                   HOMEPLEX MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

       Homeplex Mortgage Investments Corporation,  a Maryland corporation,  (the
Company)  commenced  operations in July 1988. As described in Note 4 the Company
has  purchased  interests  in  mortgage  certificates  securing   collateralized
mortgage  obligations  (CMOs) and interests  relating to mortgage  participation
certificates (MPCs) (collectively  residual interests).  Since December 1993 the
Company has originated various loans secured by real estate (see Note 3).

       The accompanying  interim financial  statements do not include all of the
information and disclosures  generally required for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management,  however,  all  adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year. These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1994 financial statements and notes thereto.


NOTE 2 - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Basis of Presentation

       The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Homeplex
Mortgage  Investments  Corporation  and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiaries.   All
significant  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

       Income Taxes

       The Company has  elected to be taxed as a real estate  investments  trust
(REIT) under the Internal  Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company must  distribute
annually at least 95% of its taxable income to its stockholders.

       At December 31, 1994, the Company has available, for income tax purposes,
a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $58,000,000. Such loss may be
carried forward, with certain restrictions,  for up to 15 years to offset future
taxable  income,  if any. Until the tax loss  carryforward  is fully utilized or
expires,  the Company will not be required to pay dividends to its  stockholders
except for income that is deemed to be excess inclusion income.

       The income (loss) reported in the  accompanying  financial  statements is
different  than taxable  income (loss) because some income and expense items are
reported in different periods for income tax purposes. The principal differences
relate to the  amortization  of residual  interests  and the  treatment of stock
option expense.

       Residual Interests

       Interests  relating to mortgage  participation  certificates and residual
interest certificates are accounted for as described in Note 4.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents

       Cash and cash  equivalents  include demand  deposits and  certificates of
deposit with maturities of less than three months.

       Amortization of Hedging

       The cost of the Company's LIBOR ceiling rate agreements (see Note 7) were
amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the agreements. Other
expense includes $47,000 and $96,000,  respectively,  related to amortization of
hedging costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994.

       Net Income (Loss) Per Share

       Primary  net income  (loss) per share is  calculated  using the  weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents.  Common
stock equivalents consist of dilutive stock options. Net income (loss) per share
is the same for both primary and fully diluted calculations.

       Reclassification

       Certain  balances in the prior year have been  reclassified to conform to
the current year's presentation.


NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE LOANS

<TABLE>

       The following is a summary of real estate loans at June 30, 1995:

       At June 30, 1995,  all of the  Company's  loans are secured by properties
located in Arizona.  As a result of this geographic  concentration,  unfavorable
economic  conditions  in Arizona  could  increase the  likelihood of defaults on
these  loans and affect the  Company's  ability to  protect  the  principal  and
interest on such loans following  foreclosures upon the real properties securing
such loans.


NOTE 4 - RESIDUAL INTERESTS

       The  Company  owns   residual   interests  in   collateralized   mortgage
obligations (CMOs) and residual interests in mortgage participation certificates
(MPCs)  (collectively  residual interests) with respect to which elections to be
treated as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) have been made.

Residual Interest Certificates

       The Company owns 100% of the residual interest certificates  representing
the residual  interests in five series of CMOs secured by mortgage  certificates
and cash  funds  held by  trustee.  The CMOs have  been  issued  through  Westam
Mortgage  Financial   Corporation   (Westam)  or  American  Southwest  Financial
Corporation  (ASW). The mortgage  certificates  securing the CMOs all have fixed
interest  rates.  Certain of the classes of CMOs have fixed  interest  rates and
certain have  interest  rates that are  determined  monthly  based on the London
Interbank  Offered Rates (LIBOR) for one month Eurodollar  deposits,  subject to
specified maximum interest rates.

       Each  series  of CMOs  consists  of  several  serially  maturing  classes
collateralized by mortgage certificates.  Generally, principal payments received
on  the  mortgage   certificates,   including   prepayments   on  such  mortgage
certificates,  are  applied  to  principal  payments  on the  classes of CMOs in
accordance with the respective  indentures.  Scheduled payments of principal and
interest  on  the  mortgage  certificates  securing  each  series  of  CMOs  and
reinvestment  earnings  thereon  are  intended to be  sufficient  to make timely
payments  of  interest on such series and to retire each class of such series by
its stated maturity.  Certain series of CMOs are subject to redemption according
to specific terms of the respective indentures.

       The  Company's  residual  interest  certificates  entitle  the Company to
receive the  excess,  if any, of  payments  received  from the pledged  mortgage
certificates  together with reinvestment income thereon over amounts required to
make debt service payments on the related CMOs and to pay related administrative
expenses  of  the  REMICs.  The  Company  also  has  the  right,  under  certain
conditions, to cause an early redemption of the CMOs. Under the early redemption
feature, the mortgage certificates are sold at the then current market price and
the CMOs  repaid at par value.  The  Company is entitled to any excess cash flow
from such early  redemptions.  The conditions under which such early redemptions
may be elected vary but generally cannot be done until the remaining outstanding
CMO balance is less than 10% of the original balance.

Interests In Mortgage Participation Certificates

       The Company  owns  residual  interests  in REMICs  with  respect to three
separate  series of Mortgage  Participation  Certificates  (MPCs)  issued by the
Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC)  or by the  Federal  National
Mortgage  Association  (FNMA).  The Company's MPC residual interests entitle the
Company to receive  its  proportionate  share of the excess (if any) of payments
received from the mortgage  certificates  underlying the MPCs over principal and
interest  required to be passed through to the holders of such MPCs. The Company
is not  entitled  to  reinvestment  income  earned  on the  underlying  mortgage
certificates,  is not required to pay any administrative expenses related to the
MPCs and does not have the right to elect  early  termination  of any of the MPC
classes. The mortgage  certificates  underlying the MPCs all have fixed interest
rates.  Certain of the classes of the MPCs have fixed interest rates and certain
have interest rates that are  determined  monthly based on LIBOR or based on the
Monthly  Weighted  Average Cost of Funds (COFI) for  Eleventh  District  Savings
Institutions  as  published  by the  Federal  Home Loan  Bank of San  Francisco,
subject to specified maximum interest rates.

       The following  summarizes the Company's  investment in residual interests
at June 30, 1995:

                                                                    Company's

                       Ended June 30,            Ended June 30,

       The Company  accounts for residual  interests  using the  prospective net
level yield method.  Under this method, a residual  interest is recorded at cost
and  amortized  over the life of the  related  CMO or MPC  issuance.  The  total
expected cash flow is allocated between principal and interest as follows:

       1. An effective  yield is calculated as of the date of purchase  based on
       the purchase price and anticipated future cash flows.

       2.   In the initial accounting period,  interest income is accrued on the
            investment  balance using the effective  yield  calculated as of the
            date of purchase.

       3.   Cash received on the investment is first applied to accrued interest
            with any  excess  reducing  the  recorded  principal  balance of the
            investment.

       4.   At each reporting date, the effective yield is recalculated based on
            the amortized cost of the investment and the  then-current  estimate
            of the remaining future cash flows.

       5.   The  recalculated  effective  yield is then used to accrue  interest
            income  on  the  investment  balance  in the  subsequent  accounting
            period.

       6.   The  above  procedure  continues  until  all  cash  flows  from  the
            investment have been received.


       At the end of each period, the amortized balance of the investment should
equal  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  cash  flows  discounted  at  the
newly-calculated effective yield.

       In May 1993 the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,  "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities".  SFAS No. 115 is applicable
to debt  securities  including  investments  in  REMIC  residual  interests  and
requires all investments to be classified into one of three categories:  held to
maturity,  available  for sale,  or trading.  The Company  acquired its residual
interests  without the intention to resell the assets.  The Company has both the
intent and ability to hold these  investments  to maturity  and  believes  these
investments meet the "held to maturity" criteria of SFAS No. 115. Under SFAS No.
115,  if a  residual  interest  is  determined  to  have  other  than  temporary
impairment,  the residual  interest is written down to fair value. For the three
and six  months  ended  June 30,  1994,  the  Company  incurred  net  charges of
$1,178,000 and $1,493,000,  respectively,  to record impaired residual interests
at fair value. There were no charges for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995.

