On October 5, 1998, CRIIMI MAE Inc. ("CRIIMI MAE"), an affiliate of CMSLP and
then holder of the "Controlling Class" of Certificates filed a petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the
"Bankruptcy Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of

agency concerns, to action by CRIIMI MAE, as the holder of the Controlling Class
of the Certificates, to remove and replace CMSLP as Special Servicer under the

                         Independent Accountants' Report

The Board of Directors
First Union National Bank:

We have examined management's assertion about First Union National Bank's
Commercial Loan Servicing Division's (the Bank) compliance with the minimum
servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's
(MBA's) Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP), except
for minimum servicing standards V.4. and VI.1., which the MBA has interpreted as
being inapplicable to the servicing of commercial and multifamily loans, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1998 included in the accompanying management
assertion. Management is responsible for the Bank's compliance with those
minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about the Bank's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Bank's compliance with the
applicable minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on the Bank's compliance with the applicable minimum
servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Bank has complied in all
material respects with the aforementioned applicable minimum servicing standards
as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
