entire beneficial ownership interest in, the assets of a trust fund (the "Trust

multifamily mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), having as of their respective
cut-off dates (the "Cut-off Dates"), an aggregate principal balance of
$974,502,237 (the "Initial Pool Balance"), after taking into account all
payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans on or before such date, whether

Purchase Agreement, less the expenses payable by the Depositor in connection

(the "Prospectus Supplement"), to the prospectus dated November 5, 1998
(the "Basic Prospectus"), relating to the Certificates and the method of

with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company
on or prior to the Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of

copy" of which Pool Information was initialed on behalf of GMACCM and the
Company).
(b) The Registration Statement has become effective, and the
Registration Statement as of its effective date (the "Effective Date"), and
the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied in
all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the
1933 Act Regulations; and the Registration Statement, as of the Effective
Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading and the Prospectus and any
Diskette, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, did not, and as of
the Closing Date will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact
and did not and will not omit to state a 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 neither the
Company nor GMACCM makes any representations or warranties as to the
information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto relating to the
information identified by underlining or other highlighting as shown in
Exhibit C (the "Excluded Information"); and provided, further, that neither
the Company nor GMACCM makes any representations or warranties as to either
(i) any information in any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (each
as hereinafter defined) required to be
3
<PAGE>
provided by the Underwriters to the Company pursuant to Section 4.2, or
(ii) as to any information contained in or omitted from the portions of the
Prospectus identified by underlining or other highlighting as shown in
Exhibit D (the "Underwriter Information"); and provided, further, that
neither the Company nor, except as contemplated by Section 1.2(a), GMACCM,
makes any representations or warranties as to any information regarding the
Mortgage Loans or GMACCM contained in or omitted from the portions of the
Prospectus Supplement under the headings "Summary--The Mortgage Pool,"
"Risk Factors" and "Description of the Mortgage Pool" or contained in or
omitted from Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement or contained in or
omitted from the Diskette (the "Mortgage Loan Seller Information"), other
than that the Mortgage Loan Seller Information (exclusive of the
information set forth on pages A-7 through A-9, inclusive, of Annex A to
the Prospectus Supplement (the "Loan Detail") and the information on the
Diskette) that represents a restatement of the information on the Loan
Detail, accurately reflects the information contained in the Loan Detail;
and provided, further, that neither the Company nor GMACCM makes any
representations or warranties with respect to the Term Sheet Diskette or
the Diskette to the extent that the information set forth in the Diskette
is different than the information set forth in the Loan Detail or the
information set forth in the Term Sheet Diskette is different than the
information set forth in the Term Sheet Master Tape. Neither the Company
nor, except as contemplated by Section 1.2(a), GMACCM makes any
representations or warranties, however, as to the accuracy or completeness
of any information in the Loan Detail. The Company acknowledges that,
except for any Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets, the Underwriter
Information constitutes the only information furnished in writing by or on
behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the

securities laws liabilities.

Statement 105, has not and will not file an offering statement pursuant to
Section 352-e of the General Business Law of the State of New York with respect

Underwritten 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

and, together with the Kidder/PSA Letter, the "No-Action Letters").
(b) For purposes hereof, "Computational Materials" as used herein

right to require changes regarding the use of terminology and the right to
determine the types of information appearing therein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, subsections (c)(i) and (c)(ii) will be satisfied if all
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets referred to therein bear a
legend in a form previously approved in writing by the Company.
(d) Such Underwriter shall provide the Company with representative
forms of all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets prior to their
first use, to the extent such forms have not previously been approved by
the Company for use by the Underwriters. Such Underwriter shall provide to
the Company, for filing on Form 8-K as provided in Section 5.9, copies (in
such format as required by the Company) of all Computational Materials and
ABS Term Sheets that are required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to the No-Action Letters. Such Underwriter may provide copies of the
foregoing in a consolidated or aggregated form including all information
required to be filed. All Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets
described in this subsection (d) must be provided to the Company not later
than 10:00 a.m. New York time one business day before filing thereof is
required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such Underwriter agrees
that it will not provide to any investor or prospective investor in the
Certificates any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets on or after the
day on which Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets are required to be
provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) (other than copies
of Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets previously submitted to the
Company in accordance with this Section 4.2(d) for filing pursuant to
Section 5.9), unless such Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets are
preceded or accompanied by the delivery of a Prospectus to such investor or
prospective investor.
(e) All information included in the Computational Materials and ABS
Term Sheets shall be generated based on substantially the same methodology
and assumptions that are used to generate the information in the Prospectus
Supplement as set forth therein; provided, however, 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 delivered by such Underwriter that are
required to be filed were based on assumptions with respect to the Pool
that differ from the final Pool Information in any material respect or on
Certificate structuring terms that were revised in any material respect
prior to the printing of the Prospectus, such Underwriter shall prepare
revised Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets, as the case may be,
based on the final Pool Information and final structuring assumptions,
circulate such revised Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets to all
recipients of the preliminary versions
8
<PAGE>
thereof that indicated orally to such Underwriter they would purchase all
or any portion of the Certificates, and include such revised Computational
Materials and ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as revised") in the materials
delivered to the Company pursuant to subsection (d) above.
(f) 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, at the request of the applicable
Underwriter, the Company will file Computational Materials or ABS Term
Sheets that contain a material error or omission if clearly marked
"superseded by materials dated __________" and accompanied by corrected
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets that are marked "material
previously dated __________, as corrected." In the event that within the
period during which the Prospectus relating to the Certificates is required
to be delivered under the Act, any Computational Materials or ABS Term
Sheets delivered by an Underwriter are determined, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company or such Underwriter, to contain a material error or
omission, such Underwriter shall prepare a corrected version of such
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets, shall circulate such corrected
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets to all recipients of the prior
versions thereof that either indicated orally to such Underwriter they
would purchase all or any portion of the Certificates, or actually
purchased all or any portion thereof, and shall deliver copies of such
corrected Computational Materials and 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).
(g) If an Underwriter does not provide any Computational Materials or
ABS Term Sheets to the Company pursuant to subsection (d) above, such
Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of the Closing Date,
that it did not provide any prospective investors with any information in
written or electronic form in connection with the offering of the
Certificates that is required to be filed with the Commission in accordance
with the No-Action Letters, and such Underwriter shall provide the Company
with a certification to that effect on the Closing Date.
(h) 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 (d) above, or in the delivery of
the accountant's comfort letter in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.9,
the Company shall have the right to delay the release of the Prospectus to
investors or to the Underwriters, 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 5.9 to file the
Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets by the time specified therein.

(i) The Underwriter represents that it has in place, and covenants
that it shall maintain internal controls and procedures which it reasonably
believes to be sufficient to ensure full compliance with all applicable
legal requirements of the No-Action Letters with respect to the generation
and use of Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets in connection with
the offering of the Certificates.
(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of
this Agreement, neither the Preliminary Diskette nor the Diskette shall be
deemed to be Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets.
Each Underwriter represents and warrants that, if and to the extent it
provided any prospective investors with any Computational Materials or ABS Terms
Sheets prior to the date hereof in connection with the offering of the
Certificates, all of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (h) above
have been or, to the extent the relevant condition requires action to be taken
after the date hereof, will be, satisfied with respect thereto.
4.3 Each Underwriter further agrees that, on or prior to the sixth day
after the Closing Date, it shall provide the Company with a certificate,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, setting forth (i) in the
case of each class of Underwritten Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the
aggregate actual or notional, as the case may be, principal balance of such
class of Underwritten Certificates has been sold to the public as of such date,
the value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit E hereto, or, (b) if
10% or more of such class of Underwritten Certificates has been sold to the
public as of such date but no single price is paid for at least 10% of the
aggregate actual or notional, as the case may be, principal balance of such
class of Underwritten Certificates, then the weighted average price at which the
Underwritten Certificates of such class were sold expressed as a percentage of
the aggregate actual or notional, as the case may be, principal balance of such
class of Underwritten Certificates sold, or (c) the first single price at which
at least 10% of the aggregate actual or notional, as the case may be, principal
balance of such class of Underwritten Certificates was sold to the public, (ii)
the prepayment assumption used in pricing each class of Underwritten
Certificates, and (iii) such other 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 such Underwriter be
determined by it.
5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
5.1 Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus with respect to the Underwritten Certificates, the Company will
furnish the Underwriters with a copy of each such proposed amendment or
supplement.
5.2 The Company will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to
the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act by means
reasonably calculated to result in filing with the Commission pursuant to said
rule.
10
<PAGE>
5.3 If, during the period after the first date of the public offering of
the Underwritten Certificates in which a prospectus relating to the Underwritten
Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a
result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not
misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
comply with the Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company promptly will
prepare and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters, either amendments
or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so
amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the
Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus
will comply with law.
5.4 The Company will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, a copy of
the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery
of a prospectus by an underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many
copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and
any amendments and supplements thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably
request.
5.5 The Company agrees, so long as the Underwritten Certificates shall be
outstanding, or until such time as the several Underwriters shall cease to
maintain a secondary market in the Certificates, whichever first occurs, to
deliver to the Underwriters the annual statement as to compliance delivered to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.13 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the annual statement of a firm of independent public accountants furnished to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as
soon as such statements are furnished to the Company.
5.6 The Company will endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the
Underwritten Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualification in
effect so long as required for the initial 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 so qualified or
to take any action that would subject it to general or unlimited service of
process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
5.7 Except as herein provided, the several Underwriters shall be
responsible only for paying all costs and expenses incurred by them, including
the fees and disbursements of their counsel, in connection with the purchase and
sale of the Underwritten Certificates.
5.8 If, during the period after the Closing Date in which a prospectus
relating to the Underwritten Certificates is required to be delivered under the
Act, the Company receives notice that a stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or preventing the offer and sale of the
Underwritten Certificates is in effect, the Company will advise the Underwriters
of the issuance of such stop order.
11
<PAGE>
5.9 The Company shall file the Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets
(if any) provided to it by the Underwriters under Section 4.2(d) hereof with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K by 10:00 a.m. on the morning
the Prospectus is delivered to the Underwriters or, in the case of any
Collateral Term Sheet required to be filed prior to such date, by 10:00 a.m. on
the second business day following the first day on which such Collateral Term
Sheet has been sent to a prospective investor; provided, however, that prior to
such filing of the Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets (other than any
Collateral Term Sheets that are not based on the Pool Information) by the
Company, each Underwriter must comply with its obligations pursuant to Section
4.2 and the Company must receive a letter from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P.,
certified public accountants, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company,
GMACCM and their respective counsels, to the effect that such accountants have
performed certain specified procedures, all of which have been agreed to by the
Company, as a result of which they determined that all information that is
included in the Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets (if any) provided by
the Underwriters to the Company for filing on Form 8-K, as provided in Section
4.2 and this Section 5.9, is accurate except as to such matters that are not
deemed by the Company to be material. The Company shall file any corrected
Computational Materials described in Section 4.2(f) as soon as practicable
following receipt thereof. The Company also will file with the Commission within
fifteen days of the issuance of the Certificates a Current Report on Form 8-K
(for purposes of filing the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The Underwriters'
obligation to purchase the Underwritten Certificates shall be subject to the
following conditions:
6.1 No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement shall be in effect, and no proceedings for that purpose shall be
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission; and
the Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed or transmitted for filing, by
means reasonably calculated to result in a filing with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Act.
6.2 Since January 1, 1999, there shall have been no material adverse change
(not in the ordinary course of business) in the condition of the Company or
GMACCM.
6.3 The Company shall have delivered to the Underwriters a certificate,
dated the Closing Date, of the President, a Senior Vice President or a Vice
President of the Company to the effect that the signer of such certificate has
examined this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
various other closing documents, and that, to the best of his or her knowledge
after reasonable investigation:
(a) the representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are true and correct
in all material respects; and
(b) the Company has, in all material respects, complied with all the
agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or
satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date. (1)
12
<PAGE>
(c) GMACCM shall have delivered to the Underwriters a certificate,
dated the Closing Date, of the President, a Senior Vice President or a Vice
President of GMACCM to the effect that the signer of such certificate has
examined the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement and that,
to the best of his or her knowledge after reasonable investigation, the
representations and warranties of GMACCM contained in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and in this Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects.
6.4 The Underwriters shall have received the opinions of Mayer, Brown &
Platt, special counsel for the Company and GMACCM, dated the Closing Date and
substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2, the opinion of
Maria Corpora-Buck, Esq., general counsel for the Company and GMACCM, dated the
Closing Date and substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit B and the
opinion of Severson & Werson, special California counsel for the GMACCM, dated
the Closing Date that GMACCM is duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and has
the requisite power and authority, corporate or other, to own its properties and
conduct its business, as presently conducted by it.
6.5 The Underwriters shall have received from their counsel an opinion
dated the Closing Date in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Underwriters.
6.6 The Underwriters shall have received from PriceWaterhouseCoopers,
L.L.P., certified public accountants, (a) a letter dated the date hereof and
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and their
counsel, to the effect that they have performed certain specified procedures,
all of which have been agreed to by you, as a result of which they determined
that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Description of the
Mortgage Asset Pool," "Description of the Certificates" and "Yield and Maturity
Considerations" agrees with the records of the Company and the GMACCM excluding
any questions of legal interpretation and (b) the letter prepared pursuant to
Section 5.9 hereof.
6.7 The respective classes of Underwritten Certificates shall have been
rated as set forth on Schedule I.
6.8 The Underwriters shall have received, with respect to the Trustee, a
favorable opinion of counsel, dated the Closing Date, addressing the valid
existence of such party under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement by such party and, subject to standard limitations regarding laws
affecting creditors' rights and general principles of equity, the enforceability
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against such party. Such opinion may
express its reliance as to factual matters on representations and warranties
made by, and on certificates or other documents furnished by officers and/or
authorized representatives of, parties to this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and on certificates furnished by public officials. Such
opinion may assume the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
instruments and documents referred to therein by the parties thereto other than
the party on behalf of which such opinion is being rendered. Such
13
<PAGE>
opinion may be qualified as an opinion only on the laws of each state in which
the writer of the opinion is admitted to practice law and the federal law of the
United States.
6.9 The Underwriters shall have received from Mayer, Brown & Platt, special
counsel to the Company, and from Maria Corpora-Buck, Esq., general counsel to
the Company, reliance letters with respect to any opinions delivered to the
rating agencies identified on Schedule I hereto.
6.10 The Underwriters shall have received from counsel to each Mortgage
Loan Seller, the opinions substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit D-3A
and D-3B of the GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, Exhibit C-3 of each of
the Purchase Agreements.
6.11 The Company will furnish the Underwriters with conformed copies of the
above opinions, certificates, letters and documents as they reasonably request.
7. Indemnification and Contribution.
7.1 The Company and GMACCM, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement for the registration of the Underwritten Certificates as originally
filed or in any amendment thereof or other filing incorporated by reference
therein, or in the Prospectus or incorporated by reference therein (if used
within the period set forth in Section 5.3 hereof and as amended or supplemented
if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or
in the Diskette, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission based upon any information with respect to which the Underwriters
have agreed to indemnify the Company pursuant to Section 7.2; provided that the
Company and GMACCM will be liable for any such loss, claim, damage or liability
that arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made therein relating to the Mortgage
Loan Seller Information or Pool Information only if and to the extent that (i)
any such untrue statement is with respect to information regarding the Mortgage
Loans contained in the Loan Detail or, to the extent consistent with Annex A to
the Prospectus Supplement, the Diskette, or (ii) any such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is with respect to
information regarding any or all of the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any or all of
the Mortgage Loans contained in the Prospectus Supplement under the headings
"Summary--The Mortgage Pool," "Risk Factors" and/or "Description of the Mortgage
Pool" or on Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement (exclusive of the Loan Detail)
and such information represents a restatement of information contained in the
Loan Detail, or (iii) any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission is with respect to information
14
<PAGE>
regarding GMACCM or the Mortgage Loans contained in the Prospectus Supplement
under the headings "Summary--The Mortgage Pool," "Risk Factors" and/or
"Description of the Mortgage Pool" or on Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement
(exclusive of the Loan Detail), and such information does not represent a
restatement of information contained in the Loan Detail; and provided that none
of the Company, GMACCM or any Underwriter will be liable in any case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made therein relating to the Excluded Information, or any
information included in Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets that have
been superseded by revised Computational Materials or ABS Terms Sheets (any such
information, the "Excluded Pool Information") provided that such Underwriter has
complied with its obligation to circulate revised Computational Materials and
ABS Terms Sheets in accordance with Section 4.2(e) and has delivered them to the
Company no later than one (1) Business Day after delivery to investors;
provided, however, that each of the Company and GMACCM will be liable to the
extent any such loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by errors in the Pool
Information relating to the Mortgage Loans.
7.2 Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, GMACCM, their respective directors or officers and
any person who controls the Company or GMACCM within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as
the indemnity set forth in clause 7.1 above from the Company and GMACCM to the
Underwriters, but only with respect to (i) the Underwriter Information relating
to such Underwriter or supplied by such Underwriter to the Company for inclusion
in the Prospectus Supplement and (ii) the Computational Materials and ABS Term
Sheets delivered to investors in the Certificates by such Underwriter, except to
the extent of any errors in the Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets or
Term Sheet Diskettes that are caused by errors in the Pool Information or
information contained in the Term Sheet Master Tape; provided, however, that the
indemnification set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to the extent of
any errors in the Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets that are caused by
Excluded Pool Information provided that such Underwriter has complied with its
obligation to circulate revised Computational Materials and ABS Terms Sheets in
accordance with Section 4.2(e) and has delivered them to the Company no later
than one (1) Business Day after delivery to investors. In addition, the
Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, GMACCM, their
respective directors or officers and any person who controls the Company or
GMACCM within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) caused by,
resulting from, relating to, or based upon any legend regarding original issue
discount on any Underwritten Certificate resulting from incorrect information
provided by such Underwriter in the certificates described in Section 4.3
hereof.
7.3 In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall
be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to either Section 7.1 or 7.2, such person (the "indemnified party")
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
15
<PAGE>
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the reasonable 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 mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) 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 same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such
firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1, and by the Company or GMACCM, in the case
of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7.2. The indemnifying party may, at
its option, at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the
defense of any proceeding and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party in connection therewith, provided that the counsel so
designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection
with such representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding
the 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 agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. If the 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
which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the
other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.
7.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to
an indemnified party under Section 7.1 or 7.2 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 not only the relative benefits received by the Company
and GMACCM on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering
of the Underwritten Certificates but also the relative fault of the Company and
GMACCM on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other 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 Company and GMACCM on the one hand and of any of the
Underwriters on the other 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 the Company or GMACCM or by an Underwriter, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
16
<PAGE>
7.5 The Company, GMACCM and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the considerations referred to in Section 7.4 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 Section 7.4; 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 believes that it
will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that 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 which
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 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
7.6 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
and the representations and warranties of the Company and GMACCM in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf
of an Underwriter or any person controlling an Underwriter or by or on behalf of
the Company or GMACCM and their respective directors or officers or any person
controlling the Company or GMACCM and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Underwritten Certificates.
8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice
given to the Company and GMACCM, if the sale of the Underwritten Certificates
provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the
part of the Company or GMACCM to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or GMACCM shall
be unable to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. If the
Underwriters terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, the
Company or GMACCM will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with
the proposed purchase and sale of the Underwritten Certificates.
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and
pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be purchased by such
Underwriter hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining
Underwriters shall be obligated to take up and pay for the Underwritten
Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase;
provided, however, that in the event that the initial principal amount of
Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to
purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal balance of all of the
Underwritten Certificates set forth in Schedule I 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
17
<PAGE>
Underwritten Certificates, this Agreement will terminate without liability to
the nondefaulting Underwriters, the Company or GMACCM. In the event of a default
by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date for the
Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding
seven days, as the nondefaulting Underwriters shall determine in order that the
required changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus 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 to any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its
default hereunder.
10. Certain Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company, GMACCM, the Underwriters or the officers of any of the Company, GMACCM
and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement, will
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement
as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or made by or
on behalf of the Company or GMACCM or any of their respective officers,
directors or controlling persons, and will survive delivery of and payment for
the Underwritten Certificates.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective
only on receipt, and, if sent to any of the Underwriters, will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the each Representative at the

GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities,
Inc. (the "Company") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM") in
connection with the issuance by the Company of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain
mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Company as depositor, GMACCM as master servicer and special servicer,
LaSalle Bank National Association as trustee (the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO Bank
N.V., as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent").
Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Company from GMACCM,
pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and the Seller. Certain of the Mortgage Loans
were purchased by the Company from Column Financial, Inc. ("Column") pursuant
to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated May 25, 1999 (the "Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement")
between the Company and Column. Certain of the Mortgage Loans will be purchased
by the Company from German American Capital Corporation ("GACC"), pursuant to,
and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
dated May 25, 1999 (the "GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the
Company and GACC. Mortgage Company ("GSMC"), pursuant to, and for the
consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of
May 25, 1999 (the "GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Company
and GSMC.
The Company has sold the Class X, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the
underwriters (the "Underwriters") named in the Underwriting Agreement, dated May
25, 1999 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the Company, the Seller, and the
Underwriters. The Company sold the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M
and Class N Certificates to Commercial Asset Trading Inc. ("CATI") pursuant to
the Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated May 25, 1999 (the "Certificate
Purchase Agreement"), between the Company and CATI. The Company sold the Class
R-I, Class R-II
A-1-1
<PAGE>
and Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation. The
Certificate Purchase Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the GMACCM Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, the Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GACC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the
"Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Agreements.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement (No. 333-64963) on Form S-3 for the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (issuable in series), including the
Certificates, which registration statement has become effective, and a copy of
which, as amended to the date hereof, has heretofore been delivered to the
Underwriters. The Company has filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the "1933 Act
Regulations") a supplement dated May 25, 1999 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), to
the prospectus dated November 5, 1998 (the "Basic Prospectus"), relating to the
Certificates and the method of distribution thereof. Such registration statement
including exhibits thereto and any information incorporated therein by
reference, as amended at the date hereof, is hereinafter called the
"Registration Statement"; the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and
any information incorporated therein by reference (including, without
limitation, and only for purposes of clarification, any information filed with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K), together with any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company on or prior to
the Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of the Certificates,
are hereinafter called the "Prospectus."
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, we have examined the
Agreements and such other documents as we have deemed necessary. As to matters
of fact, we have examined and relied upon the accuracy of the representations of
parties to the Agreements contained therein and, where we have deemed
appropriate, separate additional representations or certifications of parties to
the Agreements, their respective officers and representatives or public
officials. In rendering this opinion letter, we have also assumed (i) the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of
all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, (ii) except as expressly
addressed below, the due authorization, execution and delivery, and the
necessary power with respect thereto, and the enforceability of such documents,
(iii) the conformity to the requirements of the Agreements, of the Mortgage
Notes, the Mortgages and other documents delivered or caused to be delivered to
the Trustee by or on behalf of the Company, (iv) the performance by all parties
to the Agreements in accordance with their covenants and agreements made
therein, and (v) that there is not any other agreement that materially
supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, we do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the State of New York, the corporate law of the
State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States, nor do we express
any opinion concerning the application of the "doing business" laws or the
securities laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal securities laws of
the United States and, in each case, as in existence on the date hereof. In
rendering the opinions set forth below, as to matters governed by the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or
A-1-2
<PAGE>
other laws that may be applicable to the Company and GMACCM, we have relied
without independent investigation on the opinion letter of Maria Corpora-Buck,
Esq., general counsel to the Company and GMACCM, dated the date hereof, a copy
of which is annexed hereto. In addition, in rendering the opinions set forth
below, as to matters governed by the laws of the State of California that may be
applicable to GMACCM, we have relied on the opinion letter of Severson & Werson,
special California counsel to GMACCM, dated the date hereof, a copy of which is
annexed hereto. To the extent that we have relied on the foregoing opinion
letters, the opinions set forth below are subject to the same assumptions,
qualifications, exceptions and other limitations set forth therein. We do not
express any opinion on any issue not expressly addressed below.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and, to the best of our knowledge, no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued
or threatened under Section 8(d) of the Act.
2. The Registration Statement, at the Effective Date, and the Prospectus,
as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, other than financial or statistical
information or Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets contained or
incorporated by reference therein, complied as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations
thereunder.
3. To our knowledge, there are no material contracts, indentures, or other
documents (not including Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets) of a
character required to be described or referred to under either the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement other than those described or referred to therein or filed or
incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.
4. The Certificates, when duly and validly executed, authenticated and
delivered in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and paid for
in and delivered in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and Certificate
Purchase Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
5. The statements contained in the Prospectus and the Private Placement
Memorandum under the headings "ERISA Considerations" and "Certain Federal Income
Tax Consequences", to the extent that they constitute matters of federal law or
legal conclusions with respect thereto, while not purporting to discuss all
possible consequences of investment in the Certificates, are correct in all
material respects with respect to those consequences or matters that are
discussed therein.
6. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the Trust Fund created by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
A-1-3
<PAGE>
7. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any federal or State of
New York court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation
by the Company or GMACCM of the transactions contemplated by the terms of the
Agreements, except (a) such as have been obtained under the Act and (b) such as
may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with
the purchase and the offer and sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates by the
Underwriters, as to which we express no opinion.
8. Neither the issuance and the sale of the Certificates pursuant to the
Agreements, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated
by, or the fulfillment by the Company or GMACCM of the terms of the Agreements,
will result in a breach of any term or provision of any federal or State of New
York statute or regulation or, to the best of our knowledge, conflict with,
result in a breach, violation or acceleration of or constitute a default under
any order of any federal or State of New York court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company
or GMACCM.
9. Each of the Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company and GMACCM and, upon due authorization, execution
and delivery by all other parties thereto, each of the Agreements will
constitute a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Company and GMACCM,
enforceable against the Company and GMACCM in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors, (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 any of the
Agreements which purport to provide indemnification with respect to securities
law violations.
10. As described in the Prospectus and the Private Placement Memorandum,
and assuming (i) the making of appropriate elections and (ii) compliance with
all the provisions of the Agreements, for federal income tax purposes, each of
REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III will qualify as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit (a "REMIC") within the meaning of Sections 860A through 860G
(the "REMIC Provisions") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") in
effect on the date hereof, and (i) the Class R-I Certificates will be the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC I, (ii) the Class R-II Certificates will
be the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC II, (iii) the REMIC III
Regular Certificates will be "regular interests" in REMIC III, and (iv) the
Class R-III Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC
III.
11. For purposes of City and State of New York income and corporation
franchise tax as in effect on the date hereof, each of REMIC I, REMIC II and
REMIC III will be classified as a REMIC and not a corporation, partnership or
trust, in conformity with the federal income tax treatment of each such REMIC.
Accordingly, each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III will be exempt from all
City and State of New York taxation imposed on its income, franchise or capital
stock, and its assets will not be included in the calculation of any franchise
tax liability.
In rendering the opinions expressed above we express no opinion regarding
any severability provision in the Agreements or regarding the legal, valid and
binding effect or the
A-1-4
<PAGE>
enforceability of any indemnification provision in the Agreements to the extent
that any such provisions may be deemed to cover matters under the federal
securities laws. The opinions expressed in paragraph 9 above are subject to the
further qualification that certain of the remedial provisions in the Agreements
may be limited or rendered ineffective or unenforceable in whole or in part
under the laws of the State of New York (but the inclusion of such provisions
does not make the remedies provided by the Agreements inadequate for the
practical realization of the rights and benefits purported to be provided
thereby, except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay).
Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is
indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring to the
actual knowledge of the Mayer, Brown & Platt attorneys who have represented you
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. Except as
expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation
to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our
knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such
representation has been undertaken by us.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon. Copies of this
opinion letter may not be furnished to any other person or entity, nor may any
portion of this opinion letter be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other
document.
Very truly yours,

Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
---------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities,
Inc. (the "Company") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM") in
connection with the issuance by the Company of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain
mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Company as depositor, GMACCM as master servicer and special servicer,
LaSalle Bank National Association as trustee (the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO Bank
N.V., as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent").
Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Company from GMACCM,
pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and the Seller. Certain of the Mortgage Loans
were purchased by the Company from Column Financial, Inc. ("Column") pursuant
to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated May 25, 1999 (the "Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement")
between the Company and Column. Certain of the Mortgage Loans will be purchased
by the Company from German American Capital Corporation ("GACC"), pursuant to,
and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
dated May 25, 1999 (the "GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the
Company and GACC. Mortgage Company ("GSMC"), pursuant to, and for the
consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of
May 25, 1999 (the "GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Company
and GSMC.
The Company has sold the Class X, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the
underwriters (the "Underwriters") named in the Underwriting Agreement, dated May
25, 1999 (the AUnderwriting Agreement"), among the Company, the Seller, and the
Underwriters. The Company sold the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M
and Class N Certificates to Commercial Asset Trading Inc. pursuant to the
Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated May 25, 1999 (the "Certificate Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and GMACCM. The Company sold the Class R-I,
Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation. The Certificate
A-2-1
<PAGE>
Purchase Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the GMACCM Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GACC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the
"Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Agreements.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement (No. 333-64963) on Form S-3 for the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (issuable in series), including the
Certificates, which registration statement has become effective, and a copy of
which, as amended to the date hereof, has heretofore been delivered to the
Underwriters. The Company has filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the "1933 Act
Regulations") a supplement dated May 25, 1999 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), to
the prospectus dated November 5, 1998 (the "Basic Prospectus"), relating to the
Certificates and the method of distribution thereof. Such registration statement
(no. 333-64963) including exhibits thereto and any information incorporated
therein by reference, as amended at the date hereof, is hereinafter called the
"Registration Statement"; the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and
any information incorporated therein by reference (including, without
limitation, and only for purposes of clarification, any information filed with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K), together with any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto authorized by the Company on or prior to
the Closing Date for use in connection with the offering of the Certificates,
are hereinafter called the "Prospectus."
Because of the wholly or partially non-legal character of many
determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the Private Placement Memorandum, we are not advising herein with
respect to and do not assume any responsibility herein for the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or the Private Placement Memorandum and make no
representation herein that we have otherwise independently verified the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. In particular and without
limiting the foregoing, we express no advice as to any such accounting,
financial or statistical information contained in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus or the Private Placement Memorandum, or as to any Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets, and we have not examined any accounting, financial
or statistical records from which the information and statements included
therein were derived. In addition, with limited exception, we have not reviewed
any of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other documents in the Mortgage Files or
made any inquiry of any originator of any Mortgage Loan other than GMACCM.
We do not act as general counsel to the Company or GMACCM. In our
representation of the Company and GMACCM in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements, however, we met in conferences and participated
in telephone conversations with representatives of parties to the Agreements,
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and their respective counsel in addition to us.
During those conferences and telephone conversations, the contents of the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Private Placement Memorandum and
related matters were discussed. With respect to the accuracy, completeness and
fairness of the
A-2-2
<PAGE>
information relating to GMACCM and the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent contained in
the Prospectus and the Private Placement Memorandum under the captions
"Description of the Mortgage Pool--The Seller," "Servicing of the Mortgage
Loans--The Servicer" and "Description of the Certificates--The Trustee and
Fiscal Agent", we have relied exclusively on those conferences and telephone
conversations and that no information inconsistent therewith has come to our
attention. In addition, we have examined the Agreements and reviewed various
opinions rendered and certificates delivered in connection with the issuance of
the Certificates. We have not otherwise undertaken any procedures that were
intended or likely to elicit information concerning the accuracy, completeness
or fairness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
or the Private Placement Memorandum. We have assumed that there is not and will
not be any other agreement that materially supplements or otherwise modifies the
agreements expressed in the Agreements.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and further based upon our
understanding of applicable law and the experience we have gained in our
practice thereunder, we hereby advise you that no information has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement as of
the date it became effective, contained or contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Prospectus or the
Private Placement Memorandum as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is
indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring to the
actual knowledge of the Mayer, Brown & Platt attorneys who have represented the
Company and GMACCM in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence or such facts
and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from
the fact that such representation has been undertaken by us.

GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am General Counsel to GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the
"Company") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM"). In that
capacity, I am familiar with the issuance of certain Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain
mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing

among the Company as depositor, GMACCM as master servicer and special servicer
and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO

Purchase Agreement, the GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Agreements".
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the
Agreements.
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I have examined the
Agreements and such other records and other documents as I have deemed
necessary. I have further assumed that there is not and will not be any other
agreement that materially supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements
expressed in the Agreements. As to matters of fact, I have examined and relied
upon representations of parties contained in the Agreements and, where I have
deemed appropriate, representations and certifications of officers of the
Company, GMACCM, the Trustee, other transaction participants or public
officials. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as
originals, the genuineness of all signatures other than officers of the Company
and GMACCM, the legal capacity of natural persons other than officers of the
Company and GMACCM and the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to me as copies. I have assumed that all parties, except for the
Company and GMACCM, had the corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform all obligations thereunder. As to such parties, I also have assumed the
due authorization by all requisite corporate action, the due execution and
delivery and the enforceability of such documents. I have further assumed the
conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the requirements of
the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, I do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United
States, and I do not express any opinion concerning the application of the
"doing business" laws or the securities laws of any jurisdiction other than the
federal securities laws of the United States. To the extent that any of the
matters upon which I am opining herein are governed by laws ("Other Laws") other
than the laws identified in the preceding sentence, I have assumed with your
permission and without independent verification or investigation as to the
reasonableness of such assumption, that such Other Laws and judicial
interpretation thereof do not vary in any respect material to this opinion from
the corresponding laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and judicial
interpretations thereof. I do not express any opinion on any issue not expressly
addressed below.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
the requisite power and authority, corporate or other, to own its properties and
conduct its business, as presently conducted by it, and to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Agreements. GMACCM has the requisite power and
authority, corporate or other, to enter into and perform its obligations under
the Agreements. Each of the Agreements has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company and GMACCM and, upon due authorization,
execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, will constitute the valid,
legal and binding agreements of GMACCM and the Company, enforceable against
GMACCM and the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors, (ii) general principles of equity,
B-2
<PAGE>
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
the Agreements which purport to provide indemnification with respect to
securities law violations. No consent, approval, authorization or order of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Delaware, State of California or federal
court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by GMACCM
or the Company of the transactions contemplated by the terms of the Agreements,
except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which previously
have been obtained. Neither the sale, issuance and delivery of the Certificates
as provided in the Agreements nor the consummation of any other of the
transactions contemplated by, or the fulfillment by the Company or GMACCM of any
other of the terms of, the Agreements, will result in a breach of any term or
provision of the charter or bylaws of GMACCM or the Company or any Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, State of Delaware, or federal statute or regulation or conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of or constitute a default
under the terms of any indenture or other material agreement or instrument to
which GMACCM or the Company is a party or by which it is bound or any order or
regulation of any Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or federal court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over GMACCM
or the Company. This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each
addressee hereof, and no other person or entity, except Mayer, Brown & Platt, is
entitled to rely hereon without my prior written consent. Copies of this opinion
letter may not be furnished to any other person or entity, nor may any portion
of this opinion letter be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other
document without my prior written consent.
Very truly yours,

$974,502,236
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 1999-C2
<PAGE>
This Pooling and Servicing Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of June 1, 1999, among GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES, INC.,
as Depositor, GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as Master Servicer, GMAC
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as Special Servicer, and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, as Trustee and ABN AMRO BANK N.V., as Fiscal Agent.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in
multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund to be created hereunder, the primary assets
of which will be the Mortgage Loans. The aggregate of the initial Cut-off Date
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans is approximately $974,502,236.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of that portion of interest
payments thereon that constitute Excess Interest) and certain other related
assets subject to this Agreement as 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 under federal income tax law. With respect
to each Mortgage Loan, there shall be a corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest.
The designation for each such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the loan number
for the related Mortgage Loan set forth on the schedule of Mortgage Loans
attached hereto as Schedule I. The REMIC I Remittance Rate (as defined herein)
and the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I Regular
Interest shall be based on the Net Mortgage Rate as of the Cut-off Date and the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance, respectively, for the related Mortgage Loan.
Determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each such REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be the first Distribution Date that follows the Stated
Maturity Date for the related Mortgage Loan. None of the REMIC I Regular
Interests will be certificated.
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 irrevocably sets forth the designation, REMIC II
Remittance Rate and the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance for each of the
REMIC II Regular Interests. Determined solely for purposes of satisfying
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity
date" for each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be the first Distribution Date
that is at least two years after the end of the remaining amortization schedule
of the Mortgage Loan that has, as of the Closing Date, the longest remaining
amortization schedule, irrespective of its scheduled maturity. None of the REMIC
II Regular Interests will be certificated.

income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as
"REMIC III". The Class R-III Certificates will represent 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, the Pass-Through Rate and initial Class Principal Balance for each
of the Classes of REMIC III Regular Certificates. Determined solely for purposes
of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest
possible maturity date" for each Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates shall
be the first Distribution Date that is at least two years after the end of the
remaining amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan that has, as of the Closing
Date, the longest remaining amortization schedule, irrespective of its scheduled
maturity.

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01 Establishment of Trust; Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby establish a trust, appoint the Trustee to serve as trustee of such
trust and assign to the Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the
Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including
any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in, to and under
(i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) Sections
2, 4(a), 6 and 13 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Sections 2, 4 and
6 of each Supplemental Agreement 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 (other than
payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-off Date). The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related
rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and, notwithstanding Section
11.07, is intended by the parties to constitute a sale.
(b) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants that
it has directed, each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to
and deposited with, the Trustee or the Custodian (with a copy to the Master
Servicer), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each of such
Mortgage Loan Seller's Mortgage Loans so assigned. If the related Mortgage Loan
Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered as to any Mortgage Loan, the
original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver a copy or
duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying
that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed. If the related Mortgage
Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan,
any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (2), (4), (11)
and (12) of the definition of "Mortgage File", with evidence of recording or
filing, as the case may be, thereon, because of a delay caused by the public
recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered
for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded document has been
lost or returned from the recording or filing office and subsequently lost, as
the case may be, the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to
such missing document or instrument, and such missing document or instrument
shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, provided that a
photocopy of such missing document or instrument (certified by the related
Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof
submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be) is delivered to the
Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby on or before the Closing Date and
either the original of such missing document or instrument, or a copy thereof,
with evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, is delivered
to or at the direction of the Trustee within 180 days of the Closing Date (or
within such longer period after the Closing Date as the Trustee may consent to,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the related Mortgage
Loan Seller has provided
59
<PAGE>
the Trustee with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, or
has certified to the Trustee as to the occurrence of such recording or filing,
as the case may be, and is, as certified to the Trustee no less often than
quarterly, in good faith attempting to obtain from the appropriate county
recorder's or filing office such original or copy). If the related Mortgage Loan
Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the
original or a copy of the related lender's title insurance policy referred to in
clause (9) of the definition of "Mortgage File" solely because such policy has
not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b) shall be
deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be
deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File, provided that the
related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian
appointed thereby, on or before the Closing Date, a commitment for title
insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan, and the related
Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or such Custodian, promptly
following the receipt thereof, the original related lender's title insurance
policy (or a copy thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if there exists with respect to any group of related
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document referred
to in the definition of "Mortgage File" covering all the Mortgage Loans in such
group, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File
for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall be deemed an inclusion of such
original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee
nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by the Mortgage
Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b).
If any of the endorsements referred to in clause (1) of the definition of
"Mortgage File", or any of the assignments referred to in clauses (3), (5) and
(7) of the definition of "Mortgage File", are delivered to the Trustee in blank,
the Trustee shall be responsible for completing the related endorsement or
assignment in the name of the Trustee (in such capacity).
(c) Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of
this subsection (c), the Trustee shall, as to each Mortgage Loan, at the expense
of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, promptly (and in any event within 45 days
of the Closing Date) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case
may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC
Financing Statements, as appropriate, each assignment referred to in clauses (3)
and (5) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and each UCC-2 and UCC-3 referred
to in clause (11)(B) of the definition of "Mortgage File"; provided, however,
that each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right to direct the Trustee, in
writing, to cause the aforementioned recording and filing requirements to be
completed (within the specified time period) by a Person other than the Trustee,
in which case the Trustee shall (i) promptly deliver the referenced documents to
such Person for recording and filing and (ii) notify the related Mortgage Loan
Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which the related assignment or
file copy of any UCC-2 and UCC-3 has not been received within the time period
specified in Section 2.02(b). Each such assignment shall reflect that it should
be returned by the public recording office to the Trustee or its designee
following recording, and each such UCC-2 and UCC-3 shall reflect that the file
copy thereof should be returned to the Trustee or its designee following filing.
Promptly following receipt, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the respective
Mortgage Loan Seller, deliver a copy of any such document or instrument to the
Master Servicer.
60
<PAGE>
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
related Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related 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 Depositor's or any Mortgage Loan
Seller's possession relating to the Mortgage Loans 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 on or before the Closing Date and shall be held
by the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer retained thereby) on behalf of the
Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If the Sub-Servicer
shall hold any original documents and records delivered to it pursuant to this
clause (d) then the Sub-Servicer shall deliver copies thereof to the Master
Servicer.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and warrants that
it has delivered, to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, on or before the
Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or
modification, on the Closing Date.
SECTION 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the

2.02, and further subject to any exceptions noted on any exception report
prepared by the Trustee or such Custodian and attached hereto as Schedule II, of
the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (9) and (12) of the definition
of "Mortgage File", of a fully executed original counterpart of each Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement and of all other assets included in REMIC I and
delivered to it, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and
declares that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents
and the other documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan
Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold such
other assets included in REMIC I, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of
all present and future Certificateholders.
(b) Within 60 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee or a Custodian on its
behalf shall review each of the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to
be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and,
promptly following such review, the Trustee shall certify in writing to each of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan
Seller that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in any exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (9) and
(12) of the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession or the related
Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in
accordance with Section 2.01(b) and (ii) all documents delivered or caused to be
delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the
61
<PAGE>
related Mortgage File have been reviewed by it or by a Custodian on its behalf
and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review each of the
Mortgage Loan documents received thereby subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on
or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall certify in
writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class 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) and
except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such
certification), (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (9) and (12) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession or the related Mortgage
Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with
Section 2.01(b), (ii) it or a Custodian on its behalf has received either a
recorded original of each of the assignments specified in clauses (3) and,
insofar as an unrecorded original thereof had been delivered or caused to be
delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, (5) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" or a copy of such recorded original certified by the applicable
public recording office to be true and complete and (iii) all Mortgage Loan
documents received by it or any Custodian have been reviewed by it or by such
Custodian on its behalf and appear regular on their face and relate to such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) It is acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under
any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified
in clauses (4) - (8), (10), (11), (13), (14) and (15) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, any
Mortgage Loan Seller or any other Person or (ii) to inspect, review or examine
any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the
Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable, in recordable form or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
(e) If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time
thereafter, the Trustee or any Custodian finds (or, if at any time, any other
party hereto finds) any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to have not been properly executed or, subject to Section 2.01(b), to have
not been delivered, to contain information that does not conform in any material
respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, or to be defective on its face (each, a "Defect" in the related
Mortgage File) the Trustee (or such other party) shall promptly so notify each
of the other parties hereto and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If and when
notified of any error in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Depositor shall
promptly correct such error and distribute a new, corrected Mortgage Loan
Schedule to each of the other parties hereto, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
such a corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule so identified, such new, corrected
Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be deemed to amend and replace the existing
Mortgage Loan Schedule for all purposes.

SECTION 2.03 Mortgage Loan Sellers' Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for
Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations
and Warranties.
(a) If the Trustee discovers or receives notice of a Defect in any Mortgage
File or a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in or made pursuant
to Section 4(a) of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2(a) of
either Supplemental Agreement (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach, as the case
may be, materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders therein, or if the Trustee discovers or
receives notice of any event that would give rise to the repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6(b) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Section 4(b) of either Supplemental Agreement, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice of such Defect, Breach or event, as the case may be, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies and
the related Mortgage Loan Seller (and GMACCM, in the case of such a Defect,
Breach or event under a Supplemental Agreement) and shall request that the
related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, in the case of such a Defect, Breach or
event under the Supplemental Agreement), within the time period provided for in
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Supplemental Agreement, as
applicable, cure such Defect, Breach or event, as the case may be, in all
material respects or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Purchase Price in conformity with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
or Supplemental Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that in lieu of
effecting any such repurchase, a Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, in the case of
such a Defect, Breach or event under the Supplemental Agreement) will be
permitted until the second anniversary of the Closing Date to deliver a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to pay a cash amount equal to the
applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to the terms and conditions of
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Supplemental Agreement, as
applicable, and this Agreement; provided, further, that if such Defect or Breach
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" under
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, such Defect or Breach shall be cured or the
related Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or replaced with a Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan within 90 days of discovery.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Trustee shall
direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, in the case of such a
Defect, Breach or event under the Supplemental Agreement) to deliver to the
Trustee for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans (with a copy to
the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File(s) with the related Mortgage
Note(s) endorsed as required by clause (1) of the definition of "Mortgage File".
No substitution may be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date
for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund
and will be retained by Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to
the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, in the case of such a Defect,
Breach or event under the Supplemental Agreement) on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on the related Deleted
Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or
GMACCM, in the case of such a Defect, Breach or event under the
63
<PAGE>
Supplemental Agreement) shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
In any month in which the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM under a
Supplemental Agreement) substitutes one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine
the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Trustee shall direct the
related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, as applicable) to deposit cash equal to
such amount into the Distribution Account concurrently with the delivery of the
Mortgage File(s) for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan(s), without any
reimbursement thereof. The Trustee shall also direct the related Mortgage Loan
Seller (or GMACCM, as applicable) to give written notice to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer of such deposit, accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to
the calculation of the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Trustee
shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, as applicable) to
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of each Deleted Mortgage
Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan(s); and, upon such amendment, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the
delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto.
Upon any such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall each tender promptly to the related Mortgage Loan Seller
(or GMACCM, as applicable), upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the related
Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, as applicable), 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 related Mortgage File that was
endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case
may be, to the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, as applicable) in the
same manner as provided in Section 2 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Additionally, in connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall release
or cause to be released to the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM, as
applicable) any Reserve Funds or Escrow Payments with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Trustee
shall designate the Certificate Account as the account to which funds in the
amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired.
(c) Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Section 4
of each Supplemental Agreement provides the sole remedy available to the
Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders,
respecting any Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 4(a) of such
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2(a) of such Supplemental Agreement
or any of the circumstances described in Section 6(b) of such Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or in Section 4(b) of such Supplemental Agreement.
64
<PAGE>
(d) The Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, enforce
the obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the related
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the obligations of GMACCM under Section 4
of each Supplemental Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in such form, to such
extent and at such time as the Trustee would require were it, in its individual
capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan(s). The Trustee shall be
reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement, together with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate: first, from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys' fees against the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or GMACCM,
in the case of enforcement under a Supplemental Agreement); second, pursuant to
Section 3.05(a)(ix) out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such
expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of
such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses
first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(x) out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Certificate Account.

Agreement and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent
consistent with the foregoing, further as follows: (i) with the same care, skill
and diligence as is normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing and REO
property management activities on behalf of third parties or on behalf of
itself, whichever is higher, with respect to mortgage loans and REO properties
that are comparable to those for which it is responsible hereunder; (ii) with a
view to the timely collection of all scheduled payments of principal and
interest under the Mortgage Loans or, if a Mortgage Loan comes into and
continues in default and if, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the
Special Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of
the delinquent payments, the maximization of the recovery on such Mortgage Loan
to the Certificateholders (as a collective whole) on a present value basis (the
relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to
Certificateholders to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate); and (iii)
without regard to (A) any relationship that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, or any Affiliate thereof may have with the related
Mortgagor, (B) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by any Affiliate thereof, (C) the
Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances, (D) the Special Servicer's
obligation to make (or to direct the Master Servicer to make) Servicing
Advances, (E) the right of the Master Servicer (or any Affiliate thereof) or the
Special Servicer (or any Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, to receive
reimbursement of costs, or the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it,
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction and (F) the obligation
of GMACCM, as a Mortgage Loan Seller, to repurchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 6(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 4(b) of either
Supplemental Agreement (the conditions set forth in the immediately foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the "Servicing Standard"). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, in its own name, in connection with its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to exercise
efforts consistent with the foregoing standard and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments
necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security
document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and
related collateral; subject to Section 3.20, any and all modifications, waivers,
amendments or consents to or with respect to any documents contained in the
related Mortgage File; and any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to
67

the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. Each of the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer is also authorized to approve a request by a Mortgagor
under a Mortgage Loan that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to
this Agreement, for an easement, consent to alteration or demolition, and for
other similar matters, provided that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, determines, exercising its good faith business
judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such approval will
not affect the security for, or the timely and full collectability of, the
related Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall furnish, or
cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be held liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect
to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a), the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to
Section 3.22, through Sub-Servicers, 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.
(c) The relationship of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the
Trustee and, unless the same Person acts in both capacities, to each other under
this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent. Unless the same
Person acts in both capacities, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility
for the performance by the Special Servicer of its duties under this Agreement,
and the Special Servicer shall have no responsibility for the performance of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
(d) Subject to Section 3.01(a), each of the Master Servicer and Special
Servicer shall service and administer each Mortgage Loan that is a
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan as a single Mortgage Loan as and when it
deems such treatment necessary and appropriate.
SECTION 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms
and conditions of the Mortgage Loans, follow such collection procedures as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loans.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion waive
any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan
(other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer may in
its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent
payment on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
68
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts and Reserve Accounts.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all Escrow Payments shall be
deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and
interest earned thereon) from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i)
effect payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground
rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged
Property; (ii) reimburse the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, in that order, as applicable, for any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances made thereby to cover any of the items described in the
immediately preceding clause (i); (iii) refund to the related Mortgagor any sums
as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to the related Mortgagor on balances in the Servicing Account
(or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor, to pay such
interest to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable); (v)
disburse Insurance Proceeds if required to be applied to the repair or
restoration of the related Mortgaged Property; or (vi) clear and terminate the
Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, to the extent required by law or
the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. The Servicing Accounts shall not be
considered part of the segregated pool of assets constituting REMIC I, REMIC II,
REMIC III or the Grantor Trust.
(b) Each of the Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall (i) maintain accurate records with
respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate
taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon
and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect
thereof, and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills
for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) for Mortgage Loans
which require the related Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of such items and
shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination
date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of
the related Mortgage Loan. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan does not require a
Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer
(or the Special Servicer with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans)
shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the
related Mortgagor to comply with the requirements of the related Mortgage for
payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer (at the
direction of the Special Servicer in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans) shall advance with respect to each related Mortgaged Property all such
funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real
estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may
69
<PAGE>
become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on
Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments
collected from the related Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when due
and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and
provided that the particular 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. No costs incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes,
assessments, ground rents (if applicable) and other similar items on or in
respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including,
without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be
added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
(d) The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, establish and maintain, as applicable, one or
more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into which all Reserve Funds, if any,
shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made
to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in connection with, the
related repairs, environmental remediation, replacements and/or capital
improvements at the related Mortgaged Property if such repairs, environmental
remediation, replacements 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. Subject to the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, all Reserve Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. As
part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Reserve
Accounts maintained thereby, to the extent required by law or the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan. The Reserve Accounts shall not be considered part of the
segregated pool of assets comprising REMIC I, REMIC II, REMIC III or the Grantor
Trust.
SECTION 3.04 Certificate Account, Distribution Account and Interest
Reserve Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account
in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments
and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off
Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due
and payable on or before the Cut-off Date), and payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a
period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments,
on the Mortgage Loans;
70
<PAGE>
(ii) all payments on account of interest (including, without limitation,
Default Interest and Excess Interest) on the Mortgage Loans, late payment
charges and Prepayment Premiums;
(iii) any amounts received from the Special Servicer which are required to
be transferred from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) and amounts of
interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts relating to the
Trust Fund held in any Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account, if any, and
only to the extent not required to be paid to the applicable Mortgagor under the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or applicable law;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (other than Excess Liquidation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds that are received in connection with the Master Servicer's
or the Depositor's purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in
the Trust Fund and that are to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 9.01);
(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 relating to the Trust Fund held in the Certificate Account;
(vi) that portion of each Delinquency Advance that represents (without
duplication) the Master Servicing Fee and, if applicable, the Special Servicing
Fee; and
(vii) 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.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow
Payments, Reserve Funds, charges for beneficiary statements or demands,
assumption fees, amounts collected for mortgagor checks returned for
insufficient funds, ancillary fees and any other amounts that the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to as additional servicing
compensation pursuant to Section 3.11 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
Section 3.11(d), assumption fees, modification fees, ancillary fees and other
transaction fees due to and received by the Master Servicer with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. 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 serviced and the other
accounts of the Master Servicer.
71
<PAGE>
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv)
above with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not an REO Loan, the Special
Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days 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 two 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.
Funds in the Certificate 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 Depositor of the
location of the Certificate Account as of the Closing Date and of the new
location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Distribution Account shall
be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds for
mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Trustee
and other accounts of the Trustee.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month on or before
the Master Servicer Remittance Date therein, for deposit in the Distribution
Account, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without
regard to clause (a)(v), (b)(iii), (b)(iv) or (b)(vi) of the definition thereof)
for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Certificate Account.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder,
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account:

represents Master Servicing Fees and/or Special Servicing Fees, which is to be
deposited in the Certificate Account);
(ii) any Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19;
(iii) any Liquidation Proceeds paid by the Master Servicer or the Depositor

thereof required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
9.01); and
72
<PAGE>
(iv) any other amounts required to be so delivered for deposit in the
Distribution Account pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account any

Agreement to be deposited therein. If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
any Master Servicer Remittance Date or on such other date as any amount referred
to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) is required to be delivered
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account the relevant portion of the Available
Distribution Amount or any of the amounts referred to in the foregoing clauses
(i) through (iv), then the Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a
Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to
telecopy no. (312) 499-5406 (or such alternative number provided by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (312)
499-5485 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such day. To the extent the Master Servicer has not delivered
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account such amounts as are
required to be delivered on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer shall pay interest thereon to the Trustee at an interest rate equal to
the Reimbursement Rate then in effect for the period from the Master Servicing
Remittance Date to and excluding the date such amounts are deposited.
Funds in the Distribution Account may be invested by the Trustee in
Permitted Investments and the Trustee shall be required to deposit an amount

the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor 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.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Interest Reserve Account
shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds
for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the

may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.06 and the Trustee shall be required to deposit an amount equal to the
Net Investment Loss, if any, in such account, all as provided in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.06.
On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in (i) January of each
calendar year that is not a leap year and (ii) February of each calendar year,
the Trustee shall calculate the Withheld Amount with respect to each Interest
Reserve Loan. On each such Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Interest Reserve
Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Withheld Amounts calculated in
accordance with the previous sentence. If the Trustee shall deposit in the
Interest Reserve Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at any time withdraw such amount from the Interest Reserve Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. On or prior to the
73
<PAGE>
Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall transfer to the Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts
on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series administered by the Trustee and other accounts of
the Trustee. Funds in the Excess Liquidation Reserve Proceeds Account may be
invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.06 and the Trustee shall be required to deposit an
amount equal to the Net Investment Shortfall, if any, in such account, all as
provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.
Upon the disposition of any REO Property in accordance with Section

the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is liable therefor
pursuant to Section 10.01(g) or (2) any such Person that may be so liable has
failed to make the required payment, and (B) reimburse the Trustee for
reasonable expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it by the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 10.01(c);
(vii) to withdraw funds deposited into the Distribution Account in error;
and
(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account at the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

(c) The Trustee may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Interest
Reserve Account to pay itself interest and investment income earned in respect
of amounts relating to the Trust Fund held in the Interest Reserve Account (but
only to the extent of Net Investment Earnings with respect to the Interest
Reserve Account for any Collection Period).
(d) The Trustee shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account to the extent required to make the
distributions from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account required by
Section 4.01(c).
SECTION 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the REO
Account.
(a) (i) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Certificate Account, any Lock-Box Account or any Cash Collateral
Account to invest, (ii) the Special Servicer may direct any depository
institution maintaining the REO Account to invest, or if it is a depository
institution, may itself invest, and (iii) the Trustee may direct the depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation
Proceeds Reserve Account or the Interest Reserve 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, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon, and
(ii) no later than the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository
institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment
of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in
its capacity as such). The Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in the Certificate Account, any Lock-Box Account, and any
Cash Collateral Account) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted
Investments of amounts in the REO Account) on behalf of the Trustee, and the
Trustee (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Distribution
Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest
Reserve Account), shall (and Trustee hereby designates the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, as applicable, as the Person that shall) (i) be the
"entitlement holder" of any Permitted Investment that is a "security
entitlement" and (ii) maintain "control" of any Permitted Investment that is
either a "certificated security" or an "uncertificated security". For purposes
of this Section 3.06(a), the terms "entitlement holder", "security entitlement",
"control", "certificated security" and "uncertificated security" shall have the
meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and
"control" of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall constitute "control" by a Person designated by, and acting on
behalf of the Trustee for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the
UCC. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time
invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
78
<PAGE>
demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account, any
Lock-Box Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, or any Cash
Collateral Account), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account) and
the Trustee (in the case of the Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve
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, the Special Servicer or the Trustee,
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
the Certificate Account, and to the extent the Master Servicer directs the
investment of funds in any Lock-Box Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds
Reserve Account or any Cash Collateral Account, interest and investment income
realized on funds deposited in each such Investment Account, to the extent of
the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each
Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master
Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction,
in accordance with Section 3.05(a). Interest and investment income realized on
funds deposited in the Distribution Account and the Interest Reserve Account, to
the extent of Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for
each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section
3.05(b) or (c), as the case may be. 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 such Investment Account 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 the Certificate
Account, and to the extent the Master Servicer has discretion to direct the
investment of funds in any Lock-Box Account or any Cash Collateral Account for
its sole and exclusive benefit, the Master Servicer shall deposit therein, no
later than the end of the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred,
without right of reimbursement, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any,
with respect to such account for such Collection Period. If any loss shall be
incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in the Distribution
Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account or the Interest Reserve
Account, the Trustee shall immediately deposit therein, without right of
reimbursement, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to
such account. If any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted
Investment on deposit in the REO Account, the Special Servicer 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
79
<PAGE>
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to
any Class shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment
or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings.
SECTION 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer (in the case of Mortgage Loans other than
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (in the case of
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall use reasonable efforts to cause each
Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the related Mortgaged Property all insurance
coverage as is required under the related Mortgage; provided that if any
Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance
coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall impose such insurance requirements as
are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If a Mortgagor fails to maintain
such insurance, the Master Servicer (at the direction of the Special Servicer in
the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall (to the extent available at
commercially reasonable terms) obtain such insurance (which may be through a
master or single interest policy) and the cost (including any deductible
relating to such insurance) of such insurance (or in the case of a master or
single interest policy, the incremental cost (including any deductible relating
to such insurance) of such insurance relating to the specific Mortgaged
Property), shall be a Servicing Advance and shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a). If at any time a Mortgaged Property is
located in an area identified in the Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood
Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards or it becomes located in such area by virtue of remapping
conducted by such agency (and flood insurance has been made available), the
Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special
Servicer) shall, if and to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the
Mortgagor or permits the mortgagee to require the Mortgagor to do so, use
reasonable efforts to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guideline of the Federal
Insurance Administration in the maximum amount of insurance coverage available
under the National Flood Insurance Act or 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended,
unless otherwise specified by the related Mortgage Loan. If (i) the Mortgagor is
required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan to maintain such insurance (or
becomes obligated by virtue of the related Mortgaged Property becoming located
in such area by virtue of such remapping) or (ii) the terms of the Mortgage Loan
permit the mortgagee to require the Mortgagor to obtain such insurance, the
Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special
Servicer), shall promptly notify the Mortgagor of its obligation to obtain such
insurance. If the Mortgagor fails to obtain such flood insurance within 120 days
of such notification, the Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall obtain such insurance, the cost of
which shall be a Servicing Advance and shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to
80
<PAGE>
incur any such cost if such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall also use
reasonable efforts to cause to be maintained for each REO Property (to the
extent available at commercially reasonable terms) no less insurance coverage
than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage or as
is consistent with the Servicing Standard. All such insurance policies shall
contain a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer
(in the case of Mortgaged Properties) or the Special Servicer (in the case of
REO Properties) on behalf of the Trustee, and 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 Mortgaged
Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in
each case in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan documents and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the 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 the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit,
but shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance pursuant
to Section 3.05(a).
(b) (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and
maintains a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the
Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible to cause
the maintenance of insurance hereunder, then, to the extent such policy 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 such Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such 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 a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property a
hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and
there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such
policy, promptly deposit into the Certificate Account (or into the Servicing
Account if insurance proceeds are to be applied to the repair or restoration of
the applicable Mortgaged Property or disbursed to the related Mortgagor) from
its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because
of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the
deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the
absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is
consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy maintained by it in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(ii) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, causes
any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master force placed
insurance policy, which provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Master
81
<PAGE>
Servicer or Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
respective obligations to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on such
Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible
clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on
the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with
the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more
losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained,
immediately deposit into the Certificate Account (or into the Servicing Account
if insurance proceeds are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the
applicable Mortgaged Property or disbursed to the related Mortgagor) from its
own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such
deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible
limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or, in the absence of
any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent
with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each
agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such master force placed insurance policy
maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and
maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the
term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions
insurance policy covering its officers and employees and other persons acting on
behalf of it in connection with its activities under this Agreement and naming
the Trustee as an additional insured. The amount of coverage shall be at least
equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC, whichever is
greater, with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case
may be, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which
it is responsible hereunder for FNMA or FHLMC. Coverage of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such
Person and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy
the requirements of this Section 3.07(c).
(d) All insurance coverage required to be maintained by the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Section 3.07 shall be obtained
from Qualified Insurers having a claims paying ability rating (or the
obligations of which are guaranteed or backed by a company having such claims
paying ability rating or insurance financial strength rating, as applicable) not
less than (w) two increments (but not less than BBB) below the rating of the
highest rated Certificate from Standard & Poor's (x) A2 by Moody's and (y) if
rated by FITCH IBCA, "A" by FITCH IBCA (or, if not rated by FITCH IBCA, rated
A-IX or better by A.M. Best); provided, however, that the requirements of
clauses (w), (x) and (y) shall not be applicable with respect to Moody's,
Standard & Poor's or FITCH IBCA, as applicable, if the related Rating Agency
shall have confirmed in writing that an insurance company with a lower claims
paying ability rating shall not result, in and of itself, in a downgrade,
qualification on withdrawal of the then current ratings by such Rating Agency of
any class of Certificates.

