

     (c) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans, make a Servicing
Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to all
such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real
estate taxes, assessments


<PAGE>



                                      -58-


and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums
on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments (if
any) collected from the related Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when
due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and
provided that the particular Servicing Advance would not, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. All such Servicing Advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors,
and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master
Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if
applicable, ground rents on or in respect of such Mortgaged Properties shall,
for purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Paying
Agent's calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the unpaid Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. The foregoing
shall in no way limit the Master Servicer's ability to charge and collect from
the Mortgagor such costs together with interest thereon.

     (d) In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance from the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), each of the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on
deposit in the Certificate Account, any unpaid interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually, accrued on the amount of
such Servicing Advance from the date made to but not including the date of
reimbursement. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Special
Servicer, as appropriate, for any Servicing Advance as soon as practicable after
funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account.

     (e) The determination by either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed
Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
shall be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and shall be evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee and the Depositor,
setting forth the basis for such determination, together with a copy of any
appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be;
which appraisal shall take into account the factors specified in Section
3.18(e), including without limitation, any environmental, engineering or other
third party reports available, and other factors that a prudent real estate
appraiser would consider and conducted in accordance with the standards of the
Appraisal Institute performed pursuant to Section 3.09(a) by the Master Servicer
or by the Special Servicer if the Mortgage Loan is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or,
if no such appraisal has been performed, a copy of an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the twelve months preceding
such determination by an Independent Appraiser or other expert in real estate
matters, and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and
financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property
and any engineers' reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that support such
determination.

     (f) The Master Servicer shall, as to all Mortgage Loans, establish and
maintain, as applicable, one or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into
which all


<PAGE>



                                      -59-


Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts
so deposited may be made (i) to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor
in connection with, the related repairs and/or capital improvements at the
related Mortgaged Property if the repairs and/or capital improvements have been
completed, and such withdrawals are made in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any agreement
with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds and (ii) to pay the
Master Servicer interest and investment income earned on amounts in the Reserve
Accounts as described below. To the extent permitted in the applicable Mortgage,
funds in the Reserve Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. All Reserve Accounts shall be
Eligible Accounts. The Reserve Accounts shall not be considered part of the
segregated pool of assets comprising REMIC I.

     SECTION 3.04. Certificate Account and Distribution Account.

     (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Certificate Account"), held on behalf of the Trustee in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Account shall
be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the Certificate Account, upon receipt (in the case of payments by
Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by the Master
Servicer or on its behalf 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, with negotiable instruments endorsed as
necessary and appropriate without recourse), 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 of the Mortgage Loans;

          (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
     including Penalty Interest;

          (iii) all Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges;

          (iv) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
     Liquidation Proceeds described in clause (vi) of the definition thereof
     that are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to
     Section 9.01) received in respect of any Mortgage Loan;

          (v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
     pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to
     Permitted Investments of funds held in the Certificate Account;


<PAGE>



                                      -60-


          (vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
     the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses
     resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard policy; and

          (vii) any amounts required to be transferred from an REO Account
     pursuant to Section 3.16(c).

     The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
exclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the
nature of Escrow Payments, amounts to be deposited in Reserve Accounts, and
amounts that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to retain
as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Sections 3.11(b) and (d), need
not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account. If the
Master 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. The
Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer as additional
servicing compensation in accordance with Sections 3.11(b) and (d) assumption
fees, late charges and other transaction fees received by the Master Servicer to
which the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to either of such Sections upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer
describing the item and amount. The Certificate Account shall be maintained as a
segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage
pass-through certificates of other series and the other accounts of the Master
Servicer.

     Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv)
above with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly,
but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to
the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account in accordance with
the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be
deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. 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 Master 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 such check to the order of
the Master Servicer and shall deliver promptly, but in no event later than three
Business Days after receipt, any such check to the Master Servicer by overnight
courier, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of
a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason.

     (b) The Paying Agent shall establish and maintain one or more trust
accounts (collectively, the "Distribution Account") to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent each month on or
before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit in the Distribution Account, an
aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to that portion of the
Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to


<PAGE>



                                      -61-


clauses (b)(ii)(B) and (b)(iii) of the definition thereof) for the related
Distribution Date then on deposit in the Certificate Account, together with (i)
any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges received on the Mortgage
Loans during the related Collection Period and (ii) in the case of the final
Distribution Date, any additional amounts contemplated by the second paragraph
of Section 9.01.

     In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder,
deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account:

          (i) any P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer in
     accordance with Section 4.03(a);

          (ii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
     pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses realized on Permitted
     Investments with respect to funds held in the Distribution Account;

          (iii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
     pursuant to Section 3.19 in connection with Prepayment Interest Shortfalls;
     and

          (iv) the Purchase Price paid by a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to
     Section 2.03 and the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of
     all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01,
     exclusive of the portion of such amounts required to be deposited in the
     Certificate Account pursuant to Section 9.01.

     The Paying Agent shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account
any and all amounts received by the Paying Agent that are required by the terms
of this Agreement to be deposited therein.

     (c) Funds in the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account may be
invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.06. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer
and the Rating Agencies 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. The Paying Agent shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies of the location of the
Distribution Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the
Distribution Account prior to any change thereof.

     SECTION 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Certificate Account and the
                   Distribution Account.

Certificate Account for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below
not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

     Account the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to the first
     paragraph of Section 3.04(b);

          (ii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed P&I Advances, the Master

     reimbursable pursuant to clause (vii) below) being limited to amounts that
     represent Late Collections of interest (net of the related Servicing Fees)
     on and principal (net of any related Principal Recovery Fee) received in

     SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve
                   Accounts, the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
                   and the REO Account.

     (a) The Master Servicer may direct in writing any depository institution
maintaining a Servicing Account, a Reserve Account or the Certificate Account
and may direct in writing the Paying Agent with respect to the Distribution
Account (each, for purposes of this Section 3.06, an "Investment Account"), and
the Special Servicer may direct in writing any depository institution
maintaining the REO Account (also, for purposes of this Section 3.06, an
"Investment Account"), to invest, or if it is such depository institution, may
itself invest, the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments
bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,
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. In the event that the Master Servicer shall have failed to give
investment directions for any Servicing Account, any Reserve Account, the
Certificate Account or Distribution Account (exclusive of any accounts as are
held by the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer shall have failed to give
investment directions for the REO Account by 11:00 A.M. New York time on any
Business Day on which there may be uninvested cash, such funds shall be invested
in securities described in clause (i) of the definition of the term "Permitted
Investments." All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds in


<PAGE>



                                      -66-


an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity
as such). The Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts
in the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts, the Certificate Account and the
Distribution Account) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in the REO Account), on behalf of the Trustee, shall (and
the Trustee hereby designates the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as
applicable, as the person that shall) maintain continuous possession of any
Permitted Investment 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. Possession of any such Permitted Investment by the Master
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. If amounts on deposit in an Investment
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account, Servicing Accounts
and Reserve Accounts), the Paying Agent (in the case of the Distribution
Account) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account) shall:

          (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand
     that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may
     otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
     amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
     on such date; and

          (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
     determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
     may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
     Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment
     Account.

     (b) Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in
any of the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts, the Certificate Account or
the Distribution Account, interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for
each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with
Section 3.03(a), 3.03(f) or 3.05(a) or withdrawal by the Paying Agent at its
direction in accordance with Sections 3.05(b), as applicable. Whether or not the
Special Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account, interest
and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the
Net Investment Earnings, if any, for each Collection Period, 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(b). If any loss shall be incurred in
respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the
Master Servicer (in the case of the Servicing Accounts, the Reserve Accounts,
the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account) and the Special Servicer
(in the case of the REO Account) shall promptly deposit therein from its own
funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the Collection
Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net Investment
Loss, if any, for such Collection Period.

                                      -67-


     (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 not less than 25% 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.

     (d) Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment Account,
for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
calculation of the Available Distribution Amount, the amounts so invested shall
be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.

     SECTION 3.07. Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and
                   Fidelity Coverage.

     (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than
Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property all insurance
coverage as is required under the related Mortgage; provided that if and to the
extent that any such Mortgage permits the holder thereof any discretion (by way
of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance coverage that the related
Mortgagor is required to maintain, the Master Servicer shall exercise such
discretion in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; and provided
further that, if and to the extent that a Mortgage so permits, the related
Mortgagor shall be required to exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain
the required insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that have a general
policy rating of at least A-X in A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide. The Majority
Subordinate Certificateholder may request that earthquake insurance be secured
for one or more Mortgaged Properties at the expense of the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder. Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall also
cause to be maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was
previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage; provided that
all such insurance shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers that, if they are
providing casualty insurance, shall have a claims paying ability rating of at
least "A," "A2" and "A" from Standard & Poor's, Moody's (if then rated by
Moody's) and Fitch (if then rated by Fitch), respectively (or solely Standard &
Poor's, if such insurer is not rated by Moody's or Fitch) or such lower rating
as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings
then assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the Rating
Agencies. All such insurance policies shall contain (if they insure against loss
to property and do not relate to an REO Property) a "standard" mortgagee clause,
with loss payable to the Master Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in
respect of Mortgage Loans), and shall be in the name of the Special Servicer (in
the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), on behalf of the
Trustee; in each case such insurance shall be issued by an insurer authorized
under applicable law to issue such insurance. Any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related


<PAGE>



                                      -68-


Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related
Mortgagor, in each case subject to the rights of any tenants and ground lessors,
as the case may be, and in each case in accordance with the terms of the related
Mortgage and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a), in the case of
amounts received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of amounts received in
respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes
hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

     (b) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and
maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties that it
is required to service and administer, then, to the extent such policy (i) is
obtained from a Qualified Insurer having a claims-paying rating of "A," "A2" and
"A" or better from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, respectively (or solely
Standard & Poor's, if such insurer is not rated by Moody's and Fitch) or such
lower rating of any Rating Agency or rating from any other nationally recognized
statistical rating agency as will not result in qualification, downgrading or
withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in
writing by the Rating Agencies, and (ii) provides protection equivalent to the
individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged
Properties and/or REO Properties. Such blanket policy may contain a deductible
clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, if there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a hazard insurance
policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have
been one or more losses that would have been covered by such policy, promptly
deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. The Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on
behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

     (c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times
during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at
all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans or REO Properties are part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with Qualified
Insurers a fidelity bond issued by an insurer having a claims-paying rating of
"A," "Baa3" and "A" or better from Standard & Poor's, Moody's (if then rated by
Moody's) and Fitch (if then rated by Fitch), respectively, or such lower rating
of any Rating Agency or rating from any other nationally recognized statistical
rating agency as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of
the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the
Rating Agencies, such fidelity bond to be in such form and amount as would
permit it to be a qualified FNMA seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans,
or in such other form and amount as would not cause


<PAGE>



                                      -69-


the qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of any rating assigned by any
Rating Agency to the Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each Rating
Agency); and provided that the Master Servicer's current fidelity insurer, Aetna
Casualty and Surety Company, shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this
section so long as it has a claims-paying rating of "A" or better from Standard
& Poor's. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be deemed
to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide for ten days' written notice
to the Trustee prior to any cancellation.

     Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times
during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at
all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and/or REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force
with Qualified Insurers having a claims-paying rating of "A," "Baa3" and "A" or
better from Standard & Poor's, Moody's (if then rated by Moody's) and Fitch (if
then rated by Fitch), or such lower rating as will not result in qualification,
downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as
evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, respectively, a policy or policies
of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its
officers, employees and agents in connection with its servicing obligations
hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as would
permit it to be a qualified FNMA seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans,
or in such other form and amount as would not adversely affect any rating
assigned by any Rating Agency to the Certificates (as evidenced in writing from
each Rating Agency). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof
has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide for ten
days' written notice to the Trustee prior to cancellation. The Master 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).

     For so long as the long-term debt obligations of the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be (or in the case of the initial Master
Servicer and Special Servicer, their respective direct or indirect parent), are
rated at least "A" or the equivalent by all of the Rating Agencies (or such
lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of
the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the
Rating Agencies), such Person may self-insure with respect to the risks
described in this subsection.

     SECTION 3.08. Enforcement of Alienation Clauses.

     With respect to all Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers or
further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers of
interests in the related Mortgagor, unless the


<PAGE>



                                      -70-


Special Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that
waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Promptly after the Special Servicer has made any such determination, the Special
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Master
Servicer an Officers' Certificate setting forth the basis for such
determination. The Special Servicer shall not exercise any such waiver in
respect of a due-on-encumbrance provision without receiving the prior written
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such action would not result in a
downgrading, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the
Certificates.

     SECTION 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Required
                   Appraisals.

     (a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b) through
3.09(d), exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 3.20. The Special
Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses (other than costs or expenses that
would, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) incurred by
it in any such proceedings, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as
provided in Section 3.05(a). Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be
construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to
make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding
that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by
the Special Servicer in its reasonable and good faith judgment taking into
account the factors described in Section 3.18(e) 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 Standard. If and when the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of
establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a
defaulted Mortgage Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or
otherwise, it may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, have an appraisal performed
with respect to such property by an Independent Appraiser or other expert in
real estate matters; which appraisal shall take into account the factors
specified in Section 3.18(e), including without limitation, any environmental,
engineering or other third party reports available, and other factors that a
prudent real estate appraiser would consider. With respect to each Required
Appraisal Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer will be required to obtain a
Required Appraisal within 60 days of a Mortgage Loan becoming a Required
Appraisal Mortgage Loan (unless an appraisal was obtained for such Required
Appraisal Mortgage Loan within the prior 3 months in which case such appraisal
shall be the Required Appraisal) and thereafter shall obtain a letter update of
such Required Appraisal once every 12 months if such Mortgage Loan remains a
Required Appraisal Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall advance the cost of
such Required Appraisal; provided, however, that such expense will be subject to
reimbursement to the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance out of the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).


<PAGE>



                                      -71-


     (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 may be withdrawn from the Certificate Account pursuant
     to Section 3.05(a)) to the effect that the holding of such personal
     property as part of the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax
     on any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III under the REMIC Provisions or
     cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC
     at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee,
obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by deed 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, could, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, made in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of,
or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning
of CERCLA or any comparable law (a "potentially responsible party"), unless (as
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee
that shall specify all of the bases for such determination) the Special Servicer
has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and based
on a 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 (a copy of which Environmental Assessment shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer), that:

          (i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
     environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would maximize the
     recovery to the Certificateholders on a present value basis (the relevant
     discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to
     Certificateholders to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to acquire
     title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such actions
     as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith
     in all material respects; 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


<PAGE>



                                      -72-


     such action could reasonably be expected to be required, that it would
     maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders on a present value basis
     (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be
     distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at the related Mortgage
     Rate) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to
     take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

     The Special Servicer shall undertake, in good faith, reasonable efforts to
make the determination referred to in the preceding paragraph and may
conclusively rely on the Environmental Assessment referred to above in making
such determination. The cost of any such Environmental Assessment, as well as
the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by
clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, may be reimbursed to
the Special Servicer from the Certificate Account as a Servicing Advance; and if
any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, as a
Servicing Advance, 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 paragraph have been satisfied.

     (d) If the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c) above
establishes that any 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, the Special Servicer shall take
such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems
appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trustee, release all or a portion of 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
million, prior to the release of all or a portion of the related Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall
have notified the Rating Agencies, Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing of
its intention to so release all or a portion of 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
all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property and (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 (failure
to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent).

     (e) The Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer, Lehman
Brothers Inc. and the Trustee monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the
Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property that represents security
for a defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated
in Section 3.09(c) above has revealed that any 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 all such conditions and
release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

     (f) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking 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 and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,
seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.

     (g) The Special Servicer shall prepare and file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, the
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the
information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect
to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code and each year deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer an Officers'
Certificate stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in
form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

     (h) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a
Servicing Officer, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery
Determination shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer no later than the third Business Day following
such Final Recovery Determination.

     (i) Upon reasonable request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
shall deliver to it and the related Sub-Servicer any other information and
copies of any other documents in its possession with respect to a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property.

     SECTION 3.10. Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
                   Files.

     (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Trustee, who shall release or cause the related Custodian to release, by a
certification (which certification shall be in the form of a Request for Release

of a release or discharge and shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a)

delivery to it of the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification
and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause any related Custodian to
release, the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer and shall deliver to
the Master Servicer such release or discharge, duly executed. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account or the Distribution

Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release
shall be released by the Trustee or related Custodian to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable.

     (c) Within seven Business Days (or within such shorter period (but no less
than three Business Days) as execution and delivery can reasonably be
accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of the
Special Servicer's request therefor, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Special Servicer (or the Special Servicer may execute and deliver in the
name of the Trustee based on a limited power of attorney issued in favor of the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(b)), in the form supplied to the

remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity or to defend any legal action or counterclaim

Together with such documents or pleadings, the Special Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee 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

     SECTION 3.11. Servicing Compensation.

     (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall

Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and REO Loan. As to each
such Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Master Servicing Fee shall accrue at the
related Master Servicing Fee Rate and on the same principal amount and for the
same period respecting which the related interest payment due on such Mortgage
Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Master Servicing Fee
with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. Earned but unpaid Master Servicing
Fees 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. The Master


<PAGE>



                                      -75-


Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent
permitted by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The right to receive the Master Servicing Fee
may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the
transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement.

     (b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) late charges,
Penalty Interest, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar fees
(excluding Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges), in each case to
the extent actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is
not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of any
assumption fee to the extent actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, may be retained by the Master Servicer and are not required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled
to additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) Prepayment Interest
Excesses (but only insofar as the aggregate of such Prepayment Interest Excesses
collected during any Collection Period exceeds the aggregate amount of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred during such Collection Period); (ii)
interest or other income earned on deposits in the Reserve Accounts, the
Servicing Accounts, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account, 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 Collection Period),
and (iii) to the extent not required to be paid to any Mortgagor under
applicable law, any interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing
Accounts maintained thereby. The Master 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 (other than compensation) and the premiums

3.07(b)), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the
Certificate Account, and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

     (c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan. As to each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from
time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the basis of the same
principal amount and 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 as of the date a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof or it becomes a Corrected Mortgage
Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees shall be payable monthly out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

                                      -76-


     In addition, with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
Corrected Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to
the Principal Recovery Fee payable out of, and equal to 0.25% of, all amounts
(whether in the form of payments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or
REO Revenues) received in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of an
REO Loan, in respect of the related REO Property) and allocable as a recovery of
principal in accordance with Section 3.02(b) or the definition of "REO Loan", as
applicable; provided that no Principal Recovery Fee shall be payable in

Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(c) or by the Master
Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to Section 9.01; provided further that if any
Person is acting as Special Servicer at such time as any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan became a Corrected Mortgage Loan and such Person is subsequently
terminated as Special Servicer hereunder, and if such Corrected Mortgage Loan
was still a Corrected Mortgage Loan at the time of such termination, then such
Person shall, following such termination, continue to be entitled to all
Principal Recovery Fees payable in respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, and
no successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to any Principal Recovery Fees
payable in respect thereof, in either case unless and until such Corrected
Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or becomes an REO
Loan; and provided further that if any Person is terminated as Special Servicer
hereunder while the sale of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
is pending, then (subject to the second preceding proviso) such Person shall be
entitled to all, and the successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to none,
of the Principal Recovery Fee payable in connection with the receipt of the
Liquidation Proceeds derived from such sale.

     CRIIMI MAE Services Limited Partnership as the initial Special Servicer or
its assignee shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicer Strip (regardless
of whether it remains as Special Servicer hereunder) with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or REO Loan for so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated
pursuant to Article 11. As compensation for its activities set forth in Section
3.12, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Additional Servicing
Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan. As to each such Mortgage
Loan and REO Loan, each of the Additional Servicing Fee and the Special Servicer
Strip shall accrue at the Special Servicer Strip Rate and the Additional
Servicing Fee Rate, respectively, on the same principal amount and for the same
period respecting which the related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan
or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicer Strip and
the Additional Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall
cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. Earned but
unpaid Special Servicer Strip and the Additional 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. CRIIMI MAE

Special Servicer Strip and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Additional Servicing Fees, in each case in respect of any Mortgage Loan
or REO Loan out of that portion of related Insurance Proceeds

permitted by Section 3.05(a)(iv).

     The Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee, the
Additional Servicing Fee and the Principal Recovery 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 Sections 6.02, 6.04 and 6.09.
CRIIMI MAE Services Limited Partnership's right to receive the Special Servicer
Strip may not be transferred in whole or in part except in compliance with the

performed a physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable
after a related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, in
any event, shall at its expense perform or cause to be performed an inspection
of all other Mortgaged Properties at least once per calendar year. The Special

year of such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the
related Sub-Servicer.

     If three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as "Applicants" with a
single Person which (together with its Affiliates) is the Holder of more than
one Class of Certificates being viewed as a single Applicant for these purposes)
apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the
Applicants' desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their
rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a
copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the
Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application,
send, at the Applicants' expense, the written communication proffered by the
Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the
Certificate Register.

     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 on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property
within two years after REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO Property for
purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either
(i) applies, more than sixty days prior to the expiration of such two year
period, and 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 an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the
Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property
subsequent to the second anniversary of such acquisition will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section 860F of
the Code) of any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or cause any of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted the REO
Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or
obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within
such extended 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 obtaining 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 accounts (collectively, the
"REO Account"), held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, 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,
upon receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance 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 be entitled to make withdrawals from the REO Account to pay itself, as
additional servicing compensation in accordance with Section 3.11(d), interest
and investment income earned in respect of amounts


<PAGE>



                                      -83-


held in the REO Account as provided in Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent
of the Net Investment Earnings with respect to the REO Account for any
Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and
the Master 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, 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 (including any monthly reserve or escrow
amounts necessary to accumulate sufficient funds for taxes, insurance and
anticipated capital expenditures (the "Impound Reserve")). On each Determination
Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into
the Certificate Account or deliver to the Master Servicer or such other Person
as may be directed by the Master Servicer (which shall deposit such amounts into
the Certificate Account) the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of
each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of any
withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence;
provided that in addition to the Impound Reserve the Special Servicer may retain
in the REO Account such portion of proceeds and collections as may be necessary
to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management
and maintenance of the related REO Property (including without limitation the
creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements and other related
expenses), such reserve not to exceed $10,000 with respect to each such REO
Property or to cover a period of more than twelve months.

     (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). The
Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer any information with respect
to the REO Account as is reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.

SECTION 3.17. Management of REO Property.

     (a) Prior to the acquisition of title to a Mortgaged Property, the Special
Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the
nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were
acquired by the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer determines from such review
that:

          (i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property
     would be subject to tax as "net income from foreclosure property" within
     the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or would be subject to the tax imposed
     on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F of the Code (either such
     tax referred to herein as an "REO Tax"), such Mortgaged Property may be
     Directly Operated by the Special Servicer as REO Property;

          (ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an REO Property
     could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO


<PAGE>



                                      -84-


     Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such
     property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor
     with respect to such property, or another method of operating such property
     would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer
     may (provided, that in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the
     Special Servicer, it is commercially feasible) acquire such Mortgaged
     Property as REO Property and so lease or operate such REO Property; or

          (iii) It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such
     property as REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and
     that no commercially feasible means exists to operate such property as REO
     Property without the Trust Fund incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax
     on income from such property, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the
     REMIC Administrator, in writing, a proposed plan (the "Proposed Plan") to
     manage such property as REO Property. Such plan shall include potential
     sources of income, and to the extent commercially feasible, estimates of
     the amount of income from each such source. Within a reasonable period of
     time after receipt of such plan, the REMIC Administrator shall consult with
     the Special Servicer and shall advise the Special Servicer of the REMIC
     Administrator's federal income tax reporting position with respect to the
     various sources of income that the Trust Fund would derive under the
     Proposed Plan. In addition, the REMIC Administrator shall (to the maximum
     extent possible) advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of
     taxes that the Trust Fund would be required to pay with respect to each
     such source of income. After receiving the information described in the two
     preceding sentences from the REMIC Administrator, the Special Servicer
     shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the
     respective Mortgaged Property as REO Property) or (B) manage and operate
     such property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO
     Tax on the income derived from such property. All of the REMIC
     Administrator's expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel or
     other experts reasonably retained by it) incurred pursuant to this section
     shall be reimbursed to it from the Trust Fund in accordance with Section
     10.01(f).

