with said legal action.
5. Judicial, Non-Judicial or Administrative Action. If Escrow Agent is made
a party to any judicial, non-judicial or administrative action, hearing or
process based on acts of any of the other parties hereto and not on any
malfeasance or negligence of Escrow Agent in performing its duties hereunder and
which seeks to recover or direct distribution or release of the Escrow
Documents, the expenses, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Escrow
Agent in responding to such action, hearing or process shall be paid by the
non-prevailing party in any such dispute (as determined by a court of competent

interest (including specifically, but without implied limitation, any rights of
redemption) or claims in and to the Property or to the rents, issues or profits

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, made as of the 2nd day of January, 2001, by and between HIGH
CASH PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Owner"), with offices
located at c/o Pembroke Companies, Inc., 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, XX 00000, and KESTREL MANAGEMENT LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"MANAGING AGENT"), with offices located at Five Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, OWNER owns the land and buildings known as the Sierra Marketplace
located on the southeast corner of South Virginia Street and Xxxx Xxxx in the
City of Reno, Washoe County, Nevada (collectively referred to herein as the
"PROJECT") and
WHEREAS, the Managing Agent and its managerial personnel and affiliates are
experienced in managing and operating first class commercial space; and
WHEREAS, the Owner desires to retain the Managing Agent to operate and
manage the Project on behalf of the Owner, and the Managing Agent desires to be
so retained, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, the Owner and the Managing Agent hereby agree as follows:
1. RETENTION OF THE MANAGING AGENT. Pursuant to the terms provided
herein and subject to the limitations and conditions herein set forth, the Owner
hereby appoints the Managing Agent, and the Managing Agent hereby accepts the
appointment, as the managing and operating agent of the Project with authority
to manage the day-to-day operations of the Project on behalf of the Owner.
2. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES AND PAYMENT THEREFOR. During the term of
this Agreement, on behalf of the Owner, the Managing Agent shall perform the
services described in this Agreement and pay all expenses required to be paid in
connection therewith, all of which shall, if reasonable, and except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, be paid from "GROSS PROCEEDS" and be an "EXPENSE"
(both as defined in SECTION 4(B)(XII)); provided, however, that to the extent
funds are not available either from Gross Proceeds or the Owner, the Managing
Agent shall not be obligated to pay said Expenses.
3. TERM. The rights and obligations of the Managing Agent hereunder
shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided, on March 1, 2003 (the "EXPIRATION DATE").
4. THE MANAGING AGENT'S DUTIES.
(a) Except as otherwise directed from time to time by the Owner, the
Managing Agent (1) shall perform or cause to be performed, all of the Owner's
obligations
31
as landlord (sometimes referred to herein as "LANDLORD") to the tenants
("TENANT" or "TENANTS") under the space leases for the Project ("SPACE LEASE")
that are capable of being performed by persons other than the Landlord and (2)
shall not perform or cause to be performed any act, the performance of which
would cause a default under a Space Lease or would permit a Tenant to validly
claim a reduction in rent, a termination of its Space Lease or any other remedy
under its Space Lease. The obligations of the Managing Agent hereunder shall be
limited by the availability of funds with which to perform such obligations, and
the Managing Agent shall have no obligation to advance funds or to perform any
act or obligation if sufficient funds are not available for such purposes.
