               TANGER FACTORY OUTLET CENTERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Tanger Factory Outlet
   Centers, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"), have been
   prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles and should be
   read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
   thereto of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
   December 31, 1998. Certain information and note disclosures normally included
   in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
   Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and regulations, although
   management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
   presented not misleading.

   The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
   management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
   financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
   nature.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES

   During the first quarter of 1999, the Company substantially completed a
   94,982 square foot expansion of its center in Sevierville, Tennessee which
   began opening in fourth quarter 1998, opening an additional 48,279 square
   feet. Additionally, approximately 143,000 square feet of expansions in five
   of the Company's centers are currently under construction and are scheduled
   to open in the second half of 1999.

   Commitments to complete construction of the expansions to the existing
   properties and other capital expenditure requirements amounted to
   approximately $5.3 million at March 31, 1999. Commitments for construction
   represent only those costs contractually required to be paid by the Company.

   Interest costs capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
   1998 amounted to $346,000 and $336,000, respectively.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT

   On March 18, 1999, the Company obtained a $66.5 million non-recourse 10 year
   loan with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance at a fixed interest rate of
   7.875%. The new loan refinances a prior loan, also with John Hancock, which
   had a balance of approximately $47.3 million, an interest rate of 8.92% and a
   scheduled maturity of January 1, 2002. The additional proceeds were used to
   reduce amounts outstanding under the revolving lines of credit. The
   unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the prior loan were
   expensed during the quarter and are reflected as an extraordinary item, net
   of minority interest, in the accompanying statements of operations.

   At March 31, 1999, the Company had revolving lines of credit with an
   unsecured borrowing capacity of $100 million, of which $36.5 million was
   available for additional borrowings.

4.      STOCK REPURCHASES

        During the quarter, the Board of Directors increased the amount
        authorized to repurchase the Company's common shares from $5 million to
        $6 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company
        repurchased and retired an additional 33,300 shares for approximately
        $667,000, leaving a balance of $5.2 million authorized for future
        repurchases.

5.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

       The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and
       denominators in computing earnings per share in accordance with Statement
       of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (in
       thousands, except per share amounts):

</TABLE>


       Options to purchase common shares which were excluded from the
       computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended
       March 31, 1999 and 1998 because the exercise price was greater than the
       average market price of the common shares totaled 1,314,342 and 26,000,
       respectively. The assumed conversion of preferred shares to common shares
       as of the beginning of the year would have been anti-dilutive. The
       assumed conversion of the partnership units held by the limited partner
       as of the beginning of the year, which would result in the elimination of
       earnings allocated to the minority interest, would have no impact on
       earnings per share since the allocation of earnings to a partnership unit
       is equivalent to earnings allocated to a common share.

 6.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On May 3, 1999, a tornado severely damaged the Company's outlet center in
       Stroud, Oklahoma. There were no reported injuries at the center, but the
       extensive damage has made the center non-operational. At March 31, 1999,
       the Stroud center's total assets were less than 2% of the Company's total
       assets and its revenues in 1998 were less than 3% of the Company's total
       revenues in 1998. Based on the Company's existing insurance coverage for
       both replacement cost and business interruption losses applicable to this
       property, the Company believes that the impact of this event will not
       have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
       operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
 OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and
percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated statements of operations,
including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future
operations.

The discussion of the Company's results of operations reported in the
consolidated statements of operations compares the three months ended March 31,
1999 with the three months ended March 31, 1998. Certain comparisons between the
periods are made on a percentage basis as well as on a weighted average gross
leasable area ("GLA") basis, a technique which adjusts for certain increases or
decreases in the number of centers and corresponding square feet related to the
development, acquisition, expansion or disposition of rental properties. The
computation of weighted average GLA, however, does not adjust for fluctuations
in occupancy which may occur subsequent to the original opening date.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Certain statements made below are forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995 and included this statement for purposes of complying with these safe
harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain
assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are
generally identifiable by use of the words "believe", "expect", "intend",
"anticipate", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions. You should not rely
on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and
which could materially affect our actual results, performance or achievements.
Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

- -  general economic and local real estate conditions could change (for example,
   our tenant's business may change if the economy changes, which might effect
   (1) the amount of rent they pay us or their ability to pay rent to us, (2)
   their demand for new space, or (3) our ability to renew or re-lease a
   significant amount of available space on favorable terms;

- -  the laws and regulations that apply to us could change (for instance, a
   change in the tax laws that apply to REITs could result in unfavorable tax
   treatment for us);

- -  capital availability (for instance, financing opportunities may not be 
   available to us, or may not be available to us on favorable terms);

- -  our operating costs may increase or our costs to construct or acquire new
   properties or expand our existing properties may increase or exceed our
   original expectations.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

At March 31, 1999, the Company owned 31 centers in 23 states totaling 5.1
million square feet compared to 30 centers in 22 states totaling 4.7 million
square feet at March 31, 1998. Since March 31, 1998, the Company has acquired
one center, expanded two centers and sold one center, increasing GLA by
approximately 362,000 square feet.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company substantially completed a 94,982
square foot expansion of its center in Sevierville, Tennessee which began
opening in fourth quarter 1998, opening an additional 48,279 square feet.

Additionally, approximately 143,000 square feet of expansions in five of the
Company's centers are currently under construction and are

scheduled to open in the second half of 1999.

On May 3, 1999, a tornado severely damaged the Company's outlet center in
Stroud, Oklahoma. There were no reported injuries at the center, but the
extensive damage has made the center non-operational. At March 31, 1999, the
Stroud center's total assets were less than 2% of the Company's total assets and
its revenues in 1998 were less than 3% of the Company's total revenues in 1998.
Based on the Company's existing insurance coverage for both replacement cost and
business interruption losses applicable to this property, the Company believes
that the impact of this event will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A summary of the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998 is presented in the following table, expressed in amounts calculated on a
weighted average GLA basis.

</TABLE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998

Base rentals increased $1.4 million, or 9%, in the 1999 period when compared to
the same period in 1998 primarily as a result of a 12% increase in weighted
average GLA. The increase in weighted average GLA is due to the acquisitions in
March 1998 (173,000 square feet) and July 1998 (186,000 square feet) and
expansions at three of the Company's centers totaling approximately 125,642
square feet. Base rent per weighted average GLA decreased $.09 per foot due to
the portfolio of properties having a lower overall average occupancy rate in the
first three months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Percentage rentals, which represent revenues based on a percentage of tenants'
sales volume above predetermined levels (the "breakpoint"), decreased $86,000,
and on a weighted average GLA basis, decreased $.03 per square foot in the first
three months of 1999 compared to the first three months of 1998. The decrease
reflects lower sales for the tenants whose lease years ended in the first
quarter of 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, reported same-store
sales, defined as the weighted average sales per square foot reported by tenants
for stores open since January 1, 1998, were even with that of the previous year.

Expense reimbursements, which represent the contractual recovery from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, insurance, property tax, promotional,
advertising and management expenses generally fluctuates consistently with the
reimbursable property operating expenses to which it relates. Expense
reimbursements, expressed as a percentage of property operating expenses,
decreased from 96% in the 1998 three month period to 92% in the 1999 three month
period primarily as a result of a lower average occupancy rate in the 1999
period compared to the 1998 period.

Property operating expenses increased by $237,000, or 4%, in the 1999 period as
compared to the 1998 period due to a higher average GLA in 1999 versus 1998.
However, on a weighted average GLA basis, property operating expenses decreased
$.11 per square foot from $1.48 to $1.37. Slightly higher real estate taxes per
square foot were offset by considerable decreases in advertising and promotion
and common area maintenance expenses per square foot.

General and administrative expenses decreased $25,000, or 1%, in the 1999
quarter as compared to the 1998 quarter. As a percentage of revenues, general
and administrative expenses were approximately 7% of revenues in both the 1999
and 1998 periods and, on a weighted average GLA basis, decreased $.05 per square
foot from $.38 in 1998 to $.33 in 1999 reflecting the absorption of the
acquisitions and expansions in 1998 without corresponding increases in general
and administrative expenses.

Interest expense increased $1.2 million during the 1999 period as compared to
the 1998 period due to financing the 1998 acquisitions and expansions.
Depreciation and amortization per weighted average GLA increased from $1.14 per
square foot in the 1998 period to $1.23 per square foot in the 1999 period due
to a higher mix of tenant finishing allowances included in buildings and
improvements which are depreciated over shorter lives (i.e., over lives
generally ranging from 3 to 10 years as opposed to other construction costs
which are depreciated over lives ranging from 15 to 33 years.)

The gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended March 31, 1998
represents the sale of an 8,000 square foot, single tenant property in
Manchester, VT for $1.85 million and the sale of two outparcels at other centers
for sales prices aggregating $690,000.

The extraordinary losses recognized in each three month period represent the
write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to debt that was
extinguished during each period prior to its scheduled maturity.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.4 million and $8.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to an increase in
receivables and a lesser decrease in accounts payable during 1999 when compared
to the same period in 1998. Net cash used in investing activities was $11.8 and
$24.8 million during the first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash
used was higher in 1998 primarily due to the acquisition of a factory outlet
center in Dalton, Georgia in 1998. Likewise, net cash from financing activities
amounted to $(5.8) and $17.8 million during the first three months of 1999 and
1998, respectively, decreasing consistently with the capital needs of the
current acquisition and expansion activity. Also attributing to the decrease in
cash from financing activities in the

                                       10

<PAGE>

first three months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 was an increase
in dividends paid of $599,000 and the repurchase and retirement of some of the
Company's common shares totaling $667,000 in 1999.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company substantially completed a 94,982
square foot expansion of its center in Sevierville, Tennessee which began
opening in fourth quarter 1998, opening an additional 48,279 square feet.
Additionally, approximately 143,000 square feet of expansions in five of the
Company's centers is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in
the second half of 1999. Commitments to complete construction of the expansions
to the existing properties and other capital expenditure requirements amounted
to approximately $5.3 million at March 31, 1999. Commitments for construction
represent only those costs contractually required to be paid by the Company.

The Company also is in the process of developing plans for additional expansions
and new centers for completion in 2000 and beyond. Currently, the Company is in
the preleasing stages for a future center in Bourne, Massachusetts and for
further expansions of five existing Centers. However, these anticipated or
planned developments or expansions may not be started or completed as scheduled,
or may not result in accretive funds from operations. In addition, the Company
regularly evaluates acquisition or disposition proposals, engages from time to
time in negotiations for acquisitions or dispositions and may from time to time
enter into letters of intent for the purchase or sale of properties. Any
prospective acquisition or disposition that is being evaluated or which is
subject to a letter of intent also may not be consummated, or if consummated,
may not result in accretive funds from operations.

The Company maintains revolving lines of credit which provide for unsecured
borrowings up to $100 million, of which $36.5 million was available for
additional borrowings at March 31, 1999. As a general matter, the Company
anticipates utilizing its lines of credit as an interim source of funds to
acquire, develop and expand factory outlet centers and to repay the credit lines
with longer-term debt or equity when management determines that market
conditions are favorable. Under joint shelf registration, the Company and the
Operating Partnership could issue up to $100 million in additional equity
securities and $100 million in additional debt securities. With the decline in
the real estate debt and equity markets, the Company may not, in the short term,
be able to access these markets on favorable terms. Management believes the
decline is temporary and may utilize these funds as the markets improve to
continue its external growth. In the interim, the Company may consider the use
of operational and developmental joint ventures and other related strategies to
generate additional capital. Based on cash provided by operations, existing
credit facilities, ongoing negotiations with certain financial institutions and
funds available under the shelf registration, management believes that the
Company has access to the necessary financing to fund the planned capital
expenditures during 1999.

On March 18, 1999, the Company refinanced its 8.92% notes which had a carrying
amount of $47.3 million. The refinancing reduced the interest rate to 7.875%,
increased the loan amount to $66.5 million and extended the maturity date to
April 2009. The additional proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding
under the revolving lines of credit. As a result of this refinancing, management
expects to realize a savings in interest cost of approximately $300,000 over the
next twelve months. In addition, the Company extended the maturity of one of its
revolving lines of credit from June 2000 to June 2001.

At March 31, 1999, approximately 70% of the outstanding long-term debt
represented unsecured borrowings and approximately 79% of the Company's real
estate portfolio was unencumbered. The weighted average interest rate on debt
outstanding on March 31, 1999 was 7.9%.


The Company anticipates that adequate cash will be available to fund its
operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the
payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and
long term. Although the Company receives most of its rental payments on a
monthly basis, distributions to shareholders are made quarterly and interest
payments on the senior, unsecured notes are made semi-annually. Amounts
accumulated for such payments will be used in the interim to reduce the
outstanding borrowings under the existing lines of credit or invested in
short-term money market or other suitable

                                       11

<PAGE>

instruments. Certain of the Company's debt agreements limit the payment of
dividends such that dividends will not exceed funds from operations ("FFO"), as
defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95%
of FFO on a cumulative basis from the date of the agreement.

On April 8, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $.605 cash
dividend per common share payable on May 14, 1999 to each shareholder of record
on April 30, 1999, and caused a $.605 per Operating Partnership unit cash
distribution to be paid to the minority interests. The Board of Directors of the
Company also declared a cash dividend of $.5451 per preferred depositary share
payable on May 14, 1999 to each shareholder of record on April 30, 1999. Both
dividends represent a 1% increase from the quarterly distributions previously
paid to holders of shares and Operating Partnership units.

MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest
rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market
rates and prices, such as interest rates. The Company does not enter into
derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to
interest rate changes. The swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable
interest rate payments based on a contractual principal amount and time period.
Payments or receipts on the agreements are recorded as adjustments to interest
expense. At March 31, 1999, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement
effective through October 2001 with a notional amount of $20 million. Under this
agreement, the Company receives a floating interest rate based on the 30 day
LIBOR index and pays a fixed interest rate of 5.47%. These swaps effectively
change the Company's payment of interest on $20 million of variable rate debt to
fixed rate debt for the contract period.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement represents the estimated
receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements. At March
31, 1999, the Company would have paid $42,000 to terminate the agreements. A 1%
decrease in the 30 day LIBOR index would increase the amount paid by
approximately $501,000. The fair value is based on dealer quotes, considering
current interest rates.

The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to market
risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase
as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The estimated fair
value of the Company's total long-term debt at March 31, 1999 was $282.5
million. A 1% increase from prevailing interest rates at March 31, 1999 would
result in a decrease in fair value of total long-term debt by approximately $6.1
million. Fair values were determined from quoted market prices, where available,
using current interest rates considering credit ratings and the remaining terms
to maturity.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 requires
that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair
value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in
current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Management of the Company anticipates that, due to its
limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial
position.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Management believes that for a clear understanding of the consolidated
historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be considered along with
net income as presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this report. FFO is presented because it is a widely
accepted financial indicator used by certain investors and analysts to analyze
and compare one equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") with another on the
basis of operating performance. FFO is generally defined as net income (loss),
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, before
extraordinary items and gains (losses) on sale of real estate, plus depreciation
and amortization uniquely significant to real estate. The Company cautions that
the calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity and as such the
presentation of FFO by the Company may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other reporting companies. FFO does not represent net income
or cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an
indication of operating performance or to cash from operations as a measure of
liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund
dividends to shareholders and other cash needs.

Below is a calculation of funds from operations for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998 as well as actual cash flow and other data for those
respective periods (in thousands):

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

The majority of the Company's leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the
impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses for the escalation of base
rent and clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on
tenants' gross sales (above predetermined levels, which the Company believes
often are lower than traditional retail industry standards) which generally
increase as prices rise. Most of the leases require the tenant to pay their
share of property operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real
estate taxes, insurance and advertising and promotion, thereby reducing exposure
to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

While factory outlet stores continue to be a profitable and fundamental
distribution channel for brand name manufacturers, some retail formats are more
successful than others. As typical in the retail industry, certain tenants have
closed, or will close, certain stores by terminating their lease prior to its
natural expiration or as a result of filing for protection under bankruptcy
laws.

As part of its strategy of aggressively managing its assets, the Company is
strengthening the tenant base in several of its centers by adding strong new
anchor tenants, such as Nike, GAP and Nautica. To accomplish this goal, stores
may remain vacant for a longer period of time in order to recapture enough space
to meet the size 
                                       13

<PAGE>

requirement of these upscale, high volume tenants. Consequently, the Company
anticipates that its average occupancy level will remain strong, but may be more
in line with the industry average.

Approximately 311,000 square feet of space is up for renewal during the
remainder of 1999 and approximately 690,000 square feet will come up for renewal
in 2000. If the Company were unable to successfully renew or release a
significant amount of this space on favorable economic terms, the loss in rent
could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. However,
existing tenants' sales have remained stable and renewals by existing tenants
have remained strong. Approximately 409,000 square feet scheduled to expire in
1999 has already been renewed. In addition, the Company continues to attract and
retain additional tenants. The Company's factory outlet centers typically
include well known, national, brand name companies. By maintaining a broad base
of creditworthy tenants and a geographically diverse portfolio of properties
located across the United States, the Company reduces its operating and leasing
risks. No one tenant (including affiliates) accounts for more than 8% of the
Company's combined base and percentage rental revenues. Accordingly, management
currently does not expect any material adverse impact on the Company's results
of operation and financial condition as a result of leases to be renewed or
stores to be released.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue refers generally to computer applications using only
the last two digits to refer to a year rather than all four digits. As a result,
these applications could fail or create erroneous results if they recognize "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The Company has taken Y2K
initiatives in three general areas which represent the areas that could have an
impact on the company - Information technology systems, non-information
technology systems and third-party issues. The following is a summary of these
initiatives:

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS. The Company has focused its efforts on the
high-risk areas of the corporate office computer hardware, operating systems and
software applications. The Company's assessment and testing of existing
equipment and software revealed that certain older desktop personal computers,
the network operating system and the DOS-based accounting system were not Y2K
compliant. The non-compliant personal computers have since been replaced. The
Company is currently in the process of installing and testing current upgrades
for the DOS-based accounting and the network operating systems which will make
these systems compliant with Y2K and expects to complete this process by June
30, 1999.

NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS. Non-information technology consists mainly
of facilities management systems such as telephone, utility and security systems
for the corporate office and the outlet centers. The Company has reviewed the
corporate facility management systems and made inquiry of the building
owner/manager and concluded that the corporate office building systems including
telephone, utilities, fire and security systems are Y2K compliant. The Company
is in the process of identifying date sensitive systems and equipment including
HVAC units, telephones, security systems and alarms, fire warning systems and
general office systems at its 31 outlet centers. Assessment and testing of these
systems is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. Critical non-compliant
systems will be replaced by mid-1999. Based on preliminary assessment, the cost
of replacement is not expected to be significant.


