Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Property diversity. The loan is secured by 37 class A and B multifamily properties totaling 12,919 units located across five
states in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
• Well-capitalized sponsorship. Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund currently has a portfolio of more than $13.5 billion in assets
under management. It has raised more than $7 billion in equity over 196 transactions. Onex Real Estate Partners is a
subsidiary of Onex Corporation, a Canadian company with a significant presence in the service, manufacturing, and
technology sectors.
• Experienced management. Sawyer Realty Holdings (Sawyer) has more than 15 years of experience in multifamily
management. Excluding the subject portfolio, Sawyer manages a portfolio of 76 multifamily properties across the eastern
and southern U.S.
• Significant cash equity. Sponsorship has approximately $190 million in cash equity based on the entire debt stack relative to
the $1.43 billion purchase price.
Concern
• The subject properties have generally underperformed primary market competition. As of April 30, 2006, the properties had
an average occupancy of 90.4%, with occupancies ranging from 70.3%–100%. According to Cushman Wakefield, market
competitors have occupancies primarily falling between 95% and 97%.
Mitigant
• Sawyer improved a 1,449-unit Town & Country Portfolio (the previous operator of this portfolio) to an 18% increase in total
revenue and a 14% increase in average rents and reduced turnover to 35% from 50%. The sponsors’ strategy with the
subject portfolio following acquisition is improved performance through more efficient property management, including
raising units to market rents and reducing concessions. In addition, the sponsors will explore strategic asset sales to
deleverage the loan.
Market Information
• The properties are located in Maryland (49.3%), Virginia (25.5%), Florida (15.6%), Pennsylvania (7.9%), and Delaware
(1.7%). The largest exposures fall in the metropolitan statistical areas of Baltimore and northern Virginia.
• The Baltimore multifamily market contains approximately 129,700 apartment units within 503 complexes. The average
vacancy across the market was 4.5% as of year-end 2005, slightly lower than the level in each of the previous two years.
New tenants are receiving minimal concessions, averaging only 0.41 months of free rents. In addition, rents increased an
average 4.2% annually between 1995 and 2005.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• High asset quality. The John Hancock Tower Complex consists of three trophy assets that have been well maintained and
are 98.6% leased on a long-term basis. Nearly all the floors, including the lower-level floors, in the John Hancock Tower
have unobstructed city views.
• Strong tenancy. Investment-grade tenants account for approximately 64% of the NRA. Leases accounting for 83.4% of the
NRA expire beyond loan maturity.
• Strong sponsorship. Beacon Capital Partners, LLC (Beacon) is a Boston-based real estate private equity investment
company with a current investment portfolio value of approximately $4.5 billion. It is a high-quality property owner,
operator, and developer focusing on office properties in a select number of target markets, including Boston, Washington,
D.C., New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and Seattle.
• Strong location. Boston’s Back Bay is considered the city’s most desirable submarket in terms of amenities and proximity to
the affluent western suburbs. The complex is in close proximity to some of Boston’s best retail stores, restaurants, and
luxury hotels. The properties are easily accessible by public transportation, including buses and trolley.
Concerns
• The total debt on the property has a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio and stressed loan-to-value ratio of 0.82 times
and 111.9%, respectively.
• Based on the entire debt stack, the sponsor does not retain any equity in the property.
Mitigants
• Since acquiring the asset in March 2003, Beacon has executed three major early lease renewals representing 23.5% of the
total building square footage. In addition, four existing tenants have expanded at the properties, signing a total of
61,121 square feet (sf), with an average total rent of $47.80 per square foot (psf) and average lease term of 8.5 years. This
compares to an in-place average rent of $39.80 psf.
• The Back Bay submarket of Boston has displayed strong improvement in recent years. In the Back Bay, class A office
market vacancy declined and asking rents increased from 10.4% and $34.70 psf, respectively, to 8.0% and $37.04 psf,
Market Information
• Overall vacancy in the Boston central business district office market improved from 14.6% in first-quarter 2005 to 12.9% in
first-quarter 2006. The direct weighted average rental rates increased from $29.96 psf to $31.69 psf over the same period.
