ITEM 31.  SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES.
 
    Not applicable.
 
ITEM 32.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
    The  following sets forth  certain information as to  all securities sold by
the Company  within the  last three  years that  were not  registered under  the
Securities  Act. As to such transactions,  an exemption is claimed under Section
4(2) and/or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
 
    On July 16, 1993, the Company issued  100 shares of Common Stock to  Michael
W.  Reschke for  $10 per  share, or an  aggregate consideration  of $1,000. This
Common Stock  was purchased  solely for  investment purposes  to facilitate  the
organization of the Company. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, all
of  the shares so  acquired by Mr. Reschke  were redeemed by  the Company for an
aggregate redemption price of $1,000.
 
    In addition, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, the Company  caused
the  Operating  Partnership  to  issue 9,200,800  Common  Units  to  the Limited
Partners in exchange for  their respective interests in  the Properties and  the
Management  and Development Operations.  Also at the time  of the Initial Public
Offering, the Operating Partnership loaned, on a recourse basis, $2.5 million to
each of Messrs. Rosenthal and  Carpenter who used the  proceeds of such loan  to
each purchase 125,000 additional Common Units. The Company has issued options to
purchase  a total of 585,000  shares of Common Stock  pursuant to the 1994 Stock
Incentive Plan and options to purchase a total of 600,000 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to  the  1995  Stock  Incentive Plan  to  certain  executives  and  the
Company's independent directors.
 
ITEM 33.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    The  Charter and Bylaws  authorize the Company to  indemnify its present and
former directors  and  officers  and  to pay  or  reimburse  expenses  for  such
individuals  in advance of the final disposition  of a proceeding to the maximum
extent permitted from time  to time under Maryland  law. The MGCL provides  that
indemnification of a person who is a party, or threatened to be made a party, to
legal proceedings by reason of the fact that such a person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation, or is or was serving as a director,
officer,  employee or agent of  a corporation or other firm  at the request of a
corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in  settlement,
is  mandatory  in certain  circumstances and  permissive  in others,  subject to
authorization   by   the   board   of   directors,   so   long   as   a   person
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
seeking  indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in  or not  opposed to  the best interests  of the  corporation and,  with
respect  to  criminal proceedings,  had no  reason  to believe  that his  or her
conduct was unlawful.
 
    The Company's officers and  directors are also  indemnified pursuant to  the
Operation  Partnership  Agreement  and their  respective  employment agreements,
which agreements  were  filed  in connection  with  the  Company's  Registration
Statement on Form S-11 pursuant to the Initial Public Offering.
 
    The  Company has purchased an insurance  policy which purports to insure the
officers and directors of  the Company against  certain liabilities incurred  by
them  in the discharge of their functions  as such officers and directors except
for liabilities resulting from their own malfeasance.

ITEM 36.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters,
at  the closing  specified in the  Underwriting Agreement,  certificates in such
denominations and registered in  such names as required  by the Underwriters  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    (1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information  omitted  from  the  form  of  prospectus  filed  as  part  of  this
registration  statement in reliance upon Rule 430A  and contained in the form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant  to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or  497(h)
under  the  Securities Act  shall  be deemed  to  be part  of  this Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall  be
deemed  to be  a new registration  statement relating to  the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to  be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
                                      II-7

    Insofar  as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted  to directors and  officers of the  Registrant pursuant to  the
provisions  referred to in Item  33 above or otherwise,  the Registrant has been
informed that in  the opinion  of the  Securities and  Exchange Commission  such
indemnification  is  against  public policy  as  expressed  in the  Act  and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or  controlling person of the Registrant in  the
successful  defense of  any action,  suit or  proceedings), is  asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the  question of  whether such  indemnification  by it  is against
public policy as expressed  in the Securities  Act and will  be governed by  the
final adjudication of such issue.

                Thirteen Factory Outlet Centers and          [*]     
    

Ladies and Gentlemen:

   
         We are pleased to advise you that we, or an entity affiliated with 
us or acting on our behalf (the "LENDER"), agree (i) to make a mortgage loan 
(the "LOAN") to Borrowers (as hereinafter defined) secured by the Mortgaged 
Premises (as hereinafter defined) and other collateral, (ii) to make 
available certain mezzanine financing (the "MEZZANINE LOAN") to Borrowers, 
(iii) under certain circumstances described herein to make available certain 
additional financing to Borrowers or an Affiliate thereof (such financing, 
the "PREFERRED EQUITY") and                   [*] 
         available to Prime Retail, L.P. ("PRIME RETAIL"), in 
each case on the terms, and subject to the conditions, hereinafter set forth:

                      A.     MORTGAGE LOAN TERMS

1.  SECURITIZATION.

   
    (a)  It is intended that the Loan will be assigned to a trust to be 
         formed by an affiliate of Lender, as depositor, (the "TRUST") which 
         will issue one or more classes of mortgage pass-through certificates
         (the "SENIOR CERTIFICATES") 

                                      [*]

                 The Senior Certificates will represent beneficial
         ownership interests in the Loan and certain other assets of the Trust.

    (b)  It is also intended that the Mezzanine Loan will be assigned to the
         Trust or another trust to be formed by an affiliate of Lender, as
         depositor, and such trust will issue mortgage pass-through certificates
         (the "JUNIOR CERTIFICATES," and, together with the Senior Certificates,
         the "CERTIFICATES") 
                                      [*]

         It is anticipated that the Senior Certificates will be offered to
         investors in a Rule 144A offering and/or other private placement and
         that the Junior Certificates will be purchased by Prime Retail or an
         affiliate of Prime Retail.
    
    (c)  It is further anticipated that Preferred Equity may be issued by
         Borrowers or an affiliate thereof and purchased by Lender under the
         terms and conditions set forth herein.
   
    (d)                               [*]
    

    (e)  The parties intend that the date of issuance of the Certificates, and
         if applicable, the Preferred Equity (such issuances, the
         "SECURITIZATION," and such date, the "SECURITIZATION CLOSING DATE")
         shall be not later than September 30, 1996.  Both parties agree to
         cooperate in good faith to achieve such timing; provided that the
         foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender's terms and conditions
         or approval rights hereunder.

                                       -3-                         May 24, 1996

    (f)  In the event that the Securitization does not occur by September 30,
         1996, notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment, the per
         annum interest rate on the Mezzanine Loan shall be increased to LIBOR
         (as hereinafter defined) plus 5.20%, commencing on October 1, 1996.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate on the Mezzanine Loan
         shall be increased to such rate prior to October 1, 1996 under the 
         circumstances set forth in Paragraph 19 of this Part A. In the event
         that the Securitization does not occur by the date that is six months
         after the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) of the Loan and
         Mezzanine Loan (the "SIX MONTH DATE"), except as otherwise provided in
         the following sentence, notwithstanding any other provision of this
         Commitment, at any time after the Six Month Date Lender shall have the
         right to notify Borrower demanding repayment of the Loan and Mezzanine
         Loan on the date that is six months from the date of such notice (the
         "NOTICE DUE DATE"), and Borrower shall be required to repay the Loan
         and Mezzanine Loan on the Notice Due Date.  Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, Lender may give a Termination Notice (as defined in
         Paragraph 19 of this Part A) prior to the Six Month Date, in which
         event Borrower shall be required to repay the Loan and Mezzanine Loan
         one year thereafter; and if at any time on or after the Six Month Date
         Lender has not yet given notice under this clause (f), and Borrower
         refuses to enter into a Construction Related Amendment pursuant to
         Paragraph 19 of this Part A, any notice to Borrower to repay the Loan
         and Mezzanine Loan given under this clause (f) by Lender shall be
         deemed to constitute a Termination Notice and shall comply with the
         provisions of Paragraph 19 of this Part A with respect to Termination
         Notices.

    (g)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment, Borrowers shall
         have the right to prepay the Loan or Mezzanine Loan without payment of
         a prepayment fee at any time prior to the Securitization Closing Date;
         provided that (i) prepayment of the Loan may not be made unless the
         Mezzanine Loan is also prepaid (provided, however, that Borrower shall
         have the right to prepay the Mezzanine Loan without prepaying the
         Loan), (ii) each of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid in
         whole only and (iii) Borrowers pay all other amounts due to Lender
         under the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and this Commitment.
   
