2. THE LOAN
2.1. MAKING THE LOAN
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender
agrees to make a loan (the "LOAN") to the Borrower, which Loan shall be in a
principal amount of up to (1) Eleven Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($11,700,000.00) less (2) the amount by which the net proceeds of the
----
Senior Loan exceed Twenty-Seven Million and No/100 Dollars ($27,000,000.00) (the
"LOAN AMOUNT"). Therefore, if the net proceeds of the Senior Loan equal Thirty
Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00), the maximum Loan Amount would be
Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,700,000.00).
(b) On the Initial Closing Date, the Lender shall make an initial
advance of the Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of Ten Million and
No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00). No further advance of the Loan Amount will be
made until the Borrower has received the proceeds of the Senior Loan and applied
them to the repayment in full of the Borrower's existing mortgage indebtedness.
If the net proceeds of the Senior Loan exceed Twenty-Seven Million and No/100
Dollars ($27,000,000.00) (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT"), the maximum Loan Amount shall
be the amount calculated in accordance with SECTION 2.1(A), and the Borrower
shall repay to the Lender directly out of the proceeds of the Senior Loan, and
with such other cash as may be necessary for such purpose, (a) the amount by
which the Senior Loan proceeds exceed the Threshold Amount (of which up to One
Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,700,000.00) shall be
available for reborrowing in accordance with SECTION 2.2 hereof), together with
(b) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan as of the date of such
repayment. If the net proceeds of the Senior Loan are less than the Threshold
Amount, the Lender shall make an additional advance to the Borrower in a
principle amount that is equal to the difference between the Threshold Amount
and the net proceeds of the Senior Loan, provided, however, that in no event
-----------------
shall such additional advance cause the total outstanding principal balance of
the Loan to exceed (a) Eleven Million Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($11,700,000.00) less (b) any principal repayment thereof received by Lender as
----
part of the scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage
Note.
-4-
2.2. ADDITIONAL ADVANCES
After the Closing of the Senior Loan has occurred, and provided no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender agrees to
advance or re-advance to Borrower, at the Borrower's election, up to One Million
Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,700,000.00) (the "DEFERRABLE
AMOUNT") of the Loan Amount, in one or more future advances, which may be used
by Borrower to meet its future needs; provided, however, that no such advance of
-------- -------
the Loan shall cause the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at any time
to exceed (a) the maximum Loan Amount calculated in accordance with SECTION 2.1
hereof less (b) any principal repayment thereof received by Lender as part of
----
the scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Note. To
receive an advance of the unadvanced portion of all or any portion of the
Deferrable Amount at any time, the Borrower shall submit a written request to
the Lender specifying the amount requested to be advanced, which amount shall be
advanced, provided all the conditions to the making of an advance specified
herein are satisfied, on the next Business Day following such written request.
Other than the readvance under this SECTION 2.2 of a portion of the repayment of
principal contemplated by SECTION 2.1(B) hereof in connection with the making of
the Senior Loan, no amount of principal of the Loan that is repaid by the
Borrower to the Lender, whether by regularly scheduled payments, by prepayment
or otherwise, may be reborrowed.
2.3. MORTGAGE NOTE
The obligation of the Borrower to repay the full amount of the Loan
that has been advanced at any time, together with interest thereon, and other
charges and expenses, if any, related thereto, shall be evidenced by that
certain Mortgage Note made by the Borrower to the order of the Lender as of the
Closing Date (the "MORTGAGE NOTE"), substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A
---------
attached hereto and incorporated herein, in the face amount of Eleven Million
Seven Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($11,700,000.00).
2.4. USE OF LOAN PROCEEDS
The Borrower agrees that the proceeds of the Loan advanced on the
Initial Closing Date shall be used solely for the purpose of repaying the
existing mortgage indebtedness of the Borrower under the Toyo Loan. Advances of
the Loan pursuant to SECTION 2.2 may be used by the Borrower for any purpose.
2.5. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
All payments made on the Mortgage Note shall be made in the manner,
and subject to the conditions, provided in this Agreement and in the Mortgage
Note. All or any portion of the Mortgage Note may be prepaid at any time
without penalty or premium. To the extent not previously paid, the entire Debt
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Debt shall bear
interest as provided in the Mortgage Note and the other Loan Documents. Any
payments of interest which are due but not paid by reason of an insufficiency of
Available Cash Flow (as set forth in SECTION 7.1.1 hereof) shall be added to the
principal and shall accrue interest at the Base Rate. A failure to pay any
amounts hereunder which are not paid when due for any reason other than an
insufficiency of Available Cash Flow shall bear interest at the Default Interest
Rate beginning on the date such payment becomes past due.