• The property is located in the Back Bay submarket, which is the second largest in Boston and one of the strongest. The
overall submarket is showing an improvement in direct vacancy and direct weighted average rental rates, from 7.9% and
$33.38 psf, respectively, in first-quarter 2005 to 6.5% and $35.39 psf, respectively, in first-quarter 2006.

Property Summary
(As of April 30, 2006)
Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• The portfolio consists of six cross-collateralized/cross-defaulted hotels located in six geographically distinct markets.
• Experienced sponsorship. Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund was founded in 1991 and currently has more than
$13.5 billion under management. Pyramid Advisors, LLC was formed in 1999 as a hotel development, management, and
advisory company for the hotel industry. The principals have 75 years of combined hospitality experience and actively
manage a portfolio of 49 hotels totaling 13,221 rooms.
• Recent renovations averaging $27,012 per key ($69.8 million) and reflagging from Adam’s Mark hotels to Hiltons,
Marriotts, and a Radisson have repositioned the assets within their competitive set, resulting in increased revenue per
available room (RevPAR) penetration across the portfolio.
Mitigants
• As a result of the hurricane damage, the Hilton-Dayton had 129,000 rooms off line in 2005. Rooms operating during the
trailing 12-month period averaged 66.6% occupancy. The hotel is now 100% reopened and fully operational for the first
time as a renovated product with the Hilton flag. As one of the few upscale hotels in the market, Hilton-Daytona’s average
daily rate (ADR) penetration has been well above 100% historically. Both ADR and occupancy are expected to increase
significantly due to the recent renovations and reflagging of the hotel.
• The borrower has shown a commitment to the portfolio by paying the Hilton-Daytona’s $8 million windstorm insurance
premium for the upcoming year. However, the premium is expected to be adjusted down significantly in the following year
to reflect a more commercially reasonable market level.
• The largest hotel, Hilton-Daytona, has considerable cash flow upside upon the completion of a $19 million ($24,000 per
room) improvement plan and reflagging. Renovation work included upgrading of the restaurants, lobby, and pool patio,
complete renovation of rooms in the South Tower (413 rooms), and furniture replacement in the North Tower (329 rooms).
Market Information
• The Hilton-Daytona benefits from an excellent beachfront location, along with a convention center next door, which is in the
process of expanding to 170,000 sf. As of the trailing 12 months ended April 30, 2006, the hotel’s penetration rates for
occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were 68.1%, 117.5%, and 80.0%, respectively. As reflected in the ADR penetration rate of
117.5%, the Hilton-Daytona is well positioned in the market as an upscale hotel with strong pricing power.
• The Marriott-Houston was converted to the Marriott brand in May 2004, and renovation was completed in December 2004.
The $18 million ($30,000 per room) budget was spent on renovating all 600 rooms, common areas, and meeting spaces. The
Marriott-Houston is located in the Westchase submarket of Houston, a suburban area west of downtown in which hotel
demand is generated increasingly by large corporate accounts. The hotel’s corporate accounts include National Oil,
Halliburton, ATT, Exxon, and Shell. As of the trailing 12 months ended April 30, 2006, the hotel’s penetration rates for
occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were 100.5%, 81.8%, and 82.2%, respectively.
• The Hilton-Indianapolis was converted to the Hilton brand in August 2004, and the renovation was completed in
September 2005. The $7 million ($21,000 per room) budget was spent on renovating the lobby, front desk, and restaurant.
As of the trailing 12 months ended April 30, 2006, the hotel’s penetration rates for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were
100.0%, 92.3%, and 92.4%, respectively.
• The Marriott-Columbia was converted to the Marriott brand in February 2005, and renovation of all 300 rooms, restaurants,
meeting rooms, and pool patio, totaling $9 million ($30,000 per room), was completed in July 2005. Columbia is the
capital of South Carolina and is home to 11 colleges and universities, as well as a new convention center. As of the trailing
12 months ended April 30, 2006, the hotel’s penetration rates for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were 113.8%, 117.9%, and
134.2%, respectively.