2.  PRINCIPAL AMOUNT.  The aggregate initial principal amount of the Loan (net
    of the amount in the Expansion Escrow (as hereinafter defined)) (such net
    amount of the Loan, the "NET LOAN") shall be $226,500,000 (the "ANTICIPATED
    SENIOR SIZE").

                                      [*]
    
3.  LOAN COMPONENTS.  Each class of Senior Certificates will represent a 
    particular rating level.  The initial principal amount of the Loan will be
    divided into two or more components (collectively "COMPONENTS," and each
    individually a "COMPONENT"), each of which will correspond to a class of the
    Senior Certificates, and will have the same principal amount and payment
    terms as its corresponding Senior Certificate class.  If origination of the
    Loan occurs prior to pricing of the Senior Certificates, Lender will
    determine the amounts of the Components based on its best estimate of the
    final Senior Certificates, and such amounts will be adjusted at the time of
    the initial pricing of the Certificates to equal the initial principal
    amount of the corresponding class of Senior Certificates.

4.  INTEREST RATE.

    (a)  The initial weighted average interest rate per annum on the Loan will
         equal the London Interbank offered rate for thirty (30) day deposits in
         U.S. dollars ("LIBOR") plus a margin equal to one and twenty four one
         hundredths percent (1.24%) (the "ANTICIPATED MARGIN") plus seven one
         hundredths percent (.07%), which represents the anticipated per annum
         fees payable to the trustee and servicer for the Senior Certificates
         (the "ANTICIPATED SERVICING FEE RATE").  LIBOR shall be determined by
         Lender on the basis of Telerate Page 3750, or if at any time LIBOR
         cannot be determined from Telerate Page 3750, on the basis of standard
         backup methods for LIBOR determination.

         The interest rate for each Component will be set at the time of the
         initial pricing of the Senior Certificates to equal LIBOR plus the
         margin on the corresponding class of Senior Certificates plus the per
         annum fees payable to the trustee and servicer for the Senior
         Certificates (the per annum amount of such fees, the "SERVICING FEE
         RATE").  Interest on the Loan and each Component thereof will be
         calculated based on the actual number of days in each interest accrual
         period and a three hundred sixty (360) day year.  The interest accrual
         period for the Loan will be the period from each payment date to the
         day preceding the next payment date.  LIBOR for each interest accrual
         period will be determined as described in the preceding paragraph on
         the second London banking day preceding the commencement of such
         interest accrual period.

         The interest rate on the Loan (the "INTEREST RATE") will at all times
         equal the weighted average of the interest rates on the Components;
         provided, however that prior to the Securitization Closing Date the
         per annum interest rate on the Loan shall at all times equal LIBOR
         plus 1.31%.

    (b)  From and after the Increased Amortization Date (as hereinafter
         defined), the per annum margin over LIBOR at which interest accrues on
         each component will be increased by two percent (2%) (the per annum
         interest rate on each Component, as increased by such increase in
         margin, the "INCREASED COMPONENT RATE" and the weighted average of the
         Increased Component Rates, the "INCREASED INTEREST RATE").

    (c)  The "INCREASED AMORTIZATION DATE" is the date that is seven years from
         first payment date after the Closing Date; provided that the Increased
         Amortization Date will be adjusted at the time of pricing of the Senior
         Certificates to be the date that is seven years from the first payment
         date after the Securitization Closing Date.

5.  TERM.  The Loan shall initially have a term of thirty (30) years, subject to
    clause (f) of Paragraph 1 of this Part A. The term of the Loan shall be
    adjusted at the time of pricing of the Certificates to be 30 years from the
    Securitization Closing Date.

6.  PAYMENTS.  Borrower shall make monthly payments under the Loan on account of
    interest and principal monthly in arrears on the eleventh day of each month,
    or if such eleventh day is not a business day, on the next business day, as
    follows:

    (a)  From the Closing Date to the Securitization Closing Date a variable
         amount equal to interest at the Interest Rate (or if applicable, the
         Increased Interest Rate) in effect from time to time.

    (b)  From the Securitization Closing Date until the Increased Amortization
         Date (as hereinafter defined), a variable amount equal to the sum of
         (i) interest at the Initial Interest Rate in effect from time to time
         plus (ii) a payment (the "AMORTIZATION PAYMENT") on account of
         principal determined on a fixed amortization schedule over a thirty
         year period assuming interest is paid at a rate equal to the initial
         weighted average interest rate under the Loan throughout such thirty
         (30) year period.

    (c)  From and after the Increased Amortization Date (if after the
         Securitization Closing Date), interest and principal in an amount equal
         to (i) the Amortization Payment plus (ii) accrued interest at the
         Increased Interest Rate in effect from time to time, provided that,
         unless the Lender requires Borrower to purchase a replacement Cap (as
         hereinafter defined) after the Increased Amortization Date any portion
         of such accrued interest in excess of the amount that would have
         accrued if the Increased Interest Rate equaled the Derived Constant
         Rate (as hereinafter defined) and interest shall accrue on such
         deferred amount at the Increased Interest Rate (such accrued and
         deferred interest, and interest thereon, the "DEFERRED INTEREST") until
         the principal amount of the Loan shall have been paid in full, plus
         (iii) the Excess Cash Flow (as hereinafter defined under



<PAGE>


                                          -6-                      May 24, 1996

          "LOCKBOX AGREEMENT") for the preceding month, which Excess Cash Flow 
          shall be applied to reduction of the outstanding principal balance 
          of the Loan.

     (d)  The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all 
          accrued and unpaid interest, including, without limitation, the 
          Deferred Interest, shall be due and payable at maturity.

     (e)  Payments of principal on the Loan shall be applied to the 
          Components of the Loan in the order of the rating level of the 
          corresponding class of Certificates, so that no Component will 
          receive a payment of principal unless all Components corresponding 
          to a class of Certificates having a higher rating level than the 
          Certificates corresponding to such Component have been paid in 
          full; provided, however, that if such feature is acceptable to the 
          Rating Agencies (without causing any Rating Agency to decrease its 
          proposed rating of any class of Certificates or the principal 
          amount of such class that is permitted to obtain such rating) and 
          either (i) such feature would not increase the weighted average 
          margin on the Senior Certificates, or (ii) Borrower agrees that 
          Lender shall not bear any cost related to such feature that Lender 
          would otherwise bear under Paragraph 9 of this Part A.

7.   INTEREST RATE CAP.  At the initial pricing of the Senior 
     Certificates, Borrower will be required to purchase an interest rate 
     cap (the "CAP") from a counterparty (the "CAP COUNTERPARTY") which has a 
     long term unsecured debt rating from each Rating Agency of "AAA" or its 
     equivalent or if acceptable to the Rating Agencies (without causing any 
     Rating Agency to decrease its proposed rating of any class of 
     Certificates or the principal amount of such class that is permitted to 
     obtain such rating) of not less than "AA" or its equivalent and which 
     is otherwise acceptable to Lender (provided that Lender shall not 
     require a rating of greater than "AA" or its equivalent if an "AA" or 
     equivalent rating is acceptable to the Rating Agencies as aforesaid).  
     Lender hereby confirms that the counterparties set forth in the 
     memorandum dated May 21, 1996 entitled "Potential Cap Counterparties" 
     from Michael Bontrager and Dave Hall of Chatham Financial Corporation 
     to Steven S. Gothelf (attached as Exhibit A hereto) are acceptable to 
     Lender for so long as they are rated not less than "AA" or its 
     equivalent.  The Cap shall mature on the Increased Amortization Date.  
     The Cap shall require the Counterparty to make monthly payments on each 
     payment date under the Loan through the Increased Amortization Date in 
     an amount at least equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of 
     LIBOR for the related interest accrual period over the Required Cap 
     Strike Rate (as hereinafter defined), (ii) the principal amount of the 
     Loan during such interest accrual period, and (iii) the actual number 
     of days in such interest accrual period divided by three hundred and 
     sixty (360).  The "REQUIRED CAP STRIKE RATE" as of any date is equal to 
     the interest rate derived from the Rating Agency Senior Constant (after 
     giving effect to the actual amortization schedule of the Loan) (such 
     interest rate, the "DERIVED CONSTANT RATE") less the weighted average 
     margin on the Loan in effect from time to time, assuming the Loan 
     amortizes in accordance with its amortization

                                      -7-                          May 24, 1996

     schedule and there are no prepayments or defaults, or if so required by 
     any Selected Rating Agency, less such higher margin as such Rating 
     Agency may require.  Borrower at its option may purchase a Cap that 
     requires payments to be made in accordance with the preceding formula 
     except that the LIBOR rate at which the Counterparty is required to 
     make payments is lower at all times than the Required Cap Strike Rate 
     (such lower rate, the "ACTUAL CAP STRIKE RATE").  The Cap shall have 
     such other terms and conditions as shall be acceptable to Lender.

