                              PART I


ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

GENERAL

     Efficiency Lodge, Inc., formerly known as Southern  Acceptance  Corporation
(the "Company"), was incorporated in 1962 as a Georgia corporation,  and engaged
in the business of real estate sales and  development in Georgia.  Specifically,
the Company purchased or built and operated motels and apartments.  In 1974, the
Company filed for bankruptcy under Chapter XI of the federal bankruptcy laws. It
emerged from bankruptcy in 1980 with a few remaining  properties.  After selling
most of its  remaining  operating  properties  in the early  1980s,  the Company
continued to engage to a limited  extent in the purchase and sale of real estate
in Georgia.  In addition to earning commissions from such real estate sales, the
Company earned interest on its notes  receivable,  rental income from its rental
properties,  and income from the purchase and sale of investment properties. The
principal  executive  offices of the Company are located at 5342 Old Floyd Road,
Mableton,  Georgia  30126,  and its  telephone  number at that  address is (770)
819-0039.

     On January 22, 1996,  the Company  entered  into an  Agreement  and Plan of
Merger with Efficiency Lodge,  Inc., a Georgia  corporation  ("ELI") pursuant to
which ELI would be merged into the  Company,  with the Company as the  surviving
corporation  assuming  ELI's name (the  "Merger").  The Merger was  effective on
December 31, 1996. In the Merger,  the ELI shareholders  received  approximately
1,102.6 shares of the common stock of the surviving  corporation  for each share
of ELI  (approximately  95% of the surviving  corporation).  Shareholders of the
Company  immediately  prior to the Merger received one share of the common stock
of the surviving  corporation  for each one hundred shares of pre-Merger  common
stock of the Company held by them,  with any resulting  fractional  shares being
cashed out at $0.10 per pre-Merger share.

     On August 5, 1999, the Company's  Shareholders  approved a 30 for 1 reverse
split of the  Company's  common  stock (the  "Reverse  Split").  Pursuant to the
Reverse Split,  fractional  shares of common stock were converted to cash at the
rate of $10.00 per share of common  stock  out-  standing  prior to the  Reverse
Split.

     ELI was formed in January 1993 as the result of the  consolidation  of five
existing  companies,  each of which operated an extended-stay  lodging facility.
ELI engaged in the business of developing  and owning  lodging  facilities  that
offer  both  temporary  and  long-term  accommodations  ("Efficiency  Lodges" or
"Lodges"). The Company now owns and operates twelve Efficiency Lodges, which are
located in or near East Point, Douglasville, Atlanta, Dekalb County, Carrollton,
Cartersville,  Forest Park,  Kennesaw,  Columbus,  and Louisville,  Georgia, and
Pensacola,  Florida.  The Lodges  have an  aggregate  of 1,357 guest  rooms.  In
addition,  the Company  owns and operates  rental  properties  consisting  of 53
single family residences, four duplex residential properties, and one commercial
property in or near Atlanta, Georgia (the "Rental Properties"). In the following
description  of  the  Company's  business,   activities  and  properties,  ELI's
business,   activities  and  properties,  except  as  otherwise  indicated,  are
described as those of the Company.

     Extended-stay  lodges such as the  Efficiency  Lodges are designed to serve
guests who  require  lodging  for a minimum of seven days in rooms  designed  to
include functional space and, in particular,  fully-equipped cooking facilities.
The extended-stay lodging industry (which includes economy extended-stay motels)
is a relatively  small but growing part of the lodging  industry.  Management of
the Company believes that the consumer demand for economy  extended-stay  lodges
is underserved and increasing.  The economic,  social and demographic changes in
the United States contributing to the demand for extended-stay  lodging include,
among others, the restructuring of corporate America,  the increased mobility of
the population of the United States,  the increase in single- person households,
the travel  requirements of a service economy and the increasingly strict credit
standards  of many  apartment  operators.  Unlike most types of rental  property
which are  generally  subject to leases of six  months or longer,  extended-stay
lodges, including Efficiency Lodges, may raise or lower rents (i.e., room rates)
with much greater  frequency  based upon  occupancy  levels.  Typical  guests in
economy  extended-stay  properties include people on short-term work or training
assignments,  individuals  in the midst of  relocation  for business or personal
reasons,

                                       -2-

military  and  government  personnel,  recreational  travelers,  and persons who
cannot meet the credit standards of apartments.

     The  Company  has  acquired  the  Rental  Properties  in and near  Atlanta,
Georgia. The Rental Properties are primarily residential buildings with one year
leases.  Rents are paid monthly.  The Company owns one commercial property which
has two tenants, both of which have one year leases.

OPERATIONS

     The Company's  operations  manual guides on-site  management of each Lodge,
which is managed by a Property  Manager,  who resides on site,  and an Assistant
Manager. Managers are trained in all aspects of extended- stay lodge operations,
with particular emphasis placed on customer service. The managers are trained to
provide  conscientious  customer  service,  they are provided with incentives to
exercise the  authority  granted to them,  and they are  efficiently  supervised
through  management  information  systems  and on-site  audits by the  Company's
management,  which visits and inspects each Efficiency  Lodge on a regular basis
to ensure that  consistency  and quality  standards are being met.  Managers and
staff receive bonuses based on both performance and occupancy.

     Each Efficiency Lodge is computerized  with a software package that handles
all on-site  transactions  and record  keeping.  The software  provides  on-site
management with a database of updated information such as available units, units
needing  cleaning or repairs,  room  charges due,  guest  payment  history,  and
telephone  volume.  Operating results are compiled and reviewed  regularly.  The
Company's  corporate  office  handles  purchasing  supplies  and  virtually  all
payments of property expenses.

     Each of the Efficiency Lodges collects data about each new guest, including
his or her occupation,  permanent residence, length of stay and how they learned
about the  Lodge.  The  Company  uses this  information  in the  preparation  of
advertising and sales materials for each specific  Efficiency Lodge. The Company
employs various marketing  techniques,  including billboard and print as well as
direct marketing to potential customer groups.

     For 1999, the overall average  occupancy rate for the Company's  Lodges was
85%, the average  weekly  rental rate was $151.69 and the revenue per  available
room was $128.66.

     The Company operates its Rental  Properties by leasing units to residential
occupants. The average occupancy rate is 98%. The average rental rate is $590.00
per month.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     The Company intends to (i) develop additional Lodges,  (ii) purchase motels
for  conversion  to the  Efficiency  Lodge format or purchase  existing  economy
extended-stay motels that meet current Company acquisition  criteria,  and (iii)
realize increased lease revenues from growth in room revenues.  The Company will
focus initially on development and  acquisition  opportunities  available in the
Southeastern  United States.  The Company may build or acquire additional Lodges
by borrowing  funds,  exchanging  capital  stock,  raising  capital  through the
issuance and sale of equity, or through its cash flow.

     In considering  opportunities for developing additional Lodges, the Company
gives strong  consideration to demographic and traffic  studies,  and it reviews
the  availability  and  pricing  of  suitable  sites,  the  costs  and  risks of
developing, the availability of financing, as well as economic variables and any
other factors  deemed  relevant.  This data is compared  against site  selection
criteria  employed by the Company and compiled from the base of existing Lodges.
Each site must satisfy the two most important variables: a high daily automobile
traffic count and a significant amount of employment within a three-mile radius.

     The Company may acquire additional economy extended-stay lodges and convert
them to Efficiency  Lodges. In appropriate  circumstances,  the Company also may
acquire and convert conventional motels into Efficiency Lodges.

                                       -3-


<PAGE>


     The  Company  considers  investments  in  existing  properties,   including
properties that would require complete renovation, which meet one or more of the
following criteria:  (i) the facility is located in an area with relatively high
demand for rooms, a relatively low supply of extended-stay  lodges, and barriers
to easy entry into the lodge  business,  such as a scarcity of suitable sites or
zoning restrictions; and (ii) the facility is in an attractive location that the
Company believes could benefit significantly by becoming an Efficiency Lodge.

COMPETITION

     The  lodging  industry  is highly  competitive.  Each  Efficiency  Lodge is
located in a developed  area that  includes  motels and other lodges and in some
cases other economy  extended-stay lodges. The Company does not believe that any
single  competitor or small number of  competitors is dominant in the markets in
which its  Lodges  are  located.  The  number  of  competitive  facilities  in a
particular area has a material  effect on occupancy and revenues of Lodges.  The
Company  seeks to  compete  based on the  prices  charged,  the  quality  of the
facilities, and service to guests.

     The Company competes for investment  opportunities with entities which have
substantially  greater  financial  resources  than the  Company  and  which as a
consequence may be in a position to accept more risk than the Company, including
risks with respect to the locations of facilities.  Such  competition may reduce
the number of  suitable  investment  opportunities  offered to the  Company  and
increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Under various federal,  state and local laws and  regulations,  an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain  hazardous,  toxic or petroleum  substances on such property.  Such laws
often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew
of, or was  responsible  for, the presence of such  substances.  Furthermore,  a
person that arranges for the disposal or transports  for disposal or treatment a
hazardous,  toxic, or petroleum  substance to another property may be liable for
the costs of removal or remediation of substances  released into the environment
at that property.  The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be
substantial,  and the  presence  of such  substances,  or the failure to conduct
remediation  promptly,  may adversely affect the value of the real estate or the
owner's  ability to sell the real  estate or to borrow  using the real estate as
collateral.

     Phase I  environmental  audits have been  obtained on all of the  Company's
Lodges.  The Phase I audits  were  intended  to  identify  potential  sources of
contamination  for which the Lodges may be responsible  and to assess the status
of environmental regulatory compliance. These audits included historical reviews
of the Lodges, reviews of certain public records,  preliminary investigations of
the sites and  surrounding  properties,  screening for the presence of asbestos,
PCB's,  and  underground  storage tanks,  and the  preparation and issuance of a
written  report.  The Phase I assessments did not include  invasive  procedures,
such as soil sampling or ground water analysis.

     The Phase I audit  reports have not revealed  any  environmental  liability
that the Company  believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets, or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any such
liability.  Nevertheless,  it is possible  that these  reports do not reveal all
environmental  liabilities or that there are material environmental  liabilities
of which the Company is unaware.

     The  Company  believes  that the Lodges and the  Rental  Properties  are in
compliance  in  all  material  respects  with  all  federal,  state,  and  local
ordinances and  regulations  regarding  hazardous or toxic  substances and other
environmental  matters.  The Company has not been  notified by any  governmental
authority  of any  material  noncompliance,  liability,  or  claim  relating  to
hazardous or toxic substances or other  environmental  issues in connection with
any of its present or former properties.