SECTION 3.08 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements;
Subordinate Financing; Defeasance.
(a) As to each Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the nature of a
"due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's
option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in
the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer or, in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise (or, subject to Section 3.20(a)(iv), waive its right to exercise) any
right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to any such sale or other
transfer, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. In the event that
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer intends or is required, in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Mortgage Loan documents or applicable law, to
permit the transfer of any Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, if consistent with the Servicing Standard,
may enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom
the related Mortgaged Property has been or is intended to be conveyed or may
enter into substitution of liability agreement, pursuant to which the original
Mortgagor and any original guarantors are released from liability, and the
transferee and any new guarantors are substituted therefor and become liable
under the Mortgage Note and any related guaranties and, in connection therewith,
may require from the related Mortgagor a reasonable and customary fee for the
additional services performed by it, together with reimbursement for any related
costs and expenses incurred by it (but only to the extent that charging such fee
and entering into such assumption and modification agreement will not be a
significant modification of the Mortgage Loan for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions). The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such agreement and forward the original
thereof to the Trustee for inclusion in the related Mortgage File. Subject to
Section 3.20(a), if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer intends or is
required to permit the transfer of any Mortgaged Property and enter into an
assumption agreement or a substitution of liability agreement, as the case may
be, in accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, prior to entering into such agreement, shall
submit to (A) FITCH IBCA, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has, or any
Mortgage Loan that is part of a Related Borrower Group that has, one of the
then-ten highest outstanding principal balances in the Mortgage Pool; and (B)
Standard & Poor's and Moody's, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has an
outstanding principal balance in excess of the lesser of (1) $20,000,000 or (2)
1.5% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Pool a copy of
such documentation and any information with respect to such action as the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, deems appropriate or as such Rating
Agency may reasonably request, and shall request that such Rating Agency deliver
to the
83
<PAGE>
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, Rating Agency Confirmation
with respect to the execution of such agreement within five (5) Business Days of
receipt of a copy of such documentation and any information such Rating Agency
so reasonably requests; provided, however, if the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer shall not have received such written confirmation from FITCH IBCA
within five (5) Business Days of such Rating Agency's receipt of a copy of such
documentation and such information, such written confirmation shall be deemed to
have been delivered to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by FITCH IBCA.
(b) As to each Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the nature of a
"due-on-encumbrance" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's
option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other
encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such
additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer or, in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise (or, subject to Section 3.20(a)(iv), waive its right to exercise) any
right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such
additional lien or other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing
Standard; provided, however that the Master Servicer or, in the case of a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, shall not waive its
right to exercise any such right when such right arises as a result of the
imposition of a lien against a Mortgaged Property which lien secures additional
indebtedness or a mechanic's or similar lien not permitted under the related
Mortgage Loan documents unless, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, prior to waiving any such right, shall submit to (A) FITCH IBCA
(but only in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has, or any Mortgage Loan that
is part of a Related Borrower Group that has, one of the then-ten highest
outstanding principal balances in the Mortgage Pool), (B) Standard & Poor's (in
all cases), and (C) Moody's (in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has an
outstanding principal balance in excess of the lesser of (1) $20,000,000 or (2)
1.5% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Pool) a copy of
the documentation under which any such lien would arise together with such other
information with respect to such proposed waiver as the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, deems appropriate or as such Rating Agency may
reasonably request, and shall request that such Rating Agency deliver to the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, Rating Agency Confirmation
with respect to such proposed waiver within five (5) Business Days of receipt of
a copy of such documentation and any information such Rating Agency so
reasonably requests; provided, however, if the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer shall not have received such written confirmation from FITCH IBCA
within five (5) Business Days of such Rating Agency's receipt of a copy of such
documentation and such information, such written confirmation shall be deemed to
have been delivered to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by FITCH IBCA.
84
<PAGE>
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which permits release of Mortgaged
Properties through a Defeasance Option or with respect to the application of
amounts held in any earnout or other reserve accounts, the Master Servicer
shall, to the extent consistent with and permitted by the applicable Mortgage
Loan documents, permit (or, if the terms of such Mortgage Loan permit the lender
to require defeasance, the Master Servicer shall require) the exercise of such
Defeasance Option on any Due Date occurring more than two years after the
Startup Day (the "Release Date") subject to the following conditions:
(i) No event of default exists under the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) The Mortgagor pays on such Release Date (A) all interest accrued and
unpaid on the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Note to and including the
Release Date; (B) all other sums, excluding scheduled interest or principal
payments due under the Mortgage Note and (C) any costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such release;
(iii) The Mortgagor has delivered Defeasance Collateral providing payments
on or prior to all successive scheduled payment dates from the Release Date to
the related Maturity Date, and in an amount equal to or greater than the
scheduled payments due on such dates under the Mortgage Loan;
(iv) The Mortgagor shall have delivered a security agreement granting the
Trust Fund a first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral;
(v) The Master Servicer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel from the
related Mortgagor (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor) to the
effect that the Trust Fund has a first priority security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral and that the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable;
(vi) The Master Servicer shall have obtained at the related Mortgagor's
expense a certificate from an Independent certified public accountant certifying
that the Defeasance Collateral complies with the requirements of the related
Mortgage Note;
(vii) The Master Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel from
the related Mortgagor to the effect that such release will not 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 or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund
under the REMIC Provisions;
(viii) The Borrower shall have provided evidence to the Master Servicer
demonstrating that the lien of the related Mortgage is being released to
facilitate the disposition of the Mortgaged Property or another customary
commercial transaction, and not as part of an arrangement to collateralize the
Certificates issued by the related REMIC with obligations that are not real
estate mortgages; and
85
<PAGE>
(ix) If required by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall have received Rating Agency Confirmation from each of FITCH IBCA and
Standard & Poor's with respect to the exercise of such Defeasance Option.
(d) Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee's
right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or
the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such
Mortgaged Property.
(e) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.20, neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term
of any Mortgage Loan in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take,
any action pursuant to this Section 3.08.
SECTION 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of the occurrence
of a Servicing Transfer Event in respect of any Mortgage Loan. The Special
Servicer shall monitor such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, evaluate whether
the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without
significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged Property, initiate
corrective action in cooperation with the Mortgagor if, in the Special
Servicer's judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including
without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Mortgage
Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special
Servicer's judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no
satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and
the Defaulted Mortgage Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant
to any provision hereof, then the Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections
(b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent
with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
(which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing such
Mortgage Loan. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in
which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause,
the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right but not the
obligation to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property if it
shall determine in its reasonable discretion (i) that such restoration will
increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, out of the proceeds of liquidation of such
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.05(a). The Special Servicer
(or, subject to Section 3.19(c), the Master Servicer) shall advance all other
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings, subject to its being
entitled to reimbursement therefor as a Servicing Advance as provided in Section
3.05(a) and further subject to its being entitled to pay out of the related
Liquidation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, which Liquidation Expenses were outstanding at the time such
proceeds are received. When applicable state law permits the Special Servicer to
select between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure in respect of any Mortgaged
Property, the Special Servicer shall make such selection in a manner consistent
with the Servicing Standard. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be
construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of
86
<PAGE>
the Trust Fund, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or
similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property,
as determined by the Special Servicer in its sole judgment taking into account
the factors described in Section 3.18(e) and the results of any Appraisal
obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all such bids to be made in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the
fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan,
whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal
performed with respect to such property (the cost of which Appraisal shall be
covered by, and reimbursable as, an Additional Trust Fund Expense).
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant
to this Section 3.09 (with the exception of cash or cash equivalents pledged as
collateral for a Mortgage Loan) unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning
of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the
cost of which may be withdrawn from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05(a)) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust
Fund will not (subject to Section 10.01(f)) cause the imposition of a tax on the
Trust Fund 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, the
Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, initiate foreclosure
proceedings, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged
Property, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if,
as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, would be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless
(as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the
Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously received an Environmental
Assessment in respect of such Mortgaged Property prepared within the twelve
months preceding such determination by a Person who regularly conducts
Environmental Assessments and the Special Servicer, based solely (as to
environmental matters and related costs) on the information set forth in such
Environmental Assessment, determines that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental
laws and regulations or, if not, that acquiring such Mortgaged Property and
taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in
compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders on a present value basis than not acquiring such Mortgaged
Property and not taking such actions; and
87
<PAGE>
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for
which investigations, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation
could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if
such circumstances or conditions are present for which any such action could be
required, that acquiring such Mortgaged Property and taking such actions with
respect to such Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis than not acquiring such
Mortgaged Property and not taking such actions.
The cost of any such Environmental Assessment, as well as the cost of any
remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, may be withdrawn from the Certificate
Account by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer as an
expense of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.05(a); and if any such
Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, at the expense
of the Trust Fund, perform such additional environmental testing as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard to determine whether the conditions
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied.
(d) If the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above
establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged
Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is
hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release all or a
portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall provide written reports monthly to the
Master Servicer, (who shall forward such reports to the Trustee, who shall
forward such reports to the Certificateholders) regarding any actions taken by
the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted
Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection
(c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i)
and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case
until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, removal of
the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and release of the lien of the
related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(f) The Special Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and
the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, the information
required to be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or
foreclosed, information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interests received in a trade or business and the information returns relating
to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property
required by Sections 6050J, 6050H and 6050P, respectively, of the Code. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Sections 6050J, 6050H and 6050P of the Code. The Special
Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report upon request to the Trustee.
88
<PAGE>
(g) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to
obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is
located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such an action.
(h) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records of each Final
Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property
and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than the 10th
Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
SECTION 3.10 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full
shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will immediately notify the Trustee
and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request
shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so
deposited. Within seven Business Days (or within such shorter period as release
can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the
Trustee shall release, or cause any related Custodian to release, the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, whichever
requested it. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate
Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may deliver to the
Trustee a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer thereof. Upon
receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the related
Custodian to deliver, the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such
Mortgage File or such document to the Trustee or the related Custodian, or the
delivery to the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited
into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so
deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Request
for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Within three Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery
can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of
an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any
Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment,
or to enforce any other remedies
89
<PAGE>
or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation
of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for
signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of
a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by
the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.11 Servicing Compensation; Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and
REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the same
basis and the same principal amount respecting which any related interest
payment due on such Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is
computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall
cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Servicing
Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest
on each Mortgage Loan, REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan and
the interest portion of Delinquency Advances on each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid 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). The right to receive the Servicing
Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the
transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under
this Agreement.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
modification fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar or
ancillary fees (excluding any other amounts relating to Prepayment Premiums), 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, 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) any Prepayment Interest Excesses, Balloon Payment Interest
Excesses, and further to the extent received on Mortgage Loans other than
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, any Penalty Charges not allocable to pay
Advance Interest collected on the Mortgage Loans; (ii) interest or other income
earned on deposits in the Investment Accounts (other than the REO 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 Investment Account for each
Collection Period), and (iii) to the extent not required to be paid to any
Mortgagor under applicable law or under the related Mortgage, any interest or
other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Accounts and Reserve Accounts
maintained thereby. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own
funds all overhead and general and administrative
90
<PAGE>
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of
Sub-Servicers retained by it and the premiums for any blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses pursuant to Section 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 each REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue
from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the same basis and the
same principal amount 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 each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan shall cease to accrue as of the date a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. As to each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and each REO 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).
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected
Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be
payable from, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to,
each collection of interest and principal received on such Mortgage Loan for so
long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to
any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if a Servicing Transfer
Event occurs with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes
an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when
such Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special
Servicer is terminated other than for cause or resigns in accordance with
Section 6.04, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees
payable in respect of Mortgage Loans that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during
the period that it acted as Special Servicer and were still such at the time of
such termination or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be
entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout
Fee for any such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which it receives any
full or discounted payoff or any Liquidation Proceeds (other than in connection
with the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
by the Special Servicer or the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling
Class pursuant to Section 3.18 or by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
pursuant to Section 3.18 or by the Master Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to
Section 9.01). As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
the Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be calculated by
application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to, such full or discounted payoff
and/or such Liquidation Proceeds. No Liquidation Fee will be payable with
respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage
91
<PAGE>
Loan solely by virtue of such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Liquidation Fee will be
payable from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected as a
result of any purchase of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
described in the parenthetical to the first sentence of this paragraph;
provided, however, that if any such Liquidation Proceeds are received with
respect to any Corrected Mortgaged Loan, and the Special Servicer is properly
entitled to a Workout Fee therefrom, such Workout Fee will be payable based on
and from the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds that constitute principal
and/or interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Liquidation Fee and a
Workout Fee relating to the same Mortgage Loan shall not be paid from the same
proceeds on or with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Subject to the Special Servicer's right to employ Sub-Servicers, the
Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee
and/or the Liquidation Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees and
modification fees received on or with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer and
shall not be required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.04(a). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees and modification fees that the Master Servicer is entitled to and that are
collected by the Special Servicer, shall be paid promptly to the Master Servicer
by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to
additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) to the extent not required
to be paid to any Mortgagor under applicable law, any interest or other income
earned on deposits in the REO Account, any Servicing Accounts and any Reserve
Accounts maintained thereby; and (ii) to the extent not required to be paid to
the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.11(b), any Penalty Charges (to the extent not allocable to pay Advance
Interest) collected on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans. The
Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all overhead and
general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any
amounts due and owing to any Sub-Servicers retained by it and the premiums for
any blanket policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to
Section 3.07(b)), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly
out of the Certificate Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer
shall not be entitled to reimbursement except as expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is required under this
Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but neither does so within 15 days after
such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, to the extent a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to make such Advance (subject to Section
3.11(g) below), make such Advance. If the Trustee fails to make a Servicing
Advance required to be made by it, the Fiscal Agent shall make such advance
(subject to Section 3.11(g)
92
<PAGE>
below) within one (1) Business Day of such failure by the Trustee. The making of
such Advance by the Fiscal Agent shall cure the failure by the Trustee to make
such Advance.
(f) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in
effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing Advance made
thereby for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding, payable, first,
out of Penalty Charges received on the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan as to which
such Servicing Advance was made and, then, once such Servicing Advance has been
reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.05, out of general collections on the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
required to make any Servicing Advance that it determines in its reasonable,
good faith judgment would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance;
provided, however, that the Special Servicer may make an Emergency Advance
notwithstanding that, at the time such Advance is made, the Special Servicer may
not have adequate information available in order to make a determination whether
or not such advance would, if made, be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In
addition, Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (including any Emergency Advances
made pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence which are ultimately
determined to be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) shall be reimbursable
pursuant to Section 3.05 out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account. The determination by the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, if applicable, the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any
proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly to
the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby) and the Depositor, setting
forth the basis for such determination, together with (if such determination is
prior to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property) a copy of
an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may
be, which shall have been performed within the twelve months preceding such
determination, and further accompanied by any other information, including,
without limitation, engineers' reports, environmental surveys, inspection
reports, rent rolls, income and expense statements or similar reports, that the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that supports such
determination. If such an Appraisal shall not have been required and performed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, may, subject to
its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate
the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such
purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund. The Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall
be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been
made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to a particular
Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any
determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special
Servicer with respect to a particular Servicing Advance.

SECTION 3.12 Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements.
(a) The Master Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a physical
inspection of each Mortgaged Property (other than Mortgaged Properties
constituting collateral for Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans) at such times
and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any
event at least once every two years or, if the related Mortgage Loan has a
current balance of greater than $2,000,000, at least once every year except, in
the case of a Credit Lease Loan, at least once every three years if the related
Tenant or its Guarantor has a published rating of not less than BBB- or its
equivalent from any nationally-recognized rating agency, every two years, if the
related Tenant or its guarantor has a published rating between BB+ and BB- or
its equivalent from any nationally-recognized rating agency, and annually if the
related Tenant or its Guarantor has a published rating of less than BB- or its
equivalent from any nationally-recognized rating agency. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) annually
a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property for which no published rating
is publicly available for the related Tenant under each Credit Lease Loan that
represents 5% or more of the initial principal balance of the Mortgage Pool, and
will inspect or cause to be inspected every second year each other Mortgaged
Property for which the related Tenant or its Guarantor has no published publicly
available rating.). The Master Servicer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared)
a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of the
Mortgaged Property and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the
Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection that the Master Servicer deems
material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property
evident from such inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition or value
of the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection that the Master Servicer
deems material, or (iv) any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property evident
from such inspection. The Master Servicer, upon request, shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of each such written report. In the event the published rating
for any Tenant or Guarantor is downgraded by any of Standard & Poor's, Moody's
or FITCH IBCA by one or more rating increments (e.g. AA to A) and no inspection
has been performed due to a ratings downgrade in the preceding twelve months for
the related Mortgaged Property, then in each such instance, the Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall cause all Mortgaged Properties leased
to such Tenant to be inspected as soon as reasonably practical and, thereafter,
in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (a).
(b) The Special Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a
physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property constituting collateral for a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such times and in such manner as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, then as soon as practicable (and in any event within 90
days thereafter) the Special Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a
physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property constituting collateral for such
Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) a
written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of the Mortgaged
Property and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged
Property evident from such inspection that the Special Servicer deems material,
(ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property evident from
such inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition or value of the
Mortgaged Property evident from such
94
<PAGE>
inspection that the Special Servicer deems material, or (iv) any waste committed
on the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection. The Special Servicer,
upon request, shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a copy of
each such written report.
(c) The Master Servicer (or, in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans, the Special Servicer) shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly
from each Mortgagor (other than a Mortgagor on a Credit Lease Loan) quarterly
and annual operating statements and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged
Property. In addition, the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to
obtain quarterly and annual operating statements and rent rolls with respect to
each REO Property. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, upon request, shall
each deliver copies of the collected items to the other such party and the
Trustee in each case within 10 days of its receipt of such request.
SECTION 3.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will deliver to the
Trustee, with a copy to the Depositor, on or before April 30th of each year,
beginning in 2000, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof,
that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
(ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has fulfilled in all
material respects its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, has received no notice regarding qualification, or challenging the status,
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or of the Grantor Trust as a "grantor trust" under
the Grantor Trust Provisions from the Internal Revenue Service or any other
governmental agency or body or, if it has received any such notice, specifying
the details thereof. A copy of such Officer's Certificate may be obtained by
Certificateholders upon written request to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.12
hereof.
SECTION 3.14 Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before April 30th of each year, beginning in 2000, the Master
Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
(which may also render other services to the Master Servicer) and that is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Trustee and to the Depositor to the effect that (i) it has
obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the
management of the Master Servicer, which includes an assertion that the Master
Servicer has complied with certain minimum mortgage loan servicing standards (to
the extent applicable to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans), identified
in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of
commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during the most recently completed
calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in
accordance with standards established by the American
95
<PAGE>
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated
in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications
that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to the direct servicing of commercial and multifamily mortgage
loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent
certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in
accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report)
with respect to those Sub-Servicers.
The Special Servicer will deliver an annual accountants' report only if,
and in such form as may be, requested by the Rating Agencies.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, to the extent applicable,
will use reasonable efforts to cause the accountants referred to above to
cooperate with the Depositor in conforming any reports delivered pursuant to
this Section 3.14 to requirements imposed by the Commission on the Depositor in
connection with the Commission's issuance of a no-action letter relating to the
Depositor's reporting requirements in respect of the Trust Fund pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
SECTION 3.15 Access to Certain Information.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause
to be provided to the Trustee, and to the OTS, the FDIC, and any other federal
or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority
over any Certificateholder, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans and the Trust Fund within its control which may be required by this
Agreement or by applicable law. Such access shall be afforded without charge but
only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at
the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
designated by it.
SECTION 3.16 Title to REO Property; REO Account.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall
attempt to sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third taxable year of
the Trust Fund following the taxable year in which the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code,
unless the Special Servicer either (i) is granted an extension of time (an "REO
Extension") by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii)
obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the
Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to the close of such period will not (subject to Section
10.01(f)) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for federal (or
any applicable state or local) income tax purposes) 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
96
<PAGE>
Property within such longer liquidation period as is permitted by such REO
Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred
by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension
contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the
Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence,
shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
(b) The Special Servicer shall cause all funds collected and received in
connection with any REO Property to be held separate and apart from its own
funds and general assets. If any REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special
Servicer shall establish and maintain (or cause to be established and
maintained) one or more accounts (collectively, the "REO Account"), to be 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 and may consist of one account for some
or all of the REO Properties. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited, in the REO Account, within two Business Days of receipt, all REO
Revenues, Liquidation Proceeds (net of all Liquidation Expenses paid therefrom)
and Insurance Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. The Special
Servicer is authorized to pay out of related Liquidation Proceeds any
Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an REO Property and outstanding at
the time such proceeds are received. 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 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 any REO Account when first established and of the new location of
such REO Account prior to any change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall cause all funds necessary for the proper
operation, management, maintenance, disposition and liquidation of any REO
Property to be withdrawn from the REO Account, but only to the extent of amounts
on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. Within one Business
Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall
withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into the Certificate Account or
deliver to 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 such Collection Period, net of any withdrawals made out of
such amounts pursuant to Section 3.16 (b) or this Section 3.16(c); provided that
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, maintenance and disposition of the related REO
Property (including without limitation the creation of a reasonable reserve for
repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related
expenses), such reserve not to exceed an amount sufficient to cover such items
to be incurred during the following twelve-month period.

(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a
property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to,
and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or (c).
SECTION 3.17 Management of REO Property; Independent Contractors.
(a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a
Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such
Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived
from such property if it were acquired by the Trust Fund. If the Special
Servicer determines from such review, in its good faith and reasonable judgment,
that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property
would be subject to tax as "net income from foreclosure property" within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions or would be subject to the tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F of the Code (either such tax
referred to herein as an "REO Tax"), 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 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) Directly Operating such property as REO Property could result in
income subject to an REO Tax and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of
the Special Servicer, that no commercially feasible means exists to operate such
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 Trustee, 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 Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall advise the Special
Servicer of the Trust Fund'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 Trustee 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
Trustee, the Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan
(after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as REO Property) or (B)
manage and operate such property in a manner that would not result in the
imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.
98
<PAGE>
The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be
managed and operated shall in any event be based on the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer as to which means would (to the
extent commercially feasible) maximize the net after-tax REO Revenues received
by the Trust Fund with respect to such property without materially and adversely
affecting the Special Servicer's ability to sell such REO Property in accordance
with this Agreement and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard. Both the Special Servicer and the
Trustee may consult with counsel knowledgeable in such matters at the expense of
the Trust Fund in connection with determinations required under this Section
3.17(a). Neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable to the
Certificateholders, the Trust Fund, the other parties hereto or each other for
errors in judgment made in good faith in the reasonable exercise of their
discretion while performing their respective responsibilities under this Section
3.17(a) or, to the extent it relates to federal income tax consequences for the
Trust Fund, Section 3.17(b) below. Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended
to prevent the sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to the
terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.
(b) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property for the benefit of the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or,
except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), result in the receipt by the Trust Fund
of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is
subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Subject to the foregoing,
however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and
all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Special Servicer in its
good faith and reasonable judgment) and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw
from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect
to each 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 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 the prior sentence with
respect to such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall advance such amount as
is necessary for such purposes (which advances shall be Servicing Advances)
unless (as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee) such
advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided,
however, that the Special Servicer shall make any such Servicing Advance if it
is a necessary fee or expense
99
<PAGE>
incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings and
such advance will be deemed to constitute a recoverable Servicing Advance.
(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 an expense of
the Trust Fund) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and
locality of the REO Property;
(iii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require,
that the Independent Contractor (A) pay, out of related REO Revenues, all costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such
REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (b)
hereof, and (B) remit all related REO Revenues (net of its fees and such costs
and expenses) to the Special Servicer;
(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.
SECTION 3.18 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(a) The parties hereto 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) In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan
and the Special Servicer has determined in good faith that such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan will become subject to foreclosure proceedings, the Special
Servicer shall promptly so notify, in writing, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall so notify, in writing, within 10 days after
receipt of its notice, the Holders of the Controlling Class. The Majority
Certificateholder of the
100
<PAGE>
Controlling Class may at its (or their) option purchase from the Trust Fund, at
a price equal to the Purchase Price, any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The
Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be
deposited into the Certificate Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit
has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class (or any designee thereof) the related
Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class (or any designee thereof)
ownership of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase,
the Special Servicer shall deliver the related Credit File to such
Certificateholder(s).
(c) If the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class has not
purchased any Defaulted Mortgage Loan within 15 days of its having received
notice in respect thereof pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (b),
either the Special Servicer or, subject to the Special Servicer's prior rights
in such regard, the Master Servicer may at its option, within 15 days after
receipt of such notice, purchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan from the Trust
Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate
from the 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 at the
expense of the purchasing party such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to
vest in the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such
Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase by the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall deliver the related Credit File to the
Master Servicer.
(d) The Special Servicer may offer to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan not
otherwise purchased by the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to subsection (b) or (c)
above, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, that such a sale would produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders on a present value basis than would liquidation of the
related Mortgaged Property. Such offering 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, loan
status, condition and similar customary matters, if liability for breach thereof
is limited to recourse against the Trust Fund) for a period of not less than 10
days or more than 90 days. Unless the Special Servicer determines that
acceptance of any offer would not be in the best economic interests of the Trust
Fund, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer received from any
Person that constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. In the absence of
any offer 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 and, otherwise, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for
each REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair
price within the time period
101
<PAGE>
provided for by Section 3.16(a). The Special Servicer shall accept the first
(and, if multiple bids are contemporaneously received, highest) cash bid
received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If
the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that
it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time
constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the Special Servicer shall dispose
of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer
shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the
circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding
cash bid, regardless of from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of
related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property purchased hereunder shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account, except that any portion of proceeds
consisting of Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be deposited in the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account.
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
Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property. No Interested Person shall be obligated
to submit a bid to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its
individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may bid for or purchase any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
(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, if the highest bidder is a
Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest
bidder is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no bid from an
Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest bid
received and (ii) at least two other bids are received from independent third
parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person
represents a fair price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, the Trustee
shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated
Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding
12-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a narrative
appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser retained by the Special Servicer.
Such appraiser shall be selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer
is not making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property
and shall be selected by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making
such an offer. The cost of any such narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and
shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any offer
from a Person other than an Interested Person 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, updated Appraisal or narrative
Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior
12 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person
constitutes a fair price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, any
appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other
factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Defaulted
Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to
dispose of any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a).
The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall in all
cases be deemed a fair price.
102
<PAGE>
(f) Subject to subsections (a) through (e) above, the Special Servicer
shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund 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
offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer's actual
costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or
exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the
Certificate Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property
shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except
such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties
typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any
customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the Depositor or 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, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, a sale for other
consideration will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event).
(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.18,
the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if
the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that
rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from
any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its
reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in
the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective
buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the
terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more
favorable).
SECTION 3.19 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer.
(a) In connection with each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan (and, if and to
the extent applicable, any successor REO Loan), the Master Servicer shall
calculate adjustments in the Mortgage Rate and the Monthly Payment and shall
notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, all in accordance with the Mortgage
Note and applicable law. In the event the Index for any Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan (or successor REO Loan) is not published or is otherwise unavailable, the
Master Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index with respect to such
Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan) over which it has no direct control, which
is readily verifiable and which is acceptable under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note.
(b) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall each
deliver to the other and to the Trustee (for inclusion in the Mortgage File)
copies of all Appraisals,
103
<PAGE>
environmental reports and engineering reports (or, in each case, updates
thereof) obtained with respect to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property.
(c) No more frequently than once per calendar month, the Special Servicer
may require the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated,
subject to the second following paragraph, to reimburse the Special Servicer for
any Servicing Advances made by but not previously reimbursed to the Special
Servicer, and to pay the Special Servicer interest thereon at the Reimbursement
Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such
reimbursement and any accompanying payment of Advance Interest shall be made
within ten (10) days of the request therefor by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Special Servicer. Upon the
Master Servicer's reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance
and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with
this Section 3.19(c), the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this
Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the
Special Servicer originally made such Advance, and accordingly, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such Advance, together with
interest thereon, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made
such Servicing Advance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if
the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make any Servicing
Advance but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its sole
discretion, request that the Master Servicer make such Advance, such request to
be made in writing and in a timely manner that does not materially and adversely
affect the interests of any Certificateholder. Subject to the following
paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such
Servicing Advance that it is requested by the Special Servicer to make within
ten days of the Master Servicer's receipt of such request. The Special Servicer
shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to an Advance that it requests
the Master Servicer to make (regardless of whether or not the Master Servicer
shall make such Advance). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer,
together with Advance Interest thereon, at the same time, in the same manner and
to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other
Servicing Advance made thereby. If the Special Servicer makes any Servicing
Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Special Servicer
shall notify the Master Servicer in writing within one Business Day of any such
Servicing Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(c), the
Master Servicer shall not be required to make at the Special Servicer's
direction, or to reimburse the Special Servicer for, any Servicing Advance if
the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment that the
Servicing Advance which the Special Servicer is directing the Master Servicer to
make or to reimburse to the Special Servicer hereunder either (y) although not
characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is
or would be, if made, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or (z) the making of
such advance was or would be in violation of the Servicing Standard or the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special
Servicer in writing of such determination. Such notice shall not obligate the
Special Servicer to make any such proposed Servicing Advance.
104
<PAGE>
(d) Upon the earliest of (i) the date on which any Mortgage Loan becomes a
Modified Mortgage Loan, (ii) the 90th day following the occurrence of any
uncured delinquency in Monthly Payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (iii)
the date on which a receiver is appointed and continues in such capacity in
respect of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan and (iv) the date
on which the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan becomes an REO
Property (each such Mortgage Loan and any related REO Loan, a "Required
Appraisal Loan"), the Special Servicer, shall request and, within 30 days of the
occurrence of such event (or such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as
certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith
proceeding to obtain such) obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been obtained within the
prior twelve months. The cost of such Appraisal shall be covered by, and
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
With respect to each Required Appraisal Loan (unless such loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan and has remained current for twelve consecutive Monthly
Payments, and no other Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect
thereto during the preceding twelve months), the Special Servicer shall, within
30 days of each anniversary of such loan's becoming a Required Appraisal Loan,
order an update of the prior Appraisal (the cost of which will be covered by,
and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). Based upon such Appraisal, the
Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Trustee the Appraisal
Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such loan. The Special Servicer shall
deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right
of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of all Balloon
Payment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with Balloon Payments
received in respect of the Mortgage Pool during the most recently ended
Collection Period.
(f) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right
of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the lesser of (i)
the aggregate of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with
Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than Late
Due Date Mortgage Loans) during the most recently ended Collection Period, and
(ii) the aggregate Master Servicing Fees received by the Master Servicer during
such Collection Period and (B) the aggregate of all Extraordinary Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls, if any, incurred in connection with Principal Prepayments
received in respect of Late Due Date Mortgage Loans during the most recently
ended Collection Period.
(g) With respect to all ARD Loans, the Master Servicer shall apply all
Monthly Payments and any other sums due, in accordance with the terms of the
related ARD Loan.
(h) Subject to Section 3.20(a)(iv), with respect to all ARD Loans, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action
with respect to the payment of Excess Interest or principal in excess of the
principal component of the constant Monthly Payment, other than request for
collection, until the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan. The
105
<PAGE>
foregoing shall not limit the Servicer and Special Servicer's obligation to
establish or direct the related Mortgagor to establish a Lock-Box Account
pursuant to Section 3.24.
(i) The Master Servicer shall be entitled to waive the application of any
provision in any ARD Loan that requires that the property manager of the related
Mortgaged Property be discharged if such Mortgage Loan is not paid in full on
its Anticipated Repayment Date.
(j) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that upon the occurrence of certain
events permits the Master Servicer to apply the proceeds of the release of any
earnout reserve to the exercise of a Defeasance Option, the Master Servicer
shall only exercise such Defeasance Option in accordance with Section 3.08 of
this Agreement.
(k) To the extent consistent with the terms of the applicable Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall exercise its option to apply any proceeds of the
release of the related earnout reserve to the prepayment or defeasance, as
applicable, of such Mortgage Loan.
(l) Upon the application of the proceeds of the release of any earnout
reserve to the prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall calculate, based upon the Maturity Date, Mortgage Rate and remaining
outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, a revised schedule upon
which the remaining amount of principal and interest due upon such Mortgage Loan
shall be amortized until its Maturity Date. The Master Servicer shall deliver a
copy of such revised amortization schedule to the related Mortgagor with an
instruction to thereafter make Monthly Payments in accordance with the revised
schedule.
(m) The Master Servicer shall provide written direction to each lessor
under a Ground Lease requesting that upon any default by the lessee, notice
thereof be provided to the Master Servicer to the extent required by the Ground
Lease.
SECTION 3.20 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may agree to any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and
principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or
substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the Mortgagor
on or any guarantor of any Mortgage Loan it is required to service and
administer hereunder, without the consent of the Trustee or any
Certificateholder, subject, however, to each of the following limitations,
conditions and restrictions:
(i) other than as provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.08, the Master Servicer
(in such capacity) shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a)
with respect to, any Mortgage Loan that would (A) affect the amount or timing of
any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder,
(B) affect the obligation of the related Mortgagor to pay any Prepayment Premium
or permit a Principal Prepayment during any period when the terms of the
Mortgage Loan prohibit the making of Principal Prepayments or, (C) in the Master
Servicer's good faith and reasonable
106
<PAGE>
judgment, materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce the
likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon; the Special Servicer (in
such capacity) may, however, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a)
with respect to, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that would have any such
effect, but only if, in the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith
judgment, a material default on such Mortgage Loan has occurred or a default in
respect of payment on such Mortgage Loan is reasonably foreseeable, and such
modification, waiver, amendment or other action is reasonably likely to produce
a greater recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis, than would
liquidation;
(ii) any such action taken by the Special Servicer shall be accompanied by
an Officer's Certificate to such effect and to which is attached the present
value calculation which establishes the basis for such determination, a copy of
which shall be delivered to the Trustee for delivery to the Rating Agencies;
(iii) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the
Stated Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan beyond the date that is two years
prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and, in the case of any Mortgage Loan
that is secured solely by a Ground Lease, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, shall give due consideration to the remaining term
of such Ground Lease prior to extending the Stated Maturity Date of the Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall make or
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take any of the
other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) or clause (h) of Section 3.19 with
respect to, any Mortgage Loan that would (A) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC
III to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (subject to Section
10.01(f)) result in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" after the Startup Day of any such REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions or (B) cause any Mortgage Loan to cease to be a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for judgments as regards
decisions made under this subsection which were made in good faith and, unless
it would constitute bad faith or negligence to do so, each of the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer may rely on opinions of counsel in making such
decisions);
(v) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit any
Mortgagor to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding Mortgage Loan,
which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have first determined, in its
reasonable and good faith judgment, based upon an Environmental Assessment
performed within the twelve months prior to such determination (and such
additional environmental testing as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
the case may be, deems necessary and appropriate) prepared by an Independent
Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments (and such additional
environmental testing), at the expense of the Mortgagor, that such additional or
substitute collateral is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations and that there are no circumstances or conditions present with
107
<PAGE>
respect to such new collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of
any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation would be required under any then applicable
environmental laws and/or regulations; and
(vi) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall release or
substitute any collateral securing an outstanding Mortgage Loan except as
provided in Sections 3.08 and 3.09(d) and except in the case of a release where
(A) the use of the collateral to be released will not, in the Master Servicer's
or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, good faith and reasonable judgment,
materially and adversely affect the Net Operating Income being generated by or
the use of the related Mortgaged Property, (B) there is a corresponding
principal paydown of such Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to, or a
delivery of substitute collateral with an appraised value at least equal to, the
appraised value of the collateral to be released, (C) the remaining Mortgaged
Property and any substitute collateral is, in the Master Servicer's or Special
Servicer's, as the case may be, good faith and reasonable judgment, adequate
security for the remaining Mortgage Loan and (D) such release and/or
substitution would not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, qualification
(including by placement on "negative credit watch") or withdrawal of the rating
then assigned by any Rating Agency to any Class of Certificates (as confirmed in
writing by each Rating Agency); provided that (x) the limitations, conditions
and restrictions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above shall not apply to
any modification of any term of any Mortgage Loan or any other acts referenced
in this Section 3.20(a) that is required under the terms of such Mortgage Loan
in effect on the Closing Date and that is solely within the control of the
related Mortgagor, and (y) notwithstanding clauses (i) through (vi) above,
neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to oppose
the confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a
Mortgagor if in their reasonable and good faith judgment such opposition would
not ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially
similar. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the
Maturity Date on any Mortgage Loan except pursuant to this Section 3.20(a) or as
otherwise required under the related loan documents.
(b) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability to the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or any other Person if its
analysis and determination that the modification, waiver, amendment or other
action contemplated by Section 3.20(a) is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis than would liquidation,
should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as the analysis and determination
were made on a reasonable basis in good faith by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer was not negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(c) Any payment of interest, which 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 Mortgage Loan or such
modification, waiver or amendment so permit.
(d) The Master Servicer and, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgaged
Loan, the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request
by a Mortgagor for
108
<PAGE>
consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the
granting of which is within the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
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, as additional servicing compensation, a
reasonable or customary fee (not to exceed 1.0% of the unpaid principal balance
of the related Mortgage Loan) for the additional services performed in
connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses
incurred by it.
(e) Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and notice periods, all material
modifications, waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans entered into
pursuant to this Section 3.20 shall be in writing.

