                        (B) In the case of a Default Occurrence, no notice of
      such a Triggering Event need be given by Maker. In such event, payment of
      any and all Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest on account of the Default
      Occurrence shall be immediately due and payable upon acceleration of the
      maturity of the Loan.

                  (iv) Determination of Net Capital Proceeds. Prior to the
      occurrence of a Triggering Event (or, in the event of a Default
      Occurrence, within a reasonable time thereafter), the "Net Capital
      Proceeds" resulting from such Triggering Event shall be determined as
      follows:

                        (A) Net Capital Proceeds From Sale or Financing. Except
      as provided in Section 2(h)(iv)(B) below, in the event of a Sale or
      Financing, "Net Capital Proceeds" shall be the amount which is equal to:
      (I) either (x) the Gross Capital Proceeds (as hereinafter defined)
      realized from the Project, or (y) the fair market value of the Project
      determined pursuant to Section 2(h)(v) below, if Holder in its discretion
      requires such a determination, minus (II) the sum of: (aa) reasonable
      brokerage commissions (excluding any payments to any Affiliate of Maker to
      the extent such payments exceed those which would have been due as
      commissions to a non-Affiliate broker rendering identical services), title
      insurance premiums, documentary transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording
      charges, appraisal fees, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, and sales
      taxes (if any), in each case actually paid or payable by Maker in
      connection with the Sale or Financing, plus (bb) all payments of principal
      and Deferred Interest paid to Holder an account of this Note from the
      proceeds of such Sale or Financing, plus (cc) an amount equal to all
      payments of principal and interest on the Senior Loans made from the
      proceeds of such Sale or Financing, plus (dd) any amount paid as Yield
      Maintenance Premium as a result of such Sale or Financing. For purposes of
      this Section 2(h), "Gross Capital Proceeds" shall mean the gross proceeds
      of whatever form or nature payable directly or indirectly to or for the
      benefit or account of Maker in connection with such Sale or Financing,
      including, without limitation: cash; the

                                       9
<PAGE>
      outstanding balance of any financing which will remain as a lien or
      encumbrance against the Project or any portion thereof following such Sale
      or Financing (but only in the case of a Sale, and not in the case of an
      encumbrance); and the cash equivalent of the fair market value of any
      non-cash consideration, including the present value of any promissory note
      received as part of the proceeds of such Sale or Financing (valued at a
      market rate of interest, as determined by an independent investment banker
      designated by Holder).

                        (B) Net Capital Proceeds In Connection With a Default or
      Maturity Occurrence. In the event of a Default Occurrence or the Maturity
      Occurrence when no Sale or Financing has occurred, the "Net Capital
      Proceeds" shall equal: (I) the fair market value of the Project determined
      as of the date of such Triggering Event in accordance with Section 2(h)(v)
      below, minus (II) the sum of (aa) the outstanding principal balance plus
      Deferred Interest on the Note plus (bb) the outstanding principal balance
      of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the Senior Loans.

                  (v)  Determination of Fair Market Value.  The fair market
      value of the Project shall be determined for purposes of this Note as
      follows:

                        (A) Partial Sale. In the event of a Sale of a portion of
      the Project, Holder shall select an experienced and reputable appraiser to
      prepare a written appraisal report of the fair market value of the Project
      in accordance with clause (C) below, and the appraised fair market value
      submitted to Holder by such appraiser shall be conclusive for purposes of
      this Note.

                        (B) Other Occurrences. In all other circumstances the
      fair market value of the Project shall be deemed to equal the result of
      dividing the Net Cash Flow Before Debt Service for the immediately
      preceding fiscal year by ten percent (10%). However, if the Net Cash Flow
      Before Debt Service for the immediately preceding fiscal year has been
      lowered because of unusually high Operating Expenses during such fiscal
      year the fair market value of the Project may, at the option of the Maker
      be determined by dividing by ten percent (10%) the mean average of the Net
      Cash Flow Before Debt Service of the Project for the 3 immediately
      preceding fiscal years of the Project.

                        (C) Appraisal Standards and Assumptions. In making any
      determination by appraisal of fair market value, the appraiser(s) shall
      assume that the improvements then located on the Project constitute the
      highest and best use of the property. If the Triggering Event is a Sale or
      Financing, the appraiser(s) shall take the sales price into account,
      although such sales price shall not be determinative of fair market value.
      Each appraiser selected hereunder shall be an independent MAI-designated
      appraiser with not less than ten years' experience in commercial real
      estate appraisal in the general geographical area where the Project is
      located.

