Interest relates, and a "latest possible maturity date" set to the Maturity Date

of the Mortgage Loan to which the Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest

relates. The Class R-I Certificate will be designated as the sole Class of

(a)    On each Distribution Date after the initial Distribution Date, the

      Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Certificates (other than the Residual

      Certificates) will be determined as described herein under the definition

      of "Pass-Through Rate." The initial Pass-Through Rates shown above are

      approximate for the Class F, Class G, Class H and Class X Certificates.

(b)    The Final Scheduled Distribution Date for each Class of Certificates is

      the Distribution Date on which such Class is expected to be paid in full,

      assuming that timely payments (and no prepayments) will be made on the

      Mortgage Loans in accordance with their terms (except that each ARD Loan

      will be prepaid in full on its Anticipated Repayment Date).

(c)    The Class A-4FL Certificates are not regular interests in a REMIC but

      represent ownership of the beneficial interests in the Class A-4FL Grantor

      Trust, which is comprised of (i) the Class A-4FL Regular Interest (bearing

      a fixed rate of interest at 4.933% per annum subject, to a cap equal to

      the Weighted Average REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate) and the Swap

 

 

                                       -4-

      Contract and all payments under the Class A-4FL Regular Interest and the

      Swap Contract, (ii) all funds and assets on deposit from time to time in

      the Floating Rate Account and (iii) proceeds of all of the foregoing. The

      parties intend that the portion of the Trust representing the Class A-4FL

      Grantor Trust shall be treated as a grantor trust under Subpart E of Part

      1 of Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code.

(d)    The Class P Certificates represent ownership of a REMIC III Regular

      Interest (entitled to the principal and interest set forth above). In

      addition, the Class P Certificates will be entitled to Excess Interest

      (which will not be a part of any REMIC Pool). The parties intend that (i)

      the portion of the Trust representing the Excess Interest and the Excess

      Interest Sub-account shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E

      of Part 1 of subchapter J of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code and (ii)

      the Class P Certificates (other than the portion thereof consisting of a

      REMIC III Regular Interest) shall represent undivided beneficial interests

      in the portion of the Trust consisting of the entitlement to receive

      Excess Interest (the "Class P Grantor Trust").

(e)    The Class R-III Certificates will be entitled to receive the proceeds of

      any remaining assets in REMIC III after the principal amounts of all

      Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero and any Realized Losses

      previously allocated thereto (and any interest thereon) have been

      reimbursed.

 

            As of the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgage Loans had an Aggregate

Principal Balance of $1,121,613,138.

 

            As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent on

behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the segregated pool of assets

described in the first paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof (including the

Mortgage Loans (other than any Excess Interest payable with respect to such

Mortgage Loans)) to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a real estate

mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC I"). The REMIC I Regular Interests will be

designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC I and the Class R-I Certificates

will be designated as the sole Class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for

purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

 

            As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent on

behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the segregated pool of assets

described in the second paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof consisting of the

REMIC I Regular Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a

real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC II"). The REMIC II Regular

Interests will be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II and the

Class R-II Certificates will be designated as the sole Class of "residual

interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

 

            As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent on

behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the segregated pool of assets

described in the third paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof consisting of the

REMIC II Regular Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a

real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC III"). The REMIC III Regular

Interests (including, in the case of the Class P Certificates, the Class P REMIC

Interest represented by the Class P Certificates and, in the case of the Class

A-4FL Certificates, the Class A-4FL Regular Interest represented by the Class

A-4FL Certificates) will be designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC III

and the Class R-III Certificates (together with the REMIC Regular Certificates,

the "REMIC III Certificates") will be designated as the sole Class of "residual

interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.

 

            As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Paying Agent on

behalf of the Trustee will treat: (i) the segregated pool of assets consisting

of the Class A-4FL Regular Interest, the Swap Contract and such amounts as shall

be held from time to time in the Floating Rate Account and (ii) the right to any

Excess Interest in respect of the ARD Loans and the Excess Interest Sub-Account,

as separate grantor trusts within the meaning of subpart E, part I of Subchapter

J of the Code. The Class A-4FL Certificates will be treated as undivided

beneficial interests in the Class A-4FL Grantor Trust.

