Exhibit 99.3

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                    This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2005 (the “ Agreement ”), is entered into between Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (the “ Seller ”) and Wachovia Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the “ Purchaser ”).

                    The Seller intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to purchase certain multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the “ Mortgage Loans ”) identified on the schedule (the “ Mortgage Loan Schedule ”) annexed hereto as Exhibit A .  The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans, along with certain other mortgage loans (the “ Other Mortgage Loans ”), into a trust fund (the “ Trust Fund ”), the beneficial ownership of which will be evidenced by multiple classes (each, a “ Class ”) of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “ Certificates ”).  One or more “real estate mortgage investment conduit” (“ REMIC ”) elections will be made with respect to most of the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “ Pooling and Servicing Agreement ”), dated as of March 1, 2005, among the Purchaser, as depositor, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “ Master Servicer ”), Allied Capital Corporation, as special servicer (the “ Special Servicer ”), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “ Trustee ”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein (including the Schedules attached hereto) have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                    Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

                    SECTION 1.      Agreement to Purchase .

          The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The Mortgage Loan Schedule may be amended to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Mortgage Loans are expected to have an aggregate principal balance of $373,946,125 (the “ Citigroup Mortgage Loan Balance ”) (subject to a variance of plus or minus 5.0%) as of the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments due on or before such date, whether or not such payments are received.  The Citigroup Mortgage Loan Balance, together with the aggregate principal balance of the Other Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date (after giving effect to any payments due on or before such date whether or not such payments are received), is expected to equal an aggregate principal balance (the “ Cut-Off Date Pool Balance ”) of $2,723,531,640 (subject to a variance of plus or minus 5.0%).  The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place March 30, 2005, or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties to this Agreement (the “ Closing Date ”).  The consideration (the “ Aggregate Purchase Price ”) for the Mortgage Loans shall be equal to (i) 102.40% of the Citigroup Mortgage Loan Balance as of the Cut-Off Date, plus (ii) $1,733,457, which amount represents the amount of interest accrued on the Citigroup Mortgage Loan Balance at the related Net Mortgage Rate for the period from and including the Cut-Off Date up to but not including the Closing Date.

                    The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller or its designee by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

                    SECTION 2.      Conveyance of Mortgage Loans .

                    (a)     Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the Aggregate Purchase Price and satisfaction of the other conditions to closing that are for the benefit of the Seller, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as set forth in this Agreement), 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, on a servicing released basis, together with all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related title, hazard, primary mortgage or other insurance proceeds.

                    (b)     The Purchaser or its assignee shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due after the Cut-Off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected after the Cut-Off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date).  All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-Off Date but collected on or after the Cut-Off Date, and recoveries of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-Off Date (only in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-Off Date and principal prepayments thereon), shall belong to, and shall be promptly remitted to, the Seller. 

                    (c)     No later than the Closing Date, the Seller shall, on behalf of the Purchaser, deliver to the Trustee, the documents and instruments specified below with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each a “ Mortgage File ”).  All Mortgage Files so delivered will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all times prior to the Closing Date.  Each Mortgage File shall contain the following documents:

                    (d)     The Seller shall take all actions reasonably necessary (i) to permit the Trustee to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) to perform its obligations described in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a draw upon a letter of credit is required before its transfer to the Trust Fund can be completed, the Seller shall draw upon such letter of credit for the benefit of the Trust pursuant to written instructions from the Master Servicer.  The Seller shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Trustee for recording any documents described in Section 2(c)(iv)(c) hereof and filing any assignments of UCC Financing Statements described in the proviso in the third to last sentence in Section 2.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                    (e)     All documents and records (except draft documents, privileged communications and internal correspondence and credit, due diligence and other underwriting analysis, documents, data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications and evaluations of the Seller) relating to each Mortgage Loan and in the Seller’s possession (the “ Additional Mortgage Loan Documents ”) that are not required to be delivered to the Trustee shall promptly be delivered or caused to be delivered by the Seller to the Master Servicer or at the direction of the Master Servicer to the appropriate sub-servicer, together with any related escrow amounts and reserve amounts.

                    (f)     The Seller shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to assign or otherwise grant to the Trust Fund the benefit of any letters of credit in the name of the Seller which secure any Mortgage Loan.

                    SECTION 3.      Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller .

-4-

-5-

                    (b)     The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule I for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders as of the Closing Date, with respect to (and solely with respect to) each Mortgage Loan, which representations and warranties are subject to the exceptions set forth on Schedule II .