(b) In pursuance, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
on behalf of the Owner, the Managing Agent shall, except as otherwise directed
from time to time by the Owner, perform the following services:
(i) Operate the Project in a first-class manner and shall undertake to
provide such services as are then customarily provided by operators of similar
type projects of comparable class and standing to the Project in the same market
area;
(ii) Apply sound administrative, accounting, budgeting, operational,
sales, advertising, personnel and purchasing policies and practices in such a
manner as will maximize the revenues, profitability and value of the Project
consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
(iii) Use its reasonable efforts to obtain the compliance of Tenants
with regard to their obligations under their Space Leases. The Managing Agent
shall not have the right, on behalf of the Owner, to enter into new Space Leases
or to cancel, renew, extend or amend any existing or new Space Lease, without,
in each case, the prior written approval of the Owner. Unless otherwise
specifically directed by the Owner, all Space Leases shall be in accordance with
the leasing standards then in effect and be on the approved Owner's standard
lease form or Managing Agent's form if approved in writing by the Owner. All
such leases and/or lease modifications shall be executed by the Owner;
(iv) Diligently review all leases, subleases and assignments of leases
for space in the Project by a Tenant occupying space in the Project or a
prospective tenant and submit the same to Owner for review, approval and
execution;
(v) Upon the request of the Owner, provide copies of all Space Leases,
subleases and assignments then in effect and/or shall deliver to the Owner, and
to any persons designated by the Owner, a schedule of all then existing Space
Leases, which schedule shall provide such information concerning such Space
Leases and the Tenants as the Owner shall reasonably request;
(vi) Supervise and be solely responsible for the hiring, directing,
promoting, discharging and the work of (1) all personnel located on- site and
performing managerial and supervisory services in or about the Project and (2)
all personnel performing on-site operating and service functions in connection
with the Project (the personnel described in (1) and (2) above, collectively
referred to herein as "PROJECT EMPLOYEES"). All
32
of the Project Employees shall be employees of the Managing Agent. The Owner
reserves the right to approve in its reasonable discretion all Project
Employees, if so desired. The total aggregate compensation, including fringe
benefits and severance obligations, payable with respect to Project Employees
shall constitute an Expense of the Project and shall be paid from Gross
Proceeds. The Managing Agent shall prepare the payroll for all Project
Employees, and shall pay all wages, salaries, taxes and benefits to or in
respect of all Project Employees, all of which shall constitute an Expense of
the Project. Commencing March 1, 2001, the Managing Agent may from time to time
assign one or more of its other employees to the Project on a temporary basis to
function as a Project Employee of the Project. The reasonable aggregate
compensation payable to such Project Employees while assigned to the Project and
on Project business shall be an Expense of the Project;
(vii) The Managing Agent shall receive, consider, evaluate and keep
complete records with respect to, and, except as specifically limited by other
provisions of this Agreement, shall handle, compromise or settle, the complaints
of all Tenants or users of any of the services or facilities of the Project;
provided, however, the Managing Agent is not authorized to, and shall not
compromise or settle, or make any payment with respect to, any such complaint
without the prior written consent of the Owner if such compromise, settlement or
payment: (a) would, prior to March 1, 2001, reduce Gross Proceeds or increase
Expenses of the Project, or (b) could, on or after March 1, 2001, not be payable
out of Gross Proceeds;
(viii) The Managing Agent shall(a) enter into contracts for services
furnished to the Project such as electricity, gas, water, telephone, cleaning,
elevator and boiler maintenance, heating and air conditioning maintenance and
all other necessary utilities and services, (b) enter into leases for personal
property necessary for the management and operation of the Project and (c)
purchase all utilities, services, material and supplies as are required to be
rendered or supplied to the Tenants pursuant to their Space Leases or any common
operating agreement; provided, however, that, unless approved in the Plan, any
contract or other agreement which exceeds the amount approved in the Plan or if
not approved in the Plan and requires the payment of $10,000 or more must have
prior written approval of the Owner; provided, further however, that the
Managing Agent shall not be required to obtain the Owner's prior approval of,
nor its signature on, any such agreement which in the reasonable determination
of the Managing Agent results from a condition of an emergency nature. The
Managing Agent shall promptly notify the Owner of any said emergency and the
agreement which was executed without the Owner's approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Agent may not enter into
any such contract or other agreements without the prior approval of the Owner,
which conflicts with the limits of liability provision in SECTION 9(E) hereof;
(ix) The Managing Agent shall cause all repairs ("REPAIRS") to be made
regardless of the extent or nature of the Repair, if the Repair is necessary to
keep all parts of the Project in good condition to the extent the Repair is not
required to be made by the Tenants pursuant to their Space Leases or any common
operating agreement. Unless approved by the Owner or otherwise approved in the
Plan, the Managing Agent shall not make or permit to be made any Repairs to the
Project (except such Repairs as may be
33
required to comply with the "LEGAL REQUIREMENTS" (as defined in SECTION
