                  In  consideration  of such additional loan by Mortgagee to Fee

secure  the New Note and  thereby  increase  the  amount  secured by the Deed To
Secure Debt, all in the manner hereinafter set forth.

good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged,  the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

                  1. The Deed To Secure Debt is  modified  as follows:  The term
"Note" shall mean, collectively, the Original Note and the New Note, as the same
may hereafter be amended,  modified,  extended,  severed,  assigned,  renewed or
restated, from time to time and the term "Mortgage Amount" shall mean the sum of
Sixteen Million One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($16,001,250).
Accordingly, the Deed To Secure Debt shall secure the amount of $16,001,250.

                  2.  Mortgagor  warrants  and  represents  that  there  are  no
defenses,  offsets or  counterclaims  with respect to its obligations  under the
Deed To Secure Debt, as modified  hereby,  including,  without  limitation,  its
obligation for the payment of the Note.

                  3. Except as modified in the manner set forth above,  the Deed
To Secure Debt shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

                  4.  This   Agreement   may  be   executed  in  any  number  of
counterparts,  all of which taken  together  shall  constitute  one and the same
instrument,  and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