     The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be
managed and operated shall be based on the Servicing Standard and in any case on
the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer as to which means
would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders by maximizing (to the
extent commercially feasible) the net after-tax REO Revenues received by the
Trust Fund with respect to such property and, to the extent consistent with the
foregoing, in the same manner as would prudent mortgage loan servicers and asset
managers operating acquired mortgaged property comparable to the respective
Mortgaged Property. Both the Special Servicer and the REMIC Administrator may,
at the expense of the Trust Fund payable pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(xiii)
consult with counsel.

     (b) Subject to Section 3.17(a)(iii), if title to any REO Property is
acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such
REO Property for the


<PAGE>



                                      -85-


benefit of the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner that does not and will not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a),
either result in the receipt by REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III 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, however, the
Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in
connection therewith as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and,
consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of
amounts on deposit therein with respect to any REO Property, funds necessary for
the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition 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; and

          (iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell,
     protect, manage, operate and restore 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 Special Servicer shall make Servicing
Advances in such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer)
the Special Servicer would not make such advances if the Special Servicer owned
such REO Property or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;
provided, however, that the Special Servicer may make any such Servicing Advance
without regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in
connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.

     (c) The Special Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

          (i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
     inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm's
     length;

          (ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses
     of the Trust Fund) shall be reasonable and customary in consideration of
     the nature and locality of the REO Property;

          (iii) except as permitted under Section 3.17(a), any such contract
     shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent
     Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in
     connection with the


<PAGE>



                                      -86-


     operation and management of such REO Property, including, without
     limitation, those listed in Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) except to the
     extent that such revenues are derived from any services rendered by the
     Independent Contractor to tenants of the REO Property that are not
     customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real
     property (within the meaning of Section 1.856-4(b)(5) of the Treasury
     Regulations or any successor provision), 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 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. No agreement entered into pursuant to this
Section 3.17(c) shall be deemed a Sub-Servicing Agreement for purposes of
Section 3.22.

     SECTION 3.18. Sale of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

     (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee 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 Sections 2.03(a) and
9.01.

     (b) Subject to Section 2.03(a), if the Special Servicer has determined in
good faith that any Defaulted Mortgage Loan will become subject to foreclosure
proceedings, the Special Servicer shall promptly so notify in writing the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, following its receipt of such
notice, shall, within 10 days after receipt of such notice, notify the Majority
Subordinate Certificateholder. The Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may at
its option purchase from the Trust Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase Price,
any such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased under
this paragraph (b) shall be deposited into the Certificate Account, and the
Custodian, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate from the Master Servicer to
the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be
released to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder the related Mortgage
File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably
necessary to vest in the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder ownership of
such


<PAGE>



                                      -87-


Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer shall
deliver the related Servicing File to the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder.

     (c) If the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has not purchased any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan within 30 days of its having received notice in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 3.18(b) above, either the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (with preference given to the Special Servicer) may at its
option purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund, at a price equal to the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan purchased under
this paragraph (c) shall be deposited into the Certificate Account, and the
Custodian, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate from the Master Servicer to
the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be
released to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to
it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, the ownership of such Mortgage Loan. In connection with
any such purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall deliver the
related Servicing File to the Master Servicer.

     (d) The Special Servicer may offer to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan not
otherwise purchased pursuant to Sections 3.18(b) and 3.18(c) above, if and when
the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that
such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust Fund. Such
offer shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner (which, for purposes
hereof, includes an offer to sell without representation or warranty other than
customary warranties of title and condition, if liability for breach thereof is
limited to recourse against the Trust Fund) for a period of not less than 10
days. Unless the Special Servicer determines that acceptance of any bid would
not be in the best economic interests of the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer
shall accept the highest cash bid received from any Person that constitutes a
fair price for such 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 its best 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). The Special Servicer
shall accept the first (and, if multiple bids are received contemporaneously or
subsequently, the highest, provided that the Special Servicer is not obligated
to the first bidder) cash bid received from any Person that constitutes 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), 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.

     The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and the Master Servicer not
less than three Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to sell any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18(d). No Interested
Person shall be obligated to submit a


<PAGE>



                                      -88-


bid to purchase any such 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.

     (e) 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(d), shall be determined by the Special Servicer (except as otherwise
provided below in this Section 3.18(e)). In determining whether any bid received
from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Mortgage Loan or
REO Property, the Special Servicer shall be supplied with and may rely on a
narrative appraisal prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an Independent
Appraiser, retained by the Special Servicer. (The Special Servicer may rely on a
certification of any bidder to the effect that such bidder is not an Interested
Person.) Such appraiser shall be selected by the Special Servicer if the Special
Servicer is not bidding with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property and shall be selected by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is
bidding. (The Master Servicer shall not bid with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property if the Special Servicer has informed it that the Special
Servicer intends to submit a bid.) Where any Interested Person is among those
bidding with respect to a Mortgage Loan or REO Property, the Special Servicer
shall require that all bids be submitted in writing and be accompanied by a
refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the bid amount. In
determining whether any bid from a Person other than an Interested Person or
from an Interested Person other than the Special Servicer constitutes a fair
price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, the Special Servicer shall
take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal described above
and any appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to Section 3.09(a)), and
any 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 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 such Mortgage Loan or
REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this Section 3.18 (but excluding a purchase pursuant to
Section 3.18(c)), no cash bid from the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any
of their Affiliates thereof shall constitute a fair price for any Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property unless such bid is the highest bid received and at
least two independent bids (not including the bid of the Master Servicer,
Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received. In the event the bid of
the Special Servicer or any Affiliate is the only bid received or is the higher
of only two bids received, then additional bids shall be solicited. If an
additional bid or bids are received and the original bid of the Special Servicer
or any Affiliate is the highest of all bids received, then the bid of the
Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be deemed to constitute a fair price.

     (f) Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(e) 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. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective
bidders, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer's actual
costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to


<PAGE>



                                      -89-


such sales or evaluating bids without obligation to deposit such amounts into
the Certificate Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO
Property shall be final, without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund and
without representations and warranties of title and condition, unless liability
for breach thereof is limited to recourse against 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.

     (g) 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).

     (h) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by any of the foregoing
paragraphs of this Section 3.18 to accept the highest bid if the Special
Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection
of such bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In
addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower bid if it determines, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such bid would be in
the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective
buyer making the lower bid is more likely to perform its obligations or the
terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower bid are more favorable).

     SECTION 3.19. Additional Obligations of Master Servicer.

     The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the
Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of
reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess, if any,
of (A) aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection
with Principal Prepayments received during the most recently ended Collection
Period over (B) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Excesses collected
in connection with Principal Prepayments received during such Collection Period,
and (ii) the total amount of all servicing compensation received by the Master
Servicer during such Collection Period.

     SECTION 3.20. Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.

     (a) Subject to Sections 3.20(b) through 3.20(g) below, the Special Servicer
may, on behalf of the Trustee, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Trustee or any
Certificateholder.

     (b) All modifications, waivers or amendments of any Mortgage Loan shall be
in writing and shall be considered and effected in accordance with the Servicing
Standard.

     (c) Except as provided in 3.20(d), the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall not agree or consent to any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would:

          (i) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal,
     interest or other amount (including Prepayment Premiums or Yield
     Maintenance Charges, but excluding Penalty Interest and other amounts
     payable as additional servicing compensation) payable thereunder;

          (ii) affect the obligation of the related Mortgagor to pay a
     Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance


<PAGE>



                                      -90-


     Charge or permit a Principal Prepayment during any period in which the
     related Mortgage Note prohibits Principal Prepayments;

          (iii) except as expressly contemplated by the related Mortgage or
     pursuant to Section 3.09(d), result in a release of the lien of the
     Mortgage on any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property without
     a corresponding Principal Prepayment in an amount not less than the fair
     market value (as determined by an appraisal by an Independent Appraiser
     delivered to the Special Servicer at the expense of the related Mortgagor
     and upon which the Special Servicer may conclusively rely) of the property
     to be released; or

          (iv) in the judgment of the Special Servicer, otherwise materially
     impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of
     timely payment of amounts due thereon.

     (d) Notwithstanding Section 3.20(c), but subject to the third paragraph of
this Section 3.20(d), the Special Servicer may (i) reduce the amounts owing
under any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued
interest or any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charges, (ii) reduce the
amount of the monthly payment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including
by way of a reduction in the related Mortgage Rate, (iii) forbear in the
enforcement of any right granted under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (iv) accept a principal prepayment on any
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan during any Lockout Period; provided that (A)
the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, (B) in the sole, good faith judgment of the Special
Servicer, such modification would increase the recovery on the Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting of
amounts that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be performed at the
related Mortgage Rate) and (C) such modification, waiver or amendment would not
both (1) effect an exchange or reissuance of the Mortgage Loan under Section
1001 of the Code (and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (2)
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or result in
the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after
the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions.

     In addition, notwithstanding Section 3.20(c), but subject to the third
paragraph of this Section 3.20(d), the Special Servicer may extend the date on
which any Balloon Payment is scheduled to be due in respect of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan if the conditions set forth in the proviso to the prior
paragraph are satisfied and the Special Servicer has obtained an appraisal in
accordance with the Standards of the Appraisal Institute of the related
Mortgaged Property, performed by an Independent Appraiser, in connection with
such


<PAGE>



                                      -91-


extension, which appraisal supports the determination of the Special Servicer
contemplated by clause (B) of the proviso to the immediately preceding
paragraph.

     In no event will the Special Servicer (i) extend the maturity date of a
Mortgage Loan beyond a date that is two years prior to the Rated Final
Distribution Date, (ii) extend the maturity date of any Mortgage Loan which has
a Mortgage Rate below the prevailing interest rate for comparable loans at the
time of such modification as determined by the Special Servicer, unless (A) such
Mortgage Loan is a Balloon Loan, (B) the related Mortgagor has failed to make
the Balloon Payment at its scheduled maturity and (C) such Balloon Loan is not a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than by reason of the failure to make
its Balloon Payment) and has not been delinquent with respect to a Monthly
Payment (other than the Balloon Payment) in the preceding twelve months, in
which case the Special Servicer may permit up to three one-year extensions at
the existing Mortgage Rate for such Mortgage Loan (such limitation of extensions
made at below market rate shall not limit the ability of the Special Servicer to
extend the maturity date of any Mortgage Loan at an interest rate at or in
excess to the prevailing rate for comparable loans at the time of such
modification), (iii) if the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Lease, extend
the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan beyond a date which is less than 10
years prior to the expiration of the term of such Ground Lease; (iv) reduce the
Mortgage Rate to a rate below the prevailing interest rate for comparable loans
at the time of such modification, as determined by the Special Servicer; or (v)
defer interest due on any Mortgage Loan in excess of 10% of the Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan or defer the collection of interest on any
Mortgage Loan without accruing interest on such deferred interest at a rate at
least equal to the Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan.

     The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B) of the
proviso to the first paragraph, and clause (ii) of the second paragraph, of this
Section 3.20(d) shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect
delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer and describing in reasonable
detail the basis for the Special Servicer's determination. The Special Servicer
shall append to such Officer's Certificate any information including but not
limited to income and expense statements, rent rolls, property inspection
reports and appraisals that support such determination.

     (e) Any payment of interest that is deferred pursuant to any modification,
waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof,
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 modification, waiver or
amendment so permit. The foregoing shall in no way limit the Special Servicer's
ability to charge and collect from the Mortgagor costs otherwise collectible
under the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement together with
interest thereon.

     (f) The Special Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a
Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or
thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of
the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is
permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to it
(i) as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or


<PAGE>



                                      -92-


customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such
request, and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it. In no event
shall the Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses
unless such payment is collected from the related Mortgagor.

     (g) The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, any related
Sub-Servicers and the Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan (including fees charged the
Mortgagor) and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the 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 ten
Business Days) following the execution thereof. Copies of each agreement whereby
any such modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan is
effected shall be made available for review upon prior request during normal
business hours at the offices of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
3.15(g) hereof.

     (h) If, with respect to any Defeasance Loan, the Master Servicer shall
receive a notice from the related Mortgagor that it intends to prepay the
related Defeasance Loan in accordance with the terms thereof, except as set
forth below, the Master Servicer shall (a) promptly respond to such notice in a
manner which would require that the Mortgagor pledge Defeasance Collateral in
lieu of such prepayment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note, (b)
notify each Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Underwriters of the request to
defease a Mortgage Loan and (c) upon the written confirmation from each Rating
Agency described in the next paragraph, take such further action as provided in
such Mortgage Note to effectuate such pledge, including the purchase and
perfection of the Defeasance Collateral in the name of the Trustee, as trustee
for the registered holders of First Union-Lehman Brothers Commercial Mortgage
Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-C1.

     Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall not permit a pledge of
Defeasance Collateral in lieu of prepayment under a Defeasance Loan if (i) such
defeasance would occur within two years of the Startup Day, (ii) such Defeasance
Loan (or any applicable agreement executed in connection with the related
defeasance) provides that the Mortgagor will be liable for any shortfalls from
the Defeasance Collateral or otherwise become subjected to recourse liability
with respect to the Defeasance Loan, (iii) such defeasance would result in a new
Mortgagor on the Defeasance Loan (unless such new Mortgagor is acquiring the
Mortgaged Property that was the initial security for the Defeasance Loan), or
(iv) any Rating Agency does not confirm in writing to the Master Servicer that
the acceptance of a pledge of the Defeasance Collateral in lieu of a full
prepayment will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the
ratings then assigned by it to any Class of Certificates.

     SECTION 3.21. Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special
                   Servicer; Record Keeping.

     (a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with
respect to any Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall
deliver a copy of the related


<PAGE>



                                      -93-


Servicing File, to the Special Servicer and shall use reasonable efforts to
provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (or copies thereof)
and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic
discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan either in the Master
Servicer's or any of its directors', officers', employees', affiliates' or
agents' possession or control or otherwise available to the Master Servicer
without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special
Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto
without acting through a Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the
occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event; provided, however, if the
information, documents and records requested by the Special Servicer are not
contained in the Servicing File, the Master Servicer shall have such period of
time as reasonably necessary to make such delivery.

     Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall
return the related Servicing File and all other information, documents and
records that were not part of the Servicing File when it was delivered to the
Special Servicer within five Business Days of the occurrence, to the Master
Servicer (or such other Person as may be directed by the Master Servicer) and
upon giving such notice, and returning such Servicing File, to the Master
Servicer (or such other Person as may be directed by the Master Servicer), the
Special Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special
Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to
service and administer such Mortgage Loan shall resume.

     (b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Custodian 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 Master Servicer), and copies of any
additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the
related Mortgagor.

     (c) On or before each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall
deliver to the Master Servicer (or such other Person as may be directed by the
Master Servicer) a statement in writing and in computer readable format (the
form of such statement to be agreed upon by the Master Servicer) describing, on
a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis, (1) insofar as it relates to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, the information described
in clauses (x) through (xiii) of Section 4.02(a) and, insofar as it relates to
the Special Servicer, the information described in clauses (xxiii) and (xxiv) of
Section 4.02(a), (2) the amount of all payments, Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds received, and the amount of any Realized Loss incurred,
with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related
Collection Period, and the amount of all REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds received, and the amount of any Realized Loss incurred,
with respect to each REO Property during the related Collection Period, (3) the
amount, purpose and date of all Servicing Advances made by the Special Servicer
with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Property during
the related Collection Period and (4) such additional information relating to
the Specially Serviced


<PAGE>



                                      -94-


Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as the Master Servicer reasonably requests to
enable it to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this subsection (c), the Master Servicer shall
maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and shall provide the Special Servicer with
any information reasonably available to the Master Servicer required by the
Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.22. Sub-Servicing Agreements.

     (a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into
Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any
or all of their respective obligations hereunder, provided that, in each case,
the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (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 Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, 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 may thereupon assume all of
the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption,
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
under such agreement or, (with respect only to those Sub-Servicing Agreements in
effect on the Closing Date subject to the provisions of Section 3.22(d)), may
terminate such subservicing agreement without cause and without payment of any
penalty or termination fee (except with respect only to those Sub-Servicing
Agreements in effect on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 3.22(d)); (iii)
provides that the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall be a
third party beneficiary under such agreement, but that (except to the extent the
Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as contemplated by the
immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trustee, the Trust Fund, any
successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any
Certificateholder shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities
arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Agreement to terminate such agreement with respect to such purchased
Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty, (v) does not permit the
Sub-Servicer to enter into or consent to any modification, waiver or amendment
or otherwise take any action on behalf of the Special Servicer contemplated by
Section 3.20 hereof without the consent of such Special Servicer, and (vi) does
not permit the Sub-Servicer any rights of indemnification that may be satisfied
out of assets of the Trust Fund. In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement
entered into by the Master Servicer shall provide that such agreement shall be
subject to Section 3.21 hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loan that becomes a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall deliver to the Trustee and to each other 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 Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and,
in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer to satisfy the
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder to make P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the
Master Servicer or the Special

<PAGE>

                                      -95-

Servicer, as the case may be, out of its own funds and, accordingly, such P&I
Advances or Servicing 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 Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. For so long as they are
outstanding, Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Sections 3.03(d)
and 4.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, and such Sub-Servicer as they may agree.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained
by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
shall notify the other, the Trustee and the Depositor in writing promptly of the
appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer.

     (b) Each Sub-Servicer (i) 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, and (ii) shall be an
approved conventional seller/servicer of mortgage loans for FHLMC or FNMA or a
HUD-Approved Servicer.

     (c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and enforce the
obligations of their respective Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreements. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance
with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the
terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer may each have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer at any time it
considers such removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.

     (d) In the event of the resignation, removal or other termination of First
Union National Bank of North Carolina or any successor Master Servicer hereunder
for any reason, the Trustee or other Person succeeding such resigning, removed
or terminated party as Master Servicer, shall elect, with respect to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement existing at the time of such termination (i) to assume
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under such Sub-Servicing
Agreement and continue the sub-servicing arrangements thereunder on the same
terms (including without limitation the obligation to pay the same sub-servicing
fee), (ii) to enter into a new Sub-Servicing Agreement with such Sub-Servicer
and on such terms as the Trustee or other successor Master Servicer and such
Sub-Servicer shall mutually agree (it being understood that such Sub-Servicer is
under no obligation to accept any such new Sub-Servicing Agreement or to enter
into or continue negotiations with the Trustee or other successor Master
Servicer); provided however, no successor Master Servicer shall enter into a new
Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that was a party to a Sub-Servicing
Agreement as of the Closing Date, if such new Sub-Servicing Agreement amends,
alters or fails to restate the rights of Lehman Brothers Inc., if any, under the
existing Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to the termination of the
Sub-Servicer and the appointment of a successor thereto or the rights of Lehman
Brothers Inc., if any, as a third party beneficiary


<PAGE>



                                      -96-


under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, unless the successor Master Servicer has
obtained the prior written consent to the terms of such new Sub-Servicing
Agreement from Lehman Brothers Inc., (iii) subject to the terms of the next
paragraph, to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement without cause provided that
no Sub-Servicer may be terminated without cause unless it receives Sub-Servicer
Termination Compensation, if any, as defined in the Sub-Servicing Agreement for
such Sub-Servicer or (iv) to terminate the Sub-Servicing Agreement upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in such Sub-Servicing Agreement)
and pursuant to the terms set forth in the following paragraph and in each case
of this clause (iv) without paying any sub-servicer termination fee. It shall be
the corporate obligation (not reimbursable by the Trust Fund or any of the other
parties to this Agreement) of the Person, who as successor Maser Servicer,
terminates any Sub-Servicer without cause, and of its successors and assigns in
such capacity (to the extent contemplated by the second preceding sentence), to
pay Sub-Servicer Termination Compensation to such terminated Sub-Servicer.

     Each Sub-Servicing Agreement in effect on the Closing Date provides, among
other things, that the Master Servicer may at its sole option, terminate any
rights the Sub-Servicer may have thereunder with respect to any or all Mortgage
Loans if any of the Rating Agencies (i) reduces the rating assigned to one or
more Classes of the respective Certificates as a result of the sub-servicing of
the Mortgage Loans by the Sub-Servicer, or (ii) advise the Master Servicer or
the Trustee that it will cause a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of such
rating due to the continued servicing by the Sub-Servicer.

     (e) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the performance of their respective 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 each alone were servicing
and administering the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties for which it is
responsible.

     SECTION 4.01. Distributions.

     (a) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall (except as otherwise
provided in Section 9.01), based on information provided by the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account,
after payment of amounts payable from the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.05(b)(ii) through (vii), in each case to the extent of the

<PAGE>



                                      -105-


respective then outstanding Class Principal Balances of such Classes of
Certificates and without regard to the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date. Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses and
Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates
shall not constitute distributions of principal and shall not result in
reduction of the related Class Principal Balance.

     (b) On each Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall apply any amounts
that represent Prepayment Premiums and/or Yield Maintenance Charges actually
collected on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans during the related Collection
Period and shall distribute each such Prepayment Premium and/or Yield
Maintenance Premium, as additional interest, as follows:

          (i) first, to the Holders of the Class IO Certificates and the Holders
     of the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates entitled to
     distributions of principal pursuant to Section 4.01(a) on such Distribution
     Date, pro rata in accordance with, and in each case up to an amount equal
     to, the applicable PV Yield Loss Amount for each such Class and (ii) second
     to the Holders of the Class IO Certificates, any remaining portion of such
     Prepayment Premium and/or Yield Maintenance Charge.

     (c) All distributions made with respect to each Class on each Distribution
Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such
Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise
provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each
Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective
Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such
Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Paying Agent with
wiring instructions no less than five 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, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such
Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible
future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense
previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in a 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. Prior to any termination of the
Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is to be made with
respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after
the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the
preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the address of the
Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such address last
appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of which the Paying
Agent was subsequently notified in writing. If such check is returned to the
Paying Agent, the Paying Agent, directly or through an agent, shall take such
reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check as it
shall deem appropriate. Any funds in respect of a check returned to the Paying
Agent shall be set aside by the Paying Agent and


<PAGE>



                                      -106-


held uninvested in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate Holder.
The costs and expenses of locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds
shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If the Paying Agent has
not, after having taken such reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the
second anniversary of the initial sending of a check, the Paying Agent shall
distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R-III Certificateholder.

     (d) 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 related 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 related Certificate Owners that it represents. None of
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the
Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise
provided by this Agreement or applicable law. The Trustee and the Depositor
shall perform their respective obligations under a Letter of Representations
among the Depositor, the Trustee and the initial Depository dated as of the
Closing Date.

     (e) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the
proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of the Certificates, and all rights and
interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as
set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates
nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.

     (f) 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 Realized
Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Class of
Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Paying Agent
shall, no later than five days after the related Determination Date, mail to
each Holder of record 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 office of
     the Certificate Registrar or at 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 Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested
in trust and credited to the account or


<PAGE>



                                      -107-


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(f) 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 former
Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If all of the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second
anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Paying Agent shall
distribute to the Class R-III Certificateholder all unclaimed funds and other
assets which remain subject thereto.

     (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Paying
Agent does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments
or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.

