Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2003

Fitch Ratings affirms Wells Fargo Bank's (Wells) primary servicer rating of 'CPS1', master servicer rating of 'CMS2' and special servicer rating of 'CSS1'. The ratings affirmations reflect the highly experienced management team, the longstanding company tenure of management and the financial strength of Wells Fargo Bank. The primary servicer rating is based on Wells' continued excellent capabilities in servicing multifamily and commercial mortgage loans in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) transactions. The master servicing rating reflects Wells' ability to oversee primary servicers in CMBS transactions and to accurately report and remit to CMBS trustees. Additionally, over the past year, Wells has made numerous enhancements to its investor website in an effort to improve the quality of information available online. The special servicer rating is based on the strong real estate background of Wells' senior management and asset managers and their ability to specially service and resolve assets securing CMBS transactions.

As of March 31, 2003, Wells was named master servicer or primary servicing 3,830 loans in 64 CMBS transactions, totaling $28.2 billion. Wells was also named special servicer on 22 CMBS transactions, totaling $11.7 billion. As of the same date, Wells was actively specially servicing nine CMBS assets totaling $274.1 million.

Fitch rates commercial mortgage primary, master, and special servicers on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being the highest rating. Within each of these rating levels, Fitch further differentiates ratings by plus (+) and minus (-) as well as the flat rating.
