GUARANTY (hereinafter, this "Guaranty"), dated as of January 1, 1998 made

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
1. Allied Capital REIT, Inc. (the "Seller") and Allied Capital CMT, Inc.
(the "Purchaser") have entered into a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated
as of January 1, 1998 (the "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), relating to the
sale by the Seller to the Purchaser of certain commercial mortgage loans (the

Interests") in commercial loans (the "Participation Mortgage Loans" and,
together with the Allied Mortgage Loans, the "Mortgage Loans").
2. The Purchaser and the Issuer have entered into a Sale and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1998 (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Guarantor, as servicer and special servicer, the Purchaser, as
seller, the Issuer, as issuer, LaSalle National Bank, as indenture trustee (the
"Indenture Trustee") and custodian, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as fiscal agent,
relating to the conveyance by the Purchaser to the Issuer of the Allied
Interests, all rights of the Purchaser under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and certain other property. Capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise defined herein, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
3. The Issuer intends to assign all of its rights under this Guaranty
to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of January 1, 1998 (the "Indenture") between the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee.
4. The Guarantor desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty to the
Issuer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
the Issuer to enter into the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Guarantor hereby
agrees with the Issuer as follows:
SECTION 1. The Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably
and unconditionally guarantees to the Issuer the obligation of the Seller to
repurchase any defective Allied Mortgage Loan or Allied Participation pursuant
to Section 4 of the
2
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the repurchase obligations of the Seller
set forth in Article III of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the
"Obligations"). All payments to be made by the Guarantor hereunder shall be
made when due, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in United
States dollars and in immediately available funds.
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged,
impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Issuer to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Seller under
the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or any document related thereto or otherwise; (b) any extension or
renewal of any part of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment
or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or of any document related
thereto; (d) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Seller; (e)
the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or (f) any other
event which under law would discharge the obligations of a surety. The
Guarantor acknowledges that the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have been
induced to enter into the Sale and Servicing Agreement in reliance on this
Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment, and not of collection.
GUARANTOR HEREBY SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE RELEASED
FROM LIABILITY HEREUNDER BY ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY THE
ISSUER OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR
REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A NON-JUDICIAL SALE OF
COLLATERAL UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT, MORTGAGE OR DEED OF TRUST THAT WOULD
AFFORD THE SELLER OR THE GUARANTOR A DEFENSE BASED UPON THE LAWS (INCLUDING THE
ANTI-DEFICIENCY LAWS) OF ANY STATE. GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (I) ANY DEFENSE
TO THE RECOVERY OF A DEFICIENCY AGAINST THE SELLER OR THE GUARANTOR HEREUNDER
AFTER SUCH NON-JUDICIAL SALE, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT SUCH SALE MAY RESULT IN A
LOSS BY THE GUARANTOR OF THE RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM THE SELLER OF ANY SUCH
DEFICIENCY AND (II) ALL SURETYSHIP DEFENSES THAT IT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER
THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, GUARANTOR
UNDERSTANDS THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF THE WAIVERS MADE HEREIN, INCLUDING THOSE
MADE IN THIS PARAGRAPH, THE GUARANTOR MIGHT HAVE A DEFENSE AGAINST AN ACTION
BY THE ISSUER TO RECOVER A DEFICIENCY FROM THE GUARANTOR HEREUNDER FOLLOWING A
NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE OF REAL PROPERTY OR OTHER COLLATERAL SECURING THE
OBLIGATIONS, AND THE GUARANTOR IS SPECIFICALLY WAIVING THESE DEFENSES AND ALL
OTHER DEFENSES. The Guarantor expressly agrees that the Guarantor shall be and
remain liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any security
interest, whether or not the liability of the Seller for such deficiency is
discharged pursuant to statute or judicial decision.

and notice of default or nonpayment and all other notices of any kind to or
upon the Guarantor with respect to the Obligations.
Section 2. Covenants of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to comply with the
