Date thereafter, the Maker may, at its option and upon fifteen (15) days prior
written notice from Maker to Payee, prepay in whole or in part, in $100,000
increments only, the outstanding principal balance of this Note and any other

other premium or penalty. If prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date and

an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt at any time prior to a sale of the
Mortgaged Property, either through foreclosure or the exercise of the other
remedies available to Payee under the Mortgage, such tender by Maker shall be

Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required under the Defeasance Option.

order of priority:

         (i)   First, to fund the ax and Insurance Impound Fund Account (as
               established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement) until the
               amount on deposit therein is equal to the amount required to be
               deposited in the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund (as defined in
               the Mortgage) on the related Payment Date in accordance with the
               terms and conditions of the Mortgage;

         (ii)  Second, to fund the Monthly Debt Service Subaccount (as
               established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement) until the
               amount on deposit therein is equal to the Monthly Payment Amount;

         (iii) Third, to fund the Monthly Debt Service Subaccount with any other
               amounts due to the Payee under the Loan Documents not otherwise
               addressed by this Paragraph;

         (iv)  Fourth, to fund the Replacement Escrow Fund Subaccount (as
               established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement) until the
               amount on deposit therein is equal to the amount required to be
               deposited in the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the
               Mortgage) on the related Payment Date in accordance with the
               terms and conditions of the Mortgage;

         (v)   Fifth, to fund the Duke Contract Fund Subaccount (as established
               pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement) until the amount on
               deposit therein is equal to the amount required to be deposited
               in the Duke Contract Escrow Fund (as defined in the Mortgage) on
               the related Payment Date in accordance with the terms and
               conditions of the Mortgage;

         (vi)  Lastly, to pay to the Maker any Rents remaining after making the
               foregoing payments.

Loan Documents, whether or not Rents are available to make such payments.

         (b)   For each calendar year commencing with the calendar year in which
the Anticipated Repayment Date occurs, the Maker shall submit to the Payee for
the Payee's written approval an Annual Budget not later than sixty (60) days
prior to the commencement of such calendar year, in form satisfactory to Payee
setting forth in reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income and monthly
operating capital and other expenses for the Mortgaged Property. Each Annual
Budget shall contain, among other things, limitations on management fees, third
party service fees, and other expenses as the Maker may reasonably determine.
Payee shall have the right to approve such Annual Budget which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and in the event that Payee objects to the
proposed Annual Budget submitted by Maker, Payee shall advise Maker of such
objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Maker
a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Maker shall within
three (3) days after receipt of notice of any such objections revise such Annual
Budget and resubmit the same to Payee. Payee shall advise Maker of any
objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof (and deliver to Maker a reasonably detailed description of such
objections) and Maker shall revise the same in accordance with the process
described in this subparagraph until the Payee approves an Annual Budget,
provided, however, that if Payee shall not advise Maker of its objections to any
proposed Annual Budget within the applicable time period set forth in this
paragraph, then such proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed approved by Payee.
Until such time that Payee approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently
Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget
shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in real estate taxes, insurance
premiums and utilities expenses.

         9.    In the event that the Maker does not pay the Debt in full on or
before the Anticipated Repayment Date, the provisions of Paragraph 8 as set
forth above shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not inconsistent
with this Paragraph 9 (but Paragraph 9 shall control), and the following
subparagraphs also shall apply:

         (a)   From and after the Anticipated Repayment Date, interest shall
accrue on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding on this
Note at the Extended Term Rate. Interest accrued at the Extended Term Rate and
not paid pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall be deferred and added to the Debt
and shall earn interest at the Extended Term Rate to the extent permitted by

payable on the Maturity Date.

         (b)   All Rents deposited in the Cash Collateral Account during each

                amount on deposit therein is equal to the Monthly Payment Amount

                Initial Term Interest Rate with the remainder applied to the
                reduction of the outstanding principal balance of this Note);

         (iii)  Third, to fund the Monthly Debt Service Subaccount with any

                which such Collection Period ends pursuant to the terms and
                conditions of the related Approved Annual Budget;

         (vii)  Seventh, to fund the Operating Expense Subaccount with any Net
                Capital Expenditures for the month in which such Collection

                Approved Annual Budget;

<PAGE>

Payee's sole discretion; provided however, such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld if the Maker certifies to Payee that the item to be funded
is necessary for the preservation of the structure situated on the Mortgaged
Property or for the health or safety of its occupants or the public in general
or otherwise is required by law.

         (d) Nothing in this Paragraph 9 shall limit, reduce or otherwise affect
Maker's obligations to make payments of the Monthly Payment Amount, payments to

         10. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Maker and
Payee at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United
States federal law (to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for, charge,
take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and
that this Paragraph (and the similar paragraph contained in the Mortgage) shall
control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the other Loan
Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or
under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved, or received with respect to the Debt, or if Payee's exercise of the
option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment or the exercise of
any Defeasance Option by Maker results in Maker having paid any interest in
excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Payee's express intent
that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Payee shall be credited on the
principal balance of this Note and all other Debt and the provisions of this
Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts
thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity
of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law,
but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for
hereunder or thereunder and permitted by law. All sums paid or agreed to be paid
to Payee for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long
as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Payee
to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of
such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.

         11. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of
Maker or Payee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change,
discharge or termination is sought. Whenever used, the singular number shall
include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words "Payee" and "Maker"
shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators. If Maker consists of more than one person or party, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and
several.

         12. Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment of all
or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for
payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment,
notice of intent to accelerate the

                                       8

<PAGE>

maturity hereof and of acceleration. No release of any security for the Debt or
any person liable for payment of the Debt, no extension of time for payment of
this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents made by agreement between Payee and any
other person or party shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change,
discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Maker, and any other person or
party who may become liable under the Loan Documents for the payment of all or
any part of the Debt.

         13. Subject to the qualifications below, Payee shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Maker or its constituent members, partners,
shareholders, directors, employees or agents to perform and observe the
obligations contained in this Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by
any legal, equitable or other action or proceeding wherein a judgment shall be
sought against Maker or its constituent members, partners, shareholders,
directors, employees or agents, except that Payee may bring a foreclosure
action, and may bring against the Maker or the Mortgaged Property an action for
specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable
Payee to enforce and realize upon its interest under this Note, the Mortgage and
the other Loan Documents, or in the Mortgaged Property, the Rents, or any other
collateral given to Payee pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however,
that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be enforceable against Maker only to the extent of Maker's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral
given to Payee, and Payee, by accepting this Note, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency
