     FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the undersigned,  APPLE SUITES SPE I, INC., a Virginia
corporation,  ("Maker"),  having an address at 9 North Third  Street,  Richmond,

28288-0166,  or at such other place as Payee may  designate  to Maker in writing
from time to time,  the principal  sum of Two Million Five Hundred  Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00),  together with interest on so much thereof as is
from time to time  outstanding  and unpaid,  from the date of the advance of the
principal  evidenced  hereby,  at the rate of nine  percent  (9%) per annum (the
"Note  Rate"),  together with all other amounts due hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (as defined in the Security  Instrument),  in lawful money of the
United States of America,  which shall at the time of payment be legal tender in
payment of all debts and dues, public and private.

                        ARTICLE I. - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1.1. Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed hereunder based on
a 360-day  year and based on the actual  number of days elapsed for any month in
which interest is being calculated. Interest shall accrue from the date on which
funds  are  advanced  hereunder  (regardless  of the  time of day)  through  and
including the day on which funds are credited pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof.

     1.2.  Payment  of  Principal  and  Interest.   Payments  in  federal  funds
immediately  available  at the place  designated  for payment  received by Payee
prior to 2:00 p.m.  local time at said place of payment on a business  day shall
be credited prior to close of business,  while other payments,  at the option of
Payee, may not be credited until immediately available to Payee in federal funds
at the place  designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place
of payment on a business  day.  The term  "business  day" when used herein shall
mean a weekday,  Monday through Friday, except a legal holiday or a day on which
banking  institutions  in New York, New York are authorized by law to be closed.
Such  principal  and  interest  shall be  payable in equal  consecutive  monthly
installments of $20,979.91  each,  beginning on the first day of the second full
calendar month following the date of this Note (or on the first day of the first
full calendar month  following the date hereof,  in the event the advance of the
principal  amount  evidenced by this Note is the first day of a calendar  month)
(the "First  Payment  Date"),  and continuing on the first day of each and every
calendar  month  thereafter  through and  including  September 1, 2010 (each,  a
"Payment  Date").  On  October  1,  2010  (the  "Maturity  Date"),   the  entire
outstanding  principal  balance  hereof,  together  with all  accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full.


<PAGE>

     1.3.  Application  of  Payments.  So  long  as  no  Event  of  Default  (as
hereinafter  defined)  exists  hereunder or under any other Loan Document,  each
such  monthly  installment  shall be applied  first,  to any  amounts  hereafter
advanced by Payee  hereunder or under any other Loan  Document,  second,  to any
late fees and other amounts  payable to Payee,  third, to the payment of accrued
interest and last to reduction of principal.

     1.4.  Payment of "Short  Interest".  If the advance of the principal amount
evidenced  by this Note is made on a date other than the first day of a calendar
month,  Maker shall pay to Payee  contemporaneously  with the  execution  hereof
interest  at the Note  Rate  for a period  from  the  date  hereof  through  and
including the last day of this calendar month.

     1.5. Prepayment; Defeasance.

          (a) This  Note may not be  prepaid,  in  whole or in part  (except  as
otherwise  specifically  provided herein),  at any time. In the event that Maker
wishes to have the Security Property (as hereinafter  defined) released from the
lien of the Security  Instrument (as hereinafter  defined),  Maker's sole option
shall be a Defeasance (as  hereinafter  defined) upon  satisfaction of the terms
and conditions  set forth in Section 1.5(d) hereof.  This Note may be prepaid in
whole but not in part without  premium or penalty on any Payment Date  occurring
within three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date  provided (i) written  notice
of such  prepayment  is received by Payee not more than ninety (90) days and not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such  prepayment,  and (ii) such
prepayment  is  accompanied  by  all  interest  accrued  hereunder  through  and
including the date of such  prepayment and all other sums due hereunder or under
the other Loan  Documents.  If, upon any such permitted  prepayment on a Payment
Date occurring within three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, the aforesaid
prior written notice has not been timely received by Payee, there shall be due a
prepayment  fee equal to, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days'
interest computed at the Note Rate on the outstanding  principal balance of this
Note so prepaid and (ii) interest  computed at the Note Rate on the  outstanding
principal  balance of this Note so prepaid  that would have been payable for the
period from, and including,  the date of prepayment through the Maturity Date of
this Note as though such prepayment had not occurred.