                  (vi) Effect on Holder's Approval Rights. Nothing contained in
      this Section

                                       10
<PAGE>
      2(h) shall be deemed or construed to waive, restrict, impair, or in any
      manner affect Holder's rights hereunder or under any provisions of the
      Debt Papers to consent (or withhold its consent) to: any prepayment of the
      Loan in whole or in part; sales or other transfers of all or any portion
      of the Project or any interest therein; sales or other transfers of any
      ownership interests in Maker; any refinancing of all or any portion of the
      Loan; any junior financing; or, any other matters which require Holder's
      consent.

                  (vii) Statement, Books and Records. With each payment of
      Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest, Maker shall furnish to Holder a
      statement setting forth Maker's proposed calculation of Net Capital
      Proceeds and Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest and shall provide a
      detailed breakdown of all items necessary for such calculation. For a
      period of five years after each payment of Capital Proceeds Contingent
      Interest, Maker shall keep and maintain full and accurate books and
      records adequate to correctly reflect each such item. Said books and
      records shall be available for Holder's inspection, copying and audit
      during reasonable business hours following reasonable notice for the
      purpose of verifying the accuracy of the payments made on account of
      Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest. The costs of any such audit will be
      paid by Holder, except that Maker shall pay all reasonable costs and
      expenses of any such audit which discloses that any amount properly
      payable by Maker to Holder hereunder exceeded by five percent (5%) or more
      the amount actually paid and initially reported by maker as being payable
      with respect thereto.

                  (viii) Negative Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Holder shall not be
      responsible or liable in any respect to Maker or any other Person for any
      reduction in the fair market value of the Project or for any contingency,
      condition or occurrence that might result in a negative number for Capital
      Proceeds Contingent Interest. If at any time it is calculated, Capital
      Proceeds Contingent Interest shall be a negative amount, no Capital
      Proceeds Contingent Interest shall at that time be payable to Holder, but
      Holder shall in no way be liable for any such negative amount and there
      shall be no deduction or offset for such negative amount at any time when
      Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest shall be subsequently calculated.

                  (ix) No payment of Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest may,
      when added to all other payments of interest or payments construed as
      interest, shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

      3. Usury Savings Clause. The provisions of this Section 3 shall govern and
control over any irreconcilably inconsistent provision contained in this Note or
in any other document evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
The Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as
interest hereon (for purposes of this Section 3, the word "interest" shall be
deemed to include Basic Interest, Additional Interest and any other sums treated
as interest under applicable law governing matters of usury and unlawful
interest), any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate (hereinafter defined)
and, in the event the Holder ever receives,

                                       11
<PAGE>
collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and shall
be treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal of this Note is paid in
full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency,
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Maker and the Holder shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) spread the total amount of
interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note; provided, that if
this Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full
contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of
existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Holder shall refund to
Maker the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the
principal of this Note, and, in such event, the Holder shall not be subject to
any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, or receiving
interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.

      4.  Payments.

            (a) Interest and Principal. Maker promises to pay to the Holder
      hereof Basic Interest, Deferred Interest and Additional Interest as, in
      the respective amounts, and at the respective times provided in Section 2
      hereinabove. Maker also agrees that, on the anniversary date of this note,
      Maker will pay to the Holder one-twentieth of the principal of this Note
      ($_____________), together with all Basic Interest (and on the twentieth
      anniversary, including without limitation, Deferred Interest and
      Additional Interest accrued hereunder and not theretofore paid). Each
      payment of principal of, Basic Interest (including without limitation,
      Deferred Interest), and Additional Interest on, or any other amounts of
      any kind with respect to, this Note shall be made by the Maker to the
      Holder hereof at its office in Phoenix, Arizona (or at any other place
      which the Holder may hereafter designate for such purpose in a notice duly
      given to the Maker hereunder), not later than noon, Eastern Standard Time,
      on the date due thereof; and funds received after that hour shall be
      deemed to have been received by the Holder on the next following business
      day. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be
      due on a date which is not a business day, the due date thereof shall be
      extended to the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be
      payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