     (h) All distributions made in respect of any Class of REMIC III
Certificates (other than the Class IO Certificates) on each Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 9.01 shall be deemed to have first been
distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of its corresponding REMIC II
Regular Interest set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto; all interest
distributions made in respect of the Class IO Certificates on each Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 9.01 shall be deemed to have first
been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of REMIC II Regular
Interests O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z, pro rata in accordance with,
and in each case up to an amount equal to, one month's interest accrued at a
rate equal to the REMIC II Remittance Rate minus the Pass-Through Rate
applicable to the related Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (as set forth in
the Preliminary Statement hereto) on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of
each such REMIC II Regular Interests outstanding immediately prior to such
Distribution Date (which interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months), together with any such amounts from
prior Distribution Dates not previously deemed paid. In each case, if such
distribution on any such Class of Certificates was a distribution of interest,
of principal, of Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges or in
reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses in respect of such Class of Certificates, then the corresponding
distribution deemed to be made on the related REMIC II Regular Interest pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to also be a distribution of interest,
of principal, of Prepayment


<PAGE>



                                      -108-


Premiums, of Yield Maintenance Charges or in reimbursement of previously
allocated Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, as the case may
be, in respect of such REMIC II Regular Interest.

     (i) On each Distribution Date, the portion of the Available Distribution
Amount for such date distributed in respect of the Regular Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 9.01 shall be deemed to have first been
distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests, in each case to the extent of the remaining portions of such funds,
for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:

          (i) as deemed distributions of interest in respect of the REMIC I
     Regular Interests, in an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with,
     all Uncertificated Distributable Interest in respect of each such REMIC I
     Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not
     previously deemed distributed, for all prior Distribution Dates;

          (ii) as deemed distributions of principal in respect of the REMIC I
     Regular Interests, in an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with,
     as to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, the excess, if any, of the
     Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
     outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date, over the Stated
     Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan) that
     will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date; and

          (iii) as deemed distributions in respect of the REMIC I Regular
     Interests, in an amount equal to, pro rata in accordance with, and in
     reimbursement of, any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses
     (with compounded interest), previously allocated to each such REMIC I
     Regular Interest.

is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or
provided by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable. Neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer

Trustee shall send to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a
Certificateholder of record, a report summarizing on an annual basis (if
appropriate) the items provided to Certificateholders pursuant to Section

Trust. Such requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent such
information is provided pursuant to applicable requirements of the Code from
time to time in force.

     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall forward to the Depositor, to
each Rating Agency, to each Holder of a Residual Certificate, to Lehman Brothers
Inc. (at Three World Financial Center, New York, New York 10285, Attention:

     Upon written request of the Depositor or either Underwriter, without
payment of any fee, and upon written request of any Certificateholders or any
other Person, together with payment of a reasonable fee specified by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall provide any statements, reports and/or information
contemplated by this Section 4.02(a) on computer diskette to such party (such
computer diskette and such statements, reports, and/or information thereon to
bear such appropriate disclaimers and qualifications as the Depositor and the
Trustee shall determine in their reasonable discretion).

     If any Certificate Owner does not receive through the Depository or any of
its Depository Participants any of the statements, reports and/or other written
information described above in this Section 4.02(a) that it would otherwise be
entitled to receive if it were the Holder of a Definitive Certificate evidencing
its ownership interest in the related Class of Book Entry Certificates, then the
Trustee shall mail or cause the mailing of such statements, reports and/or other
written information to such Certificate Owner upon the request of such
Certificate Owner made in writing to the Corporate Trust Office (accompanied by
current verification of such Certificate Owner's ownership interest). Such
portion of such information as may be agreed upon by the Depositor and the
Trustee shall be furnished to any such Person via overnight courier delivery or
telecopy from the Trustee; provided that the cost of such overnight courier
delivery or telecopy shall be an expense of the party requesting such
information.

     The Trustee shall only be obligated to deliver the statements, reports and
information contemplated by this Section 4.02(a) to the extent it receives the
necessary underlying information from the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer and shall not be liable for any failure to deliver any thereof on the
prescribed due dates, to the extent caused by failure to receive timely such
underlying information. Nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee or the Master
Servicer to violate any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
with respect to any Mortgagor and the failure of the Trustee, Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer to disseminate information for such reason shall not be a
breach hereof.

     The information to be furnished by the Trustee to the Certificateholders
pursuant to Sections 4.02(a) and (b) shall not limit the Trustee in furnishing
any such information to other Persons to whom it determines such disclosure to
be appropriate and shall not limit the Trustee in furnishing to
Certificateholders or to any person any other information with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Properties or the Trust as may be provided to it
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or gathered by it
in any investigation or other manner from time to time (such information, other
than as described in Sections 4.02(a) and (b), is referred to herein as
"Additional Information") as it may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate
from time to time (provided, however, that it shall have no obligation to do
so), provided that (A) the Trustee shall give the Depositor three business days'
advance notice before doing so, (B) any such Additional Information shall only
be furnished with the consent or at the request of the Depositor (except
pursuant to clause (E) below), (C) the Trustee shall be entitled to indicate the
source of all information furnished by it, and the Trustee may affix thereto any
disclaimer it deems appropriate in its discretion, (D) the Trustee shall notify
Certificateholders of the availability of any such information in any manner as
it, in its sole discretion, may determine and (E) this provision shall not
prevent the Trustee, whether with or without the consent of the Depositor, from
furnishing information with respect to the Trust Fund and its administration
thereof to any Person, if it reasonably determines that the furnishing of such
information is required by applicable law. The Trustee shall forward to the
Depositor any requests for Additional Information which, for their fulfillment,
require the consent of the Depositor. Nothing herein shall be construed to
impose upon the Trustee any obligation or duty to furnish or distribute any
Additional Information to any Person in any instance.

     (b) Not later than 2:00 P.M. on the third Business Day following each
Determination Date or, if in any month the Distribution Date is the fifth

second Business Day following such Determination Date, the Master Servicer (with
respect to that information allocated to the Master Servicer on Exhibit M
hereto) and the Special Servicer (with respect to that information allocated to

the Trustee, the Depositor, the Underwriters and each other (for receipt by each
not later than such fourth Business Day following each Determination Date), by
electronic transmission (or in such other form to which the Trustee or the
Depositor, as the case may be, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may
agree), with a hard copy of such transmitted information to follow not later
than the fifth Business Day following such Determination Date, an accurate and
complete Collection Report with respect to the related Distribution Date

to Section 3.12(c)):

          (i) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (and any successor REO Loan)
     that was included in the Trust Fund as of the commencement of the

     immediately after the related Distribution Date, (D) the date on which the
     final payment is scheduled to be due, (E) the amount of the Monthly Payment
     due on the Due Date in such Collection Period, (F) all related payment

     the case of the initial Collection Report, since the Closing Date) relevant
     to the Paying Agent's calculations of amounts to be distributed on the
     Certificates on the related Distribution Date and the application of such
     amounts in accordance with Section 3.02(b) (or the definition of "REO

     (H) in the case of an REO Loan, the date of acquisition of the related REO

     C.F.R. ss.571.13) of such REO Property, (I) whether a Liquidation Event
     occurred during such Collection Period and, if so, a brief description
     thereof, and (J) the amount of any loss incurred during such Collection
     Period;

          (ii) the information to be provided to Certificateholders on the
     related Distribution Date pursuant to clauses (v), (vi), (x)-(xiii) and
     (xxiv)(A) of Section 4.02(a);

          (iii) the aggregate amount of the Prepayment Premiums and Yield
     Maintenance Charges received during such Collection Period;

          (iv) any information supplemental hereto with respect to the Mortgage
     Loans that is reasonably required by the Trustee;

          (v) such other information regarding the Mortgage Loan or related
     Mortgage Property and any REO Properties as the Trustee may reasonably
     request to perform its duties hereunder; and

          (vi) to the extent the Depositor or any Certificateholder requests
     additional information not required pursuant to the terms of this
     Agreement, the Trustee may, subject to the provisions of subclauses (A)
     through (D) of Section 4.02(a) request such information in order to deliver
     the same to the Depositor or such Certificateholder on the Distribution
     Date following the Depositor's or such Certificateholder's reasonable
     request therefor, to the extent such information is readily available to
     the Master Servicer or Special Servicer without additional cost or expense
     for which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will not be reimbursed.

     In the performance of its obligations set forth in Section 4.05 and its
other duties hereunder, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the Collection
Reports and Updated Mortgage Loan Schedules provided to it by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be responsible to
recompute, recalculate or verify the information provided to it by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the case of information to be furnished by
the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.02(b), insofar as
such information is solely within the control of the Special Servicer, the
Master Servicer shall


<PAGE>



                                      -116-


have no obligation to provide such information until it has received such
information from the Special Servicer and may, absent manifest error,
conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the Special Servicer. The
Special Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer the information set forth
in Section 4.02(b)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(x-xiii) with respect to any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan serviced by it as of the Due Date for the

     SECTION 4.03. P&I Advances.

     (a) On or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date,
the Master Servicer shall either (i), subject to Section 4.03(c) below, remit
from its own funds to the Paying Agent for deposit into the Distribution Account
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 received after the Determination Date with respect to the
related Collection Period or 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 Master Servicer's records and replaced
by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the
next succeeding Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced
through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and interest
in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any
P&I Advance required to be made on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a)
(and shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate
and documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I
Advance), then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing
Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no.
(704) 383-9356 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to
the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (704) 383-5136 (or
such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in
writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the next Business Day. If after such notice by facsimile, the Trustee
does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Business Day immediately following such P&I Advance Date, then
(i) the Trustee shall make the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to
be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer on such P&I Advance Date and (ii)
the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall apply.

     (b) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
in respect of any Distribution Date shall, subject to Section 4.03(c) below,
equal the aggregate of all Scheduled Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and
any Assumed Scheduled Payments, net of related Master Servicing Fees, Special
Servicing Fees, Special Servicer Strip, Additional Servicing Fee and any related
Principal Recovery Fees, due or deemed due, as the case may be, in respect of
the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, Balloon Mortgage Loans
delinquent as to their respective Balloon Payments) and any REO Loans on their
respective Due Dates during the related Collection Period, in each


<PAGE>



                                      -117-


case to the extent such amount was not paid by or on behalf of the related
Mortgagor or otherwise collected (including received as net income from REO
Properties) as of the close of business on the related Determination Date;
provided that, (i) if the Monthly Payment on any Mortgage Loan has been reduced
in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related
Mortgagor or a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20, or if the final maturity on any
Mortgage Loan shall be extended in connection with a bankruptcy or similar
proceeding involving the related Mortgagor or a modification, waiver or
amendment granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20,
and the Monthly Payment due and owing during the extension period is less than
the related Assumed Scheduled Payment, then the Master Servicer shall, as to
such Mortgage Loan only, advance only the amount of the Monthly Payment due and
owing after taking into account such reduction (net of related Master Servicing
Fees, Special Servicing Fees, the Special Servicer Strip, Additional Servicing
Fees and any related Principal Recovery Fees) in the event of subsequent
delinquencies thereon; and (ii) if it is determined that an Appraisal Reduction
Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, with respect to
the Distribution Date immediately following the date of such determination and
with respect to each subsequent Distribution Date for so long as such Appraisal
Reduction Amount exists with respect to such Required Appraisal Loan, the Master
Servicer will be required in the event of subsequent delinquencies to advance in
respect of such Mortgage Loan only an amount equal to the product of (x) the
amount of the P&I Advance that would otherwise be required without regard to
this sentence, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to
the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, net of such Appraisal
Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan.

     (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. The determination by the Master Servicer that it
has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor on or before
the related P&I Advance Date, setting forth the basis for such determination,
together with any other information that support such determination, including
appraisals (which appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Appraisal Institute taking into account the factors specified in Section
3.18(e), including without limitation, any environmental, engineering or other
third party reports available, and other factors that a prudent real estate
appraiser would consider (or, if no such appraisal has been performed pursuant
to this Section 4.03(c), a copy of an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property performed within the twelve months preceding such determination by an
Independent Appraiser or other expert in real estate matters)), related
Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls
of the related Mortgaged Properties, engineers' reports, environmental surveys
and any similar reports that the Master Servicer may have obtained consistent
with the Servicing Standard and at the expense of the Trust Fund, that support
such determination by the Master Servicer.

     (d) In connection with its recovery of any P&I Advance out of the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to pay


<PAGE>



                                      -118-


itself, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account, interest
at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, compounded annually,
accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not
including the date of reimbursement. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself
for any outstanding P&I Advance as soon as practicable after funds available for
such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account.

     SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
                   Expenses.

     (a) On each Distribution Date, following all distributions to be made on
such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Paying Agent shall allocate to the
respective Classes of Regular Certificates as follows the aggregate of all
Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses that were incurred at any
time following the Cut-off Date through the end of the related Collection
Period, and in any event that were not previously allocated pursuant to this
Section 4.04(a) on any prior Distribution Date, but only to the extent that (i)
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Regular Certificates as of
such Distribution Date (after taking into account all of the distributions made
on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01), exceeds (ii) the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool to be outstanding immediately
following such Distribution Date: first, to the Class K Certificates, until the
remaining Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to
the Class J Certificates, until the remaining Class Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class H Certificates, until the
remaining Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to
the Class G Certificates, until the remaining Class Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class F Certificates, until the
remaining Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; sixth, to
the Class E Certificates, until the remaining Class Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class D Certificates, until the
remaining Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to
the Class C Certificates, until the remaining Class Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class B Certificates, until the
remaining Class Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and tenth,
pro rata (based on remaining Class Principal Balances) to the Class A-1
Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates, until the Class
Principal Balances thereof are reduced to zero. Any allocation of Realized
Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to a Class of Regular Certificates
shall be made by reducing the Class Principal Balance thereof by the amount so
allocated. All Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any,
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. All Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if
any, that have not been allocated to the Regular Certificates as of the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificates has been reduced to zero, shall be deemed allocated to the Residual
Certificates.

     (b) Each Realized Loss and Additional Trust Fund Expense, if any, allocated
to the Class A-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be deemed to have
first been allocated to REMIC II Regular Interest O with a corresponding
reduction in the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular
Interest; each Realized Loss and


<PAGE>



                                      -119-


Additional Trust Fund Expense, if any, allocated to the Class A-2 Certificates
on any Distribution Date shall be deemed to have first been allocated to REMIC

     SECTION 4.05. Calculations.

     The Paying Agent shall, provided it receives the necessary information from
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, be responsible for performing all
calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions
and allocations to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 5.02(d) and Article
IX and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust
Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04. The Paying Agent shall
calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall
allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement,
and the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or
verify any information provided to it by the Special Servicer or Master
Servicer. The calculations by the Paying Agent of such amounts shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all
purposes hereunder.

     SECTION 4.06. Use of Agents.

     The Master Servicer or the Trustee may at its own expense utilize agents or
attorneys-in-fact in performing any of its obligations under this Article IV
(except the obligation to make P&I Advances), but no such utilization shall
relieve the Master Servicer or the Trustee from any of such obligations, and the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall remain responsible for all
acts and omissions of any such agent or attorney-in-fact.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                THE CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.

     (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms attached
hereto as Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6, A-7, A-8, A-9, A-10, A-11,
A-12, A-13, A-14, A-15 and A-16; provided that any of the Certificates may be
issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and
may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply
with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of
any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to
conform to general usage. The Certificates will be issuable in registered form
only; provided, however, that in accordance with Section 5.03 beneficial
ownership interests in the Registered Certificates and the Class F Certificates
shall initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository. The Regular Certificates will be issuable only in denominations
corresponding to initial Certificate Principal Balances or initial Certificate
Notional Amounts, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date of not less than
$10,000 in the case of the Registered Certificates (other than the Class IO
Certificates), $100,000 in the case of the Class IO Certificates, and $250,000
in the case of Non-Registered Certificates, and in each such case in integral
multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class R-I Certificates, the Class R-II
Certificates and the Class R-III Certificates shall have no minimum denomination
and shall each be represented by a single definitive certificate.

     (b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by the Certificate Registrar hereunder by an authorized
signatory. 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.

     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.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in


<PAGE>



                                      -122-


accordance with the terms hereof) as 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 and (if the
Trustee is not the Certificate Registrar) the Master Servicer, 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 the Trustee resigns
or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee shall
immediately succeed to its duties as Certificate Registrar. The Depositor, the
Trustee (if it is no longer the Certificate Registrar), the Master 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. Upon written request of any Certificateholder made for
purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their
rights under this Agreement, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly furnish
such Certificateholder with a list of the other Certificateholders of record
identified in the Certificate Register at the time of the request.

     (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 that does not require such
registration or qualification. If such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the Depositor, the
Underwriters or their respective Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may
conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
G-1 hereto, and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 hereto or as
Exhibit G-3 hereto; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee 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 upon acquisition of such a Certificate shall be
deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and
the Depositor 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.


<PAGE>



                                      -123-


     In connection with transfer of the Non-Registered Certificates, the
Depositor shall furnish upon request of a Certificateholder to such Holder and
any prospective purchaser designated by such Certificateholder the information
required to be delivered under paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A of the Securities
Act.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any Non-Registered
Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate, each prospective transferee of such
Certificate shall be deemed to represent to the Trustee, the Depositor and the
transferor of such Certificate the information set forth on Exhibit G-1 on or
prior to such transfer.

     (c) No transfer of a Subordinated Certificate or any interest therein shall
be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a
"Plan"), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Subordinated Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan (including, without limitation, any
insurance company using assets in its general or separate account that may
constitute "plan assets" of a Plan); provided that (i) such a transfer may be
made to an insurance company general account with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates which is eligible for exemptive relief under Section
III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), provided that
the proposed transferee certifies that the conditions of Sections I, III and IV
of PTE 95-60 are satisfied with respect to such transfer, and (ii) such a
transfer may be made with respect to a Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J or
Class K Certificate if the prospective transferee provides the Certificate
Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel (upon which
the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely) which establish to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not
result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. As a
condition to its registration of the transfer of a Subordinated Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall have the right to require the prospective transferee
of such Certificate, if it is not a Plan or Person described in clause (B) of
the preceding sentence, to execute a certification affidavit to that effect in
the form attached as Exhibit H hereto.

     (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)(A) below to
deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably
authorized the Certificate Registrar under clause (ii)(B) below to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:

          (A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
     Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall


<PAGE>



                                      -124-


     promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Certificate
     Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
     Transferee.

          (B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
     in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery
     to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
     until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form
     attached hereto as Exhibit I-1 (in any case, a "Transfer Affidavit and
     Agreement"), from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
     satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, and upon which the Certificate
     Registrar may, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer
     of either the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar to the contrary,
     conclusively rely, representing and warranting, among other things, that
     such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its
     Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the
     proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not
     a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
     Transferee, 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 and Agreement
     by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer
     of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed
     Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
     effected.

          (D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
     Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
     Agreement 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 certificate substantially in the
     form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2 stating that, among other things, it
     has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
     Transferee.

          (E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
     Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
     Certificate, agrees to give the Master Servicer and the Trustee written
     notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of
     temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
     acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is,


<PAGE>



                                      -125-


     or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of,
     a pass-through interest holder".

          (ii) (A) 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 Master Servicer or 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.

          (B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual
     Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to
     the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of
     such Residual Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A) above shall be
     invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall
     have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such
     Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser
     selected by the REMIC Administrator on such terms as the Certificate
     Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and
     deliver such Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of
     the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar
     itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such
     sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
     Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
     will be remitted by the Paying Agent to such purported Transferee. The
     terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (ii)(B) shall be
     determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the
     Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
     discretion.

          (iii) The Certificate Registrar shall make available to the Internal
     Revenue Service and to those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions any
     information available to it which is necessary to compute any tax imposed
     (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
     Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the
     information 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 and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real
     estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
     organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership
     Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at
     any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization, and the Master
     Servicer and the Special Servicer


<PAGE>



                                      -126-


     shall furnish to the Certificate Registrar all information in its
     possession necessary for the Certificate Registrar to discharge such
     obligation. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible
     for the reasonable compensation of the Certificate Registrar, the Master
     Servicer and the Special Servicer for providing such information.

          (iv) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
     clause (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
     shall have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Master
     Servicer the following:

               (A) written confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect
          that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
          provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its
          then-current rating of any Class of Certificates; and

               (B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to
          the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer, obtained at the
          expense of the party seeking such modification of, addition to or
          elimination of such provisions (but in no event at the expense of the
          Trust or the Trust Fund), to the effect that doing so will not cause
          either of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to (x) cease to qualify as a
          REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer
          of any Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
          Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to
          be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
          Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

     (e) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.02, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the
Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Certificate Registrar
shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.

     (f) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such
purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

     (g) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.


<PAGE>



                                      -127-


     (h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

     (i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall dispose of such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.

     (j) Upon request, the Certificate Registrar shall provide to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor notice of each transfer of a
Certificate and shall provide to each such Person with an updated copy of the
Certificate Register.

     SECTION 5.03. Book-Entry Certificates.

     (a) Each Class of Registered Certificates and the Class F 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 Section 5.03(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 5.03(c) below,
shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates ("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 each 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, 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. 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.

<PAGE>
                                     -128-


     (c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to a Class of 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 and the
Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository with respect to a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify all affected Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry
Certificates of any Class thereof by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate
Registrar shall execute, at the Depositor's expense, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Certificates in respect of
such Class to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. The
Depositor shall provide the Certificate Registrar with an adequate inventory of
Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or 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 Registered
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) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, neither the
Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any responsibility whatsoever
to monitor or restrict the transfer of ownership interests in any Certificate
(including but not limited to any Non-Registered Certificate or any Subordinated
Certificate) which interests are transferable through the book-entry facilities
of the Depository.

     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 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 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 applicable REMIC created hereunder,

<PAGE>
                                     -129-


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 presentment for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any 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 and
none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                                   ARTICLE VI

            THE DEPOSITOR, THE MASTER SERVICER, THE SPECIAL SERVICER
                    AND THE CONTROLLING CLASS REPRESENTATIVE

     SECTION 6.01. Liability of Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be liable
in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer herein.

     SECTION 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of Depositor or Master
                   Servicer or Special Servicer.

     Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor and the Special Servicer
shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business
as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective
duties under this Agreement and the Master Servicer shall keep in full effect
its existence and rights as a national banking association under the laws of the
United States.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall be the successor
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that no successor or surviving Person shall
succeed to the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer unless (i)
as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, such succession will not result
in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned by the
Rating Agencies to any Class of Certificates; (ii) such successor or surviving
Person makes the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.23; (iii) in the case of a successor or surviving Person to the Master
Servicer, such successor or surviving Person shall have a net worth (or, in the
case of the initial Master Servicer, such successor or surviving Person and its
immediate parent shall have a consolidated net worth) of not less than
$15,000,000; and (iv) in the case of a successor or surviving Person to the
Master Servicer, it is determined by the Trustee in its reasonable judgment to
have, after the merger, consolidation or transfer, as the case may be, financial
and servicing capabilities comparable to that of the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of Depositor, Master Servicer and
                   Special Servicer.

     None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders for
any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer against any liability to
the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Certificateholders for the breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant made herein by such party, or against any
expense or liability specifically required to be borne by such party without
right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof, or against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss,
liability or reasonable expense incurred in connection with this Agreement or
the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) incidental to
its duties and obligations hereunder; (ii) specifically required to be borne by
such party without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms hereof; (iii)
incurred in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
made herein; or (iv) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder. None of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action
is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, unless it is
specifically required hereunder to bear the costs of such legal action, in its
opinion does not involve it in any ultimate expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in
its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any
liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as
provided in Section 3.05. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
the other of them or by the Depositor, the Trustee or any Certificateholder,
subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 8.05.

     SECTION 6.04. Resignation of Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.

     The Master Servicer and, subject to Section 6.09, the Special Servicer
shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, upon a
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any
other activities carried on by it (the other activities of the

<PAGE>
                                     -132-


Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, so causing such a
conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, at the date of this Agreement). Any such
determination requiring the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee. Unless applicable law requires
the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's resignation to be effective
immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence
so states, no such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other
successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the
resigning party in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. The Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall have the right to resign at any other time provided
that (i) each of the Rating Agencies confirms in writing that the successor's
appointment will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of any
rating or ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates, (ii) the resigning
party pays all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer, and (iii)
the successor accepts appointment prior to the effectiveness of such
resignation. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be
permitted to resign except as contemplated above in this Section 6.04.