          (b) If,  prior to the date which is two (2) years  after the  "startup
day," within the meaning of Section 860G(a) (9) of the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986, as amended from time to time or any successor  statute (the "Code"),  of a
"real estate  mortgage  investment  conduit" (a "REMIC"),  within the meaning of
Section 860D of the Code, that holds this Note (the "Lockout  Expiration Date"),
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall have been declared due and payable
by Payee  pursuant  to  Article  II hereof or the  provisions  of any other Loan
Document due to the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Security
Instrument) by Maker,  then, in addition to the  indebtedness  evidenced by this
Note being immediately due and payable, there shall also then be immediately due
and  payable  a sum  equal to the  interest  which  would  have  accrued  on the
principal  balance  of  this  Note  at the  Note  Rate  from  the  date  of such
acceleration to the Lock-out  Expiration Date, together with a prepayment fee in
an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium (as hereinafter  defined) based
on  the  entire  indebtedness  on  the  date  of  such  acceleration.   If  such
acceleration is on or following the


                                       2
<PAGE>

Lock-out  Expiration  Date,  the Yield  Maintenance  Premium  shall also then be
immediately   due  and  payable  as  though  Maker  were  prepaying  the  entire
indebtedness  on the  date of such  acceleration.  In  addition  to the  amounts
described in the two preceding sentences,  in the event of any such acceleration
or tender of payment of such  indebtedness  occurs or is made on or prior to the
first  (1st)  anniversary  of the date of this  Note,  there  shall also then be
immediately  due and payable an additional  prepayment fee of three percent (3%)
of the  principal  balance of this Note.  The term "Yield  Maintenance  Premium"
shall  mean an amount  equal to the  greater  of (A) two  percent  (2.0%) of the
principal  amount  being  prepaid,  and (B) the  present  value of a  series  of
payments each equal to the Payment  Differential  (as  hereinafter  defined) and
payable on each Payment Date over the  remaining  original term of this Note and
on the Maturity  Date,  discounted  at the  Reinvestment  Yield (as  hereinafter
defined) for the number of months remaining as of the date of such prepayment to
each such Payment Date and the Maturity  Date.  The term "Payment  Differential"
shall  mean an amount  equal to (i) the Note Rate less the  Reinvestment  Yield,
divided  by  (ii)  twelve  (12)  and  multiplied  by  (iii)  the  principal  sum
outstanding  under this Note after  application of the constant  monthly payment
due under this Note on the date of such  prepayment,  provided  that the Payment
Differential shall in no event be less than zero. The term "Reinvestment  Yield"
shall mean an amount  equal to the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S.  Treasury
issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the Maturity Date, or (ii)
the yield on the U.S.  Treasury issue  (primary  issue) with a term equal to the
remaining  average life of the  indebtedness  evidenced by this Note,  with each
such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as  published in the Wall
Street  Journal on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the date of such
prepayment  set forth in the notice of prepayment  (or, if such bid price is not
published on that date,  the next  preceding  date on which such bid price is so
published) and converted to a monthly  compounded  nominal  yield.  In the event
that  any  prepayment  fee is due  hereunder,  Payee  shall  deliver  to Maker a
statement setting forth the amount and determination of the prepayment fee, and,
provided  that Payee  shall have in good faith  applied  the  formula  described
above, Maker shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method
of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error,
which  calculation  may be made by Payee on any day during the fifteen  (15) day
period  preceding the date of such  prepayment.  Payee shall not be obligated or
required  to have  actually  reinvested  the  prepaid  principal  balance at the
Reinvestment Yield or otherwise as a condition to receiving the prepayment fee.