4(B)(XIV)) or to prevent loss of insurance described in SECTION 8(A) hereof) in
a manner that would, in the Owner's reasonable judgment, impair the value or
utility of the Project, or that would permit any Tenant to claim a reduction in
rent or other charges, a termination of its Space Lease or claim any other
remedy pursuant to its Space Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that the Managing Agent reasonably determines that an emergency condition exists
in or about the Project of a nature that requires immediate Repairs to be made
to preserve and protect the Project and assure its continued operation, the
Managing Agent is authorized to take all reasonable steps to make all
expenditures necessary to repair and correct such emergency conditions, whether
or not these emergency repairs have been provided for in the Plan. All Repairs
shall be expeditiously completed in a good and workmanlike manner in conformance
with plans and specifications, if any, therefor and shall be in compliance with
all Legal Requirements and shall conform to requirements of all Space Leases,
and any mortgage or agreement affecting the Project including the requirements
of all insurance policies affecting the Project;
(x) Unless approved in the Plan or otherwise approved by the Owner, the
Managing Agent shall not perform, or permit to be performed, any Landlord
preparation work as required by any Space Lease ("LANDLORD PREPARATION WORK"),
and shall not permit any Tenant improvements permitted or required by any Space
Lease ("TENANT IMPROVEMENTS") (except such Tenant Improvements as may be
required to comply with the Legal Requirements) to be made, in a manner that
would impair the value or utility of the Project or that would permit any Tenant
to claim a reduction in rent or other charges, a termination of its Space Lease
or claim any other remedy pursuant to its Space Lease;
(xi) If the replacement and/or restoration of fixtures, equipment and
other ordinary Project capital replacement items or improvements which are not
Landlord Preparation Work, Tenant Improvements or Repairs (collectively,
"CAPITAL REPLACEMENTS") becomes necessary or desirable and is approved subject
to the conditions contained in this Agreement including, without limitation, the
Capital Replacements required to be made in order to comply with any Legal
Requirement or the requirements of any Space Lease, and any other agreement or
mortgage affecting the Project hereunder, the Managing Agent shall include in
the Monthly Statement (as defined in SECTION 6(B)) for the month in which the
Capital Replacement occurs the cost therefor. Unless made as a result of a
condition which in the reasonable determination of the Managing Agent is of an
emergency nature, prior to March 1, 2001, the Managing Agent shall not make, or
cause to be made, any Capital Replacements without first obtaining the written
approval of the Owner. Prior to March 1, 2001, the Managing Agent shall promptly
notify the Owner of said emergency and the agreement which was executed without
the Owner's approval. All Capital Replacements shall be made, or caused to be
made, by the Managing Agent expeditiously, in a good and workmanlike manner, in
conformance with any plans and specifications, if any, therefor and in
compliance with all Legal Requirements and the requirements of the Space Leases,
and any mortgage or agreement affecting the Project, including the requirements
of any insurance policies affecting the Project;
(xii) The Managing Agent shall collect, on behalf of the Owner, all
34
Gross Proceeds and shall deposit all such Gross Proceeds along with any monies
furnished by the Owner as working funds and all other monies received by the
Managing Agent relating to the Project in a separate non-commingled interest
bearing account maintained at Fleet Bank (the "BANK ACCOUNT"), held in the name
of the Managing Agent as agent for the Project. "GROSS PROCEEDS" shall mean all
amounts collected by the Managing Agent from or in connection with the
management and operation of the Project or are in any way incidental to the
foregoing (other than any security deposits), including, without limitation,
base rents, percentage rents, and all additional charges collected and pursuant
to the Space Leases, and all other additional amounts collected under the Space
Leases, attributable to common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes and
other operating expenses and assessments (collectively, "ESCALATORS"),
condemnation awards, insurance proceeds and real estate tax refunds and rebates
of other operating expenses. All Gross Proceeds collected and any and all items
paid by the Managing Agent arising by virtue of the management of the Project
shall be deposited to and paid from the Bank Account. The Managing Agent shall
use Gross Proceeds to pay all expenses (collectively "EXPENSES") relating to the
management, operation, leasing, maintenance and administration of the Project,
including any compensation payable to the Managing Agent pursuant to SECTION 7
hereof, other than expenses, which pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, are
payable by the Managing Agent from its own funds. The excess, if any, of Gross
Proceeds over Expenses ("GROSS OPERATING CASH FLOW") for any calendar month
shall be paid in the manner set forth in SECTION 6(B) hereof;
(xiii) The Managing Agent shall cause to be paid, out of Gross
Proceeds, as required for the operation of the Project, on or before the last
day on which they may be paid without penalty, all taxes (including real estate
taxes or other taxes billed together with real estate taxes), assessments,
levies, fees, water, sewer and other utility rents and charges and all other
governmental charges, and all fines, penalties and court disbursements, that are
imposed or levied upon, or assessed against or measured by, the Project or any
portion thereof. If any amount levied or assessed against the Project, or any
part thereof, or payable in connection with the operation of the Project,
becomes due and payable and may legally be paid in installments, the Managing
Agent shall pay such amount in installments.