THIRD PARTIES. The Company has third-party relationships with approximately 260
tenants and over 8,000 suppliers and contractors. Many of these third parties
are publicly-traded corporations and subject to disclosure requirements. The
Company has begun assessment of major third parties' Y2K readiness including
tenants, key suppliers of outsourced services including stock transfer, debt
servicing, banking collection and disbursement, payroll and benefits, while
simultaneously responding to their inquiries regarding the Company's readiness.
The majority of the Company's vendors are small suppliers that the Company
believes can manually execute their business and are readily replaceable.
Management also believes there is no material risk of being unable to procure
necessary supplies and services from third parties who have not already
indicated that they are currently Y2K compliant. The Company is diligently
working to substantially complete its third party assessment. The

                                       14

<PAGE>

Company has received responses to approximately 66% of the surveys sent to
tenants, banks and key suppliers of which 99% have indicated they are presently,
or will be by December 31, 1999, Y2K compliant. The Company also intends to
monitor Y2K disclosures in SEC filings of publicly-owned third parties
commencing with the current quarter filings.

COSTS. The accounting software and network operating system upgrades are being
executed under existing maintenance and support agreements with software
vendors, and thus the Company does not expect to incur additional costs to bring
those systems in compliance. Approximately $220,000 has been spent to upgrade
or replace equipment or systems specifically to bring them in compliance with
Y2K. The total cost of Y2K compliance activities, expected to be less than
$400,000, has not been, and is not expected to be material to the operating
results or financial position of the Company.

The identification and remediation of systems at the outlet centers is being
accomplished by in-house business systems personnel and outlet center general
managers whose costs are recorded as normal operating expenses. The assessment
of third-party readiness is also being conducted by in-house personnel whose
costs are recorded as normal operating expenses. The Company is not yet in a
position to estimate the cost of third-party compliance issues, but has no
reason to believe, based upon its evaluations to date, that such costs will
exceed $100,000.

RISKS. The principal risks to the Company relating to the completion of its
accounting software conversion is failure to correctly bill tenants by December
31, 1999 and to pay invoices when due. Management believes it has adequate
resources, or could obtain the needed resources, to manually bill tenants and
pay bills until the systems became operational.

The principal risks to the Company relating to non-information systems at the
outlet centers are failure to identify time-sensitive systems and inability to
find a suitable replacement system. The Company believes that adequate
replacement components or new systems are available at reasonable prices and are
in good supply. The Company also believes that adequate time and resources are
available to remediate these areas as needed.

The principal risks to the Company in its relationships with third parties are
the failure of third-party systems used to conduct business such as tenants
being unable to stock stores with merchandise, use cash registers and pay
invoices; banks being unable to process receipts and disbursements; vendors
being unable to supply needed materials and services to the centers; and
processing of outsourced employee payroll. Based on Y2K compliance work done to
date, the Company has no reason to believe that key tenants, banks and suppliers
will not be Y2K compliant in all material respects or can not be replaced within
an acceptable time frame. The Company will attempt to obtain compliance
certification from suppliers of key services as soon as such certifications are
available.

CONTINGENCY PLANS. The Company intends to deal with contingency planning during
the first half of 1999 after the results of the above assessments are known. The
Company description of its Y2K compliance issues are based upon information
obtained by management through evaluations of internal business systems and from
tenant and vendor compliance efforts. No assurance can be given that the Company
will be able to address the Y2K issues for all its systems in a timely manner or
that it will not encounter unexpected difficulties or significant expenses
relating to adequately addressing the Y2K issue. If the Company or the major
tenants or vendors with whom the Company does business fail to address their
major Y2K issues, the Company's operating results or financial position could be
materially adversely affected.

        1. DEBT AND PAYMENT. For Value Received, the undersigned, Tanger
Properties Limited Partnership (the "Borrower"), a North Carolina limited
partnership whose sole general partner is Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc., a
North Carolina corporation hereby promises to pay to the order of JOHN HANCOCK
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (the "Lender"), a Massachusetts corporation, at
its Home Office at John Hancock Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02117, or at such
other place, or to such other party or parties, as the holder of this Note may
from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Twenty Million
Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (the "Loan") with interest to be computed from the date
of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan at the rate of seven and
seven-eighths percent (7.875%) per annum, payable on the first day of each and
every month beginning May 1, 1999, upon all principal remaining from time to
time unpaid; principal and interest to be paid in installments as follows: One
Hundred Fifty-two Thousand Seven Hundred Ten and 79/100ths Dollars ($152,710.79)
on May 1, 1999 and a like amount on the first day of each and every month
thereafter through April 1, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"), inclusive; provided,
however, that the amount of the final payment aforesaid shall be for the amount
of principal and interest then remaining unpaid. If the Loan proceeds are not
disbursed on the first day of a month, then interest only at the rate specified
above from and including the date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds to the
first day of the month following such disbursement shall be due and payable in
advance on the date of such disbursement.

        The Loan is secured by the Texas Deed of Trust and Security Agreement

in Hays County, Texas, and the Texas Assignment of Leases (the "Texas
Assignment"), both of even date herewith. Also given in connection with the Loan
is the Texas Indemnification Agreement (the "Texas Indemnification"), also of
even date herewith. This Note, the Texas Deed of Trust, the Texas Assignment and
the Texas Indemnification are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Loan
Documents". The proceeds of this Note are to be used for business, commercial,
investment or other similar purposes, and no portion thereof will be used for
personal, family or household use.

        Unless Lender elects otherwise, all sums received by Lender in payment
under this Note shall be applied first to late charges, costs of collection or
enforcement, expenditures by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and similar
amounts, if any, due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents or the
Related Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then to interest due and
payable under this Note, and the remainder to principal due and payable under

        3. PERMITTED PREPAYMENT. Except as provided below, Borrower may not
prepay the principal balance of this Note in whole or in part.

        Borrower may, on any scheduled payment date on or after April 1, 2003,
and subject to giving Lender not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety
(90) days prior written notice, prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note together with any and all accrued interest and other sums due
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents, subject to a prepayment
premium described below and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

        A.      It shall be a pre-condition of any such prepayment: (i) that all
                of the Related Loans shall be prepaid in full in accordance with
                the terms of their respective Related Loan Documents
                simultaneously with the prepayment in full on the Loan, or (ii)
                if no uncured default exists under the Loan or under any of the
                Related Loans, that Lender shall, in its sole reasonable
                discretion, allow the Loan, either alone or together with one or
                more of the Related Loans, to be prepaid in full, provided (a)
                that the Related Loans which are not then being prepaid
                (hereinafter the "Remaining Related Loans") shall have a ratio
                of outstanding principal balance to value of the properties
                securing the Remaining Related Loans that, in the aggregate, is
                less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) (such loan to value
                ratio to be determined as hereinafter provided), and (b) that
                the aggregate net operating income ("Net Operating Income") from
                the properties securing the Remaining Related Loans shall equal
                or exceed 1.30 times the total debt service payable under the
                Remaining Related Loans and under any loans ("junior loans")
                secured by liens junior to those of the Remaining Related Loans
                (without any implication that junior loans are permitted under
                the Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents) (such ratio is
                hereinafter referred to as "required debt service coverage" and
                shall be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
                hereinafter provided).

       B.       For purposes of the preceding paragraph, property values shall
                be determined, at Borrower's election, by one of the following
                methods: (i) by an appraisal performed by an appraiser mutually
                acceptable to Borrower and Lender with experience in the
                appraisal of retail shopping center properties and who is a
                Member of the Appraisal Institute, at Borrower's expense, (ii)
                by a totally arm's-length bona fide third party offer to

<PAGE>

                purchase the property in question, subject to approval by
                Lender, or (iii) by capitalizing Net Operating Income at a nine
                and one-half percent (9.5%) capitalization rate. The Net
                Operating Income of such property is to be calculated by the
                following formula:

               (a)    Annualized base rent determined from base rent actually
                      received in the most recent three (3) month period under
                      then existing leases;

               (b)    Less customary non-reimbursed operating expenses at market
                      rates then currently applicable to factory outlet centers;

               (c)    Less a reserve equal to ten cents ($.10) times the number
                      of gross leasable square feet of floor area of the
                      buildings on the subject property.

               For purposes of determining whether the required debt service
               coverage test is satisfied by the Net Operating Income from the
               properties securing the Remaining Related Loans, the Net
               Operating Income of all remaining properties, determined in
               accordance with the foregoing formula, shall be divided by the
               annual debt service payable under the Remaining Related Loans
               (and any junior loans) secured by those properties.

     C.         If the conditions set forth in this Section 3 are satisfied, the
                prepayment premium with respect to the Loan shall be equal to
                the greater of: (i) the positive amount, if any, equal to (a)
                the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due
                under this Note from the date on which prepayment is to be made
                (the "Prepayment Date") to and including the maturity date of
                this Note, less (b) the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to ---- such prepayment; or (ii) an amount
                equal to one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment. All present values shall
                be calculated as of the Prepayment Date, using a discount rate,
                compounded monthly, equal to the yield rate, converted to its
                monthly equivalent, of the United States Treasury Security
                having the closest maturity date to the maturity date of this
                Note, as established in the Wall Street Journal or other
                business publication of general circulation five (5) business
                days prior to the Prepayment Date.

               Provided no default existing under any of the Loan Documents or
               Related Loan Documents, the prepayment premium shall not be
               applicable to a prepayment resulting from Lender's election to
               require insurance loss proceeds or condemnation awards to be
               applied to a payment of principal.

               No partial prepayment shall be allowed.

        The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full without
premium during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Note.

<PAGE>


        4. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. While any default exists in the
making of any of said payments or in the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of this Note, or of any of the other Loan Documents, or
of any of the Related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, failure to
make payment in full of all amounts due under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or under any Related Loan Documents, by the Maturity Date, the
undersigned further promises to pay, on each monthly payment date, additional
interest on the principal balance of this Note then outstanding at the rate
representing the difference between the aforesaid rate and twelve and
seven-eighths percent (12.875%) per annum, provided that any additional interest
which has accrued shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to
the curing of any default. Upon any default under this Note, the other Loan
Documents, or the Related Loan Documents which shall continue uncured after the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, the holder of this Note may
apply payments received on any amounts due hereunder or under the terms of the
Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents as said holder may determine and,
if the holder of this Note so elects, notice of election being expressly waived,
the principal remaining unpaid with accrued interest and all other amounts due
hereunder shall at once become due and payable.