          (c) Partial  prepayments  of this Note shall not be permitted,  except
for partial  prepayments  resulting from Payee's  election to apply insurance or
condemnation  proceeds to reduce the outstanding  principal balance of this Note
as provided in the  Security  Instrument,  in which event no  prepayment  fee or
premium  shall be due  unless,  at the time of either  Payee's  receipt  of such
proceeds  or the  application  of such  proceeds  to the  outstanding  principal
balance of this Note, an Event of Default, or an event which, with notice or the
passage of time,  or both,  would  constitute  an Event of  Default,  shall have
occurred,  which  default  or Event of Default is  unrelated  to the  applicable
casualty  or  condemnation,  in which  event the  applicable  prepayment  fee or
premium  shall be due and payable  based upon the amount of the  prepayment.  No
notice of prepayment shall be required under the circumstances  specified in the
preceding  sentence.  No principal  amount  repaid may be  reborrowed.  Any such
partial  prepayments  of  principal  shall be applied  to the  unpaid  principal
balance evidenced hereby but such application shall not reduce the amount of the
fixed monthly installments required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2 above


                                       3
<PAGE>

until all principal is paid in full. Except as otherwise  expressly  provided in
this Section  1.5(c) and in Section 1.5(b) above,  the prepayment  fees provided
above shall be due, to the extent permitted by applicable law, under any and all
circumstances  where  all or any  portion  of this  Note is  paid  prior  to the
Maturity Date,  whether such prepayment is voluntary or involuntary,  including,
without  limitation,  if such  prepayment  results from Payee's  exercise of its
rights upon the occurrence and  continuances of an Event of Default by Maker and
acceleration  of the  Maturity  Date  of  this  Note  (irrespective  of  whether
foreclosure  proceedings have been  commenced),  and shall be in addition to any
other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  No tender of
a prepayment of this Note with respect to which a prepayment fee is due shall be
effective  unless such  prepayment is accompanied  by the applicable  prepayment
fee.

          (d) (i) At any time after the Lockout Expiration Date, and provided no
Event of Default has  occurred and is  continuing  hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents,  at Maker's  option,  Payee shall cause the release of the
Security  Property from the lien of the Security  Instrument  and the other Loan
Documents   specifically   related  to  this  Note  (a  "Defeasance")  upon  the
satisfaction of the following conditions:

              (A) Maker  shall give not more than ninety (90) days' or less than
       sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Payee  specifying the date Maker
       intends for the Defeasance to be consummated (the "Release Date"),  which
       date shall be a Payment Date.

              (B) All accrued and unpaid  interest  and all other sums due under
       this Note and under the other Loan Documents specifically related to this
       Note up to and  including  the  Release  Date shall be paid in full on or
       prior to the Release Date.

              (C) Maker shall deliver to Payee on or prior to the Release Date:

              (1)    a  sum  of  money  in  immediately   available  funds  (the
                     "Defeasance  Deposit") equal to twenty-five  percent (125%)
                     of the outstanding  principal  balance of this Note plus an
                     amount,   if  any,  which  together  with  the  outstanding
                     principal  balance of this  Note,  shall be  sufficient  to
                     enable  Payee  to  purchase,   through  means  and  sources
                     customarily  employed  and  available  to  Payee,  for  the
                     account of Maker, direct,  non-callable  obligations of the
                     United  States of America that provide for payments  prior,
                     but as close as possible, to all successive monthly Payment
                     Dates  occurring after the Release Date and to the Maturity
                     Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater than
                     the amount of the  corresponding  installment  of principal
                     and/or  interest  required  to  be  paid  under  this  Note
                     (including,  but not  limited  to, all  amounts  due on the
                     Maturity  Date) for the  balance  of the term  hereof  (the
                     "Defeasance  Collateral"),  each  of  which  shall  be duly
                     endorsed  by the  holder  thereof as  directed  by Payee or
                     accompanied by a written

                     for the  Security  Property  shall be paid on or before the
                     Release Date.  Without  limiting  Maker's  obligations with

       employed and available to Payee to use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase
       for the  account of Maker the  Defeasance  Collateral.  Furthermore,  the
       Defeasance  Collateral shall be arranged such that payments received from
       such Defeasance  Collateral shall be paid directly to Payee to be applied
       on account of the  indebtedness  of this Note. Any part of the Defeasance
       Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase


                                       6
<PAGE>


       the Defeasance Collateral and to pay the other and related costs Maker is
       obligated to pay under this Section 1.5 shall be refunded to Maker.