(xiv) The Managing Agent shall comply with, and shall cause the Project
to comply with, all laws, codes, ordinances, regulations and other governmental
rules now or hereafter in force (collectively, the "LEGAL REQUIREMENTS") that
are applicable to the Project or the occupancy, use or condition thereof,
including, without limitation, the curing of any violation of any Legal
Requirements. If such compliance necessitates the making of any Repairs, then
the Managing Agent shall comply with the provisions set forth in SECTION
4(B)(VIII) AND (IX) hereof, and if such compliance necessitates the making of
any Capital Replacements, then the Managing Agent shall follow the procedures
set forth in SECTION 4(B)(XI) hereof; provided, however, that, in the case of an
emergency or failure to comply promptly with (including to cure any violation
of) any Legal Requirement which (a) shall expose the Owner to criminal liability
or (b) shall constitute an event of default under any Space Lease and any
mortgage or other agreement affecting the Project, the Managing Agent shall
cause compliance or the curing of the violation without awaiting the Owner's
consent and shall promptly inform the Owner of any action taken or being taken
by it in connection
35
with such compliance or cure. Unless otherwise directed by the Owner, the
Managing Agent shall, to the extent the Managing Agent deems appropriate, in
consultation with the Owner, protest or litigate to final decision in the
appropriate court or forum the application of any alleged Legal Requirement or
the violation of any Legal Requirement adversely affecting the Project. Prior to
March 1, 2001, no settlement shall be entered into in any matter without the
Owner's written consent. On or after March 1, 2001, no settlement shall be
entered into in any matter without the Owner's written consent if such
settlement would result in any cost to Owner, not otherwise payable out of Gross
Proceeds.
(xv) Use its reasonable efforts to prevent any liens, charges or
encumbrances (collectively, "LIENS") from being filed against the Project which
arise from any maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or
replacements in or to the Project. The Managing Agent shall use its best efforts
to cause the prompt release of any Liens (other than a lien resulting from any
action taken by the Owner, or taken by the Managing Agent at the Owner's written
direction);
(xvi) Give prompt notice to the Owner of any defaults by any of the
Tenants under their Space Leases and shall, unless notified in writing to the
contrary by the Owner, institute in its own name or in the name of the Owner,
any necessary legal actions or proceedings to collect all charges, rents, other
Gross Proceeds and monetary damages from the Tenants or other persons in
possession or to cancel or terminate any Space Lease or to dispossess the
Tenants or other persons in possession on grounds of nonpayment of any amount
due (or on grounds of any other failure to perform) under the applicable Space
Lease or otherwise enforce the provisions of the Space Leases. Prior to March 1,
2001, no settlement shall be entered into in any matter without the Owner's
written approval. On or after March 1, 2001, no settlement shall be entered into
in any matter without the Owner's written approval, if such settlement would
result in any cost to Owner, not otherwise payable out of Gross Proceeds;
(xvii) Shall advertise and promote the business of the Project (and
shall institute and supervise a leasing and marketing program); provided,
however, that, prior to March 1, 2001, unless otherwise provided for by the
Owner, the Managing Agent shall not, without the Owner's approval, expend, or
commit to expend for such activities more than the amount approved in the Plan
therefor;
(xviii) Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Space Leases
and any mortgage or agreement affecting the Project, if it deems such action
reasonable, contest in good faith any tax, assessment, levy, attachment, charge,
fee, Legal Requirement or lien relating to the Project which it believes to be
unjustified; provided, however, that such contest shall not (a) subject the
Project or any part thereof or any proceeds therefrom to the risk of sale or
forfeiture, (b) interfere with the use of occupancy of the Project or (c)
subject the Owner to the risk of any criminal or civil liability.
(xix) To the extent required to be obtained or maintained by the Owner
of the Project, obtain and maintain, on behalf of the Owner, all licenses,
permits and approvals necessary or desirable for the use, operation, maintenance
and management of the Project;
36
(xx) Keep the Owner informed of any significant change in the rules and
regulations relating to the use, operation and maintenance of the Project,
including any change in any Legal Requirements;
(xxi) Collect all security deposits entitled to be received by the
Landlord under the Space Leases and shall promptly deposit the same in the Bank
Account or such other account as may be required by the Space Leases and shall
maintain said accounts pursuant to local law;
(xxii) Promptly after receipt thereof, deliver to the Owner a copy of
any notice or other communication received by the Managing Agent from any public
official or agency, or any Tenant under any of the Space Leases relating to any
matter that would constitute (with or without the giving of notice or the
passage of time, or both) a default under any Space Lease or any mortgage or
other agreement affecting the Project;
(xxiii) Within forty-five (45) days following the Commencement Date of
this Agreement and annually thereafter, prepare, a Leasing and Operating Plan
(the "PLAN") for the Project covering the period from the Commencement Date
through the Expiration Date of the first fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, which Plan shall be prepared in a manner which will enable the
Project to be operated by the Managing Agent as a first-class commercial
property, with such expenditure to be payable out of anticipated Gross Proceeds.