        5. PAYMENT AFTER DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION. Borrower acknowledges that
the Loan evidenced hereby was made on the basis and assumption that Lender would
receive the payments of principal and interest set forth herein for the full
term of the Loan. Therefore, whenever the maturity of the Loan has been
accelerated by reason of a default under this Note, any of the other Loan
Documents or the Related Loan Documents which has continued uncured beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, which default occurs prior
to the time period, if any, in which prepayment is allowed, including an
acceleration by reason of sale, conveyance, further encumbrance or other default
(which acceleration shall be at Lender's sole option), there shall be due, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and other sums
due under this Note and the Loan Documents (subject, however, to all provisions
of the Loan Documents limiting interest payable under the Loan to the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law), a premium equal to the greater of:

        A.     The sum obtained by:

               (i)     Multiplying the then outstanding principal balance due by
                       the difference obtained by subtracting the yield rate on
                       publicly traded United States Treasury Securities (as
                       published in the Wall Street Journal or other business
                       publication of general circulation five (5) business days
                       prior to the date of said payment) having the closest
                       matching maturity date to the Maturity Date from the
                       interest rate on this Note adjusted to its semi-annual
                       equivalent rate (8.005%), times the number of scheduled
                       monthly payments remaining in the term of this Note,
                       divided by twelve; and

               (ii)   Adding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then


                                       
<PAGE>

                      outstanding principal balance; or

        B.      An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding
                principal balance.

        In the event such default or acceleration occurs on or after the date on
which prepayment is permitted under Section 3 of this Note and the preconditions
to such prepayment set forth in Section 3(A) are satisfied, then in lieu of the
above-described premium, payment of a premium calculated in the manner set forth
in Section 3(C), shall be required. In the event the yield rate on publicly
traded United States Treasury Securities is not obtainable, then the nearest
equivalent issue or index shall be selected, at Lender's reasonable
determination, and used in calculating the premium hereunder.

        A tender of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby, paid at any time following such default or acceleration,
including at a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment, and, at
Lender's option, such payment shall include a premium as described above.

        6. WAIVERS. The undersigned waives presentment, protest and demand,
notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, notice of
intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, and notice of acceleration,
and agrees to pay all costs of collection when incurred, including attorneys'
and paralegals' fees, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants,
conditions, provisions and agreements of the undersigned contained in every Loan
Document. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
installment hereof made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of
any of the undersigned not a party to such agreement. Notwithstanding any
provision herein or in any Loan Document, the total liability for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the usury laws
of the State of Texas.

        7. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. In any action brought to enforce the
obligation of the parties executing the Loan Documents to pay the indebtedness
or perform the other obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the
judgment or decree shall be enforceable against such parties only to the extent
of their interests in the properties, rights, estates and interests covered by
the Texas Deed of Trust, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents
(all such properties, rights, estates and interests are hereinafter referred to
as the "Security"), and any such judgment shall not be subject to execution on,
nor be a lien on, assets of such parties other than their interests in the
Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be personally liable to
Lender for: (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation and waste; (ii) any rents,
issues or profits collected more than one (1) month in advance of their due
dates; (iii) any misapplication of security deposits, insurance proceeds, or
condemnation awards or other sums of like nature to condemnation awards; (iv)
liability under any environmental covenants, conditions and indemnity contained
in the Loan Documents or Related Loan Documents and in any separate
environmental indemnity agreement; 

<PAGE>

(v) failure to pay real estate taxes or assessments, or failure to pay valid
 mechanic's liens; (vi) reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other
 expenses incurred by Lender if Lender prevails in any legal matter; and (vii)
 after a default which has continued uncured beyond the expiration of any
 applicable notice or cure period, misapplication of any rents and other
 payments, including, without limitation, both base and percentage rents,
 contributions of tenants and lease termination fees, received from tenants
 under space leases of the Security.

        8. SECURITY, CROSS-DEFAULT, CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION, GOVERNING LAW. This
Note is given for a loan of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) and is
secured by (i) the Texas Deed of Trust; (ii) the Texas Assignment; (iii) the
other Loan Documents other than this Note; and (iv) the Related Loan Documents
other than the Related Notes. The Loan and the Related Loans are all secured by,
and are entitled to the benefits of, the Texas Deed of Trust, the Texas
Assignment, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents. It is the
express intention of Borrower and Lender that the Loan and each of the Related
Loans be, and they hereby are, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized.
Accordingly, a default under this Note or the other Loan Documents will
constitute an event of default under the Related Loan Documents, and a default
under any of the Related Loan Documents will constitute an event of default
under this Note and the other Loan Documents. This Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

        WITNESS the execution and delivery hereof under seal on the day and year
first above written.

 $20,550,000.00                                      -----------------, 1999

        1. Debt and Payment. For Value Received, the undersigned, Tanger

"Borrower") hereby promises to pay to the order of John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company (the "Lender"), a Massachusetts corporation, at its Home
Office at John Hancock Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02117, or at such other
place, or to such other party or parties, as the holder of this Note may from
time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Twenty Million Five
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($20,550,000.00) (the "Loan") with interest to be
computed from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan at the rate
of seven and seven-eighths percent (7.875%) per annum, payable on the first day
of each and every month beginning May 1, 1999, upon all principal remaining from
time to time unpaid; principal and interest to be paid in installments as
follows: One Hundred Fifty-six Thousand Nine Hundred Ten and 34/100ths Dollars
($156,910.34) on May 1, 1999 and a like amount on the first day of each and
every month thereafter through April 1, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"), inclusive;
provided, however, that the amount of the final payment aforesaid shall be for
the amount of principal and interest then remaining unpaid. If the Loan proceeds
are not disbursed on the first day of a month, then interest only at the rate
specified above from and including the date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds
to the first day of the month following such disbursement shall be due and
payable in advance on the date of such disbursement.

        The Loan is secured by the Iowa Mortgage Security Agreement and Fixture

Rents (the "Iowa Assignment"), both of even date herewith. Also given in
connection with the Loan is the Iowa Indemnification Agreement (the "Iowa
Indemnification"), also of even date herewith. This Note, the Iowa Mortgage, the
Iowa Assignment and the Iowa Indemnification are hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Loan Documents".

        Unless Lender elects otherwise, all sums received by Lender in payment
under this Note shall be applied first to late charges, costs of collection or
enforcement, expenditures by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and similar
amounts, if any, due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents or the
Related Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then to interest due and
payable under this Note, and the remainder to principal due and payable under
this Note.

        2. Related Loans. The Loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents
is made simultaneously with four other loans by Lender to Borrower, all
evidenced by four (4) notes of even date herewith in the following amounts (the
"Related Notes") and secured by first mortgages (or deeds of trust) on factory

premium described below and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

       A.       It shall be a pre-condition of any such prepayment: (i) that all
                of the Related Loans shall be prepaid in full in accordance with
                the terms of their respective Related Loan Documents
                simultaneously with the prepayment in full on the Loan, or (ii)
                if no uncured default exists under the Loan or under any of the
                Related Loans, that Lender shall, in its sole reasonable
                discretion, allow the Loan, either alone or together with one or
                more of the Related Loans, to be prepaid in full, provided (a)
                that the Related Loans which are not then being prepaid
                (hereinafter the "Remaining Related Loans") shall have a ratio
                of outstanding principal balance to value of the properties
                securing the Remaining Related Loans that, in the aggregate, is
                less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) (such loan to value
                ratio to be determined as hereinafter provided), and (b) that
                the aggregate net operating income ("Net Operating Income") from
                the properties securing the Remaining Related Loans shall equal
                or exceed 1.30 times the total debt service payable under the
                Remaining Related Loans and under any loans ("junior loans")
                secured by liens junior to those of the Remaining Related Loans
                (without any implication that junior loans are permitted under
                the Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents) (such ratio is
                hereinafter referred to as "required debt service coverage" and
                shall be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
                hereinafter provided).

        B.      For purposes of the preceding paragraph, property values shall
                be determined, at Borrower's election, by one of the following
                methods: (i) by an appraisal performed by an appraiser mutually
                acceptable to Borrower and Lender with experience in the
                appraisal of retail shopping center properties and who is a
                Member of the Appraisal Institute, at Borrower's expense, (ii)
                by a totally arm's-length bona fide third party offer to
                purchase the property in question, subject to approval by
                Lender, or (iii) by capitalizing Net Operating Income at a nine
                and one-half percent

<PAGE>


                (9.5%) capitalization rate. The Net Operating Income of such
                property is to be calculated by the following formula:
                

               (a)    Annualized base rent determined from base rent actually
                      received in the most recent three (3) month period under
                      then existing leases;

               (b)    Less customary non-reimbursed operating expenses at market
                      rates then currently applicable to factory outlet centers;

               (c)    Less a reserve equal to ten cents ($.10) times the number
                      of gross leasable square feet of floor area of the
                      buildings on the subject property.

               For purposes of determining whether the required debt service
               coverage test is satisfied by the Net Operating Income from the
               properties securing the Remaining Related Loans, the Net
               Operating Income of all remaining properties, determined in
               accordance with the foregoing formula, shall be divided by the
               annual debt service payable under the Remaining Related Loans
               (and any junior loans) secured by those properties.

        C.      If the conditions set forth in this Section 3 are satisfied, the
                prepayment premium with respect to the Loan shall be equal to
                the greater of: (i) the positive amount, if any, equal to (a)
                the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due
                under this Note from the date on which prepayment is to be made
                (the "Prepayment Date") to and including the maturity date of
                this Note, less (b) the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment; or (ii) an amount equal to
                one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment. All present values shall
                be calculated as of the Prepayment Date, using a discount rate,
                compounded monthly, equal to the yield rate, converted to its
                monthly equivalent, of the United States Treasury Security
                having the closest maturity date to the maturity date of this
                Note, as established in the Wall Street Journal or other
                business publication of general circulation five (5) business
                days prior to the Prepayment Date.

               Provided no default existing under any of the Loan Documents or
               Related Loan Documents, the prepayment premium shall not be
               applicable to a prepayment resulting from Lender's election to
               require insurance loss proceeds or condemnation awards to be
               applied to a payment of principal.

               No partial prepayment shall be allowed.

        The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full without
 premium during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Note.

        4. Interest After Default; Acceleration. While any default exists in the
making of any of said payments or in the performance or observance of any of the


<PAGE>

covenants or agreements of this Note, or of any of the other Loan Documents, or
of any of the Related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, failure to
make payment in full of all amounts due under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or under any Related Loan Documents, by the Maturity Date, the
undersigned further promises to pay, on each monthly payment date, additional
interest on the principal balance of this Note then outstanding at the rate
representing the difference between the aforesaid rate and twelve and
seven-eighths percent (12.875%) per annum, provided that any additional interest
which has accrued shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to
the curing of any default. Upon any default under this Note, the other Loan
Documents, or the Related Loan Documents which shall continue uncured after the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, the holder of this Note may
apply payments received on any amounts due hereunder or under the terms of the
Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents as said holder may determine and,
if the holder of this Note so elects, notice of election being expressly waived,
the principal remaining unpaid with accrued interest and all other amounts due
hereunder shall at once become due and payable.

        5. Payment After Default And Acceleration. Borrower acknowledges that
the Loan evidenced hereby was made on the basis and assumption that Lender would
receive the payments of principal and interest set forth herein for the full
term of the Loan. Therefore, whenever the maturity of the Loan has been
accelerated by reason of a default under this Note, any of the other Loan
Documents or the Related Loan Documents which has continued uncured beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, which default occurs prior
to the time period, if any, in which prepayment is allowed, including an
acceleration by reason of sale, conveyance, further encumbrance or other default
(which acceleration shall be at Lender's sole option), there shall be due, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and other sums
due under this Note and the Loan Documents, a premium equal to the greater of:

        A.     The sum obtained by:

               (i)     Multiplying the then outstanding principal balance due by
                       the difference obtained by subtracting the yield rate on
                       publicly traded United States Treasury Securities (as
                       published in the Wall Street Journal or other business
                       publication of general circulation five (5) business days
                       prior to the date of said payment) having the closest
                       matching maturity date to the Maturity Date from the
                       interest rate on this Note adjusted to its semi-annual
                       equivalent rate (8.005%), times the number of scheduled
                       monthly payments remaining in the term of this Note,
                       divided by twelve; and

               (ii)   Adding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then
                      outstanding principal balance; or

        B. An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding
principal balance.

<PAGE>



        In the event such default or acceleration occurs on or after the date on
which prepayment is permitted under Section 3 of this Note and the preconditions
to such prepayment set forth in Section 3(A) are satisfied, then in lieu of the
above-described premium, payment of a premium calculated in the manner set forth
in Section 3(C), shall be required. In the event the yield rate on publicly
traded United States Treasury Securities is not obtainable, then the nearest
equivalent issue or index shall be selected, at Lender's reasonable
determination, and used in calculating the premium hereunder.

        A tender of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby, paid at any time following such default or acceleration,
including at a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment, and, at
Lender's option, such payment shall include a premium as described above.

        6. Waivers. The undersigned waives presentment, protest and demand,
notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, notice of
intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, and notice of acceleration,
and agrees to pay all costs of collection when incurred, including attorneys'
and paralegals' fees, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants,
conditions, provisions and agreements of the undersigned contained in every Loan
Document. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
installment hereof made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of
any of the undersigned not a party to such agreement. Notwithstanding any
provision herein or in any Loan Document, the total liability for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the usury laws
of the State of Iowa.

        7. Limitation on Liability. In any action brought to enforce the
obligation of the parties executing the Loan Documents to pay the indebtedness
or perform the other obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the
judgment or decree shall be enforceable against such parties only to the extent
of their interests in the properties, rights, estates and interests covered by
the Iowa Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents (all
such properties, rights, estates and interests are hereinafter referred to as
the "Security"), and any such judgment shall not be subject to execution on, nor
be a lien on, assets of such parties other than their interests in the Security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender
for: (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation and waste; (ii) any rents, issues
or profits collected more than one (1) month in advance of their due dates;
(iii) any misapplication of security deposits, insurance proceeds, or
condemnation awards or other sums of like nature to condemnation awards; (iv)
liability under any environmental covenants, conditions and indemnity contained
in the Loan Documents or Related Loan Documents and in any separate
environmental indemnity agreement; (v) failure to pay real estate taxes or
assessments, or failure to pay valid mechanic's liens; (vi) reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by Lender if Lender
prevails in any legal matter; and (vii) after a default which has continued
uncured beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period,
misapplication of 

<PAGE>

any rents and other payments, including, without limitation,
both base and percentage rents, contributions of tenants and lease termination
fees, received from tenants under space leases of the Security.

        8. Security, Cross-Default, Cross-Collateralization, Governing Law. This
Note is given for a loan of Twenty Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($20,550,000.00) and is secured by (i) the Iowa Mortgage; (ii) the Iowa
Assignment; (iii) the other Loan Documents other than this Note; and (iv) the
Related Loan Documents other than the Related Notes. The Loan and the Related
Loans are all secured by, and are entitled to the benefits of, the Iowa
Mortgage, the Iowa Assignment, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan
Documents. It is the express intention of Borrower and Lender that the Loan and
each of the Related Loans be, and they hereby are, cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized. Accordingly, a default under this Note or the other Loan
Documents will constitute an event of default under the Related Loan Documents,
and a default under any of the Related Loan Documents will constitute an event
of default under this Note and the other Loan Documents. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa.

        WITNESS the execution and delivery hereof under seal on the day and year
first above written.

                                     MAINE PROMISSORY NOTE

 $6,700,000.00                                      -------------------, 1999

        1. Debt and Payment. For Value Received, the undersigned, Tanger
Properties Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership (the
"Borrower") hereby promises to pay to the order of John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company (the "Lender"), a Massachusetts corporation, at its Home
Office at John Hancock Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02117, or at such other
place, or to such other party or parties, as the holder of this Note may from
time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Six Million Seven
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,700,000.00) (the "Loan") with interest to be
computed from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan at the rate
of seven and seven-eighths percent (7.875%) per annum, payable on the first day
of each and every month beginning May 1, 1999, upon all principal remaining from
time to time unpaid; principal and interest to be paid in installments as
follows: Fifty-One Thousand One Hundred Fifty-eight and 12/100ths Dollars
($51,158.12) on May 1, 1999 and a like amount on the first day of each and every
month thereafter through April 1, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"), inclusive;
provided, however, that the amount of the final payment aforesaid shall be for
the amount of principal and interest then remaining unpaid. If the Loan proceeds
are not disbursed on the first day of a month, then interest only at the rate
specified above from and including the date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds
to the first day of the month following such disbursement shall be due and
payable in advance on the date of such disbursement.

        The Loan is secured by the Maine Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement
(the "Maine Mortgage") and the Maine Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "Maine
Assignment"), both of even date herewith. Also given in connection with the Loan
is the Maine Indemnification Agreement (the "Maine Indemnification"), also of
even date herewith. This Note, the Maine Mortgage, the Maine Assignment and the
Maine Indemnification are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Loan
Documents".

        Unless Lender elects otherwise, all sums received by Lender in payment
under this Note shall be applied first to late charges, costs of collection or
enforcement, expenditures by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and similar
amounts, if any, due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents or the
Related Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then to interest due and
payable under this Note, and the remainder to principal due and payable under
this Note.

        2. Related Loans. The Loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents
is made simultaneously with four other loans by Lender to Borrower, all
evidenced by four (4) notes of even date herewith in the following amounts (the
"Related Notes") and secured by first mortgages (or deeds of trust) on factory
outlet centers at the following locations, which loans are hereinafter referred
to collectively as the "Related Loans", the Related Notes and the other
instruments evidencing and securing the Related Loans (other than the Loan
Documents) being referred to collectively as the "Related Loan Documents":

        3. Permitted Prepayment. Except as provided below, Borrower may not
prepay the principal balance of this Note in whole or in part.

        Borrower may, on any scheduled payment date on or after April 1, 2003,
and subject to giving Lender not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety
(90) days prior written notice, prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note together with any and all accrued interest and other sums due
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents, subject to a prepayment
premium described below and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

        A.      It shall be a pre-condition of any such prepayment: (i) that all
                of the Related Loans shall be prepaid in full in accordance with
                the terms of their respective Related Loan Documents
                simultaneously with the prepayment in full on the Loan, or (ii)
                if no uncured default exists under the Loan or under any of the
                Related Loans, that Lender shall, in its sole reasonable
                discretion, allow the Loan, either alone or together with one or
                more of the Related Loans, to be prepaid in full, provided (a)
                that the Related Loans which are not then being prepaid
                (hereinafter the "Remaining Related Loans") shall have a ratio
                of outstanding principal balance to value of the properties
                securing the Remaining Related Loans that, in the aggregate, is
                less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) (such loan to value
                ratio to be determined as hereinafter provided), and (b) that
                the aggregate net operating income ("Net Operating Income") from
                the properties securing the Remaining Related Loans shall equal
                or exceed 1.30 times the total debt service payable under the
                Remaining Related Loans and under any loans ("junior loans")
                secured by liens junior to those of the Remaining Related Loans
                (without any implication that junior loans are permitted under
                the Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents) (such ratio is
                hereinafter referred to as "required debt service coverage" and
                shall be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
                hereinafter provided).