                                       -4-

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

     A number  of  states  regulate  the  licensing  of  lodging  facilities  by
requiring  registration,  disclosure  statements,  and compliance  with specific
standards of conduct.  The Company  believes that each of its facilities has the
necessary  permits and approvals to operate the respective  businesses,  and the
Company intends to obtain such permits and approvals for its new facilities. The
Company is also  subject to laws  governing  its  relationship  with  employees,
including minimum wage  requirements,  overtime,  working  conditions,  and work
permit  requirements.  An increase in the minimum  wage rate,  employee  benefit
costs,  or other costs  associated  with employees  could  adversely  affect the
Company.  Both at the  federal  and state  level,  from time to time,  there are
proposals under consideration to increase the minimum wage.

     Under  the   Americans   with   Disabilities   Act   ("ADA"),   all  public
accommodations  are required to meet  certain  federal  requirements  related to
access and use by  disabled  persons.  Although  the Company  has  attempted  to
satisfy ADA  requirements  in the design of its  facilities,  if a material  ADA
claim were successfully  asserted against the Company, the claim could result in
a judicial order requiring the Company to take  additional  steps to comply with
some aspect of the ADA. Such additional steps can necessitate the expenditure of
substantial  sums, a fine would be imposed,  or the private  litigants  could be
awarded damages. These and other initiatives can adversely affect the Company as
well as the lodging industry in general.


EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no employees. Instead, the Company
leases  approximately 65 full-time  employees,  including members of management,
pursuant to an agreement  with Team Staff,  Inc.  Under the Company's  agreement
with Team Staff,  the Company selects its employees who are hired by Team Staff,
which provides administrative services and is responsible for the payment of all
employee  wages,   payroll  taxes  and  employee  benefits.   The  Company  also
occasionally  hires  part-time  employees  through  Team Staff.  The Company has
elected to lease employees to minimize its  administrative  expenses and to take
advantage  of economies  of scale  offered by Team Staff in  providing  workers'
compensation  insurance,  employee  benefits and  administrative  services.  The
Company is charged a fee for the employee and administrative  services received.
The fee is based on the hourly  rate of the  employee  and hours  worked  plus a
percentage of gross wages for payroll taxes,  insurance and other benefits.  The
lease was renewed on [June 1,  1999],  and may be  terminated  by the Company on
[June 1,  2000].  The Company  believes  that its  relationship  with its leased
employees is good.

TRADEMARKS

     The Company has registered the service mark "Efficiency Lodge" in the state
of Georgia and with the United States Patent and Trademark  Office for hotel and
motel services.  The registration extends until 2003 and is thereafter renewable
for ten-year periods.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

     The Company  constructed  all but four of the Company's  Efficiency  Lodges
using a standard design, with similar  architectural styles and guest room floor
plans and similar construction materials.  Five Efficiency Lodges were purchased
from other  operators.  Each Efficiency  Lodge includes guest rooms, a manager's
apartment,  an office and a guest  laundry  room.  Each  guest  room  contains a
combination  living room and bedroom,  a bathroom,  a closet,  a  fully-equipped
kitchenette,  and a table and  chairs.  Guest  services,  which are  minimal  in
comparison to motels or hotels,  typically  include limited front desk hours and
limited maid service, and extra charges for amenities, such as televisions.

     Each Efficiency Lodge is an economy extended-stay  facility with room rates
that are  typically  lower than those  charged by most  motels and hotels in its
market. Although daily rates are available, most guests at the Efficiency Lodges
choose to occupy rooms on a weekly  basis,  at rates  which,  as of December 31,
1999,  ranged from $109 to $144 per week for single  occupancy.  The  Efficiency
Lodges are able to charge lower rates (a) because of the  elimination of certain
amenities  found  in  higher-priced  lodging  facilities,  such as  restaurants,
cocktail  lounges,  meeting  rooms,  retail shops,  pools and other large common
areas,  which  the  Company  has found to be  unnecessary  for the  comfort  and
enjoyment  of its  extended-stay  guests,  and (b) because  they use  economical
furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Company provides its extended-stay guests
with  free  access  to  satellite  TV,  convenience  items for sale in the front
office, and an on-premises laundry facility.

     The  following  lodges  secure a note to one  lender,  with an  outstanding

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

     Total  assets  on  December  31,  1999 were  $27,462,761,  an  increase  of
$9,934,469 from the same date in 1998. This increase is primarily due to the net
of  the  following  changes:   property  and  equipment  increased  $10,536,659;
investments  increased $333,844;  cash decreased $684,129;  and notes receivable
decreased $246,898. In March 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of an existing lodge in Louisville, Georgia for $975,000. In August 1999,
the Company acquired 58 primarily  residential  rental properties in the Atlanta
area for $3,132,470. In December 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets of
two  existing  lodges in  Pensacola,  Florida for  $6,450,000.  Surplus cash was
invested in equity securities during the year thereby increasing  investments to
$418,405 at December  31,  1999.  Total  liabilities  on December  31, 1999 were
28,426,377  compared  to  $18,839,721  at  December  31,  1998,  an  increase of
$9,586,656.  Notes payable increased  $9,119,411 at December 31, 1999 due to the
financing of the  Louisville  lodge,  Rental  Properties  and the two  Pensacola
lodges.

     Revenue for the year ending  December 31, 1999 was  $6,848,997  compared to
$5,363,959 for the year ended  December 31, 1998, an increase of $1,485,038,  or
28%. This increase is primarily due to the Columbus  Lodge and Town Center Lodge
having full years of operations in 1999. The Louisville lodge, Rental Properties
and Pensacola lodges generated an additional  $275,645,  $210,026 and $91,941 of
revenue, respectively, for the Company during 1999.

     Operating expenses increased from $3,313,632 in 1998 to $4,138,853 in 1999,
an  increase of  $825,221.  This  increase  can be  attributed  to the fact that
advertising expense increased $27,882,  depreciation expense increased $275,447,
employee lease expense increased  $101,071,  management fees increased  $81,486,
repairs  and  maintenance  expenses  increased  $223,144,   taxes  and  licenses
increased  $136,122,  and  utilities  increased  $92,777  in  1999.  Advertising
expenses increased due to additional expenses incurred by the Columbus Lodge and
the Louisville  Lodge.  Depreciation,  employee lease expense,  management fees,
taxes and licenses,  and utilities  increased due to the full year of operations
of the Columbus Lodge and the Town Center Lodge and due to expenses  incurred by
the new properties acquired in 1999. Repairs and maintenance  expenses increased
for all lodges,  but 27% of the  aggregate  increase  was incurred by the Rental
Properties.

     Management fees are based on a percentage of gross revenue;  therefore, the
revenue  increase  resulted  in a  management  fee  increase.  Interest  expense
increased from $1,387,426 in 1998 to $1,677,972 in 1999, an increase of $290,546
or 21%. This increase is due to the financing of the Louisville  Lodge, the Home
Stay  Lodges,  and the  Rental  Properties,  and due to a full year of  interest
expense on the Columbus Lodge and the Town Center Lodge.

     The Company purchased an existing motel in Louisville, Georgia on March 11,
1999 for a total purchase  price of $975,000.  The Company paid $475,000 in cash
and obtained a $500,000  loan from Georgia  State Bank.  On August 1, 1999,  the
Company  acquired,  from a company owned by a stockholder,  substantially all of
the assets of 58 rental properties for $3,132,470, assumed existing mortgages of
$2,883,000 and applied certain receivables from the stockholder in the amount of
$246,899  against the purchase  price.  The  resulting  credit was to additional


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

paid-in  capital  for  $2,571.   On  December  1,  1999,  the  Company  acquired
substantially  all of the assets of 2 existing lodges in Pensacola,  Florida for
$6,450,000.  The Company paid approximately $293,035 in cash, assumed a Note due
2004,  accruing  interest at 8.5%  annually,  in aggregate  principal  amount of
$5,420,000,  and assumed a Promissory  Note due 2004,  accruing  interest at New
York Prime + 1%, in aggregate principal amount of $797,040.83.

     The Company  entered into a note  agreement for $2,750,000 in November 1999
to refinance the debt on the Rental Properties.

     During 1999 the Company  repurchased  734 shares of common  stock from its'
shareholders.  This stock is  currently  held by the Company as treasury  stock.
8,333 shares of treasury stock are pledged to secure a loan.

     Net income before taxes and  extraordinary  item increased from $680,093 in
1998 to $992,919 in 1999,  an increase of  $312,826.  Net income was $231,812 in
1998 compared to $617,899 in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company historically has funded its operations primarily with cash flow
from  operations.  For the year ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Company  had a
decrease in cash of $681,129 compared to an increase in cash of $796,071 for the
year ended  December  31,  1998.  The Company had cash  balances of $237,091 and
$921,220 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Idle cash of $333,844 was
invested in equity securities in 1999.

     The Company  anticipates  building or  acquiring  additional  Lodges in the
future and may seek to do so by incurring debt. The Company is currently  having
a lodge  constructed in Austell,  Georgia,  which it plans to open in the second
quarter of 2000.

     The  Company  anticipates  that  the  cash  flow  from  operations  will be
sufficient  to meet its current and future  working  capital  needs.  Management
intends for financing to be utilized only for the acquisition or construction of
new Lodges and not for working  capital.  Management's  anticipation  of meeting
working  capital  needs  through  current   operations  is  based  on  the  past
performance of the Lodges,  which have not historically  required  borrowings to
finance working capital needs. However,  there can be no assurance in the future
that any new or existing facility will be able to fully fund its working capital
needs through operations.

     There are no other  commitments  for financing.  The Company may,  however,
seek to increase its debt, issue equity securities or negotiate additional debt.
Any such commitment  would be subject to such terms as approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.

     Two  risk  factors  which  may  affect  costs  related  to  operations  and
development,  and thus affect  liquidity,  are  increases in interest  rates and
inflation.  Management  of the Company  recognizes  these factors and intends to
manage to reduce these risks. However, there can be no assurance that present or
future performances will be in accordance with management's expectations.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Efficiency Lodge, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Efficiency Lodge,
Inc. (a Georgia  Corporation)  and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of Efficiency Lodge,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the  consolidated  results of
their operations and their  consolidated cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended  December 31,  1999,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles in the United States.

