          Authorization.  The  execution,  delivery,  and  performance  of  this
          Agreement  by  Borrower,  to the extent to be  executed,  delivered or

          action by  Borrower;  do not  require  the  consent or approval of any
          other person,  regulatory  authority or governmental  body; and do not
          conflict with, result in a violation of, or constitute a default under
          (a) any provision of the  partnership  agreement,  or any agreement or
          other  instrument  binding upon Borrower or (b) any law,  governmental
          regulation, court decree', or order applicable to Borrower.

          to  Lender  truly  and  completely   disclosed   Borrower's  financial
          condition  as of the  date of the  statement,  and  there  has been no
          material adverse change in Borrower's  financial condition  subsequent
          to the date of the most recent financial statement supplied to Lender.
          Borrower has no material contingent obligations except as disclosed in
          such financial statements.

          Legal  Effect.  This  Agreement  constitutes,  and any  instrument  or
          agreement  required  hereunder to be given by Borrower when  delivered

          not presently due and payable, Borrower owns and has good title to all
          of  Borrower's  properties  free and clear of all  liens and  security
          interests,  and has not executed  any security  documents or financing
          statements relating to such properties.  All of Borrower's  properties
          are titled in  Borrower's  legal name,  and Borrower has not used,  or
          filed a  financial  statement  under,  any other name for at least the
          last five (5) years.

          Hazardous  Substances.  Except as disclosed  to Lender in writing,  no
          property  of Borrower  ever has been,  or ever will be so long as this
          Agreement  remains in effect,  used for the  generation,  manufacture,
          storage,  treatment,  disposal,  release or threatened  release of any
          hazardous  waste or  substance,  as those  terms  are  defined  in the

          adopted  pursuant to any of the  foregoing.  The  representations  and
          warranties  contained  herein are based on Borrower's due diligence in
          investigating   the  properties  for  hazardous  waste  and  hazardous
          substances.  Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims
          against  Lender for indemnity of  contribution  in the event  Borrower
          becomes  liable for cleanup or other costs under any such law, and (b)
          agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Lender  against  any and all
          claims and losses  resulting  from a breach of this  provision of this
          Agreement.  This  obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of
          the indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement.

          for business or commercial related purposes.
