defend the title and possession thereof against the lawful claims of any and all
persons whomsoever.

                                       4

<PAGE>

Principal), all guarantors of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, and all
persons and entities executing any separate indemnity agreement in favor of
Beneficiary in connection with the Indebtedness, and, to the best of the
knowledge of Grantor, all persons and entities indirectly owning an ownership

or release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents.
If Beneficiary elects to apply the insurance loss proceeds on the Indebtedness,
no prepayment privilege fee shall be due thereon.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, Beneficiary agrees that if the
insurance loss proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note
and if the casualty occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Note, then
the insurance loss proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to
restoration of the Property to its condition prior to the casualty, subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions:

      (a)   There is no existing Event of Default at the time of casualty, and
            if there shall occur any Event of Default after the date of the
            casualty, Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to release
            insurance loss proceeds hereunder during the continuation thereof.

      (c)   Beneficiary shall be reasonably satisfied that all insurance loss
            proceeds so held, together with supplemental funds to be made
            available by Grantor, shall be sufficient to complete the
            restoration of the Property. Any remaining insurance loss proceeds
            may, at the option of Beneficiary, be applied on the Indebtedness,
            without a prepayment privilege fee, whether or not due, or be
            released to Grantor.

      (d)   If required by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall be furnished a
            satisfactory report addressed to Beneficiary from an environmental
            engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to Beneficiary
            to the effect that no adverse environmental impact to the Property
            resulted from the casualty.

      (e)   Beneficiary shall release casualty insurance proceeds as restoration
            of the Property progresses provided that Beneficiary is furnished
            satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the
            time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default (as
            hereinafter defined) and no default with respect to which
            Beneficiary shall have given Grantor notice pursuant to the NOTICE
            OF DEFAULT provision herein. If the estimated cost of restoration
            exceeds $250,000.00, (i) the drawings and specifications for the
            restoration shall be approved by Beneficiary in writing prior to
            commencement of the restoration, and (ii) Beneficiary shall receive
            an administration fee equal to 1% of the cost of restoration.

      (f)   Prior to each release of funds, Grantor shall obtain for the benefit
            of Beneficiary an endorsement to Beneficiary's title insurance
            policy insuring Beneficiary's lien as a first and valid lien on the
            Property subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved
            by Beneficiary.

      (g)   Grantor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary,
            including, but not limited to, reasonable outside legal fees, title
            insurance costs, third-party disbursement fees, third-party
            engineering reports and inspections deemed necessary by Beneficiary
            in its reasonable discretion.

      (h)   All reciprocal easement and operating agreements benefiting the
            Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect between the
            parties thereto on and after restoration of the Property.

      (i)   Beneficiary shall be satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage
            of at least 1.10 will be produced from the leasing of not more than
            161 units to

                                       6

<PAGE>

            former residents or approved new residents with leases satisfactory
            to Beneficiary for terms of at least one year to commence not later
            than (30) days following completion of such restoration ("Approved
            Leases").

      "Projected Debt Service Coverage" means a number calculated by dividing
Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service for the first fiscal year
following restoration of the Property by the debt service during the same fiscal
year under all indebtedness secured by any portion of the Property. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, "debt service" means the greater of (x) debt service
due under all such indebtedness during the first fiscal year following
completion of the restoration of the Property or (y) debt service that would be
due and payable during such fiscal year if all such indebtedness were amortized
over 25 years (whether or not amortization is actually required) and if interest
on such indebtedness were due as it accrues at the face rate shown on the notes
therefore (whether or not interest payments based on such face rates are
required).

      "Projected Operating Income Available for Debt Service" means projected
gross annual rent from the Approved Leases for the first full fiscal year
following completion of the restoration of the Property less:

(A)   The operating expenses of the Property for the last fiscal year preceding
      the casualty and

(B)   the following:

      (i)   a replacement reserve for capital improvements, unit remodels and
            structural items based on not less than $350 per unit per annum;

      (ii)  the amount, if any, by which actual gross income during such fiscal
            period exceeds that which would be earned from the rental of 92% of
            the units at the Property;

      (iii) the amount, if any, by which the actual management fee is less than
            5% of effective gross revenue during such fiscal period;

      (iv)  the amount, if any, by which the actual real estate taxes are less
            than $2,324 per unit per annum; and

      (v)   the amount, if any, by which total actual operating expenses,
            excluding management fees, real estate taxes and replacement
            reserves, are less than $16,530 per unit per annum.

