     2. UNIFORM  COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  This Instrument is also a

all  products  and  cash  and  non-cash  proceeds  thereof  (collectively,  "UCC
Collateral"),  and Borrower  hereby grants to Lender a security  interest in the
UCC  Collateral.  Borrower  shall  execute and deliver to Lender,  upon Lender's
request,  financing statements,  continuation statements and amendments, in such
form as Lender  may  require  to  perfect or  continue  the  perfection  of this
security  interest.  Borrower  shall  pay all  filing  costs  and all  costs and
expenses  of any  record  searches  for  financing  statements  that  Lender may

                                       6
<PAGE>

not create or permit to exist any other lien or security  interest in any of the
UCC  Collateral.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  Lender
shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in
addition  to  all  remedies  provided  by  this  Instrument  or  existing  under
applicable  law. In exercising  any  remedies,  Lender may exercise its remedies
against the UCC Collateral separately or together,  and in any order, without in
any way affecting the  availability of Lender's other remedies.  This Instrument
constitutes  a financing  statement  with  respect to any part of the  Mortgaged
Property which is or may become a Fixture.

     3. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.

     (a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness,  Borrower absolutely
and  unconditionally  assigns  and  transfers  to Lender  all  Rents.  It is the
intention of Borrower to establish a present,  absolute and irrevocable transfer
and  assignment  to Lender of all Rents and to authorize  and empower  Lender to
collect and receive all Rents  without the  necessity  of further  action on the
part of Borrower.  Promptly upon request by Lender,  Borrower  agrees to execute
and deliver such further  assignments  as Lender may from time to time  require.
Borrower and Lender intend this assignment of Rents to be immediately  effective
and to  constitute an absolute  present  assignment  and not an  assignment  for
additional  security  only.  For  purposes  of giving  effect  to this  absolute
assignment of Rents, and for no other purpose, Rents shall not be deemed to be a
part of the  "Mortgaged  Property"  as that term is  defined  in  Section  1(s).
However, if this present,  absolute and unconditional assignment of Rents is not
enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property  Jurisdiction,  then the
Rents  shall  be  included  as a part of the  Mortgaged  Property  and it is the
intention of the Borrower that in this  circumstance  this Instrument create and
perfect a lien on Rents in favor of Lender,  which lien shall be effective as of
the date of this Instrument.

     (b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender
to  collect,  sue for and  compromise  Rents  and  directs  each  tenant  of the
Mortgaged  Property to pay all Rents to, or as  directed  by,  Lender.  However,
until the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Lender hereby grants to Borrower a
revocable  license to collect and receive all Rents,  to hold all Rents in trust
for the  benefit  of Lender  and to apply all Rents to pay the  installments  of
interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts
then due and  payable  under  the other  Loan  Documents,  including  Imposition
Deposits,  and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing,  operating and
maintaining the Mortgaged  Property,  including  utilities,  Taxes and insurance
premiums  (to  the  extent  not  included  in   Imposition   Deposits),   tenant
improvements and other capital expenditures.  So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing,  the Rents remaining after  application  pursuant to
the  preceding  sentence  may be  retained  by  Borrower  free and clear of, and
released from, Lender's rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument. From
and after the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  and without the necessity of
Lender  entering  upon and  taking  and  maintaining  control  of the  Mortgaged
Property directly,  or by a receiver,  Borrower's license to collect Rents shall
automatically terminate and Lender shall without notice be entitled to all Rents
as they become due and payable,  including

                                       7
<PAGE>

Rents then due and unpaid. Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to
which  Lender is entitled.  At any time on or after the date of Lender's  demand
for Rents, Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to
give,  notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged  Property  instructing them to pay
all Rents to Lender,  no tenant shall be obligated to inquire  further as to the
occurrence  or  continuance  of an  Event of  Default,  and no  tenant  shall be
obligated  to pay to Borrower any amounts  which are actually  paid to Lender in
response to such a notice.  Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each
tenant  personally,  by mail or by  delivering  such demand to each rental unit.
Borrower shall not interfere with and shall  cooperate with Lender's  collection
of such Rents.

     (c)  Borrower  represents  and  warrants  to Lender that  Borrower  has not
executed  any prior  assignment  of Rents  (other  than an  assignment  of Rents
securing  indebtedness that will be paid off and discharged with the proceeds of
the loan evidenced by the Note),  that Borrower has not performed,  and Borrower
covenants  and agrees that it will not perform,  any acts and has not  executed,
and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising
its rights  under  this  Section  3, and that at the time of  execution  of this
Instrument  there has been no  anticipation  or prepayment of any Rents for more
than two months prior to the due dates of such Rents. Borrower shall not collect
or accept  payment of any Rents  more than two months  prior to the due dates of
such Rents.

     (d) If an Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  Lender may,
regardless of the adequacy of Lender's  security or the solvency of Borrower and
even in the absence of waste,  enter upon and take and maintain  full control of
the  Mortgaged  Property  in  order  to  perform  all acts  that  Lender  in its
discretion  determines  to be  necessary  or  desirable  for the  operation  and
maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution,  cancellation or
modification  of Leases,  the collection of all Rents,  the making of repairs to
the Mortgaged  Property and the execution or termination of contracts  providing
for the management,  operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the
purposes  of  enforcing  the  assignment  of Rents  pursuant  to  Section  3(a),
protecting  the Mortgaged  Property or the security of this  Instrument,  or for
such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.
Alternatively, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, regardless
of the adequacy of Lenders security,  without regard to Borrower's  solvency and
without the  necessity  of giving  prior  notice  (oral or written) to Borrower,
Lender  may apply to any court  having  jurisdiction  for the  appointment  of a
receiver for the Mortgaged  Property to take any or all of the actions set forth
in the  preceding  sentence.  If  Lender  elects  to seek the  appointment  of a
receiver  for the  Mortgaged  Property at any time after an Event of Default has
occurred and is  continuing,  Borrower,  by its  execution  of this  Instrument,
expressly   consents  to  the  appointment  of  such  receiver,   including  the
appointment of a receiver ex parte if permitted by applicable law. Lender or the
receiver,  as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for
managing the Mortgaged  Property.  Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or
immediately upon the Lender's entering upon and taking possession and control of
the Mortgaged  Property,  Borrower shall  surrender  possession of the Mortgaged
Property  to Lender or the  receiver,  as the case may be, and shall  deliver to
Lender or the receiver,  as the case may be, all documents,  records  (including
records  on  electronic  or

                                       8
<PAGE>

magnetic media),  accounts,  surveys,  plans, and specifications relating to the
Mortgaged  Property and all security  deposits and prepaid  Rents.  In the event
Lender  takes  possession  and  control of the  Mortgaged  Property,  Lender may
exclude Borrower and its representatives  from the Mortgaged Property.  Borrower
acknowledges  and  agrees  that the  exercise  by  Lender  of any of the  rights
conferred  under  this  Section  3  shall  not be  construed  to make  Lender  a
mortgagee-in-possession  of the  Mortgaged  Property  so long as Lender  has not
itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

     (e) If Lender  enters the  Mortgaged  Property,  Lender  shall be liable to
account  only to Borrower  and only for those Rents  actually  received.  Lender
shall not be liable to Borrower,  anyone  claiming under or through  Borrower or
anyone  having an interest in the  Mortgaged  Property,  by reason of any act or
omission  of Lender  under this  Section 3, and  Borrower  hereby  releases  and
discharges  Lender from any such  liability to the fullest  extent  permitted by
law.

     (f) If the Rents are not  sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of
and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended
by Lender for such purposes shall become an additional part of the  Indebtedness
as provided in Section 12.

     (g) Any entering  upon and taking of control of the  Mortgaged  Property by
Lender or the  receiver,  as the case may be,  and any  application  of Rents as
provided  in this  Instrument  shall not cure or waive any Event of  Default  or
invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under  applicable law or provided
for in this Instrument.

     4. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES; LEASES AFFECTING THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

     (a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness,  Borrower absolutely
and  unconditionally  assigns and transfers to Lender all of  Borrower's  right,
title and  interest  in, to and under the Leases,  including  Borrower's  right,
power  and  authority  to  modify  the  terms of any such  Lease,  or  extend or
terminate  any such  Lease.  It is the  intention  of  Borrower  to  establish a
present,  absolute and  irrevocable  transfer and assignment to Lender of all of
Borrower's right,  title and interest in, to and under the Leases.  Borrower and
Lender intend this  assignment of the Leases to be immediately  effective and to
constitute an absolute  present  assignment and not an assignment for additional
security only. For purposes of giving effect to this absolute  assignment of the
Leases, and for no other purpose, the Leases shall not be deemed to be a part of
the "Mortgaged  Property" as that term is defined in Section 1(s).  However,  if
this  present,  absolute  and  unconditional  assignment  of the  Leases  is not
enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property  Jurisdiction,  then the
Leases  shall be  included  as a part of the  Mortgaged  Property  and it is the
intention of the Borrower that in this  circumstance  this Instrument create and
perfect a lien on the Leases in favor of Lender,  which lien shall be  effective
as of the date of this Instrument.

     (b) Until  Lender  gives  notice to Borrower  of  Lender's  exercise of its
rights under this Section 4, Borrower shall have all rights, power and authority
granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Section
or any other  provision  of this  Instrument),

                                       9
<PAGE>

including  the right,  power and  authority  to modify the terms of any Lease or
extend or terminate any Lease.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  the
permission given to Borrower pursuant to the preceding  sentence to exercise all
rights, power and authority under Leases shall automatically terminate. Borrower
shall comply with and observe Borrower's obligations under all Leases, including
Borrower's  obligations  pertaining to the maintenance and disposition of tenant
security deposits.