       At June 30,  1995,  the  estimated  prospective  net  level  yield of the
Company's residual interests, in the aggregate, is 20% without early redemptions
or terminations  being  considered and 43% if early  redemptions or terminations
are  considered.  At June 30, 1995,  the  estimated  fair value of the Company's
residual  interests,  in the  aggregate,  approximates  the Company's  aggregate
carrying value.

       The projected  yield and estimated  fair value of the Company's  residual
interests are based on  prepayment  and interest  rate  assumptions  at June 30,
1995.  There will be differences,  which may be material,  between the projected
yield and the actual  yield and the fair  value of the  residual  interests  may
change significantly over time.


NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

       On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned,  limited purpose  subsidiary of the
Company  issued  $31,000,000  of Secured  Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional  investors. The Notes bear interest at 7.81% and require quarterly
payments of principal and interest with the balance due on February 15, 1998. In
connection  with the  financing,  the Company  paid fees of  $635,000  which are
included in other assets in the accompanying  consolidated balance sheet and are
being  amortized to interest  expense over the life of the financing.  The Notes
are secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam 3, Westam 5,
Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA  1988-24 and FNMA 1988-25 (see Note 4), and by Funds held
by the Note Trustee.  The Company used $3,100,000 of the proceeds to establish a
reserve  fund.  The  reserve  fund,  which has a  specified  maximum  balance of
$7,750,000,  is to be used to make the scheduled principal and interest payments
on the Notes if the cash flow available from the collateral is not sufficient to
make  the  scheduled  payments.  Depending  on the  level of  certain  specified
financial  ratios relating to the collateral,  the cash flow from the collateral
is required to either  prepay the Notes at par,  increase the reserve fund up to
its $7,750,000  maximum or is remitted to the Company.  At June 30, 1995,  Funds
held by Trustee consists of $5,678,000 in the reserve fund and $568,000 of other
funds pledged under the Indenture.


NOTE 6 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

       Under a revolving  line of credit  agreement with a bank, the Company may
borrow up to  $5,000,000,  upon payment of a 1/2%  commitment  fee with interest
payable  monthly at prime plus 1/2%.  Such advances are to be secured by certain
of the Company's real estate loans with the amount advanced equal to between 40%
to 60% of the  principal  amount of the real  estate  loans  pledged.  Only real
estate  loans  approved by the bank are  eligible for  advances.  The  agreement
contains certain  financial  covenants and expires on May 5, 1996.  Through June
30, 1995, the Company has not drawn upon the line of credit.


NOTE 7 - HEDGING

       On May 12, 1992, the Company  entered into a LIBOR ceiling rate agreement
with a bank for a fee of $245,000. The agreement,  which had a term of two years
beginning July 1, 1992, required the bank to pay a monthly amount to the Company
equal to the product of $175,000,000  multiplied by the  percentage,  if any, by
which actual  one-month LIBOR (measured on the first business day of each month)
exceeded 9.0%.  Through the  expiration of the agreement on July 1, 1994,  LIBOR
remained under 9.0% and, accordingly, no amounts were paid under the agreement.


ITEM 2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of  Financial Condition, Results
         of Operations and Interest Rates and Other Information

Results of Operations For The Three And Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

       The Company had net income of $335,000 or $.03 per share and  $798,000 or
$.08 per share,  respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
compared to net losses of  $1,094,000  or $.11 per share and  $1,769,000 or $.18
per share for the comparable periods in 1994.

       The Company's  income from mortgage assets was $1,078,000 and $2,181,000,
respectively,  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1995 as compared to
losses of $333,000  and $161,000 for the  comparable  periods in 1994.  The 1994
amounts are net of charges of $1,178,000 and $1,493,000,  respectively,  for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1994, to writedown  the  Company's  residual
interests. See "Interest Rates and Prepayments".

       Interest  income  on  real  estate  loans  increased  from  $283,000  and
$401,000,  respectively,  for the three and six months  ended  June 30,  1994 to
$622,000 and $1,197,000,  respectively, for the comparable period in 1995 due to
the expansion of the Company's real estate  lending  programs.  See  "Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Commitments".

       The  Company's  interest  expense  declined  from  $363,000 and $792,000,
respectively,  for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1994 to $228,000 and
$478,000 for the comparable  periods in 1995 as a result of the Company reducing
its long-term debt.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments

       The Company  raised  $80,593,000  in connection  with its initial  public
offering on July 27, 1988.  The proceeds were  immediately  utilized to purchase
residual interests. Subsequently, through October 1988, the Company purchased an
additional $59,958,000 of residual interests which were initially financed using
a combination of borrowings under  repurchase  agreements and the Company's bank
line of credit.  The Company has not  purchased  any  residual  interests  since
October 1988.

       Since December 1993, the Company has originated real estate loans secured
by various  first  deeds of trust on real  properties  located in  Arizona.  The
Company's loan program seeks higher returns by targeting loan  opportunities  to
which the  Company  can respond on a more  timely  basis than  traditional  real
estate  lenders.  At June 30, 1995,  all of the  Company's  loans are secured by
properties  located in Arizona.  As a result of this  geographic  concentration,
unfavorable  economic  conditions  in Arizona could  increase the  likelihood of
defaults  on these  loans and  affect  the  Company's  ability  to  protect  the
principal  and  interest  on such  loans  following  foreclosures  upon the real
properties  securing such loans.  The Company may, in the future,  make loans on
properties  located  outside of  Arizona.  At June 30, 1995 the  Company's  real
estate loans  outstanding  total  $6,095,000  and bear interest at 16%,  payable
monthly, with all principal due within one year.

       On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned  limited-purpose  subsidiary  of the
Company  issued  $31,000,000  of Secured  Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional  investors. The Notes bear interest at 7.81% and require quarterly
payments of principal  and  interest  with the balance due on February 15, 1998.
The Notes are secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam 3,
Westam 5, Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA  1988-24 and FNMA  1988-25 and by funds held by
the Note  Trustee.  The Company used  $3,100,000  of the proceeds to establish a
reserve fund.  The reserve fund has a specified  maximum  balance of $7,750,000,
and is to be used to make the scheduled  principal and interest  payments on the
Notes if the cash flow  available  from the collateral is not sufficient to make
the scheduled  payments.  Depending on the level of certain specified  financial
ratios relating to the collateral, the cash flow from the collateral is required
to either repay the Notes at par, increase the reserve fund up to its $7,750,000
maximum or is remitted to the Company.  At June 30, 1995,  $6,246,000 is held by
the Note Trustee in the reserve and other funds under the Indenture.

       Under a revolving  line of credit  agreement with a bank, the Company may
borrow up to  $5,000,000,  upon payment of a 1/2%  commitment  fee with interest
payable  monthly at prime plus 1/2%.  Such advances are to be secured by certain
of the Company's real estate loans with the amount advanced equal to between 40%
to 60% of the  principal  amount of the real  estate  loans  pledged.  Only real
estate  loans  approved by the bank are  eligible for  advances.  The  agreement
contains certain  financial  covenants and expires on May 5, 1996.  Through June
30, 1995, the Company has not drawn upon the line of credit.

       As a real estate  investment trust (REIT),  the Company is not subject to
income tax at the corporate  level as long as it distributes  95% of its taxable
income  to its  stockholders.  At  December  31,  1994,  the  Company  has a net
operating  loss  carryforward,   for  income  tax  purposes,   of  approximately
$58,000,000.  This tax loss may be carried forward,  with certain  restrictions,
for up to 15 years to offset future taxable  income,  if any. Until the tax loss
carryforward  is fully utilized or expires,  the Company will not be required to
distribute  dividends to its stockholders except for income that is deemed to be
excess  inclusion  income.  The Company  anticipates  that future cash flow from
operations will be used for payment of operating  expenses and debt service with
the  remainder,  if any,  available  for  investment  in mortgage or real estate
related  assets.  At June 30, 1995, the Company has $10,193,000 of cash and cash
equivalents available for investment purposes.