       ----------------------

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost  including  capitalized  interest
   cost incurred during the period of construction. Depreciation is provided for
   in amounts  sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations
   over  their  estimated  service  lives  using the  straight-line  method  for
   buildings and accelerated methods for furniture and equipment. Facilities are
   evaluated  annually and written down to fair value when  management  believes
   that the undepreciated cost cannot be recovered through future cash flows.

   5.  Loan Fees
       ---------

   Loan  fees  and  other  associated   closing  costs  are  recorded  at  cost.
   Amortization is calculated  using the  straight-line  method over the term of
   the related loan.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

   6.  Investments
       -----------

   Investments  consist primarily of equity securities,  which are accounted for
   as available  for sale  securities  and are stated at fair value.  Unrealized
   gains and losses on these investments,  net of the related income tax effect,
   are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

   7.  Income Taxes
       ------------

   The Company  accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability  method.
   Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
   future tax  consequences  attributable  to differences  between the financial
   statement  carrying  amounts of  existing  assets and  liabilities  and their
   respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
   enacted  tax rates  applied to taxable  income.  The effect on  deferred  tax
   assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized in income in
   the period  that  includes  the  enactment  date.  A valuation  allowance  is
   provided  for  deferred  tax assets  when it is more likely than not that the
   asset will not be realized.

   8.  Cash Equivalents
       ----------------

   For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
   liquid  instruments  purchased  with a maturity of three months or less to be
   cash equivalents.

   9.  Earnings Per Share
       ------------------

   During  1999,  the Company  completed  a 1 for 30 reverse  stock split of its
   common  stock.  Accordingly,  all  references  to  common  stock  within  the
   accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the effect of
   the common stock split.

   Earnings  per share is computed  based upon the  weighted  average  number of
   shares  outstanding  during the period. The weighted average number of shares
   outstanding  during  1999 and 1998  was  18,896  shares  and  34,747  shares,
   respectively.

   There  are  no  outstanding  potentially  dilutive  securities.  Accordingly,
   earnings per common share assuming dilution is the same as basic earnings per
   common share.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

   10.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
        -----------------------------------

   The  Company's  financial  instruments  recorded on the balance sheet include
   cash, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Because of
   their short maturities,  the carrying amount of cash,  investments,  accounts
   receivable  and accounts  payable  approximates  fair market value.  The fair
   value of the Company's  long-term debt  approximates  carrying value based on
   quoted market prices of similar issues or on the current rates offered to the
   Company for debt of similar terms.

   11.  Use of Estimates
        ----------------

   In preparing the Company's  financial  statements,  management is required to
   make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities,  the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
   of the  financial  statements,  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and
   expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
   estimates.

                                                   ===========     ===========


   This expense differs from the expense based on the Federal statutory rate due
   primarily to state income taxes. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's
   deferred tax liability is due to the difference  between the income tax basis
   of property and equipment and investments  compared to the amount reported in
   the financial statements.

                                   ----------
                      COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF MORTGAGOR
                      -------------------------------------

         1.01   SECURED OBLIGATIONS.  This instrument secures:
                -------------------

         (a) The payment and  performance of the  Mortgagor's  indebtedness  and
obligations tinder the Note, including all extensions, renewals,  consolidations
and modifications of the Note.

         (b) The payment and  performance of the Mortgagor's  obligations  under
this Mortgage.

         (c) The payment of all sums  advanced  or paid out by the Lender  under
any provision of this Mortgage or to protect the security of this Mortgage.

         (d) The payment of the  principal  and  interest on all other or future
loans or advances made by the Lender,  at Lender's option,  to the Mortgagor (or
any  successor  in interest to the  Mortgagor as the owner of all or any part of
tile  Mortgaged  Property),  when the  promissory  note  evidencing  the loan or
advance  specifically  states  that  it is  secured  by  the  Mortgage  ("Future


                                       2

<PAGE>

Advances"),  including all extensions,  renewals and modifications of any Future
Advances,  provided that such Future  Advances are made within twenty (20) years
from the date of this  Mortgage or within  such lesser  period of time as may be
hereafter provided by law as a prerequisite for the sufficiency of actual notice
or record  notice of such  optional  Future  Advances  as against  the rights of
creditors or subsequent purchasers for a valuable consideration,  although there
may be no  advance  made at the  time of the  execution  of  this  Mortgage  and
although there may be no indebtedness outstanding at the time any Future Advance
is made. It is intended that the lien of this Mortgage  shall be valid as to all
such  indebtedness  and Future Advances from the time this Mortgage is filed for
record.  The total amount of  indebtedness  that may be secured by this Mortgage
may decrease or increase from time to time,  provided,  however,  that the total
unpaid balance secured at any time shall not exceed a maximum  principal  amount
of $7,500,000.00 plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made by Lender for
the  payment  of taxes,  levies or  insurance  on the  property  covered by this
Mortgage,  together with interest thereon,  plus reasonable  attorney's fees and
court costs incurred in the  collection of any or all of said sums of money.  To
the extent that this  Mortgage  may secure more than one note,  a default in the
payment  of one note  shall  constitute  a default  in the  payment of all other
notes.  However,  this provision as to Future Advances shall not be construed to
obligate Lender to make any additional advances or loans.

         (e) The payment and  performance of the Mortgagor's  obligations  under
the Loan  Agreement and other Loan  Documents (as defined in the Note) and under
all other  present and future  agreements  executed by the Mortgagor in favor of
the Lender and relating to the Loan.

         1.02 WARRANTY OF TITLE.  Mortgagor warrants that it is presently seized
              -----------------
and  possessed  of an  unencumbered,  indefeasible  fee  simple  estate  in  the
Property,  free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and subject only
to  the  exceptions,   if  any,  listed  in  Exhibit  "B"  attached  hereto  and
incorporated herein by reference;  that it has good right, full power and lawful
authority to sell, convey,  hypothecate and encumber the Mortgaged Property; and
that it owns the personal  property and fixtures  subject to this  Mortgage free
and  clear  of  all  liens,  encumbrances,  claims  charges,  conditional  sales
contracts,  chattel mortgages,  security  agreements,  financing  statements and
anything of a similar nature. Further, Mortgagor warrants that it shall preserve
such title to the Mortgaged  Property and shall  forever  warrant and defend the
same unto  Lender  and its  successors  and  assigns  against  the claims of all
persons and parties whomsoever.

         1.03  ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.
               --------------------

         (a)  All of the existing and future rents,  royalties, income, profits,
issues, revenues and accounts of or related to the Mortgaged Property that arise
from its use or occupancy are hereby  absolutely  and presently  assigned to the
Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Mortgage,  Lender
may in its  discretion at any time without  notice to the Mortgagor  collect the
rents, royalties, income, profits, issues, revenues and accounts itself or by an
agent  or  receiver.  Mortgagor  hereby  authorizes  and  directs  all  lessees,
sublessees  and occupants of the  Mortgaged  Property or any part thereof to pay
any and all amounts due Mortgagor pursuant to their respective leases, subleases
and  occupancy  agreements  to Lender or such nominee as Lender may designate in
writing  upon  receipt of written  notice  from  Lender that an Event of Default
under this  Mortgage  or the other Loan  Documents  has  occurred,  and all such
lessees,  sublessees  and occupants are expressly  relieved of any and all duty,
liability or  obligation  to  Mortgagor  in respect of all payments so made.  No
action  taken by the Lender to collect  any rents,  royalties,  income,  profits
issues, revenues and accounts shall make the Lender a  "mortgagee-in-possession"
of the Mortgaged Property. Possession by a court-appointed receiver shall not be

                                       3

<PAGE>

considered  possession by the Lender.  All rents,  royalties,  income,  profits,
issues,  revenues  and accounts  collected by the Lender or a receiver  shall be
applied  to  pay  all  expenses  of  collection  (including  without  limitation
attorneys'  fees),  all  costs of  operation  and  management  of the  Mortgaged
Property,  and all  indebtedness  and  obligations  secured by this  Mortgage in
whatever order the Lender directs in its absolute  discretion and without regard
to the adequacy of its security.

         (b)  Mortgagor  shall not  execute  any lease,  sublease  or  occupancy
agreement  affecting any of the Mortgaged  Property  except with Lender's  prior
written consent.


                                       3

<PAGE>


         (c) Without the prior  written  consent of the  Lender,  the  Mortgagor
shall not accept  prepayments  of rent more than  thirty (30) days in advance of
their due date under any leases, subleases or occupancy agreements affecting any
of the Mortgaged Property,  nor modify,  amend, extend or renew any such leases,
subleases  or occupancy  agreements,  nor in any manner  impair the  Mortgagor's
interest in the rents, royalties, income, profits, issues, revenues and accounts
of the  Mortgaged  Property.  The  Mortgagor  shall perform all covenants of the
lessor  under any such  leases,  subleases  or  occupancy  agreements.  Upon the
Lender's  request,  the  Mortgagor  shall  execute  and  deliver  to Lender  for
recordation  an Assignment of Rents and Leases in form and substance  acceptable
to Lender.  Such  Assignment  of Rents and Leases,  if and when  recorded in the
public records of the county wherein the Property is situated,  shall control as
to any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of said assignment and the
provisions of this Section.

         (d) If  required  by the  Lender,  any  lease,  sublease  or  occupancy
agreement  affecting  any of the Mortgaged  Property  must provide,  in a manner
approved  by the  Lender,  that the tenant or occupant  shall  recognize  as its
lessor  any  person  succeeding  to the  interest  of  the  Mortgagor  upon  any
foreclosure of this Mortgage.

         (e) Nothing  herein  shall render  Lender  liable under any existing or
future lease,  sublease or occupancy agreement,  regardless of the collection of
rents thereunder, for any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor under such
lease, sublease or occupancy agreement.

         (f)  The  provisions  of this  Section  1.03  shall  be  construed  and
interpreted consistently with the provisions of any separate Assignment of Rents
and Leases made by Mortgagor to Lender with respect to the  Mortgaged  Property,
to the end that all provisions of this Section 1.03 and any separate  Assignment
shall be given full force and effect. In the event of an irreconcilable conflict
between any  provision  of this  Section  1.03 and any  provision  of a separate
Assignment,  the provision of the separate  Assignment shall control if and when
such separate  Assignment  has been recorded in the public records of the county
wherein the Property is situated.