            (b) Late Payment Charges. If any amount of Interest, principal or
      any other charge or amount which becomes due and payable under this Note
      is not paid and received by the Holder within five business days after the
      date it first becomes due and payable, Maker shall pay to the Holder
      hereof a late payment charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of
      the full amount of such late payment, whether such late payment is
      received prior to or after the expiration of the ten-day cure period set
      forth in Section 8(a). Maker recognizes that in the event any payment
      secured hereby (other than the principal payment due upon maturity of the
      Note, whether by acceleration or otherwise) is not made when due, Holder
      will incur extra expenses in handling the delinquent payment, the exact
      amount of which is impossible to ascertain, but that a charge of five
      percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment

                                       12
<PAGE>
      would be a reasonable estimate of the expenses so incurred. Therefore, if
      any such payment is not received when due and payable, Maker shall without
      prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of the trustee under
      those certain Junior Deeds of Trust (or Junior Mortgages, or Junior Deeds
      to Secure Debt), Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement,
      Financing Statement and Fixture Filing of even date herewith or Holder pay
      to Holder to cover expenses incurred in handling the delinquent payment,
      an amount calculated at five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent
      payment.

            (c) No Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note at
      any time, but only subject to the requirements and conditions set forth
      below. If under any circumstances whatsoever (other than pursuant to
      Section 3 above) this Note is paid in whole or in part, whether
      voluntarily, following acceleration after the occurrence of an Event of
      Default, with the consent of Holder, by Holder's application of any
      condemnation or insurance proceeds to amounts due under the Note, by
      operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not such payment prior to
      the Stated Maturity Date results from the Holder's exercise of its rights
      to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, then Maker shall pay to
      the Holder the Yield Maintenance Premium (defined hereinbelow) in addition
      to paying the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all
      Interest which has accrued but is unpaid except with the written consent
      of the Holder.

            A Yield Maintenance Premium in an amount equal to the grater of (A)
      one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, and (B) the
      positive excess of (1) the present value ("PV") of all future installments
      of principal and interest due pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Note absent
      any such prepayment including the principal amount due at the Stated
      Maturity Date (collectively, "All Future Payments"), discounted at an
      interest rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the Treasury Constant
      Maturity Yield Index published during the second full week preceding the
      date on which such Yield Maintenance Premium is payable for instruments
      having a maturity coterminous with the remaining term of this Note, and
      (b) One Hundred Forty (140) basis points, over (2) the then outstanding
      principal balance hereof immediately before such prepayment [(PV of All
      Future Payments) (Principal balance at the time of prepayment) = Yield
      Maintenance Premium]. "Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index" shall mean
      the average yield for "This Week" as reported by the Federal Reserve Board
      in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519). If there is no Treasury
      Constant Maturity Yield Index for instruments having a maturity
      coterminous with the remaining term of this Note, then the index shall be
      equal to the weighted average yield to maturity of the Treasury Constant
      Maturity Yield Indices with maturities next longer and shorter than such
      remaining average life to the maturity, calculated by averaging (and
      rounding upward to the nearest 1/100 of 1% per annum, if the average is
      not such a multiple) the yields of the relevant Treasury Constant Maturity
      Yield Indices (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1% with any
      figure of 1/200 of 1% or above rounded upward). In the event that any
      Yield Maintenance Premium is due hereunder, Holder shall deliver to Maker
      a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Yield
      Maintenance Premium and, provided that Holder shall have in good faith
      applied the

                                       13
<PAGE>
      formula described above, Maker shall not have the right to challenge the
      calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement
      in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Holder
      on any day during the thirty (30) day period preceding the date of such
      prepayment. Holder shall not be obligated or required to have actually
      reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Treasury Constant Maturity
      Yield Index or otherwise as a condition to receiving the Yield Maintenance
      Premium. No Yield Maintenance Premium or premium shall be due or payable
      in connection with any prepayment of the indebtedness evidenced by this
      Note made on or after any date after June 1, 2005. In addition to the
      aforesaid Yield Maintenance Premium if, upon any such prepayment (whether
      prior to or after any date that is after June 1, 2005, the aforesaid prior
      written notice has not been received by Holder, the Yield Maintenance
      Premium shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) thirty
      (30) days' unearned interest computed in the outstanding principal balance
      of this Note, so prepaid and (ii) unearned interest computed on the
      outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid for the period from,
      and including, the date of prepayment through the otherwise Stated
      Maturity Date of this Note.