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

Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof, and deliver
the related 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 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. The
Special Servicer may, as to any delinquent Mortgage Loan, prior to the
occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect thereto, request and
obtain the foregoing documents and information.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof, and return
the related Servicing File, to the Master Servicer and upon giving such notice,
and returning such Servicing File, to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer's
right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan,

<PAGE>
Notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall remain responsible for the billing and collection,
accounting, data collection, reporting and other basic Master Servicer
administrative functions with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
provided that the Special Servicer shall establish procedures for the Master
Servicer as to the application of receipts and tendered payments and shall have
the exclusive responsibility for and authority over all contacts with and
notices to Mortgagors and similar matters relating to each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee originals of documents included within the
definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (with a
copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and copies of any additional
related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the related
Mortgagor.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the same Person, all
notices, certificates, information and consents required to be given by the
Master Servicer to the Special Servicer or vice versa shall be deemed to be
given without the necessity of any action on such Person's part.
SECTION 3.22 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each enter into
Sub-Servicing Agreements for the servicing and administration of all or a part
of the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible hereunder, provided that, in
each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) is not inconsistent with this
Agreement and shall provide that the Sub-Servicer will maintain errors and
omissions insurance and fidelity bond coverage as required of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever retained it) under Section 3.07
hereof; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder (including, without limitation, by
reason of an Event of Default or their termination hereunder), the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer 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; (iii) in the case of a Sub-Servicing
Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer, expressly or effectively provides
that (if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are not the same Person)
such agreement shall terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced
thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan; (iv) requires that the Master Servicer consent to any modification to the
terms of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.20; and (v) in the case of a
Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Special Servicer, relates only to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties and expressly or effectively
provides that (if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are not the same
Person) such agreement shall terminate with respect to any such Mortgage Loan
that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. Termination penalties or fees incurred
under any such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall not be an obligation of, or expense
chargeable to, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund. References in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, include actions taken or to be taken by a
Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer or the
110
<PAGE>
Special Servicer, as the case may be; and, in connection therewith, all amounts
advanced by any Sub-Servicer to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder to make Servicing
Advances and Delinquency Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of its own
funds and, accordingly, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer
in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, for so long as
they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with
Section 3.11(f) or Section 4.03(d), as applicable, 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 the Sub-Servicer receives such payment.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state
or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund)
monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
retained by it under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to
such an extent and at such time by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(d) In the event the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer
or Special Servicer assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at its expense shall, upon request of
the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced
thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it
thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer each shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and
the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible.

effect that the designation of such Person to serve as Special Servicer is in
compliance with this Section 3.23 and all other applicable provisions of this
Agreement, that upon the execution and delivery of the written acceptance
referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii), the designated Person

to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the effective date of such resignation, whether in respect of Servicing
Advances or otherwise, and (ii) it and its directors, officers, employees and

(b) The Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class will have no
liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for
refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment. Each Holder and Certificate Owner
acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates or an interest
therein, that the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class may have
special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders and
Certificate Owners of one or more Classes of Certificates, that the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class may act solely in the interests of
the Holders and Certificate Owners of the Controlling Class, that the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class does not have any duties to the
Holders and Certificate Owners of any Class of Certificates other than the
Controlling Class, that the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class
may take actions that favor interests of the Holders and Certificate Owners of
the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders and Certificate Owners
of one or more other Classes of Certificates, and that the Majority
112

Certificateholder of the Controlling Class shall have no liability whatsoever
for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever
against the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class or any director,
officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

specified in such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (or, with respect to any
Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use reasonable efforts to
establish or cause to be established such Lock-Box Account upon the occurrence
of such events unless the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as
applicable) determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standards, that such
Lock-Box Account should not be established. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall use reasonable
efforts to establish or cause to be established a Lock-Box Account for each ARD
Loan no later than its Anticipated Repayment Date.

Holders of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, shall be to the
Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, net of any payments of
principal made in respect thereof to the Holders of each Class of Principal
Balance Certificates that have a higher Payment Priority.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any amounts then on
deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Premiums collected
during or prior to the related Collection Period and shall distribute such
amounts, in each case, subject to available funds, as additional interest, as
follows:
121
<PAGE>
(i) to the Holders of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E,
Class F and Class G Certificates up to an amount equal to, in the case of each
such Class, the product of (a) such Prepayment Premiums, (b) the applicable
Discount Rate Fraction and (c) the Principal Allocation Fraction of such Class;
and
(ii) then, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates.
All of the foregoing distributions to be made from the Distribution Account
on any Distribution Date with respect to the REMIC III Certificates shall be
deemed made from the payments deemed made to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC II
Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b).
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution
Account, as Grantor Trust Assets, any amounts that represent Excess Interest
actually collected on the ARD Loans and any related REO Loans during the related
Collection Period and shall distribute with respect to their interests in the
Grantor Trust, such amounts to the holders of the Class N Certificates, without
regard to whether any such Class is entitled to distributions of interest or
principal on such Distribution Date (whether by reason of its Class Principal
Balance having been reduced to zero, by reason of it not yet being entitled to
distributions of principal, or for any other reason).
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw amounts from the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts in
the following priority:
(i) first, to reimburse the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates
(in order of alphabetical Class designation) up to an amount equal to all
Realized Losses or Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously deemed
allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;
(ii) second, for distribution to the Special Servicer as additional
servicing compensation, the excess, if any, of (x) the balance of the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on such Distribution Date over (y) the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates as
of such Distribution Date;
(iii) third, upon the reduction of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of
the Principal Balance Certificates to zero, to pay any amounts remaining on
deposit in such account to the Special Servicer as additional Special Servicer
compensation.
(d) 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 in the last paragraph of Section 4.01(c) or as 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
122
<PAGE>
Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee 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) 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 like manner, but only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the
Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution. Any distribution that is to be
made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or
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 Registrar or to any other address of
which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing.
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by
this Agreement or applicable law.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the
proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their Certificates, and all rights and
interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as
set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates
nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates. Distributions in reimbursement of Realized
Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a Class of
Certificates shall not constitute distributions of principal and shall not
result in a reduction of the related Class Principal Balance.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
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 Trustee shall, as
soon as practicable in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, mail to
each Holder of such Class of Certificates as of the date of mailing a notice to
the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to such
Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the
Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified, and
123
<PAGE>
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the
applicable Interest Accrual Period for 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 accounts of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee 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 Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the
surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and
expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such
second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such
funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any
amount held in trust hereunder by the Trustee as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(g). If all of the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of
the delivery of the second notice, the Trustee shall distribute all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto in accordance with applicable
laws.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders. All amounts withheld shall be deemed to have been paid to
such Certificateholders.

The obligation of the Master Servicer to deliver the reports required to be
delivered by it pursuant to this subsection (b) is subject to the Master
Servicer having received from the Special Servicer in a timely manner the
related reports and information necessary or required to enable the Master

SECTION 4.03 Delinquency Advances.
(a) On each Delinquency Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i)
deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Delinquency Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the
related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Certificate Account
for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge
of any such obligation to make Delinquency Advances, or (iii) make Delinquency
Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total
amount of Delinquency Advances to be made; provided that, if Late Collections
(net of related Workout Fees) of the delinquent Monthly Payments for which
Delinquency Advances are to be made for the related Distribution Date, are on
deposit in the Certificate Account and available to make such Advances, the
Master Servicer shall utilize such Late Collections to make such Advances
pursuant to clause (ii) above. Any amounts held in the Certificate Account for
future distribution and so used to make Delinquency 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 Delinquency Advances were made). If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall not have
received any Delinquency Advance required to be made by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and the Master Servicer shall not have
delivered to the Trustee the requisite Officer's Certificate and documentation
related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a Delinquency 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.(312) 499-5406 (or
such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in
writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (312) 499- 5485 (Attention: Master
Servicing Manager) (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer
to the Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on such day. If after such notice the Trustee does not
receive the full amount of such Delinquency Advances by 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Business Day immediately following such Master Servicer
Remittance Date, then the Trustee shall make the portion of such Delinquency
Advances that was required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 4.03(a). If the Trustee fails to make a Delinquency
Advance required to be made by it hereunder, the Fiscal Agent shall make such
advance no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day
immediately following such Master Servicer Remittance Date. The making of such
Advance by the Fiscal Agent shall cure the failure by the Trustee to make such
Advance.
(b) The aggregate amount of Delinquency Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation,
Assumed Monthly Payments for Balloon Mortgage Loans delinquent as to their
respective Balloon Payments) and any REO Loans for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to subsection (c) below, the aggregate of all Monthly Payments
(other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net
of related Workout Fees payable hereunder, that were due or deemed due, as the
case may be, in respect thereof on their respective Due Dates during the same
month as such Distribution Date and that were not paid by or on behalf of the
related Mortgagors or otherwise collected as of the
133
<PAGE>
close of business on the later of the related Due Date or the last day of the
related Collection Period; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount
exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of
subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the Delinquency
Advance in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution
Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no
reduction in the principal portion of such Delinquency Advance) to equal the
product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such Delinquency Advance
for such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to
this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the
numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required
Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related
Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the
Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to
such Distribution Date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Delinquency Advance
shall be required to be made hereunder if such Delinquency Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance. In addition,
Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section
3.05(a) out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on
deposit in the Certificate Account. The determination by the Master Servicer or,
if applicable, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance or that any proposed Delinquency Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly (and, in any event, in the case
of a proposed Delinquency Advance to be made by the Master Servicer, no less
than two Business Days prior to the related Delinquency Advance Date) by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby) and the
Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with (if
such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or
REO Property) a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, as the case may be, which shall have been performed within the twelve
months preceding such determination, and further accompanied by any other
information that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained
and that supports such determination. If such an Appraisal shall not have been
required and performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may
be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such
Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain
an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund. The Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely on any determination of
nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer with respect to a particular Delinquency Advance, and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability
that may have been made by the Special Servicer with respect to a particular
Delinquency Advance.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each be
entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to
time, accrued on the amount of each Delinquency Advance made thereby (out of its
own funds) for so long as such Delinquency Advance is outstanding (or, if any
Delinquency Advance is required to be made in respect of a delinquent Monthly
Payment on any Mortgage Loan prior to the end of the grace period for such
134
<PAGE>
Monthly Payment, for so long as such Delinquency Advance is outstanding
following the end of such grace period), payable first, out of Penalty Charges
received on the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan as to which such Delinquency Advance
was made and, then, once such Delinquency Advance has been reimbursed, out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section
3.05(a).
SECTION 4.04 Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be
made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a),
the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest (after
taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced to equal the
Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or, if
applicable, Replacement Mortgage Loan(s), as the case may be, that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. Such reductions shall
be deemed to be an allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the payments deemed to be made to
REMIC III in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to
Section 4.01(b), the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i)
the then aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular
Interests LA-1, LA-2, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LJ, LK, LL, LM and LN exceeds
(ii) an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If
such excess does exist, then the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances of
such REMIC II Regular Interests shall be reduced such that the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest corresponds with the
Certificate Principal Balance of the corresponding Class of Principal Balance
Certificates outstanding after the subsequent adjustments made on such
Distribution Date under Section 4.04(c) below.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to be made to
the Certificateholders on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(c), the Trustee
shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, exceeds (ii) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding
immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then
the Class Principal Balances of the Class N, Class M, Class L, Class K, Class J,
Class H, Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates
shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until the first to
occur of such excess being reduced to zero or the related Class Principal
Balance being reduced to zero. If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount
described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the
amount described in clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, then the
respective Class Principal Balances of the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates
shall be reduced, pro rata in accordance with the relative sizes of the then
outstanding Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates, until the
first to occur of such excess being reduced to zero or each such Class Principal
Balance being reduced to zero. Such reductions in the
135
<PAGE>
Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of Principal Balance
Certificates shall be deemed to be allocations of Realized Losses and Additional
Trust Fund Expenses.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-15. (In the case of the Class N Certificates,
with the inclusion or exclusion of appropriate bracketed provisions contained in
Exhibit A-15 to reflect the applicable subclass designation.) 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
shall initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository. The Non-Registered Certificates will be issued as Definitive
Certificates. The REMIC III Regular Certificates will be issuable in
denominations corresponding to initial Certificate Principal Balances or
Certificate Notional Amounts, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date of not
less than $25,000 in the case of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D and Class E, $100,000 in the case of the Class F, Class G, Class H,
Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M and Class N Certificates, and $1,000,000 in
the case of the Class X Certificates, and in each such case in any whole dollar
denomination in excess thereof; provided, however, that a single Certificate of
each Class thereof may be issued in a different denomination. The Residual
Certificates will be issuable only in denominations representing Percentage
Interests of not less than 20% in the related Class.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by an authorized
officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the authorized officers of the Trustee 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
Certificate Registrar 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
accordance with the terms hereof)
136
<PAGE>
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
Master Servicer and the Special 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
predecessor's duties as Certificate Registrar. The Depositor, 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.
(b) (i) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless
such 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 a transfer by the Depositor or
an Affiliate thereof, then the Trustee shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, receipt by it and the Depositor of:
(A) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the Securities Act, a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring
to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1
hereto and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 hereto; and
(B) in all other cases, (1) a certificate from the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B-1 and a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3, and
(2) unless the Depositor directs otherwise, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such
transfer may be made without such registration (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, the Fiscal Agent or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).
(ii) None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of
Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law
or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate desiring to effect
such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Certificate Registrar against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
137
<PAGE>
(c) (i) No transfer of a Senior 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 Section 4975 of the
Code (each, a "Plan"), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan, unless: (1) such Plan
qualifies for the exemptive relief available under the terms of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption 94-29 (granted to certain affiliates of the Depositor) or
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 89-88, 90-83 or FAN 97-03-E (December 9, 1996)
granted to the underwriters of the Certificates and (2) at the time of such
transfer, the Senior Certificates continue to be rated in one of the top three
rating categories by at least one Rating Agency.
(ii) No transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate shall be made (A) to any
Plan or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan, unless the prospective transferee provides
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Master Servicer with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent
and the Master Servicer that such transfer is permissible under applicable law,
will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition
to those undertaken herein. In lieu of such opinion of counsel, the prospective
transferee of a Non-Registered Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate
may provide a certification of facts substantially to the effect that the
purchase of such Certificate by or on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of, any
Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, will
not subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Master Servicer
to any obligation in addition to those undertaken herein, and the following
conditions are met: (a) the source of funds used to purchase such Certificate is
an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in United States
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60"))
and (b) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied as of the date of the acquisition of such Certificates. Any purchaser
of Book-Entry Certificates will be deemed to have represented by such purchase
that either (a) such purchaser is not a Plan and is not purchasing such
Certificates by or on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of, any Plan or (b) the
purchase of any such Certificate by or on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of,
any Plan is permissible under applicable law, will not result in any non-exempt
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not
subject the Depositor, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Master Servicer to
any obligation in addition to those undertaken herein, and the following
conditions are met: (a) the source of funds used to purchase such Certificate is
an "insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60)
and (b) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied as of the date of the acquisition of such Certificates. The Trustee
may require that any prospective transferee of a Subordinated Certificate that
is held as a Definitive Certificate provide such certifications as the Trustee
may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such transferee or
the Person in whose name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a
Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of,
as named fiduciary
138
<PAGE>
of, as trustee of, or with "plan assets" of a Plan. The Trustee shall not have
any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of Ownership Interests in
any Certificates that are in the form of a Book-Entry Certificate.
(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 Trustee under clause (ii)(A) below to deliver
payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized
the Trustee 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 a United States
Person and shall promptly notify the Trustee 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 Trustee shall require delivery to it, and no
Transfer of any Residual Certificate shall be registered until the Trustee
receives, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the
proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
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,
that it is a United States Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Trustee has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is
not a United States Person, 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 Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or
is not a United States Person.
139
<PAGE>
(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 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, 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) or if any
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee
or a United States Person, 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, the Special
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), or if
any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted
Transferee or a United States Person, and to the extent that the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right, without notice to
the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms
as the Trustee may choose. Such non-complying Holder shall promptly endorse
and deliver such Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions
of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate
of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which
may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses
and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to such
non-complying Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
clause (ii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iii) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and
those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee,
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,
140
<PAGE>
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
not a Permitted Transferee. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be
responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Trustee for providing such
information.
(iv) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this
subsection (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there
shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor the following:
(A) written notification 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 qualify, downgrade or withdraw its then-current
rating of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that such modification of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any 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 which is not a Permitted Transferee.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate
Registrar 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 Trustee
shall execute and the Certificate Registrar 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 Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Trustee or 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.
141
<PAGE>
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall hold such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(j) Upon request, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor with an updated copy of the
Certificate Register on or about January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing
January 1, 2000.
SECTION 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) Each Class of Registered Certificates shall initially be issued as one
or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee
and, except as provided in subsection (c) below, transfer of such Certificates
may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such transfer is to a
successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such Certificate Owners
shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such
Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as
provided in subsection (c) below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility to monitor or restrict
the transfer of Ownership Interests in any Book-Entry Certificate. All transfers
by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures.
(b) The Trustee, the 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.
(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 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, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender
142
<PAGE>
to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer and any other documents necessary to satisfy the
requirements of any applicable transfer restrictions, the Trustee shall execute,
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the applicable
Definitive Certificates to the Certificate Owners identified in such
instructions. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions, and each 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 the Registered
Certificates held in book-entry form, 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.
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 Trustee shall execute, and the
Certificate Registrar 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, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.05 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of them may treat
the person in whose name such Certificate is registered as of the related Record
Date as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to
the extent provided in the definition of "Certificateholder", and none of the
Depositor, the 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 except as provided in Section 5.02(d).

enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) The Depositor, the Master Servicer and 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 and the Special Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and 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 that (i) such Person is qualified to service
multifamily mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC and (ii) such merger,
consolidation or succession will not result in the downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings of the Classes of Certificates that have
been so rated (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency).
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to
the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may assign all of its
rights and delegate all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement;
provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a

the case may be, under this Agreement; provided further that such assignment or
delegation will not result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the

evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency). In the case of
any such assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
144
<PAGE>
as the case may be, shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement,
except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it, or
arising from its conduct, hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions
to such assignment and delegation set forth in the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer may, in its sole discretion, appoint Sub-Servicers in
accordance with Section 3.22 hereof and independent contractors or agents to
perform select duties thereof, provided that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall not be relieved from such duties solely by virtue of such
appointment.
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund
or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such Person against
any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and 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 prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be indemnified by
the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates or any asset of the Trust Fund, other than any loss, liability or
expense specifically required to be borne by such Person pursuant to the terms
hereof, or which constitutes a Servicing Advance (and is otherwise specifically
reimbursable hereunder), or which is incurred by such Person by reason of such
Person's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such
Person's duties hereunder or by reason of such Person's reckless disregard of
obligations and 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 or
administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental
to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may
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, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
145
<PAGE>
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action,
proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall

Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the
Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a).

duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer or

servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with Section
7.02.

to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the

its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its
designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any

(b) If any Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer or the

the Trustee (if the termination is effected by the Depositor), all of the rights
and obligations of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than any rights of the Defaulting
Party as Certificateholder). From and after the receipt by the Defaulting Party
of such written notice, all authority and power of the Defaulting Party under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder
of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Defaulting Party, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect

148
<PAGE>
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's or Special
Servicer's, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer within two Business Days to the
Trustee or any other Successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should
have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the
Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, the REO Account or any Servicing
Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
each shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of Advances made by it or otherwise, and it and its directors, officers,
employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section
6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).
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 be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and
arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, without limitation,
the Master Servicer's obligation to make Delinquency Advances; provided that any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's failure to provide information or monies
required by Section 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or for any losses
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer 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 the
applicable Master Servicing Fee and Special Servicing Fee and all funds relating
to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would
have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or the Distribution
Account if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the
Trustee or if the Trustee is not approved as a master servicer or special
servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, promptly appoint any FNMA
or FHLMC-approved mortgage loan servicing institution that has a net worth of
not less than $10,000,000 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 result in the downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of its rating then assigned to any Class of Certificates), as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder shall be effective until the assumption
of the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, of all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
149
<PAGE>
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity
as hereinabove provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder. The
Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
SECTION 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 or any appointment of a successor to the

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 the Trustee would be
deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with
Section 8.02(vii), the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have
been cured.
SECTION 7.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders of Certificates representing at least 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 Default; provided, however, that an Event of
Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.01 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 the same Voting Rights with
respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held
such Certificates.

SECTION 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(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 (other than as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer) 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. Neither the Trustee, nor the Fiscal Agent shall
be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any other person 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 or the Fiscal Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful 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 and the Fiscal Agent shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be personally liable
for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of Holders of
151
<PAGE>
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.
SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent 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 and the
expense of such consultation with counsel shall be reimbursable under Section
8.05(b) hereof;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent (in their respective
capacities as such) shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts
or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters
arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or
in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor
the Fiscal Agent shall 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) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be personally liable
for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
50% of the Voting Rights;
152
<PAGE>
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 nor the Fiscal Agent may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved from such
duties, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of
any such agent;
(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates or this Agreement; and
(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall 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, as the case may
be) or of the Depositor or any other person.
SECTION 8.03 Trustee and Fiscal Agent not Liable for Validity or
Sufficiency of Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the
representations and warranties of, and the other statements attributed to the
Trustee in Sections 2.02, 2.05, 2.07 and 8.13 and the signature of the Trustee
set forth on each outstanding Certificate, shall be taken as the statements of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
and neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent assume responsibility for their
correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent make any representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (except to the extent 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.
Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust
Fund, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account or any
other account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be responsible
for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.
153
<PAGE>
SECTION 8.04 Trustee and the Fiscal Agent May Own Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in their 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 the Fiscal Agent.
SECTION 8.05 Fees and Expenses of Trustee; Indemnification of Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent.
(a) Monthly, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw the Trustee Fee from
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(b) for all services rendered
by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee. On or
prior to the Distribution Date in each month, the Trustee shall be entitled to
withdraw and pay itself from amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account
an amount equal to the then unpaid Trustee Fees.
(b) The Trustee, Fiscal Agent and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent and any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund (to
the extent of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account from time to time)
against any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, costs and
expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments
and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with,
any act or omission of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent relating to the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent hereunder; provided that neither the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent nor any of
the other above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this Section 8.05(b) for (i) allocable overhead, (ii) expenses or
disbursements incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent in the normal course of the Trustee's and the Fiscal Agent's performing
their routine duties in accordance with any of the provisions hereof, (iii) any
expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the
terms hereof, or (iv) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's
or Fiscal Agent's obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless
disregard of such obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent made herein.
The provisions of this Section 8.05(b) shall survive any resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee or fiscal agent.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
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
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
154
<PAGE>
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. The long-term unsecured debt obligations of
the Trustee shall at all times be rated not less than "Aa2" by Moody's, "AA" by
Standard & Poor's and "AA" by FITCH IBCA (or, if not rated by FITCH IBCA,
otherwise acceptable to FITCH IBCA as would not result in a qualification,
downgrade or withdrawal of the rating assigned by FITCH IBCA to any Class of
Certificates) or if and for so long as a Fiscal Agent is appointed and acting
hereunder, at least investment grade by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by
FITCH IBCA, otherwise acceptable to FITCH IBCA as would not result in a
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the rating assigned by FITCH IBCA to
any Class of Certificates); provided, that either the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent shall at all times be an institution whose long term senior unsecured debt
is rated not less than "AA" by Standard & Poor's "Aa2" by Moody and "AA" by
FITCH IBCA or such other rating as shall not result in the qualification,
downgrade or withdrawal of any of the ratings then assigned to the respective
Classes of Certificates, as confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency. In case
at any time the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
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 or the
Trustee appoints a fiscal agent, and if in light of such agreement or such
appointment, 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 or the effectiveness of
such appointment, 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 the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent.
(a) The Trustee or the Fiscal Agent 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 Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or fiscal agent acceptable to the
Master Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee or the Fiscal Agent 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. If no
successor trustee or fiscal agent shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee or the Fiscal Agent may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee or Fiscal Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor
155
<PAGE>
by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent or of its property shall
be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or Fiscal Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent and appoint a successor trustee or fiscal agent acceptable to the Master
Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee or Fiscal Agent so removed and to the successor trustee
or fiscal agent. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and appoint a
successor trustee or fiscal agent 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 Master Servicer.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and
appointment of a successor trustee or fiscal agent pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee or fiscal agent as provided in Section
8.08. Upon any succession of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent under this
Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to the
payment of compensation and reimbursement for services rendered and expenses
incurred (including without limitation unreimbursed Advances and interest
thereon made thereby) accrued or payable up to and including the effective date
of such termination, at such times and from such sources as if the predecessor
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent had not resigned or been removed. Any resignation or
removal of the Trustee shall be deemed to be a simultaneous removal of the
Fiscal Agent hereunder.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee and the Fiscal Agent.
(a) Any successor trustee or fiscal agent appointed as provided in Section
8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the 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 or fiscal agent shall become effective and such
successor trustee or fiscal agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as
trustee or fiscal agent herein. The predecessor trustee or fiscal agent shall
deliver to the successor trustee or fiscal agent 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 or fiscal agent 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,
156
<PAGE>
and to enable the successor trustee and fiscal agent, if applicable, to perform
its obligations hereunder.
(b) No successor trustee or fiscal agent shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee or fiscal agent 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, the successor trustee or fiscal agent shall mail notice of
such appointment to the Depositor and the Certificateholders.
SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee and the Fiscal Agent.
Any entity into which the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent
shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
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 fifteen 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
157
<PAGE>
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 exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section
8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.
SECTION 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, appoint one or
more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the
Trustee. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision
by federal or state authority, shall itself (or together with an affiliate
guaranteeing its financial performance) have a combined capital and surplus of
at least $15,000,000, shall have long-term unsecured debt obligation ratings
from FITCH IBCA of at least "BBB" or be otherwise acceptable to FITCH IBCA,
shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any
Mortgage File, shall maintain and keep in full force and effect throughout the
term of this Agreement a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance
policy covering its officers and employees and other persons acting on its
behalf in connection with its activities under the Agreement in the amount of
coverage customary for custodians acting in such capacity, and shall not be the
Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate of the Depositor or a
Mortgage Loan Seller. Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations
and standard of care as would be imposed on the Trustee hereunder in connection
with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Trustee. The appointment of
one or more Custodians shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations
hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions
of any Custodian.
158

SECTION 8.12 Access to Certain Information.
(a) On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Non-Registered
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor or its Affiliate in connection with the offer and
sale of the Class of Certificates to which such Non-Registered Certificate
belongs. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure
document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery
thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such
event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement
memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The
Trustee shall maintain at its offices primarily responsible for administering
the Trust Fund (or at the Primary Servicing Office of the Master Servicer) and
shall, upon reasonable advance notice, make available during normal business
hours for review by any Holder, Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a
Certificate or interest therein, originals or copies of the following items: (i)
in the case of a Holder, Certificate Owner or prospective transferee of a
Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein, any private placement memorandum
or other disclosure document relating to the Class of Certificates to which such
Non-Registered Certificate belongs, in the form most recently provided to the
Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereto
entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all reports required to be delivered
to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the

Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the
environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c) revealed that either of

was not satisfied (but only for so long as such Mortgaged Property or the
related Mortgage Loan are part of the Trust Fund), (H) the respective Mortgage
Files, including, without limitation, any and all modifications, waivers and

Event, and (J) any and all Officer's Certificates and other evidence delivered
to or retained by the Trustee to support the Master Servicer's, Special
Servicer's, or Trustee's or Fiscal Agent's determination that any Advance was

foregoing items will be available from the Trustee upon written request;
however, the Trustee shall be permitted to require from the requesting
Certificateholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and
expenses of providing such copies.
159
<PAGE>
In connection with providing access to or copies of the items described in
the preceding paragraph, the Trustee may require (a) in the case of Certificate
Owners, a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, generally to the effect that such Person
is a beneficial holder of Certificates, is requesting the information solely for
use in evaluating such Person's investment in the Certificates and will
otherwise keep such information confidential and (b) in the case of a
prospective purchaser, a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person,
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, generally to the effect that
such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein,
is requesting the information solely for use in evaluating a possible investment
in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential. All
Certificateholders, by the acceptance of their Certificates, shall be deemed to
have agreed to keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.12(a), the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency for any purpose of any information so
made available or furnished by it pursuant to this Section 8.12(a).

business hours at the offices of the Trustee designated by it.

Agent.

its own benefit and the benefit of the Certificateholders, and to the Special

existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee, and the

TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.02, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the Trustee (other than the obligations
of the Trustee to provide for and make payments to Certificateholders as
hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to
the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier
to occur of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I at a price (to be
determined as of the end of the Collection Period for the anticipated Final
Distribution Date) equal to (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage
Loans included in REMIC I, plus (B) the appraised value of each REO Property, if
any, included in REMIC I (such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent
MAI-designated appraiser selected by the Master Servicer and approved by the
Trustee), minus (C) solely in the case where the Master Servicer is effecting
such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, together with any
Advance Interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer in respect of such
Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, remaining outstanding (which items shall
be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection
with such purchase), and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; 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 Master Servicer or the Depositor each may, at its option, elect to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund as contemplated by clause (i) of the preceding paragraph by giving written
notice to the other parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the
anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the
Depositor may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of
such election is less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Preliminary Statement. Such option shall be
exercisable by each such Person in the priority in which such Person is listed
in the immediately foregoing sentence. In the event that the Master Servicer or
the Depositor purchases all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, shall deposit in the Distribution
Account not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the
Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to
occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described
purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof would
164
<PAGE>
be payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section
3.05(a) if on deposit in the Certificate Account, which portion shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall
transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred
thereto on such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Certificate Account
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would otherwise be held for
future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made,
the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans
and any Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in any Reserve Accounts or Servicing
Account, as applicable, and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as
applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I. All Credit Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be delivered to the purchasing entity.
Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter
to Certificateholders and, if not previously notified pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is
given in connection with the Master Servicer's or the Depositor's purchase of
all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I, not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will 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 such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
therein designated.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on
deposit in the Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class
to which the Certificates so presented and surrendered belong. Amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date (exclusive
of any portion of such amounts payable or reimbursable to any Person pursuant to
clauses (ii)-(vii) of Section 3.05(b)) shall be allocated for the purposes, in
the amounts and in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 4.01. Any
funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held
uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and
surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed
of in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 4.01(g).