     Consistent with the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
Servicer shall, except as expressly provided herein, assign or transfer any of
its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or, except as
provided in Sections 3.22 and 4.06, delegate to or subcontract with, or
authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed by it hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are
transferred to a successor thereto, the Master Servicing Fee, the Additional
Servicing Fee or the Special Servicing Fee (but not the Special Servicer Strip),
as the case may be, that accrues pursuant hereto from and after the date of such
transfer shall be payable to such successor.

     SECTION 6.05. Rights of Depositor and Trustee in Respect of Master Servicer
                   and the Special Servicer.

     The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each afford the
Depositor, the Underwriters and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during
normal business hours access to all records maintained thereby in respect of its
rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers thereof responsible for
such obligations. Upon reasonable request, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall each furnish the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Trustee with
its most recent financial statements and such other information as it possesses,
and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing,
regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise,
except to the extent such information constitutes proprietary information or is
subject to a privilege under applicable law. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master 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 Master Servicer or Special
Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the
Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee and, further provided, that
the Depositor may not exercise any right pursuant to

<PAGE>

                                     -133-


Section 7.01 to terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as a party
to this Agreement. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

     SECTION 6.06. Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer to Cooperate
                   with Trustee.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each
furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested
by the Trustee in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

     SECTION 6.07. Depositor, Special Servicer and Trustee to Cooperate with
                   Master Servicer.

     The Depositor, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each furnish such
reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the
Master Servicer in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

     SECTION 6.08. Depositor, Master Servicer and Trustee to Cooperate with
                   Special Servicer.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each furnish such
reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the
Special Servicer in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

     SECTION 6.09. Designation of Special Servicer by the Controlling Class.

     The Holder or Holders of the Certificates evidencing a majority of the
Voting Rights allocated to the Controlling Class may at any time and from time
to time designate a Person meeting the requirements set forth in Section 6.02 to
serve as Special Servicer hereunder and to replace any existing Special Servicer
or any Special Servicer that has resigned or otherwise ceased to serve as
Special Servicer. Such Holder or Holders may also select a representative (the
"Controlling Class Representative") from whom the Special Servicer will seek
advice and approval and take direction under certain circumstances, as described
herein. Such Holder or Holders shall so designate a Person to serve as
replacement Special Servicer by the delivery to the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the existing Special Servicer of a written notice stating such designation.
The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving any such notice, deliver to the
Rating Agencies an executed Notice and Acknowledgment in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J-1. If such Holders have not replaced the Special Servicer
within 30 days of such Special Servicer's resignation or the date such Special
Servicer has ceased to serve in such capacity the Trustee shall designate a
successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements set forth in Section 6.02.
Any designated Person shall become the Special Servicer on the date that the
Trustee shall have received written confirmation from all of the Rating Agencies
that the appointment of such Person will 

<PAGE>
                                     -134-


not result in the qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the rating or
ratings assigned to one or more Classes of the Certificates. The appointment of
such designated Person as Special Servicer shall also be subject to receipt by
the Trustee of (1) an Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J-2, executed by the designated Person and (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person designated to become the
Special Servicer) to the effect that the designation of such Person to serve as
Special Servicer is in compliance with this Section 6.09 and all other
applicable provisions of this Agreement, that upon the execution and delivery of
the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer the designated Person shall be
bound by the terms of this Agreement and that this Agreement shall be
enforceable against the designated Person in accordance with its terms. Any
existing Special Servicer shall be deemed to have resigned simultaneously with
such designated Person's becoming the Special Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that the resigning Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to
receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to
the effective date of such resignation, whether in respect of Servicing Advances
or otherwise, and it shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section
6.03 notwithstanding any such resignation. Such resigning Special Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and the replacement Special Servicer in effecting the
termination of the resigning Special Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within two Business Days
to the replacement Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Special Servicer
to the REO Account or delivered to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter
received with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

     SECTION 6.10. Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owner of a
                   Certificate.

     The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder of (or,
in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any
Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during
which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder of (or, in the case of a
Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for
this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by
the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer's or the Special
Servicer's good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if
taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing
Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (but need not) seek
the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the
Trustee a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this
Section 6.10, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of
Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (c)
describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer proposes to take. The Trustee, upon receipt of such notice,
shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and
its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate),
together with such instructions for response

<PAGE>
                                     -135-


as the Trustee shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders
holding greater than 25% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders
(calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master
Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) shall have
failed to object in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and
if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the
written notice within thirty (30) days, such action shall be deemed to comply
with, but not modify, the Servicing Standard. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
for the reasonable expenses of the Trustee incurred pursuant to this paragraph.
It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with
respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather in the case
of unusual circumstances.

     SECTION 6.11. The Controlling Class Representative.

     The Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to advise the Special
Servicer with respect to the following actions of the Special Servicer, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary subject to the second paragraph
of this Section 6.11, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to take any of
the following actions as to which the Controlling Class Representative has
objected in writing within ten Business Days of being notified thereof (provided
that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer
within such ten Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative's
approval will 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);

          (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;

          (vi) any waiver of a "due-on-sale" or "due-on-encumbrance" clause; and

<PAGE>
                                     -136-


          (vii) any acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a borrower
     from liability under a Mortgage Loan.

     In addition, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special
Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions as the
Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is
otherwise made herein; provided that 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 Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially
expand the scope of the Special Servicer's responsibilities hereunder 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.

     The Controlling Class Representative will have no liability to the
Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of
any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be
protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties. By its acceptance of a
Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that the
Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of
one or more Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the Certificates,
and that the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and
interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the
Certificates and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the
part of the Controlling Class Representative, agrees to take no action against
the Controlling Class Representative or any of its officers, directors,
employees, principals or agents as a result of such a special relationship or
conflict.

                                     DEFAULT

     SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.

     (a) "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:

          (i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate
     Account, or to deposit into, or remit to the Paying Agent for deposit into,
     the Distribution Account, any amount (other than a P&I Advance) required to
     be so deposited or distributed by it under this Agreement; or

          (ii) any failure by the Special Servicer to deposit into the REO
     Account or to deposit into, or to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit
     into, the Certificate Account any amount required to be so deposited or
     remitted under this Agreement; or

          (iii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special
     Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of
     the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer or the
     Special Servicer, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement which
     continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which
     written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
     have been given to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer by any
     other party hereto or to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
     the case may be (with a copy to each other party hereto), by the Holders of
     Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, provided,
     however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within
     such 30-day period, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
     case may be, shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to
     effect such cure so long as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
     the case may be, has commenced to cure such failure within the initial
     30-day period and has, as determined by the Trustee in its reasonable
     discretion, diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, a full cure;
     or

          (iv) any breach on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special
     Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that
     materially and adversely affects the interests of any Class of
     Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
     after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be
     remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer or the Special
     Servicer, as the case may be, by any other party hereto or to the Master
     Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (with a copy to each
     other party hereto), by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
     25% of the Voting Rights, provided, however, that with respect to any
     failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the 

<PAGE>
                                     -138-


     Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have an
     additional cure period of thirty (30) days so long as the Master Servicer
     or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has commenced to cure within
     the initial 30-day period and, as determined by the Trustee in its
     reasonable discretion, has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue,
     a full cure; or

          (v) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
     having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any
     present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law
     for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or
     similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
     marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
     winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against
     the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall
     have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

          (vi) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to the
     appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar
     official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
     assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or
     relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

          (vii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall admit in
     writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a
     petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
     reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
     creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any
     corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or

          (viii) the consolidated net worth of the Master Servicer and of its
     direct or indirect parent, determined in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles, shall decline to less than $15,000,000; or

          (ix) the Trustee shall have received a written notice from a Rating
     Agency to the effect that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer
     continues to act in such capacity, the rating or ratings on one or more
     Classes of Certificates will be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn; or

          (x) the Master Servicer shall fail to remit to the Paying Agent for
     deposit into the Distribution Account, on any P&I Advance Date, the full
     amount of P&I Advances required to be made on such date, which failure
     continues unremedied until 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next
     Business Day succeeding such P&I Advance Date.

When a single entity acts as the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, an
Event of Default in one capacity shall constitute an Event of Default in the
other capacity.

<PAGE>
                                     -139-


     (b) If any Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (viii) of subsection
(a) above shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the "Defaulting
Party") and shall 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 25% of
the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Defaulting
Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto) and the Rating
Agencies terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities
for actions and omissions occurring prior thereto) of the Defaulting Party under
this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (ix) or
(x) of subsection (a) above shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer or,
if applicable, the Special Servicer (in either case, under such circumstances,
for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the "Defaulting Party"), the Trustee
shall, by notice in writing (to be sent immediately by facsimile transmission)
to the Defaulting Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto)
and the Rating Agencies, terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not
the liabilities for actions and omissions occurring prior thereto) of the
Defaulting Party under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than
its rights, if any, as a Certificateholder hereunder. From and after the receipt
by the Defaulting Party of such written notice of termination, all authority and
power of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the
Defaulting Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each agree that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall
promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to its
receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and
records, including those in electronic form, requested thereby to enable the
Trustee to assume the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may
be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be,
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) the
immediate transfer to the Trustee or a successor Master or Special Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account, a Servicing Account or a Reserve Account (if the Master
Servicer is the Defaulting Party) or that are thereafter received by or on
behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the transfer within two
Business Days to the Trustee or a successor Special Servicer for administration
by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be or should have been credited
by the Special Servicer to the REO Account, the Certificate Account, a Servicing
Account or a Reserve Account or delivered to the Master Servicer (if the Special
Servicer is the Defaulting Party) or that are thereafter received by or on
behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (provided,
however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if
terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to 

<PAGE>
                                     -140-


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 or
otherwise, and it shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03
notwithstanding any such termination). Any cost or expenses in connection with
any actions to be taken by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to
this paragraph shall be borne by the Defaulting Party. For purposes of this
Section 7.01 and of Section 7.03(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of an event which constitutes, or which with the passage of time or
notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default described in clauses
(i)-(viii) of subsection (a) above unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Division has actual
knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event
of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

     On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer resigns
pursuant to Section 6.04 or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have
(and the former Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall cease to have) all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, arising thereafter,
including, without limitation, if the Master Servicer is the resigning or
terminated party, the Master Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances,
including, without limitation, in connection with any termination of the Master
Servicer for an Event of Default described in clause 7.01(a)(x), the unmade P&I
Advances that gave rise to such Event of Default; provided that if the Master
Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, and if the Trustee is prohibited
by law or regulation from obligating itself to make P&I Advances (as evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies),
the Trustee shall not be obligated to make such P&I Advances; and provided,
further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, failure to
provide information or monies required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the
representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any
losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06
hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees
and other compensation which the resigning or terminated party would have been
entitled to if the resigning or terminated party had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act
as either Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or shall, if
it is unable to so act as either Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the
case may be, or if the Trustee is not approved as a Master Servicer or a Special
Servicer, as the case may be, by any of the Rating Agencies 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 that meets the
requirements of Section 6.02, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer,

<PAGE>
                                     -141-


as the case may be, hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of a
resigning or terminated Special Servicer, such appointment shall be subject to
the rights of the Holders of Certificates evidencing a majority of the Voting
Rights allocated to the Controlling Class to designate a successor pursuant to
Section 6.09. Except with respect to an appointment provided below, no
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
hereunder shall be effective until the assumption of the successor to such party
of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if the Master Servicer
is the resigning or terminated party, and the Trustee is prohibited by law or
regulation from making P&I Advances, promptly appoint any established mortgage
loan servicing institution that has a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and
is otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency (as evidenced by written
confirmation therefrom to the effect that the appointment of such institution
would not cause the qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of its rating on
any Class of Certificates), as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Master Servicer hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation
to make P&I Advances), which appointment will become effective immediately. In
connection with any such appointment and assumption described herein, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
resigning or terminated party hereunder. Such successor and the other parties
hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.

     SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.

     (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.04, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 or the effectiveness
of any designation of a new Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.09, 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) five days after a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has notice of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders and the Rating
Agencies notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

     SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.

     The Holders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to
the Classes of Certificates affected by any Event of Default hereunder may waive
such Event of 

<PAGE>
                                     -142-


Default; provided, however, that an Event of Default under clauses (i), (ii) ,
(ix) or (x) 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. 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 Voting Rights with respect to
the matters described above.

     SECTION 7.05. Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.

     During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

     (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. 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 shall take such action as it deems appropriate to
have the instrument corrected. 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 or the Master
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 misconduct; 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;

<PAGE>
                                     -144-


          (iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
     action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
     accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to 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; and

          (iv) The protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the
     Trustee hereunder shall also be available to it in its capacity as Paying
     Agent, Certificate Registrar, REMIC Administrator and Custodian.

     SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting Trustee.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 and Article X:

          (i) the Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
     refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,
     certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
     opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, 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, except as provided in
     Section 10.01, 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;

<PAGE>
                                     -145-


          (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 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if
     the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses
     or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
     investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
     the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
     the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
     liability as a condition to taking any such action;

          (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 Trustee shall remain responsible for
     all acts and omissions of such agents or attorneys within the scope of
     their employment to the same extent as it is responsible for its own
     actions and omissions hereunder; and

          (vii) the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of
     the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting
     as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or the Depositor.

     SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Validity or Sufficiency of
                   Certificates or Mortgage Loans.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the
statements attributed to the Trustee in Article II and Section 8.13 and the
signature of the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent set forth on
each outstanding Certificate, shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor
or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than
as specifically set forth in Section 8.13) or of any Certificate (other than as
to the signature of the Trustee set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trustee shall not 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 Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer. 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 Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this
Agreement.

     SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.

     The Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity. may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent.

<PAGE>
                                     -146-


     SECTION 8.05. Fees and Expenses of Trustee; Indemnification of Trustee.

     (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the general
funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, prior to any distributions to be
made therefrom on such date, and pay to itself all earned but unpaid Trustee's
Fees, as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee in the execution
of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties of the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee's Fees (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) shall constitute the Trustee's sole compensation for such
services to be rendered by it.

     (b) The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee
shall be entitled to be indemnified for and held harmless by the Trust Fund
against any loss, liability or reasonable "out-of-pocket" expense (including,
without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation,
counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of,
or incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Certificates ("Trustee
Liability"); provided that neither the Trustee nor any of the other above
specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section
8.05(b) for (1) any liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant
to the terms hereof, or (2) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's
obligations and duties hereunder, or as may arise from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Trustee made herein. The provisions
of this Section 8.05(b) and of Section 8.05(c) shall survive any resignation or
removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee.

     (c) If the Trustee Liability arises from the issuance or sale of the
Certificates and the indemnification provided for in Section 8.05(b) is invalid
or unenforceable, then the Trust Fund shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the Trustee as a result of such Trustee Liability in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of any other parties on the one
hand and the Trustee on the other in connection with the actions or omissions
which resulted in such Trustee Liability, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

     SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

     The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an association or a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
exercise trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
banking authority. If such association or corporation 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 association or corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. The Trustee shall at all times maintain
a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least "AA" by each Rating Agency or such
other rating that shall not result in the qualification, downgrading or
withdrawal of the 

<PAGE>
                                     -147-


rating or ratings assigned to one or more Classes of the Certificates by any
Rating Agency. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07;
provided that if the Trustee shall cease to be so eligible because its combined
capital and surplus is no longer at least $100,000,000 or its long-term
unsecured debt rating no longer conforms to the requirements of the immediately
preceding sentence, and if the Trustee proposes to the other parties hereto to
enter into an agreement with (and reasonably acceptable to) each of them, and if
in light of such agreement the Trustee's continuing to act in such capacity
would not (as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency) cause any Rating
Agency to qualify, downgrade or withdraw any rating assigned thereby to any
Class of Certificates, then upon the execution and delivery of such agreement
the Trustee shall not be required to resign, and may continue in such capacity,
for so long as none of the ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies to the
Certificates is adversely affected thereby. The corporation or association
serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and their respective
Affiliates.

     SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.

     (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 Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee acceptable to the Depositor 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
Depositor, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Master
Servicer. 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.

     (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 Master Servicer, or if at any time the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or if the Trustee shall fail, if the Trustee is the Paying Agent
(other than by reason of the failure of either the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer to timely perform its obligations hereunder or as a result of
other circumstances beyond the Trustee's reasonable control), to timely deliver
any current or revised Distribution Date Statement, Collection Report, Updated
Mortgage Loan Schedule or other report or statement required by Section 4.02 and
such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five days, or if the
Paying Agent (if different from the Trustee) fails to make distributions
required pursuant to Sections 3.05(b) or 4.01) then the Depositor may remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the Master Servicer by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Certificateholders by the Depositor.

<PAGE>
                                     -148-


     (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 Master 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 successor so appointed.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.

     SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.

     (a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, 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 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 shall become the agent of the
successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master 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.

     (c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, such successor trustee shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to the Depositor and the Certificateholders.

     SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.

     Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the

     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
Master 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 Master Servicer
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master 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 in respect of the Master
Servicer 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 Master 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 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 

<PAGE>
                                      -150-

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 appoint at the Trustee's expense 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 supervised and regulated by a
federal or state banking authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of
at least $10,000,000, 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. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall
have any duty to verify that any such Custodian is qualified to act as such in
accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee may enter into agreements to
appoint a Custodian which is not the Trustee, provided that, such agreement: (i)
is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the
Custodian to comply with this Agreement in all material respects and requires
the Custodian to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement;
(ii) provides that if the Trustee shall for any reason no longer act in the
capacity of Trustee hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of an
Event of Default), the successor Trustee or its designee may thereupon assume
all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of
assumption, obligations of the Custodian under such agreement or alternatively,
may terminate such agreement without cause and without payment of any penalty or
termination fee; and (iii) does not permit the Custodian any rights of
indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund. 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. The initial Custodian shall be the Trustee, and
the Trustee agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Trustee is no longer the
Custodian, any provision or requirement herein requiring notice or any
information or documentation to be provided to the Custodian shall be construed
to require that such notice, information or documents also be provided to the
Trustee. Any Custodian hereunder shall at all times maintain a fidelity bond and
errors and omissions policy in amounts customary for custodians performing
duties similar to those set forth in this Agreement.

     SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Authenticating Agents.

     (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents, which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates.
Each Authenticating Agent must be organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to do a
trust business, have a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, and
be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be subject to the same obligations, standard of care,
protection and indemnities as would be imposed on, or would protect, the Trustee
hereunder. The initial Authenticating Agent shall be the Trustee, 

<PAGE>
                                     -151-


and the Trustee hereby agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the
terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Trustee is
no longer the Authenticating Agent, any provision or requirement herein
requiring notice or any information or documentation to be provided to the
Authenticating Agent shall be construed to require that such notice, information
or documentation also be provided to the Trustee.

     (b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.

     (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor. The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice
of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, in which case the Trustee shall given written notice of
such appointment to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the
Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.12. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
Authenticating Agent. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or
liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

     SECTION 8.13. Appointment of Paying Agent.

     The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee shall cause such
Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all
sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee or
the Master Servicer to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and
any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the
Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable. If the Paying Agent is not the
Trustee or the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall remit
to the Paying Agent on the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire
transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such
Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or
otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers and shall have
a rating of at least "A" 

<PAGE>
                                     -152-


by each of Fitch, Standard & Poor's and Moody's, or such lower rating as will
not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then
assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee may enter into agreements to appoint a Paying Agent which is not the
Trustee, provided that, such agreement: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in
all material respects and requires the Paying Agent to comply with this
Agreement in all material respects and requires the Paying Agent to comply with
all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the
Trustee shall for any reason no longer act in the capacity of Trustee hereunder
(including, without limitation, by reason of an Event of Default), the successor
Trustee or its designee may thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to
the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Paying
Agent under such agreement or alternatively, may terminate such agreement
without cause and without payment of any penalty or termination fee; and (iii)
does not permit the Paying Agent any rights of indemnification that may be
satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund. The appointment of any Paying Agent
shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the
Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Paying Agent.
The initial Paying Agent shall be the Trustee, and the Trustee agrees to act in
such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if the Trustee is no longer the Paying Agent, any
provision or requirement herein requiring notice or any information to be
provided to the Paying Agent shall be construed to require that such notice,
information or documentation also be provided to the Trustee.

     SECTION 8.14. Appointment of REMIC Administrators.

     (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in performing the functions set
forth in Sections 3.17 and 10.01 herein. Each REMIC Administrator must be
acceptable to the Trustee and must be organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America or of any State and be subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

     (b) Any Person into which any REMIC Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any REMIC Administrator shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any REMIC
Administrator, shall continue to be the REMIC Administrator without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the REMIC Administrator.

     (c) Any REMIC Administrator may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any REMIC
Administrator by giving written notice of termination to such REMIC
Administrator , the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the

successor REMIC Administrator, in

<PAGE>

                                     -153-


which case the Trustee shall given written notice of such appointment to the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor and shall mail notice of
such appointment to all Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
successor REMIC Administrator shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 8.14. Any successor REMIC Administrator upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as REMIC Administrator. No REMIC Administrator
shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be responsible for acts and
omissions of the REMIC Administrator.

     SECTION 8.15. Access to Certain Information.

     The Trustee shall afford to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and
the Depositor, any Certificateholder and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
within its control that may be required to be provided 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 Trustee designated by it.

     SECTION 8.16. Representations and Warranties of Trustee.

     The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Depositor and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date, that:

          (i) The Trustee is a trust company duly organized, validly existing
     and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

          (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee, and
     the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
     Trustee, will not violate the Trustee's articles of incorporation and
     by-laws 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.

          (iii) Except to the extent that the laws of certain jurisdictions in
     which any part of the Trust Fund may be located require that a co-trustee
     or separate trustee be appointed to act with respect to such property as
     contemplated by Section 8.10, the Trustee has the full power and authority
     to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of
     this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

          (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
     binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in
     accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable 

<PAGE>
                                     -154-


     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting
     the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
     of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law.

          (v) The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
     of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
     Agreement, including, but not limited to, its responsibility to make P&I
     Advances if the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance pursuant to
     Section 7.02, will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or
     decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any
     federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which
     violation, in the Trustee's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
     to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Trustee to
     perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of
     the Trustee.

          (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trustee's
     knowledge, threatened against the Trustee that, if determined adversely to
     the Trustee, would prohibit the Trustee from entering into this Agreement
     or, in the Trustee's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to
     materially and adversely affect either the ability of the Trustee to
     perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of
     the Trustee.

          (vii) Any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
     governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and
     performance by the Trustee of or compliance by the Trustee with this
     Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement has been obtained and is effective.

                   Information.

     (a) The Depositor shall prepare for filing, and the Trustee shall execute,
on behalf of the Trust Fund, and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Trust
Fund and/or the Certificates required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund
under the Exchange Act. The Depositor shall promptly file, and exercise its
reasonable best efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests
to, or requests for other appropriate exemptive relief from, the Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding the usual and customary exemption from certain
reporting requirements granted to issuers of securities similar to the
Certificates. The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee
with respect to any liability, cost or expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, arising from the Trustee's execution of such reports, statements and
information that contain errors or omissions or is otherwise misleading,
provided, however, that if the indemnification provided for herein is invalid or
unenforceable, then the Depositor shall contribute to the amount paid by the
Trustee as a result of such liability in such amount as is necessary to limit
the Trustee's responsibility for any such payment to any amount resulting from
its own fault.

for administration of the Trust Fund and shall, upon reasonable advance notice,
make available

Servicer, the Special Servicer and the officers, directors, employees and agents
of each of them of all amounts which may have become due and owing to any of
them hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created
hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

     The Depositor, Lehman Brothers Inc., the Master Servicer, the Special

the Depositor pursuant to this paragraph shall be on a servicing-released basis.

     Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter
to Certificateholders mailed (a) if such notice is given in connection with the
Depositor's, the Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer's, Lehman Brothers
Inc.'s or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder's purchase of the Mortgage

terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of
any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to

portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that are
allocable to payments on the Class of Certificates so presented and surrendered.
Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as of the final Distribution
Date, exclusive of any portion thereof that would be payable to any Person in
accordance with clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 3.05(b), and further
exclusive of any portion thereof that represents Prepayment Premiums and Yield

as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in
such notice, the 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 reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall
deem appropriate, and shall deal with all such unclaimed amounts in accordance
with applicable law. 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 former
Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder.

     All actual distributions on the respective Classes of REMIC III
Certificates on the final Distribution Date in accordance with foregoing
provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be deemed to first have been distributed
from REMIC I to REMIC II on the various REMIC I Regular Interests in accordance

terminated in

<PAGE>

                                     -162-


accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, obtains at its own expense and
delivers to the Trustee and, in the case of the Depositor, to the Trustee and
the Master Servicer, an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with
the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or cause REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:

          (i) the Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation
     period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return for each of REMIC I,
     REMIC II and REMIC III pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and
     shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section
     860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder as set forth in an Opinion
     of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund;

          (ii) during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time
     of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall sell
     all of the assets of REMIC I to the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as
     applicable, for cash; and

          (iii) at the time of the making of the final payment on the
     Certificates, the Paying Agent shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
     distributed or credited, to the Certificateholders in accordance with
     Section 9.01 all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims),
     and each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall terminate at that time.

     (b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree
to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for each of
REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Certificateholders.

                           ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

     SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.

     (a) The REMIC Administrator shall elect to treat each of REMIC I, REMIC II
and REMIC III as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable
state law. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
or state Tax Returns for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar
year in which the Certificates are issued.

     (b) The REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the
Regular Certificates (including in the case of the IO Certificates, each of its
Components) are hereby designated as "regular interests" (within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) in REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III,
respectively. The Class R-I Certificates, the Class R-II Certificates and the
Class R-III Certificates are hereby designated as the single class of "residual
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III, respectively. None of the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee shall (to the extent within its control) permit the
creation of any other "interests" in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III (within the
meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).

     (c) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

     (d) The related Plurality Residual Certificateholder as to the applicable
taxable year is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Person of each of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III, and shall act on behalf of the related REMIC in relation
to any tax matter or controversy and shall represent the related REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority; provided that the REMIC Administrator is hereby
irrevocably appointed to act and shall act (in consultation with the Tax Matters
Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III) as agent and
attorney-in-fact for the Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and
REMIC III in the performance of its duties as such.

     (e) For purposes of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), April
18, 2029 has been designated the "latest possible maturity date" of each REMIC I
Regular Interest, REMIC II Regular Interest and each Class of Regular
Certificates.

     (f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.17(a)(iii) and subsections
(i) and (j) below, the REMIC Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any
and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund (but not including

judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund

                                     -164-


that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities which
extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Trustee from the
Trust Fund).

     (g) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator 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 Trust Fund. In addition, the REMIC
Administrator shall prepare, sign and file all of the other Tax Returns in
respect of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis
to the REMIC Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each
of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as is in its possession and reasonably
requested by the REMIC Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations
under this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Depositor, within ten days following the REMIC Administrator's request therefor,
shall provide in writing to the REMIC Administrator such information as is
reasonably requested by the REMIC Administrator for tax purposes, as to the
valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, and the REMIC Administrator's
duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this
Article X shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor
such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the
Trustee to perform such obligations.

     (h) The REMIC Administrator shall perform on behalf of each of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are
the responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or
other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or, with
respect to State and Local Taxes, any state or local taxing authority. Included
among such duties, the REMIC Administrator shall provide to: (i) any Transferor
of a Residual Certificate, such information as is necessary for the application
of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who
is not a Permitted Transferee; (ii) the Certificateholders, such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions, including, without
limitation, reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required hereunder); and
(iii) the Internal Revenue Service, the name, title, address and telephone
number of the Person who will serve as the representative of each of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III.

     (i) The REMIC Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to
maintain the status of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions (and the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall assist the REMIC Administrator to the extent reasonably requested
by the REMIC Administrator and to the extent of information within the
Trustee's, the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's possession or
control). None of the REMIC Administrator, Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II
or REMIC III to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case
may be, could (i) endanger the status of any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC 
III as a REMIC, or (ii) except as provided in Section 3.17(a), result in the
imposition of a tax upon any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC

                                     -165-


III (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, the tax on contributions to a REMIC
set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code or the result in the imposition of a
tax on "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of
the Code) (any such endangerment or imposition, except as provided in Section
3.17(a)(iii), an "Adverse REMIC Event"), unless the REMIC Administrator has
obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the REMIC
Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from acting for the
benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action
will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. The REMIC Administrator shall not
take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder)
as to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has advised it in
writing that either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received or
obtained 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 REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, or causing any of REMIC I, REMIC II
or REMIC III to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult
with the REMIC Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to
whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take any such action or cause any
of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to take any such action as to which the REMIC
Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur,
and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability hereunder for any action taken by it in accordance with the written
instruments of the REMIC Administrator. The REMIC Administrator 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 permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the REMIC Administrator shall make reasonable
efforts to ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II and
REMIC III will consist of "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.

     (j) If any tax is imposed on any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III,
including, without limitation, "prohibited transactions" taxes as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on "net income from foreclosure
property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, any taxes on contributions
to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III after the Startup Day pursuant to Section
860G(d) of the Code, and any other tax imposed by the Code or any applicable
provisions of State or Local Tax laws (other than any tax permitted to be
incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a)), such tax,
together with all incidental costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i)
the REMIC Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the REMIC Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X provided
that no liability shall be imposed upon the REMIC Administrator under this
Clause if another party has responsibility for payment of such tax under Clauses
(iii) or (v) of this Section; (ii) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out
of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations
under Article III or this 

<PAGE>
                                     -166-


Article X; (iii) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from
a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or
this Article X; (iv) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X; (v) the
Depositor, if such tax was imposed due to the fact that any of the Mortgage
Loans did not, at the time of their transfer to the REMIC I, constitute a
"qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code; or (vi) the
Trust Fund in all other instances. Any tax permitted to be incurred by the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a) shall be charged to and paid by the
Trust Fund. Any such amounts payable by the Trust Fund shall be paid by the
Paying Agent upon the written direction of the REMIC Administrator out of
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account in reduction of the Available
Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 3.05(b).

     (k) The REMIC Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC
III on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

     (1) Following the Startup Day, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer shall accept any contributions of assets to REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to cause such contribution and in no event at the
expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of
such assets in such REMIC will not cause: (i) such REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding; or (ii) the imposition
of any tax on such REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.

     (m) None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
consent to or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit:
(i) the sale or disposition of any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection
with (A) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, the
sale or other disposition of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (B) the bankruptcy of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, (C) the
termination of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III pursuant to Article IX of this
Agreement, or (D) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to or as contemplated by
Article II or III of this Agreement); (ii) the sale or disposition of any
investments in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account or the REO
Account for gain; or (iii) the acquisition of any assets for REMIC I, REMIC II
or REMIC III (other than a Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure, deed
in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan and
other than Permitted Investments acquired in connection with the investment of
funds in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account or the REO Account);
in any event unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, or acquisition but in no event at
the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that such sale,
disposition, or acquisition will not cause: (x) REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding;
or (y) the imposition of any tax on REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III under the
REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law
or ordinances.

     (n) Except in connection with Section 3.17(a), none of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by
which REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III 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.

successor or amendatory statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue
ruling, revenue procedure or other written official announcement or
interpretation relating to federal income tax laws or any such proposed action
which, if made effective, would apply retroactively to either of the REMICs
created hereunder at least from the effective date of such amendment, or would
be necessary to avoid the occurrence of a prohibited transaction or to reduce
the incidence of any tax that would arise from any actions taken with respect to
the operation of either such REMIC; provided that such action (except any
amendment described in clause (v) above) shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel obtained by or delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder; and provided further that the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Trustee shall have first obtained from each Rating Agency
written assurance that such amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the rating on any Class of Certificates.

     (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the agreement
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received or advanced on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel obtained by or delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
and the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i)
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class, (iii)
modify the provisions of this Section 11.01 without the consent of the Holders
of all Certificates then outstanding, (iv) modify the provisions of Section 3.20
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to all of the Voting
Rights or (v) modify the specified percentage of Voting Rights which are
required to be held by Certificateholders to consent or

<PAGE>
                                     -169-


not to object to any action pursuant to any provision of this Agreement without
the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding
of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, 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 matters described above as they would if any other
Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its
Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage
Loans.

     (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall first have
obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking such amendment) to the effect that (i) such amendment or the
exercise of any power granted to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of
a tax on either of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or cause either of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) such
amendment complies with the provisions of this Section 11.01.

     (d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
send a copy thereof to each Certificateholder.

     (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

     (f) Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee may
but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section
that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or
otherwise.

     (g) The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to Section
11.01(a), (b) or (c) shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
except that if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee requests
any amendment of this Agreement that protects or is in furtherance of the rights
and interests of Certificateholders, the cost of any Opinion of Counsel required
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or (c) shall be payable out
of the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05.

     SECTION 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

     (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund, but only 

<PAGE>
                                     -170-


upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which may be
paid out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)) to the effect
that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation
or responsibility to determine whether any such recordation of this Agreement is
required.

     (b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

     SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

     (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.

     (b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly
provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

     (c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, unless,
with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or with respect to
this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written
notice of default hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore
provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25%
of the Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the
Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any
manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for
herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and

<PAGE>
                                     -171-


enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.

     SECTION 11.04. Governing Law.

     This Agreement and the Certificates shall be construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to

     SECTION 11.06. Severability of Provisions.

     If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

     SECTION 11.07. Grant of a Security Interest.

     The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is
deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends
that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees
that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the
Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor's
entire right, title and interest in and to the assets constituting the Trust
Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, all principal and
interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than
principal and interest payments due and payable prior to the Cut-off Date and
any Principal Prepayments received prior to the Cut-off Date), all amounts held
from time to time in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account and, if
established, the REO Account and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any
title, hazard or other Insurance Policies related to such Mortgage Loans, and
(ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
The Depositor shall file or cause to be filed, as a precautionary filing, a Form
UCC-1 substantially in the form attached as Exhibit K hereto in all appropriate
locations in the State of North Carolina promptly following the initial issuance
of the Certificates, and the Master Servicer shall prepare and file at each such
office, and the Trustee shall execute, continuation statements with respect
thereto, in each case within six months prior to the fifth anniversary of the
immediately preceding filing. The Depositor shall cooperate in a reasonable
manner with the Trustee and the Master Servicer in preparing and filing such
continuation statements. This Section 11.07 shall constitute notice to the
Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the North Carolina UCC.

     SECTION 11.08. Streit Act.

     Any provisions required to be contained in this Agreement by Section 126 of
Article 4-A of the New York Real Property Law are hereby incorporated herein,
and such provisions shall be in addition to those conferred or imposed by this
Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that such Section 126 shall not
have any effect, and if said Section 126 should at any time be repealed or cease
to apply to this Agreement or be construed by judicial decision to be
inapplicable, said Section 126 shall cease to have any further effect upon the
provisions of this Agreement. In case of a conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and any mandatory provisions of Article 4-A of the New York Real
Property Law,

<PAGE>
                                     -172-


such mandatory provisions of said Article 4-A shall prevail, provided that if
said Article 4-A shall not apply to this Agreement, should at any time be
repealed, or cease to apply to this Agreement or be construed by judicial
decision to be inapplicable, such mandatory provisions of such Article 4-A shall
cease to have any further effect upon the provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 11.09. Successors and Assigns; Beneficiaries.

     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all
such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. Lehman
Brothers Inc. shall be a third party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect
to its rights to receive the reports, statements and other information to which
it is entitled hereunder, to preserve its rights under Sub-Servicing Agreements
as contemplated by Section 3.22(d) and to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to
Section 9.01. Each of the Sub-Servicers that is a party to a Sub-Servicing
Agreement on the Closing Date shall be a third party beneficiary to obligations
of a successor Master Servicer under Section 3.22(d), provided that the sole
remedy for any claim by a Sub-Servicer as a third party beneficiary pursuant to
this Section 11.09 shall be against a successor Master Servicer solely in its
corporate capacity and no Sub-Servicer shall have any rights or claims against
the Trust Fund or any party hereto (other than a successor Master Servicer in
its corporate capacity as set forth in this Section 11.09) as a result of any
rights conferred on such Sub-Servicer as a third party beneficiary pursuant to
this Section 11.09. This Agreement may not be amended in any manner that would
adversely affect its rights as a third party beneficiary without its consent. No
other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to
any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

     SECTION 11.10. Article and Section Headings.

     The article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference
only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     SECTION 11.11. Notices to Rating Agencies.

     (a) The Trustee shall promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency with
respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

          (i) any material change or amendment to this Agreement;

          (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;

          (iii) the resignation or termination of the Trustee, the Master
     Servicer or the Special Servicer;

          (iv) the repurchase of Mortgage Loans by either of the Mortgage Loan
     Sellers pursuant to either of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements;

<PAGE>

          (v) any change in the location of the Distribution Account;

          (vi) the final payment to any Class of Certificateholders; and

          (vii) any sale or disposition of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

     (b) The Master Servicer shall promptly provide notice to each Rating Agency
with respect to each of the following of which it has actual knowledge:

          (i) the resignation or removal of the Trustee; and

     (c) The Special Servicer shall furnish each Rating Agency with respect to a
non-performing or defaulted Mortgage Loan such information as the Rating Agency
shall reasonably request and which the Special Servicer can reasonably provide
in accordance with applicable law.

     (d) To the extent applicable, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency copies of the following
items:

          (i) each of its annual statements as to compliance described in
     Section 3.13;

          (ii) each of its annual independent public accountants' servicing
     reports described in Section 3.14;

          (iii) any Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
     Section 4.03(c) or 3.08;

          (iv) each of the reports described in Section 3.12(a) and the
     statements and reports described in Sections 3.12(c) and 3.12(d); and

          (v) each Updated Mortgage Loan Schedule described in Section 3.12(c).

     (e) The Trustee shall (i) make available to each Rating Agency, upon
reasonable notice, the items described in Section 8.14(b) and (ii) promptly
deliver to each Rating Agency a copy of any notices given pursuant to Section
7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b).

     (f) The Trustee shall promptly deliver to each Rating Agency a copy of each
statement or report described in Section 4.02.

     SECTION 11.12. Complete Agreement.

not be varied or terminated except by a written agreement conforming to the
provisions of

Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month

Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard
to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate) will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the
Holder hereof of such final distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
any distribution that may be made with respect to this Certificate in
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to this Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on

will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class A-1 Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-1
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-1 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-1 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class A-1 Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class A-1
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class A-1 Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or
designated portions thereof) as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class A-2 Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on the Class A-2
Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying
agent (the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
the Paying Agent with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a
standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such
Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard
to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate) will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the
Holder hereof of such final distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
any distribution that may be made with respect to this Certificate in
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to this Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on

                                      -3-

which this Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence,
will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class A-2 Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-2
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-2 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-2 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class A-2 Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class A-2
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class A-2 Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or
designated portions thereof) as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate

Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard
to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate) will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the
Holder hereof of such final distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
any distribution that may be made with respect to this Certificate in
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously

Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the

or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-3
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-3 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-3 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class A-3 Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class A-3
Certificates.

authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class A-3 Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or
designated portions thereof) as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class A-3 Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on the Class A-3
Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying
agent (the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided

standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such
Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard
to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate) will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the
Holder hereof of such final distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
any distribution that may be made with respect to this Certificate in
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to this Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on

which this Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence,
will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class A-3 Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-3
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-3 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A-3 Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class A-3 Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class A-3
Certificates.

registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in

Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class A-3 Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

                  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder
of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof


                                      -5-

whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or
designated portions thereof) as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI
MAE Services Limited Partnership in such capacity, hereinafter called the
"Special Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter called the

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under

which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day

                                      -3-


<PAGE>

is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (each, a
"Distribution Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month
of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product of
the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to
be distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates on the applicable
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. All distributions made under the
Agreement on the Class C Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and
Trust Company, as paying agent (the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a

distributions) and is the registered owner of Certificates, or otherwise by
check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the
Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on
this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement
of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to
this Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Trustee or such other
location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final
distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any distribution that may be

Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate, which
reimbursement is to occur after the date on which this Certificate is
surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check

address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any such other address of
which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class C Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class C
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class C Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class C Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class C Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class C
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

distribution) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman
Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to
purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
therein. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Class C
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than
1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the

                                      -6-

obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

EXPERIENCED BY THE TRUST FUND AS SET FORTH IN THE POOLING AND SERVICING

     This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage

principal amount of this Class D Certificate (its "Certificate Principal
Balance") as of the Closing Date by the aggregate principal amount of all the

Bank of North Carolina (in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Master
Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI
MAE Services Limited Partnership in such capacity, hereinafter called the
"Special Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter called the

respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under

which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (each, a
"Distribution Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month
of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an amount equal to the product of
the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to
be distributed to the Holders of the Class D Certificates on the applicable
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. All distributions made under the
Agreement on the Class D Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and
Trust Company, as paying agent (the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a

of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to
this Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Trustee or such other
location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final
distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any distribution that may be

address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any such other address of
which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class D Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class D
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class D Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class D Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class D Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class D
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for

                                      -5-

distribution) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman
Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to
purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
therein. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Class D
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than
1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the



                                       -6-

obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class E Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class E
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class E Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class E Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class E Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class E
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

distribution) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in the Agreement of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman
Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to
purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
therein. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Class E
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than
1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the

                                      -6-

obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class F Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class F
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class F Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class F Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class F 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 such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the Depositor, the
Underwriter or their respective affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the


                                      -5-


<PAGE>

Agreement, and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit
G-3 to the Agreement; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class F
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Class F Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class F
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class F Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     Any transferee of this Certificate, if this Certificate is in book-entry
form, shall be deemed to represent to the transferor, the Trustee and the
Depositor that it is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class F Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class F
Certificates.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class F Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for

Bank of North Carolina (in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Master
Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI
MAE Services Limited Partnership in such capacity, hereinafter called the
"Special Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a
summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate 


                                       -3-



<PAGE>


is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class G Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on the Class G
Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying
agent (the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
the Paying Agent with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a
standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such
Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard
to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust
Fund Expense previously allocated to this Certificate) will be made in like
manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the
Holder hereof of such final distribution. Also notwithstanding the foregoing,
any distribution that may be made with respect to this Certificate in
reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously
allocated to this Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on
which this Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence,
will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class G Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class G
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class G Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class G Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class G 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 such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the Depositor, the
Underwriters or their respective affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the Agreement, and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3 to the Agreement; or
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in
their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s)
as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class G
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Class G Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class G
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class G Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class G Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class G
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. 


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Class G
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than
1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate

allocated to this Certificate, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on
which this Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence,
will be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder that surrenders this
Certificate as such address last appears in the Certificate Register or to any
such other address of which the Trustee is subsequently notified in writing.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class H Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class H
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class H Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class H Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class H 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 such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the Depositor, the
Underwriters or their respective affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


Agreement, and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit
G-3 to the Agreement; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class H
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Class H Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class H
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class H Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class H Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class H
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined 


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority
Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such
right will effect early retirement of the Class H Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     Any distribution to the Holder of this Certificate in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future
Holders of this Certificate and any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
distribution is made upon this Certificate.

     The Class J Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class J
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class J Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class J Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class J 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 such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the Depositor, the
Underwriters or their respective affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


Agreement, and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit
G-3 to the Agreement; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without
registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class J
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Class J Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class J
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class J Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class J Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class J
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined 


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority
Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such
right will effect early retirement of the Class J Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective
capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts
surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such
Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class K
Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any
Class K Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class K
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class K Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class K Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class K
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined 


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority
Subordinate Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such
right will effect early retirement of the Class K Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement), First Union National Bank of North Carolina (in such
capacity, hereinafter called the "Master Servicer", which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI MAE Services Limited Partnership
(in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Special Servicer", which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement) and State Street Bank and
Trust Company (hereinafter called the "Trustee", which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,

this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class IO Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on the Class IO
Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company as paying agent
(the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided

to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a
standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Class IO Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of
such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the 


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class IO Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class IO
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate

writing, and thereupon one or more new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class IO
Certificates.

Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage

purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future

consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

Certificateholders of such final distribution.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class IO Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class IO
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the

registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment

Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class IO Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature,


                                      -5-

this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate

standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Class IO Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of
such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the 


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class IO Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class IO
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate

writing, and thereupon one or more new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued

Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class IO Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, 


                                      -5-

this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class IO Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, 


                                      -5-

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will

distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the

Interest evidenced by this Class IO Certificate in that certain beneficial
ownership interest evidenced by all the Class IO Certificates in the Trust Fund
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above
(the "Agreement"), among First Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.
(hereinafter called the "Depositor", which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement), First Union National Bank of North Carolina (in such
capacity, hereinafter called the "Master Servicer", which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI MAE Services Limited Partnership
(in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Special Servicer", which term
includes any successor entity under the Agreement) and State Street Bank and
Trust Company (hereinafter called the "Trustee", which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class IO Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on the Class IO
Certificates will be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company as paying agent
(the "Paying Agent"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
the Paying Agent with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a
standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) and is the registered
owner of Class IO Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of
such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the 


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class IO Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class IO
Certificates are exchangeable for new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class IO Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate
shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class IO Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class IO
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whatsoever and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, Lehman Brothers Inc. or the Majority Subordinate
Certificateholder or the Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will
effect early retirement of the Class IO Certificates; however, such right to
purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the
face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate

immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an

Certificate will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled

                                      -3-



<PAGE>


     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class R-I Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class R-I Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class R-I Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class R-I Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class R-I 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 of any R-I Certificate is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with the initial issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the
Depositor, the Underwriters or their affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the Agreement, and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3 to the Agreement; or
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the
written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Class R-I Certificates under the Securities
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class R-I Certificate without
registration or qualification. Any Class R-I Certificateholder desiring to
effect such a transfer shall, and by the acceptance of its Class R-I Certificate
agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
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.

     No transfer of a Class R-I Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made to (A) a Plan or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
the Class R-1 Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan (including, without limitation, any
insurance company using assets in its general or separate account that may
constitute assets of a Plan). As a condition to its registration of transfer of
a Class R-1 Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
require the prospective transferee of such Certificate, if it is not a Plan or
Person described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence, to execute a
certification to that effect substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the
Agreement.

     Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of this
Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to have
irrevocably authorized State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying agent (the
"Paying Agent"), under clause (ii)(A) of such Section 5.02(d) to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Certificate Registrar under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d) to
negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must
be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee. In


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall
not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit
and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I-1 to the Agreement
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and agrees to be bound by them.
Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.

     Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein
and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides to the
Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit I-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Each Person
holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing
such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Master Servicer and the
Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the
meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership
Interest on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder".

     The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added
to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer the following: (a) written
confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Trust Fund to
(x) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Class R-I 


                                      -6-

Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person
other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax
caused by the Transfer of a Class R-I Certificate to a Person which is not a
Permitted Transferee.

     A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than a "Disqualified
Organization" or a "Non-United States Person". A "Disqualified Organization" is
any of (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any
possession of the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its
activities are subject to tax and, except for the FHLMC, a majority of its board
of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign
government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers'
cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax
imposed by Chapter I of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of
the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and
telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381 of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel provided to
it that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-I Certificate by such
Person may cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest in
any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any
federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for
the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-I Certificate to such Person.
The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization" shall have
the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

     A "Non-United States Person" is any Person other than a United States
Person. A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the United States,
a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is income for United
States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection of a trade or
business within the United States.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class R-I Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class R-I
Certificates.

Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Master Servicer or the Depositor at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of
purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be

DEEMED TO BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER FOR ANY PURPOSE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE POOLING
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE.