              (E) After  giving  effect,  and as a condition  precedent,  to the
       release of the Security  Property from the lien of the Deed of Trust, (x)
       the debt service  coverage  ratio,  as  determined by Payee in connection
       with its customary  underwriting practices and procedures with respect to
       the Other  Mortgaged  Properties (as defined in the Security  Instrument)
       which remain subject to the lien of the  Contemporaneous  Mortgages after
       the release of the Security  Property is not less than the greater of (1)
       the debt service coverage ratio for the Security  Property and all of the
       Other Mortgaged  Properties  immediately  prior to the release or (2) the
       debt  service  coverage  ratio of the  Security  Property  and all  Other
       Mortgaged  Properties at the time of closing of the loan evidenced hereby
       (but in no event less than  1.45:1),  and (y) the loan to value  ratio of
       the  Other   Mortgaged   Properties   which  remain   encumbered  by  the
       Contemporaneous  Mortgages after the release of the Security Property, as
       reasonably  determined by Payee based on an appraisal  prepared by an MAI
       appraiser satisfactory to Payee at Maker's cost (and when determining the
       value, talking into account any limitations in the Security Instrument or
       any  Contemporaneous  Mortgages on the  principal  amount  secured by the
       Security Instrument or any Contemporaneous Mortgage), is not greater than
       60%.

              (ii)  Upon   compliance   with  the   requirements  of  subsection
       1.5(d)(i),  the Security  Property shall be released from the lien of the
       Security  Instrument  and the other Loan  Documents,  including,  without
       limitation the  cross-default and  cross-collateralization  provisions of
       the Contemporaneous  Mortgages and Contemporaneous  Assignments,  and the
       Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure this
       Note  and all  other  obligations  under  the Loan  Documents,  including
       without limitation the Contemporaneous  Notes (as defined in the Security
       Instrument),    the   Contemporaneous   Mortgages   and   Contemporaneous
       Assignments.  Payee  will,  at Maker's  reasonable  expense,  execute and
       deliver any agreements  reasonably requested by Maker to release the lien
       of the Security Instrument from the Security Property.

              (iii) Upon the release of the Security Property in accordance with
       this Section  1.5(d),  Maker shall assign all its  obligations and rights
       under this Note,  together with the pledged Defeasance  Collateral,  to a
       newly created  successor  entity which complies with the terms of Section
       1.33 of the Security Instrument designated by Maker and approved by Payee
       in its sole discretion. Such successor entity shall execute an assumption
       agreement  in form  and  substance  satisfactory  to  Payee  in its  sole
       discretion  pursuant to which it shall assume Maker's  obligations  under
       this Note and the Defeasance  Security  Agreement.  As conditions to such
       assignment and assumption, Maker shall (x) deliver to Payee an opinion of
       counsel in form and substance and  delivered by counsel  satisfactory  to
       Payee in its sole  discretion  stating,  among  other  things,  that such
       assumption  agreement is  enforceable  against  Maker and such  successor
       entity in accordance with its terms and that this Note and the Defeasance
       Security Agreement as so assumed,  are enforceable against such successor
       entity in accordance with their respective terms, and


                                       7
<PAGE>


       (y) pay all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
       legal  fees)  incurred  by Payee or its  agents in  connection  with such
       assignment and assumption (including,  without limitation,  the review of
       the proposed  transferee and the preparation of the assumption  agreement
       and related documentation). Upon such assumption, Maker shall be relieved
       of its obligations  hereunder,  under the other Loan Documents other than
       as  specified  in  Section  1.5(d)(C)(5)  above and under the  Defeasance
       Security Agreement.

              (iv) As consideration  for Payee's  agreement to modify the single
       asset provisions of Section 1.33 of the Security  Instrument,  and permit
       Maker  to own  all of the  Security  Property  and  the  Other  Mortgaged
       Properties,  in the event of a Defeasance in accordance with this Section
       1.5(d),  Maker must convey the Security Property to a different ownership
       entity (with neither the Security Property nor the proposed new ownership
       entity being owned by Maker).