Interest Rates and Prepayments

       One of the Company's  major sources of income is its income from residual
interests  which  consists  of the  Company's  investment  in eight real  estate
mortgage  investment conduits ("REMICs") as described in Note 4 to the financial
statements.  The Company's cash flow and return on investment  from its residual
interests are highly  sensitive to the prepayment  rate on the related  mortgage
certificates and the variable interest rates on variable rate CMOs and MPCs.

       At June 30, 1995, the Company's proportionate share of floating-rate CMOs
and MPCs in the eight  REMICs  is  $44,484,000  in  principal  amount  that pays
interest  based on LIBOR and  $5,000,000 in principal  amount that pays interest
based on COFI.  Consequently,  absent  any  changes in  prepayment  rates on the
related  mortgage  certificates,  increases in LIBOR and COFI will  decrease the
Company's  net  income,  and  decreases  in LIBOR  and COFI  will  increase  the
Company's net income. The average LIBOR and COFI rates were as follows:

                                   Three Months       Six Months
                                   Ended June 30,    Ended June 30,  At June 30,
                                  1995      1994     1995     1994     1995
                                  ----      ----     ----     ----  ----------

LIBOR.............................6.08%     4.00%    6.07%    3.67%    6.06%
COFI .............................5.00%     3.66%    4.78%    3.73%    5.06%

       On May 12, 1992, the Company  entered into a LIBOR ceiling rate agreement
with a bank for a fee of $245,000. The agreement,  which had a term of two years
beginning July 1, 1992, required the bank to pay a monthly amount to the Company
equal to the product of $175,000,000  multiplied by the  percentage,  if any, by
which actual  one-month LIBOR (measured on the first business day of each month)
exceeded 9.0%.  Through the  expiration of the agreement on July 1, 1994,  LIBOR
remained under 9.0% and, accordingly, no amounts were paid under the agreement.

       The Company's cash flow and return on investment from residual  interests
also is sensitive to prepayment rates on the mortgage  certificates securing the
CMOs and underlying the MPCs. In general,  slower  prepayment rates will tend to
increase the cash flow and return on investment on  investment  from  interests.
The rate of principal  prepayments on mortgage  certificates  is influenced by a
variety  of  economic,   geographic,  social  and  other  factors.  In  general,
prepayments  of the  mortgage  certificates  should  increase  when the  current
mortgage interest rates fall below the interest rates on the fixed rate mortgage
loans underlying the mortgage certificates.  Conversely, to the extent that then
current mortgage  interest rates exceed the interest rates on the mortgage loans
underlying the mortgage certificates,  prepayments of such mortgage certificates
should  decrease.  Prepayment  rates  also  may be  affected  by the  geographic
location of the mortgage loans underlying the mortgage certificates,  conditions
in mortgage  loan,  housing  and  financial  markets,  the  assumability  of the
mortgage loans and general economic conditions.

       The low mortgage  interest rates in effect during the first six months of
1994 caused significant mortgage  refinancings,  resulting in a writedown of the
Company's residual interests of $1,178,000 and $1,493,000, respectively, for the
three and six  months  ended June 30,  1994.  Mortgage  rates have  subsequently
increased with a resulting decline in mortgage refinancing activity,  therefore,
no writedowns were required for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

Section 1.  Annual Meetings.

                  The annual  meeting  of the  stockholders  of the  Corporation
shall be held on such date  within the month of June (or such other date  within
each calendar year) as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Not less than ten nor more than 90 days' written or printed  notice  stating the
place, day and hour of each annual meeting shall be given in the manner provided
in Section 1 of Article IX hereof.  The business to be  transacted at the annual
meetings shall include the election of directors and any other  business  within
the power of the  Corporation.  All annual meetings shall be general meetings at
which any business may be considered  without having been specified as a purpose
in the notice unless otherwise required by law.

Section 2.  Special Meetings Called by Chairman of the Board, President or Board
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Directors.
- ------------

                  At any time in the interval between annual  meetings,  special
meetings of  stockholders  may be called by the Chairman of the Board, or by the
President,  or by the Board of Directors.  Not less than ten days' nor more than
90 days' written notice stating the place,  day and hour of such meeting and the
matters proposed to be acted on thereat shall be given in the manner provided in
Section l of Article IX. No business shall be transacted at any special  meeting
except that specified in the notice.

Section 3.  Special Meeting Called by Stockholders.
- --------------------------------------------------

                  Upon the request in writing  delivered to the Secretary by the
stockholders  entitled to cast at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast
at the meeting,  it shall be the duty of the Secretary to call a special meeting
of the  stockholders.  Such request  shall state the purpose of such meeting and
the  matters  proposed  to be acted on  thereat,  but no such  meeting  shall be
required  to  be  called  for  the  election  of  directors   except  under  the
circumstances  set forth in Section 10 of Article I or Sections  7(b) or 7(c) of
Article II of these Bylaws.  The Secretary shall inform such stockholders of the
reasonably  estimated  costs of preparing and mailing the notice of the meeting,
and upon payment to the Corporation of such costs,  the Secretary shall give not
less than ten nor more than 90 days'  notice of the time,  place and  purpose of
the meeting in the manner provided in Section 1 of Article IX. Unless  requested
by stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast
at the  meeting,  a special  meeting  need not be called to consider  any matter
which is  substantially  the same as a matter voted on at any special meeting of
the stockholders held during the preceding 12 months.

Section 4.  Place of Meetings.
- -----------------------------

                  All meetings of  stockholders  shall be held at the  principal
executive  offices of the  Corporation  or at such other place within the United
States  as may be  fixed  from  time to  time  by the  Board  of  Directors  and
designated in the notice.

Section 5.  Quorum.
- ------------------

                  At any meeting of  stockholders  the  presence in person or by
proxy of  stockholders  entitled to cast a majority of the votes  entitled to be
cast at the meeting shall constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a quorum,  the
Chairman  (or other  presiding  officer)  of the  meeting,  or the  stockholders
present in person or by proxy acting by majority  vote,  may adjourn the meeting
from time to time without notice other than by announcement at the meeting,  but
not for a period  exceeding 120 days after the record date, until a quorum shall
attend.  The  stockholders  present  in person  or by proxy at a duly  organized
meeting may continue to conduct business,  notwithstanding  withdrawal of enough
stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 6.  Adjourned Meetings.
- ------------------------------

                  A meeting of  stockholders  convened  on the date for which it
was called (or one adjourned to achieve a quorum as above  provided in Section 5
of this  Article) may be  adjourned  from time to time by the Chairman (or other
presiding officer) of the meeting,  or by the stockholders  present in person or
by proxy acting by majority vote,  without further notice except by announcement
at the meeting,  to a date not more than 120 days after the record date, and any
business  may be  transacted  at any  adjourned  meeting  which  could have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 7.  Voting.
- ------------------

                  A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders
duly  called and at which a quorum is  present  shall be  sufficient  to elect a
director.  Each share of stock may be voted for as many individuals as there are
directors  to be elected  and for whose  election  the share is  entitled  to be
voted.  A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of  stockholders,  duly called
and at which a quorum  is  present,  shall be  sufficient  to take or  authorize
action upon any other matter which may properly come before the meeting,  unless
more than a majority  of votes cast is  required by statute or by the Charter or
these  Bylaws.  The  Board  of  Directors  may  fix  the  record  date  for  the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote in the manner provided in Article
VIII, Section 3 of these Bylaws.  Unless otherwise provided in the Charter, each
outstanding share of stock,  regardless of class,  shall be entitled to one vote
on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 8.  Proxies.
- -------------------

                  A  stockholder  may vote the shares owned of record  either in
person or by proxy executed in writing and signed by the  stockholder or by duly
authorized  attorney-in-fact.  No proxy  shall be valid after 11 months from its
date,  unless  otherwise  provided  in the  proxy.  In the case of stock held of
record by more than one person,  any  co-owner or  co-fiduciary  may execute the
proxy without the joinder of the  co-owner(s) or  co-fiduciary(ies),  unless the
Secretary  of  the  Corporation  is  notified  in  writing  by any  co-owner  or
co-fiduciary  that  the  joinder  of more  than  one is to be  required.  At all
meetings of  stockholders,  the proxies  shall be filed with and verified by the
Secretary  of the  Corporation,  or,  if the  meeting  shall so  decide,  by the
Secretary of the meeting.