     All fees payable to the Cap Counterparty under the Cap shall be paid by 
     Borrower on the origination date of the Securitization.

     In the event that the rating of the Cap Counterparty shall be 
     downgraded below "AA" or its equivalent, or shall be qualified or 
     withdrawn, by any Rating Agency, or there shall be a breach or default 
     by the Cap Counterparty under the Cap, Borrower shall be obligated, at 
     Lender's direction, to terminate such Cap and to purchase another 
     interest rate cap having identical payment terms and maturity and 
     otherwise acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion from a 
     counterparty rated "AAA" or its equivalent or if acceptable to the 
     Selected Rating Agencies (and would not cause any such Rating Agency to 
     downgrade from its initial rating, qualify or withdraw its ratings of 
     the Senior Certificates) of not less than "AA" or its equivalent; 
     provided, that if Borrower obtains a written confirmation from each 
     Selected Rating Agency that such failure to terminate and replace such 
     Cap will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade from their initial 
     ratings, qualify or withdraw the ratings of the Certificates Borrower 
     shall not be required to terminate and replace such Cap for so long as 
     such letter is effective.  Any such replacement cap shall be subject to 
     replacement on the same terms and under the same conditions as the 
     original Cap.  The counterparty for any replacement Cap shall be 
     selected by Borrower from a list of counterparties reasonably agreed to 
     by Borrower and Lender, or if Borrower and Lender are unable to agree 
     upon a list, shall be selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion; 
     provided that such counterparty shall have the required rating 
     described above.

     In the event that the Loan is not repaid on the Increased Amortization 
     Date, if required by Lender, Borrower will be obligated on the 
     Increased Amortization Date and/or thereafter to purchase an additional 
     cap or caps on such terms as such Lender shall require.

     In the event that at any time after the Closing Date and prior to the 
     Securitization Closing Date LIBOR shall be six and one half percent 
     (6.50%) or higher, Borrowers shall be required to purchase one or more 
     interest rate caps (the "PRE-SECURITIZATION CAPS") for each of the Loan 
     and Mezzanine Loan within five business days after LIBOR shall equal or 
     exceed such rate on the same terms and conditions as the initial Cap, 
     except that (i) the term of such Pre-Securitization Caps shall be for 
     one year (unless Lender has given Borrower notice of a Notice Due Date 
     or has given a Termination Notice for the Loan and Mezzanine Loan or 
     Borrower has given Lender

     notice of prepayment of the Loan and/or Mezzanine Loan, in each case 
     such that the maturity of the Loan and/or Mezzanine Loan, as 
     applicable, occurs prior to one year, in which event the term for the 
     applicable Pre-Securitization Cap may end on the applicable maturity 
     date); provided, further, that Borrower, in its sole discretion, may 
     purchase a Pre-Securitization Cap for a period which expires after such 
     maturity date, (ii) the "strike rate" over LIBOR at which payments are 
     required to be made by the counterparty shall be eight and one half 
     percent (8.50%), in the case of the Pre-Securitization Cap for the Loan, 
     and seven and one half percent (7.50%) in the case of the 
     Pre-Securitization Cap for the Mezzanine Loan or in each case, such 
     other strike rate as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties, both 
     acting reasonably, and (iii) the principal amount on which payments are 
     calculated shall be the principal amount of the Loan, in the case of 
     the Pre-Securitization Cap for the Loan, and the principal amount of 
     the Mezzanine Loan, in the case of the Pre-Securitization Cap for the 
     Mezzanine Loan.  In the event that following the expiration of the 
     initial Pre-Securitization Cap the Loan or Mezzanine Loan shall remain 
     outstanding and the Securitization Closing Date shall not have 
     occurred, if at any time thereafter LIBOR shall be six and one half 
     percent (6.50%) or higher, Lender shall have the right to require 
     Borrower to purchase an additional Pre-Securitization Cap for the Loan 
     and/or Mezzanine Loan, as the case may be, for the remaining term that 
     the Loan and/or Mezzanine Loan, as the case may be, is outstanding.

     Borrowers may elect in lieu of purchasing any interest rate cap 
     required under this paragraph to purchase an interest rate swap that 
     would result in the same payments being made to Borrowers; provided 
     however, that in all cases, including a swap purchased prior to the 
     Securitization, (i) the use of a swap is acceptable to the Rating 
     Agencies (without causing any Rating Agency to decrease its proposed 
     rating of any class of Certificates or the principal amount of such 
     class that is permitted to obtain such rating) and (ii) the use of a 
     swap would not compromise the single-purpose bankruptcy-remote status 
     of the Borrowers.

     Each cap or swap shall be pledged to secure the Loan and payments on 
     each cap shall be paid directly into the account maintained under the 
     Lockbox Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or into a collection account 
     maintained under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Senior 
     Certificates.

10. PREPAYMENT PRIVILEGE.  The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, on sixty
    (60) days prior written notice to Lender, by paying the portion of the
    outstanding principal balance being prepaid together with interest to the
    date of such payment (or, if such payment is on a date other than a payment
    date under the Loan, interest to the next succeeding payment date following
    such payment) and any other amounts which may be owing under the terms of
    the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), including a prepayment fee 
    equal to (a) two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal balance of

    the Loan, if such prepayment occurs in the first (1st) Loan year, or (b) one
    percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, if such
    prepayment occurs in the second (2nd) Loan year (except as otherwise 
    permitted under Paragraph 1 of this Part A). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
    no prepayment fee shall be payable in connection with the application by
    Lender of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to reduce the 
    outstanding principal balance of the Loan.  In addition, notwithstanding the
    foregoing, Lender shall use its best efforts to obtain market pricing of the
    Senior Certificates assuming that there is no prepayment fee in the second
    year of the Loan, and if such feature does not increase the weighted average
    margin on the Senior Certificates or Borrower agrees to bear the full cost
    of any such increase, there will be no prepayment fee in the second year of
    the Loan.

    If Lender exercises its right to accelerate the maturity date following any
    default (beyond applicable notice and/or grace period) by Borrower, any
    tender of payment, whether made by Borrower, its successors or assigns or by
    anyone on behalf of Borrower, of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire
    indebtedness remaining at any time prior to a foreclosure sale, shall be
    deemed (a) to constitute an evasion of the prepayment privilege and (b) to
    be a voluntary prepayment, which shall require payment of the prepayment fee
    set forth herein.

11. SECURITY.  The Loan shall be (a) evidenced by thirteen (13) promissory notes
    each of which shall have the same number of Component notes as the number of
    classes of Senior Certificates (individually and collectively, the "NOTE")
    made by the respective Borrowers in favor of Lender, each in an original
    principal amount to be allocated by Lender (each such amount, an "ALLOCATED
    AMOUNT"), which Allocated Amounts shall, in the aggregate, equal the
    original principal amount of the Net Loan and (b) secured by, among other
    things, (i) a separate first mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt,
    leasehold mortgage or leasehold deed of trust (individually and 
    collectively, the "MORTGAGE") executed by each Borrower in favor of Lender
    covering such Borrower's fee simple estate in one of those eleven (11)
    parcels of real property identified by project name on SCHEDULE B attached
    hereto and all right, title and interest of the applicable Borrowers in, to
    and under those two (2) leases (the "GROUND LEASES") affecting the projects
    identified by name on SCHEDULE B-1 attached hereto and all of the
    applicable Borrowers' right, title and interest in, to and under such Leases
    (including, without limitation, all right, title and interest of the
    applicable Borrower in, to and under the purchase option contained in the 
    Ground Lease encumbering Land in MacIntosh County, Georgia (the "MAGNOLIA
    BLUFFS LEASE"), and the leasehold estates created by the Ground Leases in
    those two (2) parcels of real property identified by project name on
    SCHEDULE B-1 (such fee and leasehold parcels are hereinafter referred to,
    individually and collectively, as the "LAND"), the factory outlet centers
    and all other buildings and improvements constructed on the Land (the 
    "IMPROVEMENTS" and, together with the Land and all right, title and
    interest of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Leases and the leasehold
    estates created thereby, individually and collectively, as the context 
    requires, the "MORTGAGED PREMISES"), (ii) a first priority, perfected,