Mortgage Loan after it has been paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or

Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement based upon the applicable

allocation of the items set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above between the

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage

Loans and all other related pari passu loans. Any Appraisal Reduction in respect

of any Loan Pair shall be allocated, as between a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage

Loan and the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, pro rata according to

their respective Principal

 

 

                                      -9-

Balances. Any Appraisal Reduction with respect to an A/B Mortgage Loan shall be

any excess shall be allocated to the related A Note.

 

            "Appraised Value" means, (i) with respect to any Mortgaged Property

(other than the Mortgaged Property relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan),

the appraised value thereof determined by an Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property

securing such Mortgage Loan made by an Independent appraiser selected by the

            "Servicing Transfer Event" means the occurrence of any of the

following events: (i) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage

Loan), Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note as to which a Balloon Payment

is past due, and the Master Servicer has determined, in its good faith

reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that payment is

unlikely to be made on or before the 60th day succeeding the date the Balloon

Payment was due, or any other payment is more than 60 days past due or has not

been made on or before the second Due Date following the Due Date such payment

was due; (ii) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan),

Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note as to which, to the Master Servicer's

knowledge, the Mortgagor has consented to the appointment of a receiver or

conservator in any insolvency or similar proceeding of, or relating to, such

Mortgagor or to all or substantially all of its property, or the Mortgagor has

become the subject of a decree or order issued under a bankruptcy, insolvency or

similar law and such decree or order shall have remained undischarged or

unstayed for a period of 30 days; (iii) any Mortgage Loan (other than a

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note as to

which the Master Servicer shall have received notice of the foreclosure or

proposed foreclosure of any other lien on the Mortgaged Property; (iv) any

Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion

Mortgage Loan or B Note as to which the Master Servicer has knowledge of a

default (other than a failure by the related Mortgagor to pay principal or

interest) which in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer

materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the

holder of any related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note and which has

occurred and remains unremedied for the applicable grace period specified in

such Mortgage Loan (or, if no grace period is specified, 60 days); (v) any

Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion

Mortgage Loan or B Note as to which the Mortgagor

admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,

files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or

reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or

voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations; and (vi) any Mortgage Loan

(other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan or B

Note as to which, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer,

(a) (other than with respect to any A/B Mortgage Loan) a payment default is

imminent or is likely to occur within 60 days, or (b) any other default is

imminent or is likely to occur within 60 days and such default, in the judgment

of the Master Servicer, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect

the interests of the Certificateholders or the holder of any related Serviced

Companion Mortgage Loan or B Note (as the case may be); provided, however, that

(1) if the holder of the B Note exercised its right to cure a monetary default

and a monetary default occurs in the following month due to the holder of the B

Note's failure to cure, then servicing of such Mortgage Loan shall be

transferred to the Special Servicer on the Business Day following the expiration

of the Cure Period (as defined in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of the

holder of the B Note if the holder of the B Note does not cure the current

monetary default or (2) if the holder of the B Note has exercised its right to

cure the number of consecutive monetary defaults it is permitted to cure under

the related Intercreditor Agreement and a monetary default occurs in the

following month, then servicing of such Mortgage Loan shall be transferred to

the Special Servicer at the expiration of the Mortgagor's grace period for the

current monetary default. If a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with respect to

an A Note, it shall be deemed to have occurred also with respect to its related

B Note; provided, however, that if a Servicing Transfer Event would otherwise

have occurred with respect to an A Note, but has not so occurred solely because

the holder of the related B Note has exercised its cure rights under the related

Intercreditor Agreement, then a Servicing Transfer Event will not occur with

respect to such A/B Mortgage Loan. If a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with

respect to a B Note, it shall be deemed to have occurred also with respect to

its related A Note. If a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with respect to any

Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, it shall be deemed to have occurred also with

respect to the related Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan. If a Servicing Transfer

Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, it shall be

deemed to have occurred also with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu

Mortgage Loan. Under the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and

Servicing Agreement, if a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with respect to any

Non-Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan, it shall be deemed to have occurred also

with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
