Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents dated as of November 7, 1985 (the "Deed of
Trust") made by the Partnership in favor of ZCC III. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) or an event of default as
provided for in Section 4.01 of the Deed of Trust, the same not having been
cured during any applicable cure period provided for in the Agreement or the
Deed of Trust, ZCC III may, at its election, declare all unpaid principal of,
and all unpaid interest accrued under, this Promissory Note to be immediately

upon demand therefor, ZCC III may exercise its rights as a secured party under
the Agreement and/or as the beneficiary under the Deed of Trust, to foreclose on
the security interests granted to ZCC III under the Agreement and/or the Deed of
Trust. This Promissory Note shall be without recourse to the Partnership, and in
the event of any failure by the Partnership to pay any amount when due or
payable (at the stated time of maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise) under
this Promissory Note, ZCC III's sole recourse shall be to the security provided
for with respect to this Promissory Note in the Agreement and the Deed of Trust
and the Partnership shall in no event be personally liable under this Promissory
Note.
This Promissory Note is subject to mandatory prepayment in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Except for any such mandatory
prepayments, no prepayments of principal or interest shall be permitted during
the five-year period commencing from the date of issuance of this Promissory
Note. After the expiration of such five-year period, prepayments of principal
may be made at any time provided that any such prepayment is accompanied by
payment of all accrued interest thereon and by additional payment of a premium
calculated by multiplying the outstanding balance of principal immediately prior
to such prepayment by a percentage equal to the product of (a) 11.25% and (b)
the applicable fraction set forth below next to the specified anniversary date
of the date of issuance of this Promissory Note which immediately precedes the