    present and absolute assignment (individually and collectively, the
    "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS") by each Borrower each in favor of Lender
    of all leases, rents, profits and other income ("RENTS") arising from or
    related to the Mortgaged Premises, (iii) a guarantee of payment
    (individually and collectively, the "GUARANTEE") by each Borrower,
    guaranteeing payment of each Note executed by the other Borrowers, (iv) a
    separate second mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt, leasehold
    mortgage or leasehold deed of trust (individually and collectively, the
    "SECOND MORTGAGE") executed by each Borrower in favor of Lender as security
    for the Guarantee executed by such Borrower, covering such Borrower's fee
    simple estate, or leasehold estate, as applicable, in each Mortgaged
    Premises, (v) a separate second priority, perfected assignment
    (collectively, the "SECOND ASSIGNMENT") by each Borrower in favor of Lender
    as security for the Guaranty executed by such Borrower, covering all Rents
    arising from or relating to the Mortgaged Premises, (vi) a lockbox
    agreement (the "LOCKBOX AGREEMENT") between each Borrower and Lender
    pursuant to which all Rents shall be (A) paid by the tenants of the
    Mortgaged Premises directly into the Lockbox Account (as hereinafter
    defined) and (B) allocated by Lender to separate subaccounts to create
    Reserves (as hereinafter defined), (vii) a first priority, perfected
    security interest in all Reserves and Escrows (as hereinafter defined), and
    each interest rate cap and the Expansion Escrow (as hereinafter defined),
    including any investments in which any of the foregoing is permitted to be
    invested, (viii) a first priority, perfected security interest in all
    furniture, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment now or hereafter installed
    in, affixed to, placed upon, or used in connection with the Mortgaged
    Premises, except for any such items of property which are owned by tenants
    or other parties which are not affiliated with Borrowers, and (ix) a first
    priority, perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of
    Prime Retail, L.P. in, to and under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of
    February 28, 1995, as amended (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), between Prime Retail,
    L.P., as lender, and MacIntosh County Industrial Development Authority, as
    borrower, in the amount of $22,730,000, entered into in connection with the
    Magnolia Bluff Lease.  If the proposed security structure causes Borrowers
    to incur unreasonable expenses for mortgage recording taxes and/or title
    insurance premiums, Lender and Borrower shall in good faith consider 
    alternative structures to provide Lender with equivalent security at reduced
    expense.  The Expansion Escrow shall be evidenced by a promissory note by
    all Borrowers in favor of Lender in the principal amount of the Expansion
    Escrow and secured by Mortgages on all the Mortgaged Premises.

12. BORROWER.  "BORROWER" means each of those thirteen general or limited
    partnerships listed on SCHEDULE A attached hereto, each of which shall be
    a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote limited partnership wholly owned,
    directly or indirectly, by Prime Retail.  Each Borrower's organizational
    documents shall be satisfactory to Lender and to the Rating Agencies and
    shall not be amended during the term of the Loan without Lender's prior
    written consent.  No Borrower shall own any assets other than its Mortgaged
    Premises nor conduct any business other than the ownership and operation

                                     -21-                          May 24, 1996

     of its Mortgaged Premises.  During the term of the Loan, no Borrower 
     shall incur any debt (including debt to related parties) other than the 
     Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and the Preferred Equity.  The Loan 
     Documents and each Borrower's organizational documents shall require 
     such Borrower to comply with all of the Rating Agencies' standards for 
     bankruptcy-remote status, including, without limitation, (a) 
     maintaining its separate status and identity, (b) not commingling 
     assets with those of any other entity (including related parties), (c) 
     not guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable for the obligations of 
     any other entity (including related parties), except pursuant to the 
     Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents and (d) having a 
     corporate general partner that is itself a single-purpose bankruptcy 
     remote entity and has an "independent director" on its board of 
     directors.

13.  MANAGER.  Each Mortgaged Premises shall be managed by Prime 
     Retail, L.P. (in such capacity, "MANAGER") pursuant to the provisions 
     of such Borrower's partnership agreement.  The fees, expenses and 
     reimbursements payable to Manager for such management services shall 
     not exceed four percent (4%) or such other percentage as is used by the 
     Selected Rating Agencies in determining Loan Net Cash Flow of the Rents 
     (as hereinafter defined).  On the Closing Date, each Borrower shall 
     deliver to Lender an agreement executed by such Borrower and Manager 
     that will provide, among other things, that (a) payment of Manager's 
     fees and expenses shall be subject and subordinate to payment of all 
     amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents, provided, 
     however, that after the occurrence of an event of default, Manager 
     shall be entitled to receive from the Rents (in the priority provided 
     for Operating expenses in the Lockbox) reimbursement of its actual 
     expenses of operating the Mortgage Premises up to three percent (3%) 
     of the Rents until such time as Lender may elect to have Manager 
     replaced as hereinafter provided, (b) the provisions of such Borrower's 
     partnership agreement relating to the management of its Mortgaged 
     Premises may not be amended or terminated, nor any other entity engaged 
     to manage the Mortgaged Premises, without the prior written consent of 
     Lender and the Rating Agencies, (c) Manager shall operate the Mortgaged 
     Premises in compliance with the Loan Documents and (d) Lender may cause 
     Borrower to replace Manager with a third-party manager approved by 
     Lender (i) upon the occurrence of a default, beyond any applicable 
     notice and/or grace period under the Loan Documents, (ii) if the Loan 
     DSCR shall be less than 1.20/1.00, (iii) for cause, including, without 
     limitation, Manager's gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or 
     default beyond applicable notice or grace under the Management 
     Agreement or (iv), if such provision is required by the Selected Rating 
     Agencies, upon (A) acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of the 
     ownership interest in, or of control of, Prime Retail, Inc. by any 
     party or group of related parties that does not hold such interest or 
     such control (either through ownership of stock of Prime Retail, Inc. 
     or ownership of limited partnership units in Prime Retail, L.P.) on the 
     Closing Date or (B) Prime Retail, Inc. ceasing to own one hundred 
     percent (100%) of the general partnership interest in, and to have sole 
     control of, Manager (to the same extent as Prime Retail Inc. has 
     control over Prime Retail

                                     -22-                          May 24, 1996

     under the existing terms of the partnership agreement of Prime Retail), 
     unless, with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), 
     (x) the Rating Agencies shall have delivered written confirmation that 
     any rating issued by such Rating Agencies in connection with the Loan 
     will not, as a result of such occurrence, be downgraded, qualified or 
     withdrawn and (y) the holder of the Mezzanine Loan shall have consented 
     in writing to the retention of Manager.  As used in this letter, the 
     term "CONTROL" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the 
     power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies 
     of an entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by 
     contract or otherwise.

14.  REPLACEMENT PROPERTIES.  At any time prior to the occurrence of 
     the Increased Amortization Date, any Borrower shall have the right to 
     obtain the release of any Mortgaged Premises from the lien of the 
     related Mortgage, provided that simultaneously with such release, such 
     Borrower shall either (i) execute and deliver to Lender, as security 
     for the Note, a mortgage (a "REPLACEMENT MORTGAGE") encumbering a 
     factory outlet center (a "REPLACEMENT PREMISES") and such other 
     documents (together with the Replacement Mortgage, the "REPLACEMENT 
     DOCUMENTS"), including, without limitation, documents corresponding to 
     each of the Loan Documents, Mezzanine Loan Documents and Preferred 
     Equity Documents (as hereinafter defined) required to be delivered 
     hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Premises, as Lender may require 
     in order to grant Lender a first priority, perfected lien on and 
     security interest in such Replacement Premises and all related Rents, 
     personal property, Reserves and Escrows on the same terms and 
     conditions as the liens and security interests granted to Lender in the 
     Mortgaged Premises and the related Rents, personal property, Reserves 
     and Escrows on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) under the Loan 
     and Mezzanine Loan or (ii) (provided that the Rating Agencies shall 
     have permitted the following actions in connection with their ratings 
     of the Certificates (without causing any Rating Agency to decrease its 
     proposed rating of any class of Certificates or the principal amount of 
     such class that is permitted to obtain such rating)) Borrower shall 
     cause an affiliate, wholly owned directly or indirectly by Prime Retail 
     and meeting all the objective criteria, terms, conditions and 
     requirements for Borrowers hereunder, including without limitation the 
     requirements under Paragraph 12 of this Part A of this Commitment (a 
     "REPLACEMENT BORROWER"), to execute and deliver to Lender a Note in 
     the original principal amount of the outstanding Allocated Amount of 
     the Mortgaged Premises to be released (plus any increase thereto), a 
     Replacement Mortgage encumbering Replacement Premises and Replacement 
     Documents.  All Replacement Premises and Replacement Documents shall be 
     subject to the same objective criteria, terms, conditions and 
     requirements as are imposed with respect to the Mortgaged Premises and 
     the Loan hereunder.  Each Borrower's right to obtain such release of a 
     Mortgaged Premises shall also be subject to the following conditions 
     and restrictions:

     (a)  No default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan 
          Documents.