     1.6. Security; Cross-Collateralization.  The indebtedness evidenced by this
Note and the obligations created hereby are secured by, among other things, that
certain  mortgage,  deed of trust or deed to secure debt and security  agreement
(the "Security  Instrument") from Maker for the benefit of Payee,  dated of even
date  herewith,  covering  property  located in Salt Lake County,  Utah, and the
Contemporaneous Mortgages and the Contemporaneous Assignments.  Some of the Loan
Documents  are to be filed  for  record  on or  about  the  date  hereof  in the
appropriate  public  records.  Maker  acknowledges  that Payee has made the loan
evidenced by this Note to Maker upon the security of its collective  interest in
the Security  Property and the Other  Mortgaged  Properties and in reliance upon
the aggregate of the Security Property and the Other Mortgaged  Properties taken
together  being of  greater  value as  collateral  security  than the sum of the
Security Property and Other Mortgaged Properties taken separately.  Maker agrees
that this Note and the Security Instrument are and will be  cross-collateralized
and  cross-defaulted   with  the  Contemporaneous   Notes,  the  Contemporaneous
Mortgages and Contemporaneous Assignments.

                              ARTICLE II. - DEFAULT

     2.1. Events of Default;  Cross-Default.  It is hereby expressly agreed that
should any default  occur in the payment of principal or interest as  stipulated
above  and such  payment  is not made  within  seven  (7) days of the date  such
payment is due  (provided  that no grace  period is provided  for the payment of
principal and interest due on the Maturity  Date),  or should any other Event of
Default occur and be continuing,  the indebtedness  evidenced hereby,  including
all sums advanced or accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all
unpaid  interest  accrued  thereon,  shall,  at the option of Payee and  without
notice to Maker, at once become due and payable and may be collected  forthwith,
whether or not there has been a prior demand for payment and  regardless  of the
stipulated date of maturity.

     2.2. Late  Charges.  In the event that any payment is not received by Payee
within  seven (7) days of the date when due,  then,  in  addition to any default
interest payments due hereunder,  Maker shall also pay to Payee a late charge in
an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such overdue payment.


                                       8
<PAGE>


     2.3.  Default  Interest  Rate.  So  long as any  Event  of  Default  exists
hereunder,  regardless of whether or not there has been an  acceleration  of the
indebtedness   evidenced  hereby,  and  at  all  times  after  maturity  of  the
indebtedness  evidenced hereby (whether by acceleration or otherwise),  interest
shall accrue on the  outstanding  principal  balance of this Note, from the date
due until the date  credited,  at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in
excess of the Note  Rate,  or, if such  increased  rate of  interest  may not be
collected under  applicable  law, then at the maximum rate of interest,  if any,
which may be collected from Maker under  applicable  law (the "Default  Interest
Rate"), and such default interest shall be immediately due and payable.

     2.4.  Maker's  Agreements.  Maker  acknowledges  that it would be extremely
difficult or  impracticable to determine  Payee's actual damages  resulting from
any late  payment or default,  and such late  charges and default  interest  are
reasonable  estimates  of those  damages and do not  constitute  a penalty.  The
remedies of Payee in this Note or in the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity,
shall be cumulative and concurrent,  and may be pursued singly,  successively or
together, in Payee's discretion.

     2.5.  Maker to Pay Costs.  In the event that this Note, or any part hereof,
is collected by or through an attorney-at-law,  Maker agrees to pay all costs of
collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.

     2.6.  Exculpation.  Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Note  or the  Loan
Documents to the contrary,  but subject to the  qualifications  hereinbelow  set
forth, Payee agrees that:

              (a) Maker shall be liable upon the  indebtedness  evidenced hereby
and for the  other  obligations  arising  under the Loan  Documents  to the full
extent  (but  only to the  extent)  of the  security  provided  for in the  Loan
Documents,  the same being all  properties  (whether real or personal),  rights,
estates and interests now or at any time hereafter  securing the payment of this
Note and/or the other obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents  pursuant to
the terms thereof (collectively, the "Security Property");

          (b) if a default occurs in the timely and proper payment of all or any
part  of  such  indebtedness  evidenced  hereby  or in  the  timely  and  proper
performance  of the other  obligations  of Maker under the Loan  Documents,  any
judicial  proceedings  brought by Payee  against  Maker  shall be limited to the
preservation,  enforcement  and  foreclosure,  or any  thereof,  of  the  liens,
security titles, estates,  assignments,  rights and security interests now or at
any  time  hereafter  securing  the  payment  of  this  Note  and/or  the  other
obligations of Maker under the Loan Documents pursuant to the terms thereof, and
no  attachment,  execution or other writ of process  shall be sought,  issued or
levied upon any  assets,  properties  or funds of Maker other than the  Security
Property,  except with respect to the liability described below in this section;
and