Section 9.  Order of Business.
- -----------------------------

                  At all meetings of stockholders,  any stockholder  present and
entitled to vote in person or by proxy shall be entitled to require,  by written
request to the Chairman of the meeting,  that the order of business  shall be as
follows:

                  (1)  Organization

                  (2) Proof of notice of  meeting or of  waivers  thereof.  (The
certificate of the Secretary of the  Corporation,  or the affidavit of any other
person  who  mailed or  published  the notice or caused the same to be mailed or
published, shall be proof of service of notice.)

                  (3) Submission by Secretary of the Corporation to the Chairman
(or  other  presiding  officer)  of the  meeting  of a list of the  stockholders
entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy.

                  (4) A reading of unapproved  minutes of preceding  meetings of
stockholders and action thereon.

                  (5)  Reports.

                  (6) If an annual meeting, or a special meeting called for that
purpose, the election of directors.

                  (7)  Unfinished business.

                  (8)  New business.

                  (9)  Adjournment.

Section 10.  Removal of Directors.
- ---------------------------------

                  At any  special  meeting  of the  stockholders  called  in the
manner provided for by this Article,  the stockholders,  by the affirmative vote
of a  majority  of all the  votes  entitled  to be  cast  for  the  election  of
directors,  may remove any  director or directors  from office,  with or without
cause,  and may elect a successor or successors to fill any resulting  vacancies
for the remainder of the term.

Section 11.  Informal Action by Stockholders.
- --------------------------------------------

                  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
stockholders  may be taken  without a meeting if a consent  in  writing  setting
forth such action is signed by all the stockholders entitled to vote thereon and
such consent is filed with the records of stockholders' meetings.

Section 12  Advance Notice of Matters to be Presented at an Annual Meeting of

shall have been properly  brought  before the meeting as set forth below.  To be
properly  brought before an annual meeting,  such business must (1) be specified
in  the  notice  of  the  meeting  (or  any  supplement  thereto)  given  by the
Corporation  pursuant  to  Section 1 of Article  IX of these  bylaws,  or (2) be
brought  before the meeting by or under the  direction of the Board of Directors
(or the  Chairman of the Board or the  President),  or (3) be  properly  brought
before  the  meeting  by a  stockholder.  In  addition  to any other  applicable
requirements,  for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary.  To be timely, such stockholder's  notice must be delivered to or
mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal  executive  offices of the
Corporation,  not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days  prior to the  meeting
(or, with respect to a proposal  required to be included in the Company's  proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or its
successor  provision,  the earlier date such proposal was  received);  provided,
however,  that in the  event  that less  than 30 days'  notice  or prior  public
disclosure  of the date of the  meeting  is  given  or made by the  Corporation,
notice by the  stockholder to be timely must be so received by the Secretary not
later than the close of  business on the 10th day  following  the earlier of the
day on which the  Corporation's  notice of the date of the  annual  meeting  was
mailed or the day on which the Corporation's first public disclosure of the date
of the annual meeting was made. A  stockholder's  notice to the Secretary  shall
set forth as to each matter the stockholder  proposes to bring before the annual
meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the
annual  meeting  and the  reasons  for  conducting  such  business at the annual
meeting,  (ii) the name and address of the stockholder  proposing such business,
(iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation  which are  beneficially
owned by the stockholder,  and (iv) any material  interest of the stockholder in
such business.

                  Notwithstanding  anything in these Bylaws to the contrary,  no
business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance  with the
procedures set forth in this Section 12.

                  The Chairman (or other presiding officer) at the meeting shall
have the  authority,  if the facts  warrant,  to determine that business was not
properly  brought  before the meeting in accordance  with the provisions of this
Section  12, and if he should so  determine,  he shall so declare to the meeting
and any such  business  not  properly  brought  before the meeting  shall not be
transacted.

Section 13.  Advance Notice of Nominees for Directors.
- -----------------------------------------------------

                  Only  persons  who  are  nominated  in  accordance   with  the
following  procedures shall be eligible for election as directors at any meeting
of  stockholders  held after the annual meeting in 1995.  Nominations of persons
for  election to the Board of  Directors  of the  Corporation  may be made at an
annual meeting of  stockholders  or at a special  meeting of  stockholders as to
which the notice of meeting provides for election of directors,  by or under the
direction of the Board of Directors,  or by any  nominating  committee or person
appointed by the Board of Directors,  or by any  stockholder of the  Corporation
entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies  with
the notice procedures set forth in this Section 13. Such nominations, other than
those  made by or  under  the  direction  of the  Board of  Directors  or by any
nominating committee appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant
to timely notice in writing to the Secretary.  To be timely,  such stockholder's
notice  shall be  delivered  to or mailed and  received by the  Secretary at the
principal  executive  offices of the  Corporation not less than 20 days nor more
than 30 days prior to the  meeting;  provided,  however,  that in the event that
less than 30 days' notice or prior public  disclosure of the date of the meeting
is given or made by the Corporation, notice by the stockholder to be timely must
be so received by the  Secretary no later than the close of business on the 10th
day  following the earlier of the day on which the  Corporation's  notice of the
date of the  meeting  was  mailed  or the day on which the  Corporation's  first
public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made. Such stockholder's notice
shall set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate
for election or re-election as a director,  (i) the name, age,  business address
and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment
of the person,  (iii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation
which are  beneficially  owned by the  person,  and (iv) any  other  information
relating to the person that is required to be  disclosed  in  solicitations  for
proxies for  election  of  directors  pursuant to Rule 14a under the  Securities

                  The business and affairs of the  Corporation  shall be managed

stockholders,  the Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization
and the  transaction of other  business.  No notice of the annual meeting of the
Board of Directors need be given if it is held immediately  following the annual
meeting of  stockholders  and at the same place.  Other regular  meetings of the
Board of  Directors  may be held at such  times  and at such  places,  within or

present  may  adjourn  the  meeting  from  time to  time,  but not for a  period
exceeding ten days at any one time or 60 days in all,  without notice other than

adjourned  meeting  at which a quorum  shall be  present,  any  business  may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
Except as  hereinafter  provided or as  otherwise  provided by the Charter or by
law,  directors shall act by a vote of a majority of those members in attendance
at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Section 6.  Notice of Meetings.

Board  by a vote of a  majority  of  directors  then in  office,  although  such
majority is less than a quorum.  If the Corporation seeks to remain qualified as
a real estate investment trust, then any replacement for an Independent Director
shall be nominated by a majority of any Independent  Directors  remaining on the
Board.

                  (b) If the  vacancy  occurs  as a result of the  removal  of a
director by the  stockholders,  the  stockholders  may elect a successor  at the
meeting at which the removal occurs.  Failing such election,  the vacancy may be
filed by the Board in the manner and by the vote provided for in subsection  (a)
above.

                  (c) If the entire Board of Directors shall become vacant,  any
stockholder  may call a special  meeting in the same manner that the Chairman of
the  Board or the  President  may  call  such  meeting,  and  directors  for the
unexpired term may be elected at such special meeting in the manner provided for
their election at annual meetings.

                  (d) A director  appointed  or elected to fill a vacancy  shall

for the  conduct  of its  meetings  and the  management  of the  affairs  of the

be Independent  Directors if the Corporation seeks to remain qualified as a real
estate  investment  trust,  or to the extent  required  by  applicable  rules or
policies of any  securities  exchange or other  similar  facility.  The Board of
Directors  may  delegate  to any  committee  any of the  powers  of the Board of
Directors except those powers  specifically denied by law. However, if the Board
of  Directors  has given  general  authorization  for the  issuance of stock,  a
committee of the board, in accordance with a general formula or method specified
by the Board of Directors by  resolution  or by adoption of a stock option plan,
may fix the terms of stock subject to classification or reclassification and the
terms on which any stock may be issued.

as notice for special meetings of the Board of Directors.