                                       7

<PAGE>

      All projections referenced above shall be calculated in a manner
satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable discretion.

CONDEMNATION. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary (i) any award and any other
proceeds resulting from damage to, or the taking of, all or any portion of the
Property, and (ii) the proceeds from any sale or transfer in lieu thereof
(collectively, "Condemnation Proceeds") in connection with condemnation
proceedings or the exercise of any power of eminent domain or the threat thereof
(hereinafter, a "Taking"); any Condemnation Proceeds shall, at Beneficiary's
option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or to the
restoration of the Property, or be released to Grantor, but such application or
release shall not cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents. Any
portion of such award and proceeds not applied to restoration shall, at
Beneficiary's option, be applied on the Indebtedness, whether due or not, or be
released to Grantor, but such application or release shall not cure or waive any
default under any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Condemnation Proceeds are less than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and
such damage or Taking occurs prior to the last year of the term of the Note,
such Condemnation Proceeds (less expenses of collection) shall be applied to
restoration of the Property to its condition, or the functional equivalent of
its condition prior to the Taking, provided that restoration or replacement of
the improvements on the Land to their functional and economic utility prior to
the Taking be possible, and provided that the following conditions are
satisfied:

      (a)   There is no existing Event of Default at the time of the Taking, and
            if there shall occur any Event of Default after the date of the
            Taking, Beneficiary shall have no further obligation to release
            Condemnation Proceeds hereunder.

      (b)   Beneficiary shall be reasonably satisfied that all Condemnation
            Proceeds so held, together with supplemental funds to be made
            available by Grantor, shall be sufficient to complete the
            restoration of the Property. Any remaining Condemnation Proceeds
            may, at the option of Beneficiary, be applied on the Indebtedness,
            whether or not due, or be released to Grantor.

      (c)   If reasonably required by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall be
            furnished a satisfactory report addressed to Beneficiary from an
            environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory
            to Beneficiary to the effect that no adverse environmental impact to
            the Property resulted from the Taking.

      (d)   Beneficiary shall release Condemnation Proceeds as restoration of
            the Property progresses provided that Beneficiary is furnished
            satisfactory evidence of the costs of restoration and if, at the
            time of such release, there shall exist no Monetary Default (as
            hereinafter defined) and no default with

                                       8

<PAGE>

            respect to which Beneficiary shall have given Grantor notice
            pursuant to the NOTICE OF DEFAULT provision herein. If the estimated
            cost of restoration exceeds $250,000.00, (i) the drawings and
            specifications for the restoration shall be approved by Beneficiary
            in writing prior to commencement of the restoration, and (ii)
            Beneficiary shall receive an administration fee equal to 1% of the
            cost of restoration.

      (e)   Prior to each release of funds, Grantor shall obtain for the benefit
            of Beneficiary an endorsement to Beneficiary's title insurance
            policy insuring Beneficiary's lien as a first and valid lien on the
            Property subject only to liens and encumbrances theretofore approved
            by Beneficiary.

      (f)   Grantor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary,
            including, but not limited to, outside legal fees, title insurance
            costs, third-party disbursement fees, third-party engineering
            reports and inspections deemed necessary by Beneficiary in its
            reasonable discretion.

      (g)   All reciprocal easement and operating agreements benefiting the
            Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect between the
            parties thereto on and after restoration of the Property.

      (h)   Beneficiary shall be satisfied that Projected Debt Service Coverage
            of at least 1.10 will be produced from the leasing of not more than
            161 units to former residents or approved new residents with leases
            satisfactory to Beneficiary for terms of at least one year to
            commence not later than thirty (30) days following completion of
            such restoration ("Approved Leases").