            Without limiting the scope of the foregoing provisions, the
      provisions of this paragraph shall constitute, within the meaning of any
      applicable state statute, both a waiver of any right Maker may have to
      prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without premium or charge, upon
      acceleration of the maturity of the Note, or otherwise, and an agreement
      by Maker to pay the prepayment charge described in this Note, whether such
      prepayment is voluntary or upon or following any acceleration of this
      Note, or otherwise, and for such purpose Maker has separately initialed
      this provision in the space provided below, and Maker hereby declares that
      Holder's agreement to make the Loan to Maker at the interest rate and for
      the term set forth in the Note constitutes adequate consideration, of
      individual weight, for this waiver and agreement by Maker.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else in this Note to the
      contrary, it is agreed that in the event this Note becomes due and payable
      as a result of the termination of all of the Property Management
      Agreements, Maker shall not be subject to the Yield Maintenance Premiums
      or other prepayment premiums contemplated herein and Maker shall only be
      required to repay the outstanding principal balance of this Note and
      accrued but unpaid Basic Interest and Deferred Interest through the date
      of such prepayment, it being agreed that in such event, Maker shall not be
      required to pay any Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest or Cash Flow
      Contingent Interest.

                       Maker's Initials:

      5.  Representations and Warranties of Maker.  Maker represents and
warrants to Payee, as of the date hereof, that:

            (a)  Due Authorization.  Maker is a corporation duly organized
      under the laws of the

                                       14
<PAGE>
      state of its organization, with the authority to own the Project and enter
      into the Debt Papers and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby;

            (b) No Violation. Maker's execution, delivery and performance of its
      obligations under the Debt Papers do not and will not violate the articles
      of incorporation or by-laws of Maker and will not violate, conflict with
      or constitute a default under any agreement to which Maker is a party or
      by which the Project is bound or encumbered, or violate any Requirements
      of Law to which Maker or the Project is subject;

            (c) Consents. No consents, approvals, filings, or notices of, with
      or to any Person are required on the part of Maker in connection with
      Maker's execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under the
      Debt Papers that have not been duly obtained, made or given, as the case
      may be;

            (d) Enforceability. The Debt Papers are valid, binding and
      enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability
      thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
      reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights generally.

            (e)  Compliance with Laws.  Each Mortgaged Property is in
      compliance in all material respects with all applicable Requirements of
      Law;

            (f) Zoning and Other Laws. The Project and the use thereof as a
      self-storage facility, separate and apart from any other properties,
      constitutes a legal and conforming use under applicable zoning regulations
      and each such Project is in compliance in all material respects with all
      applicable Requirements of Law;

            (g)  Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding or
      notice thereof before any arbitrator or governmental authority, agency
      or subdivision is pending or, to Maker's best knowledge, threatened,
      against Maker or the Project;

            (h) Utilities; Licenses. All utilities required by Requirements of
      Law or by the normal and intended use of the Project are installed to the
      property line and connected by valid permits and the Maker possesses, or
      will possess as and when necessary, all patents, patent rights or
      licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade name right, service marks,
      copyrights, licenses, permits and consents (or rights thereto) which are
      required to conduct its business as it is now conducted or as it is
      presently proposed to be conducted, or which are required by any
      governmental entity or agency;

            (i)  Easements.  Maker has obtained and has encumbered in favor
      of Holder pursuant to the Mortgage all easements, appurtenances and
      rights of way necessary for access to and the normal uses of the
      Project; and


                                       15
<PAGE>
            (i) Place of Business. Maker's principal place of business is
      located at 715 South Country Club Drive, Mesa, AZ 85210, and that address
      is its only place of business or its chief executive office.

      6.  Affirmative Covenants.  Maker hereby covenants and agrees that, so
long as any indebtedness under the Note remains unpaid, Maker shall:

            (a) Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Loan to repay certain
      indebtedness presently outstanding against the Project and held by Payee.

            (b)  Financial Statements.  Deliver or cause to be delivered to
      Holder:

                       (i) As soon as available and in any event within 90 days
            after the end of each calendar year, annual financial reports on the
            Project showing all income and expenses certified to be accurate and
            complete by an officer of the Maker; and

                       (ii) As soon as available and in any event within 45 days
            after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters of each
            year, (1) a detailed comparative earnings statement for such quarter
            and for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year
            and ending with the end of such quarter, and (2) financial reports
            on the Project showing all income and expenses, certified to be
            accurate and complete by an officer of the managing general partner
            of Maker (or, if Maker is a corporation, of Maker); and

                       (iii) Promptly, such additional financial and other
            information (including, without limitation, information regarding
            the Project) as Holder may from time to time reasonably request.