         1.04  TRANSFER OF TITLE.  It is specifically agreed and understood that
               -----------------
Mortgagor  shall  not sell,  contract  to sell,  grant an  option  to  purchase,
transfer or otherwise convey all or any part of the Mortgaged  Property,  or any
interest therein, nor transfer the benefit of the Loan evidenced by the Note and
secured by the Mortgage or the interest rate specified in the Note to any person
acquiring  title from the  Mortgagor.  Unless  Lender gives its prior consent in
writing,   the  violation  or  attempted  violation  of  any  of  the  foregoing
prohibitions  or  restrictions  shall be an Event of Default under this Mortgage
and the Note  secured  hereby.  No cure period will apply to this  default.  Any
consent given by Lender hereunder shall pertain only to the proposed transfer of
title for which the  consent  was  requested  and shall not  obligate  Lender to
approve any further or future transfers.

         1.05  CORPORATE STATUS, FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT COVENANTS.
               ----------------------------------------------------

         (a)  Mortgagor  shall  keep in effect  its  existence  and  rights as a
limited  partnership under the laws of the State of Florida and shall not cause,
suffer  or permit  any  changes  in the  management,  ownership  or  control  of
Mortgagor (whether by sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of the stock of Mortgagor or by merger or  consolidation  by or with
Mortgagor) or any other  circumstance  or  occurrence  the effect of which is to
transfer all or any part of the management, ownership or control of Mortgagor or
its stockholders from the persons now holding the same to others.

         (b) For all periods during which (i) title to the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof shall be held by a corporation,  limited  liability  company or
association  subject to corporate  taxes or taxes similar to corporate  taxes or
(ii) a general partner of Mortgagor is a corporation,  limited liability company
or association  subject to corporate taxes or taxes similar to corporate  taxes,
such  corporation,  limited  liability company or association shall file returns
for such taxes with the proper authorities,  bureaus or departments and it shall
pay, when due and payable and before interest or penalties are due thereon,  all
taxes owing by it to the United  States,  to the state of its  incorporation  or
creation and to the State of Florida and any political  subdivision thereof, and
shall  produce to Lender  receipts  showing  payment of any and all such  taxes,
charges or assessments prior to the last dates upon which such taxes, charges or
assessments are payable without interest or penalty charges, and within ten (10)

United States, such state of incorporation or creation, the State of Florida and
any  political   subdivision  thereof.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   such
corporation, limited liability company or association may in good faith contest,
by proper legal  proceedings,  the validity or amount of any such tax or charge,
provided  (1)  an  Event  of  Default  hereunder  has  not  occurred;  (2)  such

collection  and is  maintained  and  prosecuted  with  diligence;  and (4)  such
corporation,  limited  liability company or association shall pay such contested
tax or charge and all costs and  penalties,  if any, and shall deliver to Lender
evidence  acceptable  to Lender of such  payment  promptly  if such  contest  is
terminated or  discontinued  adversely to such  corporation,  limited  liability
company or  association,  and in any event at least  thirty (30) days before the
date any of the Mortgaged Property may be sold or otherwise  transferred because
of non-payment of the tax or charge.

         (c) Mortgagor  shall furnish,  or cause to be furnished,  to Lender (1)
annually  within  ninety  (90) days  following  the close of each fiscal year of
Mortgagor  annual financial  statements for the Mortgagor,  including income and
expense  statements  and  balance  sheets as to assets and  liabilities,  all in
reasonable  detail,  all data being  prepared  according to  generally  accepted

financial  condition of  Mortgagor,  and/or any guarantor of the Note and/or the
operation of the Mortgaged  Property as Lender may reasonably  request from time
to time.

         (d) Mortgagor shall not merge or consolidate  with any other entity nor
transfer  all or  substantially  all of its or their  assets  without  the prior
written consent of Lender.

         (e) Mortgagor  shall not guarantee or otherwise in any way become or be
responsible  for the  obligations  of any other  person or  entity,  whether  by
agreement  to  purchase  the  indebtedness  of any other  person or entity or by

purchase  of  goods,  supplies  or  services,  (or  by way  of  stock  purchase,
contribution,  advance  or loan) for the  purpose of paying or  discharging  the
indebtedness  of any other  person  or  entity,  or  otherwise,  except  for the
endorsement  of negotiable  instruments  in the ordinary  course of business for
collection.

         1.06  USE AND OPERATION.  Mortgagor  warrants and  represents to Lender
               -----------------
that the proposed use of the  Mortgaged  Property for an extended  stay project,
together with  associated  facilities and amenities,  complies with all existing
development orders,  development of regional impact orders,  zoning, future land
use  maps,   comprehensive  plans,  land  use  regulations,   growth  management
regulations  and  concurrency  regulations  of  all  federal,  state  and  local
governmental  bodies  and  agencies  having  jurisdiction  with  respect  to the
Mortgaged  Property which are applicable to the Mortgaged  Property and with all
other federal,  state and local laws, rules and regulations which are applicable


                                       5

<PAGE>

to the Mortgaged Property or the use thereof.  Without the prior written consent
of  Lender,  Mortgagor  shall not seek,  make or  consent  to any  change in any
existing  development  order or development  of regional  impact order or in the
zoning,  comprehensive  plan  classification,  future land use classification or
conditions  of use of the Mortgaged  Property  which would impair the ability of
Mortgagor  to use and  operate  the  Property  for an  extended  stay  facility.
Mortgagor  shall  comply  with  all  existing  and  future  requirements  of all
governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property.

          1.07  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.   This  Mortgage   constitutes  a  Security
                -------------------
 Agreement  under the  Florida  Uniform  Commercial  Code and creates a security
 interest  in all that  property  (and the  proceeds  thereof)  included  in the
 Mortgaged  Property  which  might  otherwise  be  deemed  "personal  property".
 Mortgagor shall execute,  deliver,  file and refile, any financing  statements,
 continuation  statements and other security  agreements Lender may require from
 time  to time to  confirm  the  lien of  this  Mortgage  with  respect  to such
 property. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints
 Lender  attorney-in-fact  for  Mortgagor  to  execute,  deliver  and file  such
 instruments  for and on behalf of Mortgagor,  provided that an Event of Default
 exists hereunder.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence only, an affidavit by
 an officer of Lender shall be sufficient  evidence of the existence of an Event
 of  Default by  Mortgagor.  Notwithstanding  any  release of any or all of that
 property  included in the Mortgaged  Property which is deemed "real  property",
 any proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or its  satisfaction of record,  the
 terms hereof shall survive as a security agreement with respect to the security
 interests  created  hereby  and  referred  to  above  until  the  repayment  or
 satisfaction  in full of the  obligations  of Mortgagor as are now or hereafter
 evidenced by the Note.

         1.08  HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

         (2) That the Mortgaged  Property is now and at all times hereafter will
continue  to  be  in  full  compliance   with  all  federal,   state  and  local

Lender;

         (3) That (i) as of the date  hereof  there  are no  hazardous  or toxic

or local governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged
Property,  or which are otherwise  known to pose a hazard to health or safety of
occupants  of the  Mortgaged  Property,  located  on, in or under the  Mortgaged
Property or used in connection  therewith or (ii) Mortgagor has fully  disclosed
to Lender in writing the  existence,  extent and nature of any such hazardous or
toxic  material  waste  or  other  environmentally  regulated  substance,  which
Mortgagor is legally  authorized  and  empowered to maintain on, in or under the
Mortgaged  Property or use in connection  therewith,  and Mortgagor has obtained
and will  maintain all  licenses,  permits and  approvals  required with respect
thereto,  and is in  full  compliance  with  all of the  terms,  conditions  and
requirements of such licenses, permits and approvals;

         (4) That  Mortgagor  shall notify Lender of any change in the nature or
extent of any hazardous or toxic materials,  substances or wastes maintained on,
in or under the  Mortgaged  Property or used in connection  therewith,  and will
transmit to Lender copies of any  citations,  orders,  notices or other material

affecting the Mortgaged Property;

         (5) That  Mortgagor is not aware of, nor has the  Mortgagor  nor any of
its subsidiary or affiliated  entities received notice of, any past,  present or

compliance with  Environmental  Laws or any ordinance,  regulation,  code, plan,
order, decree,  judgment,  injunction,  notice or demand letter issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder,  or which may give rise to any common law or
legal liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit,
proceeding,  hearing,  study  or  investigation,  based  on or  related  to  the
manufacture,   processing,  distribution,  use,  treatment,  storage,  disposal,
transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
into the environment, of any Hazardous Substance; and

         (6) That there is no civil,  criminal or administrative  action,  suit,
demand,  claim,   hearing,   notice  or  demand  letter,  notice  of  violation,
investigation,  or  proceeding  pending or threatened  against  Mortgagor or the
Mortgaged  Property,  relating  in  any  way to any  Environmental  Laws  or any
regulation,  code, plan, order, decree, judgment,  injunction,  notice or demand
letter issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

         (b) Mortgagor  hereby agrees to indemnify,  reimburse,  defend and hold
harmless Lender,  its officers,  directors,  employees,  successors and assigns,
from and against all  demands,  claims,  civil or criminal  actions or causes of
action,  liens,  assessments,  civil or  criminal  penalties  or fines,  losses,
damages, liabilities, obligations, costs, disbursements, expenses or fees of any
kind or of any nature (including, without limitation, cleanup costs, attorneys',
consultants' or experts' fees and disbursements and costs of litigation at trial
and  appellate  levels)  which may at any time be imposed  upon,  incurred by or
asserted or awarded against, Lender directly or indirectly,  resulting from: (i)
any acts or  activities  of  Mortgagor  or any other  person at, on or about the
Mortgaged Property which contaminate air, soils,  surface waters or groundwaters
over,  on or under  the  Mortgaged  Property;  (ii)  arising  from or out of any
Hazardous Substance on, in or under the Mortgaged Property; (iii) pursuant to or
in  connection  with the  application  of any  Environmental  Law to the acts or
omissions of Mortgagor or any other person and any environmental  damage alleged
to have been  caused,  in whole or in part,  by the  transportation,  treatment,
storage,  or disposal of any  Hazardous  Substance;  or (iv)  arising from or in
relation to the  presence,  whether  past,  present or future,  of any Hazardous
Substances on the Mortgaged Property.