          (c) in the event of a  foreclosure  of such  liens,  security  titles,
estates, assignments,  rights or security interests with respect to the Security
Property securing the payment of this Note and/or the other obligations of Maker
under the Loan Documents,  no judgment for any deficiency upon the  indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be sought or obtained by Payee against Maker, except with
respect to the liability  described  below in this section;  provided,  however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, Maker shall be


                                       9
<PAGE>


fully and personally  liable and subject to legal action (i) for  misapplication
or  misappropriation  by Maker of proceeds paid under any insurance policies (or
paid to Maker as a result of any  other  claim or cause of  action  against  any
person or entity) by reason of damage, loss or destruction to all or any portion
of the Security  Property,  to the full extent of such  proceeds not  previously
delivered to Payee,  but which,  under the terms of the Loan  Documents,  should
have been delivered to Payee,  (ii) for  misapplication or  misappropriation  by
Maker of proceeds or awards  resulting from the  condemnation or other taking in
lieu of condemnation of all or any portion of the Security Property, to the full
extent of such proceeds or awards not previously  delivered to Payee, but which,
under the terms of the Loan  Documents,  should  have been  delivered  to Payee,
(iii) for  misapplication  or  misappropriation  by Maker of all tenant security
deposits  or other  refundable  deposits  paid to or held by Maker or any  other
person or entity under the control or direction of Maker,  if any, in connection
with leases of all or any portion of the Security Property which are not applied
in accordance with the terms of the applicable  lease or other  agreement,  (iv)
for misapplication or  misappropriation of rent and other payments received from
tenants  under leases of all or any portion of the Security  Property  paid more
than one (1)  month in  advance,  except  as  otherwise  expressly  provided  or
permitted in the Percentage Lease (as defined in the Security  Instrument),  (v)
for misapplication or  misappropriation by Maker of rents,  issues,  profits and
revenues of all or any portion of the Security Property received by Maker or any
other  person or  entity  under  the  control  or  direction  of Maker  that are
applicable  to a period after the  occurrence  and  continuance  of any Event of
Default or any event which,  with notice or the passage of time, or both,  would
constitute an Event of Default,  hereunder or under the Loan Documents which are
not  either   applied  to  the  ordinary  and  necessary   expenses  or  capital
expenditures  in connection  with owning and operating the Security  Property or
paid to Payee or otherwise as  contemplated  or permitted by the Loan Documents,
(vi) for waste  committed  on the  Security  Property,  damage  to the  Security
Property as a result of the intentional  misconduct or gross negligence of Maker
or any of its  officers,  general  partners  or  members,  as the  case  may be,
Indemnitor (as defined in the Indemnity Agreement (as hereinafter defined)),  or
any agent or employee of any such persons,  or any removal of any portion of the
Security  Property  not  repaired as required by the Loan  Documents  (except as
otherwise  provided in the Percentage  Lease),  in violation of the terms of the
Loan Documents, to the full extent of the losses or damages actually incurred by
Payee on account of such occurrence, (vii) for failure by Maker to pay any valid
taxes, assessments,  mechanic's liens,  materialmen's liens or other liens which
could  create  liens on any  portion of the  Security  Property  which  would be
superior to the lien or security  title of the Security  Instrument or the other
Loan Documents  except,  with respect to any such taxes or  assessments,  to the
extent that funds have been  deposited  with Payee  pursuant to the terms of the
Security Instrument specifically for the applicable taxes or assessments and not
applied by Payee to pay such taxes and  assessments,  (viii) for all obligations
and  indemnities of Maker under Section 1.31 of the Security  Instrument and the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement (as hereinafter defined) relating to hazardous
or  toxic  substances  or  radon  or  compliance  with  environmental  laws  and
regulations,  and (ix) for  fraud,  material  misrepresentation  or  failure  to
disclose a material  fact by Maker or any of its officers,  general  partners or
members,  as the case may be, Indemnitor or any agent,  employee or other person
authorized  to make  statements,  representations  or  disclosures  on behalf of
Maker, any officer,  general partner or member,  as the case may be, of Maker or
Indemnitor,  to the full extent of any losses,  damages  and  expenses  actually
incurred by Payee on account  thereof.  Nothing  contained in this section shall
(1) be deemed to be a release or impairment of the indebtedness evidenced