TAXES AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. Grantor agrees to pay before delinquency all
taxes and special assessments of any kind that have been or may be levied or
assessed against the Property, this instrument, the Note or the Indebtedness, or
upon the interest of Trustee or Beneficiary in the Property, this instrument,

30 days after Beneficiary shall have given a written request to Grantor, the

thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

COSTS, FEES AND EXPENSES. Grantor agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses of
this trust; to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to
affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee
hereunder; to pay all costs and expenses, including the cost of obtaining
evidence of title and reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in connection with
any such action or proceeding; and to pay any and all attorney's fees and
expenses of collection and enforcement in the event the Note is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection, enforcement of any of the Loan Documents is
undertaken or suit is brought thereon.

FAILURE OF GRANTOR TO ACT. If Grantor fails to make any payment or do any act as
herein provided, Beneficiary or Trustee may, without obligation so to do,
without notice to or demand upon Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any
obligation hereof: (i) make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as
Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or
Trustee being authorized to enter upon the Property for such purpose; (ii)
appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security
hereof, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; (iii) pay, purchase,
contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of
Beneficiary appears to be prior or superior hereto; and (iv) in exercising any
such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay its reasonable fees.
Sums so expended shall be payable by Grantor immediately upon demand with
interest from date of expenditure at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note).
All sums so expended by Beneficiary and the interest thereon shall be included
in the Indebtedness and secured by the lien of this instrument.

EVENT OF DEFAULT. Any default by Grantor in making any required payment of the
Indebtedness or any default in any provision, covenant, agreement, warranty or
certification contained in any of the Loan Documents shall, except as provided
in the two immediately succeeding paragraphs, constitute an "Event of Default".

NOTICE OF DEFAULT. A default in any payment required in the Note or any other
Loan Document, whether or not payable to Beneficiary, (a "Monetary Default")
shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall have given a
written notice of such Monetary Default to Grantor and Grantor shall not have
cured such Monetary Default by payment of all amounts in default (including
payment of interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note, from the date
of default to the date of cure on amounts owed to Beneficiary) within five (5)
business days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice
to Grantor.

      Any other default under the Note or under any other Loan Document (a
"Non-Monetary Default") shall not constitute an Event of Default unless
Beneficiary shall have given a written notice of such Non-Monetary Default to
Grantor and Grantor shall not have cured such Non-Monetary Default within thirty
(30) days after the date on which Beneficiary shall have given such notice of
default to Grantor (or, if the

                                       11

<PAGE>

Non-Monetary Default is not curable within such 30-day period, Grantor shall not
have diligently undertaken and continued to pursue the curing of such
Non-Monetary Default and deposited an amount sufficient to cure such
Non-Monetary Default in an escrow account satisfactory to Beneficiary).

      In no event shall the notice and cure period provisions recited above
constitute a grace period for the purposes of commencing interest at the Default
Rate (as defined in the Note).

SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Beneficiary and its successors and assigns may for any
reason and at any time appoint a new or substitute Trustee by written
appointment delivered to such new or substitute Trustee without notice to
Grantor, without notice to, or the resignation or withdrawal by, the existing
Trustee and without recordation of such written appointment unless notice or
recordation is required by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is
located. Upon delivery of such appointment, the new or substitute Trustee shall
be vested with the same title and with the same powers and duties granted to the
original Trustee.

APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Upon commencement of any proceeding to enforce any
right under this instrument, including foreclosure thereof, Beneficiary (without
limitation or restriction by any present or future law, without regard to the
solvency or insolvency at that time of any party liable for the payment of the
Indebtedness, without regard to the then value of the Property, whether or not
there exists a threat of imminent harm, waste or loss to the Property and
whether or not the same shall then be occupied by the owner of the equity of
redemption as a homestead) shall have the absolute right to the appointment of a
receiver of the Property and of the revenues, rents, profits and other income
therefrom, and said receiver shall have (in addition to such other powers as the
court making such appointment may confer) full power to collect all such income
and, after paying all necessary expenses of such receivership and of operation,
maintenance and repair of said Property, to apply the balance to the payment of
any of the Indebtedness then due.

