         AND without limiting any of the other provisions of this Security
Instrument, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower expressly grants
to Lender, as secured party, a security interest in the portion of the Property
which is or may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code
which are applicable to secured transactions; it being understood and agreed
that the Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land,
the Improvements and the Fixtures collectively referred to as the "Real
Property") appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to
the Real Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Security Instrument be
deemed conclusively to be real estate and mortgaged hereby.

         Section 1.2   ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower
that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an
assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

of the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument,
Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy
the Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to
discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.
This Section 1.2 is intended to provide Lender with all rights and remedies of
mortgagees pursuant to Section 697.07 of the Florida Statutes, as may be amended
from time to time. However, in no event shall this reference diminish, alter,
impair or affect any other rights or remedies of Lender.

         Section 1.3   SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a
real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property
and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument,
Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter
defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal
Property and other property constituting the Property to the full extent that
the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may
be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so
subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the "Collateral"). If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary
for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or
demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property)
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and
all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred
or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing
its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition
or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to
Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business
days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable
law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition
of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by
applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority
and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. The principal
place of business of Borrower (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and
the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

         Section 1.4   FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will become
"fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land,
described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security
Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city
or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing
statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions
of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become
fixtures.

                                      -5-

         Section 1.5   PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender
any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender in
connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in
the Accounts (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and Net Proceeds, as
additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in
this Security Instrument.

                               CONDITIONS TO GRANT

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and
to the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, forever;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that,
if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this Security Instrument,
shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security
Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every
covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof shall
survive any such payment or release.

promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be
destroyed by any Casualty or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be

any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land.

operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or allow the
cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may
in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this
Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or

         Section 3.6   PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. (a) Borrower will
promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically
fabricated materials ("Labor and Material Costs") incurred in connection with
the Property and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of
the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though
inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never
permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any
other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security

         (b)      After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and

Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan
Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other
mortgage, deed of trust or deed

                                      -7-

shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part
thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,

prior to the effective date of such change, (b) taking all action required by
Lender for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the lien and security
interest of Lender and (c) in the case of a change in Borrower's structure,

identification number. If Borrower does not now have an organizational
identification number and later obtains one, Borrower shall promptly notify
Lender in writing of such organizational identification number. Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective
date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change
required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and
priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender,
Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the

between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender
has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or
condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and
the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship
between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are
experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the

business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.
Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.

the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or
approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect
thereto by Lender.

         Section 4.4   RELIANCE. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in
accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other
Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and
accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Article III of the
Loan Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and
notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance
existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and
representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that
Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Security Instrument
in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article III
of the Loan Agreement.

                         Article 5 - FURTHER ASSURANCES

         Section 5.1   RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower forthwith
upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from
time to time, will cause this Security Instrument and any of the other Loan
Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof
upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed,
registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by
any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and
perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender
in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording
fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment
and/or recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan
Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance,
and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal,
state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security
Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance,
and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where
prohibited by law so to do.

         Section 5.2   FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of
Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver
all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall,
from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring,

                                      -9-

conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and
rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed,
pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to
be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign
to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of
the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording
this Security Instrument, or for complying with all Legal Requirements.
Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to
so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of
Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully
do so, one or more financing statements (including, without limitation, initial
financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements) with or
without the signature of Borrower as authorized by applicable law, to evidence
more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Property. Borrower also
ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed any like initial financing
statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, if filed prior to
the date of this Security Instrument. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable
power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and
perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in
equity, including without limitation such rights and remedies available to
Lender pursuant to this Section 5.2. To the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, Borrower hereby ratifies all acts Lender has lawfully done in the past or
shall lawfully do or cause to be done in the future by virtue of such power of
attorney. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to create an
obligation on the part of Borrower to pay any costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with the Securitization or other sale or Transfer of the
Loan.

         Section 5.3   CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS.
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security
Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose
of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt
or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that
the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have
the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

         (b)      Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit
or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges
assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall
otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any
part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument
or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender
shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty
(120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

         (c)      If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof
or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be
affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan
Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

         Section 5.4   SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Security Instrument and the
Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the
sole election of Lender, be split or

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of
which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly
described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or its designee or
designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts,
aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note, and
containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to those contained herein and
in the Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by
Lender.

         Section 5.5   REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note
or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of
any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan
Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan
Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or
other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor.

                      Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE

         Section 6.1   LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and
the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that,
should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the
Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

         Section 6.2   NO TRANSFER . Borrower shall not permit or suffer any
Transfer to occur, unless specifically permitted by Article 8 of the Loan
Agreement or unless Lender shall consent thereto in writing.

         Section 6.3   TRANSFER DEFINED. As used in this Article 6 "Transfer"
shall mean any voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant,
bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of: (a) all or any part of
the Property or any estate or interest therein including, but not be limited to,
(i) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property
or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments, (ii) an agreement by
Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder and its affiliates or (iii) a sale,
assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in,
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; or (b)
any ownership interest in (i) Borrower or (ii) any indemnitor or guarantor of
any Obligations or (iii) any corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, trust or other entity owning, directly or indirectly, any interest in
Borrower or any indemnitor or guarantor of any Obligations.

         Section 6.4   LENDER'S RIGHTS. Without obligating Lender to grant any
consent under Section 6.2 hereof which Lender may grant or withhold in its sole
discretion, Lender reserves the right to condition the consent required
hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and of the Loan Agreement,
the Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) an assumption of the Loan Agreement,
the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents as so modified
by the proposed transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 11.22 of the
Loan Agreement; (c) payment of all of Lender's reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with such transfer; (d) the confirmation in writing by the applicable
Rating Agencies that the proposed transfer will not, in and of itself, result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the initial, or, if higher, then
current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization; (e) the delivery
of a nonconsolidation opinion reflecting the proposed transfer satisfactory in
form and substance to Lender; (f) the proposed transferee's continued compliance
with the representations and covenants set forth in Section 3.1.24 and 4.2.11 of
the Loan Agreement; (g) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders,
partners or members, as the case may be, following such transfers are in
accordance with the standards of the Rating Agencies; (h) the proposed
transferee's ability to satisfy Lender's then-current underwriting standards; or
(i) such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion
to be in the interest of Lender, including, without limitation, the
creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the transferee with respect
to the Loan and the Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without
Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer, other than any
Transfer permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement, regardless of whether
voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous
Transfer.