            (c) Inspection of Property; Books and Records; Discussions. Keep
      proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries
      in conformity with GAAP and all Requirements of Law shall be made of all
      dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities and,
      upon reasonable notice, permit representatives of Holder to examine and
      make abstracts from any of its books and records at any reasonable time
      and as often as may reasonably be desired by Holder and to discuss the
      business, operations, properties and financial and other conditions of
      Maker with officers and employees of Maker and with its independent
      certified public accountants. In addition, on the last day of each
      calendar month on which an Interest payment is due, Maker shall furnish to
      Holder a certified statement of operations of the Project for the calendar
      month in which such Interest payment is due, showing in reasonable detail
      and in a format approved by Holder the Gross Receipts, Operating Expenses,
      and Net Cash Flow, as well as (if required by Holder) all data necessary
      for the calculation of any such amounts. Maker shall keep and maintain at
      all times full and accurate books of account and records adequate to
      correctly reflect all such amounts. Such books and records shall be
      available for at least five (5) years after the end

                                       16
<PAGE>
      of the relevant calendar month. Holder shall have the right to inspect,
      copy and audit such books of account and records at Holder's expense,
      during reasonable business hours, and upon reasonable notice to Maker, for
      the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any principal payments made. The
      costs of any such audit will be paid by Holder, except that Maker shall
      pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any such audit which discloses
      that any amount properly payable by Maker to Holder hereunder exceeded by

      proceedings or disputes (whether or not purportedly on behalf of Maker)
      against, or to Maker's knowledge, threatened or affecting Maker or the

      have a Material Adverse Effect (without in any way limiting the foregoing,
      claims, proceedings, or disputes involving in the aggregate monetary
      amounts in excess of $15,000 not fully covered by insurance shall be
      deemed to be material, exclusive of deductibles in an amount not to exceed
      $1,000), or (b) any proposal by any public authority to acquire the
      Project or any portion thereof.

            (e) Expenses. Pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
      fees and disbursements of counsel, including special local counsel) of
      Holder, incident to any amendments, waivers and renewals relating to the
      Debt Papers and the protection of the rights of Holder under the Debt
      Papers whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, including, without
      limitation, in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
      reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceedings involving Maker or
      a "workout" of the Loan. The obligations of Maker under this Section 6(e)
      shall survive repayment of the Loan.

            (f)  Debt Papers.  Comply with and observe all terms and
      conditions of the Debt Papers.

            (g) INDEMNIFICATION. INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS HOLDER AND ITS
      DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS (THE "INDEMNIFIED
      PARTIES") FROM AND AGAINST ALL DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES (COLLECTIVELY AND
      SEVERALLY, "LOSSES") ASSESSED AGAINST ANY OF THEM RESULTING FROM THE
      CLAIMS OF ANY PARTY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE DEBT PAPERS OR THE
      TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, EXCEPT FOR LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS
      NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, AND REIMBURSE
      EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE FEES AND
      DISBURSEMENTS OF LEGAL COUNSEL) REASONABLY INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
      INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR OR DEFENSE OF ANY ACTUAL OR THREATENED
      CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY SUCH COSTS OF


                                       17
<PAGE>
      RESPONDING TO DISCOVERY REQUEST OR SUBPOENAS), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
      HOLDER OR SUCH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS A PARTY THERETO. WITHOUT
      DEROGATING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20 BELOW, IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND
      AGREED BY MAKER THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES
      HEREUNDER ARE IN ADDITION TO AND CUMULATIVE WITH ALL OTHER RIGHTS OF THE
      INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. WITH REFERENCE TO THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN
      THIS SECTION 6(G) FOR PAYMENT BY MAKER OF ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY THE
      INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN ANY ACTION OR CLAIM BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY, MAKER
      SHALL, IF IT ADMITS LIABILITY HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY,
      DILIGENTLY DEFEND SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY AND DILIGENTLY CONDUCT THE
      DEFENSE. IF HOLDER OR ANY OTHER SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY DESIRES TO ENGAGE
      SEPARATE COUNSEL, IT MAY DO SO AT ITS OWN EXPENSE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
      SUCH LIMITATION ON THE OBLIGATION OF MAKER TO PAY THE FEES OF SEPARATE
      COUNSEL FOR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL NOT APPLY IF SUCH INDEMNIFIED
      PARTY HAS RETAINED SAID SEPARATE COUNSEL BECAUSE OF A REASONABLE BELIEF
      THAT MAKER IS NOT DILIGENTLY DEFENDING IT AND/OR NOT DILIGENTLY CONDUCTING
      THE DEFENSE AND SO NOTIFIES MAKER. THE OBLIGATIONS OF MAKER UNDER THIS
      SECTION 6(G) SHALL SURVIVE REPAYMENT IN FULL OF THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED
      HEREBY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED, IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS SECTION
      6(G) THAT THE MAKER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED
      PARTIES FROM LOSSES OCCASIONED BY THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING,
      WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