FORECLOSURE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid
Indebtedness shall, at the option of Beneficiary (to be exercised at any time
that said Event of Default continues to exist), become immediately due and
payable for all purposes without any notice or demand, except as required by law
(ALL OTHER NOTICE OF THE EXERCISE OF SUCH OPTION BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED),
and Beneficiary may, in addition to exercising any rights it may have with
respect to the Personal Property under the Uniform Commercial Code of the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located, institute proceedings in any
court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage, or
to enforce any of the covenants hereof, or Trustee or Beneficiary may, either
personally or by agent or attorney in fact, enter upon and take possession of
the Property and may manage, rent or lease the Property or any portion thereof
upon such terms as Beneficiary may deem expedient, and collect, receive and
receipt for all rentals and other

                                       12

<PAGE>

income therefrom and apply the sums so received as hereinafter provided in case
of sale. Trustee is hereby further authorized and empowered, either after or
without such entry, to sell and dispose of the Property en masse or in separate
parcels (as Trustee may think best), and all the right, title and interest of
Grantor, by advertisement or in any manner provided by the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located (GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO A HEARING PRIOR TO SUCH SALE), and to issue, execute and deliver a
deed of conveyance, all as then may be provided by law; and Trustee shall, out
of the proceeds or avails of such sale, after first paying and retaining all
fees, charges, costs of advertising the Property and of making said sale, and
attorney's fees as herein provided, pay to Beneficiary or the legal holder of
the Indebtedness the amount thereof, including all sums advanced or expended by
Beneficiary or the legal holder of the Indebtedness, with interest from date of
advance or expenditure at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), rendering
the excess, if any, as provided by law; such sale or sales and said deed or
deeds so made shall be a perpetual bar, both in law and equity, against Grantor
and the heirs, successors and assigns of Grantor, and all other persons claiming
the Property aforesaid, or any part thereof by, from, through or under Grantor.
The legal holder of the Indebtedness may purchase the Property or any part
thereof, and it shall not be obligatory upon the purchasers at any such sale to
see to the application of the purchase money.

      In addition to the above remedies, it is agreed that upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option (to be exercised at any
time that said Event of Default continues to exist), without demand or notice,
request the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be, and is hereby authorized and
empowered to proceed with foreclosure and sale of the Property by advertisement
or in any manner provided by the laws of the state in which the Property is
located in satisfaction of the item in default as if under a full foreclosure,
but without declaring the unmatured portion of the Indebtedness due; such sale
shall be made subject to the unmatured portion of the Indebtedness and it is
agreed that such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured portion of
the Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured portion, this instrument shall remain
in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made under the
provisions of this paragraph and it is further agreed that several sales may be
made without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured portion of the
Indebtedness or for any future breach of the covenants, conditions or
stipulations set out herein.

APPRAISEMENT, STAY AND REDEMPTION LAWS. Grantor expressly waives and
relinquishes the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be
enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any of the Property,
commonly known as Appraisement Laws, and also the benefit of all laws that may
hereafter be enacted in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the
collection of the Indebtedness, or creating or extending a period for redemption
from any sale made to collect the Indebtedness, commonly known as Stay Laws and
Redemption Laws.

CROSS-DEFAULT; ANTIMARSHALLING. In the event there shall be a default under that
certain Southfield First Mortgage and Security Agreement (the "Southfield First
Lien

                                       13

<PAGE>

Instrument") of even date herewith executed by the LLC Borrower and granting a
first lien on certain property in the County of Oakland, State of Michigan (the
"Southfield Property") to Beneficiary or that certain Devonshire First Open-End
Mortgage and Security Agreement (the "Devonshire First Lien Instrument") of even
date herewith executed by LLC Borrower and granting a first lien on certain
property in the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the
"Devonshire Property") to Beneficiary, such default shall constitute a default
under this instrument and Beneficiary, at its option after such default becomes
an Event of Default, may declare the Indebtedness due and collectible at once,
and may exercise or cause to be exercised, all of its rights and remedies under
this instrument, the Southfield First Lien Instrument, and the Devonshire First
Lien Instrument, concurrently or separately and in such order as Beneficiary may
determine.