                                       10
<PAGE>


by this Note or the other  obligations  of Maker under the Loan Documents or the
lien of the Loan  Documents  upon the Security  Property,  or (2) preclude Payee
from  foreclosing  the Loan  Documents  in case of any Event of  Default or from
enforcing any of the other rights of Payee except as stated in this section,  or
(3)  limit or  impair  in any way  whatsoever  (A) the  Indemnity  and  Guaranty
Agreement  (the  "Indemnity  Agreement")  or  (B)  the  Environmental  Indemnity
Agreement (the "Environmental Indemnity Agreement"),  each of even date herewith
executed and delivered in  connection  with the  indebtedness  evidenced by this
Note or release,  relieve,  reduce,  waive or impair in any way whatsoever,  any
obligation  of  any  party  to the  Indemnity  Agreement  or  the  Environmental
Indemnity Agreement.

     Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  in  this  Note,  the  Security
Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Payee shall not be deemed to have
waived any right which Payee may have under Section 506(a),  506(b),  1111(b) or
any other  provisions of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code to file a claim for the full
amount  of  the  indebtedness  evidenced  hereby  or  secured  by  the  Security
Instrument or any of the other Loan  Documents or to require that all collateral
shall  continue to secure all of the  indebtedness  owing to Payee in accordance
with this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

                        ARTICLE III. - GENERAL CONDITIONS

     3.1.  No  Waiver;  Amendment.  No failure to  accelerate  the  indebtedness
evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder, acceptance of a partial or past
due payment,  or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as
a novation  of this Note or as a  reinstatement  of the  indebtedness  evidenced
hereby or as a waiver  of such  right of  acceleration  or of the right of Payee
thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii)
to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted
hereunder  or by any  applicable  laws;  and Maker hereby  expressly  waives the
benefit  of any  statute  or rule of law or equity  now  provided,  or which may
hereafter be provided,  which would produce a result  contrary to or in conflict
with the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
installment  due  hereunder  made by agreement  with any person now or hereafter
liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify,
change or affect the  original  liability  of Maker  under this Note,  either in
whole or in part, unless Payee agrees otherwise in writing. This Note may not be
changed orally,  but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

     3.2.  Waivers.  Presentment  for  payment,  demand,  protest  and notice of
demand, protest and nonpayment and all other notices are hereby waived by Maker.
Maker hereby further waives and  renounces,  to the fullest extent  permitted by
law, all rights to the benefits of any  moratorium,  reinstatement,  marshaling,
forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption and
homestead now or hereafter  provided by the  Constitution and laws of the United
States of America and of each state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all
of its property,  real and personal,  against the  enforcement and collection of
the obligations evidenced by this Note or the other Loan Documents.

     3.3.  Limit of Validity.  The provisions of this Note and of all agreements
between Maker and Payee,  whether now existing or hereafter  arising and whether
written or oral,


                                       11
<PAGE>


including,  but not limited to, the Loan Documents, are hereby expressly limited
so that in no  contingency or event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of demand or
acceleration  of the  maturity  of this  Note or  otherwise,  shall  the  amount
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, paid or agreed to be paid to Payee for
the  use,  forbearance  or  detention  of  the  money  loaned  under  this  Note
("Interest")  exceed the maximum amount  permissible  under  applicable law. If,
from any  circumstance  whatsoever,  performance or fulfillment of any provision
hereof  or of  any  agreement  between  Maker  and  Payee  shall,  at  the  time
performance or fulfillment of such provision  shall be due, exceed the limit for
Interest  prescribed  by  law or  otherwise  transcend  the  limit  of  validity
prescribed by applicable law, then,  ipso facto,  the obligation to be performed
or  fulfilled  shall be reduced to such  limit,  and if,  from any  circumstance
whatsoever,  Payee  shall ever  receive  anything  of value  deemed  Interest by
applicable law in excess of the maximum  lawful  amount,  an amount equal to any
excessive  Interest  shall be applied to the reduction of the principal  balance
owing under this Note in the inverse order of its maturity  (whether or not then
due) or, at the option of Payee,  be paid over to Maker,  and not to the payment
of  Interest.  All Interest  (including  any amounts or payments  judicially  or
otherwise under the law deemed to be Interest)  contracted for, charged,  taken,
reserved,  paid or agreed to be paid to Payee shall, to the extent  permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
term of this Note, including any extensions and renewals hereof until payment in
full of the principal balance of this Note so that the Interest thereon for such
full term will not exceed at any time the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in
effect,  Payee may,  at its option  and from time to time,  implement  any other
method of computing the maximum  lawful rate under the law of the State in which
the Security Property is located or under other applicable law by giving notice,
if required,  to Maker as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
This Section 3.3 will control all agreements between Maker and Payee.