      Project Manager shall be employed pursuant to an agreement (the "Property
      Management Agreement") approved by the Holder. In no event shall the fees
      paid (or required to be paid) to the Project Manager exceed six percent

      Receipts for any time period. The Maker agrees, upon request of the
      Holder, to exercise its right to terminate any Project Manager upon the
      occurrence and continuance of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) a Sale of
      U-Haul International, Inc. or such Project Manager, (iii) a breach by such
      Project Manager of its respective Property Management Agreement, or (iv)

      obligation of, or acquire any stock, obligations or securities of, or
      enter into any merger or consolidation agreement, or any management or
      similar agreement with, any Affiliate, or enter into any other transaction

      terms which are unreasonably burdensome or unfair, except (i) transactions
      relating to the sharing of overhead expenses, including, without
      limitation, managerial, payroll and accounting and legal expenses, for
      which charges assessed against Maker are not greater than would be

            (c) Any representation, warranty or certification made by Maker

Default described in the preceding clause (e) of this Section 8, without further
action or decision by Holder) ; and the Holder shall have and may exercise any
and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity and also any and

                                       21
<PAGE>
all rights and remedies provided in the Mortgage and any of the other Security
Documents.

      9. Offset. In addition to (and not in limitation of) any rights of offset
that the Holder hereof may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default hereunder the Holder hereof shall have the right, immediately

Note and all amounts hereunder (including principal, Interest, and other charges
and amounts, if any) are paid in full, all payments (whether of principal,
Interest or other amounts) made by the undersigned or any other person
(including any guarantor) to the Holder hereof may be allocated by the Holder to
principal, Interest or other charges or amounts as the Holder may determine in
its sole, exclusive and unreviewable discretion (and without notice to or the
consent of any person).

      11.  Captions.  Any headings or captions in this Note are inserted for
convenience of reference only, and they shall not be deemed to constitute a
part hereof, nor shall they be used to construe or interpret the provisions
of this Note.

      12.  Waiver.

            (a) Maker, for itself and for its successors, transferees and
      assigns and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waives diligence,
      presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and
      nonpayment, dishonor and notice of dishonor, notice of the intention to
      accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other demands or notices of
      any and every kind whatsoever (except only for any notice of default
      expressly provided for in Section 8 of this Note or in the Security
      Documents) and the undersigned agrees that this Note and any or all
      payments coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time in the
      sole discretion of the Holder hereof without in any way affecting or
      diminishing their liability hereunder.

            (b) No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
      payment becoming due or payable hereunder, which may be made by agreement
      with any Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note,

      liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of the Maker if it
      is not a party to such agreement.

            (c) No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall
      be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall the exercise of any
      right or remedy be deemed an election of remedies or a waiver of any other
      right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
      failure of the Holder hereof promptly after the occurrence of any Event of
      Default hereunder to exercise its right to declare the indebtedness
      remaining unmatured hereunder to be immediately due and payable shall not
      constitute a waiver of such right while such Event of Default continues
      nor a waiver of such right in connection

                                       22
<PAGE>
      with any future Event of Default on the part of the undersigned.

the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Note, the undersigned will pay
to the Holder hereof, on demand, all costs of collection or enforcement of every
kind, including (but not limited to) all attorneys' fees, court costs, and other
costs and expenses of every kind incurred by the Holder hereof, on demand, all
costs of collection or enforcement of every kind, including (but not limited to)
all attorneys' fees, court costs, and other costs and expenses of every kind
incurred by the Holder hereof in connection with the protection or realization
of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is ever
filed with respect thereto.

by, inter alia, certain Deeds of Trust (and Mortgages, and Deeds to Secure
Debt), Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Financing