         B.     For purposes of the preceding paragraph, property values shall
                be determined, at Borrower's election, by one of the following
                methods: (i) by an appraisal performed by an appraiser mutually
                acceptable to Borrower and Lender with experience in the
                appraisal of retail shopping center properties and who is a
                Member of the Appraisal Institute, at Borrower's expense, (ii)
                by a totally arm's-length bona fide third party offer to
                purchase the property in question, subject to approval by
                Lender, or (iii) by capitalizing Net Operating Income at a nine
                and one-half percent (9.5%) capitalization rate. The Net
                Operating Income of such property is to be calculated by the
                following formula:






<PAGE>


               (a)    Annualized base rent determined from base rent actually
                      received in the most recent three (3) month period under
                      then existing leases;

               (b)    Less customary non-reimbursed operating expenses at market
                      rates then currently applicable to factory outlet centers;

               (c)    Less a reserve equal to ten cents ($.10) times the number
                      of gross leasable square feet of floor area of the
                      buildings on the subject property.

               For purposes of determining whether the required debt service
               coverage test is satisfied by the Net Operating Income from the
               properties securing the Remaining Related Loans, the Net
               Operating Income of all remaining properties, determined in
               accordance with the foregoing formula, shall be divided by the
               annual debt service payable under the Remaining Related Loans
               (and any junior loans) secured by those properties.

        C.      If the conditions set forth in this Section 3 are satisfied, the
                prepayment premium with respect to the Loan shall be equal to
                the greater of: (i) the positive amount, if any, equal to (a)
                the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due
                under this Note from the date on which prepayment is to be made
                (the "Prepayment Date") to and including the maturity date of
                this Note, less (b) the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment; or (ii) an amount equal to
                one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment. All present values shall
                be calculated as of the Prepayment Date, using a discount rate,
                compounded monthly, equal to the yield rate, converted to its
                monthly equivalent, of the United States Treasury Security
                having the closest maturity date to the maturity date of this
                Note, as established in the Wall Street Journal or other
                business publication of general circulation five (5) business
                days prior to the Prepayment Date.

               Provided no default existing under any of the Loan Documents or
               Related Loan Documents, the prepayment premium shall not be
               applicable to a prepayment resulting from Lender's election to
               require insurance loss proceeds or condemnation awards to be
               applied to a payment of principal.

               No partial prepayment shall be allowed.

        The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full without
premium during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Note.

        4. Interest After Default; Acceleration. While any default exists in the
making of any of said payments or in the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of this Note, or of any of the other Loan Documents, or
of any 

<PAGE>



of the Related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, failure to
make payment in full of all amounts due under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or under any Related Loan Documents, by the Maturity Date, the
undersigned further promises to pay, on each monthly payment date, additional
interest on the principal balance of this Note then outstanding at the rate
representing the difference between the aforesaid rate and twelve and
seven-eighths percent (12.875%) per annum, provided that any additional interest
which has accrued shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to
the curing of any default. Upon any default under this Note, the other Loan
Documents, or the Related Loan Documents which shall continue uncured after the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, the holder of this Note may
apply payments received on any amounts due hereunder or under the terms of the
Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents as said holder may determine and,
if the holder of this Note so elects, notice of election being expressly waived,
the principal remaining unpaid with accrued interest and all other amounts due
hereunder shall at once become due and payable.

        5. Payment After Default And Acceleration. Borrower acknowledges that
the Loan evidenced hereby was made on the basis and assumption that Lender would
receive the payments of principal and interest set forth herein for the full
term of the Loan. Therefore, whenever the maturity of the Loan has been
accelerated by reason of a default under this Note, any of the other Loan
Documents or the Related Loan Documents which has continued uncured beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, which default occurs prior
to the time period, if any, in which prepayment is allowed, including an
acceleration by reason of sale, conveyance, further encumbrance or other default
(which acceleration shall be at Lender's sole option), there shall be due, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and other sums
due under this Note and the Loan Documents, a premium equal to the greater of:

        A.     The sum obtained by:

               (i)     Multiplying the then outstanding principal balance due by
                       the difference obtained by subtracting the yield rate on
                       publicly traded United States Treasury Securities (as
                       published in the Wall Street Journal or other business
                       publication of general circulation five (5) business days
                       prior to the date of said payment) having the closest
                       matching maturity date to the Maturity Date from the
                       interest rate on this Note adjusted to its semi-annual
                       equivalent rate (8.005%), times the number of scheduled
                       monthly payments remaining in the term of this Note,
                       divided by twelve; and

               (ii)   Adding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then
                      outstanding principal balance; or

        B. An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding
           principal balance.

<PAGE>


        In the event such default or acceleration occurs on or after the date on
which prepayment is permitted under Section 3 of this Note and the preconditions
to such prepayment set forth in Section 3(A) are satisfied, then in lieu of the
above-described premium, payment of a premium calculated in the manner set forth
in Section 3(C), shall be required. In the event the yield rate on publicly
traded United States Treasury Securities is not obtainable, then the nearest
equivalent issue or index shall be selected, at Lender's reasonable
determination, and used in calculating the premium hereunder.

        A tender of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby, paid at any time following such default or acceleration,
including at a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment, and, at
Lender's option, such payment shall include a premium as described above.

affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of
any of the undersigned not a party to such agreement. Notwithstanding any
provision herein or in any Loan Document, the total liability for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the usury laws
of the State of Maine.

        7. Limitation on Liability. In any action brought to enforce the
obligation of the parties executing the Loan Documents to pay the indebtedness
or perform the other obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the
judgment or decree shall be enforceable against such parties only to the extent
of their interests in the properties, rights, estates and interests covered by
the Maine Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents (all

                                   MICHIGAN PROMISSORY NOTE

 $7,475,000.00                                  --------------------, 1999

        1. Debt and Payment. For Value Received, the undersigned, Tanger
Properties Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership (the
"Borrower") having a mailing address of P.O. Box 29168, Greensboro, North
Carolina 27429 or 1400 West Northwood, Greensboro, North Carolina 27408, hereby
promises to pay to the order of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company (the
"Lender"), a Massachusetts corporation, at its Home Office at John Hancock
Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02117, or at such other place, or to such other
party or parties, as the holder of this Note may from time to time designate in
writing, the principal sum of Seven Million Four Hundred Seventy-five Thousand
Dollars ($7,475,000.00) (the "Loan") with interest to be computed from the date
of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan at the rate of seven and
seven-eighths percent (7.875%) per annum, payable on the first day of each and
every month beginning May 1, 1999, upon all principal remaining from time to
time unpaid; principal and interest to be paid in installments as follows:
Fifty-seven Thousand Seventy-five and 66/100ths Dollars ($57,075.66) on May 1,
1999 and a like amount on the first day of each and every month thereafter
through April 1, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"), inclusive; provided, however, that
the amount of the final payment aforesaid shall be for the amount of principal
and interest then remaining unpaid. If the Loan proceeds are not disbursed on
the first day of a month, then interest only at the rate specified above from
and including the date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds to the first day of
the month following such disbursement shall be due and payable in advance on the
date of such disbursement.

        The Loan is secured by the Michigan Mortgage and Security Agreement (the
"Michigan Mortgage") and the Michigan Assignment of Leases and Rents (the
"Michigan Assignment"), both of even date herewith. Also given in connection
with the Loan is the Michigan Indemnification Agreement (the "Michigan
Indemnification"), also of even date herewith. This Note, the Michigan Mortgage,
the Michigan Assignment and the Michigan Indemnification are hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "Loan Documents".

        Unless Lender elects otherwise, all sums received by Lender in payment
under this Note shall be applied first to late charges, costs of collection or
enforcement, expenditures by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and similar
amounts, if any, due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents or the
Related Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then to interest due and
payable under this Note, and the remainder to principal due and payable under
this Note.

        2. Related Loans. The Loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents
is made simultaneously with four other loans by Lender to Borrower, all
evidenced by four (4) notes of even date herewith in the following amounts (the
"Related Notes") and secured by first mortgages (or deeds of trust) on factory
outlet centers at the following locations, which loans are hereinafter referred
to collectively as the "Related Loans", the Related Notes and the other
instruments evidencing and securing the Related Loans (other than the Loan
Documents) being referred to

   Location of Center                                       Amount of Loan

   San Marcos, Hays County, Texas                            $20,000,000.00

        3. Permitted Prepayment. Except as provided below, Borrower may not
prepay the principal balance of this Note in whole or in part.

        Borrower may, on any scheduled payment date on or after April 1 , 2003,
and subject to giving Lender not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety
(90) days prior written notice, prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note together with any and all accrued interest and other sums due
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents, subject to a prepayment
premium described below and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

        A.      It shall be a pre-condition of any such prepayment: (i) that all
                of the Related Loans shall be prepaid in full in accordance with
                the terms of their respective Related Loan Documents
                simultaneously with the prepayment in full on the Loan, or (ii)
                if no uncured default exists under the Loan or under any of the
                Related Loans, that Lender shall, in its sole reasonable
                discretion, allow the Loan, either alone or together with one or
                more of the Related Loans, to be prepaid in full, provided (a)
                that the Related Loans which are not then being prepaid
                (hereinafter the "Remaining Related Loans") shall have a ratio
                of outstanding principal balance to value of the properties
                securing the Remaining Related Loans that, in the aggregate, is
                less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) (such loan to value
                ratio to be determined as hereinafter provided), and (b) that
                the aggregate net operating income ("Net Operating Income") from
                the properties securing the Remaining Related Loans shall equal
                or exceed 1.30 times the total debt service payable under the
                Remaining Related Loans and under any loans ("junior loans")
                secured by liens junior to those of the Remaining Related Loans
                (without any implication that junior loans are permitted under
                the Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents) (such ratio is
                hereinafter referred to as "required debt service coverage" and
                shall be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
                hereinafter provided).