     (c) Borrower  acknowledges  and agrees that the exercise by Lender,  either
directly or by a receiver,  of any of the rights  conferred under this Section 4
shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged
Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual  possession of the
Land and the  Improvements.  The  acceptance by Lender of the  assignment of the
Leases  pursuant to Section 4(a) shall not at any time or in any event  obligate
Lender to take any  action  under this  Instrument  or to expend any money or to
incur any  expenses.  Lender  shall  not be liable in any way for any  injury or
damage  to person or  property  sustained  by any  person  or  persons,  firm or
corporation in or about the Mortgaged  Property.  Prior to Lender's actual entry
into and taking  possession of the Mortgaged  Property,  Lender shall not (i) be
obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any
Lease (or  otherwise  have any  obligation  with respect to any Lease);  (ii) be
obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding  relating to the Lease
or the Mortgaged Property;  or (iii) be responsible for the operation,  control,
care,  management  or repair of the  Mortgaged  Property  or any  portion of the
Mortgaged  Property.   The  execution  of  this  Instrument  by  Borrower  shall
constitute  conclusive  evidence  that  all  responsibility  for the  operation,
control,  care,  management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be
that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking of possession.

     (d) Upon  delivery of notice by Lender to Borrower of Lender's  exercise of
Lender's  rights  under this  Section 4 at any time after the  occurrence  of an
Event of Default,  and without the necessity of Lender  entering upon and taking
and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by
any  other  manner  or  proceeding   permitted  by  the  laws  of  the  Property
Jurisdiction,  Lender  immediately  shall have all rights,  powers and authority
granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to
modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease.

     (e) Borrower shall,  promptly upon Lender's  request,  deliver to Lender an
executed  copy  of each  residential  Lease  then  in  effect.  All  Leases  for
residential  dwelling units shall be on forms  approved by Lender,  shall be for
initial terms of at least six months and not more than two years,  and shall not
include options to purchase.

     (f)  Borrower  shall not lease any portion of the  Mortgaged  Property  for
non-residential use except with the prior written consent of Lender and Lender's
prior written  approval of the Lease  agreement.  Borrower  shall not modify the
terms of, or extend or terminate,  any Lease for  non-residential use (including
any Lease in existence on the date of this Instrument) without the prior written
consent of  Lender.  Borrower  shall,  without  request  by  Lender,  deliver an
executed

                                       10
<PAGE>

copy of each  non-residential  Lease to  Lender  promptly  after  such  Lease is
signed. All non-residential Leases, including renewals or extensions of existing
Leases,  shall specifically  provide that (1) such Leases are subordinate to the
lien of this Instrument; (2) the tenant shall attorn to Lender and any purchaser
at a foreclosure sale, such attornment to be  self-executing  and effective upon
acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property by any purchaser at a foreclosure
sale or by Lender in any manner;  (3) the tenant  agrees to execute such further
evidences of attornment  as Lender or any  purchaser at a  foreclosure  sale may
from time to time request;  (4) the Lease shall not be terminated by foreclosure
or any other transfer of the Mortgaged Property; (5) after a foreclosure sale of
the Mortgaged  Property,  Lender or any other purchaser at such foreclosure sale
may, at Lender's or such purchaser's option, accept or terminate such Lease; and
(6) the tenant shall,  upon receipt after the  occurrence of an Event of Default
of a written  request  from  Lender,  pay all Rents  payable  under the Lease to
Lender.

     (g)  Borrower  shall not  receive or accept  Rent under any Lease  (whether
residential or non-residential) for more than two months in advance.

     5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS;  PERFORMANCE  UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS;  PREPAYMENT
PREMIUM.  Borrower shall pay the  Indebtedness  when due in accordance  with the
terms of the Note and the other Loan  Documents and shall  perform,  observe and
comply  with all  other  provisions  of the Note and the other  Loan  Documents.
Borrower shall pay a prepayment  premium in connection with certain  prepayments
of the  Indebtedness,  including a payment made after  Lender's  exercise of any
right of acceleration of the Indebtedness, as provided in the Note.

     6.  EXCULPATION.   Borrower's   personal   liability  for  payment  of  the
Indebtedness and for performance of the other  obligations to be performed by it
under this Instrument is limited in the manner,  and to the extent,  provided in
the Note.

     7. DEPOSITS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.

     (a) Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the day monthly  installments  of
principal  or  interest,  or both,  are due  under the Note (or on  another  day
designated  in writing by Lender),  until the  Indebtedness  is paid in full, an
additional  amount  sufficient to accumulate with Lender the entire sum required
to pay, when due (1) any water and sewer charges which,  if not paid, may result
in a lien on all or any part of the  Mortgaged  Property,  (2) the  premiums for
fire and other hazard insurance, rent loss insurance and such other insurance as
Lender may  require  under  Section  19, (3) Taxes,  and (4)  amounts  for other
charges and expenses  which  Lender at any time  reasonably  deems  necessary to
protect  the  Mortgaged  Property,  to prevent  the  imposition  of liens on the
Mortgaged  Property,  or  otherwise  to  protect  Lender's  interests,   all  as
reasonably  estimated  from  time to  time by  Lender,  plus  one-sixth  of such
estimate.  The amounts  deposited under the preceding  sentence are collectively
referred to in this Instrument as the "Imposition Deposits".  The obligations of
Borrower  for  which the  Imposition  Deposits  are  required  are  collectively
referred to in this  Instrument as  "Impositions".  The amount of the Imposition
Deposits shall be

                                       11
<PAGE>

sufficient  to enable  Lender to pay each  Imposition  before the last date upon
which such  payment may be made  without any  penalty or interest  charge  being
added.  Lender  shall  maintain  records  indicating  how  much  of the  monthly
Imposition  Deposits and how much of the aggregate  Imposition  Deposits held by
Lender are held for the purpose of paying  Taxes,  insurance  premiums  and each
other  obligation of Borrower for which  Imposition  Deposits are required.  Any
waiver by Lender of the requirement that Borrower remit  Imposition  Deposits to
Lender may be revoked by Lender, in Lender's discretion, at any time upon notice
to Borrower.

     (b)  Imposition  Deposits  shall be held in an  institution  (which  may be
Lender, if Lender is such an institution) whose deposits or accounts are insured
or  guaranteed  by a  federal  agency.  Lender  shall not be  obligated  to open
additional  accounts or deposit Imposition  Deposits in additional  institutions
when the amount of the  Imposition  Deposits  exceeds the maximum  amount of the
federal  deposit  insurance  or  guaranty.  Lender  shall  apply the  Imposition
Deposits to pay  Impositions  so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Unless applicable law requires, Lender shall not be required to pay
Borrower any interest,  earnings or profits on the Imposition Deposits. Borrower
hereby  pledges  and  grants to Lender a  security  interest  in the  Imposition
Deposits as  additional  security for all of Borrower's  obligations  under this
Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Any amounts deposited with Lender under
this  Section 7 shall not be trust  funds,  nor shall they operate to reduce the
Indebtedness, unless applied by Lender for that purpose under Section 7(e).

     (c) If Lender  receives a bill or invoice for an  Imposition,  Lender shall
pay the  Imposition  from the Imposition  Deposits held by Lender.  Lender shall
have no  obligation to pay any  Imposition  to the extent it exceeds  Imposition
Deposits  then held by Lender.  Lender may pay an  Imposition  according  to any
bill,  statement or estimate  from the  appropriate  public  office or insurance
company without  inquiring into the accuracy of the bill,  statement or estimate
or into the validity of the Imposition.

     (d) If at any time the amount of the Imposition Deposits held by Lender for
payment of a specific  Imposition exceeds the amount reasonably deemed necessary
by Lender plus one-sixth of such estimate,  the excess shall be credited against
future  installments  of Imposition  Deposits.  If at any time the amount of the
Imposition  Deposits held by Lender for payment of a specific Imposition is less
than the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be necessary plus one-sixth of
such estimate,  Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of the deficiency within
15 days after notice from Lender.

     (e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply
any Imposition  Deposits,  in any amounts and in any order as Lender determines,
in  Lender's  discretion,  to pay any  Impositions  or as a credit  against  the
Indebtedness.  Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness,  Lender shall refund to
Borrower any Imposition Deposits held by Lender.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     8. COLLATERAL  AGREEMENTS.  Borrower shall deposit with Lender such amounts
as may be  required  by any  Collateral  Agreement  and shall  perform all other
obligations of Borrower under each Collateral Agreement.

     9. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  If at any time Lender receives,  from Borrower
or otherwise,  any amount applicable to the Indebtedness  which is less than all
amounts  due and  payable at such time,  then  Lender may apply that  payment to
amounts  then due and  payable  in any  manner  and in any order  determined  by
Lender, in Lender's  discretion.  Neither Lender's acceptance of an amount which
is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender's  application  of such
payment in the manner  authorized  shall  constitute  or be deemed to constitute
either  a  waiver  of  the  unpaid  amounts  or  an  accord  and   satisfaction.
Notwithstanding  the  application  of  any  such  amount  to  the  Indebtedness,
Borrower's   obligations  under  this  Instrument  and  the  Note  shall  remain
unchanged.

     10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall comply with all laws,  ordinances,
regulations  and  requirements  of any  Governmental  Authority and all recorded
lawful covenants and agreements relating to or affecting the Mortgaged Property,
including  all  laws,  ordinances,   regulations,   requirements  and  covenants
pertaining to health and safety,  construction  of improvements on the Mortgaged
Property,  fair  housing,  zoning and land use, and Leases.  Borrower also shall
comply with all applicable  laws that pertain to the maintenance and disposition
of  tenant  security  deposits.  Borrower  shall at all times  maintain  records
sufficient to  demonstrate  compliance  with the  provisions of this Section 10.
Borrower shall take appropriate  measures to prevent, and shall not engage in or
knowingly permit,  any illegal  activities at the Mortgaged  Property that could
endanger tenants or visitors, result in damage to the Mortgaged Property, result
in forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property, or otherwise materially impair the lien
created by this  Instrument  or  Lender's  interest in the  Mortgaged  Property.
Borrower  represents  and  warrants to Lender  that no portion of the  Mortgaged
Property  has  been  or will be  purchased  with  the  proceeds  of any  illegal
activity.