                  One-third  (1/3), but not less than two (2), of the members of
any  committee  shall be present in person at any meeting of such  committee  in
order to  constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of business at such meeting,
and the act of a majority present shall be the act of such committee.  The Board
of Directors  may designate a chairman of any committee and such chairman or any
two members of any committee  may fix the time and place of its meetings  unless
the Board shall otherwise  provide.  In the absence or  disqualification  of any
member of any such committee, the members thereof present at any meeting and not
disqualified  from  voting,  whether  or  not  they  constitute  a  quorum,  may
unanimously  appoint another director to act at the meeting in the place of such
absent or  disqualified  members;  provided,  however,  that in the event of the
absence or disqualification of an Independent Director,  such appointee shall be
an Independent Director.

                  Each committee shall keep minutes of its proceedings and shall
report the same to the Board of Directors at the meeting  next  succeeding,  and
any action by the committees  shall be subject to revision and alteration by the
Board of  Directors,  provided that no rights of third persons shall be affected
by any such revision or alteration.  Action of a committee without a meeting may
be taken by unanimous written consent signed by all members of the committee.

                  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors shall
have the power at any time to change the  membership of any  committee,  to fill
all  vacancies,  to  designate  alternate  members  to  replace  any  absent  or
disqualified member, or to dissolve any such committee.

                  The directors may receive a stated salary for their  services,
and/or a fixed sum and expenses of attendance  may be allowed for  attendance at
each regular or special  meeting.  The stated salary and attendance fee, if any,
shall be determined by resolution of the Board; provided,  however, that nothing
herein  contained  shall be construed as  precluding a director from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 11.  Place of Meetings.
- ------------------------------

                  Regular or special meetings of the Board may be held within or
without the State of Maryland, as the Board may from time to time determine. The

Section 12.  Informal Action by the Directors.
- ---------------------------------------------

                  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of

signed by all members of the Board and such consent is filed with the minutes of
the Board.

Section 13.  Telephone Conference.

participate in a meeting of the Board or such committee by means of a conference
telephone  or similar  communications  equipment  by means of which all  persons
participating  in the  meeting  can  hear  each  other  at  the  same  time  and
participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

                                Indemnification
                                ---------------

Section 1.  Directors and Officers, Third Party Actions.
- -------------------------------------------------------

                  The Corporation shall indemnify any director or officer of the
Corporation  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened,  pending or completed  actions,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal,  administrative  or  investigative  (other than an action by or in the
right of the  Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as an
authorized  representative of the Corporation  (which,  for the purposes of this
Article,  shall mean  service,  at the  Corporation's  request,  as a  director,
officer,   partner,   trustee,   employee  or  agent  of  another   corporation,
partnership,  joint venture, trust or other enterprise or employee benefit plan)
against  judgments,  fines,  amounts paid in settlement and expenses  (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action,  suit or proceeding  unless it is proved that the act or omission of the
director was material to the cause of action  adjudicated in the proceeding and:
(a) was committed in bad faith;  or (b) was the result of active and  deliberate
dishonesty;  or (c) the director  actually received an improper personal benefit
in money,  property or  services,  or, with  respect to any  criminal  action or
proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was
unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,  order
or settlement shall not create a presumption  that, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding,  the director had reasonable cause to believe that his act
or omission was unlawful.  The termination of any action,  suit or proceeding by
conviction,  or a plea of nolo contendere or its  equivalent,  or an entry of an
order of probation prior to judgment,  creates a rebuttable presumption that the
director  did not meet that  standard  of conduct  set forth in the  immediately
preceding sentence.

Section 2. Directors and Officers, Actions by or in the Right of the 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporation.
- -----------

                  The Corporation shall indemnify any director or officer of the
Corporation  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened,  pending  or  completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the
Corporation  to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was an authorized  representative of the Corporation,  to the same extent set
forth in Section 1 of this Article, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the  Corporation,  unless and only to the extent that a
Court of appropriate  jurisdiction determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

Section 3.  Indemnification for Successful Defenses.
- ---------------------------------------------------

                  To the extent that a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action,  suit or  proceeding  of the type  referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this
Article  or in  defense  of any  claim,  issue or  matter  therein,  he shall be
indemnified by the Corporation  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection  therewith.  Such a person
who is not a director or officer of the  Corporation  may, at the  discretion of
the Corporation, be indemnified by the Corporation in any other circumstances to
any  extent  if the  Corporation  would be  required  by  Section 1 or 2 of this
Article to indemnify such person in such circumstances to such extent if he were
or had been a director or officer of the Corporation.

Section 4.  Procedure.
- ---------------------

                  Indemnification  under  Section 1 or 2 of this  Article may be
made  in a  specific  case  upon a  determination  that  indemnification  of the
authorized  representative is required or proper in the circumstances because he
has met the applicable  standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this
Article. Such determination shall be made:

                       (a) By the Board of  Directors  by a  majority  vote of a
quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the action,  suit or
proceeding ("disinterested  directors"), or if such a quorum cannot be obtained,
then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board consisting  solely of two or
more disinterested  directors designated to act in the matter by a majority vote
of the full Board  (which may include  directors  who are parties to the action,
suit or proceeding); or

                       (b) By special  legal  counsel  selected  by the Board of
Directors or a committee  of the Board by vote as set forth in (a) above,  or if
the  requisite  quorum of the full Board  cannot be obtained  and the  committee
cannot be  established,  by a majority vote of the full Board (which may include
directors who are parties to the action, suit or proceeding); or

                       (c) By the stockholders.

Section 5.  Advancing Expenses.
- ------------------------------

                  Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or
officer of the Corporation in connection with any civil or criminal action, suit
or proceeding of the type referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this Article shall be
paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
or  proceeding,  upon  receipt of (i) a written  affirmation  by the director or
officer of his good faith  belief  that the  standard of conduct  necessary  for
indemnification  by the  Corporation as required by Section 1 of this Article or
by law; and (ii) a written  undertaking by or on behalf of a director or officer
to  repay  such  amount  if it shall  ultimately  be  determined  that he is not
entitled to be  indemnified  by the  Corporation  as required in this Article or
authorized by law.  Such expenses  incurred by an employee or agent who is not a
director or officer of the Corporation may be paid by the Corporation in advance
when authorized by the Board of Directors upon receipt of a similar undertaking.
The repayment obligation  represented by an undertaking pursuant to this Section
need not be secured and may be accepted without  reference to financial  ability
to make the repayment.

Section 6.  Scope of Article.
- ----------------------------

                  Each person who shall act as an authorized  representative  of
the  Corporation  shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon such rights of
indemnification as are provided in this Article.

                  The  indemnification  provided  by this  Article  shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking  indemnification may
be  entitled  under  any  agreement,   vote  of  stockholders  or  disinterested
directors,  statute or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and
as to action in another  capacity  while  holding such office or  position,  and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an authorized  representative
of the  Corporation  and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors and
administrators of such a person.


                                  ARTICLE XII.
                                  -----------

                                   Amendments
                                   ----------

                  These bylaws may be amended or replaced,  or new bylaws may be
adopted,  either (a) by the vote of the stockholders entitled to cast at least a
majority of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast thereon at any
duly organized annual or special meeting of stockholders; or (b) with respect to
those matters which are not by statute reserved exclusively to the stockholders,
by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of the  Corporation in office at
any regular or special  meeting of  directors.  It shall not be necessary to set
forth such proposed  amendment,  repeal or new bylaws, or a summary thereof,  in
any notice of such meeting, whether annual, regular or special.

borrow, repay and reborrow.

otherwise determined by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

                 2.2  Conditions   Precedent  to  Advances  and  Procedure   for
                      Obtaining Advances.

of any of the following events:

                               (i) Ineligible  Mortgage Loans. Any Mortgage Loan

provisions of this Agreement;

                               (ii)    Inaccuracy   of    Representations    and

defaulted and remains in default after expiration of any applicable cure periods
for sixty (60) days.

         III.     COLLATERAL.

                  3.1  Collection   Agent.   Borrower  will  cause  all  Pledged
Mortgages to be serviced by a collection  agent  approved by Bank.  All original
Mortgage  Notes  in  connection  with  Pledged  Mortgages  shall  be held by the
collection agent as agent for Bank.