• The Hilton-Colorado Springs was converted to the Hilton brand in July 2004, and a $7 million renovation ($24,000 per
room) of all 292 rooms and the lobby was completed by September 2005. Recently, the Colorado Springs hotel market
has been buoyed by the increase in tourism and government activity at nearby bases As of the trailing 12 months ended
April 30, 2006, the hotel’s penetration rates for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were 122.7%, 118.1%, and 145.0%,
respectively.
• The Radisson-Northbrook was converted to the Radisson brand in September 2004, and the $3 million renovation ($9,400
per room) was completed in September 2005. As part of the renovation program, the guestrooms, bathrooms, and hotel
entrance were upgraded. The Northbrook market depends largely on corporate travel, and the Radisson has a number of
large contracts with Allstate, HSBC, Walgreens, and Korea Air. A Westin and a Sheraton are expected to open in the
next two years but are expected to focus on a higher price point than the Radisson. As of the trailing 12 months ended
April 30, 2006, the Radisson’s penetration rates for occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR were 95.1%, 63.9%, and 60.7%,
respectively.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Strong sponsorship. Carlyle Realty Partners (CRP) is the real estate investing arm of the Carlyle Group, a global investment
firm that originates, structures, and invests across various transaction types. CRP has acquired or developed more than
3.3 million sf of telecom space and invested in 105 transaction from various property types.
• Diverse tenancy. More than 200 colocation tenants account for approximately 35% of the total net rentable area (NRA). The
largest telecom tenant is Verizon, accounting for 10.4% of the NRA. The largest office/retail tenants, Musick Peeler, &
Garrett and Crowell, Weedon, account for 17.1% and 7.3% of the NRA, respectively. No other single office or retail tenant
accounts for more than 4% of the NRA.
• Asset quality. The subject is one of the premier telecommunication and data centers in the world, only comparable to
60 Hudson Street in New York City and Telehouse in London as far as connection to the global communications network.
Concerns
• Lease rollover. Tenants accounting for 36.5% of the NRA have leases expiring during the loan term.
• Telecom tenants are paying higher rents than office tenants at other downtown Los Angeles office buildings.
Mitigants
• The asset is occupied by a diverse collection of tenants. Of the expiring leases, only Verizon (MCI Telecom) represents a
large concentration of space (10.4% of NRA), and this tenant is subject to multiple leases with various expirations between
2006 and 2009. In addition, One Wilshire is one of the leading communication centers in the world and serves as the
primary switching and interconnectivity point in the western U.S. Carlyle has executed 41 telecom leases at an average rate
of $35.90 psf since acquiring the building in 2001.
• The subject is not comparable to traditional office buildings in Los Angeles because its presence in the telecommunications
sector is unmatched on the West Coast. Traditional office tenants at the subject are paying below-market rents. Recent
telecom tenants at the subject have signed leases averaging $36.99 psf, indicating the premium associated with desirable
telecom space.
Market Information
• The subject is located in downtown Los Angeles at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. The subject is
a unique asset within the Los Angeles office market because of its status as the primary colocation space provider,
switching, and interconnectivity point on the West Coast of the U.S. Other major data centers in the U.S. include 60 Hudson
Street and 111 Eighth Avenue in New York City. The downtown class A office market as a whole reported average asking

Strengths
• Experienced sponsorship. Apollo Real Estate Advisors (Apollo) is one of the most active and prominent opportunistic real
estate investors in the U.S. and internationally. Since the company’s founding in 1993, Apollo has overseen the investment
of 10 real estate funds totaling more than $5.2 billion in equity. Ramius Capital is an investment management company with
$7.4 billion of assets under management.
• Location. The properties are located southeast of the intersection of the Bruckner Expressway and the Bronx River Parkway
and border Soundview Recreational Park, a 158-acre public park located along the Bronx River. Many of the units have
terraces with views of the Long Island Sound and the Manhattan skyline. In addition, because the properties are naturally
bordered on all sides by the expressway, the East River, and the Soundview Recreational Park, the immediate neighborhood
has less crime problems than other Bronx neighborhoods.