                                     -23-                          May 24, 1996

     (b)  Borrowers shall not be entitled to obtain the release of more than 
          TWO (2) individual Mortgaged Premises in any calendar year.

     (c)  At least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed date of such release, 
          the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to Lendcr appraisals, 
          in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by a 
          third-party real estate professional reasonably approved by, Lender, 
          indicating the market value for the proposed Replacement Premises is 
          at least equal to the fair market value of the Mortgaged Premises 
          proposed to be released, as of the date of such proposed release.

     (d)  Borrower shall have delivered a Phase I environmental report and, if 
          suggested by such Phase I report, a Phase II environmental report 
          (collectively, an "ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT") in form and substance 
          reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by an environmental 
          consultant reasonably approved by, Lender, stating that the 
          Replacement Premises comply with all applicable environmental laws, 
          or if remedial steps are required to effect such compliance, 
          identifying such steps and projecting the cost thereof, in which 
          case Borrower shall be required to deposit into the Environmental 
          Escrow (as hereinafter defined) an amount equal to one hundred fifty 
          percent (150%) of such projected costs.

     (e)  Borrower shall have delivered an engineering report (an "ENGINEERING
          REPORT"), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and 
          prepared by a consulting engineer reasonably approved by, Lender, 
          stating that the Replacement Premises comply with all applicable 
          building laws and do not require performance of deferred maintenance 
          or if remedial steps are required to effect such compliance or such 
          deferred maintenance, identifying such steps and projecting the cost 
          thereof, in which case Borrower shall be required to deposit into the 
          Engineering Escrow (as hereinafter defined) an amount equal to one 
          hundred fifty percent (150%) of such projected costs.

     (f)  Borrower shall have caused to be delivered all leases, 
          title commitments, title insurance policies, surveys, hazard and 
          liability insurance, evidence of compliance with zoning and other 
          laws and other items of due diligence with respect to the 
          Replacement Premises as were required to be delivered by Borrower 
          with respect to the Mortgaged Premises pursuant to the terms 
          hereof.

     (g)  The Net Cash Flow of the Replacement Premises as of the time of 
          such release shall be at least equal to the Net Cash Flow of the 
          Mortgaged Premises to be released.

     (h)  The person transferring the Replacement Premises to Borrower, or 
          the Replacement Borrower, as the case may be (i) shall be solvent 
          and (ii) shall be making such transfer or agreeing to act as 
          Replacement Borrower and issuing the Replacement Note on an arm's 
          length basis and for fair consideration, and the Borrower and 
          such person or Replacement Borrower shall deliver

                                     -24-                          May 24, 1996

          certifications and evidence to such effect and such other 
          certifications as Lender shall reasonably require to assure itself 
          that the substitution does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance 
          on the part of any person (assuming such person were insolvent at 
          the time of substitution).

     (i)  Such other terms and conditions as the Rating Agencies shall require 
          in connection with such substitution shall be met.

     (j)  The Rating Agencies shall have delivered written confirmation that 
          any rating issued by such Rating Agencies in connection with the 
          Certificates will not, as a result of the proposed release and the 
          substitution of the Replacement Premises or the substitution of 
          the Replacement Borrower, be downgraded from their initial ratings 
          thereof, qualified or withdrawn.

     (k)  In connection with a substitution of a Replacement Borrower, 
          (i) such method of substitution shall be expressly described in 
          the nonconsolidation opinion to be delivered on the Closing Date 
          pursuant to Paragraph 16, which nonconsolidation opinion shall be 
          in form and substance, and from counsel, acceptable to Lender, 
          (ii) the same nonconsolidation opinion shall be delivered with 
          respect to such Replacement Borrower prior to the substitution and 
          (iii) such substitution shall be made in accordance with all facts 
          and assumptions relating thereto set forth in such nonconsolidation 
          opinions, and the Borrower and Replacement Borrower shall provide 
          Lender with evidence and certifications to such effect.

15.  EXPANSION ESCROWS.  Lender shall use its good faith commercially 
     reasonable efforts to persuade the Rating Agencies to permit (i) the 
     structure of the Senior Certificates to include an escrow ("EXPANSION 
     ESCROW") to be used to reflect the anticipated increase in Net Cash 
     Flow resulting from the completion of certain proposed expansions at 
     the various Mortgaged Premises and (ii) for the Expansion Escrow to be 
     released from time to time upon Borrower's satisfaction of certain 
     objective standards, which objective standards shall be mutually 
     acceptable to Borrower and the Rating Agencies.  The Expansion Escrow 
     shall have such other terms as shall be acceptable to Borrower and the 
     Rating Agencies.  It is currently intended that the size of the 
     Expansion Escrow shall be between twenty-five to fifty million dollars, 
     to the extent permitted by the Rating Agencies without impairing the 
     ratings that would otherwise obtain on the Certificates.

16.  NON-CONSOLIDATION 0PINION.  At the closing, the Borrowers shall 
     deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel, in form and substance 
     satisfactory to Lender and its counsel, to the effect that in the event 
     of a bankruptcy of Manager or any other entity that, together with any 
     related parties, directly or indirectly owns more than forty-nine 
     percent (49%) of (i) the partnership interests of any Borrower or (ii) 
     the stock of any general partner of Borrower, the assets of Borrower 
     and/or such general partner will not be consolidated into the 
     bankruptcy estate.  Such opinion shall, among other things, expressly 
     consider the effect on such consolidation risk of Borrowers' right to

                                     -25-                          May 24, 1996

     substitute Replacement Premises as collateral for the Loan or to 
     substitute a Replacement Borrower, as described in Paragraph 13 above, 
     the Guaranty executed by each Borrower, the funding of expansions of 
     the properties, and such other matters as Lender shall request.  A 
     draft of such opinion must be submitted to Lender at least one month 
     prior to the Closing Date.

17.  LOCKBOX AGREEMENT.  Each Borrower shall enter into the Lockbox 
     Agreement, pursuant to which all rental income, including expense 
     reimbursements by tenant ("RENTS") and other income from the property 
     (together with Rents, "INCOME") shall be deposited in an account (the 
     "PROPERTY ACCOUNT") in a bank approved by Lender, which Property 
     Account shall be swept daily and all funds transferred into an account 
     (the "LOCKBOX ACCOUNT") under the sole dominion and control of Lender 
     and allocated by Lender into subaccounts to provide reserves 
     ("RESERVES") for the payment of debt service, taxes and insurance 
     premiums, provided that in any calendar month, when all amounts 
     required to be deposited in the Reserves on the next payment date shall 
     have been received, Lender shall notify the bank in which the Property 
     Account is held to discontinue daily sweeps until such payment date has 
     occurred.  After the occurrence of the Increased Amortization Date, 
     Income shall also be allocated to Reserves to provide for the payment 
     of operating expenses, costs of capital improvements and repairs, 
     tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions.  Any amount of Income 
     received in the Lockbox Account after allocation to all applicable 
     Reserves ("EXCESS CASH FLOW") shall be paid over to Borrower (subject 
     to the payment requirements under the Mezzanine Loan and to the 
     provisions set forth in clause (j) of Paragraph 7 of Part E of this 
     commitment) or, if the Increased Amortization Date has occurred, 
     applied in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. 
     Borrower will be responsible for paying all fees and expenses of the 
     bank at which the Lockbox Account is maintained. The banks maintaining 
     the Lockbox Account and each Property Account shall have such short 
     term and long term unsecured debt ratings, and such accounts shall be 
     invested in such permitted investments, as shall be required by the 
     Rating Agencies for lockbox accounts for mortgaged properties 
     underlying commercial mortgage pass-through certificates having a 
     rating of "AA" or its equivalent or for investments in such accounts, 
     as the case may be.