                  3.2 Payments by Obligor.

                           (a) Principal Payments. All principal amounts paid by
the obligor under the Pledged Mortgages shall be paid directly to the collection
agent,  and the collection  agent shall promptly remit all such amounts directly
to Bank, after first deducting the collection  agent's  reasonable and customary
costs of  collection,  as  approved  by Bank.  So long as no Event of Default or
Unmatured  Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,  Bank will retain a
portion of such amounts  received by Bank from the collection agent with respect
to a Pledged  Mortgage  (not to exceed the  outstanding  indebtedness  under the
Note),  and shall  remit the  balance of such  amounts to  Borrower.  The amount
retained by Bank shall be calculated as follows:

         Amount received by Bank from collection agent multiplied by the Advance
         Rate for the applicable Pledged Mortgage equals the amounts retained by
         Bank.

If an Event of  Default  or  Unmatured  Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing, Bank will have no obligation to remit any portion of such amounts to
Borrower.  Any amounts paid by collection  agent to Bank,  and retained by Bank,
under this paragraph shall be applied against the outstanding indebtedness under
the Note, in the manner set forth in the Note.

                           (b) Interest Payments. So long as no Event of Default
or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  all interest paid
by the obligor under the Pledged  Mortgages  (including  any payments  disbursed
from an interest reserve account or other pledged account) shall be remitted and
disbursed  directly to Borrower.  If an Event of Default or  Unmatured  Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, all such interest shall be paid directly
to Bank (or to the collection  agent,  who shall promptly remit all such amounts
directly to Bank), and Bank will have no obligation to remit any portion of such
amounts to Borrower.  Any amounts so retained by Bank under this paragraph shall
be applied  against the outstanding  indebtedness  under the Note, in the manner
set forth in the Note.

                  3.3  Release of  Collateral.  Provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Bank will release a Pledged Mortgage from the pledge
created  hereby,  upon receipt by Bank of the amount advanced by Bank under this
Agreement with respect to such Pledged Mortgage as shown on Bank's records. Upon
payment  to Bank of the  applicable  release  price set  forth in the  documents
related to the  Pledged  Mortgage  and  performance  by the obligor of any other
conditions  for release,  and upon  request of  Borrower,  Bank will execute and
deliver to Borrower  (without  recourse,  representation  or warranty)  deeds of
partial  release  and  reconveyance,  releasing  from the Pledged  Mortgage  and
reconveyance to "the person legally entitled  thereto"  portions of the property
encumbered thereby.

                  3.4  Return of  Collateral  at End of  Commitment.  If (i) the
Commitment shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) no Advances,  interest
or other  amounts  evidenced  by the Note or due under this  Agreement  shall be
outstanding  and unpaid,  Bank shall  deliver or release all  Collateral  in its
possession  to Borrower or as  directed in writing by  Borrower.  The receipt by
Borrower of any  Collateral  released or delivered  to Borrower  pursuant to any
provision of this  Agreement  shall be a complete and full  acquittance  for the
Collateral  so  returned,  and Bank  shall  thereafter  be  discharged  from any
liability or responsibility therefor.

                  3.5 No Duty to Protect Collateral.  Bank shall have no duty to
Borrower or any other Person as to the  collection  or  protection of Collateral
held hereunder or any income thereon,  nor as to the  preservation of any rights
pertaining  thereto,  beyond the  reasonable  care and  confidentiality  thereof
during the time the  Collateral is in the actual  possession of Bank.  Such care
and confidentiality as Bank gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like
kind shall constitute  reasonable care and confidentiality of Collateral when in
Bank's actual possession;  but Bank is not required to make presentment,  demand
or protest,  or give  notice,  and need not take  action to preserve  any rights
against prior parties,  obligors, account debtors, or others, in connection with
any obligation or evidence of  indebtedness  held as Collateral or in connection
with  Borrower's  obligations.  Notwithstanding  any provision  hereof or of any
other  document to the  contrary,  the  transmittal  and delivery of any Pledged
Mortgages,  Collateral  Documents and other documents or instruments shall be at
the sole risk and expense of Borrower  and Bank shall not be liable or obligated
in any  respect  in the  event  of  the  loss,  damage,  or  destruction  of any
Collateral  Documents,  Pledged  Mortgages and other documents or instruments or
any delay in the transmission or delivery thereof.

                  3.6  Default  Under  Mortgage  Loan.  Borrower  shall use best
efforts to cure or caused to be cured any default  under any  Eligible  Mortgage
Loan  in  accordance  with  commercially  reasonable  standards.  Borrower  will
reasonably  promptly  take all legal  action to cause any  defaults  to be cured
under any Eligible Mortgage Loan. Bank will reasonably  cooperate with Borrower,
at Borrower's  expense,  in the  enforcement  of remedies by Borrower  under the
Eligible Mortgage Loan.

material and adverse change in the business,  operations,  assets,  or financial
condition of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to

upon the  occurrence  and during the  continuation  of an Event of  Default,  as
reasonably  required  by Bank,  and shall do and  perform all matters and things
necessary or desirable  to be done or observed,  for the purpose of  effectively
creating,  maintaining  and preserving the security and benefits  intended to be
afforded Bank under this Agreement and the Security Agreements.  Bank shall have
all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of Arizona,  or any other applicable law, in addition to all rights
provided for herein.

Unmatured  Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  Borrower  shall
service all Pledged  Mortgages  in  accordance  with the terms of the  documents
related thereto and in the exercise of reasonably  prudent lending and servicing
practices.  Borrower shall hold any interest reserve,  tax, insurance,  or other
impound  accounts  in  respect  of  the  Pledged  Mortgages  in  trust,  without
commingling them with other funds, and shall apply the same for the purposes for
which such funds were collected.

shall be Bank's agent for the purpose of ordering such  appraisals and that upon
request,  Borrower shall make available to Bank all  information  regarding such
appraisals,  including,  without  limitation,  identification of the appraisers,
copies of all  appraisals,  copies of all  instruction  letters  regarding  such
appraisals,  and  copies of all other  applicable  policies  and  procedures  of
Borrower  related  to  obtaining  appraisals.  In  the  event  Bank  shall  ever
reasonably  determine that appraisals obtained by Borrower are not in compliance

                           (c)  Waivers.  Borrower  waives  any right to require
Bank to (i) proceed  against any Person,  (ii) proceed against or exhaust any of
the  Collateral  or pursue its rights and remedies as against the  Collateral in
any particular order, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in its power.

                           (d)  Protection  of Lien.  Bank may, but shall not be
obligated  to,  advance any sums or do any act or thing  necessary to uphold and
enforce the Lien and priority  of, or the  security  intended to be afforded by,
any Mortgage included in the Collateral,  including, without limitation, payment
of  delinquent  taxes or  assessments  and  insurance  premiums,  to the  extent
permitted by such Mortgage. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  disbursements,  incurred  or  paid by Bank in
exercising any right,  power or remedy  conferred by this  Agreement,  or in the
enforcement  hereof,  shall become a part of the principal  balance  outstanding
under the Note and shall accrue  interest at the rate or rates  specified in the
Note.

                           (e) No  Waivers.  No  failure  on the part of Bank to
exercise,  and no delay in  exercising,  any  right,  power or  remedy  provided
hereunder,  at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or  partial  exercise  by Bank of any  right,  power or  remedy  provided
hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right,  power or remedy.  The remedies herein provided
are  cumulative  and are not  exclusive  of any  remedies  provided at law or in
equity.

                  7.3 Binding  Arbitration.  All controversies and claims of any
nature  arising  directly  or  indirectly  out of any and all loan  transactions
between Borrower and Bank and any related agreements,  instruments or documents,
shall at the written  request of Borrower or Bank be arbitrated  pursuant to the
applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitration shall
occur  in the  State  of  Arizona.  Judgment  upon  any  award  rendered  by the
arbitrator(s)  may be  entered in any court  having  jurisdiction.  The  Federal
Arbitration  Act shall  apply to the  construction  and  interpretation  of this
arbitration agreement.

                           (a) Arbitration Panel. A single arbitrator shall have
the power to render a maximum award of one hundred  thousand  dollars.  When any
party files a claim in excess of this amount, the arbitration  decision shall be
made by the majority vote of three  arbitrators.  No  arbitrator  shall have the
power to restrain any act of any party.