                    (c)     With respect to the schedule of exceptions delivered by the Trustee on the Closing Date, within fifteen (15) Business Days (or, in the reasonable discretion of the Controlling Class Representative, thirty (30) Business Days) of the Closing Date, with respect to the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (ix) (solely with respect to Ground Leases) and (xii) of the definition of Mortgage File, the Seller shall cure any material exception listed therein (for the avoidance of doubt, any deficiencies with respect to the documents specified in clause (ii) resulting solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable recording office, shall be cured in the time and manner described in Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).  If such exception is not so cured, the Seller shall either (1) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan, (2) with respect to exceptions relating to clause (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, deposit with the Trustee an amount, to be held in trust in a Special Reserve Account pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, equal to the amount of the undelivered letter of credit (in the alternative, the Seller may deliver to the Trustee, with a certified copy to the Master Servicer and Trustee, a letter of credit for the benefit of the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and upon the same terms and conditions as the undelivered letter of credit) which the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee may use (or draw upon, as the case may be) under the same circumstances and conditions as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to draw on the undelivered letter of credit, or (3) with respect to any exceptions relating to clauses (i), (ii) and (vii), deposit with the Trustee an amount, to be held in trust in a Special Reserve Account pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan on such date.  Any funds or letter of credit deposited pursuant to clauses (2) and (3) shall be held by the Trustee until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Master Servicer certifies to the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative that such exception has been cured (or the Trustee certifies the same to the Controlling Class Representative), at which time such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be returned to the Seller and (y) thirty (30) Business Days or, if the Controlling Class Representative has extended the cure period, forty-five (45) Business Days after the Closing Date; provided , however , that if such exception is not cured within such thirty (30) Business Days or forty-five (45) Business Days, as the case may be, (A) in the case of clause (2), the Trustee shall retain the funds or letter of credit, as applicable, or (B) in the case of clause (3), the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at which time such funds shall be applied to the Purchase Price of the related Mortgage Loan and any letter of credit will be returned to the Seller.

                    If the Seller receives written notice of a Document Defect or a Breach pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to a Mortgage Loan, then the 

-6-

Seller shall not later than 90 days from receipt of such notice (or, in the case of a Document Defect or Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (a “ Qualified Mortgage ”), not later than 90 days from the date that any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement discovers such Document Defect or Breach provided the Seller receives such notice in a timely manner), if such Document Defect or Breach shall materially and adversely affect the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan, the interest of the Trust therein or the interests of any Certificateholder, cure such Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, which shall include payment of actual or provable losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses directly resulting from any such Document Defect or Breach or, if such Document Defect or Breach (other than omissions solely due to a document not having been returned by the related recording office) cannot be cured within such 90-day period, (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price not later than the end of such 90-day period or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan not later than the end of such 90-day period (and in no event later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith; provided , however , that unless the Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage, and if such Document Defect or Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90-day period and the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Document Defect or Breach within such 90-day period, such Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan); and provided , further , that with respect to such additional 90-day period the Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee setting forth what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Document Defect or Breach will be cured within the additional 90-day period; and provided , further , that no Document Defect (other than with respect to a Mortgage Note, Mortgage, title insurance policy, Ground Lease, any letter of credit, any franchise agreement, any comfort letter and (if required) any comfort letter transfer documents (collectively, the “ Core Material Documents ”)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the interests of the Trust therein or the interests of any Certificateholder unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any borrower or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien or any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligations; provided , further , with respect to Document Defects which materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, the interests of the Trust therein or the value of the related Mortgage Loan, other than with respect to Document Defects relating to the Core Material Documents, any applicable cure period following the initial 90-day cure period may be extended by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if the document involved is not needed imminently.  Such extension will end upon 30 days notice of such need as reasonably determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (with a possible 30 day extension if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer agrees that the Seller is diligently pursuing a cure).  The Seller shall cure all Document Defects, which materially and adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, the interests of the Trust therein or the value of the related Mortgage Loan, regardless of the document involved no later than 2 years following the Closing Date; provided

-7-

that the initial 90-day cure period referenced in this paragraph may not be reduced.  For a period of two years from the Closing Date, so long as there remains any Mortgage File relating to a Mortgage Loan as to which there is any uncured Document Defect or Breach, the Seller shall provide the officer’s certificate to the Trustee described above as to the reasons such Document Defect or Breach remains uncured and as to the actions being taken to pursue cure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue a policy of lender’s title insurance as described in clause 12 of Schedule I hereof in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance shall not be considered a Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy of insurance is delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf not later than the 90 ^th day following the Closing Date.