18.  ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING ESCROWS.  On the closing date, each 
     Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to one hundred fifty 
     percent (150%) of (a) the projected costs for remedying any 
     environmental conditions on its Mortgaged Premises as recommended in 
     the Environmental Report delivered by Borrower to Lender in connection 
     with its application for the Loan (the "ENVIRONMENTAL ESCROW") and (b) 
     the projected costs of remedying any physical defects or items of 
     deferred maintenance as recommended in the Engineering Report delivered 
     by Borrower to Lender in connection with its application for the Loan 
     (the "ENGINEERING ESCROW" and, together with the Environmental Escrow, 
     the "ESCROWS").

19.  COOPERATION WITH SECURITIZATION.  Borrowers shall cooperate in all 
     respects with the securitization of the Loan and Mezzanine Loan, the 
     issuance, sale and initial rating of

                                      -26-                      May 24, 1996

        the offering of the Certificates an indemnity agreement indemnifying
        Lender and each such affiliate for any loss, claim, liability or 
        damage, including legal fees and expenses, arising from any 
        misstatement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact
        in the memorandums (provided that such indemnity shall not cover

    (c) In connection with the initial offering of the Certificates and the

    such Borrower's cost, upon satisfaction of each of the following 
    conditions:

    (a) Lender shall receive payment of an amount (the "RELEASE AMOUNT") equal
        to the sum of (i) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the then

        Loan DSCR for the Loan shall be at least equal to the greater of 
        (I) the Loan DSCR for the Loan on the Closing Date and (II) the Loan 
        DSCR for the Loan immediately prior to release of the Mortgaged

    (e) Unless the property being released is the sole Mortgaged Premises 
        owned by the applicable Borrower and such Borrower is being released
        under the Loan and Mezzanine Loan, the Mortgaged Premises being 
        released shall be transferred by the related Borrower to a third 
        party, whether affiliated with Prime Retail or otherwise.

21. BUDGET APPROVAL.  From and after the Increased Amortization Date, Borrower
    must obtain the approval of the Lender for each annual budget for the 
    Mortgaged Premises, operating expenses for the Mortgaged Premises will be

    approved a true and complete copy of all documents executed and delivered
    in connection with the issuance of the Magnolia Bluff Lease and the Loan
    Agreement, including, without limitation, copies of the Loan Agreement and

24. CONFIDENTIALITY OF CERTAIN BORROWER INFORMATION.  Lender agrees that 
    (i) information furnished by Borrower to it regarding tenant sales and 
    property figures and rent rolls and individual lease terms, and (ii) any

    financial statements, and is not specifically described and required to be
    delivered to Lender pursuant to Part E, Paragraph 7, clause (b) or clause
    (d) (other than the first sentence and last three sentences thereof) but 
    (B) is reasonably requested by the Lender pursuant to the Loan that 
    Borrower reasonably considers confidential, shall be kept confidential;
    provided that:

    (a)  Lender may include information regarding sales on a Mortgaged 
    Premises basis for the year ended December 31, 1995 and a table of
    lease expirations in the aggregate in any disclosure document regarding
    the Certificates;

    transferee signs the same confidentiality agreement);

    (c)  The servicer of the Certificates shall provide (i) to all
    Certificateholders quarterly information regarding Loan DSCR, Loan Net
    Cash Flow, and occupancy rates of the Mortgaged Premises, and (ii) upon

    transferee signs the same confidentiality agreement) quarterly 
    information regarding sales on a Mortgaged Premises basis, trends in 
    sales on a Mortgaged Premises basis and rent rolls showing such

    Senior Certificateholder (or in the case of an event of default or Loan
    DSCR decline under the Mezzanine Loan, any Junior Certificateholder) 
    that signs an agreement to keep the information confidential (provided
    that each such Certificateholder may use such information in a resale

                            B. MEZZANINE LOAN TERMS

1.  MEZZANINE BORROWER.  The borrowers of the Mezzanine Loan will be 
    the Borrowers.

2.  FORM OF FINANCING.  The Mezzanine Loan will be issued in the form 
    of a junior mortgage loan to each Borrower.  Each such junior mortgage 
    loan shall be secured by substantially the same documents as are 
    described in Paragraph 11 of Part A hereof with respect to the Loan 
    (subject to the subordination thereof to the Loan and to the rights of 
    the Lender under the Mezzanine Loan set forth in this Part B). The 
    Mezzanine Loan will be securitized in the form of the Junior 
    Certificates.

3.  PRINCIPAL AMOUNT.  The initial principal amount of the Mezzanine 
    Loan shall be $33,500,000 (the "Anticipated Junior Size").  The actual 
    initial principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan will be determined (or, 
    if pricing of the Junior Certificates occurs subsequent to the 
    origination date of the Mezzanine Loan, adjusted) at the time of the 
    initial pricing of the Junior Certificates to be not greater than the 
    Selected Rating Agency Junior Size; provided that if the Lender Junior 
    Size exceeds the Selected Rating Agency Junior Size, the excess shall 
    be originated as Preferred Equity, subject to the conditions set forth 
    in Part C of this Commitment.  In addition, in the event that any of 
    the Selected Rating Agencies does not permit there to be a class of 
    Certificates rated "BB" or its equivalent, then the Mezzanine Loan 
    shall not be made (or shall be repaid, if made) and in lieu of the 
    Mezzanine Loan, the Preferred Equity will be originated, subject to the 
    conditions set forth in Part C of this Commitment.

4.  INTEREST.  Subject to increase as provided in Paragraphs 1 and 19 
    of Part A of this Commitment, the interest rate on the Mezzanine Loan 
    prior to the Securitization Closing Date will initially be a per annum 
    rate equal to LIBOR plus three and one quarter percent (3.25%).  At 
    the pricing of the Junior Certificates, the per annum rate

    will be adjusted to be equal to the interpolated four year U.S. 
    Treasury Securities rate plus five and one half percent (5.50%) plus a 
    per annum rate equal to the per annum fees of the Servicer and Trustee 
    for the Mezzanine Loan.  Interest will be calculated on a 30/360 basis, 
    and will be payable on the same payment dates as the Loan.

    Interest, to the extent not paid on a current basis, shall accrue and 
    compound monthly at the Mezzanine Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) 
    in effect from time to time.  Upon the occurrence of a breach of the 
    Mezzanine Loan Documents and until all breaches are cured, the yield on 
    the rate on the Mezzanine Loan will be increased by 300 basis points 
    (the "MEZZANINE DEFAULT RATE").

5.  TERM.  The Mezzanine Loan will have a seven (7) year term.  At the 
    pricing of the Junior Certificates such term will be adjusted to be 
    seven (7) years from the Securitization Closing Date.

6.  AMORTIZATION.  From the Closing Date to the Securitization Closing 
    Date, the Mezzanine Loan shall be an interest only loan with principal 
    payable at maturity.  From and after the Securitization Closing Date, 
    the Mezzanine Loan will be amortized monthly over its seven year term.  
    Principal and interest shall be paid on a level pay basis over such 
    seven (7) year period, with interest on the declining principal balance.

7.  PREPAYMENT.  The Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid in whole or part, 
    on thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, by paying the 
    portion of the outstanding principal balance being prepaid together 
    with interest to the date of such payment (or, if such payment is on a 
    date other than a payment date under the Mezzanine Loan, interest to 
    the next succeeding payment date following such payment) and any other 
    amounts which may be owing under the terms of the Mezzanine Loan 
    Documents (as hereinafter defined), including a prepayment fee equal to 
    (a) two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal balance of the 
    Mezzanine Loan, if such prepayment occurs in the first (1st) Mezzanine 
    Loan year, or (b) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance 
    of the Mezzanine Loan, if such prepayment occurs in the second (2nd) 
    Mezzanine Loan year, except as otherwise permitted under Paragraph 1 of 
    Part A hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment fee shall 
    be payable in connection with the application by Lender of insurance 
    proceeds or condemnation awards to reduce the outstanding principal 
    balance of the Mezzanine Loan.