        B.      For purposes of the preceding paragraph, property values shall
                be determined, at Borrower's election, by one of the following
                methods: (i) by an appraisal performed by an appraiser mutually
                acceptable to Borrower and Lender with experience in the
                appraisal of retail shopping center properties and who is a
                Member of the Appraisal Institute, at Borrower's expense, (ii)
                by a totally arm's-length bona fide third party offer to
                purchase the property in question, subject to approval by
                Lender, or (iii) by capitalizing Net Operating Income at a nine
                and one-half percent (9.5%) capitalization rate. The Net
                Operating Income of such property is to be calculated by the
                following formula:


<PAGE>


               (a)    Annualized base rent determined from base rent actually
                      received in the most recent three (3) month period under
                      then existing leases;

               (b)    Less customary non-reimbursed operating expenses at market
                      rates then currently applicable to factory outlet centers;

               (c)    Less a reserve equal to ten cents ($.10) times the number
                      of gross leasable square feet of floor area of the
                      buildings on the subject property.

               For purposes of determining whether the required debt service
               coverage test is satisfied by the Net Operating Income from the
               properties securing the Remaining Related Loans, the Net
               Operating Income of all remaining properties, determined in
               accordance with the foregoing formula, shall be divided by the
               annual debt service payable under the Remaining Related Loans
               (and any junior loans) secured by those properties.

        C.      If the conditions set forth in this Section 3 are satisfied, the
                prepayment premium with respect to the Loan shall be equal to
                the greater of: (i) the positive amount, if any, equal to (a)
                the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due
                under this Note from the date on which prepayment is to be made
                (the "Prepayment Date") to and including the maturity date of
                this Note, less (b) the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment; or (ii) an amount equal to
                one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment. All present values shall
                be calculated as of the Prepayment Date, using a discount rate,
                compounded monthly, equal to the yield rate, converted to its
                monthly equivalent, of the United States Treasury Security
                having the closest maturity date to the maturity date of this
                Note, as established in the Wall Street Journal or other
                business publication of general circulation five (5) business
                days prior to the Prepayment Date.

               Provided no default existing under any of the Loan Documents or
               Related Loan Documents, the prepayment premium shall not be
               applicable to a prepayment resulting from Lender's election to
               require insurance loss proceeds or condemnation awards to be
               applied to a payment of principal.

               No partial prepayment shall be allowed.

        The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full without
premium during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Note.

        4. Interest After Default; Acceleration. While any default exists in the

<PAGE>


making of any of said payments or in the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of this Note, or of any of the other Loan Documents, or
of any of the Related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, failure to
make payment in full of all amounts due under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or under any Related Loan Documents, by the Maturity Date, the
undersigned further promises to pay, on each monthly payment date, additional
interest on the principal balance of this Note then outstanding at the rate
representing the difference between the aforesaid rate and twelve and
seven-eighths percent (12.875%) per annum, provided that any additional interest
which has accrued shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to
the curing of any default. Upon any default under this Note, the other Loan
Documents, or the Related Loan Documents which shall continue uncured after the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, the holder of this Note may
apply payments received on any amounts due hereunder or under the terms of the
Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents as said holder may determine and,
if the holder of this Note so elects, notice of election being expressly waived,
the principal remaining unpaid with accrued interest and all other amounts due
hereunder shall at once become due and payable.

        5. Payment After Default And Acceleration. Borrower acknowledges that
the Loan evidenced hereby was made on the basis and assumption that Lender would
receive the payments of principal and interest set forth herein for the full
term of the Loan. Therefore, whenever the maturity of the Loan has been
accelerated by reason of a default under this Note, any of the other Loan
Documents or the Related Loan Documents which has continued uncured beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, which default occurs prior
to the time period, if any, in which prepayment is allowed, including an
acceleration by reason of sale, conveyance, further encumbrance or other default
(which acceleration shall be at Lender's sole option), there shall be due, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and other sums
due under this Note and the Loan Documents, a premium equal to the greater of:

        A.     The sum obtained by:

                (i)   Multiplying the then outstanding principal balance due by
                      the difference obtained by subtracting the yield rate on
                      publicly traded United States Treasury Securities (as
                      published in the Wall Street Journal or other business
                      publication of general circulation five (5) business days
                      prior to the date of said payment) having the closest
                      matching maturity date to the Maturity Date from the
                      interest rate on this Note adjusted to its semi-annual
                      equivalent rate (8.005%), times the number of scheduled
                      monthly payments remaining in the term of this Note,
                      divided by twelve; and

               (ii)   Adding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then
                      outstanding principal balance; or

        B. An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding
           principal balance.


<PAGE>

        In the event such default or acceleration occurs on or after the date on
which prepayment is permitted under Section 3 of this Note and the preconditions
to such prepayment set forth in Section 3(A) are satisfied, then in lieu of the
above-described premium, payment of a premium calculated in the manner set forth
in Section 3(C), shall be required. In the event the yield rate on publicly
traded United States Treasury Securities is not obtainable, then the nearest
equivalent issue or index shall be selected, at Lender's reasonable
determination, and used in calculating the premium hereunder.

        A tender of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby, paid at any time following such default or acceleration,
including at a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment, and, at
Lender's option, such payment shall include a premium as described above.

        6. Waivers. The undersigned waives presentment, protest and demand,
notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, notice of
intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, and notice of acceleration,
and agrees to pay all costs of collection when incurred, including attorneys'
and paralegals' fees, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants,
conditions, provisions and agreements of the undersigned contained in every Loan
Document. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
installment hereof made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of
any of the undersigned not a party to such agreement. Notwithstanding any
provision herein or in any Loan Document, the total liability for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the usury laws
of the State of Michigan.

        7. Limitation on Liability. In any action brought to enforce the
obligation of the parties executing the Loan Documents to pay the indebtedness
or perform the other obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the
judgment or decree shall be enforceable against such parties only to the extent
of their interests in the properties, rights, estates and interests covered by
the Michigan Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents
(all such properties, rights, estates and interests are hereinafter referred to
as the "Security"), and any such judgment shall not be subject to execution on,
nor be a lien on, assets of such parties other than their interests in the
Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be personally liable to
Lender for: (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation and waste; (ii) any rents,
issues or profits collected more than one (1) month in advance of their due
dates; (iii) any misapplication of security deposits, insurance proceeds, or
condemnation awards or other sums of like nature to condemnation awards; (iv)
liability under any environmental covenants, conditions and indemnity contained
in the Loan Documents or Related Loan Documents and in any separate
environmental indemnity agreement; (v) failure to pay real estate taxes or
assessments, or failure to pay valid mechanic's liens; (vi) reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by Lender if Lender
prevails in any legal matter; and (vii) after a default which has continued
uncured beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period,


<PAGE>


misapplication of any rents and other payments, including, without limitation,
both base and percentage rents, contributions of tenants and lease termination
fees, received from tenants under space leases of the Security.

        8. Security, Cross-Default, Cross-Collateralization, Governing Law. This
Note is given for a loan of Seven Million Four Hundred Seventy-five Thousand
Dollars ($7,475,000.00) and is secured by (i) the Michigan Mortgage; (ii) the
Michigan Assignment; (iii) the other Loan Documents other than this Note; and
(iv) the Related Loan Documents other than the Related Notes. The Loan and the
Related Loans are all secured by, and are entitled to the benefits of, the
Michigan Mortgage, the Michigan Assignment, the other Loan Documents and the
Related Loan Documents. It is the express intention of Borrower and Lender that
the Loan and each of the Related Loans be, and they hereby are, cross-defaulted
and cross-collateralized. Accordingly, a default under this Note or the other
Loan Documents will constitute an event of default under the Related Loan
Documents, and a default under any of the Related Loan Documents will constitute
an event of default under this Note and the other Loan Documents. This Note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Michigan.

        WITNESS the execution and delivery hereof under seal on the day and year
first above written.

of each and every month thereafter through April 1, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"),
inclusive; provided, however, that the amount of the final payment aforesaid
shall be for the amount of principal and interest then remaining unpaid. If the
Loan proceeds are not disbursed on the first day of a month, then interest only
at the rate specified above from and including the date of disbursement of the
Loan proceeds to the first day of the month following such disbursement shall be
due and payable in advance on the date of such disbursement. TIME IS OF THE
ESSENCE of the provisions of this Note respecting all payments hereunder.

        The Loan is secured by the Georgia Deed to Secure Debt (the "Georgia
Deed") and the Georgia Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "Georgia
Assignment"), both of even date herewith. Also given in connection with the Loan
is the Georgia Indemnification Agreement (the "Georgia Indemnification"), also
of even date herewith. This Note, the Georgia Deed, the Georgia Assignment and
the Georgia Indemnification are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Loan Documents".

        Unless Lender elects otherwise, all sums received by Lender in payment
under this Note shall be applied first to late charges, costs of collection or
enforcement, expenditures by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and similar
amounts, if any, due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents or the
Related Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), then to interest due and
payable under this Note, and the remainder to principal due and payable under
this Note.

        2. RELATED LOANS. The Loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents
is made simultaneously with four other loans by Lender to Borrower, all
evidenced by four (4) notes of even date herewith in the following amounts (the
"Related Notes") and secured by first mortgages (or deeds of trust) on factory
outlet centers at the following locations, which loans are hereinafter referred
to collectively as the "Related Loans", the Related Notes and the other
instruments evidencing and securing the Related Loans (other than the Loan
Documents) being referred to

        3. PERMITTED PREPAYMENT. Except as provided below, Borrower may not
prepay the principal balance of this Note in whole or in part.