     11. USE OF PROPERTY.  Unless required by applicable law, Borrower shall not
(a) except for any change in use  approved by Lender,  allow  changes in the use
for which all or any part of the  Mortgaged  Property  is being used at the time
this  Instrument  was executed,  (b) convert any  individual  dwelling  units or
common  areas to  commercial  use,  (c) initiate or acquiesce in a change in the
zoning   classification  of  the  Mortgaged  Property,   or  (d)  establish  any
condominium or cooperative regime with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

     12. PROTECTION OF LENDER'S SECURITY.

     (a)  If  Borrower  fails  to  perform  any of its  obligations  under  this
Instrument  or any  other  Loan  Document,  or if any  action or  proceeding  is
commenced which purports to affect the Mortgaged Property,  Lender's security or
Lender's rights under this  Instrument,  including  eminent domain,  insolvency,
code  enforcement,  civil  or  criminal  forfeiture,  enforcement  of  Hazardous
Materials  Laws,   fraudulent   conveyance  or  reorganizations  or  proceedings
involving  a

                                       13
<PAGE>

bankrupt or decedent,  then Lender at Lende s option may make such  appearances,
disburse such sums and take such actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary to
perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect Lender's interest, including
(1)  payment  of fees and out of  pocket  expenses  of  attorneys,  accountants,
inspectors  and  consultants,  (2) entry  upon the  Mortgaged  Property  to make
repairs or secure the  Mortgaged  Property,  (3)  procurement  of the  insurance
required by Section 19, and (4) payment of amounts which  Borrower has failed to
pay under Sections 15 and 17.

     (b) Any amounts  disbursed  by Lender  under this  Section 12, or under any
other provision of this  Instrument that treats such  disbursement as being made
under this  Section  12,  shall be added to, and become  part of, the  principal
component of the  Indebtedness,  shall be immediately  due and payable and shall
bear interest from the date of disbursement until paid at the "Default Rate", as
defined in the Note.

     (c) Nothing in this Section 12 shall require Lender to incur any expense or
take any action.

     13. INSPECTION. Lender, its agents, representatives, and designees may make
or cause to be made  entries  upon and  inspections  of the  Mortgaged  Property
(including environmental inspections and tests) during normal business hours, or
at any other reasonable time.

     14. BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL REPORTING.

     (a) Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times at the Mortgaged Property
or the  management  agent's  offices,  and  upon  Lender's  request  shall  make
available at the Mortgaged Property,  complete and accurate books of account and
records  (including copies of supporting bills and invoices) adequate to reflect
correctly  the operation of the  Mortgaged  Property,  and copies of all written
contracts,  Leases,  and other instruments which affect the Mortgaged  Property.
The books, records,  contracts, Leases and other instruments shall be subject to
examination and inspection at any reasonable time by Lender.

     (b) Borrower shall furnish to Lender all of the following:

          (1)  within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower,  a
               statement of income and expenses for Borrower's  operation of the
               Mortgaged  Property  for that fiscal year, a statement of changes
               in  financial  position  of Borrower  relating  to the  Mortgaged
               Property for that fiscal year and,  when  requested by Lender,  a
               balance  sheet  showing  all assets and  liabilities  of Borrower
               relating to the  Mortgaged  Property as of the end of that fiscal
               year;

          (2)  within 120 days after the end of each  fiscal  year of  Borrower,
               and at any other time upon Lender's request,  a rent schedule for
               the Mortgaged

                                       14
<PAGE>

               Property  showing the name of each  tenant,  and for each tenant,
               the space occupied,  the lease  expiration date, the rent payable
               for the current month, the date through which rent has been paid,
               and any related information requested by Lender;

          (3)  within 120 days after the end of each  fiscal  year of  Borrower,
               and at any other time upon Lender's request, an accounting of all
               security deposits held pursuant to all Leases, including the name
               of the  institution  (if any) and the  names  and  identification
               numbers of the accounts (if any) in which such security  deposits
               are held and the name of the person to contact at such  financial
               institution,  along with any  authority or release  necessary for
               Lender to access information regarding such accounts;

          (4)  within 120 days after the end of each  fiscal  year of  Borrower,
               and at any other time upon  Lender's  request,  a statement  that
               identifies  all  owners  of any  interest  in  Borrower  and  any
               Controlling  Entity and the interest held by each, if Borrower or
               a Controlling Entity is a corporation, all officers and directors
               of  Borrower  and the  Controlling  Entity,  and if Borrower or a
               Controlling Entity is a limited liability  company,  all managers
               who are not members;

          (5)  upon Lender's  request,  quarterly income and expense  statements
               for the Mortgaged Property;

          (6)  upon  Lender's  request at any time when an Event of Default  has
               occurred and is continuing, monthly income and expense statements
               for the Mortgaged Property;

          (7)  upon Lender's request,  a monthly property  management report for
               the Mortgaged Property,  showing the number of inquiries made and
               rental applications  received from tenants or prospective tenants
               and  deposits  received  from  tenants and any other  information
               requested by Lender; and

          (8)  upon Lender's request, a balance sheet, a statement of income and
               expenses  for  Borrower  and a statement  of changes in financial
               position of Borrower for Borrower's most recent fiscal year.

     (c) Each of the statements, schedules and reports required by Section 14(b)
shall be certified to be complete and accurate by an individual having authority
to bind  Borrower,  and shall be in such form and contain  such detail as Lender
may reasonably require.  Lender also may require that any statements,  schedules
or reports be audited at  Borrower's  expense by  independent  certified  public
accountants acceptable to Lender.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     (d) If  Borrower  fails to  provide  in a  timely  manner  the  statements,
schedules and reports required by Section 14(b),  Lender shall have the right to
have Borrower's books and records audited, at Borrower's expense, by independent
certified  public  accountants  selected  by  Lender  in  order to  obtain  such
statements,  schedules and reports, and all related costs and expenses of Lender
shall become  immediately due and payable and shall become an additional part of
the Indebtedness as provided in Section 12.

     (e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,  Borrower shall
deliver to Lender  upon  written  demand all books and  records  relating to the
Mortgaged Property or its operation.

     (f) Borrower authorizes Lender to obtain a credit report on Borrower at any
time.

     15. TAXES; OPERATING EXPENSES.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 15(c) and Section 15(d),  Borrower
shall pay,  or cause to be paid,  all Taxes when due and before the  addition of
any interest, fine, penalty or cost for nonpayment.

     (b) Subject to the  provisions  of Section  15(c),  Borrower  shall pay the
expenses  of  operating,  managing,  maintaining  and  repairing  the  Mortgaged
Property  (including  insurance premiums,  utilities,  repairs and replacements)
before  the last date upon  which  each such  payment  may be made  without  any
penalty or interest charge being added.

     (c) As long as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has timely delivered
to Lender any bills or premium notices that it has received,  Borrower shall not
be obligated to pay Taxes, insurance premiums or any other individual Imposition
to the extent that  sufficient  Imposition  Deposits  are held by Lender for the
purpose of paying  that  specific  Imposition.  If an Event of  Default  exists,
Lender may  exercise  any  rights  Lender  may have with  respect to  Imposition
Deposits without regard to whether Impositions are then due and payable.  Lender
shall have no liability to Borrower  for failing to pay any  Impositions  to the
extent that any Event of Default has  occurred and is  continuing,  insufficient
Imposition Deposits are held by Lender at the time an Imposition becomes due and
payable or Borrower has failed to provide Lender with bills and premium  notices
as provided above.

     (d)  Borrower,  at its  own  expense,  may  contest  by  appropriate  legal
proceedings,  conducted  diligently and in good faith, the amount or validity of
any Imposition other than insurance premiums, if (1) Borrower notifies Lender of
the commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (2) the Mortgaged
Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, (3) Borrower deposits with
Lender  reserves  sufficient  to pay the contested  Imposition,  if requested by
Lender, and (4) Borrower  furnisheswhatever  additional  security is required in
the  proceedings  or is  reasonably  requested by Lender,  which may include the
delivery to Lender of the reserves  established by Borrower to pay the contested
Imposition.



                                       16
<PAGE>

     (e) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of all notices of, and
invoices  for,  Impositions,  and if  Borrower  pays  any  Imposition  directly,
Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender receipts evidencing such payments.

     16. LIENS; ENCUMBRANCES. Borrower acknowledges that, to the extent provided
in Section 21, the grant, creation or existence of any mortgage,  deed of trust,
deed to secure debt,  security  interest or other lien or encumbrance (a "Lien")
on the Mortgaged Property (other than the lien of this Instrument) or on certain
ownership interests in Borrower, whether voluntary,  involuntary or by operation
of law,  and  whether  or not  such  Lien  has  priority  over  the lien of this
Instrument,  is a "Transfer" which  constitutes an Event of Default and subjects
Borrower to personal liability under the Note.

     17.  PRESERVATION,   MANAGEMENT  AND  MAINTENANCE  OF  MORTGAGED  PROPERTY.
Borrower (a) shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the
Mortgaged  Property,  (b) shall not abandon the  Mortgaged  Property,  (c) shall
restore or repair promptly,  in a good and workmanlike  manner, any damaged part
of the Mortgaged Property to the equivalent of its original  condition,  or such
other  condition  as Lender may  approve in  writing,  whether or not  insurance
proceeds  or  condemnation  awards  are  available  to cover  any  costs of such
restoration  or repair,  (d) shall keep the  Mortgaged  Property in good repair,
including  the  replacement  of  Personalty  and Fixtures with items of equal or
better function and quality,  (e) shall provide for  professional  management of
the Mortgaged Property by a residential rental property manager  satisfactory to
Lender under a contract approved by Lender in writing, and (f) shall give notice
to Lender of and, unless otherwise  directed in writing by Lender,  shall appear
in and defend  any  action or  proceeding  purporting  to affect  the  Mortgaged
Property,  Lender's security or Lender's rights under this Instrument.  Borrower
shall not (and shall not permit any tenant or other person to) remove,  demolish
or alter the Mortgaged  Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property except in
connection with the replacement of tangible Personalty.

     18. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS.

     (a)  Except for  matters  covered by a written  program of  operations  and
maintenance  approved  in  writing  by  Lender  (an "O&M  Program")  or  matters
described  in  Section  18(b),  Borrower  shall not  cause or permit  any of the
following:

          (1)  the presence, use, generation,  release,  treatment,  processing,
               storage  (including  storage  in  above  ground  and  underground
               storage tanks),  handling, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials
               on or under  the  Mortgaged  Property  or any other  property  of
               Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged Property;

          (2)  the transportation of any Hazardous Materials to, from, or across
               the Mortgaged Property;


                                       17
<PAGE>

          (3)  any  occurrence  or  condition on the  Mortgaged  Property or any
               other  property  of Borrower  that is  adjacent to the  Mortgaged
               Property, which occurrence or condition is or may be in violation
               of Hazardous Materials Laws; or

          (4)  any  violation  of  or  noncompliance   with  the  terms  of  any
               Environmental  Permit with respect to the  Mortgaged  Property or
               any  property  of  Borrower  that is  adjacent  to the  Mortgaged
               Property.