         (c) Without  limiting the  foregoing,  this  indemnification  provision
specifically  protects  the Lender  against any claim or action from  activities
described in (i), (ii),  (iii) or (iv) of subsection (b) above based in whole or
in part upon any environmental  statute,  rule, regulation or policy,  including
but not  limited  to  Chapters  403  and  376,  Florida  Statutes,  the  Florida
Administrative Code, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,  Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980,  ("CERCLA") 42 USC Section 9601, et seq., as amended, the
Resource  Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 USC Section 6901, et seq., and other
laws, whether now in existence or enacted in the future.

         (d) Mortgagor's  indemnification  obligation  hereunder shall be one of
strict  liability  and  shall be  enforceable  without  regard  to any  fault or
knowledge  of Lender with  respect to any act or omission or  condition or event
which  is  the  basis  of  the  claim  under  such  indemnification  obligation.
Mortgagor's  obligation under this Section shall not be limited to any extent by
the term of the Note or other  obligations  secured hereby,  and such obligation
shall  continue,  survive  and remain in full  force and effect  notwithstanding
payment  in full or other  satisfaction  or  release  of said  Note  (and  other
obligations  secured hereby) and this Mortgage,  or any  foreclosure  under this
Mortgage,  or any delivery of a deed in lieu of  foreclosure.  The provisions of
this  Section  shall be deemed to survive and  continue in full force and effect
after  any  foreclosure  or  other  proceeding  by  which  the  Lender,  and its
successors and assigns, succeed to ownership of the Mortgaged Property.

         (e) As used here in,  "Environmental  Law" means any federal,  state or
local  statutory  or common law  relating  to  pollution  or  protection  of the
environment,  including  without  limitation,  any  common  law of  nuisance  or
trespass, and any law or regulation relating to emissions,  discharges, releases
or threatened releases of Hazardous  Substances into the environment  (including
without  limitation,  ambient air, surface water,  groundwater,  land surface or


                                       7

<PAGE>

subsurface  strata)  or  otherwise  relating  to  the  manufacture,  processing,
distribution,  use,  treatment,  storage,  disposal,  transport  or  handling of
Hazardous Substances.

         (f) As used  herein,  "Hazardous  Substance"  means  any  substance  or
material  identified in Section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 USC Section  9601(14),  as
the same may be amended from time to time,  or (ii)  determined  to be toxic,  a
pollutant or contaminant, under federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance,
rule or regulation or judicial or administrative order or decision,  as same may
be  amended  from time to time,  including  but not  limited  to  petroleum  and
petroleum products as defined in Sec. 376.301(10), Florida Statutes, as same may
be amended from time to time.

         (g) In the event that  Lender has  reasonable  cause to believe  that a
violation of an Environmental Law exists with respect to the Mortgaged  Property
or in the event that a  proceeding  or  investigation  relating  to the  alleged
violation of an Environmental Law is then pending before any court, governmental
body or agency,  Lender shall have the right to require Mortgagor,  from time to
time, to perform (at Mortgagor's  expense) an environmental audit and, if deemed
necessary by Lender,  an environmental  risk  assessment,  each of which must be
satisfactory  to  Lender  in its sole  discretion,  of the  Mortgaged  Property,
hazardous waste management  practices and/or hazardous waste disposal sites used
by  Mortgagor.  Such audit and/or risk  assessment  must be by an  environmental
consultant  satisfactory  to  Lender.  Should  Mortgagor  fail to  perform  such
environmental  audit or risk assessment  within 30 days of the Lender's  written
request,  Lender  shall  have the  right  but not the  obligation  to  retain an
environmental consultant to perform such environmental audit or risk assessment.
All costs and  expenses  incurred by Lender in the exercise of such rights shall
bear  interest at the default rate set forth in the Note and shall be secured by
this  Mortgage  and shall be  payable  by  Mortgagor  upon  demand or charged to
Mortgagor's loan balance at the discretion of the Lender.

         (h)  Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein,  Any breach of any
warranty,  representation or agreement  contained in this Section which Borrower
has not cured  pursuant to  Paragraph  7.1.3 of the Loan  Agreement  shall be an
Event of Default under this  Mortgage and shall  entitle  Lender to exercise any
and all remedies provided in this Mortgage, or otherwise permitted by law.

         1.09  NO SECONDARY FINANCING.  Without  the  prior  written  consent of
               ----------------------
Lender,  Mortgagor  shall not create or cause or permit to exist any lien on, or
security interest in, the Mortgaged Property, including any furniture, fixtures,
appliances,  equipment  and other items of personal  property  now or  hereafter
owned by  Mortgagor  which are  intended to be or become  part of the  Mortgaged
Property.  Mortgagor shall promptly discharge,  at Mortgagor's cost and expense,
all liens,  encumbrances  and charges upon the Mortgaged  Property,  or any part
thereof or  interest  therein,  except  such  liens,  encumbrances  and  charges
specifically  approved by Lender in writing. In any event,  Mortgagor shall have
no right to permit the holder of any subordinate  mortgage or other  subordinate
lien,  whether or not  consented to by Lender,  to terminate any lease of all or
any portion of the Mortgaged  Property  whether or not such lease is subordinate
(whether by law or the terms of such lease or a separate  agreement) to the lien
of this Mortgage  without first  obtaining the prior written  consent of Lender.
The holder of any subordinate  mortgage or other  subordinate lien shall have no
such right,  whether by  foreclosure  of its mortgage or lien or  otherwise,  to
terminate any such lease, whether or not permitted to do so by Mortgagor or as a
matter  of law and any  such  attempt  to  terminate  any  such  lease  shall be
ineffective and void.

         2.01  Default.  In addition to all other "Events of Default"  specified
               -------
elsewhere  in this  Mortgage  or the other Loan  Documents,  an Event of Default
under this Mortgage shall exist if:

         (a) Mortgagor fails to make any monetary payment required to be made by
Mortgagor  to Lender by the Note or other  Loan  Documents,  as and when due and
such failure shall  continue for a period of five (5) days after written  notice
by Lender to Mortgagor; or

<PAGE>
         (b)  Mortgagor  fails to perform any other  covenant  contained in this
Mortgage and fails to commence the cure of such failure within fifteen (15) days
after  Lender  gives  Mortgagor  written  notice of such  failure  (unless  such
default,  if  curable,  requires  work  to be  performed,  acts to be  done,  or
conditions  to be remedied  that by their nature  cannot be  performed,  done or
remedied,  as the case may be, within such fifteen  (15)-day period and Borrower
shall  diligently and  continuously  process the same to  completion,  or unless
Lender's  security  reasonably will be materially  impaired if Borrower does not
perform in less than fifteen (15) days, in which event  Borrower shall have only
such  period  following  demand  in which to  perform  as Lender  may  specify),
provided that Mortgagor  shall have no grace period or right to cure any default
under Sections 1.04, 1.05(a), 1.06 or 1.09; or

         (c) Any other Event of Default  occurs under any of the Loan  Documents
or any other  agreement which  evidences,  guarantees or secures any part of the
indebtedness  or obligations  evidenced by the Note or secured by this Mortgage;
or

         (d) A  default  occurs  under  any  other  mortgage  now  or  hereafter
encumbering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; or

         (e) Any representation or disclosure made to the Lender by or on behalf
of Mortgagor or by any guarantor of any  indebtedness  or obligation  secured by
this  Mortgage  proves to be  materially  false or  misleading on the date as of
which made,  whether or not that  representation  or disclosure  appears in this
Mortgage; or

         (f) Mortgagor,  or any guarantor of the Note files a voluntary petition
in  bankruptcy  or  any  petition  or  answer  seeking  or  acquiescing  in  any
reorganization,    rehabilitation,   arrangement,   composition,   readjustment,
liquidation,  dissolution  or other relief under any present or future  federal,
state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy,  insolvency or
other  relief for debtors;  or an order for relief is entered in an  involuntary
bankruptcy  case filed against the  Mortgagor or guarantor;  or the Mortgagor or
guarantor  seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee,
custodian,  receiver  or  liquidator  of  itself  or of all or any  part  of the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or all or any of the rents, revenues,
issues,  earnings,  profits or income  thereof;  or Mortgagor or guarantor shall

future  federal,   state  or  other  statute,  law  or  regulation  relating  to
bankruptcy,  insolvency or other relief for debtors,  or the  appointment of any
trustee,  custodian,  receiver or liquidator of the Mortgagor or guarantor or of
all or any part of the Mortgaged  Property or any interest  therein or of any or
all of the rents,  revenues,  issues,  earnings,  profits or income thereof, and
such petition, case or appointment shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days
after such filing or appointment; or

         (h) Any other  event  occurs  which,  under the Note or under any other
agreement of the Mortgagor relating to the Loan, constitutes an Event of Default
thereunder  by the  Mortgagor  or gives the Lender the right to  accelerate  the
maturity of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or related
loan documents or secured by this Mortgage; or

         (i) A default occurs in payment of any  indebtedness  of Mortgagor,  or
any guarantor of any portion of the  indebtedness  secured by the  Mortgage,  or

this  Mortgage,  then the  whole of the  indebtedness  evidenced  by the Note or
secured  hereby  shall,  without  notice,   demand  or  legal  process,   become
immediately due and payable at the option of the Lender.