SECTION 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer or the Depositor purchases all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I as provided in Section
9.01, the Trust Fund (and, accordingly, REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III) shall
be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless
the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, obtains at its own
expense and delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that the failure
of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(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;
(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) immediately following the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the related Class of Residual
Certificates all cash on hand in the related REMIC (other than cash
retained to meet claims), and 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 adopt a plan of complete liquidation 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 Trustee shall make an election 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
tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The REMIC I Regular Interests are hereby designated as
the
166
<PAGE>
"regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and
the Class R-I Certificates are hereby designated as the sole class of "residual
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I.
The REMIC II Regular Interests are hereby designated as the "regular interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the Class R-II
Certificates are hereby designated as the sole class of "residual interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II. The REMIC
III Regular Certificates are hereby designated as the "regular interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code) and the Class R-III
Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" (within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC III. The Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Trustee shall not (to the extent within the control of
each) permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G
of the Code) in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other than the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of each of
REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the
Code.
(c) The Trustee, as agent for the tax matters person of each of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMIC in relation to any
tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust
Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or
audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and
costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)
unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Trustee's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. In the case of each of REMIC I,
REMIC II and REMIC III, the Holder of Residual Certificates representing the
largest Percentage Interest in the related Class thereof shall be designated, in
the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary
Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of such
REMIC. By its acceptance thereof, the Holder of Residual Certificates
representing the largest Percentage Interest in each Class thereof hereby agrees
to irrevocably appoint the Trustee as its agent to perform all of the duties of
the tax matters person for the related REMIC created hereunder.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file, in a
timely manner, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with
respect to the Grantor Trust and each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of
preparing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual
Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of such Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee as provided in Section 5.02(d)(iii), (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name,
167
<PAGE>
title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(f) The Trustee shall take such actions and shall cause each REMIC created
hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably within the Trustee's control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be
necessary to maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.
The Trustee shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be
taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, could (i) adversely affect the status of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC or (ii) result (subject to the following
sentence) in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the
Trustee determines that taking such action is in the best interest of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust
Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC created hereunder
adversely affect such status or, unless the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or the
Special Servicer, as applicable (or other Person acceptable to the Trustee),
determine that the monetary exposure to REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III is not
material and in its or their sole discretion to indemnify, to the extent
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, the Trust Fund against the imposition of
such tax. Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken
because the timing of such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the
Trust Fund, or may only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such
action would not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be
taken provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with respect
to any taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all
other preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The
Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Master Servicer has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to the Trust Fund or its assets, or causing the Trust Fund to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, each
of the parties hereto will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing,
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, and such party shall not take
any such action, or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to take any such
action, as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written
advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the
action not expressly permitted by this Agreement. At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Trustee will to the extent within its control and the
scope of its duties as specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all
of the assets of REMIC I as "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
168
<PAGE>
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
"net income from foreclosure property" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, or on any contributions to REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d)
of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable
provisions of state or local laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to any other party hereto, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by such party of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, or (iii) otherwise (including, without limitation, in the
case of any tax permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 3.17(a)) against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.05(b).
(h) The Trustee 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 or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC
Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any
contributions of assets to the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such
contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund
will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and
local law or ordinances.
(j) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall
enter into any arrangement by which REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III will receive
a fee or other compensation for services nor (to the extent within its control)
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.
(k) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee 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 each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(l) None of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, or the
Special Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage
Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or
sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the
bankruptcy of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, (iii) the termination of the Trust
Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage
Loans pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03 or 3.18 of this Agreement)
or acquire any assets for the Trust Fund or sell or dispose of any investments
in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, or the REO Account for
gain, or accept any contributions to the Trust Fund after the Closing Date,
unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition,
substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC or, (b) subject to Section
169
<PAGE>
10.01(f), cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.02 Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Fiscal Agent,
Trustee to Cooperate.
(a) The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee,
within ten days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee

issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(b) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the
Depositor shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and
access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the
Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the
Trustee in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
SECTION 10.03 Grantor Trust Administration.

purposes, as a grantor trust under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable
state law and will file appropriate federal or state Tax Returns for each
taxable year ending on or after the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued.
(b) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax
administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor
Trust (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or
any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund 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 unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).
(c) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file when due all of the Tax
Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement
therefor. The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the
Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust as is
in its possession and reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to
perform its obligations under this Section 10.02. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten days following the
Trustee's request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Trustee such
information as is reasonably requested by the Trustee for tax purposes, and the
Trustee's duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations
under this Section 10.02 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.
(d) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust all reporting
and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the
Code, the Grantor Trust

Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service

Provisions (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall assist the
Trustee to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee 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 Trustee, Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust to take) any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the
Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could
adversely affect the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the
Grantor Trust Provisions (any such adverse effect on grantor trust status, an
"Adverse Grantor Trust Event"), unless the Trustee 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 Trustee seeks to take such action or to refrain
from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event.
None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised
it in writing that the Trustee has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or
failure to act. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the
Grantor Trust, or causing the Trust Fund 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 Trustee or its designee, in writing,
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event
to occur. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any
liability hereunder for any action taken by it in accordance with the written
instructions of the Trustee. The Trustee 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. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Grantor Trust Assets shall not be subject to any
expenses, costs or other charges that are attributable to the assets or
activities of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III.
(f) If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust, 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 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 Section 10.02; (ii)
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 Section
10.02; (iii) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this
Section 10.02; or (iv) the portion of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor
Trust in all other instances.
(g) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and
records with respect to the Grantor Trust on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.

(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(d) or any
other provision hereof restricting transfer of the Residual Certificates by
virtue of their being the REMIC "residual interests," provided that such change

any of the Certificateholders (other than the transferor) to be subject to a
federal tax caused by a transfer to a Person that is not a United States Person
and a Permitted Transferee, or
(vi) to modify, eliminate or add any provision to this Agreement to provide

payments which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the
Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, in any such
case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding; or
(iii) modify the definition of "Servicing Standard" without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee will not be entitled to
consent to any amendment hereto without having first received an Opinion or
Opinions of Counsel to the effect that (i) such amendment is permitted pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) such amendment or the exercise of any
power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not
result in the imposition of a tax on REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III pursuant to
the REMIC Provisions or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify
as a REMIC.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish a statement describing the amendment 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.

herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this

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 Principal Prepayments received prior to

and the Distribution Account and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, 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 E hereto in all appropriate
locations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 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
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
176
<PAGE>
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 applicable Uniform Commercial Code.
SECTION 11.08 Successors and Assigns; Beneficiaries.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns
and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. No
other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to
any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of May 25, 1999, between GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation as
seller (the "Seller" or "GMACCM") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.
as purchaser (the "Purchaser").
The Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule"). Certain other multi family and commercial mortgage
loans will be purchased by the Purchaser from (i) Column Financial, Inc.
("Column") pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25,1999 (the "Column Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement") between the Purchaser and Column, (ii) German American
Capital Corporation ("GACC"), pursuant to, and for the consideration described
in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GACC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Purchaser and GACC and (iii)
Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company ("GSMC") pursuant to, and for the consideration
described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999
(the "GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement") between the Purchaser and GSMC
(the mortgage loans purchased by the Purchaser under the Column Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the GSMC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the "Other Mortgage Loans"). The Seller,
Column, GACC and GSMC are collectively referred to as the "Mortgage Loan
Sellers."
It is expected that the Mortgage Loans will be transferred, together with
other multifamily and commercial mortgage loans to a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") to be formed by the Purchaser, beneficial ownership of which will be
evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the
"Certificates"). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch IBCA, Inc.
(together, the "Rating Agencies"). Certain classes of the Certificates (the
"Registered Certificates") will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust Fund will be created and the
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be
dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation as master servicer
(in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and special servicer (in such
capacity, the "Special Servicer"), LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee
(in such capacity, the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as fiscal agent.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to
them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date.
<PAGE>
The Purchaser intends to sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class X Certificates to Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman,
Sachs & Co., (together, the "Underwriters") pursuant to an underwriting
agreement dated the date hereof (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Purchaser
intends to sell the Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class
M and Class N Certificates to Commercial Asset Trading Inc. (in such capacity,
an "Initial Purchaser") pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement dated the
date hereof (the "Certificate Purchase Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to
sell the Class R-I, Class R-II and the Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse
First Boston Corporation (in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser"). The Class
H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class
R-III Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Non-Registered
Certificates."
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans. The
purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 25, 1999 or such
other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing
Date"). The "Cut-off Date" with respect to any Mortgage Loan is the Due Date for
such Mortgage Loan in June 1999. As of the close of business on their respective
Cut-off Dates (which Cut-off Dates may occur after the Closing Date), the
Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance (the "Aggregate Cut-off
Date Balance"), after application of all payments of principal due thereon on or
before such date, whether or not received, of $[___________] subject to a
variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be
$________________.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the Seller
of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof (exclusive of any
applicable holdback for transaction expenses), 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 Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date, including all
interest and principal received or receivable by the Seller on or with respect
to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan, together
with all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any
related title, hazard, or other insurance policies and any escrow, reserve or
other comparable accounts related to the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall be
entitled to (and, to the extent received by or on behalf of the Seller, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to or at the direction of the
Purchaser) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage
Loans after the Cut-off Date for each Mortgage Loan, and all other recoveries of
principal and interest collected thereon after such Cut-off Date. All scheduled
2
<PAGE>
payments of principal and interest due thereon on or before the Cut-off Date for
each Mortgage Loan and collected after such Cut-off Date shall belong to the
Seller.
(b) In connection with the Seller's assignment pursuant to subsection (a)
above, the Seller hereby agrees that, at least five (5) Business Days before the
Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B hereto) for each Mortgage Loan so
assigned. It is further acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the Purchaser
intends to cause the Trustee to perform a limited review of such Mortgage Files
to enable the Trustee to confirm to the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date
that the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i) of Exhibit B has been delivered
by the Seller with respect to each such Mortgage File. In the event Seller fails
to so deliver each such Mortgage File to the Trustee, the Purchaser and its
successors and assigns shall be entitled to pursue any rights or remedies in
respect of such failure as may be available under applicable law. If the Seller
cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered as to any Mortgage Loan, the original
Mortgage Note, the Seller shall deliver a copy or duplicate original of such
Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof
has been lost or destroyed. If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be
delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of any of the
documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (viii), (xi)(A)
and (xii) of Exhibit B, with evidence of recording thereon, solely because of a
delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or
instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such
original recorded document has been lost or returned from the recording or
filing office and subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery
requirements of this Section 2(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to
such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included
in the related Mortgage File, provided that a copy of such document or
instrument (without evidence of recording or filing thereon, but certified
(which certificate may relate to multiple documents and/or instruments) by the
Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for
recording or filing, as the case may be) has been delivered to the Trustee, and
either the original of such missing document or instrument, or a copy thereof,
with evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, is delivered
to or at the direction of the Purchaser(or any subsequent owner of the affected
Mortgage Loan, including without limitation the Trustee) within 180 days of the
Closing Date (or within such longer period after the Closing Date as the
Purchaser (or such subsequent owner) may consent to, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld so long as the Seller has provided the Purchaser (or such
subsequent owner) with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may be,
or has certified to the Purchaser (or such subsequent owner) as to the
occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as certified
to the Purchaser (or such subsequent owner) no less often than quarterly, in
good faith attempting to obtain from the appropriate county recorder's or filing
office such original or copy). If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be
delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related
lender's title insurance policy referred to in clause (ix) of Exhibit B solely
because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of this
Section 2(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such
missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File,
provided that the Seller has delivered to the Trustee a commitment for title
insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan, and the Seller shall
deliver to or at the direction of the Purchaser
3
<PAGE>
(or any subsequent owner of the affected Mortgage Loan, including without
limitation the Trustee), promptly following the receipt thereof, the original
related lender's title insurance policy (or a copy thereof). In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if there exists with
respect to any group of related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans only one
original of any document referred to in Exhibit B covering all the Mortgage
Loans in such group, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the
Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall be deemed an
inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan. On
the Closing Date, upon notification from the Seller that the purchase price
referred to in Section 1 (exclusive of any applicable holdback for transaction
expenses) has been received by the Seller, the Trustee shall be authorized to
release to the Purchaser or its designee all of the Mortgage Files in the
Trustee's possession relating to the Mortgage Loans.
(c) As to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs
associated with (i) the recording or filing, as the case may be, of each
assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (v) of Exhibit B and each UCC-2 and
UCC-3, if any, referred to in clause (xi)(B) of Exhibit B and (ii) the delivery
of a copy of any such document or instrument to the Master Servicer promptly
following its return to the Trustee or its designee after such recording or
filing; provided that the Seller shall not be responsible for actually recording
or filing any such document or instrument. If any such document or instrument is
lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may
be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at
the direction of the Purchaser (or any subsequent owner of the affected Mortgage
Loan, including without limitation the Trustee) for recording or filing, as
appropriate, at the Seller's expense.
(d) All documents and records in the Seller's possession (or under its
control) relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not required to be a part of a
Mortgage File in accordance with Exhibit B (all such other documents and
records, as to any Mortgage Loan, the "Servicing File"), together with all
escrow payments, reserve funds and other comparable funds in the possession of
the Seller (or under its control) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
(unless they are held by a sub-servicer that shall, as of the Closing Date,
begin acting on behalf of the Master Servicer pursuant to a written agreement
between such parties) be delivered by the Seller (or its agent) to the Purchaser
(or its designee) no later than the Closing Date. If a sub-servicer shall, as of
the Closing Date, begin acting on behalf of the Master Servicer with respect to
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to a written agreement between such parties, the
Seller shall deliver a copy of the related Servicing File to the Master
Servicer.
(e) The Seller's records will reflect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser as a sale.

SECTION 3. Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.
The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the
Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct
any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files and/or Servicing Files
shall not affect the Purchaser's right to pursue any remedy available in equity
or at law for a breach of the Seller's representations, warranties and covenants
set forth in or contemplated by Section 4.
SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.
(a) The Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other
date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and
for the benefit of the Purchaser, and its successors and assigns (including,
without limitation, the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates), each of
the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, with such changes or
modifications as may be permitted or required by the Rating Agencies.
(b) In addition, the Seller, as of the date hereof, hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser that:
(i) The Seller is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is in
compliance with the laws of each State in which any Mortgaged Property is
located to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each
Mortgage Loan and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
Seller, will not violate the Seller's organizational documents 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, in each case which materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Seller to carry out the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(iii) The Seller 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 Purchaser, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with
the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, (B) general principles of equity, regardless
of
5
<PAGE>
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law,
and (C) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the
extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of
the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide indemnification
for securities laws liabilities.
(v) The Seller 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 Seller's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect
materially and adversely either the ability of the Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Seller.
(vi) No litigation is pending with regard to which Seller has received
service of process or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, threatened
against the Seller the outcome of which, in the Seller's good faith and
reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to prohibit the Seller
from entering into this Agreement or materially and adversely affect the
ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(vii) The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent or other person, other than the Purchaser, the Underwriters, the
Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to
any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage
Loans or the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated
hereby.
(viii) Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has (A)
offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security
to any person in any manner, (B) solicited any offer to buy or to accept a
pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in
any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any
manner, (C) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security
with any person in any manner, (D) made any general solicitation by means
of general advertising or in any other manner with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any similar security, or
(E) taken any other action, that (in the case of any of the acts described
in clauses (A) through (E) above) would constitute or result in a violation
of the Securities Act or any state securities law relating to or in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates or require registration or
qualification pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities law of
any Certificate not otherwise intended to be a Registered Certificate. In
addition, the Seller will not act, nor has it authorized or will it
authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing
sentence with respect to any of the Certificates or interests therein. For
purposes of this paragraph 4(b)(viii), the term "similar security" shall be
deemed to include, without limitation, any security evidencing or, upon
issuance, that would have evidenced
6
<PAGE>
an interest in the Mortgage Loans or the Other Mortgage Loans or any
substantial number thereof.
(ix) Insofar as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and the Other
Mortgage Loans, the information set forth on pages A-7 through A-9,
inclusive, of Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement (as defined in Section
9) (the "Loan Detail") and, to the extent consistent therewith, the
information set forth on the diskette attached to the Prospectus Supplement
and the accompanying prospectus (the "Diskette"), is true and correct in
all material respects. Insofar as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and the
Other Mortgage Loans and/or the Seller and does not represent a restatement
of the information on the Loan Detail, the information set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement and the Memorandum (as defined in Section 9) under
the headings "Summary--The Mortgage Pool", "Risk Factors" and "Description
of the Mortgage Pool", set forth on Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement
and (to the extent it contains information consistent with that on such
Annex A) set forth on the Diskette, does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or (in the case of the Memorandum, when read together
with the other information specified therein as being available for review
by investors) omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(x) 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 (including, with respect to any bulk sale laws),
for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by the Seller
with this Agreement, or the consummation by the Seller of any transaction
contemplated hereby, other than (1) the filing or recording of financing
statements, instruments of assignment and other similar documents necessary
in connection with Seller's sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser,
(2) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (3)
where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification,
registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on
the performance by the Seller under this Agreement.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to and set forth in subsection (b)
above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser or a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made pursuant to subsection
(a) above and set forth in Exhibit C which materially and adversely affects the
value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the Purchaser or its
successors and assigns (including, without limitation the Trustee and the
holders of the Certificates), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other party hereto.

(a) The Purchaser, as of the date hereof, hereby represents and warrants
to, and covenants with, the Seller that:
(i) The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of State of Delaware.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser,
and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
Purchaser, will not violate the Purchaser's organizational documents 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 Purchaser 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 Seller, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation
of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Purchaser to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of
the Purchaser.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Purchaser's
knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser which would prohibit the
Purchaser from entering into this Agreement or, in the Purchaser's good
faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect
either the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or the financial condition of the Purchaser.
(vii) The Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent or other person, other than the Seller, the Underwriters, the Initial
Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to any

8
<PAGE>

of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(viii) 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 of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement, or the
consummation by the Purchaser of any transaction contemplated hereby, other
than (1) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (2)
where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification,
registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on
the performance by the Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Seller, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party hereto.
SECTION 6. Repurchases.
(a) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice by the
Seller, from either the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, of a
Defect (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date) in respect of the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or a breach
of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 4(a) and set forth in
Exhibit C (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially
and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
the Purchaser or its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the
Trustee and the holders of the Certificates), the Seller shall cure such Defect
or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the applicable Purchase
Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date) by payment of such Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account designated by such owner(s); provided, however,
that in lieu of effecting any such repurchase, the Seller will be permitted to
deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to pay a cash amount equal to
the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the Closing
Date.
If the Seller is notified of a Defect in any Mortgage File that corresponds
to information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Seller shall
promptly correct such Defect and provide a new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Purchaser, which corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be deemed to
amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan Schedule for all purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), within 60 days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of notice by the Seller, from either the Purchaser or any
successor or assign thereof, that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
9
<PAGE>
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan
from the then owner(s) thereof at the applicable Purchase Price by payment of
such Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account designated by such owner(s).
In addition, if, as of the Closing Date, any Mortgage Loan is secured by a
Mortgage that does not constitute a valid first lien upon the related Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings located thereon and all fixtures attached
thereto, or if a Mortgage is subject to something other than (A) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record, (C) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to
in the lender's title insurance policy issued or, as evidenced by a "marked-up"
commitment, to be issued in respect of such Mortgage Loan and (D) those
exceptions set forth on Schedule C-1 to Exhibit C hereto (the exceptions set
forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) collectively, "Permitted
Encumbrances"), or if the insurer that issued the Title Policy referred to in
clause (vi) of Exhibit C hereto in respect of any Mortgage Loan was not
qualified to do business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located, and in either case such failure materially and adversely affects the
interests of holders of Certificates, (any such failure that materially and
adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates, also a "Breach"),
the Seller shall be required, at its option, to either (i) cure such Breach in
all material respects or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan, in each
case, within the applicable Permitted Cure Period (as defined below). If any
such Breach is not corrected or cured in all material respects within the
applicable Permitted Cure Period, the Seller shall, not later than the last day
of such Permitted Cure Period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from
the Purchaser or its assignee at the applicable Purchase Price or (ii) if within
the three-month period commencing on the closing date (or within the two-year
period commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a
"defective obligation" within the meaning of Section 860(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at its option, replace such
Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay any
corresponding Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Seller agrees that any such
repurchase or substitution shall be completed in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph only, the "Permitted Cure Period"
applicable to any Breach in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be the 90-day
period immediately following the earlier of the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice of such Breach; provided that if such Breach
cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period,
but is reasonably likely that such Breach could be corrected or cured within 180
days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller and receipt by the Seller of
notice of such Breach and the Seller is diligently attempting to effect such
correction or cure, then the applicable Permitted Cure Period shall, with the
consent of the Purchaser or its assignee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), be extended for an additional 90 days.
(c) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 6, the then owner(s) thereof shall tender or
cause to be tendered promptly to the Seller, upon delivery of a receipt executed
by the Seller, the related Mortgage
10
<PAGE>
File and Servicing File, and each document that constitutes a part of the
Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Purchaser or the Trustee
shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be, to the Seller or its designee
in the same manner. The form and sufficiency of all such instruments and
certificates shall be the responsibility of the Seller.
(d) Except as provided in Section 2(b), this Section 6 provides the sole
remedies available to the Purchaser, and its successors and assigns (including,
without limitation, the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates) respecting
any Defect in a Mortgage File or any breach of any representation or warranty
made pursuant to Section 4(a) and set forth in Exhibit C, or in connection with
the circumstances described in Section 6(b). If the Seller defaults on its
obligations to repurchase any Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 6(a) or
6(b) or disputes its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan in accordance
with either such subsection, the Purchaser or its successors and assigns may
take such action as is appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of appropriate
proceedings. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all necessary and
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such enforcement.
SECTION 7. Closing.
The closing of the sale of the Mortgage Loans (the "Closing") shall be held
at the offices of Mayer, Brown & Platt, 1675 Broadway, New York, New York 10019
at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.
The Closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(i) All of the representations and warranties of the Seller
specified herein shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, and
the Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance shall be within the range permitted
by Section 1 of this Agreement;
(ii) All documents specified in Section 8 (the "Closing
Documents"), in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the
Purchaser, shall be duly executed and delivered by all signatories as
required pursuant to the respective terms thereof;
(iii) The Seller shall have delivered and released to the
Trustee, the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee, as the case may
be, all documents and funds required to be so delivered pursuant to
Section 2;
(iv) The result of any examination of the Mortgage Files and
Servicing Files performed by or on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 3 shall be satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole
determination;
(v) All other terms and conditions of this Agreement required to
be complied with on or before the Closing Date shall have been
complied with, and the Seller shall
11
<PAGE>
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;
(vi) The Seller shall have paid or agreed to pay all fees, costs
and expenses payable by it to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement; and
(vii) Neither the Underwriting Agreement nor the Certificate
Purchase Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its
terms.
Both parties agree to use their best efforts to perform their respective
obligations hereunder in a manner that will enable the Purchaser to purchase the
Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date.
SECTION 8. Closing Documents.
The Closing Documents shall consist of the following:
(a) This Agreement duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and the
Seller;
(b) An Officer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1
hereto, executed by the Secretary or an assistant secretary of the Seller, and
dated the Closing Date, and upon which the Purchaser and each Underwriter may
rely, attaching thereto as exhibits the organizational documents of the Seller;
(c) A certificate of good standing regarding the Seller from the Secretary
of State for the State of California, dated not earlier than 30 days prior to
the Closing Date;
(d) A certificate of the Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2
hereto, executed by an executive officer or authorized signatory of the Seller
and dated the Closing Date, and upon which the Purchaser and each Underwriter
may rely;
(e) Written opinions of counsel for the Seller, substantially in the form
of Exhibits D-3A and D-3B hereto and subject to such reasonable assumptions and
qualifications as may be requested by counsel for the Seller and acceptable to
counsel for the Purchaser, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Purchaser
and each Underwriter;
(f) Any other opinions of counsel for the Seller reasonably requested by
the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, each of
which shall include the Purchaser and each Underwriter as an addressee; and
(g) Such further certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser may
reasonably request.
12
<PAGE>
SECTION 9. Indemnification.
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its
officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange 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 Securities Act, the Exchange
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) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in 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 Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets with respect to the Registered Certificates, or in
any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission (in the case of any such
Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets, when read in conjunction with the
Prospectus and, in the case of the Memorandum, when read together with the other
information specified therein as being available for review by investors) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; but only if and to the extent that (i) any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement is with respect to information regarding
the Mortgage Loans or the Other Mortgage Loans contained in the Loan Detail or,
to the extent consistent therewith, the Diskette, or (ii) any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is with
respect to information regarding the Seller or the Mortgage Loans or the Other
Mortgage Loans contained in the Prospectus Supplement or the Memorandum under
the headings "Summary -- The Mortgage Pool", "Risk Factors" and/or "Description
of the Mortgage Pool" or contained on Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement
(exclusive of the Loan Detail), and such information does not represent a
restatement of information contained in the Loan Detail; or (iii) such untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, 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 4; provided, that the indemnification
provided by this Section 9 shall not apply to the extent that such untrue
statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading, was made as a result of an error in the manipulation of, or
calculations based upon, the Loan Detail. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have.
For purposes of the foregoing, "Registration Statement" shall mean the
registration statement No. 333-64963 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 November 5,
1998, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated May 25, 1999 (the
"Prospectus Supplement"), relating to the Registered Certificates; "Memorandum"
shall mean the private placement memorandum dated May 25, 1999, relating to the
Non-Registered Certificates; "Computational Materials" shall have the meaning
assigned thereto in the no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by the
Division of Corporation Finance
13
<PAGE>
of the Securities and 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"); and "ABS Term Sheets"
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").
(b) Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification under
this Section 9 (each, 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 9, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission
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 9. 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 to assume the defense of such action and approval by the
indemnified party of counsel, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
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 and the indemnifying party,
representing all the indemnified parties under Section 9(a) who are parties to
such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably 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 9 is due in
accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be
unavailable to an indemnified party on grounds of policy or otherwise, 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
14
<PAGE>
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 9(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 9(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 9 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 9, 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 Securities 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 9
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by any indemnified
party, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
SECTION 10. Costs.
Costs relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by
the respective parties hereto.
SECTION 11. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed, by
registered mail, postage prepaid, by overnight mail or courier service, or
transmitted by facsimile and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the

SECTION 12. Third Party Beneficiaries.
Each of the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in
Section 9 hereof is an intended third party beneficiary of the covenants and
indemnities of the Seller set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement. It is
acknowledged and agreed that such covenants and indemnities may be enforced by
or on behalf of any such person or entity against the Seller to the same extent
as if it was a party hereto.
SECTION 13. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement,

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
REGARDING THE INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller hereby represents and
warrants, as of the date hereinbelow specified or, if no such date is specified,
as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule C-1 hereto, that:
(i) Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer thereof
to the Purchaser, the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole
owner and holder of, such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens,
encumbrances and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other than, in
certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service such Mortgage
Loan). Such transfer validly assigns ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest.
(ii) Authority to Transfer Mortgage Loans. The Seller has full right and
authority to sell, assign and transfer such Mortgage Loan. 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.
(iii) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule was true and correct in all
material respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(iv) Payment Record. Such Mortgage Loan was not as of the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan, and has not been during the twelve-month period prior
thereto, 30 days or more delinquent in respect of any debt service payment
required thereunder, without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
(v) Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement of which this Exhibit C forms a part) do not
materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by the related
Mortgage, the current use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the
current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net operating income
sufficient to service the Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is operated
as a nursing facility, a hospitality property or a multifamily property, the
Mortgage, together with any separate security agreement, similar agreement and
UCC financing statement, if any, establishes and creates a first priority,
perfected security interest (subject only to any prior purchase money security
interest), to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the
recordation of a Mortgage or the filing of a UCC financing statement, in all
personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is used in, and is reasonably
necessary to, the operation of the related Mortgaged Property.
C-1
<PAGE>
(vi) Title Insurance. The lien of the related Mortgage is insured by an
ALTA lender's title insurance policy ("Title Policy"), or its equivalent as
adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, issued by a nationally recognized title
insurance company, insuring the originator of such Mortgage Loan, its successors
and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, subject
only to Permitted Encumbrances (or, if a title insurance policy has not yet been
issued in respect of the Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the foregoing
description is evidenced by a commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the
closing of such loan). Each Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the
coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums
thereon have been paid and, to the Seller's knowledge, no material claims have
been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. The Seller has
not, by act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage
under such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of
the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet
to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of
the Trustee without the consent of or notice to the insurer.
(vii) No Waivers by Seller of Material Defaults. The Seller has not waived
any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under
the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
(viii) No Offsets, Defenses or Counterclaims. There is no valid offset,
defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan.
(ix) Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in any
engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of (or obtained
in connection with or otherwise following the Seller's acquisition of) such
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Seller's knowledge,
free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its
value as security for such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has no actual notice of the
commencement of a proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion
of the related Mortgaged Property.
(x) Compliance with Usury Laws. Such Mortgage Loan complied with all
applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
(xi) Full Disbursement of Mortgage Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of such
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder.
(xii) Enforceability. The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and all other
documents and instruments evidencing, guaranteeing, insuring or otherwise
securing such Mortgage Loan have been duly and properly executed by the parties
thereto, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the
foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency legislation),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or
other laws relating to or affecting the rights of
C-2
<PAGE>
creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(xiii) Insurance. All improvements upon the related Mortgaged Property are
insured under an "all risk" insurance policy against loss by hazards of extended
coverage in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the
full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on such Mortgaged
Property, which policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the
application of coinsurance and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds
for depreciation. If any portion of the improvements upon the related Mortgaged
Property was, at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in a flood
zone area as identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as a 100 year flood zone or special hazard area, and flood
insurance was available, a flood insurance policy meeting any requirements of
the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of
such Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of such Mortgaged Property, (3)
the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968, as amended, or (4) 100% of the replacement cost of the improvements
located on such Mortgaged Property. In addition, the Mortgage requires the
Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the Mortgaged Property workers' compensation
insurance (if applicable), comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts
generally required by the Seller, and at least twelve months rental or business
interruption insurance, and all such insurance required by the Mortgage to be
maintained is in full force and effect. Each such insurance policy names the
holder of the Mortgage as an additional insured or contains a mortgagee
endorsement naming the holder of the Mortgage as loss payee and requires prior
notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation, and no such
notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that
has not been cured.
(xiv) Environmental Condition. The related Mortgaged Property was subject
to one or more environmental site assessments (or an update of a previously
conducted assessment), which was (were) performed on behalf of the Seller, or as
to which the related report was delivered to the Seller in connection with its
origination or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan; and the Seller, having made no
independent inquiry other than reviewing the resulting report(s) and/or
employing an environmental consultant to perform the assessment(s) referenced
herein, has no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental conditions or
circumstance affecting such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the
related report(s). The Seller has not taken any action with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that could subject the
Purchaser, or its successors and assigns in respect of the Mortgage Loan, to any
liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA") or any other applicable federal,
state or local environmental law, and the Seller has not received any actual
notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or
local environmental law with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that was
not disclosed in the related report. The related Mortgage or loan documents in
the related Mortgage File requires the Mortgagor to comply with all applicable
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
C-3
<PAGE>
(xv) No Cross-Collateralization with Other Mortgage Loans. Such Mortgage
Loan is not cross-collateralized with any mortgage loan that will not be
included in the Trust Fund.
(xvi) Waivers and Modifications. The terms of the related Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related Mortgage File.
(xvii) Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents,
assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to
or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this
representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be
considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be
payable thereon.
(xviii) Mortgagor's Interest in Mortgaged Property. Except in the case of
[______] Mortgage Loans as to which the interest of the related Mortgagor in the
related Mortgaged Property is in whole or in part a leasehold estate, the
interest of the related Mortgagor in the related Mortgaged Property consists of
a fee simple estate in real property.
(xix) Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a
participation interest.
(xx) Valid Assignment. The assignment of the related Mortgage referred to
in clause (iii) of Exhibit B constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment
of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the Trustee. The Assignment of
Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and
related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a valid, subsisting and, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances,
enforceable first priority lien and first priority security interest in the
related Mortgagor's interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other
agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess
all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, and
each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related
assignment of any Assignment of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and
delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein
all of the assignor's right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment
of Leases.
(xxi) Escrows. All escrow deposits relating to such Mortgage Loan that are,
as of the Closing Date, required to be deposited with the mortgagee or its agent
have been so deposited.
(xxii) No Mechanics' or Materialmen's Liens. As of the date of origination
of such Mortgage Loan and, to the actual knowledge of the Seller, as of the
Closing Date, the related Mortgaged Property was and is free and clear of any
mechanics' and materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof which create a
lien prior to that created by the related Mortgage, except those which are
insured against by the Title Policy referred to in (vi) above.
C-4
<PAGE>
(xxiii) No Material Encroachments. 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 any material
extent (unless affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in
paragraph (vi) above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached
upon such Mortgaged Property to any material extent. To the Seller's knowledge,
based upon opinions of counsel and/or other due diligence customarily performed
by the Seller, the improvements located on or forming part of such Mortgaged
Property comply in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and
ordinances (except to the extent that they may constitute legal non-conforming
uses).
(xxiv) Originator Authorized. To the extent required under applicable law
as of the Closing Date, the originator of such Mortgage Loan was authorized to
do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located at all times when it held the Mortgage Loan to the extent necessary to
ensure the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan.
(xxv) No Material Default. (A) To the Seller's knowledge, there exists no
material default, breach or event of acceleration under the related Mortgage or
Mortgage Note, and (B) the Seller has not received actual notice of any event
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time
or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
such a material default, breach or event of acceleration; provided, however,
that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or
event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered
or addressed by any other representation and warranty made by the Seller herein.
(xxvi) Inspection. In connection with the origination or acquisition of
each Mortgage Loan, the Seller inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged
Property.
(xxvii) No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. The Mortgage Loan
contains no equity participation by the lender, and does not provide for any
contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow
of the related Mortgaged Property, or for negative amortization.
(xxviii) No Advances of Funds. No holder of the Mortgage Loan has, to the
Seller's knowledge, advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the
Mortgage Loan.
(xxix) Licenses, Permits, Etc. To the Seller's knowledge, based on due
diligence customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgagor or operator of the related Mortgaged Property was in possession of all
material licenses, permits and authorizations required
C-5
<PAGE>
by applicable laws for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged
Property as it was then operated.
(xxx) Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used with respect
to the Mortgage Loan have complied with applicable law in all material respects
and are consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(xxxi) Customary Remedies. The related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, together
with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions
(subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (xii)) such as to render the
rights and remedies of the holders thereof adequate for the practical
realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of
the security intended to be provided thereby.
(xxxii) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. The related Mortgage provides
that insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds will be applied for one of the
following purposes: either to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property, or to
repay the principal of the Mortgage Loan, or otherwise at the option of the
holder of the Mortgage.
(xxxiii) LTV. The gross proceeds of such Mortgage Loan to the related
Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan and either: (A) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest
in real property having a fair market value (1) at the date the Mortgage Loan
was originated at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan or (2) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80 percent of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan on such date; provided that for purposes
hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be
reduced by (X) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is
senior to the Mortgage Loan and (Y) a proportionate amount of any lien that is
in parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan
that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the
computation described in clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph (xxxiii) shall be
made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the fair market values of the
Mortgaged Properties securing such cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans; or (B)
substantially all the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire,
improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such
Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third party credit
enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)).
(xxxiv) LTV and Significant Modifications. If the Mortgage Loan was
"significantly modified" prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (A) was modified as a result
of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (B)
satisfies the provisions of either clause (A)(1) of paragraph (xxxiii)
(substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage
Loan was originated) or clause (A)(2) of paragraph (xxxiii), including the
proviso thereto.
(xxxv) Credit Lease Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is a
Credit Lease Loan:
C-6
<PAGE>
(A) To the Seller's knowledge, each credit lease ("Credit Lease") contains
customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and
remedies of the lessor thereunder adequate for the enforcement and
satisfaction of the lessor's rights thereunder;
(B) To the Seller's knowledge, in reliance on a tenant estoppel
certificate and representation made by the tenant under the Credit
Lease or representations made by the related borrower under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, as of the closing date of each Credit Lease
Loan (1) each Credit Lease was in full force and effect, and no
default by the borrower or the tenant has occurred under the Credit
Lease, nor is there any existing condition which, but for the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in a default
under the terms of the Credit Lease, (2) none of the terms of the
Credit Lease have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect (except as described in the related tenant estoppel), (3) no
tenant has been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations
under the Credit Leases, (4) there is no right of rescission, offset,
abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim to any Credit Lease,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Credit Leases, or
the exercise of any rights thereunder, render the Credit Lease
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, offset, abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim,
and no such right of rescission, offset, abatement, diminution,
defense or counterclaim has been asserted with respect thereto, and
(5) each Credit Lease has a term ending on or after the final maturity
of the related Credit Lease Loan;
(C) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any lease other than the
related Credit Lease, no Person has any possessory interest in, or
right to occupy, the Mortgaged Property except under and pursuant to
such Credit Lease and the tenant under the related Credit Lease is in
occupancy of the Mortgaged Property;
(D) The lease payments under the related Credit Lease are sufficient to
pay the entire amount of scheduled interest and principal on the
Credit Lease Loan, subject to the rights of the Tenant to terminate
the Credit Lease or offset, abate, suspend or otherwise diminish any
amounts payable by the tenant under the Credit Lease. Each Credit
Lease Loan either (i) fully amortizes over its original term and has
no "balloon" payment of rent due under the related Credit Lease or
(ii) is a Balloon Loan, for which a residual value insurance policy
has been obtained that requires the payment of an amount at least
equal to the Balloon Payment due on the related Maturity Date;
(E) Under the terms of the Credit Leases, the lessee is not permitted to
assign its interest or obligations under the Credit Lease unless such
lessee remains fully liable thereunder;
C-7
<PAGE>
(F) The mortgagee is entitled to notice of any event of default from the

terminated upon the occurrence of a casualty or condemnation, a lease
enhancement insurance policy has been obtained that requires upon such
termination the payment in full of: (a) the principal balance of the
loan and (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan.
Under the Credit Lease for each Credit Lease Loan, upon the occurrence
of a casualty or condemnation, the tenant has no right of rent
abatement, except to the extent of coverage provided by the related
lease enhancement insurance policy;
(J) The terms of any guaranty of the payment and performance obligations
of the tenant under any Credit Lease are unconditional and provide for
guaranty of payment and not of collection; and
(K) The Borrower under the Mortgage Loan identified as GMACCM Loan No.