• Cash equity of $25 million based on the August 2005 acquisition price, representing approximately 26.3% of the purchase
price. In addition, the A note represents a low trust amount per unit of $32,708, and the total debt represents $37,534 per unit.
Concerns
• The plans for the co-op conversion have not yet been approved.
• The B note is paid down pro rata with the trust A note while current.
Mitigants
• The plans for the co-op conversion provide a unique opportunity for local residents to purchase partially subsidized low-
income housing. The response from the current rental tenants to the conversion has been very positive, with more than 70%
of all tenants indicating interest in buying their units.
• Fitch’s stressed net sellout value (NSV) of $92.8 million represents $64 psf relative to the A note balance of $48 psf. Based
on Fitch’s NSV, the sale of 58.8% of the units at $102 psf or all units at $55 psf would fully repay the A note and pro rata
subordinate debt. In an event of default, proceeds are applied sequentially throughout the capital stack, with the A note
receiving all principal until repaid.
Other Information
• The properties were developed under the Mitchell Lama program, a New York State program that provides affordable
housing to moderate- and middle-income families. The sponsors have the right to exit the Mitchell Lama program and filed
their notice of intent with the Department of Housing and Community Renewal. The exit from the Mitchell Lama program is
expected to occur at the beginning of 2007, at which point the units will be converted to co-ops.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Experienced sponsorship and management. ASB Capital Management Inc. (ASB), a subsidiary of Chevy Chase Bank, has
$8 billion of assets under management, including a real estate portfolio of 74 properties across 25 markets. ASB has owned
and/or operated more than 700,000 sf of assets in the telecommunications sectors. DCI Technology Holdings (DCI), a real
estate equity and management company, currently owns or operates six data centers in the U.S. for such clients as Ebay,
Global Crossing, and Qwest.
• Asset quality. Infomart is a seven-story class A office and telecommunications center. Primarily due to its fiber access,
power capacity, and energy power backup, Infomart has served as one of the primary data centers in Dallas and the
southeast region of the U.S.
• Tenant diversity. The subject consists of 640,000 sf of telecommunication space, in addition to 550,000 sf of traditional
office space. The telecommunication space is occupied by 42 tenants, none occupying greater than 5.6% of the building’s
NRA. Two office tenants, Patriot American Hospitality and MCI WorldCom Communications, occupying 12.8% and 10.1%
of the NRA, respectively, are the sole office tenants occupying greater than 3.2% of the NRA.
• ASB and DCI have $36.75 million in cash equity in the deal based on the entire debt stack and acquisition price.
Concerns
• A loan secured by the subject property included in the GMAC 2002-FL1 transaction incurred a maturity default following a
decline in occupancy due to stress in the telecommunications sector.
• Rollover risk. The two largest office tenants, Patriot American Hospitality and MCI WorldCom Communications, have
leases expiring in 2007.
Mitigants
• The previous loan was purchased out of bankruptcy for $105 million and refinanced, allowing full recovery for the previous
securitized loan. The current debt stack of $68.25 million is lower leveraged than the $115 million of previous financing,
with far greater equity held by the sponsors.
• An ongoing reserve is in place for leasing costs, accruing to a maximum of $5 million. Leasing activity at the subject has
been strong, with more than 100,000 sf of new leases signed in 2005 at rents in line with the market and an additional
50,000 sf of new leases signed since the owner took possession of the subject in April 2006. In addition, the
telecommunication portion of the building is likely to sustain or exceed its current occupancy because those tenants tend not
to relocate because of high relocation costs and substantial equity investments.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Strong sponsorship. CRP is the real estate investing arm of the Carlyle Group, a global investment company that originates,
structures, and invests in various transaction types. CRP has acquired or developed more than 3.3 million sf of telecom
space and invested in 105 transactions from various property types.