                    If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described above, (ii) such Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans (each, a “ Crossed Loan ”), and (iii) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Loan in such Crossed Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be deemed to constitute a Document Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Loan in the Crossed Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Loan(s) in the related Crossed Group as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph unless such other Crossed Loans in such Crossed Group satisfy the Crossed Loan Repurchase Criteria and satisfy all other criteria for substitution or repurchase of Mortgage Loans set forth herein.  In the event that the remaining Crossed Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Loan as to which the related Breach or Document Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Loans in the related Crossed Group.  The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained by the Master Servicer to determine if the Crossed Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). 

                    To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Loans in such Crossed Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Loans still held by the Trustee.

                    If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Loans held by such party, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.

-8-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Loan included in the Trust Fund is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.  Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.

                    (d)     In connection with any permitted repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby, upon receipt of a certificate from a Servicing Officer certifying as to the receipt of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount(s), as applicable, in the Certificate Account, and the delivery of the Mortgage File(s) and the Servicing File(s) for the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) to the Custodian and the Master Servicer, respectively, if applicable (i) the Trustee shall execute and deliver such endorsements and assignments as are provided to it by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, the legal and beneficial ownership of each repurchased Mortgage Loan or substituted Mortgage Loan, as applicable, (ii) the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the Seller, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and (iii) the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release to the Seller any Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds held by it in respect of such repurchased or deleted Mortgage Loans.

                    (e)     Without limiting the remedies of the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement, it is acknowledged that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes.  This Section 3 provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or warranty set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Purchaser or its assigns (including the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer) from pursuing any course of action authorized by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement while the Purchaser asserts a claim or brings a cause of action to enforce any rights set forth herein against the Seller.

                    (f)     With respect to any Mortgage Loan which has become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been foreclosed and which is the subject of a repurchase claim under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative, if applicable shall notify the Seller in writing of its intention to liquidate such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property at least 45 days prior to any such action.  If (a) the Seller consents to such sale and voluntarily agrees to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Seller is liable under this Agreement to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then such Seller shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the difference if any of the price of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as sold and the price at which the Seller would have had to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property under this Agreement.  The Seller shall have 10 Business Days after receipt of notice to determine whether or not to consent to such sale.  If the Seller does not

-9-

consent to such sale, the Special Servicer shall contract with a Determination Party (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to determine whether or not such proposed sale is in accordance with the applicable Servicing Standard.  If the related Determination Party determines that such proposed sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and, subsequent to such sale, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Seller was liable under this Agreement and required to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with the terms hereof, then the Seller shall remit to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the proceeds of the related action and the price at which the Seller would have been obligated to pay had the Seller repurchased such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with the terms hereof including the costs related to contracting with the related Determination Party; p rovided that the foregoing procedure in this Section 3(f) shall not preclude the Seller from repurchasing the Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property prior to the execution of a binding contract of sale with a third party in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 3 (excluding this subsection (f)).  If the related Determination Party determines that the sale of the related Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is not in accordance with the Servicing Standards and the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the Special Servicer subsequently sells such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then the Seller will not be liable for any such difference (nor any cost of contracting with the Determination Party).

                    (g)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Breach relating to whether or not the Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s) with respect to matters described in Representations 23 and 43 of Schedule I, then the Purchaser shall direct the Seller in writing to wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account, within 90 days of the Seller’s receipt of such direction, the amount of any such costs and expenses borne by the Purchaser, the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee on their behalf that are the basis of such Breach.  Upon its making such deposit, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  Provided such payment is made in full, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Breach and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan on account of such Breach or otherwise cure such Breach.

                    SECTION 4.      Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser .  In order to induce the Seller to enter into this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Seller as of the date hereof that:

                    (a)     The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.  The Purchaser has the full corporate power and authority and legal right to acquire the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee.

                    (c)     Except as may be required under federal or state securities laws (and which will be obtained on a timely basis), no consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court, is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by the Purchaser of any transaction described in this Agreement.

                    (d)     None of the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, and the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser, results or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Purchaser’s assets or property, or conflicts or will conflict with, results or will result in a breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under (A) any term or provision of the Purchaser’s articles of association or bylaws, (B) any term or provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound, or (C) any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or its assets.

                    (e)     Under GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, the Purchaser will report the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for consideration consisting of a cash amount equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

                    (f)     There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or any action taken in connection with the obligations of the Purchaser contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Purchaser to enter into and/or perform under the terms of this Agreement.

                    (g)     The Purchaser is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Purchaser or its properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.