         2.03  GENERAL REMEDIES.  Upon  the occurrence  of  an Event  of Default
               ----------------
under  this  Mortgage, the  Lender may,  at  its continuing option,  and without
notice to or demand upon the Mortgagor:

         (a) Enter  onto the  Mortgaged  Property,  in person or by agents or by
court-appointed  receiver, and take possession thereof and exclude the Mortgagor
and the Mortgagor's  agents and employees wholly  therefrom,  and upon demand of
Lender,  Mortgagor shall forthwith  surrender to Lender actual possession of the
Mortgaged Property,  and upon every such entering and taking of possession,  the
Lender may hold, store, use, operate, manage, control and maintain the Mortgaged
Property and conduct the business  thereon and,  from time to time,  (i) make or

additions,  betterments  and  improvements  thereto and thereon and  purchase or

with  respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers  herein  granted to
Lender,  all as  Lender  may  from  time to  time  determine  to be to its  best
interest.  Further,  Lender may collect  and  receive all of the income,  rents,
profits,  issues, revenues and accounts of or related to the Mortgaged Property,
including  those past due as well as those accruing  thereafter,  and Lender may
apply any monies and  proceeds  received by Lender in such order and priority as
Lender in its sole discretion may determine to all expenses of taking,  holding,
managing and operating the Mortgaged  Property  (including  compensation for the
services of all persons  employed  for such  purposes),  to the cost of all such
maintenance,   repairs,   renewals,   replacements,    additions,   betterments,
improvements, purchases and acquisitions, to the cost of such insurance, to such
taxes,  assessments  and other  charges as Lender may determine to pay, to other
proper  charges  upon  the  Mortgaged  Property  or  any  part  thereof,  to the
reasonable  compensation and expenses of attorneys and agents of the Lender,  to
accrued  interest,  to deposits for taxes,  insurance and similar items required
hereunder,  and to  overdue  installments  of  principal.  For the  purposes  of
carrying out the provisions of this Subsection (a), Mortgagor hereby irrevocably

more  public  or  private  sales  as  permitted  by  applicable  law.  Any  such
disposition  may be  conducted  by an employee  or agent of Lender.  Any person,

with insurers acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, and all such policies
shall be in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing,  all insurance coverage required hereunder shall be
provided by insurance  companies  acceptable to the Lender that are rated "A" or
better by Best  Insurance  Guide and Key Ratings and with a claim payment rating
by Standard & Poor's  Corporations  of "AA" or better.  The aggregate  amount of

in its sole discretion. Reinsurance endorsements shall stipulate that the Lender
will  receive  ten (10)  days'  advance  written  notice  of any  change  and/or
cancellation  of the  reinsurance  agreement.  All insurance  companies  must be
licensed  and  qualified  to do  business  in the State in which  the  Mortgaged
Property is located. Such policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement, in
form and substance  acceptable to Lender,  showing loss payable to Lender.  Such
endorsement,  or an independent  instrument  furnished to Lender,  shall provide
that the insurance  companies  shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance  shall be altered
or canceled  and that no act or default of  Mortgagor  or any other person shall
affect the right of Lender to recover under such policy or policies of insurance
in case of loss or damage.  Mortgagor  hereby  directs all  insurers  under such
policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Lender.
Without  limiting the foregoing,  Mortgagor shall cooperate fully with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any insurance or other proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable to Lender in connection with the transactions  contemplated by
this Agreement.

shall be promptly  delivered  to the Lender.  The  Mortgagor  shall not submit a
certificate  of  insurance  in lieu of the  original  policy or  certified  copy
thereof.

         (3) Each insurance  policy shall provide that,  insofar as the Lender's
interests under the policy are concerned,  the coverage  afforded  thereby shall
not lapse or be  terminated,  cancelled  or modified by reason of (i) any act or
negligence, or breach of any condition, declaration or warranty contained in any
such policy, by the Mortgagor or any third party, (ii) the occupation, operation
or use of  the  Mortgaged  Property  for  purposes  more  hazardous  than  those
permitted by the terms of such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other proceeding
or notice of sale relating to the Mortgaged Property,  or (iv) any change in the
title to or ownership of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

         (4) Each insurance policy shall (i) provide primary  insurance  without
right of  contribution  from any other  insurance  carried by the  Lender,  (ii)
contain an express waiver by the insurer of any right of subrogation,  setoff or
counterclaim  against any insured party  thereunder,  (iii) permit the Lender to
pay  premiums at the  Lender's  discretion,  and (iv)  provide that no claims in
excess of $5,000.00  thereunder  shall be adjusted or settled  without the prior
written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld
or delayed by the Lender.

         (5)   Each  insurance   policy   shall  contain  the following  special
               clauses:

         (iv)  Differences in Conditions Clause:
               --------------------------------

               The form  and  substance  of this clause shall be satisfactory to
               Lender in its sole discretion.

         (c)   Insurance Claims.  The  Lender  is  hereby  authorized  and
               ----------------
empowered,  at its option,  to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance
policies on the Mortgaged  Property and to collect and receive the proceeds from
any such policy or policies.  After  deducting from said insurance  proceeds any
expenses  incurred by it in the  collection or handling of said fund, the Lender
may  apply  the  net  proceeds,  at its  option,  either  toward  restoring  the
improvements  on the  Mortgaged  Property  or as a credit on any  portion of the
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage as Lender may select, whether then matured
or to mature in the  future,  or at the option of the Lender  such sums,  either
wholly or in part,  may be paid over to the  Mortgagor to be used to repair such
improvements  or to  build  new  improvements  in their  place or for any  other
purpose or object  satisfactory to the Lender without  affecting the lien of the
Mortgage  for the full amount  secured  hereby  before such  payment took place.
Lender shall not be held  responsible  for any failure to collect any  insurance
proceeds  due  under  the terms of any  policy  regardless  of the cause of such
failure.

         3.05 CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor shall give Lender immediate written notice
              ------------
of any actual or threatened condemnation proceeding affecting all or any part of
the  Mortgaged  Property  or any  interest  therein.  If all or any  part of the
Mortgaged  Property shall be damaged or taken through  condemnation  (which term
when  used  in  this  Mortgage  shall  include  any  damage  or  taking  by  any
governmental authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either
temporarily or permanently,  the entire indebtedness secured hereby shall at the
option of the Lender become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that
in the event of a partial  taking of the  Mortgaged  Property,  Lender  shall be
entitled to accelerate the entire indebtedness  secured hereby only if Lender in
good faith deems itself  insecure by reason of such partial  taking.  The Lender
shall be  entitled  to all  compensation,  awards and other  payments  or relief
thereof and is hereby  authorized,  at its option,  to  commence,  appear in and
prosecute,  in its  own or the  Mortgagor's  name,  any  action  or  proceedings
relating to any condemnation.  All such compensation,  awards, damages,  claims,
rights of action and proceeds and the right  thereto are hereby  assigned by the
Mortgagor to the Lender,  which,  after  deducting  therefrom  all its expenses,
including  attorney's  fees,  may  release  any monies so received by it without
affecting  the lien of this Mortgage or may apply the same in such manner as the
Lender shall  determine to the  reduction  of the sums secured  hereby,  and any
balance  of such  monies  then  remaining  shall be paid to the  Mortgagor.  The


                                       15

require.

neat,  orderly and good  condition and repair,  shall maintain all equipment and
personal property comprising the Mortgaged Property in good working order, shall
not commit or suffer any waste,  and shall not do or suffer to be done  anything
which might increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Mortgaged  Property
or any part thereof or invalidate any insurance  carried  thereon.  In the event
Mortgagor  defaults under its obligations  under this Section  3.06(a),  then in
addition to all other  remedies  available to Lender by reason of such  default,
Lender shall be entitled to establish a maintenance  reserve  escrow account and
to require  Mortgagor to pay to Lender on the first day of each month,  together
with and in addition to the regular  installment  of interest or  principal  and
interest  under  the  Note,  until  the Note is fully  paid,  an  amount  deemed
sufficient by Lender in the  reasonable  exercise of its judgment and discretion
to provide for the present and future maintenance of the Mortgaged Property.

         (b) Except as otherwise  provided herein or in the Loan  Agreement,  no
buildings,   fixtures,   personal  property  or  other   improvements  shall  be
constructed,  removed,  demolished  or  materially  altered  on any  part of the

Mortgagor may sell or otherwise  dispose of, free from the lien of this Mortgage
and Security Agreement,  furniture,  furnishings,  equipment, tools, appliances,

and

         (e)  Commencement  of any material  litigation  affecting the Mortgaged

         3.08  PERFORMANCE BY LENDER OF DEFAULTS BY MORTGAGOR.  If the Mortgagor
               ----------------------------------------------
shall  default in the payment of any tax,  lien,  assessment or charge levied or
assessed against the Mortgaged  Property;  in the payment of any utility charge,
whether  public or private;  in the  payment of any  insurance  premium;  in the
procurement  of insurance  coverage and the delivery of the  insurance  policies
required  hereunder;  or in the performance or observance of any other covenant,
condition or term of this Mortgage,  then the Lender, at its option, may perform
or observe  the same,  and all  payments  made or costs paid or  incurred by the
Lender in connection  therewith  shall be secured  hereby and shall be,  without
demand, immediately repaid by the Mortgagors to the Lender with interest thereon
at the  after-default  rate set forth in the Note.  The Lender shall be the sole
judge of the legality,  validity and priority of any such tax, lien, assessment,
charge,  claim and premium;  of the necessity  for any such actions;  and of the
amount  necessary  to be paid in  satisfaction  thereof.  The  Lender  is hereby
empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Mortgaged  Property
or any  part  thereof  for the  purpose  of  performing  or  observing  any such
defaulted  covenant,  condition or term,  without thereby becoming liable to the
Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under the Mortgagor.

         3.09 LENDER'S OPTION ON FORECLOSURE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
              ------------------------------
Default,  at the  option of the  Lender,  this  Mortgage  may be  foreclosed  in
accordance with applicable law, in which event reasonable  attorney's fee shall,
among other costs and  expenses,  be allowed and paid out of the proceeds of the
sale.  In the event Lender  exercises  its option to  foreclose  the Mortgage in
equity, Lender may, at its option, foreclose this Mortgage subject to the rights
of any  tenants  of the  Mortgaged  Property  and the  failure  to make any such
tenants parties  defendants to any such foreclosure  proceeding and to foreclose
their rights shall not be, nor be asserted to be by the Mortgagor,  a defense to
any  proceedings  instituted by the Lender to collect the sums secured hereby or
any  deficiency  remaining  unpaid after the  foreclosure  sale of the Mortgaged
Property.

         3.10  WAIVER  OF  EXEMPTION.  Mortgagor  hereby  waives  all  rights of
               ---------------------
exemption pertaining to real or personal property as to any indebtedness secured
by or that may be secured by this Mortgage,  and Mortgagor waives the benefit of
any statute regulating, restricting or prohibiting the obtaining of a deficiency
judgment  by  Lender  against  Mortgagor  or  requiring  that  the  value of the
Mortgaged  Property  be set off  against  any part of the  indebtedness  secured
hereby,  except  as  might  be  provided  under  Florida  law  in the  event  of
foreclosure of this Mortgage.

         3.11     NO WAIVER.
                  ---------

         (a) No delay or  omission of the Lender or of any holder of the Note to
exercise any right,  power or remedy  accruing  upon any Event of Default  shall
exhaust  or impair any such  right,  power or remedy  nor be  construed  to be a
waiver of any such Event of Default or  acquiescence  therein;  and every right,
power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Lender may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lender.