In the event there shall be any Event of Default under this instrument,
Beneficiary may institute (i) a joint proceeding with respect to this
instrument, the Southfield First Lien Instrument, and the Devonshire First Lien
Instrument or (ii) separate proceedings with respect to each lien instrument.
Said separate proceedings may be instituted simultaneously or in such order and
at such times as Beneficiary may elect and no such election shall waive any
right of Beneficiary to subsequently enforce any such lien instrument in the
same or any other proceedings. The pendency of any proceedings with respect to
any lien instrument shall not be grounds for the abatement or for hindering,
delaying or preventing any proceedings with respect to any other lien
instrument. An Event of Default under each lien instrument shall constitute a
separate cause of action, and the institution of proceedings upon one or two,
but not all three, shall not be construed as a splitting or waiver of a cause by
Beneficiary. Grantor, on behalf of itself and any transferee of the Property,
hereby waives any right which it may have to require Beneficiary, and
Beneficiary shall not be required, to marshall assets or to proceed against any
one property secured by said lien instruments prior to or contemporaneously with
proceeding against any other property secured by said lien instruments, or to
proceed against the property upon which a lien is placed by any one lien
instrument prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding against a property upon
which a lien is placed by any other lien instrument.

Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the foregoing cross default provisions
are a material part of the consideration given to Beneficiary as an inducement
to make the loans evidenced by the Note and that certain Promissory Note
executed by Grantor in favor of Beneficiary, (b) Grantor and the LLC Borrower
are affiliates and each has received valuable consideration as a result of
Beneficiary agreeing to make said loans, and (c) the structure of said loans
including multiple notes and mortgages and the cross default provisions are
agreed to by Grantor as an inducement to Beneficiary to make the loans at the
amounts and the interest rate provided therein.

PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER. The present ownership and management of the Property is
a material consideration to Beneficiary in making the loan secured by this
instrument, and Grantor shall not (i) convey title to all or any part of the
Property, (ii) enter into any

                                       14

<PAGE>

contract to convey (land contract/installment sales contract/contract for deed)
title to all or any part of the Property which gives a purchaser possession of,
or income from, the Property prior to a transfer of title to all or any part of
the Property ("Contract to Convey") or (iii) cause or permit a Change in the
Proportionate Ownership (as hereinafter defined) of Grantor. Any such
conveyance, entering into a Contract to Convey or Change in the Proportionate
Ownership of Grantor shall constitute a default under the terms of this
instrument.

      For purposes of this instrument, a "Change in the Proportionate Ownership"
means in the case of a corporation, a change in, or the existence of a lien on,
the ownership of the voting stock of such corporation; in the case of a trust, a
change in, or the existence of a lien on, the beneficial ownership of such
trust; in the case of a limited liability company, a change in the ownership of,
or the existence of a lien on, the limited liability company interests of such
limited liability company; in the case of a partnership, a change in the
ownership of, or the existence of a lien on, the partnership interests of such
partnership, or any change in the direct and indirect ownership interests of
Grantor such that Principal no longer continues to own, directly or indirectly,
free and clear of any security interest, a 100% interest in Grantor or no longer
has a controlling interest in Grantor.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer of the direct and indirect
ownership interests in Grantor shall be permitted if and only if the following
is true immediately after such transfer: (a) Principal continues to own,
directly or indirectly, free and clear of any security interest, a 100% interest
in Grantor; and (b) Principal has a controlling interest in Grantor; provided
that if at any time thereafter clauses (a) and (b) above do not continue to be
true, a change in the proportionate ownership of Grantor shall be deemed to have
taken place in violation of this provision. For purposes hereof, the
"controlling interest" shall mean the possession by any person, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of another entity, whether through ownership interest, by contract or
otherwise.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Grantor agrees to furnish to Beneficiary:

(A) the following financial statements for the Property within 90 days after the
close of each fiscal year of the Grantor (the "Property Financial Statements Due
Date"):

      (i)   an audited balance sheet as of the last day of such fiscal year; and

      (ii)  an audited statement of operations for such fiscal year with a
            detailed line item break-down of all sources of income and expenses,
            including capital expenses broken down between leasing commissions,
            tenant improvements, capital maintenance, common area renovation,
            and expansion; and if the audited statement is not detailed, an
            unaudited statement with sufficient detail will also be required;
            and