monetary obligations under the Credit Lease other than those for which
the related tenant is required to reimburse the Borrower and indemnity
obligations for liabilities imposed by applicable law, (b) does not
have any material non-monetary obligations under the Credit Lease
except for the delivery of possession of the leased property and
providing estoppel certificates, and (c) except for representations
qualified by its knowledge, has not made any material representation
or warranty under the Credit Lease that would impose any material
monetary obligation upon the Borrower or result in the termination of
the Credit Lease.
(xxxvi) Litigation. To the Seller's actual knowledge, there are no pending
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, would
materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property or the
ability of the Mortgagor to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due
under such Mortgage Loan.
(xxxvii) Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related
Mortgagor's fee simple interest in real estate or the related Mortgage Loan is
secured in whole or in part by the interest of the Mortgagor as a lessee under a
ground lease of the Mortgaged
C-8
<PAGE>
Property (a "Ground Lease"). Any Mortgage Loan that is secured by the interest
of the Mortgagor under a Ground Lease may or may not be secured by the related
fee interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"). If a Mortgage Loan
is secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, either (1) the ground lessor's
Fee Interest is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage or (2) the following
apply to such Ground Lease:
(A) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, based on due diligence
customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or
will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel
letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related
lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered
by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the
payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes
reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related
Mortgage File;
(B) The lessee's interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens
or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related
Mortgage, other than the ground lessor's related fee interest and
Permitted Encumbrances;
(C) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without
the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if 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 Purchaser
and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to
obtain the consent of, such lessor;
(D) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Seller has
received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder,
and, to the Seller's actual knowledge, there exists no condition that,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(E) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by
the lessee to the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, provided that
the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan has provided the lessor with
notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground
Lease, and such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other
agreement, 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;
(F) The mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable
opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain
possession of the interest of
C-9
<PAGE>
the lessee under such Ground Lease) to cure any default under such
Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such
default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(G) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension
options set forth therein) which extends not less than ten years
beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(H) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking, will be applied either to
the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan or a trustee
appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as
the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a
provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent
commercial mortgage lender), or to the payment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued
interest thereon;
(I) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which
would be viewed, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, as commercially unreasonable by the Seller; and such Ground
Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted,
in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession,
interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of the lessee, or in any
manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided
by the related Mortgage; and
(J) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor to enter into a new lease in the event of a termination of
the Ground Lease by reason of a default by the Mortgagor under the
Ground Lease, including, rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding.
(xxxviii) Deed of Trust. If the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly
designated and serving under such Mortgage.
(xxxix) Lien Releases. Except in cases where either (a) a release of a
portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination of the
Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of
underwriting the Mortgage Loan or (b) release is conditioned upon the
satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a
release price, the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage does not require the holder
thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan.
C-10
<PAGE>
(xl) Junior Liens. The Mortgage Loan does not permit the related Mortgaged
Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the
lien of the related Mortgage (excluding any lien relating to another Mortgage
Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) without the prior
written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service
coverage or similar conditions specified therein.
(xli) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. To the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgagor is not
a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
(xlii) Due Organization of Mortgagors. As of the date of origination of
each Mortgage, each related Mortgagor which is not a natural person was duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction.
(xliii) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage Loan contains provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan if, without complying with the requirements of such Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or
indirectly transferred or sold.
(xliv) Single Purpose Entity. The related Mortgagor is an entity, other
than an individual, whose organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan
Documents provide substantially to the effect that the Mortgagor: (A) is formed
or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the
Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, (B) may not engage in any
business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, (C) does
not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and
operation of such Mortgage Property or Mortgaged Properties, (D) may not incur
indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Mortgage
Loan Documents, (E) has its own books and records separate and apart from any
other person, and (F) holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart
from any other person.
(xlv) Defeasance Provisions. Any Mortgage Loan which contains a provision
for any defeasance of mortgage collateral by the Mortgagor, either (A) requires
the consent of the holder of the Mortgage Loan to any defeasance, or (B) permits
defeasance (i) no earlier than two years after the Closing Date (as defined in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999), (ii) only with
substitute collateral constituting "government securities" within the meaning of
Treas. Reg. ss. 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i), and (iii) only to facilitate the disposition
of mortgage real property and not as a part of an arrangement to collateralize a
REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages.
(xlvi) [Reserved]
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Exhibit C shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files
to the Purchaser and/or the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Purchaser, and its successors and assigns (including
C-11

without limitation the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates),
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.

FORM OF OPINION I OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER
June 9, 1999
To: Persons on Annex A
Re: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am General Counsel to GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation (the "Seller"
or "GMACCM"). In that capacity, I am familiar with the issuance of certain
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"),
evidencing undivided interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting
primarily of certain mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), among GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the
"Company") as depositor, the Seller as master servicer and special servicer,
LaSalle Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as fiscal agent.
Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Company from the
Seller, pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and the Seller. Certain of the Mortgage Loans
were purchased by the Company from Column Financial, Inc. ("Column") pursuant
to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Column Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement") between the Company and Column. Certain of the Mortgage Loans will
be purchased by the Company from German American Capital Corporation ("GACC"),
pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and GACC. Mortgage Company ("GSMC"), pursuant
to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Company and GSMC. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are referred to herein together
as the "Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set
forth in the Agreements. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 8(e) of
the GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
The Company has sold the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
as the underwriters (the
Exhibit D-3A - Page 1
<PAGE>
"Underwriters") named in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999
(the "Underwriting Agreement"), among the Company, the Seller, and the
Underwriters. The Company sold the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M
and Class N Certificates to Commercial Asset Trading Inc. ("CATI") pursuant to
the Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Certificate
Purchase Agreement"), between the Company and CATI. The Company sold the Class
R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation.
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I have examined or have
caused persons under my supervision to examine the Agreements and such other
records and other documents as I have deemed necessary. I have further assumed
that there is not and will not be any other agreement that materially
supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements. As
to matters of fact, I have examined and relied upon representations of parties
contained in the Agreements and, where I have deemed appropriate,
representations and certifications of officers of the Company, the Seller, the
Trustee, other transaction participants or public officials. I have assumed the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of
all signatures other than officers of the Seller and the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have assumed that all
parties, except for the Company and the Seller, had the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder. As to such
parties, I also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite corporate
action, the due execution and delivery and the enforceability of such documents.
I have further assumed the conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents to the requirements of the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, I do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United
States, and I do not express any opinion concerning the application of the
"doing business" laws or the securities laws of any jurisdiction other than the
federal securities laws of the United States. To the extent that any of the
matters upon which I am opining herein are governed by laws ("Other Laws") other
than the laws identified in the preceding sentence, I have assumed with your
permission and without independent verification or investigation as to the
reasonableness of such assumption, that such Other Laws and judicial
interpretation thereof do not vary in any respect material to this opinion from
the corresponding laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and judicial
interpretations thereof. I do not express any opinion on any issue not expressly
addressed below.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Seller and, upon due authorization, execution and delivery
by the other parties thereto, will constitute the valid, legal and binding
agreements of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with
their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors, (ii) general principles of
equity, whether enforcement is sought in a
Exhibit D-3A - Page 2
<PAGE>
proceeding in equity or at law, and (iii) public policy considerations
underlying the securities laws, to the extent that suchpublic policy
considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of the Agreements
which purport to provide indemnification with respect to securities law
violations.
2. No consent, approval, authorization or order of a Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania or federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the terms of the
Agreements, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders which
previously have been obtained.
3. Neither the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, nor
the fulfillment by the Seller of any other of the terms of, the Agreements, will
result in a material breach of any term or provision of the charter or bylaws of
the Seller or any Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or federal statute or regulation
or conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of or
constitute a material default under the terms of any indenture or other material
agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound
or any order or regulation of any Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or federal court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over the Seller.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity, except Mayer, Brown & Platt, is entitled
to rely hereon without prior written consent. Copies of this opinion letter may
not be furnished to any other person or entity, nor may any portion of this
opinion letter be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document
without my prior written consent.

Re: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being provided to you by the undersigned, as special
counsel to GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM"), pursuant to Section
8(e) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated May 25, 1999 (the "GMACCM
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities,
Inc. (the "Purchaser") and GMACCM as the Seller, (in such capacity the
"Seller"), relating to the sale by the Seller of certain mortgage loans (the
"GMACCM Mortgage Loans"), and relating to the Certificates sold pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Underwriting Agreement"),
between the Purchaser and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co, and issued under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999, among GMACCM as
special servicer and master servicer (in such respective capacities, the
"Special Servicer" and the "Master Servicer"), the Purchaser, as depositor,
LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as fiscal
agent (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement" and together with the GMACCM
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the "Agreements"). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreements.
In connection with the transactions described above, certain mortgage loans
(the "GACC Mortgage Loans") were sold to the Purchaser by German American
Capital Corporation ("GACC"), pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
dated as of May
Exhibit D-3B - Page 1
<PAGE>
25, 1999 (the "GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Purchaser
and GACC, certain other mortgage loans (the "GSMC Trust Mortgage Loans") were
sold to the Purchaser by Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company("GSMC"), pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "GSMC Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Purchaser and GSMC, and certain other
mortgage loans (the "Column Mortgage Loans") were sold to the Purchaser by
Column Financial, Inc. ("Column"), pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Column Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Purchaser and Column.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon executed copies
of the Agreements and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such certificates and other documents as we have deemed
appropriate for the purposes of rendering this opinion. We have examined and
relied upon, among other things, the documents and opinions delivered to you at
the closing being held today relating to the Certificates, as well as (a) the
Prospectus and the Memorandum, (b) an executed copy of the GACC Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GSMC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
and (c) an executed copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In conducting our examination, we have assumed, without investigation, the
legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have,
with your permission, also relied upon the opinions of even date herewith of
Maria Corpora-Buck, Esq., General Counsel to GMACCM, and Severson & Werson,
special California counsel to GMACCM, addressed to you. As to any facts material
to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or
verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of
officers and other representatives of GMACCM and others.
We are members of the bar of the State of New York and do not purport to be
experts on or to express any opinion herein concerning any laws other than the
laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of
America. We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Based upon the matters stated herein and upon such investigation as we have
deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that the Agreements have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by GMACCM and, upon due authorization,
execution and delivery by the Purchaser, will each constitute a valid, legal and
binding agreement of GMACCM, enforceable against GMACCM in accordance with its
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights
generally and (b) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in
a proceeding in equity or at law.
Exhibit D-3B - Page 2
<PAGE>
In rendering the opinions expressed above, we express no opinion regarding
any severability provision in the Agreements or regarding the legal, valid and
binding effect or the enforceability of any indemnification provision in the
Agreements to the extent that any such provisions may be deemed to cover matters
under the federal securities laws. The opinions expressed above are subject to
the further qualification that certain of the remedial provisions in the
Agreements may be limited or rendered ineffective or unenforceable in whole or
in part under the laws of the State of New York (but the inclusion of such
provisions does not make the remedies provided by the Agreements inadequate for
the practical realization of the rights and benefits purported to be provided
thereby, except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay).
We have not ourselves checked the accuracy or completeness of, or otherwise
independently verified, the information furnished with respect to the Prospectus
Supplement or the Memorandum. In addition, as you are aware, with limited
exception, we did not examine or review the Mortgage Files although we did
review the asset summaries (the "GMACCM Asset Summaries") furnished and prepared
by GMACCM with respect to the GMACCM Mortgage Loans sold under the GMACCM
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GACC Mortgage Loans sold under the GACC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the GSMC Mortgage Loans sold under the GSMC
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Column Mortgage Loans sold under the
Column Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Mortgage Loans"). We
did not, however, check the accuracy or completeness of or otherwise
independently verify the information contained in the GMACCM Asset Summaries.
Moreover, we note that we were advised by GMACCM in connection with our review
of the GMACCM Asset Summaries that such GMACCM Asset Summaries were summaries
only, and in certain instances being continually updated and corrected and were
not intended to be relied on for a complete legal description of each GMACCM
Mortgage Loan.
In the course of the preparation by the Purchaser of the Prospectus
Supplement and the Memorandum, we have participated in conferences with certain
officers of GMACCM, the Purchaser, counsel to the Purchaser and your
representatives, during which the contents of the Prospectus Supplement and the
Memorandum and related matters were discussed and, at your request we have
reviewed the information contained in the Prospectus Supplement (other than the
information presented in tabular form) under the headings "Summary -- The
Mortgage Pool," "Risk Factors" and/or "Description of the Mortgage Pool"
relating to GMACCM, the Purchaser and the Mortgage Loans (collectively, the
"Selected Information"). On the basis of the discussions and limited review
referred to above, although we are not passing upon, and do not assume any
responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Prospectus Supplement and the Memorandum, and without
independent check or verification of the Selected Information except as stated,
no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the
Selected Information set forth in either the Prospectus Supplement or the
Memorandum (other than financial and statistical data included or not included
therein or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no
opinion), as of its issue date, contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to
Exhibit D-3B - Page 3
<PAGE>
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is
indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring to the
actual knowledge of the Mayer, Brown & Platt attorneys who have represented you
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. Except as
expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation
to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our
knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such
representation has been undertaken by us.
This letter is limited to the specific issues addressed herein and the
opinion rendered above is limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on
the date hereof. By rendering this opinion, we do not undertake to advise you
with respect to any other matter or of any change in such laws or facts or in
the interpretations of such laws which may occur after the date hereof.
We are furnishing this opinion to you solely for your benefit. This opinion
is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose, except that the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto may rely upon this
opinion in connection with their rating of the Certificates to the same extent
as if this opinion had been addressed to them.
Very truly yours,
Mayer, Brown & Platt
Exhibit D-3B - Page 4
EXECUTION COPY
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of May 25, 1999, between German American Capital Corporation as
seller (the "Seller") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as purchaser
(the "Purchaser").
The Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule").
It is expected that the Mortgage Loans will be transferred, together with
other multifamily and commercial mortgage loans, to a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") to be formed by the Purchaser, beneficial ownership of which will be
evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the
"Certificates"). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch IBCA Inc.
(together, the "Rating Agencies"). Certain classes of the Certificates (the
"Registered Certificates") will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust Fund will be created and the
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be
dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation as master servicer
(in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and special servicer (in such
capacity, the "Special Servicer") and LaSalle Bank National Association, as
trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date.
The Purchaser intends to sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class X Certificates to Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman,
Sachs & Co. (together, the "Underwriters") pursuant to an underwriting agreement
dated the date hereof (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to
sell the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M and Class N Certificates to
Commercial Asset Trading Inc. (in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser")
pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the
"Certificate Purchase Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to sell the Class R-I,
Class R-II and the Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser"). The Class H, Class J,
Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Non-Registered Certificates."
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
<PAGE>
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans. The
purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 25, 1999 or such
other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing
Date"). The "Cut-off Date" with respect to any Mortgage Loan is the Due Date for
such Mortgage Loan in June, 1999. As of the close of business on their
respective Cut-off Dates (which Cut-off Dates may occur after the Closing Date),
the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance (the "Aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance"), after application of all payments of principal due
thereon on or before such date, whether or not received, of $__________, subject
to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans
shall be $__________.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the Seller
of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof (exclusive of any

I am Counsel to German American Capital Corporation (the "Seller"). In that
capacity, I am familiar with the issuance of certain Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain

among GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as depositor (the "Depositor"),
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM") as master servicer and special

Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Depositor from the
Seller, pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Seller and the Depositor. In connection with the
transactions described above, the Seller and GMACCM have entered into a
Supplemental Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Supplemental Agreement"),
in order to facilitate such transactions and in contemplation of the assignment
by the Seller to the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to

C-3-1
<PAGE>
Purchase Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement are referred to herein as the
"Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Agreement. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 8(e) of the
Agreement.
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I have examined or have
caused persons under my supervision to examine the Agreements and such other
records and other documents as I have deemed necessary. I have further assumed
that there is not and will not be any other agreement that materially
supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements. As
to matters of fact, I have examined and relied upon representations of parties
contained in the Agreements and, where I have deemed appropriate,
representations and certifications of officers of GMACCM, the Depositor, the
Seller, the Trustee, other transaction participants or public officials. I have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures other than officers of the Seller and the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have
assumed that all parties, except for the Seller, had the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder. As to such
parties, I also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite corporate
action, the due execution and delivery and the enforceability of such documents.
I have further assumed the conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents to the requirements of the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, I do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the
United States, and I do not express any opinion concerning the application of
the "doing business" laws or the securities laws of any jurisdiction other than
the federal securities laws of the United States. To the extent that any of the
matters upon which I am opining herein are governed by laws ("Other Laws") other
than the laws identified in the preceding sentence, I have assumed with your
permission and without independent verification or investigation as to the
reasonableness of such assumption, that such Other Laws and judicial
interpretation thereof do not vary in any respect material to this opinion from
the corresponding laws of the State of New York and judicial interpretations
thereof. I do not express any opinion on any issue not expressly addressed
below.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Seller is duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland
and has the requisite corporate power and authority, to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Seller and, upon due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto, will constitute the valid,
legal and binding agreements of the Seller enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors, (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
C-3-2
<PAGE>
extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
of the provisions of the Agreements which purport to provide
indemnification with respect to securities law violations.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of a State of New York or
federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the
terms of the Agreements, except for those consents, approvals,
authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.
4. Neither the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by,
nor the fulfillment by the Seller of any other of the terms of, the
Agreements, will result in a material breach of any term or provision
of the charter or bylaws of the Seller or any State of New York or
federal statute or regulation or conflict with or result in a material
breach or violation of any order or regulation of any state or federal
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Seller.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon without my
prior written consent. Copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to any
other person or entity, nor may any portion of this opinion letter be quoted,
circulated or referred to in any other document without my prior written
consent.
Very truly yours,

EXECUTION COPY
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of May 25, 1999, between Column Financial, Inc. as seller (the
"Seller") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as purchaser (the
"Purchaser").
The Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule").
It is expected that the Mortgage Loans will be transferred, together with
other multifamily and commercial mortgage loans, to a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") to be formed by the Purchaser, beneficial ownership of which will be
evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the
"Certificates"). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch IBCA Inc.
(together, the "Rating Agencies"). Certain classes of the Certificates (the
"Registered Certificates") will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust Fund will be created and the
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be
dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation as master servicer
(in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and special servicer (in such
capacity, the "Special Servicer") and LaSalle Bank National Association, as
trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date.
The Purchaser intends to sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class X Certificates to Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman,
Sachs & Co. (together, the "Underwriters") pursuant to an underwriting agreement
dated the date hereof (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to
sell the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M and Class N Certificates to
Commercial Asset Trading Inc. (in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser")
pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the
"Certificate Purchase Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to sell the Class R-I,
Class R-II and the Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser"). The Class H, Class J,
Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Non-Registered Certificates."
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
1
<PAGE>
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans. The
purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 25, 1999 or such
other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing
Date"). The "Cut-off Date" with respect to any Mortgage Loan is the Due Date for
such Mortgage Loan in June, 1999. As of the close of business on their
respective Cut-off Dates (which Cut-off Dates may occur after the Closing Date),
the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance (the "Aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance"), after application of all payments of principal due
thereon on or before such date, whether or not received, of $__________, subject
to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans
shall be $__________.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the
Seller of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof (exclusive of any
applicable holdback for transaction expenses), 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 Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date, including all
interest and principal received or receivable by the Seller on or with respect
to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date for each such Mortgage Loan,
together with all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds of any related title, hazard, or other insurance policies and any
escrow, reserve or other comparable accounts related to the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser shall be entitled to (and, to the extent received by or on behalf of
the Seller, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to or at the
direction of the Purchaser) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due
on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date for each such Mortgage Loan, and
all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after such
Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due thereon on or
before the Cut-off Date for each Mortgage Loan and collected after such Cut-off
Date shall belong to the Seller.
(b) In connection with the Seller's assignment pursuant to subsection (a)
above, the Seller hereby agrees that, at least five (5) Business Days before the
Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B hereto) for each Mortgage Loan so
assigned to the extent that such Mortgage File was delivered to the Seller by
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation. On the Closing Date, upon notification
from the Seller that the purchase price referred to in Section 1 (exclusive of
any applicable holdback for transaction expenses) has been received by the
Seller, the Trustee shall be authorized to release to the Purchaser or its
designee all of the Mortgage Files in the Trustee's possession relating to the
Mortgage Loans.
(c) All documents and records in the Seller's possession (or under its
control) relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not required to be a part of a
Mortgage File in accordance with Exhibit B (all such other documents and
records, as to any Mortgage Loan, the "Servicing File"), together with all
escrow payments, reserve funds and other comparable funds in the possession of
the Seller (or under its control) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
(unless they are held by a sub-servicer that shall, as of the Closing Date,
begin acting on behalf of the Master Servicer
2
<PAGE>
pursuant to a written agreement between such parties) be delivered by the Seller
(or its agent) to the Purchaser (or its designee) no later than the Closing
Date. If a sub-servicer shall, as of the Closing Date, begin acting on behalf of
the Master Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to a written
agreement between such parties, the Seller shall deliver a copy of the related
Servicing File to the Master Servicer.
(d) The Seller's records will reflect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser as a sale.
SECTION 3. Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.
The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the
Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct
any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files and/or Servicing Files
shall not affect the Purchaser's right to pursue any remedy available in equity
or at law for a breach of the Seller's representations, warranties and covenants
set forth in or contemplated by Section 4.

(a) Reserved.

applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and

creditors' rights generally, (B) general principles of equity, regardless

Purchaser, (2) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (3)
where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification,

Re: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Counsel to Column Financial, Inc. (the "Seller"). In that capacity, I
am familiar with the issuance of certain Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided interests in a trust
fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among GMAC Commercial
Mortgage Securities, Inc. as depositor (the "Depositor"), GMAC Commercial
Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM") as master servicer and special servicer and
LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").
Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Depositor from the
Seller, pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Seller and the Depositor. In connection with the
transactions described above, the Seller and GMACCM have entered into a
Supplemental Agreement, dated as of May 25, 1999 (the "Supplemental Agreement"),
in order to facilitate such transactions and in contemplation of the assignment
by the Seller to the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to
the Supplemental Agreement. The Mortgage Loan
C-3-1
<PAGE>
Purchase Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement are referred to herein as the
"Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Agreement. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 8(e) of the
Agreement.
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I have examined or have
caused persons under my supervision to examine the Agreements and such other
records and other documents as I have deemed necessary. I have further assumed
that there is not and will not be any other agreement that materially
supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements. As
to matters of fact, I have examined and relied upon representations of parties
contained in the Agreements and, where I have deemed appropriate,
representations and certifications of officers of GMACCM, the Depositor, the
Seller, the Trustee, other transaction participants or public officials. I have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures other than officers of the Seller and the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have
assumed that all parties, except for the Seller, had the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder. As to such
parties, I also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite corporate
action, the due execution and delivery and the enforceability of such documents.
I have further assumed the conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents to the requirements of the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, I do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the State of Georgia, the corporate law of the
State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States, and I do not express
any opinion concerning the application of the "doing business" laws or the
securities laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal securities laws of
the United States. To the extent that any of the matters upon which I am opining
herein are governed by laws ("Other Laws") other than the laws identified in the
preceding sentence, I have assumed with your permission and without independent
verification or investigation as to the reasonableness of such assumption, that
such Other Laws and judicial interpretation thereof do not vary in any respect
material to this opinion from the corresponding laws of the State of Georgia and
judicial interpretations thereof. I do not express any opinion on any issue not
expressly addressed below.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Seller is duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the requisite corporate power and authority, to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Seller and, upon due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto, will constitute the valid,
legal and binding agreements of the Seller enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors, (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
C-3-2
<PAGE>
extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
of the provisions of the Agreements which purport to provide
indemnification with respect to securities law violations.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of a State of Georgia or
federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the
terms of the Agreements, except for those consents, approvals,
authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.
4. Neither the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by,
nor the fulfillment by the Seller of any other of the terms of, the
Agreements, will result in a material breach of any term or provision
of the charter or bylaws of the Seller or any State of Georgia or
federal statute or regulation or conflict with or result in a material
breach or violation of any order or regulation of any state or federal
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Seller.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon without my
prior written consent. Copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to any
other person or entity, nor may any portion of this opinion letter be quoted,
circulated or referred to in any other document without my prior written
consent.
Very truly yours,

EXECUTION COPY
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of May 25, 1999, between Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company as seller
(the "Seller") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as purchaser (the
"Purchaser").
The Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below, the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule").
It is expected that the Mortgage Loans will be transferred, together with
other multifamily and commercial mortgage loans, to a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") to be formed by the Purchaser, beneficial ownership of which will be
evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the
"Certificates"). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch IBCA Inc.
(together, the "Rating Agencies"). Certain classes of the Certificates (the
"Registered Certificates") will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust Fund will be created and the
Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be
dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Purchaser as depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation as master servicer
(in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and special servicer (in such
capacity, the "Special Servicer") and LaSalle Bank National Association, as
trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date.
The Purchaser intends to sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class X Certificates to Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman,
Sachs & Co. (together, the "Underwriters") pursuant to an underwriting agreement
dated the date hereof (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to
sell the Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M and Class N Certificates to
Commercial Asset Trading Inc. (in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser")
pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the
"Certificate Purchase Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to sell the Class R-I,
Class R-II and the Class R-III Certificates to Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser"). The Class H, Class J,
Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Non-Registered Certificates."
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
<PAGE>
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans. The
purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on May 25, 1999 or such
other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing
Date"). The "Cut-off Date" with respect to any Mortgage Loan is the Due Date for
such Mortgage Loan in June, 1999. As of the close of business on their
respective Cut-off Dates (which Cut-off Dates may occur after the Closing Date),
the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance (the "Aggregate
Cut-off Date Balance"), after application of all payments of principal due
thereon on or before such date, whether or not received, of $__________, subject
to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans
shall be $__________.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the Seller
of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof (exclusive of any
applicable holdback for transaction expenses), 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 Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such date, including all
interest and principal received or receivable by the Seller on or with respect
to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date for each such Mortgage Loan,
together with all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds of any related title, hazard, or other insurance policies and any
escrow, reserve or other comparable accounts related to the Mortgage Loans. The
Purchaser shall be entitled to (and, to the extent received by or on behalf of
the Seller, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to or at the
direction of the Purchaser) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due
on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date for each such Mortgage Loan, and
all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after such
Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due thereon on or
before the Cut-off Date for each Mortgage Loan and collected after such Cut-off
Date shall belong to the Seller.
(b) In connection with the Seller's assignment pursuant to subsection (a)
above, the Seller hereby agrees that, at least five (5) Business Days before the
Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B hereto) for each Mortgage Loan so
assigned to the extent that such Mortgage File was delivered to the Seller by
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation. On the Closing Date, upon notification
from the Seller that the purchase price referred to in Section 1 (exclusive of
any applicable holdback for transaction expenses) has been received by the
Seller, the Trustee shall be authorized to release to the Purchaser or its
designee all of the Mortgage Files in the Trustee's possession relating to the
Mortgage Loans.
(c) All documents and records in the Seller's possession (or under its
control) relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not required to be a part of a
Mortgage File in accordance with Exhibit B (all such other documents and
records, as to any Mortgage Loan, the "Servicing File"), together with all
escrow payments, reserve funds and other comparable funds in the possession of
the Seller (or under its control) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, shall
(unless they are held by a sub-servicer that shall, as of the Closing Date,
begin acting on behalf of the Master Servicer
2
<PAGE>
pursuant to a written agreement between such parties) be delivered by the Seller
(or its agent) to the Purchaser (or its designee) no later than the Closing
Date. If a sub-servicer shall, as of the Closing Date, begin acting on behalf of
the Master Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to a written
agreement between such parties, the Seller shall deliver a copy of the related
Servicing File to the Master Servicer.
(d) The Seller and the Purchaser intend the transfer of the Mortgage Loans
hereunder to be a true sale by the Seller to the Purchaser that is absolute and
irrevocable and that provides the Purchaser with full control of the Mortgage
Loans.
SECTION 3. Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.
The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the
Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct
any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files and/or Servicing Files
shall not affect the Purchaser's right to pursue any remedy available in equity
or at law for a breach of the Seller's representations, warranties and covenants
set forth in or contemplated by Section 4.
SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.
(a) Reserved.

enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (B) general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a

necessary in connection with Seller's sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser, (2) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,
registrations, filings or notices as have been obtained or made and (3)
where the lack of such consent, approval, authorization, qualification,
registration, filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on
the performance by the Seller under this Agreement.

above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser, the

Re: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-C2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Counsel to Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (the "Seller"). In that
capacity, I am familiar with the issuance of certain Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-C2 (the "Certificates"), evidencing undivided
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of certain
mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as depositor (the "Depositor"),
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM") as master servicer and special
servicer and LaSalle Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").
Certain of the Mortgage Loans were purchased by the Depositor from the
Seller, pursuant to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 1999 (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement"), between the Seller and the Depositor. In connection with the
transactions described above, the Seller and GMACCM have entered into a
Supplemental Agreement, dated as of June 25, 1999 (the "Supplemental
Agreement"), in order to facilitate such transactions and in contemplation of
the assignment by the Seller to the Depositor of all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Supplemental Agreement. The Mortgage Loan
C-3-1
<PAGE>
Purchase Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement are referred to herein as the
"Agreements." Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Agreement. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 8(e) of the
Agreement.
In connection with rendering this opinion letter, I have examined or have
caused persons under my supervision to examine the Agreements and such other
records and other documents as I have deemed necessary. I have further assumed
that there is not and will not be any other agreement that materially
supplements or otherwise modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements. As
to matters of fact, I have examined and relied upon representations of parties
contained in the Agreements and, where I have deemed appropriate,
representations and certifications of officers of GMACCM, the Depositor, the
Seller, the Trustee, other transaction participants or public officials. I have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures other than officers of the Seller and the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have
assumed that all parties, except for the Seller, had the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder. As to such
parties, I also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite corporate
action, the due execution and delivery and the enforceability of such documents.
I have further assumed the conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents to the requirements of the Agreements.
In rendering this opinion letter, I do not express any opinion concerning
any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the
United States, and I do not express any opinion concerning the application of
the "doing business" laws or the securities laws of any jurisdiction other than
the federal securities laws of the United States. To the extent that any of the
matters upon which I am opining herein are governed by laws ("Other Laws") other
than the laws identified in the preceding sentence, I have assumed with your
permission and without independent verification or investigation as to the
reasonableness of such assumption, that such Other Laws and judicial
interpretation thereof do not vary in any respect material to this opinion from
the corresponding laws of the State of New York and judicial interpretations
thereof. I do not express any opinion on any issue not expressly addressed
below.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Seller is duly formed and is validly existing as a limited
partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of New York
and has the requisite corporate power and authority, to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Agreements.
2. The Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Seller and, upon due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto, will constitute the valid,
legal and binding agreements of the Seller enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors, (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
C-3-2
<PAGE>
extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability
of the provisions of the Agreements which purport to provide
indemnification with respect to securities law violations.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of a State of New York or
federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by the
terms of the Agreements, except for those consents, approvals,
authorizations or orders which previously have been obtained.
4. Neither the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by,
nor the fulfillment by the Seller of any other of the terms of, the
Agreements, will result in a material breach of any term or provision
of the charter or bylaws of the Seller or any State of New York or
federal statute or regulation or conflict with or result in a material
breach or violation of any order or regulation of any state or federal
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Seller.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon without my
prior written consent. Copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to any
other person or entity, nor may any portion of this opinion letter be quoted,
circulated or referred to in any other document without my prior written
consent.
Very truly yours,
C-3-3