Such Plan through March 1, 2001, will be in effect only upon Owner's written
approval; and
(xxiv) Use good faith efforts to comply with the terms and provisions
of the loan documents to which Owner is the borrower, and Resources Accrued
Mortgage Investors, 2 L.P. is the lender (the "Loan Documents") (except to the
extent such provisions of the Loan Documents are not susceptible to performance
by a person other than Owner itself).
5. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY. In the event all or any portion of the
Project (i) is damaged as a result of fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY") or
(ii) taken or condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory
acquisition or like proceeding by any competent authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose (a "CONDEMNATION"), the Managing Agent shall give
the Owner prompt written notice thereof. The Owner, or the Managing Agent shall
not have any obligation to restore, repair, rebuild, alter, replace, or modify
the Project or any part thereof affected by a Casualty or Condemnation.
6. FISCAL MATTERS.
(a) The Managing Agent shall provide for appropriate
accounting and cost control systems and personnel to be maintained at the
Managing Agent's general offices to allow Managing Agent to maintain the books
of account of the Project and to prepare and transmit the statements and reports
required pursuant to this Section and the other reports, etc., as reasonably
requested by Owner. In addition, the Managing Agent shall cause, if
37
required by law, such personnel to prepare and file all necessary reports with
respect to withholding taxes, social security taxes, unemployment insurance,
disability insurance, the Fair Labor Standards Acts and all other applicable
laws and regulations and all other statements and reports pertaining to labor
employed on the Managing Agent's payroll in or about the Project. The Managing
Agent shall also cause such personnel to prepare and file all necessary reports
and returns with respect to sales taxes, use taxes, personal property taxes and
all other taxes relating to the Project. The Managing Agent shall establish and
supervise all bookkeeping and clerical services in connection with the operation
of the Project. The Managing Agent shall be solely responsible and liable for,
and shall bear and timely pay, all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with this SECTION 6(A), and commencing on and after March 1, 2001 shall be
reimbursed, from Gross Proceeds for such reasonable costs and expenses. The
Owner, and its independent accounting firm shall have the right and privilege of

any future amendment of or change in Note or any of the Loan Documents or any
agreement or instrument to which the Borrower and/or Guarantor are or may be a
party (including without limitation this Guaranty);

inconsistent with the waivers in the immediately preceding sentences shall be
void and may be ignored by the Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or

notice to the Lender or at any other address that may be specified in writing

right or remedy which it may have against any property, real or personal, as a
result of any lien or security interest it may have to secure all or any portion
of the Guarantied Indebtedness, including but not limited to the real and
personal property covered by the Loan Documents, it being agreed that in no
event shall the Lender have any obligation to (but may at its option) proceed
against the Borrower or any other person or entity or any such real or personal
property before seeking satisfaction from Guarantor under this Guaranty.
1.7. Additional Waivers. In addition to the waivers contained in
paragraph 1.4 above, Guarantor waives, and agrees that he will not at any time
insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension,
marshalling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption,
whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or
otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of his obligations under, or the
enforcement by the Lender of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or protest or of acceptance,

Indebtedness, acceptance of further security, release of security, composition
or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guarantied
Indebtedness, notice of adverse change in the Borrower's financial condition and
any other fact which might materially increase the risk to Guarantor), with
respect to any of the Guarantied Indebtedness, and all other demands whatsoever,

with the terms of this Guaranty, except to the extent that this Guaranty may
otherwise specify the giving of notice. Guarantor represents and warrants and
agrees that, as of the date of this Guaranty, his obligations under this
Guaranty are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the
Lender of any kind. Guarantor further agrees that his obligations under this
Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defense against
the Lender or against the Borrower of any kind which may arise in the future,
other than the defense that Guarantor has satisfied his obligations hereunder in
full.
1.8. Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the
benefit of the Lender and nothing herein contained shall impair as between the
Borrower and the Lender the obligations of the Borrower under the Note and the
other Loan Documents, or under any other agreements, documents, instruments or
certificates which may be delivered under or pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents or in connection with the Loan.