• High-quality asset. The property has a mixture of traditional office space, telecom space, and colocation space, which is
used to facilitate interconnections between various telecom tenants within the building. The property has telecommunication
amenities, such as superior fiber access, excess power capacity, and emergency power backup. The property commands
higher rents than office comparables due to its telecom amenities/capacity.
Concern
• The Government Services Administration lease, representing 47.9% of the NRA, expires in February 2008.
Mitigant
• The loan is structured with a leasing cost reserve funded from a borrower option of $240,000 per month for the first
30 months of the loan term or an up-front cash payment or letter of credit for $6.51 million on Oct. 31, 2007.
Market Information
• San Jose is located 48 miles south of San Francisco and 38 miles south of Oakland, CA. San Jose experienced a decline in
office rents and occupancy in conjunction with other Silicon Valley cities following the burst of the bubble in the
technology sector. In recent years, the economy has stabilized, with personal bankruptcies declining, the housing market
stabilizing, and industrial production increasing. The Silicon Valley office market has made a strong recovery, with rising
occupancy and asking rents.
• The property is located in downtown San Jose at the intersection of Market Street and Post Street. Per Torto Wheaton
Research, the market vacancy was 20.5% with asking rents of $27.93 psf as of first-quarter 2006. The actual vacancy at the
property was 4.7%, with in-place rents of $28.83 psf (for office space only).

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Below-market rents. The average in-place rents at 119 West 40th Street are $23.77 psf, well below the submarket rents of
$37 psf per the appraiser and $38.62 psf for class B office space in the Times Square/Theatre district submarket as of first-
quarter 2006, according to Torto Wheaton Research.
• Low loan psf of $134.52 based on the trust amount.
• Strong midtown location. The subject buildings are located on 40th and 41st Streets along Sixth Avenue in close proximity
to Bryant Park, Times Square, and Grand Central Station.
• Well-capitalized sponsorship. AEW Partners V, LP is a real estate investment and advisory company with more than
$20 billion in assets under management. Colliers ABR, Inc. is a full-service commercial real estate company with
approximately 14 million sf of office space under management in the New York City area.
• Development potential. 120 West 41st Street is zoned for 12 floors of office or hotel development or 10 floors of residential
development in a desirable midtown location. The building currently is on 19,600 sf, consisting of one floor of ground-level
retail and four floors of vacant office space.
Concerns
• Expiring leases. 119 West 40th Street has leases totaling 93,000 sf (29.5% of NRA) expiring by August 2007.
• The building at 120 West 41st Street is almost entirely vacant.
Mitigants
• Rents at the 40th Street building average $23.77 psf, well below current market rents. Upon lease expiration, management
expects to sign new leases at market rents. The future funding obligation allocates $4 million toward lease-up costs.
Market Information
• The subject buildings are located in the Times Square submarket of Manhattan. The two buildings, located between Sixth
and Seventh Avenues on 40th and 41st Streets, respectively, are each located in close proximity to Times Square, Bryant
Park, and Grand Central Station, in addition to numerous bus and subway lines. According to Torto Wheaton Research, as
of the first-quarter 2006, the Times Square submarket had average gross asking rents of $38.62 psf and average vacancy of
8.6%. This central Manhattan location makes the subject buildings valuable assets operating in the office, residential, or
lodging sectors.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Strong market fundamentals. Kauai hotels have maintained strong performance historically, partially attributable to limited
supply, as the island is less developed than the other main Hawaii islands. Large portions of the island are undeveloped,
preserved as rain forest and deep valleys. Total visitation to Hawaii in 2005 was greater than 7.0 million visitors, according
to the State of Hawaii, a historical high. The percentage of domestic tourists has been steadily increasing.
• Significant capital expenditures. The property underwent a $20 million renovation between October 2003 and
November 2005, when the hotel was rebranded a Courtyard by Marriott. The borrower rebranded the hotel as a ResortQuest
in conjunction with an additional $10 million renovation that will include $6 million allocated to landscaping and the hotel
pool.