Corporation (in such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser").
WHEREAS, each of the Seller and the Purchaser, in connection with the
transactions described above, desires to amend and supplement certain of the
provisions of the GACC Purchase Agreement as they relate to the Mortgage Loans
in order to facilitate such transactions
1
<PAGE>
and in contemplation of the assignment by the Purchaser to the Depositor of all
of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendment of GACC Purchase Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans only, the
GACC Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to the extent that the provisions of
the GACC Purchase Agreement are inconsistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.
(a) The Seller hereby makes, as of June 9, 1999 (the "Closing Date") (or as
of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or
warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, and its successors and
assigns (including, without limitation, the Depositor, the Trustee and the
holders of the Certificates), each of the representations and warranties set
forth in Exhibit B, with such changes or modifications as may be permitted or
required by the Rating Agencies.
(b) In addition, the Seller, as of the date hereof, hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser that:
(i) The Seller is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is
in compliance with the laws of each State in which any Mortgaged
Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the
enforceability of each Mortgage Loan and to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by
the Seller, will not violate the Seller's organizational documents
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,
in each case which materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Seller to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(iii) The Seller 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

by the Purchaser, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and
(C) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws,
to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the
enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to
provide indemnification for securities laws liabilities.
(v) The Seller 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 Seller's good
faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and
adversely either the ability of the Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the
Seller.
(vi) No litigation is pending with regard to which Seller has received
service of process or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge,
threatened against the Seller the outcome of which, in the
Seller's good faith and reasonable judgment, could reasonably be
expected to prohibit the Seller from entering into this Agreement
or materially and adversely affect either the ability of the
Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
financial condition of the Seller.
(vii) The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent
or other person, other than the Purchaser, the Underwriters, the
Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may be
entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the
sale of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of any of the other
transactions contemplated hereby.
(viii) 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 (including, with respect to
any bulk sale laws), for the execution, delivery and performance
of or compliance by the Seller with this Agreement, or the
consummation by the Seller of any transaction contemplated hereby,
other than (1) such consents, approvals, authorizations,
qualifications, registrations, filings or notices as have been
obtained or made and (2) where the lack of such consent, approval,
3
<PAGE>
authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would
not have a material adverse effect on the performance by the
Seller under this Agreement.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to and set forth in subsection (b)
above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser or
its successors or assigns or a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made pursuant to subsection (a) above and set forth in Exhibit B
which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the
interests therein of the Purchaser or its successors and assigns (including,
without limitation the Depositor, the Trustee and the holders of the
Certificates), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other party hereto or if this Agreement has been assigned by the
Purchaser, to such assignee. The representations, warranties and covenants set
forth in Section 2(a) shall, as between the Seller and the Purchaser,
supplement, and as between the Seller and any successors or assigns of the
Purchaser, replace and amend and restate in their entirety, the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Seller made pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the
GACC Purchase Agreement to the extent they relate to the Mortgage Loans.

to, and covenants with, the Seller that:

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, in each case which materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Purchaser to carry out the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

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 Seller, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation
of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance
with the terms
4
<PAGE>
hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law, and (C) public policy
considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that
such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the
provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide
indemnification for securities laws liabilities.
(v) The Purchaser 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
Purchaser's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to
affect materially and adversely either the ability of the
Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
financial condition of the Purchaser.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Purchaser's
knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser which would prohibit
the Purchaser from entering into this Agreement or, in the
Purchaser's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to
materially and adversely affect either the ability of the
Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
financial condition of the Purchaser.
(vii) The Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,

the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may
be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with
the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(viii) 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 of or compliance by the Purchaser with this
Agreement, or the consummation by the Purchaser of any transaction
contemplated hereby, other than (1) such consents, approvals,
authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices
as have been obtained or made and (2) where the lack of such
consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration,
filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the
performance by the Purchaser under this Agreement.
5
<PAGE>
(b) The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other
date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and
for the benefit of the Seller, and its successors and assigns, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan each of the representations and warranties set forth below:
(i) Immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Depositor, the
Purchaser had whatever title to such Mortgage Loan as was conveyed
to it by Seller, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances
and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other than,
in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service
such Mortgage Loan) created by the Purchaser. Such transfer
validly assigns such title to such Mortgage Loan to the Depositor
free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest created by the Purchaser;
(ii) The Purchaser has full right and authority to sell, assign and
transfer its interest in such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) The Purchaser has not done anything that would materially impair
the coverage under the lender's title insurance policy that
insures the lien of the related Mortgage;
(iv) The Purchaser has not waived any material default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note;
(v) To the Purchaser's actual knowledge, without independent inquiry
as to the provisions of the Mortgage Loans, there is no valid
offset, defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan arising out
of the Purchaser's actions or holding of the Mortgage Loans; and
(vi) The terms of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage Note have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified by the Purchaser in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related
Mortgage File;
provided that, with respect to the representations and warranties in clauses
(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, such representations and warranties cover only
actions taken directly by the Purchaser and its Affiliates or taken by the
Seller at the direction of the Purchaser.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Seller, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party hereto.
6
<PAGE>
SECTION 4. Repurchases.
(a) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice by the
Seller, from either the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, of a
Defect (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date) in respect of the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or a breach
of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2(a) and set forth in
Exhibit B (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially
and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
the Purchaser or its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the
Depositor, the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates), the Seller shall
cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
in effect on the Closing Date) by payment of such Purchase Price by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such
owner(s); provided, however, that in lieu of effecting any such repurchase, the
Seller will be permitted to deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to
pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect
on the Closing Date.
If the Seller is notified of a Defect in any Mortgage File that corresponds
to information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Seller shall
promptly correct such Defect and provide a new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, which corrected Mortgage
Loan Schedule shall be deemed to amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan
Schedule for all purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), within 60 days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of notice by the Seller, from either the Purchaser or any
successor or assign thereof, that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price by payment of such Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account designated by such owner(s).
In addition, if, as of the Closing Date, any Mortgage Loan is secured by a
Mortgage that does not constitute a valid first lien upon the related Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings located thereon and all fixtures attached
thereto, or if a Mortgage is subject to something other than (A) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record, (C) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to
in the lender's title insurance policy issued or, as evidenced by a "marked-up"
commitment, to be issued in respect of such Mortgage Loan and (D) those
exceptions set forth on Schedule B-1 to Exhibit B hereto (the exceptions set
forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) collectively, "Permitted
Encumbrances"), or if the insurer that issued the Title Policy referred to in
clause (vi) of Exhibit B hereto in respect of any Mortgage Loan was not
qualified to do business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located, and in either case such failure materially and
7
<PAGE>
adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates (any such failure
that materially and adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates,
also a "Breach"), the Seller shall be required, at its option, to either (i)
cure such Breach in all material respects or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan, in each case, within the applicable Permitted Cure Period. If any
such Breach is not corrected or cured in all material respects within the
applicable Permitted Cure Period, the Seller shall, not later than the last day
of such Permitted Cure Period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from
the Purchaser or its assignee at the applicable Purchase Price or (ii) if within
the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year
period commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a
"defective obligation" within the meaning of Section 860(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at its option, replace such
Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay any
corresponding Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Seller agrees that any such
repurchase or substitution shall be completed in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph only, the "Permitted Cure Period"
applicable to any Breach in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be the 90-day
period immediately following the earlier of the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice of such Breach; provided that if such Breach
cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period,
but it is reasonably likely that such Breach could be corrected or cured within
180 days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller and receipt by the Seller of
notice of such Breach, and the Seller is diligently attempting to effect such
correction or cure, then the applicable Permitted Cure Period shall, with the
consent of the Purchaser or its assignee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), be extended for an additional 90 days.
(c) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 4, the then owner(s) thereof shall tender or
cause to be tendered promptly to the Seller, upon delivery of a receipt executed
by the Seller, the related Mortgage File and Servicing File, and each document
that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to
the Purchaser or the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be,
to the Seller or its designee in the same manner. The form and sufficiency of
all such instruments and certificates shall be the responsibility of the Seller.
(d) This Section 4 provides the sole remedies available to the Purchaser,
and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates) respecting any Defect in a
Mortgage File or any breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2(a) and set forth in Exhibit B, or in connection with the circumstances
described in Section 4(b). If the Seller defaults on its obligations to
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4(a) or 4(b)
or disputes its obligation to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in
accordance with either such subsection, the Purchaser or its successors and
assigns may take such action as is appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all
necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
enforcement. The remedies
8
<PAGE>
provided in this Section 4 shall replace and amend and restate in their entirety
the provisions of Section 4.3 of the GACC Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 5. Conveyance of Mortgage Files.
(a) In connection with the Purchaser's assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby covenants with the Seller that, at least five (5) Business Days before
the Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement) for each Mortgage Loan so assigned to the extent that such Mortgage
File was delivered to the Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to so deliver
each such Mortgage File to the Trustee, the Seller and its successors and
assigns shall be entitled to pursue any rights or remedies in respect of such
failure as may be available under applicable law.
(b) For the benefit of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns, the
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor intends to cause the Trustee
to perform a limited review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans
to enable the Trustee to confirm to the Depositor on or before the Closing Date
that the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement has been delivered to the Trustee with respect to each
such Mortgage File. If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered as to
any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, the Seller shall deliver a copy
or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit
certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed. If the Seller
cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original
or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses
(ii), (iv), (viii), (xi)(A) and (xii) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with evidence of recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused
by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has
been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded
document has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and
subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements of this Section
5 shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such
missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File,
provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence of
recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to
multiple documents and/or instruments) by the Seller to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may
be) has been delivered to the Trustee, and either the original of such missing
document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with evidence of recording or filing,
as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to or at the direction of the
Depositor or Trustee within 180 days of the Closing Date (or within such longer
period after the Closing Date as the Trustee (or such subsequent owner) may
consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the
Seller has provided the Depositor or Trustee with evidence of such recording or
filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Depositor or Trustee as to
the occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as
certified to the Trustee no less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting
to obtain from the appropriate county recorder's or filing office such original
or copy).
9
<PAGE>
(c) If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any
Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender's title insurance
policy referred to in clause (ix) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery
requirements of this Section 5 shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such
missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the
related Mortgage File, provided that the Seller has delivered to the Trustee a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan,
and the Seller shall deliver to or at the direction of the Depositor or Trustee,
promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender's title
insurance policy (or a copy thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if there exists with respect to any group of
related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document
referred to in Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement covering all
the Mortgage Loans in such group, then the inclusion of the original of such
document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall
be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) As to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs
associated with (i) the recording or filing, as the case may be, of each
assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (v) of Exhibit B to the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and each UCC-2 and UCC-3, if any, referred to in clause (xi)(B)
of Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and (ii) the delivery of a
copy of any such document or instrument to the Master Servicer promptly
following its return to the Trustee or its designee after such recording or
filing; provided that the Seller shall not be responsible for actually recording
or filing any such document or instrument. If any such document or instrument is
lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may
be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at
the direction of the Depositor or the Trustee for recording or filing, as
appropriate, at the Seller's expense.
SECTION 6. 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 Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser or its designee.
SECTION 7. Costs.
Costs relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement shall be borne by the Seller.
SECTION 8. Indemnification.
(a) The Purchaser (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which it
10
<PAGE>
may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon the breach of any of
the Purchaser's representations or warranties contained in Section 3(b) of this
Agreement. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the
Purchaser may otherwise have.
(b) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, or (ii) any investigation made by any indemnified party.
SECTION 9. 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.
SECTION 10. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11. 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 THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
EXCEPT THAT THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 12. 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.

substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be the successor to the
Seller hereunder. The Purchaser and its assignee has the right to assign its
interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser, and their permitted successors and assigns.
SECTION 14. Amendments.

MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE

<PAGE>
EXHIBIT B
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
REGARDING THE INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller hereby represents and
warrants, as of the date hereinbelow specified or, if no such date is specified,
as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule B-1 hereto, that:
(i) Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer thereof
to the Depositor, the Purchaser had good and marketable title to, and was the
sole owner and holder of, such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all
liens, encumbrances and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other
than, in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service such
Mortgage Loan). Such transfer validly assigns ownership of such Mortgage Loan to
the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest.
(ii) Authority to Transfer Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser has full right and
authority to sell, assign and transfer such Mortgage Loan. No provision of the
Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan document relating to such Mortgage Loan
prohibits or restricts the Purchaser's right to assign or transfer such Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto was
true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(iv) Payment Record. Such Mortgage Loan was not as of the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan, and has not been during the twelve-month period prior
thereto, 30 days or more delinquent in respect of any debt service payment
required thereunder, without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
(v) Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the
Agreement of which this Exhibit B forms a part) do not materially interfere with
the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage, the current use or
operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the
Mortgaged Property to generate net operating income sufficient to service the
Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property
or a multifamily property, the Mortgage, together with any separate security
agreement, similar agreement and UCC financing statement, if any, establishes
and creates a first priority, perfected security interest (subject only to any
prior purchase money security interest), to the extent such security interest
can be perfected by the recordation of a Mortgage or the filing of a UCC
financing statement, in all personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is
used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the related Mortgaged
Property.
(vi) Title Insurance. The lien of the related Mortgage is insured by an
ALTA lender's title insurance policy ("Title Policy"), or its equivalent as
adopted in the applicable jurisdiction,
B-1
<PAGE>
issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the
originator of such Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan after all advances of principal, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances
(or, if a title insurance policy has not yet been issued in respect of the
Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the foregoing description is evidenced by a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such loan). Each
Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided
thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and,
to the Seller's knowledge, no material claims have been made thereunder and no
claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has, by
act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under
such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the
related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be
issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of the
Trustee without the consent of or notice to the insurer.
(vii) No Waivers by Seller of Material Defaults. Neither the Seller nor the
Purchaser has waived any material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
(viii) No Offsets, Defenses or Counterclaims. There is no valid offset,
defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan.
(ix) Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in any
engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of (or obtained
in connection with or otherwise following the Seller's acquisition of) such
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Seller's knowledge,
free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its
value as security for such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has no actual notice of the
commencement of a proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion
of the related Mortgaged Property.
(x) Compliance with Usury Laws. Such Mortgage Loan complied with all
applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
(xi) Full Disbursement of Mortgage Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of such
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder.
(xii) Enforceability. The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and all other
documents and instruments evidencing, guaranteeing, insuring or otherwise
securing such Mortgage Loan have been duly and properly executed by the parties
thereto, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the
foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency legislation),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or
other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
B-2
<PAGE>
(xiii) Insurance. All improvements upon the related Mortgaged Property are
insured against loss by hazards of extended coverage in an amount (subject to a
customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and 100% of the full replacement cost of the
improvements located on such Mortgaged Property and the related hazard insurance
policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of
co-insurance provisions and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for
depreciation. If any portion of the related Mortgaged Property was, at the time
of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, and flood insurance was available, a flood insurance policy meeting any
requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of such
Mortgaged Property, (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and (4) 100% of the
replacement cost of the improvements located on such Mortgaged Property. In
addition, the Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the
Mortgaged Property comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts
generally required by the Seller, and at least twelve months rental or business
interruption insurance, and all such insurance required by the Mortgage to be
maintained is in full force and effect. Each such insurance policy requires
prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation, and
no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of
premiums, that has not been cured.
(xiv) Environmental Condition. The related Mortgaged Property was subject
to one or more environmental site assessments (or an update of a previously
conducted assessment), which was (were) performed on behalf of the Seller, or as
to which the related report was delivered to the Seller in connection with its
origination or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan; and the Seller, having made no
independent inquiry other than reviewing the resulting report(s) and/or
employing an environmental consultant to perform the assessment(s) referenced
herein, has no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental conditions or
circumstance affecting such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the
related report(s). The Seller has not taken any action with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that could subject the
Purchaser, or its successors and assigns in respect of the Mortgage Loan, to any
liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA") or any other applicable federal,
state or local environmental law, and the Seller has not received any actual
notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or
local environmental law with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that was
not disclosed in the related report. The related Mortgage or loan documents in
the related Mortgage File requires the Mortgagor to comply with all applicable
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
(xv) No Cross-Collateralization with Other Mortgage Loans. Such Mortgage
Loan is not cross-collateralized with any mortgage loan that will not be
included in the Trust Fund.
B-3
<PAGE>
(xvi) Waivers and Modifications. The terms of the related Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related Mortgage File.
(xvii) Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents,
assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to
or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this
representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be
considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be
payable thereon.
(xviii) Mortgagor's Interest in Mortgaged Property. Except in the case of
_________ Mortgage Loans as to which the interest of the related Mortgagor is in
whole or in part a leasehold estate, the interest of the related Mortgagor in
the related Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property.
(xix) Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a
participation interest.
(xx) Valid Assignment. The original assignment of the Mortgage, in
recordable form, executed by the most recent assignee of record thereof prior to
the Trustee or, if none, by the originator, either in blank or in favor of the
Trustee (in such capacity) included in the Mortgage File constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the
Trustee. The Assignment of Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the
related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject only to Permitted

or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or
possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage,
and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related
assignment of any Assignment of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and
delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form and constitutes a legal,

of such Mortgage Loan and, to the actual knowledge of the Seller, as of the
Closing Date, the related Mortgaged Property was and is free and clear of any

insured against by the Title Policy referred to in (vi) above.

Mortgaged Property at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan lay outside
the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property to any material
extent (unless affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in
paragraph (vi) above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached
upon such Mortgaged Property to any material extent. To the Seller's knowledge,
based upon opinions of counsel and/or other due diligence customarily performed

(xxv) No Material Default. (A) To the Seller's knowledge, there exists no
material default, breach or event of acceleration under the related Mortgage or
Mortgage Note, and (B) the Seller has not received actual notice of any event
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time
or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute

event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered
or addressed by any other representation and warranty made by the Seller herein.

Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the
Mortgage Loan.
(xxix) Licenses, Permits, Etc. To the Seller's knowledge, based on due
diligence customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(xxxi) Customary Remedies. The related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, together
with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions

realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of
the security intended to be provided thereby.
(xxxii) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. The related Mortgage provides
that insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds will be applied for one of the

Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan and either: (A) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest
in real property having a fair market value (1) at the date the Mortgage Loan
was originated at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan or (2) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80 percent of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan on such date; provided that for purposes
hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be
reduced by (X) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is
senior to the Mortgage Loan and (Y) a proportionate amount of any lien that is
in parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan
that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the
computation described in clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph (xxxiii) shall be
made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the fair market values of the
Mortgaged Properties securing such cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans; or (B)
substantially all the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire,
improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such
Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third party credit
enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section

(xxxiv) LTV and Significant Modifications. If the Mortgage Loan was
"significantly modified" prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (A) was modified as a result
of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (B)
satisfies the provisions of either clause (A)(1) of paragraph (xxxiii)
(substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage
Loan was originated) or clause (A)(2) of paragraph (xxxiii), including the
proviso thereto.

certificate and representation made by the tenant under the Credit
Lease or representations made by the related borrower under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, as of the closing date of each Credit Lease
Loan (1) each Credit Lease was in full force and effect, and no

Lease, nor is there any existing condition which, but for the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in a default
under the terms of the Credit Lease, (2) none of the terms of the
Credit Lease have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect (except as described in the related tenant estoppel), (3) no
tenant has been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations
under the Credit Leases, (4) there is no right of rescission, offset,
abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim to any Credit Lease,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Credit Leases, or
the exercise of any rights thereunder, render the Credit Lease
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, offset, abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim,
and no such right of rescission, offset, abatement, diminution,
defense or counterclaim has been asserted with respect thereto, and

pay the entire amount of scheduled interest and principal on the
Credit Lease Loan, subject to the rights of the Tenant to terminate
the Credit Lease or offset, abate, suspend or otherwise diminish any
amounts payable by the tenant under the Credit Lease. Each Credit
Lease Loan either (i) fully amortizes over its original term and has
no "balloon" payment of rent due under the related Credit Lease or
(ii) is a Balloon Loan, for which a residual value insurance policy
has been obtained that requires the payment of an amount at least
equal to the Balloon Payment due on the related Maturity Date;

termination the payment in full of: (a) the principal balance of the

Under the Credit Lease for each Credit Lease Loan, upon the occurrence
of a casualty or condemnation, the tenant has no right of rent
abatement, except to the extent of coverage provided by the related
lease enhancement insurance policy;
(J) The terms of any guaranty of the payment and performance obligations
of the tenant under any Credit Lease are unconditional and provide for
guaranty of payment and not of collection; and
(K) The Borrower under the Mortgage Loan identified as GMACCM Loan No.

qualified by its knowledge, has not made any material representation
or warranty under the Credit Lease that would impose any material
monetary obligation upon the Borrower or result in the termination of
the Credit Lease.
(xxxvi) Litigation. To the Seller's actual knowledge, there are no pending
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, would
materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property or the
ability of the Mortgagor to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due
under such Mortgage Loan.
(xxxvii) Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related
Mortgagor's fee simple interest in real estate or the related Mortgage Loan is
secured in whole or in part by the interest of the Mortgagor as a lessee under a
ground lease of the Mortgaged Property (a
B-8
<PAGE>
"Ground Lease"). Any Mortgage Loan that is secured by the interest of the
Mortgagor under a Ground Lease may or may not be secured by the related fee
interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"). If a Mortgage Loan is
secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, either (1) the ground lessor's
Fee Interest is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage or (2) the following
apply to such Ground Lease:
(A) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, based on due diligence
customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or
will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel
letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related
lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered
by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the
payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes
reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related
Mortgage File;
(B) The lessee's interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens
or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related
Mortgage, other than the ground lessor's related fee interest and
Permitted Encumbrances;
(C) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without
the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if 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 Purchaser
and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to
obtain the consent of, such lessor;
(D) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Seller has
received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder,
and, to the Seller's actual knowledge, there exists no condition that,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(E) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by
the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee under such
Mortgage Loan has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in
accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease, and such Ground
Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, 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;
(F) The mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable
opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain
possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to
cure any default under such Ground
B-9
<PAGE>
Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such
default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(G) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension
options set forth therein) which extends not less than ten years
beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(H) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking, will be applied either to
the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan or a trustee
appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as
the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a
provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent
commercial mortgage lender), or to the payment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued
interest thereon;
(I) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which
would be viewed, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, as commercially unreasonable by the Seller; and such Ground
Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted,
in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession,
interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of the lessee, or in any
manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided
by the related Mortgage; and
(J) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor to enter into a new lease in the event of a termination of
the Ground Lease by reason of a default by the Mortgagor under the
Ground Lease, including, rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding.
(xxxviii) Deed of Trust. If the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly
designated and serving under such Mortgage.
(xxxix) Lien Releases. Except in cases where either (a) a release of a
portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination of the
Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of
underwriting the Mortgage Loan or (b) release is conditioned upon the
satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a
release price, the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage does not require the holder
thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan.
B-10
<PAGE>
(xl) Junior Liens. The Mortgage Loan does not permit the related Mortgaged
Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the
lien of the related Mortgage (excluding any lien relating to another Mortgage
Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) without the prior
written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service
coverage or similar conditions specified therein.
(xli) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. To the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgagor is not
a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
(xlii) Due Organization of Mortgagors. As of the date of origination of
each Mortgage, each related Mortgagor which is not a natural person was duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction.
(xliii) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage Loan contains provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan if, without complying with the requirements of such Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or
indirectly transferred or sold.
(xliv) Single Purpose Entity. The related Mortgagor is an entity, other
than an individual, whose organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan
Documents provide substantially to the effect that the Mortgagor: (A) is formed
or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the
Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, (B) may not engage in any
business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, (C) does
not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and
operation of such Mortgage Property or Mortgaged Properties, (D) may not incur
indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Mortgage
Loan Documents, (E) has its own books and records separate and apart from any
other person, and (F) holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart
from any other person.
(xlv) Defeasance Provisions. Any Mortgage Loan which contains a provision
for any defeasance of mortgage collateral either (A) requires the consent of the
holder of the Mortgage Loan to any defeasance, or (B) permits defeasance (i) no
earlier than two years after the Closing Date (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1999), (ii) only with substitute
collateral constituting "government securities" within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. ss. 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i), and (iii) only to facilitate the disposition of
mortgage real property and not as a part of an arrangement to collateralize a
REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages.

agent or other person, other than the Seller, the Underwriters,
the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, that may
be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with
the sale of the Mortgage Loans or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(viii) 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 of or compliance by the Purchaser with this
Agreement, or the consummation by the Purchaser of any transaction
contemplated hereby, other than (1) such consents, approvals,
authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings or notices
as have been obtained or made and (2) where the lack of such
consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration,
filing or notice would not have a material adverse effect on the
performance by the Purchaser under this Agreement.

(b) The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other
date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and
for the benefit of the Seller, and its successors and assigns, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan each of the representations and warranties set forth below:
(i) Immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Depositor, the
Purchaser had whatever title to such Mortgage Loan as was conveyed
to it by Seller, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances
and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other than,
in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service
such Mortgage Loan) created by the Purchaser. Such transfer
validly assigns such title to such Mortgage Loan to the Depositor
free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest created by the Purchaser;
(ii) The Purchaser has full right and authority to sell, assign and
transfer its interest in such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) The Purchaser has not done anything that would materially impair
the coverage under the lender's title insurance policy that
insures the lien of the related Mortgage;
(iv) The Purchaser has not waived any material default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note;
(v) To the Purchaser's actual knowledge, without independent inquiry
as to the provisions of the Mortgage Loans, there is no valid
offset, defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan arising out
of the Purchaser's actions or holding of the Mortgage Loans; and
(vi) The terms of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage Note have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified by the Purchaser in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related
Mortgage File;
provided that, with respect to the representations and warranties in clauses
(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, such representations and warranties cover only
actions taken directly by the Purchaser and its Affiliates or taken by the
Seller at the direction of the Purchaser.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Seller, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party hereto.
SECTION 4. Repurchases.
6
<PAGE>
(a) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice by the
Seller, from either the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, of a
Defect (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date) in respect of the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or a breach
of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2(a) and set forth in
Exhibit B (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially
and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
the Purchaser or its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the
Depositor, the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates), the Seller shall
cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
in effect on the Closing Date) by payment of such Purchase Price by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such
owner(s); provided, however, that in lieu of effecting any such repurchase, the
Seller will be permitted to deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to
pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect
on the Closing Date.
If the Seller is notified of a Defect in any Mortgage File that corresponds
to information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Seller shall
promptly correct such Defect and provide a new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, which corrected Mortgage
Loan Schedule shall be deemed to amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan
Schedule for all purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), within 60 days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of notice by the Seller, from either the Purchaser or any
successor or assign thereof, that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price by payment of such Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account designated by such owner(s).
In addition, if, as of the Closing Date, any Mortgage Loan is secured by a
Mortgage that does not constitute a valid first lien upon the related Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings located thereon and all fixtures attached
thereto, or if a Mortgage is subject to something other than (A) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record, (C) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to
in the lender's title insurance policy issued or, as evidenced by a "marked-up"
commitment, to be issued in respect of such Mortgage Loan and (D) those
exceptions set forth on Schedule B-1 to Exhibit B hereto (the exceptions set
forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) collectively, "Permitted
Encumbrances"), or if the insurer that issued the Title Policy referred to in
clause (vi) of Exhibit B hereto in respect of any Mortgage Loan was not
qualified to do business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located, and in either case such failure materially and adversely affects the
interests of holders of Certificates (any such failure that materially and
7
<PAGE>
adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates, also a "Breach"),
the Seller shall be required, at its option, to either (i) cure such Breach in
all material respects or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan, in each
case, within the applicable Permitted Cure Period. If any such Breach is not
corrected or cured in all material respects within the applicable Permitted Cure
Period, the Seller shall, not later than the last day of such Permitted Cure
Period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser or its
assignee at the applicable Purchase Price or (ii) if within the three-month
period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing
on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective obligation"
within the meaning of Section 860(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at its option, replace such Mortgage Loan with
a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay any corresponding Substitution
Shortfall Amount. The Seller agrees that any such repurchase or substitution
shall be completed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph only, the "Permitted Cure Period"
applicable to any Breach in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be the 90-day
period immediately following the earlier of the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice of such Breach; provided that if such Breach
cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period,
but it is reasonably likely that such Breach could be corrected or cured within
180 days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller and receipt by the Seller of
notice of such Breach, and the Seller is diligently attempting to effect such
correction or cure, then the applicable Permitted Cure Period shall, with the
consent of the Purchaser or its assignee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), be extended for an additional 90 days.
(c) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 4, the then owner(s) thereof shall tender or
cause to be tendered promptly to the Seller, upon delivery of a receipt executed
by the Seller, the related Mortgage File and Servicing File, and each document
that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to
the Purchaser or the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be,
to the Seller or its designee in the same manner. The form and sufficiency of
all such instruments and certificates shall be the responsibility of the Seller.
(d) This Section 4 provides the sole remedies available to the Purchaser,
and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates) respecting any Defect in a
Mortgage File or any breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2(a) and set forth in Exhibit B, or in connection with the circumstances
described in Section 4(b). If the Seller defaults on its obligations to
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4(a) or 4(b)
or disputes its obligation to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in
accordance with either such subsection, the Purchaser or its successors and
assigns may take such action as is appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all
necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
enforcement. The remedies
8
<PAGE>
provided in this Section 4 shall replace and amend and restate in their entirety
the provisions of Section 4.3 of the Column Purchase Agreement with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 5. Conveyance of Mortgage Files.
(a) In connection with the Purchaser's assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby covenants with the Seller that, at least five (5) Business Days before
the Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement) for each Mortgage Loan so assigned to the extent that such Mortgage
File was delivered to the Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to so deliver
each such Mortgage File to the Trustee, the Seller and its successors and
assigns shall be entitled to pursue any rights or remedies in respect of such
failure as may be available under applicable law.
(b) For the benefit of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns, the
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor intends to cause the Trustee
to perform a limited review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans
to enable the Trustee to confirm to the Depositor on or before the Closing Date
that the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement has been delivered to the Trustee with respect to each
such Mortgage File. If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered as to
any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, the Seller shall deliver a copy
or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit
certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed. If the Seller
cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original
or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses
(ii), (iv), (viii), (xi)(A) and (xii) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with evidence of recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused
by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has
been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded
document has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and
subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements of this Section
5 shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such
missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File,
provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence of
recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to
multiple documents and/or instruments) by the Seller to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may
be) has been delivered to the Trustee, and either the original of such missing
document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with evidence of recording or filing,
as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to or at the direction of the
Depositor or Trustee within 180 days of the Closing Date (or within such longer
period after the Closing Date as the Trustee (or such subsequent owner) may
consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the
Seller has provided the Depositor or Trustee with evidence of such recording or
filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Depositor or Trustee as to
the occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as
certified to the Trustee no less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting
to obtain from the appropriate county recorder's or filing office such original
or copy).
9
<PAGE>
(c) If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any
Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender's title insurance
policy referred to in clause (ix) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery
requirements of this Section 5 shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such
missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the
related Mortgage File, provided that the Seller has delivered to the Trustee a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan,
and the Seller shall deliver to or at the direction of the Depositor or Trustee,
promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender's title
insurance policy (or a copy thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if there exists with respect to any group of
related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document
referred to in Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement covering all
the Mortgage Loans in such group, then the inclusion of the original of such
document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall
be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) As to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs
associated with (i) the recording or filing, as the case may be, of each
assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (v) of Exhibit B to the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and each UCC-2 and UCC-3, if any, referred to in clause (xi)(B)
of Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and (ii) the delivery of a
copy of any such document or instrument to the Master Servicer promptly
following its return to the Trustee or its designee after such recording or
filing; provided that the Seller shall not be responsible for actually recording
or filing any such document or instrument. If any such document or instrument is
lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may
be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at
the direction of the Depositor or the Trustee for recording or filing, as
appropriate, at the Seller's expense.
SECTION 6. 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 Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser or its designee.
SECTION 7. Costs.
Costs relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement shall be borne by the Seller.
SECTION 8. Indemnification.
(a) The Purchaser (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which it
10
<PAGE>
may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon the breach of any of
the Purchaser's representations or warranties contained in Section 3(b) of this
Agreement. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the
Purchaser may otherwise have.
(b) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, or (ii) any investigation made by any indemnified party.
SECTION 9. 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.
SECTION 10. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11. 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 THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
EXCEPT THAT THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 12. 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 13. Successors and Assigns.

The rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be

any corporation or other entity 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 and its assignee has the right to assign its
interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser, and their permitted successors and assigns.
SECTION 14. Amendments.
No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, modified or

MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE

<PAGE>
EXHIBIT B
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
REGARDING THE INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller hereby represents and
warrants, as of the date hereinbelow specified or, if no such date is specified,
as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule B-1 hereto, that:
(i) Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer thereof
to the Depositor, the Purchaser had good and marketable title to, and was the
sole owner and holder of, such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all
liens, encumbrances and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other
than, in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service such
Mortgage Loan). Such transfer validly assigns ownership of such Mortgage Loan to
the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest.
(ii) Authority to Transfer Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser has full right and
authority to sell, assign and transfer such Mortgage Loan. No provision of the
Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan document relating to such Mortgage Loan
prohibits or restricts the Purchaser's right to assign or transfer such Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto was
true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(iv) Payment Record. Such Mortgage Loan was not as of the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan, and has not been during the twelve-month period prior
thereto, 30 days or more delinquent in respect of any debt service payment
required thereunder, without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
(v) Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the
Agreement of which this Exhibit B forms a part) do not materially interfere with
the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage, the current use or
operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the
Mortgaged Property to generate net operating income sufficient to service the
Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property
or a multifamily property, the Mortgage, together with any separate security
agreement, similar agreement and UCC financing statement, if any, establishes
and creates a first priority, perfected security interest (subject only to any
prior purchase money security interest), to the extent such security interest
can be perfected by the recordation of a Mortgage or the filing of a UCC
financing statement, in all personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is
used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the related Mortgaged
Property.
(vi) Title Insurance. The lien of the related Mortgage is insured by an
ALTA lender's title insurance policy ("Title Policy"), or its equivalent as
adopted in the applicable jurisdiction,
B-1
<PAGE>
issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the
originator of such Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan after all advances of principal, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances
(or, if a title insurance policy has not yet been issued in respect of the
Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the foregoing description is evidenced by a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such loan). Each
Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided
thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and,
to the Seller's knowledge, no material claims have been made thereunder and no
claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has, by
act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under
such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the
related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be
issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of the
Trustee without the consent of or notice to the insurer.
(vii) No Waivers by Seller of Material Defaults. Neither the Seller nor the
Purchaser has waived any material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
(viii) No Offsets, Defenses or Counterclaims. There is no valid offset,
defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan.
(ix) Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in any
engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of (or obtained
in connection with or otherwise following the Seller's acquisition of) such
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Seller's knowledge,
free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its
value as security for such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has no actual notice of the
commencement of a proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion
of the related Mortgaged Property.
(x) Compliance with Usury Laws. Such Mortgage Loan complied with all
applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
(xi) Full Disbursement of Mortgage Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of such
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder.
(xii) Enforceability. The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and all other
documents and instruments evidencing, guaranteeing, insuring or otherwise
securing such Mortgage Loan have been duly and properly executed by the parties
thereto, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the
foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency legislation),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or
other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
B-2
<PAGE>
(xiii) Insurance. All improvements upon the related Mortgaged Property are
insured against loss by hazards of extended coverage in an amount (subject to a
customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and 100% of the full replacement cost of the
improvements located on such Mortgaged Property and the related hazard insurance
policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of
co-insurance provisions and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for
depreciation. If any portion of the related Mortgaged Property was, at the time
of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, and flood insurance was available, a flood insurance policy meeting any
requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of such
Mortgaged Property, (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and (4) 100% of the
replacement cost of the improvements located on such Mortgaged Property. In
addition, the Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the
Mortgaged Property comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts
generally required by the Seller, and at least twelve months rental or business
interruption insurance, and all such insurance required by the Mortgage to be
maintained is in full force and effect. Each such insurance policy requires
prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation, and
no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of
premiums, that has not been cured.
(xiv) Environmental Condition. The related Mortgaged Property was subject
to one or more environmental site assessments (or an update of a previously
conducted assessment), which was (were) performed on behalf of the Seller, or as
to which the related report was delivered to the Seller in connection with its
origination or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan; and the Seller, having made no
independent inquiry other than reviewing the resulting report(s) and/or
employing an environmental consultant to perform the assessment(s) referenced
herein, has no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental conditions or
circumstance affecting such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the
related report(s). The Seller has not taken any action with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that could subject the
Purchaser, or its successors and assigns in respect of the Mortgage Loan, to any
liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA") or any other applicable federal,
state or local environmental law, and the Seller has not received any actual
notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or
local environmental law with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that was
not disclosed in the related report. The related Mortgage or loan documents in
the related Mortgage File requires the Mortgagor to comply with all applicable
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
(xv) No Cross-Collateralization with Other Mortgage Loans. Such Mortgage
Loan is not cross-collateralized with any mortgage loan that will not be
included in the Trust Fund.
B-3
<PAGE>
(xvi) Waivers and Modifications. The terms of the related Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related Mortgage File.
(xvii) Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents,
assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to
or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this
representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be
considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be
payable thereon.
(xviii) Mortgagor's Interest in Mortgaged Property. Except in the case of
_________ Mortgage Loans as to which the interest of the related Mortgagor is in
whole or in part a leasehold estate, the interest of the related Mortgagor in
the related Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property.
(xix) Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a
participation interest.
(xx) Valid Assignment. The original assignment of the Mortgage, in
recordable form, executed by the most recent assignee of record thereof prior to
the Trustee or, if none, by the originator, either in blank or in favor of the
Trustee (in such capacity) included in the Mortgage File constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the
Trustee. The Assignment of Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the
related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances, enforceable first priority lien and first priority security
interest in the related Mortgagor's interest in all leases, subleases, licenses
or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or
possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage,
and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related
assignment of any Assignment of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and
delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein
all of the assignor's right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment
of Leases.
(xxi) Escrows. All escrow deposits relating to such Mortgage Loan that are,
as of the Closing Date, required to be deposited with the mortgagee or its agent
have been so deposited.
(xxii) No Mechanics' or Materialmen's Liens. As of the date of origination
of such Mortgage Loan and, to the actual knowledge of the Seller, as of the
Closing Date, the related Mortgaged Property was and is free and clear of any
mechanics' and materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof which create a
lien prior to that created by the related Mortgage, except those which are
insured against by the Title Policy referred to in (vi) above.
B-4
<PAGE>
(xxiii) No Material Encroachments. 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 any material
extent (unless affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in
paragraph (vi) above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached
upon such Mortgaged Property to any material extent. To the Seller's knowledge,
based upon opinions of counsel and/or other due diligence customarily performed
by the Seller, the improvements located on or forming part of such Mortgaged
Property comply in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and
ordinances (except to the extent that they may constitute legal non-conforming
uses).

(xxv) No Material Default. (A) To the Seller's knowledge, there exists no
material default, breach or event of acceleration under the related Mortgage or
Mortgage Note, and (B) the Seller has not received actual notice of any event
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time
or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute

that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or
event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered

to the Mortgage Loan have complied with applicable law in all material respects
and are consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(xxxi) Customary Remedies. The related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, together
with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions
(subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (xii)) such as to render the
rights and remedies of the holders thereof adequate for the practical
realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of
the security intended to be provided thereby.
(xxxii) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. The related Mortgage provides
that insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds will be applied for one of the
following purposes: either to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property, or to
repay the principal of the Mortgage Loan, or otherwise at the option of the
holder of the Mortgage.
(xxxiii) LTV. The gross proceeds of such Mortgage Loan to the related
Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan and either: (A) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest
in real property having a fair market value (1) at the date the Mortgage Loan
was originated at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan or (2) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80 percent of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan on such date; provided that for purposes
hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be
reduced by (X) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is
senior to the Mortgage Loan and (Y) a proportionate amount of any lien that is
in parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan
that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the
computation described in clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph (xxxiii) shall be
made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the fair market values of the
Mortgaged Properties securing such cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans; or (B)
substantially all the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire,
improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such
Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third party credit
enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section

(xxxiv) LTV and Significant Modifications. If the Mortgage Loan was
"significantly modified" prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (A) was modified as a result
of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (B)
satisfies the provisions of either clause (A)(1) of paragraph (xxxiii)
(substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage
Loan was originated) or clause (A)(2) of paragraph (xxxiii), including the
proviso thereto.
(xxxv) Credit Lease Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is a
Credit Lease Loan:

customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and
remedies of the lessor thereunder adequate for the enforcement and
satisfaction of the lessor's rights thereunder;
(B) To the Seller's knowledge, in reliance on a tenant estoppel
certificate and representation made by the tenant under the Credit
Lease or representations made by the related borrower under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, as of the closing date of each Credit Lease
Loan (1) each Credit Lease was in full force and effect, and no
default by the borrower or the tenant has occurred under the Credit
Lease, nor is there any existing condition which, but for the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in a default
under the terms of the Credit Lease, (2) none of the terms of the
Credit Lease have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect (except as described in the related tenant estoppel), (3) no
tenant has been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations
under the Credit Leases, (4) there is no right of rescission, offset,
abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim to any Credit Lease,

the exercise of any rights thereunder, render the Credit Lease
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, offset, abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim,
and no such right of rescission, offset, abatement, diminution,
defense or counterclaim has been asserted with respect thereto, and
(5) each Credit Lease has a term ending on or after the final maturity
of the related Credit Lease Loan;
(C) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any lease other than the
related Credit Lease, no Person has any possessory interest in, or
right to occupy, the Mortgaged Property except under and pursuant to
such Credit Lease and the tenant under the related Credit Lease is in
occupancy of the Mortgaged Property;
(D) The lease payments under the related Credit Lease are sufficient to
pay the entire amount of scheduled interest and principal on the
Credit Lease Loan, subject to the rights of the Tenant to terminate
the Credit Lease or offset, abate, suspend or otherwise diminish any
amounts payable by the tenant under the Credit Lease. Each Credit
Lease Loan either (i) fully amortizes over its original term and has
no "balloon" payment of rent due under the related Credit Lease or
(ii) is a Balloon Loan, for which a residual value insurance policy
has been obtained that requires the payment of an amount at least
equal to the Balloon Payment due on the related Maturity Date;
(E) Under the terms of the Credit Leases, the lessee is not permitted to
assign its interest or obligations under the Credit Lease unless such

B-7
<PAGE>

termination the payment in full of: (a) the principal balance of the

Under the Credit Lease for each Credit Lease Loan, upon the occurrence
of a casualty or condemnation, the tenant has no right of rent
abatement, except to the extent of coverage provided by the related
lease enhancement insurance policy;
(J) The terms of any guaranty of the payment and performance obligations
of the tenant under any Credit Lease are unconditional and provide for
guaranty of payment and not of collection; and
(K) The Borrower under the Mortgage Loan identified as GMACCM Loan No.

providing estoppel certificates, and (c) except for representations
qualified by its knowledge, has not made any material representation
or warranty under the Credit Lease that would impose any material
monetary obligation upon the Borrower or result in the termination of
the Credit Lease.
(xxxvi) Litigation. To the Seller's actual knowledge, there are no pending
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, would
materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property or the
ability of the Mortgagor to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due
under such Mortgage Loan.
(xxxvii) Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related
Mortgagor's fee simple interest in real estate or the related Mortgage Loan is
secured in whole or in part by the interest of the Mortgagor as a lessee under a
ground lease of the Mortgaged Property (a
B-8
<PAGE>
"Ground Lease"). Any Mortgage Loan that is secured by the interest of the
Mortgagor under a Ground Lease may or may not be secured by the related fee
interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"). If a Mortgage Loan is
secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, either (1) the ground lessor's
Fee Interest is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage or (2) the following
apply to such Ground Lease:
(A) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, based on due diligence
customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or
will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel
letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related
lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered
by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the
payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes
reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related
Mortgage File;
(B) The lessee's interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens
or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related
Mortgage, other than the ground lessor's related fee interest and
Permitted Encumbrances;
(C) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without
the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if 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 Purchaser
and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to
obtain the consent of, such lessor;
(D) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Seller has
received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder,
and, to the Seller's actual knowledge, there exists no condition that,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(E) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by
the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee under such
Mortgage Loan has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in
accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease, and such Ground
Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, 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;
(F) The mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable
opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain
possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to
cure any default under such Ground
B-9
<PAGE>
Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such
default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(G) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension
options set forth therein) which extends not less than ten years
beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(H) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking, will be applied either to
the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan or a trustee
appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as
the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a
provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent
commercial mortgage lender), or to the payment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued
interest thereon;
(I) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which
would be viewed, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, as commercially unreasonable by the Seller; and such Ground
Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted,
in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession,
interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of the lessee, or in any
manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided
by the related Mortgage; and
(J) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor to enter into a new lease in the event of a termination of
the Ground Lease by reason of a default by the Mortgagor under the
Ground Lease, including, rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding.
(xxxviii) Deed of Trust. If the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly
designated and serving under such Mortgage.
(xxxix) Lien Releases. Except in cases where either (a) a release of a
portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination of the
Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of
underwriting the Mortgage Loan or (b) release is conditioned upon the
satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a
release price, the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage does not require the holder
thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan.
B-10
<PAGE>
(xl) Junior Liens. The Mortgage Loan does not permit the related Mortgaged
Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the
lien of the related Mortgage (excluding any lien relating to another Mortgage
Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) without the prior
written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service
coverage or similar conditions specified therein.
(xli) Mortgagor Bankruptcy. To the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgagor is not
a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
(xlii) Due Organization of Mortgagors. As of the date of origination of
each Mortgage, each related Mortgagor which is not a natural person was duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction.
(xliii) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage Loan contains provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan if, without complying with the requirements of such Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or
indirectly transferred or sold.
(xliv) Single Purpose Entity. The related Mortgagor is an entity, other
than an individual, whose organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan
Documents provide substantially to the effect that the Mortgagor: (A) is formed
or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the
Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans, (B) may not engage in any
business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, (C) does
not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and
operation of such Mortgage Property or Mortgaged Properties, (D) may not incur
indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Mortgage
Loan Documents, (E) has its own books and records separate and apart from any
other person, and (F) holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart
from any other person.
(xlv) Defeasance Provisions. Any Mortgage Loan which contains a provision
for any defeasance of mortgage collateral either (A) requires the consent of the
holder of the Mortgage Loan to any defeasance, or (B) permits defeasance (i) no
earlier than two years after the Closing Date (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1999), (ii) only with substitute
collateral constituting "government securities" within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. ss. 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i), and (iii) only to facilitate the disposition of
mortgage real property and not as a part of an arrangement to collateralize a
REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages.

(i) Immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Depositor, the
Purchaser had whatever title to such Mortgage Loan as was conveyed
to it by Seller, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances
and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other than,
in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service
such Mortgage Loan) created by the Purchaser. Such transfer
validly assigns such title to such Mortgage Loan to the Depositor

interest created by the Purchaser;
(ii) The Purchaser has full right and authority to sell, assign and
transfer its interest in such Mortgage Loan;

Mortgage or Mortgage Note;
(v) To the Purchaser's actual knowledge, without independent inquiry
as to the provisions of the Mortgage Loans, there is no valid
offset, defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan arising out
of the Purchaser's actions or holding of the Mortgage Loans; and
(vi) The terms of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage Note have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified by the Purchaser in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related
Mortgage File;
provided that, with respect to the representations and warranties in clauses
(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, such representations and warranties cover only
actions taken directly by the Purchaser and its Affiliates or taken by the
Seller at the direction of the Purchaser.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth above which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Seller, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other party hereto.

SECTION 4. Repurchases.
(a) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice by the
Seller, from either the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, of a
Defect (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date) in respect of the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or a breach
of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2(a) and set forth in
Exhibit B (a "Breach"), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially
and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
the Purchaser or its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the
Depositor, the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates), the Seller shall
cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
in effect on the Closing Date) by payment of such Purchase Price by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such
owner(s); provided, however, that in lieu of effecting any such repurchase, the
Seller will be permitted to deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to
pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect
on the Closing Date.
If the Seller is notified of a Defect in any Mortgage File that corresponds
to information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Seller shall
promptly correct such Defect and provide a new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule
to the Purchaser or any successor or assign thereof, which corrected Mortgage
Loan Schedule shall be deemed to amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan
Schedule for all purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), within 60 days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of notice by the Seller, from either the Purchaser or any
successor or assign thereof, that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the then owner(s) thereof at the
applicable Purchase Price by payment of such Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account designated by such owner(s).
In addition, if, as of the Closing Date, any Mortgage Loan is secured by a
Mortgage that does not constitute a valid first lien upon the related Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings located thereon and all fixtures attached
thereto, or if a Mortgage is subject to something other than (A) the lien of
current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (B)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record, (C) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to
in the lender's title insurance policy issued or, as evidenced by a "marked-up"
commitment, to be issued in respect of such Mortgage Loan and (D) those
exceptions set forth on Schedule B-1 to Exhibit B hereto (the exceptions set
forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) collectively, "Permitted
Encumbrances"), or if the insurer that issued the Title Policy referred to in
clause (vi) of Exhibit B hereto in respect of any Mortgage Loan was not
qualified to do business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located, and in either case such failure materially and
7
<PAGE>
adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates (any such failure
that materially and adversely affects the interests of holders of Certificates,
also a "Breach"), the Seller shall be required, at its option, to either (i)
cure such Breach in all material respects or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan, in each case, within the applicable Permitted Cure Period. If any
such Breach is not corrected or cured in all material respects within the
applicable Permitted Cure Period, the Seller shall, not later than the last day
of such Permitted Cure Period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from
the Purchaser or its assignee at the applicable Purchase Price or (ii) if within
the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year
period commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a
"defective obligation" within the meaning of Section 860(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at its option, replace such
Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay any
corresponding Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Seller agrees that any such
repurchase or substitution shall be completed in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph only, the "Permitted Cure Period"
applicable to any Breach in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be the 90-day
period immediately following the earlier of the discovery by the Seller or
receipt by the Seller of notice of such Breach; provided that if such Breach
cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period,
but it is reasonably likely that such Breach could be corrected or cured within
180 days of the earlier of discovery by the Seller and receipt by the Seller of
notice of such Breach, and the Seller is diligently attempting to effect such
correction or cure, then the applicable Permitted Cure Period shall, with the
consent of the Purchaser or its assignee (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), be extended for an additional 90 days.
(c) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage
Loan contemplated by this Section 4, the then owner(s) thereof shall tender or
cause to be tendered promptly to the Seller, upon delivery of a receipt executed
by the Seller, the related Mortgage File and Servicing File, and each document
that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to
the Purchaser or the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be,
to the Seller or its designee in the same manner. The form and sufficiency of
all such instruments and certificates shall be the responsibility of the Seller.
(d) This Section 4 provides the sole remedies available to the Purchaser,
and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the holders of the Certificates) respecting any Defect in a
Mortgage File or any breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2(a) and set forth in Exhibit B, or in connection with the circumstances
described in Section 4(b). If the Seller defaults on its obligations to
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4(a) or 4(b)
or disputes its obligation to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan in
accordance with either such subsection, the Purchaser or its successors and
assigns may take such action as is appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all
necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
enforcement. The remedies
8
<PAGE>
provided in this Section 4 shall replace and amend and restate in their entirety
the provisions of Section 4.3 of the GSMC Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 5. Conveyance of Mortgage Files.
(a) In connection with the Purchaser's assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby covenants with the Seller that, at least five (5) Business Days before
the Closing Date, it shall have delivered to and deposited with the Trustee, the
Mortgage File (as described on Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement) for each Mortgage Loan so assigned to the extent that such Mortgage
File was delivered to the Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to so deliver
each such Mortgage File to the Trustee, the Seller and its successors and
assigns shall be entitled to pursue any rights or remedies in respect of such
failure as may be available under applicable law.
(b) For the benefit of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns, the
Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor intends to cause the Trustee
to perform a limited review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans
to enable the Trustee to confirm to the Depositor on or before the Closing Date
that the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement has been delivered to the Trustee with respect to each
such Mortgage File. If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered as to
any Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage Note, the Seller shall deliver a copy
or duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit
certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed. If the Seller
cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original
or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses
(ii), (iv), (viii), (xi)(A) and (xii) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with evidence of recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused
by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has
been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded
document has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and
subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements of this Section
5 shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such
missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File,
provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence of
recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to
multiple documents and/or instruments) by the Seller to be a true and complete
copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may
be) has been delivered to the Trustee, and either the original of such missing
document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with evidence of recording or filing,
as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to or at the direction of the
Depositor or Trustee within 180 days of the Closing Date (or within such longer
period after the Closing Date as the Trustee (or such subsequent owner) may
consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the
Seller has provided the Depositor or Trustee with evidence of such recording or
filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Depositor or Trustee as to
the occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as
certified to the Trustee no less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting
to obtain from the appropriate county recorder's or filing office such original
or copy).
9
<PAGE>
(c) If the Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any
Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender's title insurance
policy referred to in clause (ix) of Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery
requirements of this Section 5 shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such
missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the
related Mortgage File, provided that the Seller has delivered to the Trustee a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan,
and the Seller shall deliver to or at the direction of the Depositor or Trustee,
promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender's title
insurance policy (or a copy thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if there exists with respect to any group of
related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document
referred to in Exhibit B of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement covering all
the Mortgage Loans in such group, then the inclusion of the original of such
document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall
be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) As to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be responsible for all costs
associated with (i) the recording or filing, as the case may be, of each
assignment referred to in clauses (iii) and (v) of Exhibit B to the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and each UCC-2 and UCC-3, if any, referred to in clause (xi)(B)
of Exhibit B to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and (ii) the delivery of a
copy of any such document or instrument to the Master Servicer promptly
following its return to the Trustee or its designee after such recording or
filing; provided that the Seller shall not be responsible for actually recording
or filing any such document or instrument. If any such document or instrument is
lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may
be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at
the direction of the Depositor or the Trustee for recording or filing, as
appropriate, at the Seller's expense.
SECTION 6. 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 Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser or its designee.
SECTION 7. Costs.
Costs relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement shall be borne by the Seller.
SECTION 8. Indemnification.
(a) The Purchaser (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which it
10
<PAGE>
may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon the breach of any of
the Purchaser's representations or warranties contained in Section 3(b) of this
Agreement. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the
Purchaser may otherwise have.
(b) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, or (ii) any investigation made by any indemnified party.
SECTION 9. 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.
SECTION 10. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11. 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 THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
EXCEPT THAT THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 12. 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.

substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be the successor to the
Seller hereunder. The Purchaser and its assignee has the right to assign its
interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part. Subject to the foregoing,

Seller and the Purchaser, and their permitted successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT A
MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE
A-1
<PAGE>
EXHIBIT B
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
REGARDING THE INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE LOANS
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller hereby represents and
warrants, as of the date hereinbelow specified or, if no such date is specified,
as of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule B-1 hereto, that:
(i) Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer thereof
to the Depositor, the Purchaser had good and marketable title to, and was the
sole owner and holder of, such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all
liens, encumbrances and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (other
than, in certain cases, the right of a subservicer to directly service such
Mortgage Loan). Such transfer validly assigns ownership of such Mortgage Loan to
the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest.
(ii) Authority to Transfer Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser has full right and
authority to sell, assign and transfer such Mortgage Loan. No provision of the
Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan document relating to such Mortgage Loan
prohibits or restricts the Purchaser's right to assign or transfer such Mortgage
Loan.
(iii) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to such Mortgage
Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto was
true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(iv) Payment Record. Such Mortgage Loan was not as of the Cut-off Date for
such Mortgage Loan, and has not been during the twelve-month period prior
thereto, 30 days or more delinquent in respect of any debt service payment
required thereunder, without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
(v) Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the
Agreement of which this Exhibit B forms a part) do not materially interfere with
the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage, the current use or
operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the
Mortgaged Property to generate net operating income sufficient to service the
Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property
or a multifamily property, the Mortgage, together with any separate security
agreement, similar agreement and UCC financing statement, if any, establishes
and creates a first priority, perfected security interest (subject only to any
prior purchase money security interest), to the extent such security interest
can be perfected by the recordation of a Mortgage or the filing of a UCC
financing statement, in all personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is
used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the related Mortgaged
Property.
(vi) Title Insurance. The lien of the related Mortgage is insured by an
ALTA lender's title insurance policy ("Title Policy"), or its equivalent as
adopted in the applicable jurisdiction,
B-1
<PAGE>
issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the
originator of such Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan after all advances of principal, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances
(or, if a title insurance policy has not yet been issued in respect of the
Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the foregoing description is evidenced by a
commitment for title insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such loan). Each
Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided
thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and,
to the Seller's knowledge, no material claims have been made thereunder and no
claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser has, by
act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under
such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the
related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be
issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of the
Trustee without the consent of or notice to the insurer.
(vii) No Waivers by Seller of Material Defaults. Neither the Seller nor the
Purchaser has waived any material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
(viii) No Offsets, Defenses or Counterclaims. There is no valid offset,
defense or counterclaim to such Mortgage Loan.
(ix) Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in any
engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of (or obtained
in connection with or otherwise following the Seller's acquisition of) such
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Seller's knowledge,
free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its
value as security for such Mortgage Loan. The Seller has no actual notice of the
commencement of a proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion
of the related Mortgaged Property.
(x) Compliance with Usury Laws. Such Mortgage Loan complied with all
applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
(xi) Full Disbursement of Mortgage Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of such
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder.
(xii) Enforceability. The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and all other
documents and instruments evidencing, guaranteeing, insuring or otherwise
securing such Mortgage Loan have been duly and properly executed by the parties
thereto, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the
foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency legislation),
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or
other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
B-2
<PAGE>
(xiii) Insurance. All improvements upon the related Mortgaged Property are
insured against loss by hazards of extended coverage in an amount (subject to a
customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal
balance of such Mortgage Loan and 100% of the full replacement cost of the
improvements located on such Mortgaged Property and the related hazard insurance
policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of
co-insurance provisions and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for
depreciation. If any portion of the related Mortgaged Property was, at the time
of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, and flood insurance was available, a flood insurance policy meeting any
requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of such
Mortgaged Property, (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and (4) 100% of the
replacement cost of the improvements located on such Mortgaged Property. In
addition, the Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the
Mortgaged Property comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts
generally required by the Seller, and at least twelve months rental or business
interruption insurance, and all such insurance required by the Mortgage to be
maintained is in full force and effect. Each such insurance policy requires
prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation, and
no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of
premiums, that has not been cured.
(xiv) Environmental Condition. The related Mortgaged Property was subject
to one or more environmental site assessments (or an update of a previously
conducted assessment), which was (were) performed on behalf of the Seller, or as
to which the related report was delivered to the Seller in connection with its
origination or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan; and the Seller, having made no
independent inquiry other than reviewing the resulting report(s) and/or
employing an environmental consultant to perform the assessment(s) referenced
herein, has no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental conditions or
circumstance affecting such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the
related report(s). The Seller has not taken any action with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that could subject the
Purchaser, or its successors and assigns in respect of the Mortgage Loan, to any
liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA") or any other applicable federal,
state or local environmental law, and the Seller has not received any actual
notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or
local environmental law with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that was
not disclosed in the related report. The related Mortgage or loan documents in
the related Mortgage File requires the Mortgagor to comply with all applicable
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
(xv) No Cross-Collateralization with Other Mortgage Loans. Such Mortgage
Loan is not cross-collateralized with any mortgage loan that will not be
included in the Trust Fund.
B-3
<PAGE>
(xvi) Waivers and Modifications. The terms of the related Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
material respect, except as specifically set forth in the related Mortgage File.
(xvii) Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents,
assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges affecting the
related Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to
or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage. For purposes of this
representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be
considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be
payable thereon.
(xviii) Mortgagor's Interest in Mortgaged Property. Except in the case of
_________ Mortgage Loans as to which the interest of the related Mortgagor is in
whole or in part a leasehold estate, the interest of the related Mortgagor in
the related Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property.
(xix) Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a
participation interest.
(xx) Valid Assignment. The original assignment of the Mortgage, in
recordable form, executed by the most recent assignee of record thereof prior to
the Trustee or, if none, by the originator, either in blank or in favor of the
Trustee (in such capacity) included in the Mortgage File constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the
Trustee. The Assignment of Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the
related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances, enforceable first priority lien and first priority security
interest in the related Mortgagor's interest in all leases, subleases, licenses
or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or
possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage,
and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related
assignment of any Assignment of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and
delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein
all of the assignor's right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment
of Leases.
(xxi) Escrows. All escrow deposits relating to such Mortgage Loan that are,
as of the Closing Date, required to be deposited with the mortgagee or its agent
have been so deposited.
(xxii) No Mechanics' or Materialmen's Liens. As of the date of origination
of such Mortgage Loan and, to the actual knowledge of the Seller, as of the
Closing Date, the related Mortgaged Property was and is free and clear of any
mechanics' and materialmen's liens or liens in the nature thereof which create a
lien prior to that created by the related Mortgage, except those which are
insured against by the Title Policy referred to in (vi) above.
B-4
<PAGE>
(xxiii) No Material Encroachments. 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 any material
extent (unless affirmatively covered by the title insurance referred to in
paragraph (vi) above), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached
upon such Mortgaged Property to any material extent. To the Seller's knowledge,
based upon opinions of counsel and/or other due diligence customarily performed
by the Seller, the improvements located on or forming part of such Mortgaged
Property comply in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and
ordinances (except to the extent that they may constitute legal non-conforming
uses).
(xxiv) Originator Authorized. To the extent required under applicable law
as of the Closing Date, the originator of such Mortgage Loan was authorized to
do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is
located at all times when it held the Mortgage Loan to the extent necessary to
ensure the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan.
(xxv) No Material Default. (A) To the Seller's knowledge, there exists no
material default, breach or event of acceleration under the related Mortgage or
Mortgage Note, and (B) the Seller has not received actual notice of any event
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time
or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
such a material default, breach or event of acceleration; provided, however,
that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or
event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered
or addressed by any other representation and warranty made by the Seller herein.
(xxvi) Inspection. In connection with the origination or acquisition of
each Mortgage Loan, the Seller inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged
Property.
(xxvii) No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. The Mortgage Loan
contains no equity participation by the lender, and does not provide for any
contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow
of the related Mortgaged Property, or for negative amortization.
(xxviii) No Advances of Funds. No holder of the Mortgage Loan has, to the
Seller's knowledge, advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the
Mortgage Loan.
(xxix) Licenses, Permits, Etc. To the Seller's knowledge, based on due
diligence customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgagor or operator of the related Mortgaged Property was in possession of all
material licenses, permits and authorizations
B-5
<PAGE>
required by applicable laws for the ownership and operation of the related

with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions

reduced by (X) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is
senior to the Mortgage Loan and (Y) a proportionate amount of any lien that is
in parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan
that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the

Mortgaged Properties securing such cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans; or (B)

Fee Interest is subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage or (2) the following
apply to such Ground Lease:
(A) To the actual knowledge of the Seller, based on due diligence
customarily performed in the origination of comparable mortgage loans
by the Seller, such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or
will be duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel
letter or lender protection agreement between the Seller and related
lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered
by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the
payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, with the exception of material changes
reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related
Mortgage File;

or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related
Mortgage, other than the ground lessor's related fee interest and
Permitted Encumbrances;
(C) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
Purchaser and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without
the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if 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 Purchaser
and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to
obtain the consent of, such lessor;
(D) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and the Seller has
received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder,
and, to the Seller's actual knowledge, there exists no condition that,
but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(E) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by
the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee under such
Mortgage Loan has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in
accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease, and such Ground
Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, 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;
(F) The mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable
opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain
possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease) to
cure any default under such Ground

default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(G) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension
options set forth therein) which extends not less than ten years
beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(H) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking, will be applied either to
the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan or a trustee
appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as
the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a
provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent
commercial mortgage lender), or to the payment of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued
interest thereon;
(I) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which
would be viewed, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, as commercially unreasonable by the Seller; and such Ground
Lease contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted,
in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession,
interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of the lessee, or in any
manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided
by the related Mortgage; and
(J) Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, requires
the lessor to enter into a new lease in the event of a termination of
the Ground Lease by reason of a default by the Mortgagor under the
Ground Lease, including, rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding.

trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly
designated and serving under such Mortgage.
(xxxix) Lien Releases. Except in cases where either (a) a release of a
portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination of the
Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of
underwriting the Mortgage Loan or (b) release is conditioned upon the
satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a
release price, the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage does not require the holder
thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such
Mortgage Loan.

Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the

written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service
coverage or similar conditions specified therein.

each Mortgage, each related Mortgagor which is not a natural person was duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction.

acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan if, without complying with the requirements of such Mortgage Loan, the
related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or
indirectly transferred or sold.
(xliv) Single Purpose Entity. The related Mortgagor is an entity, other

Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1999), (ii) only with substitute