1.9. Modification of Loan, Etc. At any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring any liability
to Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor
under this Guaranty, the Lender may:
50
(a) Change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of or renew
or alter all or any portion of the Loan, other than the manner, place and terms
of payment of the Guarantied Indebtedness;
(b) Take any action under or in respect of the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained
therein or available to the Lender at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or
refrain from exercising any such remedies, powers or privileges;
(c) Amend or modify in any respect the Note, the Modification Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, but the Lender may not amend or modify the manner,
place and terms of payment of the Guarantied Indebtedness;
(d) Extend or waive the time for the Borrower's or any other person's
or party's performance of or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on
its part to be performed or observed under the Note, the Modification Agreement
or other Loan Documents, or waive such performance or compliance or consent to a
failure of or departure from such performance or compliance, but the Lender may
not extend or waive the manner, place and terms of payment of the Guarantied
Indebtedness;
(e) Sell, exchange, release, dispose of or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Lender has been granted
a lien or security interest, to secure any indebtedness of the Borrower to the

owing by the Borrower to the Lender in such manner as the Lender shall determine
in its sole discretion.
1.10. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as at any time amended (or
under any substitute or successor legislation relating to the same general
subject matter), for liquidation or reorganization, should the Borrower become
insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower's assets,
and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment of the Guarantied Indebtedness, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Lender whether as a "preferential transfer",
"voidable preference", fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise, all as though such
reduction, repayment or restoration by the Lender had not been made.
1.11. Subrogation. So long as any Indebtedness to Lender remains
unpaid, Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent possible, as against the
Borrower and its assets
51
any and all rights, whether at law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise, to
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement, contribution, or any other similar claim,
cause of action or remedy that otherwise would arise out of Guarantor's
performance of his obligations to the Lender under this Guaranty. The preceding
waiver is intended by Guarantor and the Lender to be for the benefit of the
Borrower, and the waiver shall be enforceable by the Borrower or any of its
successors or assigns as an absolute defense to any action by Guarantor against
the Borrower or its assets which arises out of Guarantor having made any payment
to the Lender with respect to any of the liabilities guarantied hereunder.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Full reliance by the Lender upon the
following representations and warranties is acknowledged:
2.1. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor represents
and warrants to the Lender as follows:
(a) To the best of Guarantor's knowledge, the Borrower is a limited
partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified to do business and in good
standing as a foreign limited partnership in the State of Nevada.
(b) Guarantor has full power, authority and legal right to enter into
this Guaranty and to perform his obligations under the terms hereof.
(c) Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty. This
Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor,
enforceable against him in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, except as
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, general principles of equity or other laws of

(d) No authorization, consent, approval, exemption, permit or license
of, or filing with, any governmental or public body or authority is required to
authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the valid execution or
delivery by Guarantor of this Guaranty, or the performance of Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, except such as have been obtained and are in full force
and effect. All conditions required to the execution and delivery hereof and
performance hereunder have been satisfied on or before the date hereof.
(e) Guarantor is not a party to, or otherwise bound by or subject to,
any agreement or instrument, the observance of the terms and provisions of which
would materially impair Guarantor's ability to perform his obligations under,
and to be bound by, this Guaranty. Neither the execution and delivery by
Guarantor of this Guaranty, nor compliance by Guarantor with the terms and
provisions of this Guaranty, will conflict with, constitute a default under, or
result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, any law or
decree or any regulation, order, writ, injunction, determination or award of any
court, arbitrator or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency
or instrumentality (domestic or foreign), or any agreement or instrument to
which Guarantor is a party or by which he or any of his properties may be
affected.
52
(f) Guarantor has a personal net worth (exclusive of spouse) in excess
of Two Million Dollars as determined by sound accounting principles,
consistently applied.
(g) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or
to the best knowledge of Guarantor threatened, against or affecting Guarantor at
law, in equity, in admiralty or before any arbitrator of any kind or before any
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality
(domestic or foreign) which, in the opinion of Guarantor, is likely to result in
any material adverse change in the property or assets, or in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of Guarantor, or materially impair his ability to
perform his obligations under this Guaranty.
3. CONTINUING GUARANTY. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of
the Guarantied Indebtedness, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2 herein..
4. NO ASSIGNMENT BY LENDER. The Lender shall not assign its rights nor
delegate its duties under this Guaranty.