     This certifies that TFINN & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Class R-II Certificate (as specified above) in that
certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class R-II
Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among First Union

term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), First Union National
Bank of North Carolina (in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Master
Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI
MAE Services Limited Partnership in such capacity, hereinafter called the
"Special Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a
summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount, if any, required to be distributed to the Holders of
the Class R-II Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on this Class R-II
Certificate will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto, as such name and address appear in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will

Certificate at the offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class R-II Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class R-II Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class R-II Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class R-II Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class R-II 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 of any R-II Certificate is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with the initial issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the
Depositor, the Underwriters or their affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the Agreement, and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3 to the Agreement; or
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the
written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Class R-II Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class R-II
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class R-II
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class R-II Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No transfer of a Class R-II Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made to (A) a Plan or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
the Class R-1 Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan (including, without limitation, any
insurance company using assets in its general or separate account that may
constitute assets of a Plan). As a condition to its registration of transfer of
a Class R-1 Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
require the prospective transferee of such Certificate, if it is not a Plan or
Person described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence, to execute a
certification to that effect substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the
Agreement.

     Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of this
Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to have
irrevocably authorized State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying agent (the
"Paying Agent"), under clause (ii)(A) of such Section 5.02(d) to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Certificate Registrar under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d) to
negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must
be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee. In 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall
not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit
and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I-1 to the Agreement
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and agrees to be bound by them.
Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.

     Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein
and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides to the
Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit I-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Each Person
holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing
such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Master Servicer and the
Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the
meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership
Interest on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder".

     The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added
to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer the following: (a) written
confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Trust Fund to
(x) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Class R-II 


                                      -6-

Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person
other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax
caused by the Transfer of a Class R-II Certificate to a Person which is not a
Permitted Transferee.

     A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than a "Disqualified
Organization" or a "Non-United States Person". A "Disqualified Organization" is
any of (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any
possession of the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its
activities are subject to tax and, except for the FHLMC, a majority of its board
of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign
government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers'
cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax
imposed by Chapter I of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of
the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and
telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381 of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel provided to
it that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-II Certificate by such
Person may cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest in
any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any
federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for
the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-II Certificate to such
Person. The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization"
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor
provisions.

     A "Non-United States Person" is any Person other than a United States
Person. A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the United States,
a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is income for United
States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection of a trade or
business within the United States.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class R-II Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class R-II
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate

<PAGE>


Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Master Servicer or the Depositor at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of
purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will

DEEMED TO BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER FOR ANY PURPOSE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE POOLING
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE.

     This certifies that TFINN & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Class R-III Certificate (as specified above) in that
certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class R-III
Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the "Agreement"), among First Union

term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), First Union National
Bank of North Carolina (in such capacity, hereinafter called the "Master
Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), CRIIMI
MAE Services Limited Partnership in such capacity, hereinafter called the
"Special Servicer", which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement), a
summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the
18th day of each month or, if such 18th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount, if any, required to be distributed to the Holders of
the Class R-III Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement. All distributions made under the Agreement on this Class R-III
Certificate will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will

Certificate at the offices of the Trustee or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


     The Certificates are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account
and, if established, the REO Account may be made from time to time for purposes
other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made,
or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the payment
of interest on such advances and expenses.

     The Class R-III Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in minimum denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Class R-III Certificates are exchangeable for new
Class R-III Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Class R-III Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

     No transfer of any Class R-III 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 of any R-III Certificate is to be
made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection
with the initial issuance thereof or the initial transfer thereof by the
Depositor, the Underwriters or their affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar
shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives either: (i) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 to the Agreement, and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as either Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3 to the Agreement; or
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the
effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the
written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is
based. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Class R-III Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class R-III
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class R-III
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class R-III Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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.

     No transfer of a Class R-III Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made to (A) a Plan or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
the Class R-1 Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan (including, without limitation, any
insurance company using assets in its general or separate account that may
constitute assets of a Plan). As a condition to its registration of transfer of
a Class R-1 Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
require the prospective transferee of such Certificate, if it is not a Plan or
Person described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence, to execute a
certification to that effect substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the
Agreement.

     Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership
Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of this
Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to have
irrevocably authorized State Street Bank and Trust Company, as paying agent (the
"Paying Agent"), under clause (ii)(A) of such Section 5.02(d) to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Certificate Registrar under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d) to
negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must
be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee. In 


                                      -5-



<PAGE>


connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall
not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit
and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit I-1 to the Agreement
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and agrees to be bound by them.
Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.

     Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein
and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides to the
Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit I-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Each Person
holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing
such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Master Servicer and the
Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the
meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership
Interest on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder".

     The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added
to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer the following: (a) written
confirmation from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Trust Fund to
(x) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Class R-III 


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person
other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax
caused by the Transfer of a Class R-III Certificate to a Person which is not a
Permitted Transferee.

     A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than a "Disqualified
Organization" or a "Non-United States Person". A "Disqualified Organization" is
any of (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any
possession of the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its
activities are subject to tax and, except for the FHLMC, a majority of its board
of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign
government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers'
cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax
imposed by Chapter I of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of
the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and
telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381 of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel provided to
it that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-III Certificate by
such Person may cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest
in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for
any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but
for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-III Certificate to such
Person. The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization"
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor
provisions.

     A "Non-United States Person" is any Person other than a United States
Person. A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the United States,
a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is income for United
States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection of a trade or
business within the United States.

     No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Class R-III Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Class R-III
Certificates.

     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate
upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed
to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the
Master Servicer or the Depositor at a price determined as provided in the
Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining therein. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of
purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date specified on the face hereof.

     The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to
maintain the status of the Trust Fund (or designated portions thereof) as a
REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, 


                                      -8-

this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid for any purpose.

     The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for
distributions hereunder.

     This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be
determined in accordance with such laws.

                                   EXHIBIT E-1

                 CALCULATION OF NOI/DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIOS


     "Net Operating Income" shall mean the revenue derived from the use and
operation of a Mortgaged Property less operating expenses (such as utilities,
administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, tenant improvement costs,
leasing commissions, management fees and advertising), fixed expenses (such as
insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground lease payments) and
reserves (such as reserves for tenant improvements and leasing commissions in
the case of Rental Properties and assumed reserves for ongoing capital
expenditures). Net cash flow does not reflect interest expenses and non-cash
items such as depreciation and amortization, and generally does not reflect
capital expenditures, but does reflect reserves for replacements.

     In determining the "revenue" component of Net Operating Income for each
Rental Property, the Special Servicer shall rely on the most recent rent roll
supplied by the related borrower and where the actual vacancy shown thereon and
the market vacancy is less than 5%, the Special Servicer shall assume a 5%
vacancy in determining revenue from rents, except that in the case of certain
anchored shopping centers, space occupied by anchor tenants shall be disregarded
in performing the vacancy adjustment due to the length of the related leases or
creditworthiness of such tenants, in accordance with the respective Mortgage
Loan Seller's underwriting standards. In determining rental revenue for
multifamily properties, the Special Servicer shall either review rental revenue
shown on the rolling 12-month operating statements or annualize the rental
revenue shown on rent rolls or operating statements with respect to the prior
three to twelve month periods. For the other Rental Properties, the Special
Servicer shall annualize rental revenue shown on the most recent rent roll,
after applying the vacancy factor, without further regard to the terms
(including expiration dates) of the leases shown thereon. In the case of
hospitality properties, gross receipts shall be determined on the basis of
adjusted average daily occupancy shown on the borrower-supplied operating
statements. In the case of residential health care facilities, receipts shall be
based on historical occupancy levels, historical operating revenues and the then
current occupancy rates. Private occupancy rates shall be within current market
ranges and vacancy levels shall be at a minimum of 5%. In general, any
non-recurring items and non-property related revenue shall be eliminated from
the calculation except in the case of residential health care facilities.

     In determining the "expense" component of Net Operating Income for each
Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall rely on the most recent financial
statements supplied by the related borrower, except that (a) if tax or insurance
expense information more current than that reflected in the financial statements
is available, the newer information shall be annualized and used, (b) with
respect to 


                                      E-1



<PAGE>


each Mortgaged Property, property management fees shall be assumed to be 4% to
5% of effective gross revenue (except with respect to hospitality properties,
where a minimum of 5% of gross receipts shall be assumed) unless actual
management fees are higher, in which case actual management fees shall be
assumed, (c) assumptions shall be made with respect to reserves for leasing
commission, tenant improvement expenses and capital expenditures and (d)
expenses shall be assumed to include annual replacement reserves equal to (1) in
the case of retail, office, industrial and two mixed use multifamily/retail
properties, not less than $0.04 and not more than $0.77 per square foot net
rentable commercial area, (2) in the case of multifamily and three mixed use
multifamily/retail properties, not less than $150 or more than $350 per
residential unit per year, depending on the condition of the property, (3) in
the case of hospitality properties, 4% of the gross revenues received by the
property owner on an ongoing basis, (4) in the case of residential healthcare
facilities, $225 to $300 per bed per year and (5) in the case of the mobile home
parks, not less than $31 or more than $79 per pad per year. In addition, in some
instances, the Special Servicer may recharacterize as capital expenditures those
items reported by borrowers as operating expenses (thus increasing "net
operating income") where determined appropriate.

     security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation
     by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any

     (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Certificate
     under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), or would render
     the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the

<PAGE>


Transferee, (ii) securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or
subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank
deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v)
repurchase agreements, (vi) securities owned but subject to a repurchase

securities referred to in this paragraph.

     4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned

the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee reports its

value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities were valued at market. Further,
in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.

majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands that the parties to which this certification is being made are
relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or
more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.

      ___       __       Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred
      Yes       No       Certificate only for the Transferee's own account?

     6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each case where
the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account
belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional buyer" within
the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer" status of such
third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the
appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.

     7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred
Certificate will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date
of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings

            QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A

           [For Transferees That Are Registered Investment Companies]


     The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor] (the
"Transferor") and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Certificate Registrar,
with respect to the mortgage pass-through certificate being transferred (the
"Transferred Certificate") as described in the Transferee Certificate to which
this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:

     1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a
person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the
entity purchasing the Transferred Certificate (the "Transferee") or, if the
Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term is defined in Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") because the Transferee is
part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an executive
officer of the investment adviser (the "Adviser").

     2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule
144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee's Family of
Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the
excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most
recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned
by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the cost
of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at
market.

     o    The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $_______
          in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below)
          as of the end of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount
          being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

     o    The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned
          in the aggregate $_______ in securities (other than the excluded
          securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most
          recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with
          Rule 144A).


                                     G-2-7



<PAGE>


     3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means two or
more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same
investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of
being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment
adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).

     4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i) securities of
issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee's
Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities
owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by
the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in
this paragraph were excluded.

     5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the
parties to which this certification is being made are relying and will continue
to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the
Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.

      ___       __       Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred
      Yes       No       Certificate only for the Transferee's own account?

     6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each case where
the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account
belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional buyer" within
the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer" status of such
third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the
appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.

     7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such
notice, the Transferee's purchase of the Transferred Certificate will constitute
a reaffirmation of


                                     G-2-8

     Certificates, Series 1997-C1, Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] evidencing a ___%
     Percentage Interest (the "Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates").
     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to
     such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 1997,
     among First Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, First
     Union National Bank of North Carolina as Master Servicer, CRIIMI MAE
     Services Limited Partnership, as Special Servicer, and State Street Bank

          2. That the Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of

     electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of
     the Code and (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee based upon
     an Opinion of Counsel that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class
     [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificate by such Person may cause the Trust Fund or
     any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates, other
     than such Person, to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under
     the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an
     Ownership Interest in a Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificate to such
     Person. The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization"
     shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor

     thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United
     States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax
     purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or
     business within the United States.

          3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
     transfers of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates to disqualified
     organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all
     transfers of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates after March 31,
     1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer
     is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
     for a disqualified organization Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the
     person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
     tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the
     transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer,
     such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and
     (iv) that the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates may be "noneconomic
     residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulation section
     1.860E-I(c)(2) and that the transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest"
     will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such
     residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to
     enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

          4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
     entity" holding the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates if at any time
     during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a non-Permitted
     Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. For this
     purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a regulated investment 


                                     I-1-2



<PAGE>


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

          5. That the Owner is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not
     register the transfer of any Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificate unless
     the transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to the Trustee, among
     other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this
     affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such
     transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained
     in such affidavit and agreement are false.

          6. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
     arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to
     constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class [R-I, R-II,
     R-III] Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by
     Permitted Transferees.

          7. That the Owner's taxpayer identification number is _____________.

          8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
     of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates and the provisions of Section
     5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class [R-I,
     R-II, R-III] Certificates were issued (and, in particular, the Owner is
     aware that such Section authorizes the Trustee to deliver payments to a
     person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee
     in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section
     5.02); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply
     with such restrictions and provisions.

          9. That the Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class
     [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates in order to impede the assessment or
     collection of any tax.

          10. That the Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds any
     of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay
     any taxes owed by the holder of such Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates.

          11. That the Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
     insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds any
     of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates.

          12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
     will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of
     the Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby
     represents to 


                                     I-1-3



<PAGE>


     and for the benefit of the Person from whom it acquired the Class [R-I,
     R-II, R-III] Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated
     with holding the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates as they become due,
     fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
     flows generated by the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates.

          13. That the Owner is not acquiring the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III]
     Certificates with the intent to transfer any of the Class [R-I, R-II,
     R-III] Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient
     assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class [R-I, R-II, R-III]
     Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
     proceeding, for so long as the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates remain
     outstanding.

          14. That Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
     the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
     representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement under which the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates were issued
     and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that
     should lead it to believe, that any such representations are false.

          15. That Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
     any Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificate, deliver to the Certificate
     Registrar an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not
     transferring such Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificate to impede the
     assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge
     that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any taxes
     owed by such transferee as holder of such Class [R-I, R-II, R-III]
     Certificate; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
     proceeding, for so long as the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates remain
     outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".

Dear Sirs:

     This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
____________________________________ (the "Transferor") to
______________________________________________ (the "Transferee") of the
captioned Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates (the "Class [R-I, R-II, R-III]
Certificates"), pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of May 1, 1997, among First
Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor, First Union National
Bank of North Carolina, as master servicer, CRIIMI MAE Services Limited
Partnership, as special servicer, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as
trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby
represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:


                                     I-2-1



<PAGE>


          1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Class
     [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or
     will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

          2. The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you
     a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and
     Servicing Agreement as Exhibit I-1. The Transferor does not know or believe
     that any representation contained therein is false.

          3. The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a
     reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as
     contemplated by Treasury regulation section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a
     result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the
     Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found
     no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue
     to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor
     understands that the transfer of the Class [R-I, R-II, R-III] Certificates
     may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
     Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
     associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an
     investigation.


                                       Very truly yours,

                                    EXHIBIT B

     The term "Permitted Investments" shall include any of the following
securities or obligations:

     (i)  direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed as to timely
          payment of principal and interest by, the United States or any agency
          or instrumentality thereof, provided such obligations are backed by
          the full faith and credit of the United States. Such obligations must
          be limited to those instruments that have a predetermined fixed dollar
          amount of principal due at maturity that cannot vary or change. If
          rated, such an obligation should not have an "r" highlighter affixed
          to its rating by Standard & Poor's. Interest may either by fixed or
          variable. Interest should be tied to a single interest rate index plus
          a single fixed spread (if any), and move proportionately with that
          index. Such investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;

     (ii) repurchase obligations with respect to any security described in
          clause (i) above (having original maturities of not more than 365
          days), provided that the short-term deposit or debt obligations, of
          the party agreeing to repurchase such obligations are rated in the
          highest rating category of each of Fitch, if rated by Fitch, Moody's
          and Standard & Poor's or such lower rating as will not result in
          qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned
          to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies.
          In addition, any such item should not have an "r" highlighter affixed
          to its rating by Standard & Poor's, and its terms should have a
          predetermined fixed dollar amount of principal due at maturity that
          cannot very or change. Interest may either by fixed or variable, and
          should be tied to a single interest rate index plus a single fixed
          spread (if any), and move proportionately with that index. Such
          investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;

    (iii) certificates of deposit, time deposits, demand deposits and bankers'
          acceptances of any bank or trust company organized under the laws of
          the United States or any state thereof (having 


                                     K-1-5



<PAGE>


          original maturities of not more than 365 days), the short term
          obligations of which are rated in the highest rating category of each
          of Fitch, if rated by Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's or such
          lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or
          withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as
          evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies. In addition, any such
          item should not have an "r" highlighter affixed to its rating by
          Standard & Poor's, and its terms should have a predetermined fixed
          dollar amount of principal due at maturity that cannot vary or change.
          Interest may either by fixed or variable, and should be tied to a
          single interest rate index plus a single fixed spread (if any), and
          move proportionately with that index. Such investments should not be
          relied upon for a fixed yield;

     (iv) commercial paper (having original maturities of not more than 365
          days) of any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United
          States or any state thereof (or if not so incorporated, the commercial
          paper is United States Dollar denominated and amounts payable
          thereunder are not subject to any withholding imposed by any
          non-United States jurisdiction) which is rated in the highest rating
          category of each of Fitch, if rated by Fitch, Moody's and Standard &
          Poor's. The commercial paper should not have an "r" highlighter
          affixed to its rating by Standard & Poor's and by its terms should
          have a predetermined fixed dollar amount of principal due at maturity
          that cannot vary or change. Interest may either by fixed or variable.
          Interest should be tied to a single interest rate index plus a single
          fixed spread (if any), and move proportionately with that index. Such
          investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;

     (v)  units of money market funds rated in the highest rating category of
          Fitch, if rated by Fitch, and Moody's and AAAm or AAAm-G by Standard &
          Poor's and which maintain a constant net asset value;


                                     K-1-6



<PAGE>


     (vi) any other obligation or security acceptable to each Rating Agency,
          evidence of which acceptability shall be provided in writing by each
          Rating Agency to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
          Trustee;

provided that (1) no investment described hereunder shall evidence either the
right to receive (x) only interest with respect to such investment or (y) a
yield to maturity greater than 120% of the yield to maturity at par of the
underlying obligations; and (2) that no investment described hereunder may be
purchased at a price greater than par if such investment may be prepaid or
called at a price less than its purchase price prior to stated maturity.

*   Status should containg a code indicating the current direction of each loan
    such as (FCL - In Foreclosure, MOD - Modification, DPO - Discount Payoff, NS
    - Note Sale, BK - Bankrupcy, PP - Payment Plan, Curr - Current, TBD - To Be
    Determined etc...) 

     It is possible to combine the status codes if the loan is going in more
     than one direction. (i.e. FCL/Mod, BK/Mod, BK/FCL/DPO)

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997 (the
"Agreement"), between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (the "Seller") and First
Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the "Purchaser").

     The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to purchase certain
multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") as provided
herein. The Purchaser intends to deposit them, together with the First Union
Mortgage Loans (as defined below), into a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), the
beneficial ownership of which will be evidenced by multiple classes (each, a
"Class") of mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"). One or more
"real estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") elections will be made with
respect to the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be created and the Certificates
will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), dated as of May 1, 1997 (the "Cut-off Date"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, First Union National Bank of North Carolina as master
servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"), CRIIMI MAE Services Limited
Partnership as special servicer (in such capacity, the "Special Servicer") and
State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee (the "Trustee"). Concurrently
with the purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser
will also purchase multifamily and commercial mortgage loans pursuant to a
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997, between First Union
National Bank of North Carolina and the Purchaser (the "First Union Agreement").
Such mortgage loans (the "First Union Mortgage Loans") will likewise be
deposited into the Trust Fund. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.

     (a) The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the
Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule") annexed
hereto as Exhibit A. The Mortgage Loan Schedule may be amended to reflect the
actual Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof.
(The Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "LBHI Mortgage Loans.") The LBHI Mortgage Loans will have
an aggregate principal balance of $784,188,582.16 (the "LBHI Balance") as of the
close of business on the Cut-off Date, after giving effect to any payments due
on or before such date whether or not received. 



<PAGE>


The LBHI Balance and the First Union Balance (as defined in the First Union
Agreement) together equal an aggregate principal balance (the "Initial Pool
Balance") of $1,305,448,224. The purchase and sale of the LBHI Mortgage Loans
shall take place on May 1, 1997 or such other date as shall be mutually
acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing Date"). The consideration for the
LBHI Mortgage Loans shall consist of (A) a cash amount equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal balance of the LBHI Mortgage Loans, plus (B) interest
accrued on each LBHI Mortgage Loan at the related Net Mortgage Rate, for the
period from and including the Cut-off Date up to but not including the Closing
Date, which cash amount shall be paid to the Seller or its designee by wire
transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

     The Purchaser will assign to the Trustee, all of its right, title and
interest in and to the LBHI Mortgage Loans.

     SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

     (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the
purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof, the Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the LBHI
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date other
than the primary servicing rights. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be
amended, shall conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) The Purchaser or its assignee shall be entitled to receive all
scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-off Date, and all
other recoveries of principal and interest collected after the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest on the LBHI Mortgage Loans due
on or before the Cut-off Date). All scheduled payments of principal and interest
due on or before the Cut-off Date but collected after the Cut-off Date, and
recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-off Date
(only in respect of principal and interest on the LBHI Mortgage Loans due on or
before the Cut-off Date), shall belong to, and be promptly remitted to, the
Seller.

     (c) The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has, on behalf of the
Purchaser, delivered to the Trustee, the documents and instruments specified
below with respect to each LBHI Mortgage Loan (each a "Mortgage File"). All
Mortgage Files so delivered will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all times
prior to the Closing Date. Each Mortgage File shall, except as otherwise
disclosed on Exhibit B hereto, contain the following documents:

          (i) the original executed Mortgage Note, endorsed (without recourse,
     representation or warranty, 


                                      -2-

          (viii) filed copies of any prior UCC Financing Statements in favor of
     the originator of such Mortgage Loan or in favor of any assignee prior to
     the Trustee (but only to the extent the Seller had possession of such UCC
     Financing Statements prior to the Closing Date) and, if 


                                      -3-



<PAGE>


     there is an effective UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Seller on

     Trust Company, as trustee for the registered holders of the First
     Union-Lehman Brothers Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage
     Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-C1.

     (d) Within 30 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall submit

Trustee constituting part of the Mortgage File. If any such document or
instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be,
because of a defect therein, then the Seller shall prepare a substitute therefor
or cure such defect or cause such to be done, as the case may be, and the Seller
shall deliver such substitute or corrected document or instrument to the
Purchaser or its designee.

     (e) All documents necessary to the servicing of the LBHI Mortgage Loans and
in the Seller's possession (the "Additional Mortgage Loan Documents") that are
not required to be delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered or caused to be
delivered by the Seller to the Master Servicer or at the direction of the Master
Servicer to the appropriate sub-servicer.

     SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller.

     (a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the
Purchaser, as of the date hereof, that:

          (i) The Seller is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the
     State of Delaware and possesses all requisite authority, power, licenses,
     permits and franchises to carry on its business as currently conducted by
     it and to execute, deliver and comply with its obligations under the terms
     of this Agreement.

          (ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery hereof by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
     obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with
     its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
     enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and by general equity


                                      -4-



<PAGE>


     principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law), or by public policy considerations
     underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy
     considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement
     which purport to provide indemnification from liabilities under applicable
     securities laws.

          (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and
     the Seller's performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement
     will not (A) violate the Seller's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws,
     (B) violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to
     which it is subject or (C) 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 contract, agreement or other
     instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound.

          (iv) The Seller is not in default with respect to any order or decree
     of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
     municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default might have
     consequences that would, in the Seller's reasonable and good faith
     judgment, materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
     other) or operations of the Seller or its properties or have consequences
     that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.

          (v) The Seller is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
     instrument or subject to any articles of incorporation, bylaws or any other
     corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law
     or regulation that would, in the Seller's reasonable and good faith
     judgment, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to
     perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent
     of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance
     by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement.