    If Lender exercises its right to accelerate the maturity date 
    following any default (beyond any applicable notice and/or grace 
    period) by Borrower, any tender of payment, whether made by Borrower, 
    its successors or assigns or by anyone on behalf of Borrower, of the 
    amount necessary to satisfy the entire indebtedness remaining at any 
    time prior to a foreclosure sale, shall be deemed (a) to constitute an 
    evasion of the prepayment privilege and (b) to be a voluntary 
    prepayment, which shall require payment of the prepayment fee set forth 
    herein.

                                     -33-                          May 24, 1996

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall prepay the Mezzanine Loan 
     in part simultaneously with any release of a Mortgaged Premises from 
     the lien of the Mortgage as discussed under Paragraph 20 of Part A of 
     this Commitment, at which time:

     (a)  Lender shall receive payment of an amount (the "MEZZANINE RELEASE 
          AMOUNT") equal to the sum of (i) one hundred twenty-five percent 
          (125%) of the then current Mezzanine Allocated Amount for such 
          Mortgaged Premises plus (ii) such additional amount, to be applied 
          in reduction of the principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan, as 
          may be necessary so that, immediately after the release of the 
          Mortgaged Premises, the combined Loan DSCR for the Loan and the 
          Mezzanine Loan shall at least equal the greater of (I) the 
          combined Loan DSCR for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan on the 
          Closing Date and (II) the combined Loan DSCR for the Loan and 
          the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to release of the Mortgaged 
          Premises or, if permitted by the Rating Agencies (without causing 
          any Rating Agency to decrease its proposed rating of any class of 
          Certificates or the principal amount of such class that is 
          permitted to obtain such rating) the combined Loan DSCR for the 
          Loan and the Mezzanine Loan on the Closing Date; and

     (b)  Lender shall receive payment of all other amounts then due and 
          payable under the Mezzanine Loan, including, without limitation, 
          any prepayment fee described above payable in connection with the 
          Mezzanine Release Amount.

8.   NET EXCESS CASH FLOW.  All Excess Cash Flow less the operating 
     expenses of Borrower ("NET EXCESS CASH FLOW") will be transferred from 
     the Lockbox Account under the Loan to a sweep account under the 
     Mezzanine Loan to be applied to payment of amounts due under the 
     Mezzanine Loan.  Any amounts of Net Excess Cash Flow remaining after 
     payment of all amounts then due under the Mezzanine Loan, subject to 
     Paragraph 11 of this Part B, will be released to Borrower.

9.   LENDER RIGHTS.  Under the Mezzanine Loan, Lender will be entitled 
     to the following consent rights with respect to the operation of 
     Borrower.  Without the consent of Lender under the Mezzanine Loan, 
     Borrower shall not merge, consolidate, or acquire assets (except in 
     connection with a permitted substitution or a permitted expansion of 
     Mortgaged Premises under the Loan and Mezzanine Loan), amend its 
     organizational documents, amend or refinance the Loan, sell or transfer 
     any of the Mortgaged Premises (except in connection with a permitted 
     substitution or release under the Loan and Mezzanine Loan), permit any 
     transfers of ownership of Borrower to occur, incur indebtedness other 
     than the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan or enter into contracts with or 
     make payments to affiliates (except on a commercially reasonable arm's 
     length basis), other than the Management Agreement approved by the 
     Lender or replace the Manager or amend the Management Agreement (in 
     either case, except if directed by Lender under the Loan).

10.  TRANSFERS.  The Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Certificates will be 
     freely transferable by Lender.  Prime Retail agrees that it (or one of 
     its affiliates) shall be the initial purchaser of the Junior 
     Certificates from Lender at a price equal to the principal amount 
     thereof plus accrued interest thereon.

11.  DEFAULT REMEDY.  In the event that payments under the Mezzanine 
     Loan are not made when due, or there is any other default under the 
     Mezzanine Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice and/or grace 
     period, Lender shall have standard remedies, including acceleration and 
     realization on its security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long 
     as the Loan is outstanding, the remedies of Lender under the Mezzanine 
     Loan shall be limited to the following: (a) Lender may cause the 
     removal of the existing property manager and designate a replacement 
     property manager, and (b) all Net Excess Cash Flow in excess of 
     scheduled payments under the Mezzanine Loan will be applied to the 
     prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan.  In addition, Lender will have the 
     right to put the Mezzanine Loan to Prime Retail at a price equal to the 
     principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on 
     the maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan or to terminate and replace the 
     existing Property Manager in the event that there is (i) a change in 
     control of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the acquisition of more than 
     fifty percent (50%) of the ownership in, or control of, Prime Retail, 
     Inc. by any party or group of related parties that does not hold such 
     interest or such control (either through stock ownership in Prime 
     Retail, Inc. or limited partnership unit ownership in Prime Retail) on 
     the Closing Date, or (iii) Prime Retail, Inc. ceasing to own one 
     hundred percent (100%) of the general partnership interest in, and to 
     have sole control of Prime Retail (to the same extent as Prime Retail 
     Inc. has control over Prime Retail under the existing terms of the 
     partnership agreement of Prime Retail).  The holder of the Mezzanine 
     Loan will have the right to cure any default under the Loan, unless the 
     Mezzanine Loan is held by Borrower or an affiliate.  Lender will also 
     have the right to exercise the foregoing remedies in clauses (a) and 
     (b) of the second sentence of this paragraph in the event that the 
     combined Loan DSCR is less than 1.15 for the trailing twelve (12) 
     month period (unless the Selected Rating Agencies shall require a 
     higher coverage test to rate the Junior Certificates the Minimum 
     Rating); provided that the right to receive Net Excess Cash Flow in 
     excess of the scheduled payments on the Mezzanine Loan upon a decline 
     in Loan DSCR will terminate in the event that the combined Loan DSCR 
     shall increase to 1.45 for four successive calendar quarters and the 
     right to receive such Net Cash Flow upon a default will terminate if 
     the default is cured.

12.  CROSS-DEFAULT.  A default under the Loan shall also constitute a default 
     under the Mezzanine Loan.

13.  SUBORDINATION OF AFFILIATE FEES.  Any fees payable by Borrowers to 
     affiliates, including management fees, shall be subordinate to the 
     Mezzanine Loan, to the same extent as under the Loan.

14.  REPURCHASE OF JUNIOR CERTIFICATES.  Lender acknowledges that [*] 
                                  has agreed to enter into a standard 
     Public Securities Association Repurchase Agreement with Prime Retail 
     with respect to the Junior Certificates, for a two year period 
     following the purchase of the Junior Certificates by Prime Retail, 
     pursuant to the terms set forth in the letter of          [*] 
            to Prime Retail of May 24, 1996, a copy of which is or 
     will be attached as Exhibit B hereto (the "Repurchase Commitment").  
     Pursuant to such letter, 75% of the fair market value of the Junior 
     Certificates will be financed under such Repurchase Agreement.  If so 
     elected by Borrower by notice given not less than five business days 
     prior to the Securitization Closing Date,       [*] 
              agrees that it or an affiliate will finance the remaining 
     25% of the fair market value of the Junior Certificates (provided, 
     however, that on the Securitization Closing Date the amount of the 
     repurchase financing provided by             [*] 
     on the Junior Certificates shall be such that the total amount of 
     repurchase agreement financing as of such date shall be not less than 
     the principal amount of the Junior Certificates; provided further that 
     at all times after the Securitization Closing Date           [*] 
                   shall not provide financing in an amount in 
     excess of 25% of the fair market value of the Junior Certificates, and 
     Prime Retail shall be required to repay or collateralize any amount of 
     financing in excess thereof) on the same terms as set forth in the 
     Repurchase Agreement and the Repurchase Commitment (including, without 
     limitation, recourse to Prime Retail Inc., solely in its capacity as 
     general partner of Prime Retail), except that the interest rate on such 
     additional financing will be equal to LIBOR plus a margin of seven 
     percent (7.00%).
    

                           C. PREFERRED EQUITY TERMS

1.   TERMS OF PREFERRED EQUITY. Preferred Equity means financing in the 
     form of subordinate debt or preferred equity and secured by the 
     Preferred Equity Excess Cash Flow.  The "PREFERRED EQUITY EXCESS CASH 
     FLOW" means the Net Excess Cash Flow of all the Borrowers less any 
     required payments on the Mezzanine Loan.  Preferred Equity may be 
     issued either by the Borrowers or by a parent of the Borrowers, which 
     shall, if elected by Lender, be a special purpose bankruptcy remote 
     entity formed for the purpose of issuing the Preferred Equity.  
     Preferred Equity shall be issued only if the legal structure and rights 
     of the Preferred Equity and the legal structure of the Preferred Equity 
     issuer are acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; provided that 
     such structure shall not require a pledge of the existing 98% general 
     partnership interest of Prime Retail in the Borrowers.