5. FURTHER ASSURANCE. Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the
Lender, to execute and deliver to the Lender from time to time any additional
instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Lender or its
counsel to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in
accordance with its terms.
6. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations and
warranties of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty shall survive for so long as
all or any portion of the Guarantied Indebtedness remains unpaid, or until this
Guaranty is no longer in effect.
7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: AMENDMENT. This Guaranty together with the
Modification Agreement (and the documents to be delivered in conjunction
therewith) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such
subject matter (including but not by way of limitation, any commitment,
modification or term letter which the Lender may have given to the Borrower or
Guarantor) and cannot be amended or supplemented as to Guarantor, except by a
written agreement signed by Guarantor and the Lender.
8. HEADINGS. The headings in this Guaranty are for convenience only and are
not part of the substance of this Guaranty.
9. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more the provisions contained
in this Guaranty shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any
such provision or provisions in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions of this Guaranty shall not be in any way impaired.
10. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts which
together shall constitute the same instrument.
53

pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and all out-of-pocket
costs and disbursements) which may be reasonably incurred by the prevailing
party in the event of the initiation of any suit under or in connection with
this Guaranty.
15. ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL. In the event any other guarantor shall furnish a
letter of credit or other collateral to the Lender as additional collateral for
the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, whether heretofore or hereafter,
such additional collateral shall not diminish or modify Guarantor's liability to
the Lender hereunder unless the Lender shall otherwise specifically agree in
writing.

this Guaranty has been executed and delivered, in the State of New York, and it
is the intention of the parties that this Guaranty be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of such State.

MUTUAL RELEASE
THIS MUTUAL RELEASE (the "Agreement") is entered into effective the 21st
day of December, 2000 between HIGH CASH PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Borrower") and RESOURCES ACCRUED MORTGAGE INVESTORS 2 L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Lender"). Unless otherwise defined in this
Agreement, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Modification Agreement dated
as of the date hereof between the Borrower and the Lender (the "Modification
Agreement").
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Borrower is the owner of the Property described in the
Modification Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Lender is the holder of the Loan Documents described in the
Modification Agreement evidencing and securing the payment by the Borrower of
certain Indebtedness owing to the Lender;
WHEREAS, the Maturity Date of the Loan is February 28, 2001, and
Borrower has requested Lender, and Lender has agreed, to forbear in the exercise
of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents in the event the Loan is not
satisfied in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Modification Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to provide for the release of each other from
any further performance, obligations or claims under the Loan Documents after a
Release Event.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein,
the benefits to be derived by the parties therefrom and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Release of Lender Parties. Effective on the Closing Date in accordance
with the provisions set forth in the Modification Agreement, the Borrower hereby
releases, acquits and forever discharges the Lender and its subsidiaries,
affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, directors, officers,
agents, employees, servants, attorneys and representatives, as well as the
respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of any and
all of them (hereafter collectively called the "Released Lender Parties") from
any and all loss, damages, claims, demands, debts, actions, causes of action,
suits, contracts, agreements, obligations, accounts, defenses, offsets against
the Indebtedness and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity,
which the Borrower ever had, now has, or might hereafter have against the
Released Lender Parties, jointly or severally, for or by reason of any matter,
cause or thing whatsoever occurring prior to the Closing Date, which relates to,
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly: (a) the Indebtedness; (b) the Loan
Documents; or (c) the Property. In addition, the Borrower agrees not to
commence, join in, prosecute or participate in any suit or other proceeding in a
position which is adverse to any of the Released Lender Parties arising directly
or indirectly from any of the foregoing matters.
58
2. Release of Borrower Parties. Effective on the Closing Date, the Lender
hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Borrower and the Borrower's
subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, members, managers, shareholders, directors,
officers, agents, employees, servants, attorneys and representatives, as well as
the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns or any
and all of them (hereafter collectively called the "Released Borrower Parties")
for principal or interest due under the Note, which release will be effective
provided Borrower does not become the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings on
or before one (1) year from the Closing Date, and has not, perpetrated any fraud
upon Lender. Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary, nothing contained
in this Agreement modifies or impairs the non-recourse provisions of the Loan
Documents, including without limitation, Section 4 of the Note, Section 64 of
the Deed of Trust and Section 13.15 of the Modification Agreement.