        Borrower may, on any scheduled payment date on or after April 1, 2003,
and subject to giving Lender not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety
(90) days prior written notice, prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of
this Note together with any and all accrued interest and other sums due
hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents, subject to a prepayment
premium described below and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:

        A.      It shall be a pre-condition of any such prepayment: (i) that all
                of the Related Loans shall be prepaid in full in accordance with
                the terms of their respective Related Loan Documents
                simultaneously with the prepayment in full on the Loan, or (ii)
                if no uncured default exists under the Loan or under any of the
                Related Loans, that Lender shall, in its sole reasonable
                discretion, allow the Loan, either alone or together with one or
                more of the Related Loans, to be prepaid in full, provided (a)
                that the Related Loans which are not then being prepaid
                (hereinafter the "Remaining Related Loans") shall have a ratio
                of outstanding principal balance to value of the properties
                securing the Remaining Related Loans that, in the aggregate, is
                less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) (such loan to value
                ratio to be determined as hereinafter provided), and (b) that
                the aggregate net operating income ("Net Operating Income") from
                the properties securing the Remaining Related Loans shall equal
                or exceed 1.30 times the total debt service payable under the
                Remaining Related Loans and under any loans ("junior loans")
                secured by liens junior to those of the Remaining Related Loans
                (without any implication that junior loans are permitted under
                the Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents) (such ratio is
                hereinafter referred to as "required debt service coverage" and
                shall be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as
                hereinafter provided).

        B.      For purposes of the preceding paragraph, property values shall
                be determined, at Borrower's election, by one of the following
                methods: (i) by an appraisal performed by an appraiser mutually
                acceptable to Borrower and Lender with experience in the
                appraisal of retail shopping center properties and who is a
                Member of the Appraisal Institute, at Borrower's expense, (ii)
                by a totally arm's-length bona fide third party offer to
                purchase the property in question, subject to approval by
                Lender, or (iii) by capitalizing Net Operating Income at a nine
                and one-half percent

<PAGE>

                (9.5%)  capitalization  rate.  The Net Operating  Income of such
                property is to be calculated by the following formula:

               (a)    Annualized base rent determined from base rent actually
                      received in the most recent three (3) month period under
                      then existing leases;

               (b)    Less customary non-reimbursed operating expenses at market
                      rates then currently applicable to factory outlet centers;

               (c)    Less a reserve equal to ten cents ($.10) times the number
                      of gross leasable square feet of floor area of the
                      buildings on the subject property.

               For purposes of determining whether the required debt service
               coverage test is satisfied by the Net Operating Income from the
               properties securing the Remaining Related Loans, the Net
               Operating Income of all remaining properties, determined in
               accordance with the foregoing formula, shall be divided by the
               annual debt service payable under the Remaining Related Loans
               (and any junior loans) secured by those properties.

        C.      If the conditions set forth in this Section 3 are satisfied, the
                prepayment premium with respect to the Loan shall be equal to
                the greater of: (i) the positive amount, if any, equal to (a)
                the sum of the present values of all scheduled payments due
                under this Note from the date on which prepayment is to be made
                (the "Prepayment Date") to and including the maturity date of
                this Note, less (b) the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to ---- such prepayment; or (ii) an amount
                equal to one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note
                immediately prior to such prepayment. All present values shall
                be calculated as of the Prepayment Date, using a discount rate,
                compounded monthly, equal to the yield rate, converted to its
                monthly equivalent, of the United States Treasury Security
                having the closest maturity date to the maturity date of this
                Note, as established in the Wall Street Journal or other
                business publication of general circulation five (5) business
                days prior to the Prepayment Date.

               Provided no default existing under any of the Loan Documents or
               Related Loan Documents, the prepayment premium shall not be
               applicable to a prepayment resulting from Lender's election to
               require insurance loss proceeds or condemnation awards to be
               applied to a payment of principal.

               No partial prepayment shall be allowed.

        The principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full without
premium during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term of this Note.

        4. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. While any default exists in the


<PAGE>



making of any of said payments or in the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of this Note, or of any of the other Loan Documents, or
of any of the Related Loan Documents, including, without limitation, failure to
make payment in full of all amounts due under this Note or any of the other Loan
Documents or under any Related Loan Documents, by the Maturity Date, the
undersigned further promises to pay, on each monthly payment date, additional
interest on the principal balance of this Note then outstanding at the rate
representing the difference between the aforesaid rate and twelve and
seven-eighths percent (12.875%) per annum, provided that any additional interest
which has accrued shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to
the curing of any default. Upon any default under this Note, the other Loan
Documents, or the Related Loan Documents which shall continue uncured after the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, the holder of this Note may
apply payments received on any amounts due hereunder or under the terms of the
Loan Documents or the Related Loan Documents as said holder may determine and,
if the holder of this Note so elects, notice of election being expressly waived,
the principal remaining unpaid with accrued interest and all other amounts due
hereunder shall at once become due and payable.

        5. PAYMENT AFTER DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION. Borrower acknowledges that
the Loan evidenced hereby was made on the basis and assumption that Lender would
receive the payments of principal and interest set forth herein for the full
term of the Loan. Therefore, whenever the maturity of the Loan has been
accelerated by reason of a default under this Note, any of the other Loan
Documents or the Related Loan Documents which has continued uncured beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, which default occurs prior
to the time period, if any, in which prepayment is allowed, including an
acceleration by reason of sale, conveyance, further encumbrance or other default
(which acceleration shall be at Lender's sole option), there shall be due, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and other sums
due under this Note and the Loan Documents, a premium equal to the greater of:

        A.     The sum obtained by:

               (i)     Multiplying the then outstanding principal balance due by
                       the difference obtained by subtracting the yield rate on
                       publicly traded United States Treasury Securities (as
                       published in the Wall Street Journal or other business
                       publication of general circulation five (5) business days
                       prior to the date of said payment) having the closest
                       matching maturity date to the Maturity Date from the
                       interest rate on this Note adjusted to its semi-annual
                       equivalent rate (8.005%), times the number of scheduled
                       monthly payments remaining in the term of this Note,
                       divided by twelve; and

               (ii)   Adding an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the then
                      outstanding principal balance; or

        B. An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then


<PAGE>

                      outstanding principal balance.


        In the event such default or acceleration occurs on or after the date on
which prepayment is permitted under Section 3 of this Note and the preconditions
to such prepayment set forth in Section 3(A) are satisfied, then in lieu of the
above-described premium, payment of a premium calculated in the manner set forth
in Section 3(C), shall be required. In the event the yield rate on publicly
traded United States Treasury Securities is not obtainable, then the nearest
equivalent issue or index shall be selected, at Lender's reasonable
determination, and used in calculating the premium hereunder.

        A tender of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness
evidenced hereby, paid at any time following such default or acceleration,
including at a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment, and, at
Lender's option, such payment shall include a premium as described above.

        6. WAIVERS. The undersigned waives presentment, protest and demand,
notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, notice of
intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, and notice of acceleration,
and agrees to pay all costs of collection when incurred, including attorneys'
and paralegals' fees, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants,
conditions, provisions and agreements of the undersigned contained in every Loan
Document. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any
installment hereof made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in part, of
any of the undersigned not a party to such agreement. Notwithstanding any
provision herein or in any Loan Document, the total liability for payments in
the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits now imposed by the usury laws
of the State of Georgia.

        7. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. In any action brought to enforce the
obligation of the parties executing the Loan Documents to pay the indebtedness
or perform the other obligations evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the
judgment or decree shall be enforceable against such parties only to the extent
of their interests in the properties, rights, estates and interests covered by
the Georgia Deed, the other Loan Documents and the Related Loan Documents (all
such properties, rights, estates and interests are hereinafter referred to as
the "Security"), and any such judgment shall not be subject to execution on, nor
be a lien on, assets of such parties other than their interests in the Security.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender
for: (i) fraud, intentional misrepresentation and waste; (ii) any rents, issues
or profits collected more than one (1) month in advance of their due dates;
(iii) any misapplication of security deposits, insurance proceeds, or
condemnation awards or other sums of like nature to condemnation awards; (iv)
liability under any environmental covenants, conditions and indemnity contained
in the Loan Documents or Related Loan Documents and in any separate
environmental indemnity agreement; (v) failure to pay real estate taxes or
assessments, or failure to pay valid mechanic's liens; (vi) reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by Lender if Lender
prevails in any legal matter; and (vii) after a default which has continued


<PAGE>

uncured beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period,
misapplication of any rents and other payments, including, without limitation,
both base and percentage rents, contributions of tenants and lease termination
fees, received from tenants under space leases of the Security.

        8. SECURITY, CROSS-DEFAULT, CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION, GOVERNING LAW. This
Note is given for a loan of Eleven Million Seven Hundred Seventy-five Thousand
Dollars ($11,775,000.00) and is secured by (i) the Georgia Deed; (ii) the
Georgia Assignment; (iii) the other Loan Documents other than this Note; and
(iv) the Related Loan Documents other than the Related Notes. The Loan and the
Related Loans are all secured by, and are entitled to the benefits of, the
Georgia Deed, the Georgia Assignment, the other Loan Documents and the Related
Loan Documents. It is the express intention of Borrower and Lender that the Loan
and each of the Related Loans be, and they hereby are, cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized. Accordingly, a default under this Note or the other Loan
Documents will constitute an event of default under the Related Loan Documents,
and a default under any of the Related Loan Documents will constitute an event
of default under this Note and the other Loan Documents. This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

        WITNESS the execution and delivery hereof under seal on the day and year
first above written.