2.   AMOUNT.  Subject to the conditions in the preceding Paragraph 1 of 
     this Part C, Preferred Equity will be issued if either (i) the Lender 
     Junior Size exceeds the Selected Rating Agency Junior Size (a 
     "Sub-Mezzanine Issuance" of Preferred Equity), in which case Preferred 
     Equity will be issued in the amount of the excess or (ii) in the event 
     that any of the Selected Rating Agencies does not permit there to be a 
     class of Certificates

     rated "BB" or its equivalent (a "Mezzanine Substitute Issuance" of 
     Preferred Equity), in which case Preferred Equity will be issued in 
     the amount that can meet the Preferred Equity DSCR; provided that in 
     either event, the amount of the Preferred Equity shall not be 
     greater than that permitted by the Selected Rating Agencies under 
     the Selected Structure.

3.   RATE.  The interest rate or preferred yield on the Preferred Equity 
     shall equal (i) in the case of a Sub-Mezzanine Issuance, LIBOR plus 
     seven percent (7.00%), and (ii) in the case of a Mezzanine 
     Substitute Issuance, LIBOR plus six percent (6.00%).

4.   TERM.  The Preferred Equity shall have a four year term or a five 
     year term with the first year being interest only, if a Mezzanine 
     Substitute Issuance and a three year term if a Sub-Mezzanine 
     Issuance.  The Preferred Equity shall be issued on the 
     Securitization Closing Date.

5.   AMORTIZATION.  Except as otherwise provided in the preceding 
     Paragraph 4, the Preferred Equity shall amortize over its term based 
     on level payments of principal and interest, with interest on the 
     declining principal balance.

6.   CERTAIN RIGHTS.  Without limiting the condition in Paragraph 1 of this
     Part C, the Preferred Equity shall, unless otherwise elected by 
     Lender, have the same rights as those of the Mezzanine Loan set 
     forth in Paragraphs 4 (second paragraph), 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 of 
     Part B of this Commitment.

7.   TRANSFER.  The Preferred Equity shall be freely transferable by 
     Lender.

8.   DELAYED ISSUANCE.  If so elected by Borrower, the Preferred Equity 
     issued in a Mezzanine Substitute Issuance may provide that rather 
     than being purchased immediately it shall be purchasable in not more 
     than two (2) installments during the first year of its term (in 
     which event there shall be no amortization during such first year).

9.   INTEREST RATE CAP.  Prior to the issuance of the Preferred Equity in 
     a Mezzanine Substitute Issuance, Borrower shall purchase an interest 
     rate cap from a counterparty rated "AA" or better and included in 
     the list of permitted counterparties for the Cap with respect to the 
     Loan, and having terms reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Such 
     interest rate cap shall provide for monthly payments on the payment 
     dates for the Preferred Equity based on the initial principal amount 
     of the Preferred Equity, an actual/360 day count fraction and the 
     excess of LIBOR over the Preferred Equity Cap Required Strike Rate 
     (as hereinafter defined) and shall have a term equal to the term of 
     the Preferred Equity.  The Preferred Equity Cap Required Strike Rate 
     is seven percent (7.00%). Borrower may at its option purchase an 
     interest rate cap that requires payments to be made in accordance 
     with the preceding formula except that the LIBOR rate at which the 
     counterparty is required to make payments is lower at all times than

     the Preferred Equity Required Cap Strike Rate (such lower rate the 
     "PREFERRED EQUITY ACTUAL CAP STRIKE RATE").  Borrower shall be 
     obligated to replace any interest rate cap for the Preferred Equity 
     in the event that the rating of the counterparty shall be downgraded 
     below "AA" or its equivalent, qualified or withdrawn by any Rating 
     Agency or there shall be a breach or default thereunder.  The 
     counterparty for any replacement cap for the Preferred Equity shall 
     be selected by Borrower from a list of counterparties reasonably 
     agreed to by Borrower and Lender, or if Borrower and Lender are 
     unable to agree upon a list, shall be selected by Lender in its 
     reasonable discretion; provided that such counterparty shall have 
     the required rating set forth above.

2.   TITLE.  Title to the fee simple estate or leasehold estate, as

          of an "Urban Survey" and including items from the list of 
          "Optional Survey Responsibilities and Specifications" (Table A) 
          as reasonably required by Lender.  Such survey must (i) be certified

                transaction is usurious; and
   
          (vi)  such other matters as Lender may reasonably require,

          interest in the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof or in any 
          interest in Borrower, directly or indirectly, without the written 
          consent of Lender in its sole discretion, except in connection with 
          the Mezzanine Loan, or in the event Borrower shall sell or otherwise
          transfer the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, or agree to 
          do the same, by purchase agreement, land contract or otherwise 
          (unless Borrower's obligations under any such agreement or contract 
          shall be subject to the fulfillment of all conditions to such 
          transaction imposed by the Loan Documents), without the written 
          consent of Lender in its sole discretion, or in the event of a 
          transfer of an interest in Borrower without the written consent of 
          Lender in its sole discretion, then Lender may, at its election,

     (h)  NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CURE.  Lender will provide Borrower 
          with written notice of non-monetary defaults and an opportunity 
          to cure such defaults for thirty (30) days from such notice, 
          provided that in the case of any such default which is susceptible 
          to cure within ninety (90) days but cannot be cured within thirty 
          (30) days through the exercise of reasonable diligence, so long 
          as Borrower commences such cure within thirty (30) days, such 
          default remains susceptible to cure within ninety (90) days and 
          Borrower diligently pursues such cure, such default shall not 
          constitute an event of default under the Loan documents.

     (i)  SURVEILLANCE FEES.  Borrower will pay the surveillance 
          fees of the Rating Agencies for so long as the Loan or (if 
          interests therein are rated) the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding.

     (j)  APPLICATION OF EXCESS CASH FLOW UPON DEFAULT.  If (i) an 
          event of default under the Loan has occurred and shall be 
          continuing or (ii) the Loan DSCR shall be less than 1.20, all 
          Excess Cash Flow will be retained in Lender's cash collateral 
          account and may be applied to payment of amounts due under the 
          Loan at Lender's discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
          Lender's rights upon a default will terminate if such default is 
          cured and Lender's rights upon a decline in Loan DSCR will 
          terminate in the event that the Loan DSCR shall increase to 1.45 
          for four successive calendar quarters.

   
     (k)  ACCEPTANCE OF BIG SIX" ACCOUNTING FIRM.  Lender agrees 
          that it will accept any "Big Six" accounting firm chosen by 
          Borrower as the accounting firm to deliver and/or perform all 
          accountants' certifications or audits required under the Loan 
          Documents, Mezzanine Loan Documents    [*]      or 
          requested by Lender pursuant to this commitment.
    
     (l)  AMENDMENTS.  The applicable documents shall contain provisions

15.  NO UNDERWRITING FEE.  Borrowers shall not be required to pay any 
     underwriting or placement agency fee to Lender or any affiliate 
     thereof in connection with the offering and sale of the Certificates, 
     the Mezzanine Loan or the Preferred Equity.

16.  LIABILITY AND EXCULPATORY CONDITIONS.  Lender will agree that, 
     subject to certain customary exceptions to be determined by Lender 
     (e.g., fraud, hazardous substances, misapplication of rents, 
     insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, damage to Mortgaged 
     Premises caused by Borrower's gross negligence or willful 
     misconduct), in the event of a default under any of the instruments 
     evidencing or securing the Loan or the Mezzanine Loan, Lender shall 
     look solely to the Mortgaged Premises and the security given with 
     respect to the Mezzanine Loan as security for Borrowers' obligations 
     under the Loan and Mezzanine Loan and not to any partners of 
     Borrower; provided that the Repurchase Agreement and the provisions 
     of this letter relating thereto shall be full recourse to Prime 
     Retail and Prime Retail Inc., solely in its capacity as general 
     partner of Prime Retail.

     daily pro rata adjustment.  All late charges shall accrue to the

     applicable usury limit, whichever is less.  Any rate payment charges 
     or any other charges under the Loan that are in EXCESS of the 
     applicable usury rate will be deemed to be penalty-free prepayments 
     of principal.
