Section 2.1  Loans

     (a) Amount. Lender agrees, from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date
described in Section 2.1(d) below and upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth, to make a loan or loans to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of
up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Commitment") (each such loan in
herein referred to as the "Loan," all such loans are herein referred to as
"Loans," and the aggregate amount of all such Loans outstanding from time to
time, the "Loan Amount").

     (b) Borrowings. Borrower authorizes and directs Lender, and Lender agrees,
to make Loans by funding on their due dates construction draws for the Projects
which have been

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4



approved by Lender under the Development Agreements and Lender shall give
Borrower notice of such Loans on a monthly basis which notice shall include the
amount, the Project and the draw involved. In the event that Borrower shall
withdraw such authorization and direction, which it may do in its absolute
discretion by written notice to Lender, Borrower shall elect to borrow pursuant
hereto by giving written notice to the Lender not later than three (3) Business
Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice of borrowing
shall be by telecopy, promptly confirmed by letter, and shall specify therein:
(i) the date of such proposed borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (ii) the
amount of such proposed borrowing which, when aggregated together with all other
outstanding Loans, shall not exceed the Commitment; and (iii) the bank account
or accounts to which the proceeds of such Loan should be paid by Lender.

     (c) Bridge Construction Loan Note. The obligations of Borrower to repay the
Loans shall be evidenced by Borrower's promissory note in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, dated the Closing Date and payable to the order of Lender
for the principal sum of $10,000,000, or such Loan Amount as shall be
outstanding hereunder from time to time, with interest as therein provided.

     (d) Payments. Unless payment of the Loans are accelerated upon occurrence
of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans as to each Project, together with all accrued
interest thereon, shall be due and payable from time to time in the amounts of
and on the dates of receipt by Borrower of proceeds of Key Loans relating to
such Project, with any unpaid principal and accrued interest due and payable in
full on or before the 120th day following issuance of the certificate of
occupancy for the last Project to be completed (the "Maturity Date"). Borrower
authorizes and directs Lender, and Lender agrees, to immediately apply such
proceeds from the Key Loans over which Lender has authority as Borrower's agent
or otherwise to the repayment of the Loans and Lender shall promptly give
Borrower notice of each such repayment which notice shall include the amount,
the Project and the draw involved. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, no amount shall be due and payable on the Loans or under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent and during such time or
times as such payment by Borrower is prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement.
However, if the prohibition is not due to the default of the Lender under the
Guaranty or to the breach of the Lender under any Management Agreement or
Development Agreement, then such amounts due and payable but prohibited by such
Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed paid on the date due with proceeds of,
and shall be deemed advances under the Convertible Subordinated Loan Agreement
dated the date of this Agreement between the Lender and the Borrower.

     (e) Interest Rate. The Loans shall bear interest, compounded quarterly from
and after the date of this Agreement, during the period from and including the
date of funding to (but not including) the date the Loans are paid in full, at
the per annum rate set forth in the Note.

Section 2.2  Prepayment.

     The principal amount of the Loans may be repaid or prepaid in full or in
part at any time prior to the date payments of principal are due, without
premium or penalty.

Section 2.3  Manner of Payment.

     (a) Each payment (including prepayments) by Borrower on account of the
principal or interest on the Loans shall be made on the dates specified for
payment under this Agreement (or, as to prepayments, any date specified by the
Borrower) to the Lender in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds.

     (b) If any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon
a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day
which is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.

     (c) Amounts received by Lender with respect to Loans shall be applied in
the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of all amounts then due and
payable under this Agreement other than interest or principal; (ii) to the
payment of interest then due and payable on the Loan; and (iii) to the repayment
or prepayment of the principal balance of the Loans.

Section 2.4  Basis of Calculation of Interest.

     All interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the
360/365 method, which computes a daily amount of interest for a hypothetical
year of 360 days, then multiplies such amount by the actual number of days
elapsed in an interest calculation period.

Section 2.5  Maximum Interest Rate.

     In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable under the Note
exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event
that any such payment is inadvertently paid by Borrower or inadvertently
received by Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal, unless Borrower shall notify Lender, in writing, that Borrower elects
to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent
hereof that Borrower not pay, and that Lender not receive, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which would
lawfully be paid by Borrower under applicable law.

or right, and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender, shall operate as
a waiver of such power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other power or right. Remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies which may be available to the Lender at law or in
equity. No notice to or demand on the Borrower required hereunder or under the
Note shall in any event entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of
Lender to any other or further action and any circumstances without notice or
demand. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any
provision of this Agreement or the Note shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the party affected by

of this Agreement or the Note, and any consent to any departure by Borrower from
the terms of any provision of this Agreement or the Note, shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