                                       15

<PAGE>

      (iii) a current rent roll identifying location, leased area, lease begin
            and end dates, current contract rent, rent increases and increase
            dates, percentage rent, expense reimbursements, and any other
            recovery items; and

      (iv)  a sales report for such fiscal year identifying monthly and yearly
            sales by all tenants required under their leases to report sales;
            and

      (v)   an operating budget for the current fiscal year; and

      (vi)  an audited statement of cash flows for such fiscal year; and

(B) the following financial statements for Principal within 90 days after the
close of each fiscal year of Principal (the "Principal Financial Statements Due
Date")

      (i)   an audited balance sheet as of the last day of such fiscal year; and

      (ii)  an audited statement of cash flows for such fiscal year.

      The Property Financial Statements Due Date and the Principal Financial
Statements Due Date are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Financial
Statements Due Date".

      The audited financial statements identified in sections (A)(i), (A)(ii),
(B)(i) and (B)(ii) above shall each be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles by Ernst & Young, LLP. All unaudited statements
shall contain a certification by a senior officer of the general partner of
Grantor stating that they have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and that they are true and correct. The expense
of preparing all of the financial statements required in (A) and (B) above,
shall be borne by Grantor.

      Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary requires the financial statements to
record accurately the value of the Property for financial and regulatory
reporting.

      In addition to all other remedies available to Beneficiary hereunder, at
law and in equity, if any financial statement or proof of payment of property
taxes and assessments is not furnished to Beneficiary as required in this
section entitled "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" and in the section entitled "TAXES AND
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS", within 30 days after Beneficiary shall have given written
notice to Grantor that it has not been received as required,

      (x) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness shall as
      of the applicable Financial Statements Due Date or the date such proof of
      payment of property taxes and assessments was due, accrue and become
      payable at a rate equal

                                       16

<PAGE>

      to the sum of the Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) plus one percent
      (1%) per annum (the "Increased Rate"); and

      (y) Beneficiary may elect to obtain an independent appraisal and audit of
      the Property at Grantor's expense, and Grantor agrees that it will, upon
      request, promptly make Grantor's books and records regarding the Property
      available to Beneficiary and the person(s) performing the appraisal and
      audit (which obligation Grantor agrees can be specifically enforced by
      Beneficiary).

      The amount of the payments due under the Note during the time in which the
Increased Rate shall be in effect shall be increased to reflect the higher
interest rate. Interest shall continue to accrue and be due and payable monthly
at the Increased Rate until the financial statements and proof of payment of
property taxes and assessments (as requested by Beneficiary) shall be furnished
to Beneficiary as required. Commencing on the date on which the financial
statements and proof of payment of property taxes and assessments are received
by Beneficiary, interest on the unpaid principal balance shall again accrue at
the Interest Rate and the payments due during the remainder of the term of the
Note shall be reduced to reflect the lower interest rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Beneficiary shall have the right to conduct an independent audit at
its own expense at any time.

COMPLIANCE WITH WATER REGULATIONS. Grantor agrees to abide by all the statutes
of the state in which the Property is located and the rules and regulations of
any and all federal, state and local authority having jurisdiction over the use
and distribution of water or water resources, and shall not transfer, sell,
assign or relinquish the water rights now held or hereafter acquired covering
the Property without the written consent of the Beneficiary.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. The management company shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary
during the term of the Note. Beneficiary hereby acknowledges that BLC of
Texas-II, L.P. shall be deemed satisfactory to Beneficiary. The Management and
Operating Agreement for the Property shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary. The
termination of, or a material modification to, the Management and Operating
Agreement for the Property without Beneficiary's prior written consent shall be
a default under this instrument. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Management and Operating Agreement for the Property shall contain
the following provisions:

      (i)   Prohibition of contracts with affiliates of Principal, without the
            prior written approval of Beneficiary.