         (b) No waiver  of any Event of  Default  hereunder  shall  extend to or
shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or any other then existing Event of
Default or shall impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon.

         (c) If the Lender (i) grants  forbearance  or an  extension of time for
the payment of any sums secured hereby;  (ii) takes other or additional security
for the payment  thereof,  (iii) waives or does not  exercise any right  granted
herein or in the Note; (iv) releases any part of the Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or  otherwise  changes any of the terms of the Note or this
Mortgage;  (v) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat  thereof,  (vi)
consents to the granting of any easement thereon;  or (vii) makes or consents to
any  agreement  subordinating  the lien of this Mortgage or to any change in the
Note or this  Mortgage,  then  any  such  act or  omission  shall  not  release,
discharge,  modify,  change or affect  the  original  liability  under the Note,
Mortgage or  otherwise  of the  Mortgagor  or any  subsequent  purchaser  of the
Mortgaged  Property  or any part  thereof,  or any maker,  co-signer,  endorser,
surety or guarantor of the Note; nor shall any such act or omission preclude the
Lender from exercising any right,  power or privilege herein granted or intended


                                       17

<PAGE>

to be  granted in the event of any other  Event of  Default  then made or of any
subsequent Event of Default;  nor, except as otherwise  expressly provided in an
instrument  or  instruments  executed  by the  Lender,  shall  the  lien of this
Mortgage be altered  thereby.  In the event of the sale or transfer by operation
of law or otherwise of all or any part of the  Mortgaged  Property,  the Lender,
without notice to any person or  corporation is hereby  authorized and empowered
to deal with any such  vendee or  transferee  with  reference  to the  Mortgaged
Property or the  indebtedness  secured  hereby,  or with reference to any of the
terms of  conditions  hereof,  as fully and to the same  extent as it might deal
with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging
any of the liabilities or  undertakings  hereunder of Mortgagor or of any maker,
co-signer, endorser or guarantor of the Note.

         3.12  DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS - POSITION OF PARTIES RESTORED.  In
               ------------------------------------------------------------
case the Lender  shall have  proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this
Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been
determined  adversely to the Lender,  then and in every such case tile Mortgagor
and the Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
and all rights,  powers and remedies of the Lender shall  continue as if no such
proceeding had been taken.

         3.13  LITIGATION AND ATTORNEY'S FEES.  Mortgagor shall pay or reimburse
               ------------------------------
Lender for all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender

action, proceeding or dispute of any kind in which the Lender is made a party or
appears  as  party  plaintiff  or  defendant,  affecting  this  Mortgage  or the
Mortgaged  Property,  including  without  limitation  the  foreclosure  of  this
Mortgage,  any  condemnation  action  involving the Mortgaged  Property,  or any
action to protect the security hereof, and in any situation where Lender employs
an attorney  to protect  the  Lender's  rights  hereunder,  whether or not legal
proceedings are commenced or involved.  All such amounts paid by Lender shall be

specified in the Note and shall be payable by Mortgagor upon demand.

$5,420,000.00, for the purpose of providing a source of funds to enable Borrower

development expenses. Borrower agrees to accept the Loan and to use the proceeds
thereof only as provided  herein.  The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, with
principal and interest being payable as provided in the Note and the Mortgage.

         2.2  Security for the Loan.  The  obligations  of Borrower to repay the
              ---------------------
principal and interest on the Loan shall be secured by:

              2.2.1  The Mortgage;

              2.2.2  the Assignment of Rents,  Leases,  and Profits  relating to
the Project dated as of even date herewith;

              2.2.3  the Assignment of Construction Documents, Contracts, Rights

         2.3  Loan Origination Fee.  In consideration of Lender making the Loan,
              --------------------
in addition to interest and any and all other payments due Lender under the Note
and this Agreement, Borrower has paid to Lender a nonrefundable loan origination
fee (the "Fee") in an amount equal to .5% of the  principal  amount of the Loan;
i.e., $27,100.00.  The parties agree that the Fee is not a charge for the use of
money but is a charge for the  purchase  of the right to secure a loan of money.
It is agreed  that the Fee was a material  inducement  for Lender to continue to
make the Loan and to be ready,  willing, and able to fund the Loan in accordance
with the terms  hereof.  The Fee  shall be in  addition  to all  other  payments
(including,  without  limitation,  principal  and  interest),  due  and  payable
pursuant  to the  terms,  provisions,  and  conditions  of  the  Note  and  this
Agreement.

         2.5  Interest Reserve.  Lender  shall  allocate the sum of $0.00 of the
              ----------------
Loan to an  interest  reserve  (the  "Interest  Reserve")  to ensure  payment by
Borrower of the  interest due to Lender  under the Loan.  Lender shall  disburse
from the  Interest  Reserve  such amounts as may be necessary to pay interest on
the Loan on the first  banking  Business Day of each  respective  month that the
same becomes due under the terms of the Note, unless Borrower elects to pay such
interest in cash when due. It is understood that as long as there are sufficient
funds in the  Interest  Reserve,  Borrower  has the  option of not  paying  such
interest in cash,  but rather of having  such  interest  paid from the  Interest
Reserve and the amounts thus disbursed  added to the  outstanding  amount of the
principal of the Loan.  This option is given at  Borrower's  request and for the
benefit  of  Borrower  and shall be deemed to have been  exercised  by  Borrower
without the necessity of further  documentation  on each  interest  payment date
during the period that the Interest  Reserve has sufficient  funds.  At any time
that interest  payments on the Loan shall be due, Lender shall bill Borrower for
that interest and Borrower may either (a) pay the interest and request Lender to
reimburse  Borrower for any such Interest so paid from, the Interest Reserve and
charge Borrower's  account  therefor,  or (b) request Lender to advance any such
amount of interest  due to itself from the Interest  Reserve and  simultaneously
charge  Borrower's  account  therefor.  Before any  default in any of the terms,
covenants,  and  provisions of any of the documents  evidencing and securing the
Loan, Lender shall, to the extent the Interest Reserve is sufficient, either (a)
advance any such amount of interest due to itself from the Interest  Reserve and
simultaneously  charge Borrower's  account therefor,  or (b) reimburse  Borrower
from the Interest Reserve for any interest paid by Borrower, as may be requested
by Borrower  under the terms  hereof.  The amount of the each payment out of the
Interest  Reserve  shall  increase in  respective  amounts the  then-outstanding
principal  balance  due on the  Loan.  When  and if  such  Interest  Reserve  is
depleted, all monthly interest payments shall be paid by Borrower in cash. If at
the time the Final  Advance  under  Paragraph  4.4 hereof is made  there  remain
undisbursed amounts in the Interest Reserve,  such amounts shall be disbursed to
Borrower as part of the Final Advance.

         2.6  (Omitted).

proposed  Improvements and related amenities to be constructed thereon, and such
zoning and all other  applicable  laws and ordinances do not impose any setbacks
or other requirements that would make the construction infeasible;  and Borrower
is not aware of any problem or  requirement  that would  jeopardize the building
permits for the Improvements.

         3.24  Improvements.  The  Improvements as of the date of this Agreement
               ------------
(if there be any) are free of any material  defects in  construction  and are in
compliance  with  all  applicable  construction  codes  and  other  governmental
requirements.  To the best of Borrower's knowledge and belief, all surveys, plot
plans,  and other  documents  heretofore  furnished  by  Borrower to Lender with
respect to the Realty and  Improvements  are  accurate  and  complete  as of the
respective dates thereof.

         3.25   Construction  Costs.  To the best of Borrower's  knowledge,  the
                -------------------
amounts of the Construction Costs and Non-Construction Costs are accurate, true,
and correct and are satisfactory to Borrower.

         3.26  Construction   Liens.  As  of  the  date  hereof,  no  notice  of
               --------------------
commencement  has been filed of record with respect to the Land, the Realty,  or
the  Improvements,  and no claims of lien have been  filed  with  respect to the
Land,  the Realty,  or the  Improvements,  and no other act or thing has been or
will be done with  respect to the Land,  the Realty,  or the  Improvements  that
could,  under any circumstances,  give rise to any lien of a mechanic,  material
supplier,  contractor,  subcontractor,  or laborer,  before the recording of the
Mortgage.

         3.27 (Omitted).

         3.28 Reaffirmation of Representations  and Warranties.  Each request by
              ------------------------------------------------
Borrower for an, Advance hereunder (a) shall constitute a reaffirmation that the
foregoing  representations and warranties (except with respect to the warranties
contained in Paragraph 3.26) remain true and correct in all material respects as
of the date of such  request  and,  unless  Lender is notified  to the  contrary

before  disbursement  of the requested  Advance,  will be so on the date of such
Advance,  and (b) shall constitute  Borrower's  representation and warranty that
the  information  set  forth  in each  such  request  and any  certification  by
Borrower's  Architect  supplied in connection  therewith is true and correct and
omits no material fact necessary to make the same not misleading.

                                   ARTICLE IV.
                ADVANCES AND COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST
                ------------------------------------------------

         4.1  Purpose, Time, Place. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
              --------------------
from time to time as work on the Project progresses,  Lender shall make advances
on the Loan to Borrower, in aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Budget,
in the  amounts  specified  in  Paragraph  4.3 hereof for the  purpose of paying
Construction  Costs (the "Construction  Loan Fund") and  Non-construction  Costs
incurred in connection with the Project  (hereinafter  an "Advance");  provided,
however, no more than the total certified  Construction Costs approved by Lender
shall be disbursed at any time under the Loan, and Lender shall not be obligated
to make any Advance for work not completed before the Completion Date.  Borrower
agrees that all  Advances  will be made by such means as Lender may from time to
time  designate;  however,  Lender  shall not be  required  to see to the proper
application  of any such  Advance  and shall not  incur  any  liability  for any
failure of such proper application.  Furthermore,  following an Event of Default
and for as- long as such Event Of Default  remains  uncured (if cure  thereof is
accepted by Lender),  Lender reserves the right to disburse Advances directly to
contractors and  subcontractors,  and no further direction or authorization from
Borrower shall be necessary following an Event of Default to permit disbursement
directly to the contractors,  subcontractors,  and material  suppliers,  and all
disbursements  so made  shall  satisfy  pro  tanto  the  obligations  of  Lender
hereunder.  As a condition  precedent  to the initial  Advance,  Borrower  shall
furnish  to Lender a complete  construction  schedule  and a current  trade cost
breakdown of the entire Project, itemized as to trade items, trade descriptions,
and correct lists of all subcontractors and suppliers employed or to be employed
in connection with the construction of the Improvements.

