hereof, Lender advises Borrower that, to Lender's actual knowledge, no monetary
default under the Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing as of the date

     16. BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER, NEW GP AND LESSEE. Borrower covenants and

Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., the "Code"), (ii) file or be the
                                       ------        ----
subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,

<PAGE>

party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal
or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors,
Lender shall thereupon be entitled, and Borrower irrevocably consents, to the
entry of an order by a bankruptcy court granting to Lender relief from any
automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Code, or otherwise, on or against
the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as
provided in the Loan Documents, this Agreement, the Additional Documents or as
otherwise provided by law or in equity, and Borrower irrevocably waives its
right to object to, attempt to enjoin or otherwise interfere with such relief
and the exercise and enforcement by Lender of its rights and remedies following
entry of such order. Without limiting the generality of the immediately
preceding sentence, Borrower agrees that Lender will be entitled to and it
consents to immediate relief from the automatic stay imposed by the Code to
allow Lender to take any and all actions necessary, desirable or appropriate to
enforce any rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or the Additional
Documents, including, but not limited to, the right to possession of the
Property, collection of rents, and/or the commencement or continuation of an
action to foreclose Lender's liens and security interests. Borrower further
agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code which
postpones, prevents, delays or otherwise hinders Lender's efforts to collect the
amounts due under the Note or to liquidate any of the collateral therefor shall
be deemed to have been filed in bad faith and, therefore, shall be subject to
prompt dismissal or conversion to a liquidation case under the Code upon motion
therefor by Lender. Further, Borrower agrees that it will not seek, apply for or
cause the entry of any order enjoining, staying, or otherwise prohibiting or
interfering with Lender's obtaining an order granting relief from the automatic

consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver,
conservator, or liquidator, or (iv) be the subject of any order, judgment, or
decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed
against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or
future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief
for debtors, Lender shall thereupon be entitled, and New GP irrevocably
consents, to the entry of an order by a bankruptcy court granting to Lender
relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Code, or otherwise,
on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to
Lender as provided in the Loan Documents, this Agreement, the Additional
Documents or as otherwise provided by law or in equity, and New GP irrevocably
waives its right to object to, attempt to enjoin or otherwise interfere with
such relief and the exercise and enforcement by Lender of its rights and
remedies following entry of such order. Without limiting the generality of the
immediately preceding sentence, New GP agrees that Lender will be entitled to
and it hereby consents to immediate relief from the automatic stay imposed by
the Code to allow Lender to take any and all actions necessary, desirable or
appropriate to enforce any rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or

agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code which
postpones, prevents, delays or otherwise hinders Lender's efforts to collect the

under the Loan Documents and/or the Additional Documents.

     17. COMPLIANCE WITH INTEREST LAW. It is the intention of the parties hereto
         ----------------------------
to conform strictly to any present or future law which has application to the
interest and other charges under the Loan Documents (the "Interest Law").
                                                          ------------
Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the
parties hereto agree that the aggregate amount of all interest or other charges
taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under the Loan Documents or
otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law. If any excess interest
is provided for in the Loan Documents, then any such excess shall be deemed a
mistake and canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited
against the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Document (the
"Indebtedness") (or if the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, refunded
 ------------
by Lender), and the effective rate of interest under the Loan Documents shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum effective contract rate of interest that
Lender may from time to time legally charge under the then applicable Interest
Law with respect to the Loan. To the extent permitted by the applicable Interest
Law, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or
detention of the Indebtedness shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term of the Loan.

     18. FURTHER ASSURANCES AND POST CLOSING OBLIGATIONS. The parties hereto
         -----------------------------------------------
agree to do any act or execute any additional documents required by Lender, from
time to time, to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or to better assure,
convey, assign, transfer, perfect or confirm unto Lender the property and rights
intended to be given it in the Loan Documents and the Additional Documents. In
furtherance of and without limiting or diminishing anything in the foregoing,
Borrower and New GP covenant and agree that Borrower shall deliver to Lender on
or before April 29, 2002 evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lender (a) that New GP is qualified to do business in California, Colorado,
Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio, (b)

that Lessee is qualified to do business in Illinois and Ohio, (c) that AHM Res I
GP, Inc. (the general partner of lessee) is qualified to do business in Illinois
and Ohio, and (d) that appropriate required documentation has been filed in
Delaware, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio
evidencing that New GP is the new general partner of Borrower (collectively, the
"Post Closing Items"). Borrower and New GP acknowledge that following Lender's
receipt and review of each of the Post Closing Items, Lender may reasonably
require the delivery of additional documentation, information or revisions to
the Loan Documents to address matters raised thereby and Borrower and New GP
acknowledge and agree that the requirements of this paragraph shall not be
deemed satisfied until all of the Post Closing Items, and all of such additional
documentation, information or other matters or Loan Document revisions as Lender
may require following receipt thereof, are delivered to Lender and approved by
Lender. Borrower and New GP further acknowledge and agree that the failure to
comply with the terms of this paragraph on or before April 29, 2002 shall
constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and, in such event, at its option, Lender (or Midland Loan Services,
Inc., its servicer) shall have the option of causing the Loan to immediately
become a specially serviced loan (or loan requiring special servicing or similar
concept) under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referenced in recital
paragraph C above. Further, Borrower and New GP acknowledge and agree that
Borrower shall remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender
in connection with the satisfaction of the Post Closing Items.

     19. LIABILITY. If any party hereto consists of more than one person, the
         ---------
obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and
several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns forever.

     20. SEVERABILITY. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is
         ------------
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement
shall be construed without such term, covenant or condition and the validity or
enforceability of the remaining terms, covenants or conditions shall not in any
way be affected.

     21. APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed and
         ----------------------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (other than those
conflicts of laws provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another
jurisdiction). Without in any way limiting the preceding choice of law, the
parties elect to be governed by New York law in accordance with, and are relying
(at least in part) on, Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the
State of New York. The parties hereto submit to personal jurisdiction in the
state courts located in said state and the federal courts of the United States
of America located in said state for the enforcement of any obligations
hereunder and waive any and all personal rights under the law of any other state
to object to jurisdiction within such state for the purposes of any action,
suit, proceeding or litigation to enforce such obligations.

     22. NO RESTRICTIONS ON PERFORMANCE. The execution and delivery of this
         ------------------------------
Agreement and compliance with the provisions hereof, will not conflict with, or
constitute a breach of or a default under any agreement or other instrument to
which any party hereto is a party or by which it is bound.

     23. DEFINITIONS. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or
         -----------
unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Agreement
(including pronouns) shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of such words shall include the plural and
vice versa. The words "included", "includes" and "including" shall each be
deemed to be followed by the phrase, "without limitation." The words "herein",
"hereby", "hereof", and "hereunder" shall each be deemed to refer to this entire
Agreement and not to any particular paragraph, article or section hereof. Not
withstanding the foregoing, if any law is amended so as to broaden the meaning
of any term defined in such law, such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to
the effective date of such amendment. Where a defined term derives its meaning
from a statutory reference, any regulatory definition is broader than the
statutory reference and any reference or citation to a statute or regulation
shall be deemed to include any amendments to that statue or regulation and
judicial and administrative interpretations of it.

term is to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender's decision to approve or disapprove
or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory

conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided
herein.

     27. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this

Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as

     28. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         ------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which

     29. INTEGRATION, SURVIVAL. This Agreement, the Additional Documents, and