      (ii)  No assignment of the management agreement by the manager, except to
            an entity with Principal as the majority owner; provided, however,
            that such entity must be of the same size and expertise as the prior
            manager; and provided further, however, that such assignment is
            subject to Beneficiary's prior written approval, which approval will
            not be unreasonably withheld.

                                       17

<PAGE>

            Notwithstanding any other language contained herein to the contrary,
            Beneficiary will not unreasonably withhold its written approval to
            an assignment of the management agreement by the manager to a
            wholly-owned subsidiary of Principal.

      (iii) Any third party service contract entered into by the manager shall
            have a term of not more than one (1) year, with a thirty (30) day
            cancellation provision.

      (iv)  Beneficiary may, at its option, require the Grantor to terminate the
            management agreement and contract with a new manager (subject to the
            approval of Beneficiary) for any of the following reasons:

            (a)   Any material enforcement action is brought against the
                  Property.

            (b)   The loss of Mark Schulte as Chairman and Chief Executive
                  Officer of Principal or his incapacity. In the event Mark
                  Schulte is incapacitated or is no longer Chairman and Chief
                  Executive Officer of Principal for any reason, Principal may
                  have up to twelve (12) months after such incapacity of Mark
                  Schulte or failure of Mark Schulte to be Chairman and Chief
                  Executive Officer of Principal to hire or retain a successor
                  (the "Successor Naming Allowed Time"). If either of the
                  following occurs: (i) a successor is not timely named by
                  Principal within the Successor Naming Allowed Time; or (ii)
                  Beneficiary fails to approve the named successor within a
                  ninety (90) day period following the hiring of such successor,
                  which approval or disapproval shall be in Beneficiary's sole
                  discretion, and Beneficiary gives written notice of its
                  requirement that the Grantor terminate the management
                  agreement within said ninety (90) day period, Grantor shall be
                  required to terminate the management agreement.

            (c)   Any wasting of the Property.

            (d)   Any default under the management agreement or either of the
                  Management and Operating Agreements executed with respect to
                  the Southfield Property and the Devonshire Property pursuant
                  to the terms thereof.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL FOR FUTURE FINANCING INVOLVING THE PROPERTY. Beneficiary
shall have the right of first refusal for any future mortgage loan,
purchase/lease or other financing transaction involving the Property to be
obtained by or for the benefit of Grantor or any person or entity controlled by,
related to or associated with Grantor.

                                       18

<PAGE>

      In the event Grantor submits to Beneficiary a proposal seeking financing
together with sufficient documentation (of the type customarily provided to
financial institutions in such circumstances) to permit evaluation and
underwriting, the proposal shall be submitted to Beneficiary at its Chicago Real
Estate Investment Office. Beneficiary shall have thirty (30) days after receipt
by Beneficiary of said proposal to notify Grantor of its desire to recommend to
Beneficiary's Home Office that Beneficiary provide financing on similar terms.
If Beneficiary's Regional Office so notifies Grantor within such 30-day period,
Beneficiary shall have an additional 30 days to obtain Finance Committee
approval. If approval is not obtained or Borrower is not notified in writing
within the time periods specified in this condition, then Borrower shall be
permitted to seek financing from other lending institutions, subject to the two
immediately succeeding paragraphs.

      In the event Grantor receives a bona fide offer of financing from another
lending institution, Grantor shall submit to Beneficiary a copy of a bona fide
offer of financing from another lending institution which describes (a) the loan
amount, (b) term, (c) security, (d) interest rate, (e) frequency of payments,
(f) prepayment terms and (g) loan fees, together with sufficient information
about the proposed development to permit evaluation and underwriting, the
proposal shall be submitted to Beneficiary at its Chicago Real Estate Investment
Office. Beneficiary shall have thirty (30) days after receipt by Beneficiary of
said bona fide offer to notify Grantor of its desire to recommend to
Beneficiary's Home Office that Beneficiary provide financing on similar terms.
If Beneficiary's Regional Office so notifies Grantor within such 30-day period,
Beneficiary shall have an additional 30 days to obtain Finance Committee
approval. If approval is not obtained or Borrower is not notified in writing
within the time periods specified in this condition, then Borrower shall be
released from this provision as to that particular bona fide offer only.