3. Reliance. The Borrower and the Lender represent and warrant to each
other that this Agreement is executed and delivered by each of them after advice
by legal counsel and is based on each party's respective independent analysis of
the facts and circumstances which currently exist with respect to the matters
covered by this Agreement. It is specifically acknowledged by the Borrower and
the Lender that such facts might hereafter prove to be different from the facts
which are now known or believed to exist. The Borrower and the Lender expressly
assume the risk that any state of facts affecting the Loan Documents, the
Borrower or the Lender might be different from those thought to exist by such
party or might hereafter change. The parties expressly agree that the terms of
this Agreement will be binding in all respects notwithstanding any such mistake
of existing facts or subsequent change of facts relating to the Loan Documents,
the Borrower or the Lender, and that this Agreement will not be subject to
termination or rescission for any reason whatsoever.
4. Conditions Subsequent. The release accorded to the Released Borrower
Parties by paragraph 2 of this Agreement will be void ab initio and will be of
no force or effect if any one or more of the events described in paragraphs 4.1
through 4.3 of this Agreement occurs. On the occurrence of such event, the
Lender will have the right to unilaterally reinstate the obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents and abrogate the release of the Released
Borrower Parties by service of written notice to the Borrower. On the exercise
of such right by the Lender, the Lender will be entitled to exercise all of the
Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity,
subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. The conditions subsequent are
as follows:
4.1 Litigation. The Borrower or any person claiming by or through the
Borrower ever commence, join in, assist, cooperate in or
participate as an adverse party or as an adverse witness (subject
to compulsory legal process which requires testimony) in any suit
or other proceeding against the Lender or any Released Lender
Party relating to the Indebtedness, the Loan Documents, the
Modification Agreement, the Property or the conveyance of the
Property by the Borrower to the Lender; or
4.2 Avoidance. Any Conveyance Document is ever rendered void or
rescinded by operation of law, or by order of any state or
federal court of competent jurisdiction by reason of an order
arising out of any claim or proceeding initiated or commenced in
favor of, against, on behalf of, or in concert with, directly or
indirectly, the Borrower or any person claiming by or through the
Borrower; or
59
4.3 No Release. The release of any Released Lender Party set forth in
paragraph 1 of this Agreement is ever rendered void, rescinded or
adjudicated unenforceable by operation of law or by order of any
state or federal court of competent jurisdiction, by reason of an
order arising out of any claim or proceeding initiated or
commenced in favor of, against, on behalf of, or in concert with,
directly or indirectly, the Borrower or any person claiming by or
through the Borrower.
5. No Merger. The parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the
release of the Released Borrower Parties contemplated by this Agreement, all of
the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect. The parties further
acknowledge and agree that the interests of the Lender in the Property created
by all of the Conveyance Documents will not merge with the interests of the
Lender in the Property created by the Loan Documents. It is the express
intention of each of the parties that such interests of the Lender in the
Property will not merge, but be and remain at all times separate and distinct,
notwithstanding any union of said interests in the Lender at any time by
purchase, termination or otherwise and that the liens held by the Lender against
the Property created by certain of the Loan Documents will remain at all times
valid and continuous liens against the Property. The Lender has specifically
reserved the right to assert all claims held by the Lender against the
collateral described in the Loan Documents from time to time after the Closing
Date subject, however, to the terms of the Modification Agreement and this
Agreement.
6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Modification Agreement (and the
documents to be delivered in conjunction therewith) constitutes the entire
agreement between the Borrower and the Lender and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
There are no agreements, understandings, restrictions, warranties or
representations relating to the subject matter of this Agreement other than
those set forth in this Agreement, the Modification Agreement or the documents
to be delivered by the parties on the date hereof. This instrument is not
intended to have any legal effect whatsoever, or to be a legally binding
agreement, or any evidence thereof, until this Agreement has been signed by and
an executed counterpart unconditionally delivered to both parties to this
Agreement.
7. Construction. This Agreement will be construed, enforced and governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. All pronouns and any
variations contained in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to the masculine,
feminine or neuter gender thereof or to the plurals of each, as the identity of
the person or persons or the context requires. The descriptive headings
contained in this Agreement are for ease in reference and are not intended to
describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this
Agreement or any provision contained herein.
8. Forum. All actions or proceedings with respect to this Agreement may be
instituted in any state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York,
and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties irrevocably and
unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction (both subject matter and personal) of
each such court and irrevocably and unconditionally waive: (a) any objection
that the parties might now or hereafter have to the venue of any of such courts;
and (b) any claim that any action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.
9. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement are for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or
60
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
will not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or
provisions had never been contained herein.
10.Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
11.Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which
together will constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
effective on the date first set forth above.