                           (b) Provisional Remedies, Self-Help, and Foreclosure.
No  provision of this Section 7.3 shall limit the right of any party to exercise
self-help  remedies,   to  foreclose  against  any  real  or  personal  property
collateral,  or to obtain any provisional or ancillary  remedies  (including but
not limited to injunctive  relief or the appointment of a receiver) from a court
of competent  jurisdiction.  At Bank's option, it may enforce its rights under a
security   agreement   by  private  or  public  sale,  a  mortgage  by  judicial
foreclosure, and under a deed of trust either by exercise of power of sale or by
judicial  foreclosure.  The institution and maintenance of any remedy  permitted
above shall not  constitute a waiver of the right to submit any  controversy  or
claim to arbitration. The statute of limitations,  estoppel, waiver, laches, and
similar  doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a
party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding.

         payable  to the  order of  Assignee,  evidencing  a  revolving  line of
         credit, all or any part of which may be advanced to Assignor, repaid by
         Assignor and readvanced to Assignor,  from time to time, subject to the
         terms and  conditions  thereof,  with interest  thereon,  extension and
         other fees,  late charges,  prepayment  premiums and  attorneys'  fees,
         according  to the terms  thereof,  and all  extensions,  modifications,
         renewals or replacements thereof (hereinafter called the "Note");

                  (b) Payment,  performance  and  observance by Assignor of each
         covenant,  condition,  provision and agreement  contained herein and of
         all monies  expended  or  advanced  by  Assignee  pursuant to the terms
         hereof, or to preserve any right of Assignee  hereunder,  or to protect
         or preserve the Collateral or any part thereof;

                  (c) Payment,  performance  and  observance by Assignor of each
         covenant,  condition,  provision and  agreement  contained in that Loan
         Agreement  of even  date  with the  Note by and  between  Assignor  and
         Assignee  (hereinafter  called the "Loan  Agreement")  and in any other
         document or instrument  related to the indebtedness  hereby secured and
         of all monies  expended or  advanced by Assignee  pursuant to the terms
         thereof or to preserve any right of Assignee thereunder;

                  (d) Payment and performance of any and all other indebtedness,
         obligations  and  liabilities of Assignor to Assignee of every kind and
         character,  direct and  indirect,  absolute  or  contingent,  due or to
         become  due,  now  existing  or   hereafter   incurred,   whether  such
         indebtedness  is from time to time reduced and thereafter  increased or
         entirely extinguished and thereafter reincurred.

All of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby are hereinafter
collectively called the "Obligation."

PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that, if Assignor shall fully pay and perform the Obligation
according to the terms thereof,  then Assignee shall release its interest in the
Collateral.

         1.       Assignor represents and warrants that:

                  (a)  Assignor is the true and lawful  owner of the  Collateral
         and has full power,  right and  authority  to execute and deliver  this
         Agreement;

                  (b) The  Collateral,  as of the date  hereof,  is valid and in
         good and current standing, not having been altered,  amended,  changed,
         terminated  or  cancelled  in any way by  Assignor,  and no  breach  or
         default exists therein or thereunder;

                  (c) The Collateral  represents a bona fide,  valid and legally
         enforceable  obligation  of the  person  or  entity  named  therein  in
         accordance  with its terms.  No payments  have been made,  collected or
         remitted under the Collateral in advance of the accrual thereof;

                  (d) No known defense,  setoff,  claim or  counterclaim  exists
         against  Assignor that could be asserted against  Assignee,  whether in
         any  proceeding  to enforce  Assignee's  interest in the  Collateral or
         otherwise;

                  (e) Assignor has not  conveyed,  transferred,  or assigned the
         Collateral  or any of its  rights  or  interest  therein  and  has  not
         executed any other  document or instrument  that might prevent or limit
         Assignee from operating  under the terms,  conditions and provisions of
         this Agreement; and

                  (f) Assignor will make no other  assignment of the  Collateral
         or of any right or interest therein.

         2. Upon the  execution of this  Agreement,  Assignor  shall endorse the
Collateral Note to Assignee and deliver it immediately to Assignee or Assignee's
agent.  If the  Collateral  Note is held or to be held by a collection  agent or
other third party,  then, after the execution of this Agreement,  the collection
agent or other third party shall hold the Collateral Note solely for the benefit
of and as agent for Assignor and Assignee;  provided,  however, that if an Event
of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  the
collection  agent or other third party shall hold the Collateral Note solely for
the benefit of and as agent for Assignee. In addition, Assignor shall assign the
Collateral  Deed of Trust to Assignee and  Assignee may record such  assignment.
Assignor hereby authorizes and directs each obligor under the Collateral, on and
after the date of this  Agreement,  (i) to remit  directly to Assignee  (or to a
collection agent designated by Assignee) all principal and other amounts (except
interest) arising out of the Collateral,  and (ii) upon demand of Assignee after
an Event of  Default  or an  Unmatured  Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing,  to remit directly to Assignee (or to a collection  agent designated
by  Assignee)  all interest  payments  arising out of the  collateral.  Assignor
hereby relieves each obligor under the Collateral from any liability to Assignor
by reason of the remittal of such proceeds directly to Assignee. Assignor agrees
that,  within two (2) business days of the receipt of such demand, it will remit
to Assignee all such funds coming into its possession. If the Collateral Note is
to be held by a collection  agent, that collection agent is hereby instructed to
remit promptly to Assignee all payments  received by the collection  agent, less
normal and customary servicing fees. Assignee may apply all proceeds received to
the payment of the Obligation, whether or not then due, in such order and manner
as Assignee in its sole  discretion may determine,  subject to the provisions of
the Loan Agreement.

         3. Assignor does hereby make, constitute and appoint Assignee,  and its
successors  and  assigns,  Assignor's  true and  lawful  attorney  in  fact,  in
Assignor's name, place and stead, or otherwise, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, as those terms are defined in the Loan
Agreement,  and at any time while such  Event of Default or  Unmatured  Event of
Default is continuing:

                  (a) To do all acts and to  execute,  acknowledge,  obtain  and
         deliver any and all instruments,  documents, items or things necessary,
         proper or required as a term,  condition or provision of the Collateral
         or in order to exercise any rights of Assignor  under the Collateral or
         to  receive  and  enforce  any   performance  due  Assignor  under  the
         Collateral;

                  (b) To give any notices, instructions, or other
         communications to any other parties to the Collateral or to any
         person or entity in connection therewith;

                  (c) To demand and receive all  performances  due under or with
         respect to the Collateral and to take all lawful ways and means for the
         enforcement  thereof and to compromise and settle any claim or cause of
         action in Assignor  arising from or related to the  Collateral and give
         acquittances and other sufficient discharges relating thereto; and

                  (d)  To  file  any  claim  or to  take  any  other  action  or
         proceeding, either in its own name or in that of its nominee, or in the
         name of Assignor or  otherwise,  to enforce  performances  due under or
         related to the  Collateral or to protect and preserve the right,  title
         and interest of Assignee hereunder.

The power of attorney given herein is a power coupled with an interest and shall
be  irrevocable  so  long  as any  part  of the  Obligation  remains  unpaid  or
unperformed.  Assignee shall have no obligation to exercise any of the foregoing
rights and powers in any event.

         4. No change, amendment or modification shall be made to the Collateral
or to the  instructions of Assignor  contained  herein without the prior written
approval  of  Assignee,  which  approval  will not be  unreasonably  withheld or
delayed.

         5. Assignor shall  promptly  notify  Assignee  after Assignor  obtained
knowledge of any default or breach of or under the  Collateral or of any failure
of performance or other condition that,  after notice or lapse of time, or both,
could become a default or breach under the Collateral.

         6. The  occurrence of any of the following  events or conditions  shall
constitute and is hereby defined to be an "Event of Default":

                  (a) Any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Note or
         any other  document or  instrument  executed or delivered in connection
         with the Obligation.

                  (b) Any levy or execution  upon,  or judicial  seizure of, any
         portion of the  Collateral or any other  collateral or security for the
         Obligation.

                  (c) Any  attachment  or  garnishment  of, or the  existence or
         filing  of  any  lien  or  encumbrance  against,  any  portion  of  the
         Collateral or any other  collateral or security for the Obligation that
         is not  removed  and  released  within  fifteen  (15)  days  after  its
         creation.

