SECOND LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Second Loan Modification Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of
_____________, 1997 between RGI HOLDINGS, INC., a Washington corporation
("Lender"), LEGEND PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and
the affiliates and subsidiaries of Borrower identified on the signature pages of
this Agreement (the "Obligors").
Recitals
A. At the request of Borrower and Obligors, Lender agreed to modify the
Loan Documents as provided in the Loan Modification Agreement dated as of May
21, 1996 ("First Loan Modification"). Capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the First Loan Modification.
B. Borrower and Obligors have now requested that Lender further modify
the Loan Documents to, among other things, reduce the interest rate on the Loan,
defer certain interest payments, and forbear from taking certain action against
Borrower and Obligors for certain periods of time.
C. Lender is willing to modify the Loan Documents on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below,
Lender, Borrower, and Obligors agree to the following:
1. Reaffirmation of Obligations Under Loan Documents. Borrower and
Obligors reaffirm all of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents.
Borrower and Obligors acknowledge and confirm that Borrower is justly indebted
to Lender under the Loan Documents and that the amounts owed by Borrower to
Lender under the Loan Agreement and Note are as set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto.
2. Reduction in Interest Rate. Subject to the fulfillment of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof, Lender agrees to reduce the
interest rate on the Loan, effective as of January 1, 1997, from the Prime Rate
(as defined in Section 7(i) of the First Loan Modification) plus two percent
(2%) to the lesser of (a) the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) or (b) Libor Rate
(as defined below) plus two and one-half percent (2.5%). The "Libor Rate" means
the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal by Dow Xxxxx & Company, Inc.

3. Deferral of Interest Payments. Subject to the prior fulfillment of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof, Lender agrees that all
interest payments due on the Loan from and after January 1, 1997 shall be
deferred until the earlier of (a) December 31, 1997, (b) the date on which
Borrower refinances the Loan, or (c) the date on which Borrower has funds
available from other sources (such as the sale of certain properties) to pay
accrued interest on the Loan.
4. Use of Sale Proceeds from Lynnwood Shopping Center. Subject to the
prior fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof, the
definition of "NON-DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY," as set forth in Section 7(i) of the
First Loan Modification, is amended by deleting the second sentence relating to
the Lynnwood Shopping Center. It is the intent of the parties that
notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2.4(B)(ii)
of the Credit Agreement, as modified by Section 7(g) of the First Loan
Modification, the proceeds from the sale of the Lynnwood Shopping Center are not
required to be paid to Lender and instead may be retained by Borrower and used
for other purposes.
5. Forbearance with Respect to Defaults. Subject to the prior
fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof, Lender
covenants and agrees that from the date hereof until December 31, 1997, for any
and all Events of Default or Potential Events of Default under the Loan
Documents as of the date hereof:
a. Lender shall not accelerate the Loan; and
b. Lender shall not attach, sequester, foreclose, replevin or
otherwise initiate any action against Borrower or Obligors or any of their
respective assets or properties.
6. Conditions Precedent. Lender's obligations under this Agreement are
subject to the prior fulfillment of the following conditions precedent:
a. This Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by
Lender, Borrower and Obligors.
b. The Effective Date shall have occurred under Section 4 of the
Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement signed in connection with the class
action litigation against Borrower in Delaware relating to the merger of
RGI U.S. Holdings, Inc. and Borrower, and Lender shall have received a
legal opinion satisfactory to it in form and substance confirming that the
effectiveness of said merger can no longer be challenged by the
shareholders of Borrower or any other party.

amendments and information with respect to the matters contemplated by this
Agreement and the Loan Documents as Lender may reasonably request.

agreement to enter into this Agreement, Borrower and Obligors covenant and agree
that:

execute such additional documents as are reasonably requested by Lender
(and Fokus Bank ASA, to whom Lender has assigned the Note and related