                  Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

         Section 7.1   REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action,
without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its
rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited
to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole
discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and

payable;

         (b)      institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete

credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any
order or manner;

         (c)      with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to
the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial
foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and
payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security
Instrument for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss
of priority;

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

         (d)      sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof
and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and
rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or
more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such
terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;

         (e)      institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the
specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein,

         (f)      recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after
any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other
Loan Documents;

         (g)      apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the
adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of
Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor with respect to the Loan or of any Person
liable for the payment of the Debt;

         (h)      the license granted to Borrower under Section 1.2 hereof shall
automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either
personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and
its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or
otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and
take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower
agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and
accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use, operate,
manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all
and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete
any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems
advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and
improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of
Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or
modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and
receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower
to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the
Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such
part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to
vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver
and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the
Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate
in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations
and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other
expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees;

         (i)      exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured
party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of
the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and
to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care,
protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal
Property, and (ii)

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

request Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment and the
Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place
acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action
by Lender with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment and/or the Personal
Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five
(5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice
to Borrower;

         (j)      apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise
by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement,
this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the
following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

                  (i)      Taxes and Other Charges;

                  (ii)     Insurance Premiums;

                  (iii)    Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note;

                  (iv)     Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the
         Note;

                  (v)      All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan
         Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents,
         including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the
         terms of this Security Instrument;

         (k)      pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable
law; or

         (l)      apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency
deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such
order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its
discretion.

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than
all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security
interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of
priority.

         Section 7.2   APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and
avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other
sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the
other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, to
the extent consistent with law.

         Section 7.3   RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation
to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing
Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and
to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.
Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in,
defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the
Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the
cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent
permitted by law), with interest as

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in
appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such
cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs
and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the
Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured
by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

         Section 7.4   ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to appear
in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and
to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Property.

         Section 7.5   RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have
the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for
a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.

         Section 7.6   EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times and
upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have
the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower
which reflect upon its financial condition, at the Property or at any office
regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are located. Lender
and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the
foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the
right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining to the
income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours
at any office of Borrower where the books and records are located. This Section
7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

         Section 7.7   OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist
upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of
Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to
comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect
to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or
otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan
Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any
part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion
thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of
payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

         (b)      It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property
is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in
value of the Property, for failure to

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is
adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be
deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or
obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.

         (c)      Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under
this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none
shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the
exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the
rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and
remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

         Section 7.8   RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may
release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require
without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting
the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Property.

         Section 7.9   VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material
compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements
upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary
reserves or financial equivalents.

         Section 7.10  RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 11.22 of the Loan Agreement, Lender and other
Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the
obligations of Borrower, any guarantor and indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2
and 9.3 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to
or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to
the Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event Lender commences a
foreclosure action against the Property, Lender is entitled to pursue a
deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower and any
guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Sections 9.2
and 9.3 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to any
non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor
or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the
obligations pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement. The liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with
respect to the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein and Section 9.2 of
the Loan Agreement is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender
from foreclosing or exercising any other rights and

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and
the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or
in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein and Section
9.2 of the Loan Agreement, whether or not action is brought against any other
Person or whether or not any other Person is joined in the action or actions. In
addition, Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to join and
participate in, as a party if it so elects, any administrative or judicial
proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any matter addressed in the
Environmental Indemnity.

         Section 7.11  RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower,
Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at
all reasonable times.

                       Article 8 - INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

                          Article 9 - INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 9.1   GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall, at its sole cost
and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the

fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in
settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential
damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to reasonable

of, the Debt, and the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument, or any
other Loan Documents; (c) any and all lawful action that may be taken by Lender
in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Security Instrument
or the Loan Agreement or the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or
not suit is filed in connection with same, or in connection with Borrower, any
guarantor or indemnitor and/or any partner, joint venturer or shareholder
thereof becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) any accident, injury to or
death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the
Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent
property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (e) any use, nonuse or
condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining

attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in any such claim or proceeding
include both Borrower and any Indemnified Party and Borrower and such
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal
defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different
from or additional to those available to Borrower, such Indemnified Party shall
have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Party, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered
without Borrower's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of
reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental
consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE, THE APPLICATION FOR

such advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Lender or the
holder hereof, or otherwise, as are made within twenty (20) years from the date
hereof, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of
the execution of this Security Instrument. The total amount of Obligations that
may be so secured by this Security Instrument may be increased or decreased from
time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time shall not
exceed $200,000,000, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made under

levies, insurance, or otherwise with interest on such disbursements at the rate
set forth in the Note or the other Loan Documents, plus any increases in the
principal balance as the result of negative amortization or deferred interest,
if any. It is agreed that any additional sum or sums advanced by Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof shall be equally secured with, and have the same priority
as, the original Obligations and shall be subject to all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Security Instrument, whether or not such
additional loans or advances are evidenced by other promissory notes or other
guaranties of Borrower and whether or not identified by a recital that it or
they are secured by this Security Instrument. It is further agreed that any
additional promissory note or guaranty or promissory notes or guaranties
executed and delivered pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically be deemed
to be included in the term "Note" wherever it appears in the context of this