     3.4. Use of Funds. Maker hereby warrants, represents and covenants that the
funds disbursed hereunder shall be used for business purposes.

     3.5.  Unconditional  Payment.  Maker  is  and  shall  be  obligated  to pay
principal, interest and any and all other amounts which become payable hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any
abatement,  postponement,  diminution or deduction and without any reduction for
counterclaim  or setoff.  In the event that at any time any payment  received by
Payee  hereunder  shall be deemed by a court of competent  jurisdiction  to have
been a  voidable  preference  or  fraudulent  conveyance  under any  bankruptcy,
insolvency or other debtor relief law, then the  obligation to make such payment
shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to
Maker and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or
cancellation  of this  Note,  but shall  remain a valid and  binding  obligation
enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment
shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

     3.6. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED,  CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED
ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE SECURITY PROPERTY IS LOCATED.


                                       12
<PAGE>


     3.7.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  MAKER,  TO THE FULL EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY LAW,
HEREBY  KNOWINGLY,  INTENTIONALLY  AND VOLUNTARILY,  WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF
COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  BASED UPON,  ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY
RELATING TO THE DEBT  EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR ANY CONDUCT,  ACT OR OMISSION OF
PAYEE  OR  MAKER,  OR ANY OF THEIR  RESPECTIVE  DIRECTORS,  OFFICERS,  PARTNERS,
MEMBERS,  EMPLOYEES,  AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS,  OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH
PAYEE OR MAKER, IN EACH OR THE FOREGOING  CASES,  WHETHER  SOUNDING IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE.

     3.8.  Secondary  Market.  Payee may sell,  transfer  and  deliver  the Loan
Documents  to  one or  more  investors  in the  secondary  mortgage  market.  In
connection  with such  sale,  Payee may  retain  or  assign  responsibility  for
servicing  the loan  evidenced by this Note or may delegate  some or all of such
responsibility and/or obligations to a servicer,  including, but not limited to,
any subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors.

     3.9. Dissemination of Information. If Payee determines at any time to sell,
transfer  or assign  this  Note,  the  Security  Instrument  and the other  Loan
Documents,  and any or all servicing  rights with respect  thereto,  or to grant
participations  therein (the  "Participations")  or issue mortgage  pass-through
certificates or other securities  evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated  public  offering or private  placement  (the  "Securities"),  Payee may
forward  to  each  purchaser,   transferee,   assignee,  servicer,  participant,
investor,   or  their  respective   successors  in  such  Participations  and/or
Securities  (collectively,  the  "Investor") or any Rating Agency (as defined in
the Security  Instrument) rating such Securities,  each prospective Investor and
each of the foregoing's  respective counsel, all documents and information which
Payee now has or may hereafter  acquire  relating to the debt  evidenced by this
Note and to Maker,  Indemnitor and the Security Property,  which shall have been
furnished by Maker or Indemnitor as Payee determines necessary or desirable.

                     ARTICLE IV. - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     4.1. The terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit  of Maker  and  Payee  and  their  respective  heirs,  executors,  legal
representatives,   successors,   successors-in-title  and  assigns,  whether  by
voluntary  action of the parties or by operation  of law. All personal  pronouns
used herein,  whether used in the masculine,  feminine or neuter  gender,  shall

relative  hereto and  thereto  which are not  contained  herein or  therein  are
terminated.