• Well-capitalized sponsorship. RREEF, a subsidiary of Deutsche Asset Management, is a family of real estate and equity
funds. Currently, RREEF has approximately $68 billion of assets under management. Gaylord Entertainment Company
operates the Resort Quest platform, which focuses on hospitality and vacation rental property management. ResortQuest
currently operates 17,000 units across hotels, private homes, villas, and condos located nationwide. Included in this portfolio
are 5,000 rooms across 28 hotels and condominium resorts in Hawaii.
Concerns
• The hotel has not reached the stabilized performance that is forecast for an asset of the quality and location of the subject.
RevPAR ranged from $30.90–$46.64 from 2003–2005, during which the hotel was under extensive renovation.
• The Hawaii hotel market is highly susceptible to political and economic factors, both domestically and internationally.
Evidence includes poor performance after the events of Sept. 11, 2001, from a slowdown in tourist travel from Asia as a
result of SARS, and the impact of the Iraqi War.
Mitigants
• The subject underwent a $20 million renovation ($64,309 per key) from 2003–2005. Sponsorship has shown a strong
commitment to renovating the subject (an additional $32,154 per key) to offer a superior product in a desirable market.
• Hawaii has a diverse tourism draw. Having relied on international visitors historically, Hawaii has experienced a significant
increase in domestic tourism, creating a better balance of customers in the lodging and tourism industries.
Other Information
• The property is initially being acquired as a leasehold interest, a common structure in Hawaii real estate. However, the
borrower has exercised the right to purchase the land for $8.4 million. The lender is financing 80% of the acquisition price
of the ground and will place this money in escrow until the conclusion of a 120-day period following delivery of notice of
intent. If, for any reason, the fee acquisition does not close, these funds will be used to pay down the principal balance, with
a $3 million allocation to the A note. A comparison of this prepayment with the addition of a ground rent payment would
result in a lower leveraged mortgaged loan than the current analysis, assuming the option is exercised.

Fitch Commentary
Strengths
• Structure of the transaction. The loan is fully recourse to a sponsor with significant net worth. All parcels are zoned for
various uses, including commercial and residential use. The 45-acre commercial parcel and 42-acre multifamily residential
parcel are zoned for their ultimate use and can be developed imminently. In addition, a reserve is in place for the entire
outstanding debt service over the initial term.
• Purchase and sale agreements are in place for the commercial and residential parcels for $31 million and $26.3 million,
respectively, contingent on the completion of due diligence by the involved parties. In addition, the purchase and sale
agreement is in place for the golf estates for $55 million, contingent on a land designation change from urban to rural to
allow for higher density development. The release prices of the 45-acre commercial parcel and 42-acre multifamily
residential parcel total $40 million, equal to 100% of the loan’s outstanding principal balance.
• Strong location. The parcels of land are located in the South Kohala district of The Big Island. South Kohala is known for its
world-class resort communities, such as Mauna Kea Resort, Mauna Kani Resort, and the Waikoloa Beach Resort. In
addition to tourism, the district has experienced significant population growth and reduced unemployment in recent years.
Concerns
• The loan is secured entirely by undeveloped land. This is significantly more volatile than traditional commercial real estate
because development is highly susceptible to changing economic conditions, construction costs, and state
regulations/ordinances.
• The Ranchlands parcel, totaling 5,184 acres, has no water source. Due to a deed restriction, the sponsor is prohibited from
drilling on the collateral.
• The Queen K Highway parcel, accounting for 3,784 acres, is a long-term project, with a development or sale horizon of
greater than five years.
Market Information
• The property is located in Waikoloa Village of the South Kohala district on the island of Hawaii. The island of Hawaii, also
known as the Big Island, is more than 4,000 square miles and twice the size of any of the other islands of Hawaii. Tourism is
the dominant industry of Hawaii, which had approximately 7.0 million visitors in 2004. The South Kohala district of the Big
Island has several world-class resort communities. While tourism continues to drive the economy, the area is also well
known for ranching and agriculture. Waikoloa Village has experienced steady population growth recently, averaging 7.87%
annually between 2000 and 2005. Hawaii Information Service reports that sales of residential, condominium, and vacant
land have increased by between 34% and 51% over the past year.