      If Grantor accepts any financing, Grantor agrees to accept any financing
offered by Beneficiary pursuant to its right of first refusal provided that
Beneficiary's financing offered is on competitive terms with commitments or
offers received from other sources for the same financing. Beneficiary's refusal
to offer the financing requested shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
Beneficiary of its right of first refusal to finance the same Property if
Grantor is unsuccessful in procuring from another source that financing which
was previously offered to and refused by Beneficiary. Regardless of whether a
bona fide offer brought to Beneficiary for financing involves just one of the
Property, the Devonshire Property, or the Southfield Property, a combination of
two of them, or all three of them, Beneficiary's right of first refusal shall
only be with respect to the particular combination or property involved in the
offer brought to it by Grantor, and Beneficiary shall not have a right of first
refusal for a different combination or a different property.

DEPOSITS BY GRANTOR. To assure the timely payment of real estate taxes and
special assessments (including personal property taxes, if appropriate), upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall thence forth have the
option to require Grantor to deposit funds with Beneficiary, in monthly or other
periodic installments in amounts

                                       19

<PAGE>

estimated by Beneficiary from time to time sufficient to pay real estate taxes
and special assessments as they become due. If at any time the funds so held by
Beneficiary shall be insufficient to pay any of said expenses, Grantor shall,
upon receipt of notice thereof, immediately deposit such additional funds as may
be necessary to remove the deficiency. All funds so deposited shall be
irrevocably appropriated to Beneficiary to be applied to the payment of such
real estate taxes and special assessments and, at the option of Beneficiary
after default, the Indebtedness.

NOTICES. Any notices, demands, requests and consents permitted or required
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing, may be delivered

MODIFICATION OF TERMS. Without affecting the liability of Grantor or any other
person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of the
Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation contained herein and without
affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly
released in writing, Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time, either
before or after the maturity of the Note, without notice or consent: (i) release
any person liable for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for
performance of any obligation; (ii) make any agreement extending the time or
otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness,
or modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise
dealing with the lien or charge hereof; (iii) exercise or refrain from
exercising or waive any right Beneficiary may have; (iv) accept additional

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Whenever, by the terms of this instrument, of the Note or
any of the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary is given any option, such option
may be exercised when the right accrues, or at any time thereafter, and no
acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of Indebtedness in default shall constitute
a waiver of any default then existing and continuing or thereafter occurring.

NATURE AND SUCCESSION OF AGREEMENTS. Each of the provisions, covenants and
agreements contained herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on,
the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, grantees, and assigns of the
parties hereto, respectively, and the term "Beneficiary" shall include the owner
and holder of the Note.

LEGAL ENFORCEABILITY. No provision of this instrument, the Note or any other
Loan Documents shall require the payment of interest or other obligation in
excess of the maximum permitted by law. If any such excess payment is provided
for in any Loan Documents or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, the
provisions of this paragraph shall govern and Grantor shall not be obligated to
pay the amount of such interest or other obligation to the extent that it is in
excess of the amount permitted by law.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the
contrary, the personal liability of Grantor shall be limited as provided in the
Note.

MISCELLANEOUS. Time is of the essence in each of the Loan Documents. The
remedies of Beneficiary as provided herein or in any other Loan Document or at
law or in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly,
successively, or together at the sole discretion of Beneficiary, and may be
exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and neither the failure to
exercise any such right or remedy nor any acceptance by Beneficiary of payment
of Indebtedness in default shall in any event be construed as a waiver or
release of any right or remedy. Neither this instrument nor any other Loan
Document may be modified or terminated orally but only by agreement or discharge
in writing and signed by Grantor and Beneficiary. If any of the provisions of
any Loan Document or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances
shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such Loan
Document and each of the other Loan Documents, and the application of such
provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom
or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and
every provision of each of the Loan Documents shall be valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Grantor hereby waives any right to trial by jury with
respect to any action or proceeding (a) brought by Grantor, Beneficiary or any
other person relating to (i) the obligations secured hereby and/or any
understandings or prior dealings between the parties hereto or (ii) the Loan
Documents or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, or (b) to which Beneficiary
is a party.