         Lender  shall  make  Advances  for  materials  that are  stored  on the
Premises  but  not  affixed  to or  incorporated  in  the  Improvements,  if the
materials are securely  stored and  protected  from and insured  against  theft,
vandalism, and the elements to Lender's reasonable satisfaction.

         The  Budget   (also   referred  to  as  Schedule  of  Values)  for  the
Construction Costs is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The  Non-Construction  Costs
are described in Exhibit C. Notwithstanding anything else in this Loan Agreement
to the  contrary,  no  disbursements  will be made  for  Construction  Costs  or
Non-Construction  Costs  until  Borrower  has paid out of pocket  (and  provided
satisfactory  receipts of payment to Lender) Three  Hundred  Twenty One Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($321,000.00) in costs. The $321,000.00 shall not include any
payments for the appraisal,  survey update,  feasibility study,  origination fee
and loan closing  costs,  all of which will be paid out of pocket by Borrower in
addition to the $321,000.00.


                                       11

<PAGE>

         4.2 Amount.  Each Advance  shall be based on a percentage of completion
of work in place and be in an amount  equal to the  lesser of (a) the  amount of
the Non-Construction Costs and Construction Costs incurred since the date of the
then  immediately  preceding  Advance (or since the date of  commencement of the
Project in case of the initial Advance) that is then due and payable;  or (b) an
amount that does not exceed the budgeted amount for such work in accordance with
the  Budget.  Lender  may  (but  shall  not be  obligated  to)  make an  on-site
inspection and review of construction to verify the percentage of completion and
certify any  Request for  Advance.  The  initial  Advance may defray  certain of
Borrower's costs incurred in improving and developing the Premises and marketing
the Project before the date of this  Agreement;  however,  none of the foregoing
costs and expenditures  shall have the effect of diluting  Borrower's  equity in
the  Project  and none  shall  exceed  the  budgeted  amount  for such  items in
accordance with the Budget. Lender may deduct from any Advance the amount of any
retainages, initial fees, expenses, and deposits in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

         4.3  Advances - Procedure.  Lender will make advances hereunder no more
              --------------------

               -----------------------------------------------------
undertakes any of its rights in  subparagraph  7.2.4,  Borrower  agrees that (a)

exercising its rights under subparagraph 7.2.4,  Borrower hereby constitutes and
appoints  Lender  its  true  and  lawful  attorney-in-fact  with  full  power of
substitution  and empowers said  attorney or attorneys to execute,  acknowledge,
and deliver any  instruments  and do and perform any acts such as referred to in
subparagraph  7.2.4 in the name and on behalf of Borrower.  The powers vested in
said attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Lender
shall  indemnify  Borrower  for  damages  sustained  by  Borrower as a result of
Lender's gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct in the conduct of its
powers pursuant to this subparagraph.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

         8.1. Additional Rights of Lender.
              ---------------------------

              8.1.1.  Lender  shall  have  the right to commence,  appear in, or
defend any  action or  proceedings  purporting  to affect  the  Premises  or its
furnishings or equipment or the rights or duties of the parties hereunder or the
payment of any of the Loan  proceeds and, in  connection  therewith,  to pay all
necessary expenses,  including reasonable attorneys' and legal assistants' fees,
and any such sums paid or expended by Lender,  plus interest thereon at the rate


                                       27
<PAGE>

applicable to Advances  hereunder (as specified in the Note), shall be repaid by
Borrower to Lender on demand and shall be secured by the Security Documents.

              8.1.2. If Lender determines that any work or  materials are not in
material  conformity  with  the  Plans or  ordinances,  statutes,  permits,  and
regulations,  and Lender's  security is placed in jeopardy  thereby,  Lender may
stop the work and other  replacement  or  correction  regardless of whether such
work or materials have theretofore been incorporated into the Improvements.

              8.1.3.  For the purpose of exercising  the rights  granted by this
Paragraph 8.1, Borrower irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender its true and
lawful   attorney-in-fact,   with  full  power  of  substitution,   to  execute,
acknowledge,  and deliver any  instruments and to do and perform any acts in the
name and on behalf of Borrower.

              8.1.4.   Any  notices  under  this  paragraph  shall  specify  the
reason  Lender is  taking  any of the acts and  actions  authorized  under  this
paragraph.

         8.2. Lender's  Rights  Optional.  Whenever in  this Agreement Lender is
              --------------------------
given the right to take any action or execute any  instrument,  Lender shall not
incur any  liability for failure to exercise such right or for  any  delay in so
exercising such right.

         8.3.  No  Representations  by  Lender.  Lender  has  no  obligation  in
               -------------------------------
connection with the Premises, except to advance the proceeds of the Loan. Lender
shall  not be  responsible  for the  performance,  nonperformance,  or  delay in
performance of any contractor,  subcontractor,  or supplier of materials, or for
the  quality of  workmanship  or  materials,  or for the  failure to  construct,
complete, protect, or insure the Improvements, or for the payment of any cost or
expense   incurred  in  connection   therewith,   or  for  the   performance  or
nonperformance  or delay in  performance  of any  obligation  of  Borrower.  Any
inspection  by  Lender,  or the  approval  of any  plans,  contracts,  or  other
activities  in the  nature  thereof,  shall be only  for the  sole and  separate
benefit of Lender and for the purpose of protecting the security of Lender,  and
the  same  shall  in no way be  construed  as a  representation  that  there  is
compliance on the part of Borrower or that the  construction of the Improvements
is free  from  faulty  material  or  workmanship.  The fact  that  Lender  makes
inspections  shall  not  relieve  Borrower  from  its  duties  to  independently
ascertain  that the  Improvements  are being  completed in  accordance  with the
Plans, and Borrower has no right to rely on any procedures taken by Lender.

         8.4.  Loan  Expenses.  Borrower  shall pay all costs  and  expenses  in

intangible,  and other taxes;  recording  costs and  expenses;  cost of surveys,
appraisals,  abstracting,  policies  of  title  insurance  and any  endorsements
thereto,  and license and permit fees.  Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender
harmless  from and against  any and all costs,  losses,  liability,  and expense
arising in connection with any of the foregoing.  Borrower  authorizes Lender to
use  proceeds of the Loan to satisfy any of the costs and  expenses  referred to
herein,  and no  further  direction  or  authorization  from  Borrower  shall be
necessary to warrant disbursements in payment of the foregoing.

<PAGE>
         8.5.  Further Assurances.  Borrower agrees that after the execution and
               ------------------
delivery of this Agreement,  it shall execute and deliver such further documents
and do such further acts and things as Lender may reasonably request in order to
fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

         8.6.  Assignment.  Lender  may  assign  this  Agreement  and the  other
               ----------
agreements  contemplated  hereby and all of its rights hereunder and thereunder,
and cause the assignee or any subsequent  assignee to make any Advances not made
at the time of the  assignment,  and all the provisions of this Agreement  shall
continue to apply to the Loan.  Lender shall have the right to  participate  the
Loan with other lending  institutions.  Borrower shall not assign this Agreement
or the  proceeds to be  advanced  hereunder.  The rights of Borrower  under this
Agreement are not assignable.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if Borrower does
make an assignment of this Agreement or of its rights hereunder,  Lender may, at
Lender's option,  continue to make Advances  hereunder to Borrower or Borrower's
successors in interest in the Premises, and all sums so advanced shall be deemed
Advances made in pursuance and not in modification hereof and shall be evidenced
and secured by the Note and the Mortgage.

         8.7. Rights, Remedies,  Powers. Each and every right, remedy, and power
              -------------------------
granted to Lender  hereunder  shall be  cumulative  and in addition to any other
right,  remedy, or power herein specifically  granted, now or hereafter existing
in equity, at law, by virtue of statute,  or otherwise,  and may be exercised by
Lender from time to time  concurrently or independently and as often and in such
order as Lender may deem  expedient.  Any failure or delay on the part of Lender
in exercising any such right, remedy, or power, or abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce the same,  shall not  operate as a waiver  thereof or affect
Lender's  right  thereafter  to  exercise  the same,  and any  single or partial
exercise of any such right,  remedy,  or power shall not  preclude  any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power. If
Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any such right, remedy, or power and such
proceedings  shall have been determined  adversely to Lender, in each such event
Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former  positions and the rights,
remedies, and powers of Lender shall continue as if no such proceedings had been
taken.

         8.8.  Modification, Waiver, Consent.  Any modification or waiver of any
               -----------------------------
provision  of  this  Agreement  or any  consent  to any  departure  by  Borrower
therefrom  shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and
signed by  Lender,  and then such  modification,  waiver,  or  consent  shall be
effective only in the specific  instance and for the specific purpose given. Any
notice to or demand on Borrower in any event not specifically required of Lender
hereunder shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in
the  same,  similar,  or  other  circumstances   unless  specifically   required
hereunder.  Any advance of Loan proceeds hereunder shall not constitute a waiver
of any of the conditions of Lender's  obligations to make further  advances nor,
in the event  Borrower is unable to satisfy any such  condition,  shall any such
waiver have the effect of  precluding  Lender  from  thereafter  declaring  such
inability to be an Event of Default as provided in Paragraph 7.1.

         8.9.  (Omitted).

and Borrower is not the agent or representative  of Lender,  and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make Lender liable to anyone for goods delivered
or services  performed by them on the Realty or for debts or claims  accruing to
them against Borrower. Nothing herein shall be construed to create a contractual
relationship  between  Lender and anyone  supplying  labor or  materials  to the
Realty;  Lender's  obligations  are not for the benefit of or enforceable by any
successor to or assignee of Borrower except as specifically provided herein.

         8.16.   Agreement  Solely For Benefit of Lender.  Etc.   All conditions
                 ----------------------------------------------
precedent to the  obligation of Lender to make  Advances are imposed  solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and its assigns, and no other person shall
have standing to require  satisfaction  of such  conditions  in accordance  with

the absence of strict  compliance  with any or all  provisions  thereof,  and no
other person shall,  under any  circumstances,  be deemed to be a beneficiary of
such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Lender at any time if in its sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so.

         8.17.  No Partnership or Joint Venture.  Nothing  contained  herein nor

that date and even if the money is held in escrow  pursuant  to the terms of any
escrow arrangement or agreement.  When money is disbursed by wire transfer,  the