                  (d) The  institution  of any legal  action or  proceedings  to
         enforce any lien or  encumbrance  upon any portion of the Collateral or
         any  other  collateral  or  security  for the  Obligation,  that is not
         dismissed within fifteen (15) days after its institution.

                  (e)      The abandonment by Assignor of all or any part of the
         Collateral.

                  (f) The loss,  theft or  destruction  of,  or any  substantial
         damage to, any portion of the  Collateral  or any other  collateral  or
         security  for  the  Obligation  that  is  not  adequately   covered  by
         insurance.

         7. Upon the  occurrence of any Event of Default,  and at any time while
such  Event  of  Default  is  continuing,  Assignee  may do one or  more  of the
following:

                  (a) Declare the entire  Obligation to be  immediately  due and
         payable, and the same, with all costs and charges, shall be collectible
         thereupon by action at law.

                  (b) To the extent that the rights, title and interests covered
         hereby  shall  consist  of  personal  property  rights  and  interests,
         exercise  any or all of the  remedies  of a  secured  party  under  the
         Uniform  Commercial Code with respect to such personal property covered
         hereby. If Assignee should proceed to dispose of such personal property
         in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform  Commercial  Code, ten
         (10)  days'  notice  by  Assignee  to  Assignor  shall be  deemed to be
         commercially  reasonable  notice  under any  provision  of the  Uniform
         Commercial Code requiring notice.

                  (c) If applicable,  commence  proceedings  for  foreclosure of
         this  Agreement in the manner  provided by law for the  foreclosure  of
         realty mortgages.

         8. In the event  proceedings  are  commenced  for  foreclosure  of this
Agreement in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of realty mortgages,
then at any time after the  institution of such  foreclosure  proceedings,  upon
application  of Assignee,  a receiver may be appointed by any court of competent
jurisdiction  to take charge of all of  Assignor's  rights,  title and  interest
assigned hereunder;  to collect payments with respect to, and enforce any or all
rights of security in connection with, the Collateral;  and to apply the same to
protect and preserve such rights, title and interest,  to the payment of its own
compensation and to the payment of Obligation.

         9. In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of Default,
Assignee  shall have all the rights and remedies  afforded a secured party under
the Uniform  Commercial Code and all other legal and equitable  remedies allowed
under  applicable law. No failure on the part of Assignee to exercise any of its
rights  hereunder  arising  upon any  Event of  Default  shall be  construed  to
prejudice its rights upon the  occurrence  of any other or  subsequent  Event of
Default. No delay on the part of Assignee in exercising any such rights shall be
construed to preclude it from the exercise  thereof at any time while that Event
of Default is  continuing.  Assignee  may  enforce  any one or more  remedies or
rights  hereunder   successively  or  concurrently.   By  accepting  payment  or
performance  of any of the  Obligation  after its due date,  Assignee  shall not
thereby waive the agreement  contained  herein that time is of the essence,  nor
shall  Assignee  waive either its right to require prompt payment or performance
when due of the remainder of the Obligation or its right to consider the failure
to so pay or perform an Event of Default.

         10. The  proceeds of any sale or any other  enforcement  of  Assignee's
security  interest  in all or any part of the  Collateral  shall be  applied  by
Assignee:

                  First,  to the payment of the costs and  expenses of such sale
or  enforcement,  including  reasonable  compensation  to Assignee's  agents and
counsel,  and all expenses,  liabilities  and advances made or incurred by or on
behalf of Assignee in connection therewith;

                  Second,  to the  payment of any other  amounts due (other than
principal and interest) under the Note or this Agreement;

                  Third,  to the payment of  interest  accrued and unpaid on the
Note;

                  Fourth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of
the Note; and

                  Finally,  to the payment to Assignor or to its  successors  or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then
remaining from such proceeds.

If the  proceeds  of any such  sale are  insufficient  to cover  the  costs  and
expenses of such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the Note and all
other amounts due hereunder, Assignor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

         11. Assignee, by accepting this Agreement,  shall not be subject to any
obligation or liability under the Collateral, including, without limitation, any
duty to perform  any of the  covenants,  conditions,  provisions  or  agreements
thereof,  but all such  obligations and liabilities  shall continue to rest upon
Assignor as though this Agreement had not been made.

         12. In addition to all of its other rights  hereunder,  Assignee  shall
have the right at any time to appear in and defend and be represented by counsel
of its own choice in any action or proceeding  purporting  to affect  Assignor's
rights under the Collateral or Assignee's rights under this Agreement.

         13.  Assignor shall  indemnify and hold Assignee  harmless from any and
all damages and losses arising as a result of or related to the Collateral, this
Agreement or the exercise by Assignee of any of its rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any judgment, amounts paid in settlement, and all
costs and expenses,  including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in defending
or settling any action, suit or proceeding in connection with the foregoing, but
excluding  any  and  all  damages  and  losses  arising  from  Assignee's  gross
negligence or willful malfeasance.

         14. All sums advanced or paid by Assignee  under the terms hereof,  all
amounts  paid,  suffered or incurred by  Assignee in  exercising  any  authority
granted herein,  including reasonable attorneys' fees, and all other amounts due
Assignee from Assignor in connection  with this Agreement  shall be added to the
Obligation,  shall be secured by all deeds of trust and other lien and  security
documents  securing  the  Obligation,  shall bear  interest at the highest  rate
payable on any of the  Obligation  until  paid,  and shall be due and payable by
Assignor to Assignee immediately without demand.

         15.  Neither  the  execution  and  delivery of this  Agreement  nor any
failure on the part of any obligor under the  Collateral to comply with,  honor,
and perform in  accordance  with the terms thereof shall affect the liability of
any party to pay and perform the Obligation.

         16.  The  taking of this  security  by  Assignee  shall not  effect the
release of any other  collateral  now or hereafter  held by Assignee as security
for the  Obligation,  nor  shall  the  taking  of  additional  security  for the
Obligation  hereafter  effect a release or termination of this instrument or any
terms, conditions or provisions hereof.

         17. Assignor,  upon request of Assignee,  will execute and deliver such
additional documents,  including but not limited to financing statements, and do
such other acts as may be reasonably  necessary to fully implement the intent of
this  Agreement and to perfect and preserve the rights and interests of Assignee
hereunder and the priority thereof.

         18. Time is of the essence hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon
Assignor  and its  successors  and  assigns  and shall  inure to the  benefit of
Assignee  and its  successors  and  assigns;  this  Agreement,  however,  is not
intended to confer any right or remedies  upon any person other than the parties
hereto and their successors and assigns.

         19.  Assignor  shall  pay all  costs and  expenses,  including  without
limitation costs of Uniform Commercial Code searches, court costs and reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  incurred by Assignee in enforcing  payment and performance of
the Obligation or in exercising  the rights and remedies of Assignee  hereunder.
All such costs and expenses  shall be secured by this Agreement and by all deeds
of trust and other lien and security documents  securing the Obligation.  In the
event of any court proceedings,  court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by
the court and not by jury and shall be  included  in any  judgment  obtained  by
Assignee.

         20. No  failure  or delay on the part of  Assignee  in  exercising  any
right,  power, or privilege  hereunder  shall operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder
preclude  any other or further  exercise  thereof or the  exercise  of any other
right,  power,  or  privilege.  The rights,  powers and remedies  hereunder  are
cumulative  and  may  be  exercised  by  Assignee  either  independently  of  or
concurrently  with any other right,  power, or remedy contained herein or in any
instrument executed in connection with the Obligation.

         21. At such time as  Assignor is entitled to the release by Assignee of
its interest in the Collateral, Assignee shall re-endorse the Collateral Note to
Assignor,  without recourse,  and shall reassign the Collateral Deed of Trust to
Assignor.

         22. By executing this  Agreement,  Assignor  acknowledges  receipt of a
copy hereof.  A carbon,  photographic or other reproduced copy of this Agreement
and/or any financing  statement  relating  hereto shall be sufficient for filing
and/or recording as a financing  statement.  This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed according to the laws of the State of Arizona.

         IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  these  presents  are  executed  as of  the  date
indicated above.