The  matters  described  in  clauses  (1)  through  (4)  above are  referred  to
collectively in this Section 18 as "Prohibited Activities or Conditions".

     (b) Prohibited  Activities  and  Conditions  shall not include the safe and
lawful use and storage of  quantities  of (1)  pre-packaged  supplies,  cleaning
materials  and  petroleum  products   customarily  used  in  the  operation  and
maintenance  of  comparable  multifamily  properties,  (2)  cleaning  materials,
personal  grooming  items and other items sold in  pre-packaged  containers  for
consumer use and used by tenants and occupants of residential  dwelling units in
the Mortgaged  Property;  and (3)  petroleum  products used in the operation and
maintenance  of  motor  vehicles  from  time to time  located  on the  Mortgaged
Property's  parking  areas,  so long as all of the foregoing  are used,  stored,
handled,  transported  and disposed of in compliance  with  Hazardous  Materials
Laws.

     (c) Borrower shall take all commercially  reasonable actions (including the
inclusion of  appropriate  provisions in any Leases  executed  after the date of
this  Instrument) to prevent its employees,  agents,  and  contractors,  and all
tenants and other occupants from causing or permitting any Prohibited Activities
or  Conditions.  Borrower shall not lease or allow the sublease or use of all or
any  portion  of  the  Mortgaged   Property  to  any  tenant  or  subtenant  for
nonresidential  use by any user that,  in the ordinary  course of its  business,
would cause or permit any Prohibited Activity or Condition.

     (d) If an O&M  Program  has been  established  with  respect  to  Hazardous
Materials,  Borrower  shall  comply  in a timely  manner  with,  and  cause  all
employees,  agents, and contractors of Borrower and any other persons present on
the Mortgaged Property to comply with the O&M Program.  All costs of performance
of Borrower's  obligations under any O&M Program shall be paid by Borrower,  and
Lender's  out-of-pocket  costs  incurred in connection  with the  monitoring and
review of the O&M Program and  Borrower'  performance  shall be paid by Borrower
upon demand by Lender.  Any such  out-of-pocket  costs of Lender which  Borrower
fails to pay promptly  shall become an additional  part of the  Indebtedness  as
provided in Section 12.

     (e) Borrower  represents and warrants to Lender that,  except as previously
disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing:

          (1)  Borrower has not at any time engaged in,  caused or permitted any
               Prohibited Activities or Conditions;

                                       18
<PAGE>


          (2)  to the best of Borrower's knowledge after reasonable and diligent
               inquiry,  no Prohibited  Activities  or Conditions  exist or have
               existed;

          (3)  except to the extent  previously  disclosed by Borrower to Lender
               in  writing,  the  Mortgaged  Property  does not now  contain any
               underground  storage  tanks,  and,  to  the  best  of  Borrower's
               knowledge after  reasonable and diligent  inquiry,  the Mortgaged
               Property has not contained any  underground  storage tanks in the
               past.  If there is an  underground  storage  tank  located on the
               Property  which has been  previously  disclosed  by  Borrower  to
               Lender in writing,  that tank complies with all  requirements  of
               Hazardous Materials Laws;

          (4)  Borrower  has  complied  with  all  Hazardous   Materials   Laws,
               including all requirements for notification regarding releases of
               Hazardous  Materials.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
               foregoing,   Borrower  has  obtained  all  Environmental  Permits
               required  for  the  operation  of  the   Mortgaged   Property  in
               accordance  with  Hazardous  Materials Laws now in effect and all
               such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect;

          (5)  no event has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property that
               constitutes,  or with the passing of time or the giving of notice
               would   constitute,   noncompliance   with   the   terms  of  any
               Environmental Permit;

          (6)  there are no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to
               the best of Borrower's  knowledge  after  reasonable and diligent
               inquiry,  threatened  that  involve the  Mortgaged  Property  and
               allege,  arise out of, or relate to any  Prohibited  Activity  or
               Condition; and

          (7)  Borrower  has  not  received  any  complaint,  order,  notice  of
               violation or other communication from any Governmental  Authority
               with regard to air emissions,  water discharges,  noise emissions
               or Hazardous  Materials,  or any other  environmental,  health or
               safety  matters  affecting  the  Mortgaged  Property or any other
               property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Mortgaged  Property.

The  representations  and  warranties  in this  Section  18 shall be  continuing
representations  and  warranties  that  shall be deemed  to be made by  Borrower
throughout  the term of the loan evidenced by the Note,  until the  Indebtedness
has been paid in full.

     (f) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon the occurrence of
any of the following events:

          (1)  Borrower's discovery of any Prohibited Activity or Condition;

                                       19
<PAGE>


          (2)  Borrower's  receipt  of or  knowledge  of any  complaint,  order,
               notice of violation or other  communication from any Governmental
               Authority  or other  person  with  regard  to  present  or future
               alleged   Prohibited   Activities  or  Conditions  or  any  other
               environmental,  health or safety matters  affecting the Mortgaged
               Property or any other  property  of Borrower  that is adjacent to
               the Mortgaged Property; and

          (3)  any  representation or warranty in this Section 18 becomes untrue
               after  the  date of this  Agreement.

Any such notice given by Borrower shall not relieve  Borrower of, or result in a
waiver of, any  obligation  under this  Instrument,  the Note, or any other Loan
Document.

     (g) Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections,
tests or audits  ("Environmental  Inspections") required by Lender in connection
with  any  foreclosure  or deed in lieu of  foreclosure,  or as a  condition  of
Lender's  consent  to any  Transfer  under  Section  21, or  required  by Lender
following a reasonable  determination  by Lender that  Prohibited  Activities or
Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender  (including the fees and
out-of-pocket  costs of attorneys and technical  consultants whether incurred in
connection  with any  judicial or  administrative  process or  otherwise)  which
Borrower  fails  to  pay  promptly  shall  become  an  additional  part  of  the
Indebtedness  as  provided  in  Section  12. The  results  of all  Environmental
Inspections  made by Lender shall at all times remain the property of Lender and
Lender  shall have no  obligation  to disclose or  otherwise  make  available to
Borrower or any other party such  results or any other  information  obtained by
Lender in connection with its Environmental Inspections.  Lender hereby reserves
the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to
any  party,  including  any  prospective  bidder  at a  foreclosure  sale of the
Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental  Inspections made by Lender
with respect to the Mortgaged  Property.  Borrower  consents to Lender notifying
any party  (either as part of a notice of sale or  otherwise)  of the results of
any of Lender's  Environmental  Inspections.  Borrower  acknowledges that Lender
cannot control or otherwise  assure the  truthfulness or accuracy of the results
of any of its Environmental  Inspections and that the release of such results to
prospective  bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged  Property may have a
material and adverse  effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale.
Borrower  agrees that Lender shall have no liability  whatsoever  as a result of
delivering  the  results of any of its  Environmental  Inspections  to any third
party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever  discharges  Lender from any and
all claims,  damages,  or causes of action,  arising out of,  connected  with or
incidental  to the  results of, the  delivery  of any of Lender's  Environmental
Inspections.

     (h)  If  any  investigation,   site  monitoring,   containment,   clean-up,
restoration or other remedial work ("Remedial Work") is necessary to comply with
any Hazardous  Materials Law or order of any Governmental  Authority that has or
acquires  jurisdiction  over the  Mortgaged  Property or the use,  operation  or
improvement  of the  Mortgaged  Property  under  any  Hazardous

                                       20
<PAGE>

Materials Law,  Borrower  shall,  by the earlier of (1) the applicable  deadline
required  by  Hazardous  Materials  Law or (2) 30 days after  notice from Lender
demanding  such action,  begin  performing  the Remedial  Work,  and  thereafter
diligently prosecute it to completion,  and shall in any event complete the work
by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to
begin on a timely basis or  diligently  prosecute  any required  Remedial  Work,
Lender may, at its option,  cause the Remedial  Work to be  completed,  in which
case  Borrower  shall  reimburse  Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any
reimbursement  due from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Indebtedness
as provided in Section 12.

     (i) Borrower shall cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority
and shall comply with any  governmental  or judicial order which arises from any
alleged Prohibited Activity or Condition.

     (j) Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) Lender, (ii) any
prior owner or holder of the Note, (iii) the Loan Servicer,  (iv) any prior Loan
Servicer, (v) the officers,  directors,  shareholders,  partners,  employees and
trustees of any of the  foregoing,  and (vi) the heirs,  legal  representatives,
successors   and   assigns  of  each  of  the   foregoing   (collectively,   the
"Indemnitees") from and against all proceedings,  claims, damages, penalties and
costs  (whether  initiated  or sought by  Governmental  Authorities  or  private
parties),  including  fees and out of pocket  expenses of  attorneys  and expert
witnesses,  investigatory  fees,  and  remediation  costs,  whether  incurred in
connection  with any judicial or  administrative  process or otherwise,  arising
directly or indirectly from any of the following:

          (1)  any breach of any  representation or warranty of Borrower in this
               Section 18;

          (2)  any failure by Borrower to perform any of its  obligations  under
               this Section 18;

          (3)  the existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited  Activity or
               Condition;

          (4)  the  presence or alleged  presence of  Hazardous  Materials on or
               under the Mortgaged  Property or any property of Borrower that is
               adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; and

          (5)  the actual or alleged violation of any Hazardous Materials Law.

     (k) Counsel selected by Borrower to defend  Indemnitees shall be subject to
the approval of those Indemnitees.  However,  any Indemnitee may elect to defend
any claim or legal or administrative proceeding at the Borrower's expense.

     (l)  Borrower  shall  not,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of those
Indemnitees  who are  named as  parties  to a claim  or legal or  administrative
proceeding (a "Claim"),  settle or compromise  the Claim if the  settlement  (1)
results in the entry of any judgment  that does not

                                       21
<PAGE>

include as an  unconditional  term the  delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to
Lender of a  written  release  of those  Indemnitees,  satisfactory  in form and
substance to Lender;  or (2) may  materially  and adversely  affect  Lender,  as
determined by Lender in its discretion.

