                                   Article VI

                               General Conditions

     6.1 The following conditions shall be applicable at all times during the
term of the Loan:

          (a) Any advance by Lender of Loan proceeds hereunder made prior to or
     without the fulfillment by Borrower of all of the conditions precedent
     thereto, whether or not known to Lender, shall not constitute a waiver by
     Lender of the requirement that all conditions, including the non-performed
     conditions, shall be required with respect to all future advances;

          (b) All documentation and proceedings deemed by Lender to be necessary
     or required in connection with this Agreement and the documents relating
     hereto shall be subject to the prior approval of, and satisfactory to,
     Lender as to form and substance. In addition, the persons or parties
     responsible for the execution and delivery of, and signatories to, all of
     such documentation, shall be acceptable to, and subject to the approval of,
     Lender;

          (c) If at any time Lender notifies Borrower that, in Lender's
     reasonable judgment, the undisbursed balance of the Loan (including
     contingency) is insufficient to pay the remaining Hard Costs and Soft
     Costs, Borrower shall either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to
     such deficiency which Lender may from time to time apply, or allow Borrower
     to apply, to such Hard Costs and Soft Costs; or (ii) pay for such Hard
     Costs and Soft Costs in the amount of such deficiency so that the amount of
     the Loan which remains to be disbursed shall be sufficient to complete the
     Improvements, and

                                       16
<PAGE>

     Borrower shall furnish Lender with such evidence thereof as Lender shall
     require. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and
     security interest in any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and
     that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the
     payment of the aforesaid Hard Costs and Soft Costs as approved by Lender.
     Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to
     Borrower when and to the extent that Lender determines that the amount
     thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the total remaining Hard Costs
     and Soft Costs of completion of the Improvements over the undisbursed
     balance of the Loan; provided, however, that should an Event of Default
     occur under the Note or Mortgage, Lender may, at its option, apply such
     amounts either to the costs of completion of the Improvements or to the
     immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the
     Note;

          (d) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note or
     Mortgage, Borrower does hereby irrevocably authorize Lender to advance any
     undisbursed Loan proceeds directly to the General Contractor,
     Subcontractors and other persons to pay for completion of the Improvements
     but Lender is under no obligation to do so. No further direction or
     authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct
     advances and all such advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of
     Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage as fully as if made
     to Borrower regardless of the disposition thereof by the General
     Contractor, any Subcontractor or other person;

          (e) All conditions of the obligation of Lender to make advances
     hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and
     may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by Lender at any time
     if in its sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so, and no person
     other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been
     satisfied) shall have standing to require Lender to make any Loan advances
     or to be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made
     hereunder. Any waiver or modification asserted by Borrower to have been
     agreed to by Lender must be in writing and comply with the provisions of
     subsection (h) of this Section;

          (f) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse proceeds
     of the Loan to pay: (i) interest accrued on the Note as it comes due; (ii)
     any and all commitment or loan fees; (iii) travel and inspection fees of
     Lender; (iv) fees and expenses of Lender's counsel; and (v) to satisfy any
     of the conditions of this Agreement; notwithstanding that Borrower may not
     have requested disbursement of such amounts and whether or not Borrower may
     be in default under the Note or Mortgage. Any such disbursements shall be
     added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall be secured
     by the Mortgage. The authorization granted hereby shall not prevent
     Borrower from paying interest, or satisfying said conditions, from its own
     funds and shall in no event be construed so as to relieve Borrower from its
     obligation to pay interest as and when due under the Note, or to satisfy
     said conditions, or to obligate Lender to disburse Loan proceeds for the
     payment of interest or the satisfaction of said conditions;

          (g) All notices to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if given in
     accordance with the provisions contained in Section 23 of the Mortgage;

                                       17
<PAGE>

          (h) No provisions of the Note, Mortgage, UCC-1 Financing Statements or
     this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, by
     telephone or by any other means except an instrument in writing signed by
     the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
     termination is sought;

          (i) Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon
     and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs,
     personal representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, which
     consent may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion, may not assign,
     transfer or set over to another, in whole or in part, all or any part of
     its benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including, without
     limitation, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof and the
     right to receive the proceeds of current or future advances; (j) Borrower
     acknowledges that Borrower has selected or will select all architects,
     engineers, contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and others furnishing
     services or materials for the Improvements and that Lender shall have no
     responsibility whatsoever for them or for any inspection reports or for the
     quality of their materials or workmanship. It is understood that Lender's
     sole function is that of lender and that the only consideration passing
     from Lender to Borrower are the Loan proceeds in accordance with and
     subject to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right to
     rely on any procedures required by Lender herein, such procedures being
     solely for the benefit and protection of Lender; and

          (k) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
     by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
     executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
     counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
     signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
     attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically
     attached to the same document.

     6.2 The cover page and the Exhibits annexed hereto are incorporated as a
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

     Pending disbursement of the full proceeds of the loan secured by the
mortgage set forth under Schedule A hereof, this policy insures only to the
extent of the amount actually disbursed, but increases as each disbursement is
made up to the face amount of the policy. However, if disbursements are made
which the holder of such mortgage was not obligated to make after holder's
receipt of a written notice of a lien or encumbrance or of work or labor
performed or to be performed or of machinery, material or fuel furnished or to
be furnished, said mortgage, to the extent of said disbursements, shall be
subordinate to the lien or encumbrance specified in such notice or to a valid
mechanic's lien for the work or labor actually performed or machinery, material
or fuel actually furnished as specified in such notice.