          (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
     governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
     performance by the Seller of or compliance by the Seller with this
     Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement and no bulk sale law applies to such transactions.

          (vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Seller's
     knowledge, threatened against the Seller that would, in the Seller's good
     faith and reasonable judgment, prohibit its entering into this Agreement or
     materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its
     obligations under this Agreement.

          (viii) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and for
     federal income tax purposes, the Seller will report the transfer of the
     LBHI Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale of the LBHI Mortgage Loans
     to the Purchaser in exchange for consideration consisting of (A) a cash
     amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal balance of the LBHI
     Mortgage Loans, plus (B) interest accrued on each LBHI Mortgage Loan at the
     related Net Mortgage Rate, for the period from and including the Cut-off
     Date up to but not including the Closing Date. The consideration received
     by the Seller upon the sale of the LBHI Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser
     will constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the
     LBHI Mortgage Loans. The Seller will be solvent at all relevant times prior
     to, and will not be rendered insolvent by, the sale of the LBHI Mortgage
     Loans to the Purchaser. The Seller is not selling the LBHI Mortgage Loans
     to the Purchaser with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the
     creditors of the Seller.

     (b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Purchaser and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders as of the
Closing Date, with respect to each LBHI Mortgage Loan, that:

          (i) The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan set forth in the
     Mortgage Loan Schedule was true and correct in all material respects as of
     the Cut-Off Date;

          (ii) If such Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or an
     affiliate thereof, then, as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage
     Loan complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all
     requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of
     such Mortgage Loan; and, if such Mortgage Loan was not originated by the
     Seller or an affiliate thereof, then, to the best of the Seller's knowledge
     after having performed the type of due diligence customarily performed by
     prudent institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders, as of
     the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan complied in all material
     respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or
     local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan;

          (iii) The Seller owns the Mortgage Loan, has good and marketable title
     thereto, has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the
     Mortgage Loan and is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
     and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature
     encumbering such Mortgage Loan, and no provision of the Mortgage Note,
     Mortgage or other loan document relating to such Mortgage Loan prohibits or
     restricts the Seller's right to assign or transfer such Mortgage Loan;


                                      -6-



<PAGE>


          (iv) The proceeds of such Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and
     there is no requirement for future advances thereunder;

          (v) Each of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s), Assignment of
     Leases, if any, and other agreements executed in connection therewith is
     the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to
     any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency
     legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
     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
     enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and a legal
     opinion to such effect was obtained by the originator of such Mortgage Loan
     at the time of origination;

          (vi) As of the date of its origination, there was no valid offset,
     defense, counterclaim or right to rescission with respect to any of the
     related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) or other agreements executed in
     connection therewith, and, as of the Cut-off Date, to the best knowledge of
     the Seller, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right to
     rescission with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) or other
     agreements;

          (vii) The assignment of the related Mortgage and assignment of leases
     to the Trustee constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable
     assignment of such Mortgage in accordance with its terms, except as such
     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
     enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

          (viii) Each related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on
     the related Mortgaged Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear
     of all encumbrances and liens having priority over or on a parity with the
     first lien of such Mortgage, except for (a) liens for real estate taxes and
     special assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
     restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record
     as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of
     record being customarily acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
     generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal of such Mortgaged
     Property made in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan and
     (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject and which
     do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the
     benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or
     materially affect the value or marketability of 


                                      -7-



<PAGE>


     such Mortgaged Property, and such encumbrances do not materially interfere
     with the current use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the
     ability of the related Mortgagor to timely pay in full the principal and
     interest on the related Mortgage Note; there exists with respect to such
     Mortgaged Property an assignment of leases and rents provision, whether as
     part of the related Mortgage or as a separate document or instrument, which
     establishes and creates a first priority security interest in and to leases
     and rents arising in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, subject
     only to encumbrances described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this
     subparagraph (viii);

          (ix) The Seller has filed and/or recorded in all appropriate public
     filing and recording offices all UCC-1 financing statements necessary to
     create and perfect a security interest in and lien on the items of personal
     property described therein (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted
     such UCC-1 financing statements for filing and/or recording and such UCC-1
     financing statements are in form and substance acceptable for filing and/or
     recording), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable
     law by recording or filing;

          (x) All taxes and governmental assessments that prior to the Cut-off
     Date became due and owing in respect of, and affect, each related Mortgaged
     Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to
     cover such payments has been established;

          (xi) As of the date of its origination, there was no proceeding
     pending for the total or partial condemnation of each related Mortgaged
     Property that materially affects the value thereof, and such Mortgaged
     Property was free of material damage; and, as of the Cut-off Date, the
     Seller has not received any notice of the commencement of any proceeding
     for the total or partial condemnation of any related Mortgaged Property
     that materially affects the value thereof, and such Mortgaged Property is
     free of material damage;

          (xii) Each related Mortgaged Property is covered by an ALTA (or its
     equivalent) lender's title insurance policy insuring that each related
     Mortgage is a valid first lien on such Mortgaged Property in the original
     principal amount of the Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, or
     there is a binding commitment from a title insurer qualified and licensed
     in the applicable jurisdiction, as required, to issue such policy; such
     title insurance policy, if issued, is in full force and effect, is freely
     assignable and will inure solely to the benefit of the Trustee as mortgagee
     of record, or any such commitment is a legal, valid and binding obligation
     of such insurer; no claims have been made under such title insurance
     policy, if issued; and to the best knowledge of the Seller, no prior
     mortgagee has done, by act 


                                      -8-



<PAGE>


     or omission, anything which would materially impair the coverage of any
     such title insurance policy;

          (xiii) As of the date of its origination, all insurance required under
     each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were
     customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage
     lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the
     related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged
     Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils
     insurance policy, was in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at
     least equal to 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the
     improvements located on such Mortgaged Property, was in full force and
     effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; and, as of the
     Cut-off Date, to the best knowledge of the Seller, all insurance required
     under each Mortgage, which insurance covers such risks and is in such
     amounts as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily
     mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property
     comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which
     such Mortgaged Property is located, is in full force and effect with
     respect to each related Mortgaged Property; and no notice of termination or
     cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by
     the Seller; except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would
     be considered prudent by an institutional commercial mortgage lender with
     respect to a similar mortgage loan and which are set forth in the related
     Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss or taking,
     will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the
     related Mortgaged Property;

          (xiv) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent,
     (A) there is no material default, breach, violation or event of
     acceleration, and there is no other material default, breach, violation or
     event of acceleration, existing under the related Mortgage Note or each
     related Mortgage, and (B) to the best of the Seller's knowledge, after due
     inquiry, there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice
     and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents referred to in clause (A), and, to the knowledge of the Seller,
     there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
     expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute any other material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents referred to in clause (A); the Seller has not waived any material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents referred to in clause (A), and the Seller has not waived any
     other material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under
     such documents; and under the terms of each Mortgage Loan, each related
     Mortgage Note, each related 


                                      -9-

     Mortgage and the other loan documents in the related Mortgage File, no
     person or party other than the Mortgagee may declare an event of default or
     accelerate the related indebtedness under such Mortgage Loan, Mortgage Note
     or Mortgage;

          (xv) As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loan is not, and in the
     prior 12 months (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has
     been originated within the past 12 months), has not been, 30 days or more
     past due in respect of any Scheduled Payment;

          (xvi) Except with respect to the Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit E
     hereto which accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days
     elapsed over a 360 day year, the Mortgage Loan accrues interest (payable
     monthly in arrears) at a fixed Mortgage Rate on the basis of a 360-day year
     consisting of twelve 30-day months;

          (xvii) Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without
     the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, each related
     Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation,
     except as expressly described in such Mortgage and other than another
     Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund;

          (xviii) Such Mortgage Loan is or constitutes part of a "qualified
     mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;

          (xix) One or more environmental site assessments were performed by an
     environmental consulting firm independent of the Seller and the Seller's
     affiliates with respect to each related Mortgaged Property during the
     18-month period preceding the Cut-off Date, and the Seller, having made no
     independent inquiry other than to review the report(s) prepared in
     connection with the assessment(s) referenced herein, has no knowledge of
     any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting
     such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in such report(s);

          (xx) The related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) and Assignment of Leases,
     if any, contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the
     rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
     against the related Mortgaged Property or properties of the benefits of the
     security, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial
     foreclosure, subject to applicable reorganization, insolvency, moratorium
     and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally as from time
     to time, in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless of
     whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
     law);

     related Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
     insolvency or comparable proceeding;

          (xxii) Such Mortgage Loan is secured by either a mortgage on a fee
     simple interest or a leasehold estate in a commercial property or

          (xxv) The related Mortgage contains provisions for the acceleration of
     the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if,
     without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, each related Mortgaged
     Property or any interest therein, is directly or indirectly encumbered in
     connection with subordinate financing; provided, however, the eight
     Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit F hereto, are encumbered by subordinated
     debt;

          (xxvi) Except with respect to (W) transfers of certain non-controlling
     interests in the Mortgagors as specified in the related Mortgage, (X) the

     documents to maintain the related Mortgaged Property in compliance with all
     applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants and restrictions

     Property, and the related originator performed the type of due diligence in
     connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan customarily performed
     by prudent institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders with
     respect to the foregoing matters; the Seller has received no notice of any
     material violation of any applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules,
     covenants or restrictions affecting the construction, occupancy, use or
     operation of such Mortgaged Property; to the Seller's knowledge (based on
     surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination
     of such Mortgage Loan), as of the date of such origination, no improvement
     that was included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the
     related Mortgaged Property at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan
     lay outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property
     to an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the related
     Mortgagor's use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless
     affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in paragraph (xii)
     above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such
     Mortgaged Property to any material extent;

<PAGE>


     Mortgagee an operating statement of each related Mortgaged Property

     incidental to its ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Property;

          (xxxiv) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is secured in whole or
     in material part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a Ground
     Lease but not by the related fee interest;

               (A) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be
          duly recorded and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee
          thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of
          the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the
          Closing Date;

               (B) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable
          to the Trustee without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if
          any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the
          Closing Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further
          assignable by the Trustee and its successors without a need to obtain
          the consent of such lessor;

               (C) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or
          terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee
          thereunder and that any such action without such consent is not
          binding on such Mortgagee, its successors or assigns;

               (D) Unless otherwise set forth in the Ground Lease, the Ground
          Lease does not permit any increase in the amount of rent payable by
          the ground lessee thereunder during the term of the Mortgage Loan;

               (E) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, at the Closing Date,
          such Ground Lease is in full force and effect and other than payments
          due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, (A) there is no material
          default, and (B) there is no event which, with the passage of time or
          with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
          constitute a material default under such Ground Lease;

               (F) Such Ground Lease or an estoppel or consent letter received
          by the Mortgagee from the lessor, requires the lessor thereunder to
          give notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee; and such
          Ground Lease, or an 


                                      -13-



<PAGE>


          estoppel or consent letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor,
          further provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground
          Lease is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been
          delivered to the Mortgagee in the manner described in such Ground
          Lease, estoppel or consent letter;

               (G) The ground lessee's interest in the Ground Lease is not
          subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority
          with, the related Mortgage, other than the related ground lessor's
          related fee interest and any exceptions stated in the related title
          insurance policy or opinion of title, which exceptions do not and will
          not materially and adversely interfere with (1) the ability of the
          related Mortgagor timely to pay in full the principal and interest on
          the related Mortgage Note, (2) the use of such Mortgaged Property for
          the use currently being made thereof, or (3) the value of the
          Mortgaged Property;

               (H) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity to cure any
          curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder
          may terminate such Ground Lease;

               (I) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any
          extension options set forth therein) that extends not less than 10
          years beyond the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;

               (J) Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent
          letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related
          Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or
          condemnation proceeds will be applied either to the repair or
          restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the
          Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and
          disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to
          the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
          together with any accrued interest thereon;

               (K) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on
          subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a
          prudent commercial mortgage lender;

               (L) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to
          enter into a new lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any
          reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy, and
          (except with respect to Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit L hereto) for
          any reason, upon the request of the lender; and

          intended to be provided by such Mortgage.

     actions, suits or proceedings by or before any court or governmental
     authority against or affecting the related Mortgagor or the related
     Mortgaged Property that, if determined adversely to such Mortgagor or

     Mortgaged Property or the ability of the Mortgagor to pay principal,
     interest or any other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan;

          (xxxvii) Such Mortgage Loan complied with all applicable usury laws in

     to ensure the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan;

Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90-day period and what
actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating
that the Seller anticipates that such breach will be cured within the additional
90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to
issue a policy of lender's title insurance as described in Section 3(b)(xii) in
lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender's title insurance shall not
be considered a Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual
policy of insurance is delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf not
later than the 90th day following the Closing Date.

     SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In order to
induce the Seller to enter into this

Agreement, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Seller as of the date hereof that:

          (a) The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
     and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Purchaser
     has the full corporate power and authority and legal right to acquire the
     LBHI Mortgage Loans from the Seller and to transfer the LBHI Mortgage Loans
     to the Trustee.

          (b) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Purchaser, all requisite action by the Purchaser's
     directors and officers has been taken in connection therewith, and
     (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
     Seller) this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding agreement
     of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its
     terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) laws relating to
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or moratorium, (B)
     other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or
     (C) general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
     considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (c) Except as may be required under federal or state securities laws
     (and which will be obtained on a timely basis), no consent, approval,
     authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any
     governmental authority or court, is required, under federal or state law,
     for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or
     compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by the
     Purchaser of any transaction described in this Agreement.

          (d) None of the acquisition of the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the
     Purchaser, the transfer of the LBHI Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and the
     execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser,
     conflicts or will conflict with, results or will result in a breach of, or
     constitutes or will constitute a default under (A) any term or provision of
     the Purchaser's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (B) any term or
     provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to
     which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound, or (C)
     any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of
     any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Purchaser
     or its assets.

          (e) Under GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, the Purchaser will
     report the transfer of the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
     Purchaser as a sale of the LBHI Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange
     for consideration consisting of (A) a cash amount equal to 100% of the
     aggregate principal balance of the LBHI Mortgage Loans, plus (B) interest
     accrued on each LBHI Mortgage Loan at the related Net Mortgage Rate, for
     the


                                      -17-

     period from and including the Cut-off Date up to but not including the
     Closing Date.

     SECTION 5. Closing. The closing of the sale of the LBHI Mortgage Loans (the
"Closing") shall be held at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, One
Citicorp Center, 153 East 53rd Street, New York, New York 10022 at 10:00 A.M.,

     representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Section 4 of
     this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the
     Closing Date; provided, however, that any material inaccuracy in any
     representation and warranty set forth in Section 3(b) shall not affect the
     Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Mortgage Loans not affected by such
     inaccuracy;

          (b) All documents specified in Section 6 of this Agreement (the
     "Closing Documents"), in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to
     the Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, shall be duly executed and
     delivered by all signatories as required pursuant to the respective terms
     thereof;

          (c) The Seller shall have delive red and released to the Custodian and
     the Master Servicer, respectively, all documents represented to have been
     or required to be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer pursuant
     to Section 2 of this Agreement;

          (d) All other terms and conditions of this Agreement required to be
     complied with on or before the Closing Date shall have been complied with
     in all material respects and the Seller shall have the ability to comply
     with all terms and conditions and perform all duties and obligations
     required to be complied with or performed after the Closing Date; and

          (e) The Seller shall have paid all fees and expenses payable by it to

obligations hereunder in a manner that will enable the Purchaser to purchase the
LBHI Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date.

     material respects at and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if
     made on such date; and (ii) the Seller has, in all material respects,

     Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 9, 1997 between the Purchaser and

     Agreement) or as of the Closing Date, included or includes any untrue
     statement of a material fact relating to the LBHI Mortgage Loans or omitted

     officer has examined the Memorandum (as defined in the Certificate Purchase
     Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1997, among the Purchaser, Lehman Brothers
     Inc. and First Union Capital Markets Corp.) and nothing has come to his
     attention that would lead him to believe that the Memorandum, as of the
     date thereof or as of the Closing Date, included or includes any untrue
     statement of a material fact relating to the LBHI Mortgage Loans or omitted
     or omits to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the

     (a) The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the
Underwriters, their respective officers and directors, and each person, if any,
who controls the Purchaser or any Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or Section
20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other
federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Prospectus Supplement,
the Memorandum, the Diskette or, insofar as they are required to be filed as
part of the Registration Statement pursuant to the No-Action Letters, any

made, not misleading; but only if and to the extent that (I) any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission with respect to the LBHI
Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors and/or the related Mortgaged Properties

the Prospectus Supplement and the Memorandum under the headings "Summary of the
Prospectus Supplement--The Mortgage Pool" or "Summary of the Memorandum--The
Mortgage Pool", as applicable, "Risk Factors--The Mortgage Loans" and
"Description of the Mortgage Pool" and (Y) on Annex A to the Prospectus
Supplement and, to the extent consistent therewith, on the Diskette, or (III)
any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission arises out of or is based upon a breach of the representations and
warranties of the Seller set forth in or made pursuant to Section 3; provided
that the indemnification provided by this Section 7 shall not apply to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission was made as a result of an error
in the manipulation of, or in any calculations based upon, or in any aggregation
of the information regarding the LBHI Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgagors
and/or the related Mortgaged Properties set forth in the Master Tape and Annex A
to the Prospectus Supplement, including without limitation the aggregation of
such information with comparable information relating to the First Union
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "Registration Statement" shall mean the
registration statement No. 33-97994 filed by the Purchaser on Form S-3,
including without limitation exhibits thereto and information incorporated
therein by reference; "Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus dated April 29,
1997, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated May 9, 1997 (the
"Prospectus Supplement"), relating to the Registered Certificates including all

Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to Kidder, Peabody Acceptance Corporation
I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and Kidder Structured Asset Corporation
and the no-action letter dated May 27, 1994 issued by the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities Association
(together, the "Kidder Letters"); "ABS Term Sheets" 


                                      -21-



<PAGE>


shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the no-action letter dated February
17, 1995 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the
Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter" and, together with the Kidder
letters, the "No-Action Letters"); "Diskette" shall mean the diskette attached
to each of the Prospectus and the Memorandum; and "Master Tape" shall mean the
compilation of information and data regarding the LBHI Mortgage Loans and the
First Union Mortgage Loans covered by the Agreed Upon Procedures Letter dated
May 16, 1997 and rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP (a "hard copy" of which
Master Tape was initiated on behalf of the Seller and the Purchaser).

     (b) Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification under
this Section 7 (an "indemnified party") of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the Seller (the "indemnifying party") under this Section 7, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel, approved by the Purchaser, representing all the
indemnified parties under Section 7(a) who are parties to such action), (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the 


                                      -22-



<PAGE>


indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if
clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall only be in respect of
the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

     (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to
an indemnified party under Section 7(a) hereof or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying
parties in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such parties.

     (d) The Purchaser and the Seller agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 7(c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the considerations referred to in Section 7(c) above. The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim, except where the indemnified party is required to bear such
expenses pursuant to this Section 7, which expenses the indemnifying party shall
pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses.
If any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to
not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party that
received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party
which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     (e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser, the
Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Purchaser or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and
payment for any of the Certificates.


                                      -23-



<PAGE>


     (f) Without limiting the generality or applicability of any other provision
of this Agreement, the Underwriters shall be third-party beneficiaries of the
provisions of this Section 7.

     SECTION 8. Costs. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser to
the extent that the Purchaser has paid) the Seller's pro rata portion of the
aggregate of the following amounts (the Seller's pro rata portion to be
determined according to the percentage that the LBHI Balance represents of the
Initial Pool Balance): (i) the costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise
reproducing) and delivering a preliminary and final Prospectus and Memorandum
relating to the Certificates; (ii) the initial fees, costs, and expenses of the
Trustee (including reasonable attorneys' fees); (iii) the filing fee charged by
the Securities and Exchange Commission for registration of the Certificates so
registered; (iv) the fees charged by the Rating Agencies to rate the
Certificates so rated; (v) the expense of recording any assignment of Mortgage
or assignment of Assignment of Leases as contemplated by Section 2 hereof; and
(vi) the cost of obtaining a "comfort letter" from a firm of certified public
accountants selected by the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to numerical
information in respect of the LBHI Mortgage Loans included in the Prospectus and
Memorandum. All other costs and expenses in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereunder shall be borne by the party incurring such expense.

     SECTION 9. Grant of a Security Interest. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser as provided in Section 2 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of
the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of
the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent
of the parties, the LBHI Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller,
then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed
a pledge of the LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Seller, and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) the conveyance provided for in Section 2
hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a
security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
LBHI Mortgage Loans, and all amounts payable to the holder of the LBHI Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account or, if established, the REO Account (each as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) whether in the 


                                      -24-



<PAGE>


form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the assignment to
the Trustee of the interest of the Purchaser as contemplated by Section 1 hereof
shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder;
(iv) the possession by the Trustee or any of its agents, including, without
limitation, the Custodian, of the Mortgage Notes, and such other items of
property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper
shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; and (v) notifications to persons (other than the
Trustee) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller and the
Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the LBHI Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be
deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 10. Notices. All notices, copies, requests, consents, demands and
other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and telecopied or
delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified
beneath its name on the signature pages hereof or, as to either party, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice hereunder to the
other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by
telecopier or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon
receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

     SECTION 11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement,
incorporated herein by reference or contained in the certificates of officers of
the Seller submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force
and effect and shall survive delivery of LBHI Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser (and by the Purchaser to the Trustee).

     SECTION 12. Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision,
representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement that is prohibited or
which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation, warranty or covenant of
this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable or 


                                      -25-



<PAGE>


is held to be void or unenforceable in any particular jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision
of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.

     SECTION 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

     SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES,
OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO
INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

     SECTION 15. Further Assurances. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to
execute and deliver such instruments and take such further actions as the other
party may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the
purposes and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 16. Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the
Seller under this Agreement shall not be assigned by the Seller without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser, except that any person into which the
Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, or any
person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Seller,
shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder. The Purchaser has the right to
assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, as may be
required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the
assignee shall, to the extent of such assignment, succeed to the rights and
obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the
Purchaser, the Underwriters (as intended third party beneficiaries hereof) and
their permitted successors and assigns, and the officers, directors and
controlling persons referred to in Section 7.

     SECTION 17. Amendments. No term or provision of this Agreement may be
waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed
by a duly authorized officer of the party, or third party beneficiary, against
whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

                        MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997 (the
"Agreement"), between First Union National Bank of North Carolina (the "Seller")
and First Union Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the "Purchaser").

     The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to purchase certain
multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") as provided
herein. The Purchaser intends to deposit them, together with the LBHI Mortgage
Loans (as defined below), into a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), the beneficial
ownership of which will be evidenced by multiple classes (each, a "Class") of
mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"). One or more "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC") elections will be made with
respect to the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund will be created and the Certificates
will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), dated as of May 1, 1997 (the "Cut-off Date"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, First Union National Bank of North Carolina as master
servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"), CRIIMI MAE Services Limited
Partnership as special servicer (in such capacity, the "Special Servicer") and
State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee (the "Trustee"). Concurrently
with the purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser
will also purchase multifamily and commercial mortgage loans pursuant to a
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997, between Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and the Purchaser (the "LBHI Agreement"). Such
mortgage loans (the "LBHI Mortgage Loans") will likewise be deposited into the
Trust Fund. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.

     (a) The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the
Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule") annexed
hereto as Exhibit A. The Mortgage Loan Schedule may be amended to reflect the
actual Mortgage Loans accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof.
(The Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "First Union Mortgage Loans.") The First Union Mortgage
Loans will have an aggregate principal balance of $521,259,642.31 (the "First
Union Balance") as of the close of business on the Cut-off Date, after giving
effect to any payments due on or before such date whether

<PAGE>


or not received. The First Union Balance and the LBHI Balance (as defined in the
LBHI Agreement) together equal an aggregate principal balance (the "Initial Pool
Balance") of $1,305,448,224. The purchase and sale of the First Union Mortgage
Loans shall take place on May 1, 1997 or such other date as shall be mutually
acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing Date"). The consideration for the
First Union Mortgage Loans shall consist of (A) a cash amount equal to 100% of
the aggregate principal balance of the First Union Mortgage Loans, plus (B)
interest accrued on each First Union Mortgage Loan at the related Net Mortgage
Rate, for the period from and including the Cut-off Date up to but not including
the Closing Date, which cash amount shall be paid to the Seller or its designee
by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

     The Purchaser will assign to the Trustee, all of its right, title and
interest in and to the First Union Mortgage Loans.

SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

     (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the
purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof, the Seller does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the First
Union Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date
other than the primary servicing rights. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may
be amended, shall conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) The Purchaser or its assignee shall be entitled to receive all
scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-off Date, and all
other recoveries of principal and interest collected after the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest on the First Union Mortgage
Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date). All scheduled payments of principal
and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but collected after the Cut-off
Date, and recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the
Cut-off Date (only in respect of principal and interest on the First Union
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), shall belong to, and be
promptly remitted to, the Seller.

     (c) The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has, on behalf of the
Purchaser, delivered to the Trustee, the documents and instruments specified
below with respect to each First Union Mortgage Loan (each a "Mortgage File").
All Mortgage Files so delivered will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all
times prior to the Closing Date. Each Mortgage File shall, except as otherwise
disclosed on Exhibit B hereto, contain the following documents:


                                      -2-

SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller.

     (a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the
Purchaser, as of the date hereof, that:

          (i) The Seller is a national banking association validly existing
     under the laws of the United States of America and possesses all requisite
     authority, power, licenses, permits and franchises to carry on its business
     as currently conducted by it and to execute, deliver and comply with its
     obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

          (ii) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery hereof by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
     obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with
     its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization,

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

     moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in
     general, as they may be applied in the context of the insolvency of a
     National Banking Association, and by general equity principles (regardless
     of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
     law), or by public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to
     the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
     of the provisions of this Agreement which purport to provide
     indemnification from liabilities under applicable securities laws.

          (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and
     the Seller's performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement
     will not (A) violate the Seller's Articles of Association or By-Laws, (B)
     violate any law or regulation or any administrative decree or order to
     which it is subject or (C) 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 contract, agreement or other
     instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound.

          (iv) The Seller is not in default with respect to any order or decree
     of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
     municipal or other governmental agency or body, which default might have
     consequences that would, in the Seller's reasonable and good faith
     judgment, materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or
     other) or operations of the Seller or its properties or have consequences
     that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.

          (v) The Seller is not a party to or bound by any agreement or
     instrument or subject to any articles of association, bylaws or any other
     corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, law
     or regulation that would, in the Seller's reasonable and good faith
     judgment, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to
     perform its obligations under this Agreement or that requires the consent
     of any third person to the execution of this Agreement or the performance
     by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement.

          (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
     governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
     performance by the Seller of or compliance by the Seller with this
     Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement and no bulk sale law applies to such transactions.

          (vii) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Seller's
     knowledge, threatened against the Seller that would, in the Seller's good
     faith and reasonable judgment, prohibit its entering into this Agreement or

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

     materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its
     obligations under this Agreement.

          (viii) Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and for
     federal income tax purposes, the Seller will report the transfer of the
     First Union Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale of the First Union
     Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for consideration consisting of
     [(A) a cash amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal balance of the
     First Union Mortgage Loans, plus (B) interest accrued on each First Union
     Mortgage Loan at the related Net Mortgage Rate, for the period from and
     including the Cut-off Date up to but not including the Closing Date]. The
     consideration received by the Seller upon the sale of the First Union
     Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser will constitute reasonably equivalent value
     and fair consideration for the First Union Mortgage Loans. The Seller will
     be solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will not be rendered
     insolvent by, the sale of the First Union Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser.
     The Seller is not selling the First Union Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser
     with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the
     Seller.

     (b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Purchaser and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders as of the
Closing Date, with respect to each First Union Mortgage Loan, that:

          (i) The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan set forth in the
     Mortgage Loan Schedule was true and correct in all material respects as of
     the Cut-Off Date;

          (ii) If such Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or an
     affiliate thereof, then, as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage
     Loan complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all
     requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of
     such Mortgage Loan; and, if such Mortgage Loan was not originated by the
     Seller or an affiliate thereof, then, to the best of the Seller's knowledge
     after having performed the type of due diligence customarily performed by
     prudent institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders, as of
     the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan complied in all material
     respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or
     local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan;

          (iii) The Seller owns the Mortgage Loan, has good and marketable title
     thereto, has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the
     Mortgage Loan and is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
     and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature
     encumbering such Mortgage Loan, and no provision of the

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

     Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan document relating to such Mortgage
     Loan prohibits or restricts the Seller's right to assign or transfer such
     Mortgage Loan;

          (iv) The proceeds of such Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and
     there is no requirement for future advances thereunder;

          (v) Each of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s), Assignment of
     Leases, if any, and other agreements executed in connection therewith is
     the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to
     any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency
     legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
     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
     enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and a legal
     opinion to such effect was obtained by the originator of such Mortgage Loan
     at the time of origination;

          (vi) As of the date of its origination, there was no valid offset,
     defense, counterclaim or right to rescission with respect to any of the
     related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) or other agreements executed in
     connection therewith, and, as of the Cut-off Date, to the best knowledge of
     the Seller, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right to
     rescission with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) or other
     agreements;

          (vii) The assignment of the related Mortgage and assignment of leases
     to the Trustee constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable
     assignment of such Mortgage in accordance with its terms, except as such
     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
     enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

          (viii) Each related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on
     the related Mortgaged Property, which Mortgaged Property is free and clear
     of all encumbrances and liens having priority over or on a parity with the
     first lien of such Mortgage, except for (a) liens for real estate taxes and
     special assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
     restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record
     as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of
     record being customarily acceptable to mortgage lending institutions

     Property made in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan and
     (c) other matters to

     which like properties are commonly subject and which do not, individually
     or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security
     intended to be provided by such Mortgage or materially affect the value or
     marketability of such Mortgaged Property, and such encumbrances do not
     materially interfere with the current use or operation of the related
     Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to timely pay in
     full the principal and interest on the related Mortgage Note; there exists
     with respect to such Mortgaged Property an assignment of leases and rents
     provision, whether as part of the related Mortgage or as a separate
     document or instrument, which establishes and creates a first priority
     security interest in and to leases and rents arising in respect of the
     related Mortgaged Property, subject only to encumbrances described in
     subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this subparagraph (viii);

          (ix) The Seller has filed and/or recorded in all appropriate public
     filing and recording offices all UCC-1 financing statements necessary to
     create and perfect a security interest in and lien on the items of personal
     property described therein (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted
     such UCC-1 financing statements for filing and/or recording and such UCC-1
     financing statements are in form and substance acceptable for filing and/or
     recording), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable
     law by recording or filing;

          (x) All taxes and governmental assessments that prior to the Cut-off
     Date became due and owing in respect of, and affect, each related Mortgaged
     Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to
     cover such payments has been established;

          (xi) As of the date of its origination, there was no proceeding
     pending for the total or partial condemnation of each related Mortgaged
     Property that materially affects the value thereof, and such Mortgaged
     Property was free of material damage; and, as of the Cut-off Date, the
     Seller has not received any notice of the commencement of any proceeding
     for the total or partial condemnation of any related Mortgaged Property
     that materially affects the value thereof, and such Mortgaged Property is
     free of material damage;

          (xii) Each related Mortgaged Property is covered by an ALTA (or its
     equivalent) lender's title insurance policy insuring that each related
     Mortgage is a valid first lien on such Mortgaged Property in the original
     principal amount of the Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, or
     there is a binding commitment from a title insurer qualified and licensed
     in the applicable jurisdiction, as required, to issue such policy; such
     title insurance policy, if issued, is in full force and effect, is freely
     assignable and will inure solely to the benefit of the Trustee as mortgagee
     of record,

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

     or any such commitment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
     insurer; no claims have been made under such title insurance policy, if
     issued; and to the best knowledge of the Seller, no prior mortgagee has
     done, by act or omission, anything which would materially impair the
     coverage of any such title insurance policy;

          (xiii) As of the date of its origination, all insurance required under
     each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were
     customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage
     lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the
     related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged
     Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils
     insurance policy, was in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at
     least equal to 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the
     improvements located on such Mortgaged Property, was in full force and
     effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; and, as of the
     Cut-off Date, to the best knowledge of the Seller, all insurance required
     under each Mortgage, which insurance covers such risks and is in such
     amounts as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily
     mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property
     comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which
     such Mortgaged Property is located, is in full force and effect with
     respect to each related Mortgaged Property; and no notice of termination or
     cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by
     the Seller; except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would
     be considered prudent by an institutional commercial mortgage lender with
     respect to a similar mortgage loan and which are set forth in the related
     Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss or taking,
     will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the
     related Mortgaged Property;

          (xiv) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent,
     (A) there is no material default, breach, violation or event of
     acceleration, and there is no other material default, breach, violation or
     event of acceleration, existing under the related Mortgage Note or each
     related Mortgage, and (B) to the best of the Seller's knowledge, after due
     inquiry, there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice
     and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents referred to in clause (A), and, to the knowledge of the Seller,
     there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
     expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute any other material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents referred to in clause (A); the Seller has not waived any material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under any of the
     documents

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

     referred to in clause (A), and the Seller has not waived any other material
     default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such documents;
     and under the terms of each Mortgage Loan, each related Mortgage Note, each
     related Mortgage and the other loan documents in the related Mortgage File,
     no person or party other than the Mortgagee may declare an event of default
     or accelerate the related indebtedness under such Mortgage Loan, Mortgage
     Note or Mortgage;

          (xv) As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loan is not, and in the
     prior 12 months (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has
     been originated within the past 12 months), has not been, 30 days or more
     past due in respect of any Scheduled Payment;

          (xvi) Except with respect to the Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit E
     hereto which accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days
     elapsed over a 360 day year, the Mortgage Loan accrues interest (payable
     monthly in arrears) at a fixed Mortgage Rate on the basis of a 360-day year
     consisting of twelve 30-day months;

          (xvii) Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without
     the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, each related
     Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation,
     except as expressly described in such Mortgage and other than another
     Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund;

          (xviii) Such Mortgage Loan is or constitutes part of a "qualified
     mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;

          (xix) One or more environmental site assessments were performed by an
     environmental consulting firm independent of the Seller and the Seller's
     affiliates with respect to each related Mortgaged Property during the
     18-month period preceding the Cut-off Date, and the Seller, having made no
     independent inquiry other than to review the report(s) prepared in
     connection with the assessment(s) referenced herein, has no knowledge of
     any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting
     such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in such report(s);

          (xx) The related Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) and Assignment of Leases,
     if any, contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the
     rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization
     against the related Mortgaged Property or properties of the benefits of the
     security, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial
     foreclosure, subject to applicable reorganization, insolvency, moratorium
     and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally as from time
     to time, in effect, and to general principles of equity

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

     (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law);

          (xxi) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, after due inquiry, the
     related Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
     insolvency or comparable proceeding;

          (xxii) Such Mortgage Loan is secured by either a mortgage on a fee
     simple interest or a leasehold estate in a commercial property or
     multifamily property owned by the related Mortgagor, including all of the
     related Mortgagor's interest in all improvements on the related Mortgaged
     Property;

          (xxiii) Such Mortgage Loan does not provide for negative amortization;

          (xxiv) Such Mortgage Loan is a whole loan, contains no equity
     participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not
     provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of
     participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property;

          (xxv) The related Mortgage contains provisions for the acceleration of
     the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if,
     without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, each related Mortgaged
     Property or any interest therein, is directly or indirectly encumbered in
     connection with subordinate financing; provided, however, the eight
     Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit F hereto, are encumbered by subordinated
     debt;

          (xxvi) Except with respect to (W) transfers of certain non-controlling
     interests in the Mortgagors as specified in the related Mortgage, (X) the
     Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit G hereto, which permit a transfer of the
     related Mortgaged Property to a person that satisfies certain criteria
     (including criteria related to bankruptcy remoteness and apartment
     management experience) specified in the related Mortgage, (Y) the Mortgage
     Loans listed in Exhibit H hereto, which permit a one-time transfer of the
     Mortgaged Property, subject to payment of an assumption fee and certain
     other conditions, and (Z) the Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit I hereto,
     which permit two separate transfers of the related Mortgaged Property,
     subject to payment of an assumption fee and certain other conditions, the
     related Mortgage contains either (A) provisions for the acceleration of the
     payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if each
     related Mortgaged Property, or any

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     interest therein, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold without the
     prior written consent of the Mortgagee, or (b) provisions for the
     acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such
     Mortgage Loan if each related Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein,
     is directly or indirectly transferred or sold without the related Mortgagor
     having satisfied certain conditions specified in the related Mortgage with
     respect to permitted transfers;

          (xxvii) The Mortgage Loan, together with any other Mortgage Loan made
     to the same Mortgagor or to an affiliate of such Mortgagor, does not
     represent more than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
     Mortgage Pool;

          (xxviii) Except as set forth in the related Mortgage File, the terms
     of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage(s) have not been waived,
     modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, cancelled, subordinated or
     rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security
     intended to be provided by such Mortgage;

          (xxix) Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf
     of the related originator during the 12 month period prior to the related
     origination date;

          (xxx) Except for the Mortgage Loans listed in Exhibit J hereto, the
     terms of the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage do not provide for the
     release of any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the
     lien of such Mortgage without payment in full of the Mortgage Loan;

          (xxxi) The related Mortgagor has covenanted in the Mortgage Loan
     documents to maintain the related Mortgaged Property in compliance with all
     applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants and restrictions
     affecting the construction, occupancy, use and operation of such Mortgaged
     Property, and the related originator performed the type of due diligence in
     connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan customarily performed
     by prudent institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage lenders with
     respect to the foregoing matters; the Seller has received no notice of any
     material violation of any applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules,
     covenants or restrictions affecting the construction, occupancy, use or
     operation of such Mortgaged Property; to the Seller's knowledge (based on
     surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination
     of such Mortgage Loan), as of the date of such origination, no improvement
     that was included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the
     related Mortgaged Property at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan
     lay outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property
     to an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the related
     Mortgagor's use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless
     affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in paragraph (xii)
     above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such
     Mortgaged Property to any material extent;

<PAGE>


          (xxxii) The related Mortgagor has covenanted in the Mortgage Loan
     documents to deliver each year to the Mortgagee an operating statement of
     each related Mortgaged Property covering the twelve-month period identified
     therein;

     significant asset other than the related Mortgaged Property and assets
     incidental to its ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Property;

          (xxxiv) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is secured in whole or
     in material part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a Ground
     Lease but not by the related fee interest;

               (A) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be
          duly recorded and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee
          thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of
          the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to t
          Closing Date;

               (B) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable
          to the Trustee without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if
          any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the
          Closing Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further
          assignable by the Trustee and its successors without a need to obtain
          the consent of such lessor;

               (C) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or
          terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee
          thereunder and that any such action without such consent is not
          binding on such Mortgagee, its successors or assigns;

               (D) Unless otherwise set forth in the Ground Lease, the Ground
          Lease does not permit any increase in the amount of rent payable by
          the ground lessee thereunder during the term of the Mortgage Loan;

               (E) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, at the Closing Date,
          such Ground Lease is in full force and effect and other than payments
          due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, (A) there is no material
          default, and (B) there is no event which, with the passage of time or
          with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
          constitute a material default under such Ground Lease;

               (F) Such Ground Lease or an estoppel or consent letter received
          by the Mortgagee from the lessor, requires

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

          the lessor thereunder to give notice of any default by the lessee to
          the Mortgagee; and such Ground Lease, or an estoppel or consent letter
          received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, further provides that no
          notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective
          against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been delivered to the
          Mortgagee in the manner described in such Ground Lease, estoppel or
          consent letter;

               (G) The ground lessee's interest in the Ground Lease is not
          subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority
          with, the related Mortgage, other than the related ground lessor's
          related fee interest and any exceptions stated in the related title
          insurance policy or opinion of title, which exceptions do not and will
          not materially and adversely interfere with (1) the ability of the
          related Mortgagor timely to pay in full the principal and interest on
          the related Mortgage Note, (2) the use of such Mortgaged Property for
          the use currently being made thereof, or (3) the value of the
          Mortgaged Property;

               (H) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity to cure any
          curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder
          may terminate such Ground Lease;

               (I) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any
          extension options set forth therein) that extends not less than 10
          years beyond the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;

               (J) Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent
          letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related
          Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or
          condemnation proceeds will be applied either to the repair or
          restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the
          Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and
          disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to
          the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
          together with any accrued interest thereon;

               (K) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on
          subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a
          prudent commercial mortgage lender;

               (L) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to
          enter into a new lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any
          reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy, and
          (except with respect to Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit L hereto) for
          any reason, upon the request of the lender; and

                                      -14-

               (M) The terms of the related Ground Lease have not been waived,
          modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, cancelled, subordinated or
          rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security
          intended to be provided by such Mortgage.

          has been undertaken against the Facility, its operator or the
          Mortgagor or against any officer, director or stockholder of such
          operator or the Mortgagor by any governmental agency during the last
          three calendar years, and there have been no violations over the past
          three years which have threatened the Facility's, the operator's or
          the Mortgagor's certification for participation in Medicare or
          Medicaid or the other third-party payors' programs.

          (xxxvi) No advance of funds has been made, directly or indirectly, by
     the Seller to the Mortgagor other than pursuant to the Mortgage Note and no
     funds have been received from any person other than such Mortgagor for or
     on account of payments due on the Mortgage Note;

          (xxxvii) To the Seller's actual knowledge, there are no pending

     enforceability of such Mortgage Loan;

     operator was in possession of all licenses, permits and authorizations then
     required for use of the related Mortgaged Property, which were valid and in
     full force and effect; and

          (xlvi) The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the
     Seller or any prior holder of the Mortgage Note have been in all respects
     legal, proper and prudent and have met customary industry standards.

     (c) If the Seller receives notice of a Document Defect or a Breach (the
"Defect/Breach Notice"), then the Seller shall within 90 days after its receipt
of the Defect/Breach Notice (i) cure such Document Defect or Breach, as the case
may be, in all material respects, which shall include payment of any Additional
Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith, or (ii) repurchase the affected First
Union Mortgage Loan (or the related Mortgaged Property) from the Trustee at a
price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such Document
Defect or Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90-day period and
the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such
Document Defect or Breach within such 90-day period, the Seller shall have an
additional 90 days to complete such cure; and provided, further, that with
respect to such additional 90-day period the Seller shall have delivered an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the reason such Document
Defect or Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90-day period
and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and
stating that the Seller anticipates that such breach will be cured within the
additional 90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a
commitment to issue a policy of lender's title insurance as described in Section
3(b)(xii) in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender's title
insurance shall not be considered a Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage
File if such actual policy of insurance is delivered to the Trustee or a
Custodian on its behalf not later than the 90th day following the Closing Date.

federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect

"Summary of the Memorandum--The Mortgage Pool", as applicable, "Risk
Factors--The Mortgage Loans" and "Description of the Mortgage Pool" and (Y) on
Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement and, to the extent consistent therewith, on
the Diskette, or (III) any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission arises out of or is based upon a breach of the
representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in or made pursuant to
Section 3; provided that the indemnification provided by this Section 7 shall
not apply to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made as a
result of an error in the manipulation of, or in any calculations based upon, or
in any aggregation of the information regarding the First Union Mortgage Loans,
the related Mortgagors and/or the related Mortgaged Properties set forth in the
Master Tape and Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement, including without

     (b) Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification under
this Section 7 (an "indemnified party") of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the Seller (the "indemnifying party") under this Section 7, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written
notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or them and/or other
indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel, approved by the Purchaser, representing all the
indemnified parties under Section 7(a) who are parties to such action), (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of
the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable,
such liability shall only be in respect of the counsel referred to in such
clause (i) or (iii).

     (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to
an indemnified party under Section 7(a) hereof or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities,

                                      -23-

<PAGE>



in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by such parties.

     (d) The Purchaser and the Seller agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 7(c) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the considerations referred to in Section 7(c) above. The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim, except where the indemnified party is required to bear such
expenses pursuant to this Section 7, which expenses the indemnifying party shall
pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses.
If any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to
not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party that
received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party
which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     (e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser, the
Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Purchaser or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and
payment for any of the Certificates.

     (f) Without limiting the generality or applicability of any other provision
of this Agreement, the Underwriters shall be third-party beneficiaries of the
provisions of this Section 7.

SECTION 8. Costs. The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser to the
extent that the Purchaser has paid) the Seller's pro rata portion of the
aggregate of the following amounts (the Seller's pro rata portion to be
determined according to the percentage that the First Union Balance represents
of the Initial Pool Balance): (i) the costs and expenses of printing (or
otherwise reproducing) and delivering a preliminary and final

                                      -24-

<PAGE>


Prospectus and Memorandum relating to the Certificates; (ii) the initial fees,
costs, and expenses of the Trustee (including reasonable attorneys' fees); (iii)
the filing fee charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission for
registration of the Certificates so registered; (iv) the fees charged by the
Rating Agencies to rate the Certificates so rated; (v) the expense of recording
any assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases as contemplated
by Section 2 hereof; and (vi) the cost of obtaining a "comfort letter" from a
firm of certified public accountants selected by the Purchaser and the Seller
with respect to numerical information in respect of the First Union Mortgage
Loans included in the Prospectus and Memorandum. All other costs and expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be borne by the
party incurring such expense.

SECTION 9. Grant of a Security Interest. It is the express intent of the parties
hereto that the conveyance of the First Union Mortgage Loans by the Seller to
the Purchaser as provided in Section 2 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of
the First Union Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a
pledge of the First Union Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, if, notwithstanding
the aforementioned intent of the parties, the First Union Mortgage Loans are
held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the First Union Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Seller, and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code; (ii) the conveyance provided for in Section 2 hereof shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in
all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the First Union Mortgage
Loans, and all amounts payable to the holder of the First Union Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or
other property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account or, if established, the REO Account (each as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (iii) the assignment to the Trustee of the
interest of the Purchaser as contemplated by Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to
be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession
by the Trustee or any of its agents, including, without limitation, the
Custodian, of the Mortgage Notes, and such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
(v) notifications to persons (other than the Trustee) holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller and the
Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the First Union Mortgage Loans, such security interest
would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 10. Notices. All notices, copies, requests, consents, demands and other
communications required hereunder shall be in writing and telecopied or
delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified
beneath its name on the signature pages hereof or, as to either party, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice hereunder to the
other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by
telecopier or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon
receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

SECTION 11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement,
incorporated herein by reference or contained in the certificates of officers of
the Seller submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force
and effect and shall survive delivery of the First Union Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser (and by the Purchaser to the Trustee).

SECTION 12. Severability of Provisions. Any part, provision, representation,
warranty or covenant of this Agreement that is prohibited or which is held to be
void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part,
provision, representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
particular jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or
unenforceable any provision hereof.

                                      -26-

SECTION 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS
AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY
TO THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 15. Further Assurances. The Seller and the Purchaser agree to execute
and deliver such instruments and take such further actions as the other party
may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes
and to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Seller
under this Agreement shall not be assigned by the Seller without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, except that any person into which the Seller
may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, or any person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be
the successor to the Seller hereunder. The Purchaser has the right to assign its
interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, as may be required to effect
the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the assignee shall, to
the extent of such assignment, succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder
of the Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller, the Purchaser, the
Underwriters (as intended third party beneficiaries hereof) and their permitted
successors and assigns, and the officers, directors and controlling persons
referred to in Section 7.

SECTION 17. Amendments. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or
modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by a duly
authorized officer of the party, or third party beneficiary, against whom such
waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