     (m) Borrower's obligation to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited
or  impaired  by any of the  following,  or by any  failure of  Borrower  or any
guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following:

          (1)  any amendment or modification of any Loan Document;

          (2)  any  extensions  of time  for  performance  required  by any Loan
               Document;

          (3)  any  provision  in any of the Loan  Documents  limiting  Lender's
               recourse to property securing the  Indebtedness,  or limiting the
               personal  liability of Borrower or any other party for payment of
               all or any part of the Indebtedness;

          (4)  the accuracy or inaccuracy of any  representations and warranties
               made  by  Borrower  under  this  Instrument  or  any  other  Loan
               Document;

          (5)  the  release of  Borrower  or any other  person,  by Lender or by
               operation of law, from  performance of any  obligation  under any
               Loan Document;

          (6)  the release or  substitution  in whole or in part of any security
               for the Indebtedness; and

          (7)  Lender's  failure  to  properly  perfect  any  lien  or  security
               interest given as security for the Indebtedness.

     (n) Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

          (1)  pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against
               any  Indemnitee  or  Indemnitees  in any legal or  administrative
               proceeding  incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are
               entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18;

          (2)  reimburse  Indemnitees  for  any  expenses  paid or  incurred  in
               connection  with  any  matters  against  which   Indemnitees  are
               entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18; and

          (3)  reimburse  Indemnitees  for any and all expenses,  including fees
               and out of pocket  expenses of  attorneys  and expert  witnesses,
               paid  or  incurred  in  connection   with  the   enforcement   by
               Indemnitees  of  their  rights  under  this  Section  18,  or  in
               monitoring  and  participating  in any  legal  or  administrative
               proceeding.


                                       22
<PAGE>

     (o) In any  circumstances  in which the  indemnity  under  this  Section 18
applies,  Lender may employ its own legal counsel and  consultants to prosecute,
defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative  proceeding and Lender,
with the prior  written  consent of Borrower  (which  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld,  delayed or conditioned)  may settle or compromise any action or legal
or  administrative  proceeding.  Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for
all costs and expenses  incurred by Lender,  including all costs of  settlements
entered  into in good  faith,  and the fees and out of pocket  expenses  of such
attorneys and consultants.

     (p) The  provisions  of this Section 18 shall be in addition to any and all
other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under applicable law or
under  other  Loan  Documents,   and  each  Indemnitee   shall  be  entitled  to
indemnification  under this Section 18 without  regard to whether Lender or that
Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged  Property or any other
security,  pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights
available  under the Loan Documents or applicable  law. If Borrower  consists of
more than one person or entity,  the  obligation of those persons or entities to
indemnify the Indemnitees under this Section 18 shall be joint and several.  The
obligation of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees  under this Section 18 shall
survive  any  repayment  or  discharge  of  the  Indebtedness,  any  foreclosure
proceeding,  any  foreclosure  sale,  any  delivery  of  any  deed  in  lieu  of
foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of this Instrument.

     19. PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE.

     (a) Borrower shall keep the Improvements  insured at all times against such
hazards as Lender may from time to time require,  which  insurance shall include
but not be limited to coverage  against loss by fire and allied perils,  general
boiler and machinery coverage, and business income coverage.  Lender's insurance
requirements   may  change  from  time  to  time  throughout  the  term  of  the
Indebtedness.  If Lender so requires, such insurance shall also include sinkhole
insurance,  mine  subsidence  insurance,   earthquake  insurance,  and,  if  the
Mortgaged  Property  does not  conform  to  applicable  zoning or land use laws,
building ordinance or law coverage.  If any of the Improvements is located in an
area identified by the Federal Emergency  Management Agency (or any successor to
that agency) as an area having special flood hazards,  and if flood insurance is
available in that area, Borrower shall insure such Improvements  against loss by
flood.

     (b) All premiums on insurance  policies  required under Section 19(a) shall
be paid in the manner  provided in Section 7, unless  Lender has  designated  in
writing  another  method of payment.  All such policies  shall also be in a form
approved by Lender.  All policies of property  damage  insurance shall include a
non-contributing,  non-reporting  mortgage  clause  in favor  of,  and in a form
approved by, Lender.  Lender shall have the right to hold the original  policies
or  duplicate  original  policies of all  insurance  required by Section  19(a).
Borrower  shall  promptly  deliver  to  Lender a copy of all  renewal  and other
notices  received by Borrower  with respect to the policies and all receipts for
paid  premiums.  At least  30 days  prior to the  expiration  date of a


                                       23
<PAGE>

policy,  Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original (or a duplicate original)
of a renewal policy in form satisfactory to Lender.

     (c)  Borrower  shall  maintain at all times  commercial  general  liability
insurance,  workers' compensation insurance and such other liability, errors and
omissions  and  fidelity  insurance  coverages  as Lender  may from time to time
require.

     (d) All insurance  policies and renewals of insurance  policies required by
this Section 19 shall be in such amounts and for such periods as Lender may from
time to time require, and shall be issued by insurance companies satisfactory to
Lender.

     (e) Borrower  shall comply with all  insurance  requirements  and shall not
permit any  condition to exist on the Mortgaged  Property that would  invalidate
any part of any insurance  coverage that this  Instrument  requires  Borrower to
maintain.

     (f) In the event of loss,  Borrower shall give immediate  written notice to
the insurance  carrier and to Lender.  Borrower  hereby  authorizes and appoints
Lender as  attorney-in-fact  for  Borrower to make proof of loss,  to adjust and
compromise any claims under policies of property damage insurance,  to appear in
and prosecute any action arising from such property damage  insurance  policies,
to collect and receive the proceeds of property damage insurance,  and to deduct
from  such  proceeds  Lender's  expenses  incurred  in the  collection  of  such
proceeds.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest  and  therefore is
irrevocable.  However, nothing contained in this Section 19 shall require Lender
to incur any expense or take any action.  Lender  may, at Lender's  option,  (1)
hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse  Borrower for the cost
of restoring  and  repairing  the  Mortgaged  Property to the  equivalent of its
original  condition or to a condition approved by Lender (the "Restoration ), or
(2) apply the  balance of such  proceeds  to the  payment  of the  Indebtedness,
whether or not then due.  To the extent  Lender  determines  to apply  insurance
proceeds  to  Restoration,  Lender  shall  do so  in  accordance  with  Lender's
then-current  policies relating to the restoration of casualty damage on similar
multifamily properties.

     (g) Lender shall not exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds to the
payment of the  Indebtedness if all of the following  conditions are met: (1) no
Event of Default (or any event  which,  with the giving of notice or the passage
of time,  or both,  would  constitute  an Event of Default)  has occurred and is
continuing;  (2)  Lender  determines,  in its  discretion,  that  there  will be
sufficient  funds to complete the  Restoration;  (3) Lender  determines,  in its
discretion,  that the rental income from the Mortgaged Property after completion
of the  Restoration  will be sufficient  to meet all  operating  costs and other
expenses,   Imposition  Deposits,   deposits  to  reserves  and  loan  repayment
obligations  relating to the Mortgaged Property;  and (4) Lender determines,  in
its discretion, that the Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (A)
one year before the maturity  date of the Note or (B) one year after the date of
the loss or casualty.

     (h) If the  Mortgaged  Property  is sold at a  foreclosure  sale or  Lender
acquires title to the Mortgaged Property,  Lender shall automatically succeed to
all rights of Borrower in and to

                                       24
<PAGE>

any  insurance  policies  and  unearned  insurance  premiums  and  in and to the
proceeds  resulting from any damage to the Mortgaged Property prior to such sale
or acquisition.

     20. CONDEMNATION.

     (a)  Borrower  shall  promptly  notify  Lender of any action or  proceeding
relating to any condemnation or other taking, or conveyance in lieu thereof,  of
all or any  part of the  Mortgaged  Property,  whether  direct  or  indirect  (a
"Condemnation").  Borrower shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding  relating to any Condemnation  unless otherwise directed by Lender in
writing.  Borrower  authorizes  and  appoints  Lender  as  attorney-in-fact  for
Borrower to commence,  appear in and prosecute,  in Lender's or Borrower's name,
any  action  or  proceeding  relating  to  any  Condemnation  and to  settle  or
compromise any claim in connection with any Condemnation. This power of attorney
is coupled  with an interest  and  therefore is  irrevocable.  However,  nothing
contained in this Section 20 shall  require  Lender to incur any expense or take
any action. Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all right, title and
interest  of  Borrower  in and to any award or payment  with  respect to (i) any
Condemnation, or any conveyance in lieu of Condemnation,  and (ii) any damage to
the Mortgaged  Property caused by governmental  action that does not result in a
Condemnation.

     (b)  Lender may apply  such  awards or  proceeds,  after the  deduction  of
Lender's  expenses  incurred  in the  collection  of such  amounts,  at Lender's
option, to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to the payment
of the  Indebtedness,  with the  balance,  if any, to  Borrower.  Unless  Lender
otherwise  agrees in writing,  any  application of any awards or proceeds to the
Indebtedness  shall  not  extend  or  postpone  the  due  date  of  any  monthly
installments  referred  to in the  Note,  Section  7 of this  Instrument  or any
Collateral Agreement, or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees
to execute  such  further  evidence of  assignment  of any awards or proceeds as
Lender may require.

     21. TRANSFERS OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR INTERESTS IN BORROWER. [RIGHT TO
UNLIMITED TRANSFERS -- WITH LENDER APPROVAL].

     (a) The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an Event

               interests in Borrower;


                                       25

          (3)  if  Borrower  is a  general  partnership  or a joint  venture,  a
               Transfer of any general  partnership or joint venture interest in

          (4)  if Borrower is a limited liability company, a Transfer of (A) any
               membership  interest  in  Borrower  which would cause the Initial

               Borrower, or (B) any membership or other interest of a manager in
               Borrower;

          (5)  if  Borrower  is a  corporation,  (A) the  Transfer of any voting
               stock in Borrower  which  would  cause the Initial  Owners to own
               less than 51% of any class of voting  stock in Borrower or (B) if
               the  outstanding  voting stock in Borrower is held by 100 or more
               shareholders, one or more transfers by a single transferor within
               a 12-month  period  affecting  an aggregate of 5% or more of that
               stock;

          (6)  if Borrower is a trust, (A) a Transfer of any beneficial interest
               in Borrower which would cause the Initial Owners to own less than
               51% of all  the  beneficial  interests  in  Borrower,  or (B) the
               termination  or  revocation  of the  trust,  or (C) the  removal,
               appointment or substitution of a trustee of Borrower; and

          (7)  a Transfer of any interest in a Controlling Entity which, if such

               Default under any of Sections 21(a)(1) through (6) above.

Lender  shall not be  required  to  demonstrate  any  actual  impairment  of its
security  or any  increased  risk of  default  in order to  exercise  any of its
remedies with respect to an Event of Default under this Section 21.

     (b) The  occurrence of any of the following  events shall not constitute an
Event of Default under this Instrument, notwithstanding any provision of Section
21(a) to the contrary:

          (1)  a Transfer to which Lender has consented;

          (2)  a Transfer that occurs by devise, descent, or by operation of law
               upon the death of a natural person;

          (3)  the grant of a leasehold interest in an individual  dwelling unit

               security interests other than those created by the Loan Documents
               or consented to by Lender;


                                       26
<PAGE>

          (5)  the grant of an easement,  if before the grant Lender  determines
               that the easement  will not  materially  affect the  operation or
               value of the  Mortgaged  Property  or  Lender's  interest  in the
               Mortgaged Property, and Borrower pays to Lender, upon demand, all
               costs  and  expenses   incurred  by  Lender  in  connection  with
               reviewing Borrower's request; and

          (6)  the creation of a  mechanic's,  materialman's,  or judgment  lien
               against  the  Mortgaged  Property  which is released of record or
               otherwise remedied to Lender's satisfaction within 30 days of the
               date of creation.

     (c) Lender shall  consent,  without any adjustment to the rate at which the
Indebtedness  secured by this Instrument bears interest or to any other economic
terms of the  Indebtedness,  to a Transfer  that would  otherwise  violate  this
Section  21 if,  prior  to the  Transfer,  Borrower  has  satisfied  each of the
following requirements:

          (1)  the submission to Lender of all information required by Lender to
               make the determination required by this Section 21(c);

          (2)  the absence of any Event of Default;

          (3)  the transferee meets all of the eligibility,  credit,  management
               and other  standards  (including but not limited to any standards
               with  respect to previous  relationships  between  Lender and the
               transferee and the  organization of the  transferee)  customarily
               applied  by Lender at the time of the  proposed  Transfer  to the
               approval of  borrowers  in  connection  with the  origination  or
               purchase of similar mortgages on multifamily properties;

          (4)  the  Mortgaged  Property,  at the time of the proposed  Transfer,
               meets  all  standards  as to  its  physical  condition  that  are
               customarily  applied  by  Lender  at the  time  of  the  proposed
               Transfer to the approval of  properties  in  connection  with the
               origination  or  purchase  of similar  mortgages  on  multifamily
               properties;

          (5)  in the case of a  Transfer  of all or any  part of the  Mortgaged
               Property,  (A) the  execution by the  transferee of an assumption
               agreement  that is  acceptable  to Lender and that,  among  other
               things,  requires the  transferee to perform all  obligations  of
               Borrower  set forth in the Note,  this  Instrument  and any other
               Loan Documents,  and may require that the transferee  comply with
               any  provisions  of this  Instrument  or any other Loan  Document
               which  previously  may have been  waived by Lender,  and (B) if a
               guaranty has been executed and  delivered in connection  with the
               Note,  this  Instrument or any of the other Loan  Documents,  the
               transferee causes one or more individuals or entities  acceptable
               to Lender to execute  and  deliver to Lender a guaranty in a form
               acceptable to Lender;


                                       27
<PAGE>

          (6)  in the  case  of a  Transfer  of any  interest  in a  Controlling
               Entity,  if  a  guaranty  has  been  executed  and  delivered  in
               connection  with the Note,  this  Instrument  or any of the other
               Loan Documents,  the Borrower  causes one or more  individuals or
               entities  acceptable to Lender to execute and deliver to Lender a
               guaranty in a form acceptable to Lender; and

          (7)  Lender's receipt of all of the following:

               (A)  a review fee in the amount of $2,000;

               (B)  a  transfer  fee in an  amount  equal  to 1% of  the  unpaid
                    principal balance of the Indebtedness immediately before the
                    applicable Transfer; and

               (C)  the  amount  of  Lender's   out-of-pocket  costs  (including
                    reasonable   attorneys'  fees)  incurred  in  reviewing  the
                    Transfer request.

     22. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  The  occurrence of any one or more of the following
shall constitute an Event of Default under this Instrument:

     (a) any failure by Borrower to pay or deposit when due any amount  required
by the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document;

     (b) any failure by Borrower to maintain the insurance  coverage required by
Section 19;

     (c) any failure by Borrower to comply with the provisions of Section 33;

     (d) fraud or material  misrepresentation  or material omission by Borrower,
any of its officers,  directors,  trustees,  general partners or managers or any
guarantor  in  connection  with  (A)  the  application  for or  creation  of the
Indebtedness,  (B) any  financial  statement,  rent  roll,  or other  report  or
information  provided to Lender during the term of the Indebtedness,  or (C) any
request for  Lender's  consent to any proposed  action,  including a request for
disbursement of funds under any Collateral Agreement;

     (e) any Event of Default under Section 21;

     (f) the commencement of a forfeiture action or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal,  which, in Lender's reasonable judgment,  could result in a forfeiture
of the  Mortgaged  Property or otherwise  materially  impair the lien created by
this Instrument or Lender's interest in the Mortgaged Property;

     (g) any failure by Borrower  to perform any of its  obligations  under this
Instrument  (other than those  specified in Sections  22(a) through (f)), as and
when  required,  which  continues  for a period of 30 days after  notice of such
failure by Lender to  Borrower.  However,  no such

                                       28

<PAGE>

notice or grace period shall apply in the case of any such failure  which could,
in Lender's  judgment,  absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy
under this Instrument,  result in harm to Lender, impairment of the Note or this
Instrument or any other security given under any other Loan Document;

     (h) any failure by Borrower to perform any of its  obligations  as and when
required  under any Loan Document  other than this  Instrument  which  continues
beyond the applicable cure period, if any, specified in that Loan Document;

     (i)  any  exercise  by the  holder  of any  debt  instrument  secured  by a
mortgage,  deed of trust or deed to secure debt on the  Mortgaged  Property of a
right to declare all amounts due under that debt instrument  immediately due and
payable; and

     (j) Borrower  voluntarily files for bankruptcy  protection under the United
States  Bankruptcy Code or voluntarily  becomes  subject to any  reorganization,
receivership,  insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding pursuant to any
other  federal  or  state  law  affecting  debtor  and  creditor  rights,  or an
involuntary  case is  commenced  against  Borrower by any  creditor  (other than
Lender) of  Borrower  pursuant  to the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code or other
federal or state law affecting  debtor and creditor  rights and is not dismissed
or discharged within 60 days after filing.

     23. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  Each right and remedy provided in this Instrument
is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or any other
Loan  Document or afforded by applicable  law, and each shall be cumulative  and
may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order.

     24. FORBEARANCE.

     (a) Lender may (but shall not be obligated  to) agree with  Borrower,  from
time to time,  and without  giving  notice to, or  obtaining  the consent of, or
having any effect upon the  obligations  of, any  guarantor or other third party
obligor,  to take any of the following  actions:  extend the time for payment of
all or any  part  of the  Indebtedness;  reduce  the  payments  due  under  this
Instrument,  the Note, or any other Loan Document; release anyone liable for the
payment  of any  amounts  under  this  Instrument,  the Note,  or any other Loan
Document;  accept a renewal of the Note; modify the terms and time of payment of
the Indebtedness;  join in any extension or subordination agreement; release any
Mortgaged  Property;  take or release other or additional  security;  modify the
rate of interest or period of  amortization  of the Note or change the amount of
the monthly  installments  payable  under the Note;  and  otherwise  modify this
Instrument, the Note, or any other Loan Document.

     (b) Any  forbearance  by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the
Note,  this  Instrument,  or any other Loan  Document or  otherwise  afforded by
applicable  law,  shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right
or  remedy.  The  acceptance  by  Lender  of  payment  of all or any part of the
Indebtedness  after the due date of such payment,  or in an amount which is

                                       29
<PAGE>

less than the  required  payment,  shall not be a waiver  of  Lender's  right to
require  prompt  payment  when  due of all  other  payments  on  account  of the
Indebtedness or to exercise any remedies for any failure to make prompt payment.
Enforcement by Lender of any security for the Indebtedness  shall not constitute
an election by Lender of  remedies so as to preclude  the  exercise of any other
right  available  to Lender.  Lender's  receipt of any awards or proceeds  under
Sections 19 and 20 shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.

     25. LOAN CHARGES.  If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or
other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any
charge  provided for in any Loan  Document,  whether  considered  separately  or
together with other charges  levied in connection  with any other Loan Document,
violates  that law,  and  Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law,  that
charge is hereby reduced to the extent  necessary to eliminate  that  violation.
The  amounts,  if any,  previously  paid to Lender  in  excess of the  permitted
amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal of the  Indebtedness.
For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of
interest or other  charges  permitted  to be  collected  from  Borrower has been
violated,  all Indebtedness  which  constitutes  interest,  as well as all other
charges levied in connection with the Indebtedness  which  constitute  interest,
shall be deemed to be  allocated  and spread  over the stated  term of the Note.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall
be  effected  in such a manner  that the rate of interest so computed is uniform
throughout the stated term of the Note.

     26. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF  LIMITATIONS.  Borrower hereby waives the right to
assert any statute of  limitations  as a bar to the  enforcement  of the lien of
this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document.

     27.  WAIVER OF  MARSHALLING.  Notwithstanding  the  existence  of any other
security  interests  in the  Mortgaged  Property  held by Lender or by any other
party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of
the  Mortgaged  Property  shall be subjected  to the  remedies  provided in this
Instrument,  the Note, any other Loan Document or applicable  law.  Lender shall
have the  right to  determine  the  order in which  any or all  portions  of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds  realized upon the exercise of such
remedies.  Borrower  and any party who now or in the future  acquires a security
interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive  notice of
this Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets or
to require that any of the  Mortgaged  Property be sold in the inverse  order of
alienation  or that any of the  Mortgaged  Property  be sold in parcels or as an
entirety in  connection  with the exercise of any of the  remedies  permitted by
applicable law or provided in this Instrument.

     28. FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Borrower shall execute,  acknowledge, and deliver,
at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments,
estoppel certificates,  financing statements, transfers and assurances as Lender
may require from time to time in order to better  assure,  grant,  and convey to
Lender the rights intended to be granted,  now or in the future, to Lender under
this Instrument and the Loan Documents.


                                       30
<PAGE>

     29.  ESTOPPEL  CERTIFICATE.  Within 10 days  after a request  from  Lender,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written statement, signed and acknowledged by
Borrower,  certifying to Lender or any person  designated  by Lender,  as of the
date of such  statement,  (i) that the Loan Documents are unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if there have been modifications,  that the Loan Documents
are in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such  modifications);
(ii) the unpaid principal  balance of the Note; (iii) the date to which interest
under the Note has been paid; (iv) that Borrower is not in default in paying the
Indebtedness  or in  performing  or observing any of the covenants or agreements
contained  in this  Instrument  or any of the other Loan  Documents  (or, if the
Borrower is in default,  describing  such  default in  reasonable  detail);  (v)
whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses known to Borrower
against  the  enforcement  of any  right or  remedy  of  Lender  under  the Loan
Documents; and (vi) any additional facts requested by Lender.

     30. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

     (a) This Instrument,  and any Loan Document which does not itself expressly
identify  the law that is to apply to it,  shall be  governed by the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Land is located (the "Property Jurisdiction").

     (b) Borrower  agrees that any  controversy  arising under or in relation to
the  Note,  this  Instrument,  or any other  Loan  Document  shall be  litigated
exclusively  in the  Property  Jurisdiction.  The state and  federal  courts and
authorities with jurisdiction in the Property  Jurisdiction shall have exclusive
jurisdiction  over all  controversies  which shall arise under or in relation to
the  Note,  any  security  for the  Indebtedness,  or any other  Loan  Document.
Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts
for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled
by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise.

     31. NOTICE.

     (a) All  notices,  demands  and other  communications  ("notice")  under or
concerning this Instrument  shall be in writing.  Each notice shall be addressed
to the intended recipient at its address set forth in this Instrument, and shall
be deemed  given on the  earliest  to occur of (1) the date  when the  notice is
received  by the  addressee;  (2) the first  Business  Day  after the  notice is
delivered to a recognized overnight courier service,  with arrangements made for
payment of charges for next Business Day delivery; or (3) the third Business Day
after the notice is  deposited in the United  States mail with postage  prepaid,
certified mail, return receipt  requested.  As used in this Section 31, the term
"Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on
which Lender is not open for business.

     (b) Any party to this  Instrument  may change the address to which  notices
intended  for it are to be directed by means of notice  given to the other party
in accordance with this Section 31. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or
reject  delivery of any notice given in accordance with this Section 31, that it
will  acknowledge,  in writing,  the  receipt of any notice


                                       31
<PAGE>

upon  request by the other  party and that any notice  rejected or refused by it
shall be deemed for  purposes  of this  Section 31 to have been  received by the
rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as conclusively  established
by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the courier service.

     (c) Any notice  under the Note and any other Loan  Document  which does not
specify  how  notices  are to be given  shall be given in  accordance  with this
Section 31.

     32. SALE OF NOTE; CHANGE IN SERVICER. The Note or a partial interest in the
Note  (together with this  Instrument and the other Loan  Documents) may be sold
one or more  times  without  prior  notice to  Borrower.  A sale may result in a
change of the Loan  Servicer.  There also may be one or more changes of the Loan
Servicer  unrelated  to a sale of the  Note.  If there  is a change  of the Loan
Servicer, Borrower will be given notice of the change.

     33. SINGLE ASSET BORROWER. Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower
(a) shall not  acquire any real or personal  property  other than the  Mortgaged
Property and personal  property  related to the operation and maintenance of the
Mortgaged Property; (b) shall not operate any business other than the management
and operation of the Mortgaged  Property;  and (c) shall not maintain its assets
in a way difficult to segregate and identify.

     34.  SUCCESSORS  AND ASSIGNS  BOUND.  This  Instrument  shall bind, and the
rights granted by this Instrument shall inure to, the respective  successors and
assigns of Lender and Borrower.  However, a Transfer not permitted by Section 21
shall be an Event of Default.

     35.  JOINT AND SEVERAL  LIABILITY.  If more than one person or entity signs
this Instrument as Borrower,  the obligations of such persons and entities shall
be joint and several.

     36. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.

     (a) The  relationship  between  Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of
creditor and debtor,  respectively,  and nothing  contained  in this  Instrument
shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower.

     (b) No creditor of any party to this  Instrument  and no other person shall
be a third party  beneficiary  of this  Instrument  or any other Loan  Document.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding  sentence,  (1) any arrangement
(a  "Servicing  Arrangement")  between the Lender and any Loan Servicer for loss
sharing  or  interim   advancement  of  funds  shall  constitute  a  contractual
obligation  of such Loan  Servicer  that is  independent  of the  obligation  of
Borrower for the payment of the Indebtedness,  (2) Borrower shall not be a third
party beneficiary of any Servicing  Arrangement,  and (3) no payment by the Loan
Servicer  under  any  Servicing  Arrangement  will  reduce  the  amount  of  the
Indebtedness.


                                       32
<PAGE>

     37.  SEVERABILITY;  AMENDMENTS.  The invalidity or  unenforceability of any
provision of this Instrument shall not affect the validity or  enforceability of
any other  provision,  and all other  provisions  shall remain in full force and
effect.  This Instrument  contains the entire  agreement among the parties as to
the  rights  granted  and  the  obligations  assumed  in this  Instrument.  This
Instrument  may not be amended  or  modified  except by a writing  signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought.

     38.  CONSTRUCTION.  The  captions  and  headings  of the  sections  of this
Instrument are for convenience  only and shall be disregarded in construing this
Instrument.  Any  reference  in this  Instrument  to an "Exhibit" or a "Section"
shall,  unless  otherwise  explicitly  provided,   be  construed  as  referring,
respectively,  to an Exhibit attached to this Instrument or to a Section of this
Instrument.  All  Exhibits  attached to or referred  to in this  Instrument  are
incorporated by reference into this Instrument. Any reference in this Instrument
to a statute or  regulation  shall be  construed as referring to that statute or
regulation as amended from time to time.  Use of the singular in this  Agreement
includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular. As used in this
Instrument, the term "including" means "including, but not limited to."

     39.  LOAN  SERVICING.  All  actions  regarding  the  servicing  of the loan
evidenced by the Note,  including  the  collection  of payments,  the giving and
receipt  of  notice,  inspections  of the  Property,  inspections  of books  and
records,  and the granting of consents and  approvals,  may be taken by the Loan
Servicer unless Borrower  receives notice to the contrary.  If Borrower receives
conflicting  notices  regarding  the identity of the Loan  Servicer or any other
subject, any such notice from Lender shall govern.

     40.  DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.  Lender may furnish  information  regarding
Borrower  or the  Mortgaged  Property  to  third  parties  with an  existing  or
prospective  interest in the servicing,  enforcement,  evaluation,  performance,
purchase or  securitization  of the  Indebtedness,  including but not limited to
trustees,   master   servicers,   special   servicers,   rating  agencies,   and
organizations  maintaining  databases on the  underwriting  and  performance  of
multifamily  mortgage loans.  Borrower  irrevocably waives any and all rights it
may have under  applicable  law to prohibit such  disclosure,  including but not
limited to any right of privacy.

     41. NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. All information in the application
for the loan submitted to Lender (the "Loan  Application")  and in all financial
statements,  rent rolls, reports,  certificates and other documents submitted in
connection  with the Loan  Application are complete and accurate in all material
respects.  There has been no material adverse change in any fact or circumstance
that would make any such information incomplete or inaccurate.

     42.  SUBROGATION.  If, and to the extent  that,  the  proceeds  of the loan
evidenced by the Note are used to pay,  satisfy or discharge  any  obligation of
Borrower  for the payment of money that is secured by a  pre-existing  mortgage,
deed of trust or other lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property (a "Prior Lien"),
such loan proceeds shall be deemed to have been


                                       33
<PAGE>

advanced by Lender at Borrower's request,  and Lender shall  automatically,  and
without further action on its part, be subrogated to the rights,  including lien
priority,  of the owner or holder of the  obligation  secured by the Prior Lien,
whether or not the Prior Lien is released.

     43. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. At any time during the existence of an Event of
Default,  Lender,  at  Lender's  option,  may  declare  the  Indebtedness  to be
immediately due and payable  without further demand,  and may request Trustee to
exercise the power of sale and Lender may exercise any other remedies  permitted
by applicable law or provided in this  Instrument or in any other Loan Document.
Borrower  acknowledges  that the power of sale granted in this Instrument may be
exercised by Trustee without prior judicial  hearing.  Borrower has the right to
bring an action to assert the  non-existence of an Event of Default or any other
defense of  Borrower  to  acceleration  and sale.  Lender  shall be  entitled to
collect all costs and expenses  incurred in pursuing  such  remedies,  including
attorneys' fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

     If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender or Trustee shall mail copies of
the notice of sale to Borrower and to other persons prescribed by applicable law
in the  manner  provided  by  applicable  law.  Trustee  may sell the  Mortgaged
Property at the time and place and under the terms  designated  in the notice of
sale in one or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine.  Trustee
may postpone  sale of all or any parcel of the  Mortgaged  Property to any later
time on the same  date by  public  announcement  at the  time  and  place of any
previously  scheduled  sale.  Lender  or  Lender's  designee  may  purchase  the
Mortgaged Property at any sale.

     Trustee  shall  deliver to the  purchaser at the sale,  within a reasonable
time after the sale, a deed conveying the Mortgaged Property so sold without any
covenant or warranty,  express or implied.  The recitals in Trustee's deed shall
be prima  facie  evidence  of the  truth of the  statements  contained  in those
recitals.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following  order:
(a) to all  costs and  expenses  of the sale,  including  Trustee's  fees in the
amount allowed by applicable  law,  attorneys' fees and costs of title evidence;
(b) to the  Indebtedness  in such  order  as  Lender,  in  Lender's  discretion,
directs;  and (c) the excess,  if any, to the person or persons legally entitled
to it.

     Lender shall have the right on one or more  occasions  to institute  one or
more  actions  or  proceedings  at law or in equity to  enforce  the  rights and
remedies of Lender under this Instrument.

     Trustee hereby lets the Mortgaged Property to Borrower until a sale is held
under the foregoing  provisions or until the  occurrence of an Event of Default,
upon the following terms and conditions:  Borrower,  and all persons claiming or
possessing  the  Mortgaged  Property or any part  thereof  by,  through or under
Borrower,  shall pay rent therefor during said term at the rate of one cent (14)
per month,  payable monthly upon demand, and shall surrender immediate peaceable
possession of the  Mortgaged  Property and any and every part thereof sold under
the  foregoing  power of sale to the purchaser at such sale,  without  notice or
demand  therefor,  and  shall  and  will


                                       34
<PAGE>

at once,  without  notice,  surrender  possession of the Mortgaged  Property and
every part thereof in the event Lender shall take charge and enter the Mortgaged
Property as provided in this Instrument.

     44.  RELEASE.  Upon payment of the  Indebtedness,  Lender shall release the
lien of this Instrument.  Borrower shall pay Lender's  reasonable costs incurred
in releasing this Instrument.

     45.  FINANCING  STATEMENT.  As  provided  in  Section  2,  this  Instrument
constitutes  a financing  statement  with  respect to any part of the  Mortgaged
Property which is or may become a Fixture and for the purposes of such financing
statement:  (a) the Debtor  shall be  Borrower  and the  Secured  Party shall be
Lender;  (b) the  addresses of Borrower as Debtor and of Lender as Secured Party
are as specified above in the first paragraph of this  Instrument;  (c) the name
of the record owner is Borrower; (d) the types or items of collateral consist of
any part of the Mortgaged Property which is or may become a Fixture; and (e) the
social security number or the federal employer identification number of Borrower
as Debtor is 43-1250566.

     46.  APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER.  Section 3(b) and Section 4(d) are amended by
(i) deleting the following phrase,  each time it appears:  "Lender entering upon
and  taking  and  maintaining  control  of the  Mortgaged  Property,"  and  (ii)
inserting  the  following  new phrase in its place:  "Lender  entering  upon and
taking and  maintaining  control or possession of the Mortgaged  Property or any
equivalent action."

     47. FURTHER  ASSURANCES FOR TRUSTEE.  Borrower shall execute,  acknowledge,
and deliver, at its sole cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances,
assignments,   estoppel  certificates,   financing  statements,   transfers  and
assurances  as Trustee may require from time to time in order to better  assure,
grant,  and convey to Trustee the rights  intended to be granted,  now or in the
future, to Trustee under this Instrument.

     48. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.  Lender, at Lender's option,  with or without cause,
may from time to time  remove  Trustee  and  appoint a  successor  trustee by an
instrument  recorded in the city or county in which this Instrument is recorded.
Without  conveyance  of the  Mortgaged  Property,  the  successor  trustee shall
succeed to all the title,  power and duties  conferred  upon the Trustee in this
Instrument  and by  applicable  law. For purposes of this  Instrument,  the term
"Trustee" means the person  identified as Trustee in the first paragraph of this
Instrument  and any  successor  trustee  appointed  by Lender  pursuant  to this
Section or otherwise appointed as permitted by law.

     49.  WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.  BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A)  COVENANTS  AND
AGREES  NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH  RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE  ARISING  OUT OF
THIS INSTRUMENT OR THE  RELATIONSHIP  BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER
THAT IS  TRIABLE  OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B)  WAIVES  ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
WITH  RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT  THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT  EXISTS


                                       35
<PAGE>

NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN
BY EACH PARTY,  KNOWINGLY AND  VOLUNTARILY  WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT  LEGAL
COUNSEL.

                           MODIFICATIONS TO INSTRUMENT

The following modifications are made to the text of the Instrument that precedes
this Exhibit:

         1.       Borrower covenants and agrees that as long as the Indebtedness
         is  outstanding, (i) David  L. Johnson  must  own  at  least  fifty-one
         percent  (51%)  of  MJS Associates, Inc., and (ii) MJS Associates, Inc.
         shall have a minimum net worth of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and
         No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the "Guarantor Requirements").  Failure
         to maintain the Guarantor Requirements shall be an  additional Event of
         Default under this Instrument

         2.       The  second  sentence  in  paragraph 4(f) shall be modified to
         read as follows:

         Borrower  shall  not  modify the  terms of, or extend or terminate, any
         Lease for non-residential use (including  any Lease on the date of this
         Instrument) without the prior written  consent of Lender, which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         3.       Section 7 is modified to add the following subsection:

                  (f)      Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of Subsection 7(a),
                           Lender  will  not  require  Borrower  to deposit with
                           Lender amounts  sufficient to  accumulate with Lender
                           the entire sum required to pay the
                           [_]  fire, hazard or other insurance premiums,
                           [_]  taxes,
                           [X]  water and sewer charges,
                           [X]  ground rents,
                           [X]  assessments or other charges

                  Borrower must provide Lender with proof of payment of all such
                  Impositions  for which  Lender  is  not  collecting Imposition
                  Deposits on or before the date such Impositions are  due or on
                  the date this Instrument requires such Impositions to be paid.
                  In  the  event that  Borrower  does  not timely pay any of the
                  Impositions, or  fails  to  provide  Lender with proof of such
                  payment, or at any  other time in  Lender's discretion, Lender
                  may  require  Borrower  to  deposit with Lender the Imposition
                  Deposits as provided in Subsection 7(a).

         4.       Section 21(a)(2) is modified to read as follows:

         if  Borrower  is  a limited  partnership, a Transfer of (A) any general
         partnership interest, except  the  special general partnership interest
         of John J. Nooney, provided that John J.

<PAGE>

                  Nooney is not exercising management control over the Borrower,
                  or (B) limited  partnership interests  in Borrower  that would
                  cause the Initial  Owners of Borrower  to own less than 51% of
                  all limited partnership interest in Borrower;

         5.       Section 21(b)  is  supplemented   and  modified  by adding the
following provision:

                  (7)      A  Transfer  of the  Mortgaged  Property  to a single
                           asset  entity  (the "Preapproved Entity")  under  the
                           following conditions:

                           (A)      Borrower  shall  provide Lender with 45 days
                           advance written notice of the proposed transfer.

                           (B)      The  Preapproved  Entity  shall be a limited
                           liability company whose managing member must be Maxus
                           Realty  Trust,  Inc.  ("Maxus") and whose sole member
                           shall  be  Maxus or an  entity  to  which  Maxus  has
                           contributed    or    otherwise   transferred  all  or
                           substantially all  (which shall be not less than 95%)
                           of  its  assets and  of  which Maxus owns directly or
                           indirectly,   a   controlling   interest  (the "Maxus
                           Controlled Entity").

                           (C)      The  management  of  Maxus  and   any  Maxus
                           Controlled   Entity   must   be   experienced  in the
                           ownership  and  management of property similar to the
                           Mortgaged Property, as determined by Lender.

                           (D)      Immediately  after  the  transfer,  David L.
                           Johnson must be  and remain  an executive officer and
                           trustee of Maxus.

                           (E)      The  loan-to-value ratio with respect to the
                           Mortgaged  Property  (calculated as a percentage), as
                           determined by Lender  does  not  exceed  seventy-five
                           (75%) after  taking  into consideration any principal
                           paydown  made  in connection with  Maxus or any Maxus
                           Controlled Entity.  Such loan to value ratio shall be
                           determined  in  Lender's  sole  discretion based upon
                           Lender's  then  current  underwriting  standards  and
                           based upon Lender=s internal valuations.

                           (F)      At least  forty-five (45) days prior to such
                           Transfer, Borrower  must  provide Lender with  all of
                           the material  provisions  of such Transfer including,
                           without  limitation,  the  proposed   date   of  such
                           Transfer,  the  name  and  address  of  Maxus  or any
                           applicable  Maxus  Controlled   Entity,   pro   forma

                           Controlled Entity,  any  offering prospectus of Maxus
                           issued within five years of the date of the Transfer,

<PAGE>


                           (G)      The sole  member  of  the Preapproved Entity
                           shall be Maxus or a Maxus Controlled Entity.



                           (H)      Lender   has   reviewed  and  approved   the
                           documents  transferring  Borrower's  interest  in the
                           Mortgaged Property to the Preapproved Entity.

                           (I)      Lender  has   reviewed   and   approved  the
                           documents  creating  and  governing  the  Preapproved
                           Entity,  including  Maxus  and  any  Maxus Controlled
                           Entity.

                           (J)      The  Preapproved  Entity  executes  Lender's
                           standard  Assumption  Agreement  which  requires  the
                           Preapproved  Entity  to  perform  all  obligations of
                           Borrower  set  forth in the Note, this Instrument and
                           in any other Loan Document.

                           (K)      At the time  of  the  Transfer,  no Event of
                           Default shall have occurred and no event or condition
                           shall  have occurred and be continuing that, with the
                           giving  of  notice  or the passage  of time, or both,
                           would become an Event of Default.

                           (L)      Borrower  pays  to  Lender  upon  demand  by
                           Lender,  the   cost  of  all  title  searches,  title
                           insurance  and  recording costs, and all fees and out

                           the  Transfer  and  at  the time it requests Lender's
                           consent,  Borrower pays a review fee in the amount of
                           $2,000 (which fee shall not be refundable).

                           (M)      Immediately  after  the  Transfer,  Borrower
                           provides  Lender  with  i)  a  title  endorsement  to
                           Lender's  mortgagee's  title policy insuring the lien
                           of  the  Security Instrument changing the name of the
                           Borrower and evidencing that there are no intervening
                           liens  from  the  date  of the title policy until the
                           Transfer;  ii)  a  certified  copy  of  the  recorded
                           assumption  agreement;  and  iii) a certified copy of
                           the recorded transfer deed.

                           (N)      Each Guarantor  (if applicable) reaffirms in
                           writing its respective obligations under any Guaranty
                           and  acknowledges  and  confirms  that  the  Guaranty
                           remains  in   full  force and  effect  and  that each