restrictions agreed to by Lender under any subordination agreement signed by the
Lender in respect of the Toyo Loan or the Senior Loan, as applicable, shall not

thereof from the Lender, for a period of more than (i) ten (10) days with
respect to any failure or breach of covenant relating to the payment of taxes or

Borrower or the General Partner, or any substantial part of the property of
the Borrower or the General Partner, or for the winding up or liquidation
of the affairs of the Borrower or the General Partner,
-10-
shall have been entered, and such decree, judgment, or order shall have

7.2. REMEDIES
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender

any notice specifically required by SECTION 7.1 or the first paragraph of this
SECTION 7.2, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
7.2.2.
Pursue such rights and remedies against the Borrower, or otherwise, as
are provided under and pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the
other Loan Documents and as may be available to the Lender at law or in equity;
provided, however, that the Lender shall not be entitled to initiate foreclosure
-----------------
proceedings unless five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of such
intention is given to Borrower and the Manager.
7.2.3.
If the Event of Default involves the Borrower's failure to pay any

of the Collateral or to perform its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder,

Document, Senior Loan Document or Toyo Loan Document or in the Management
Agreement, the Lender may, at its option, without waiving or affecting any of
its other rights or remedies hereunder, and without any obligation to do so,
pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses
incurred by the Lender in connection therewith shall be repaid by Borrower to
the Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, together with
-11-
interest thereonat the Default Interest Rate, and shall be added to and become a
part of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage and the other Security
Documents.
7.2.4.
Appoint as a matter of right, without notice, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, a receiver for the Borrower or for all or any
part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed
sale of the Collateral or otherwise. All disbursements made by the receiver and
the expenses of receivership, shall be added to and be a part of the principal
amount of the obligations secured by the Security Documents, and, whether or not
said principal sum, including such disbursements and expenses, exceeds the
indebtedness originally intended to be secured thereby, the entire amount of
said sum, including such disbursements and expenses, shall bear interest at the
Default Interest Rate, shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall be
due and payable within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor.
7.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
Each of the rights, powers, and remedies provided herein and in the other
Loan Documents are intended and are hereby deemed to be cumulative, concurrent
and in addition to, and not in limitation of, those rights, powers, and remedies
provided elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No waiver of any
Default or Event of Default in one instance shall constitute a waiver of any
other or any succeeding Default or Event of Default, except to the extent
provided in such waiver.
7.4. DEFAULT INTEREST
In addition to the provisions of SECTION 2 and SECTION 7.2 hereof, if
Borrower shall fail for any reason (other that as described in the proviso in
SECTION 7.1.1 hereof) to make payment when and as due of any amounts due
hereunder (whether at the stated date for payment, or earlier upon an
acceleration hereunder), Borrower shall pay, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, interest to the Lender on such past due amounts beginning on the
date such payment becomes past due at a per annum rate of interest equal to the
Default Interest Rate.
7.5. DEFAULT INDEMNITY
Borrower hereby agrees to, and shall, indemnify and hold harmless the
Lender against the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which the Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder and in the
enforcement of the Lender's rights and remedies in connection therewith. Lender
shall provide to Borrower a satisfactory statement, signed by an officer of
Lender and supported, where applicable, by documentary evidence, explaining the
amount of all such costs or expenses. Any amounts that Borrower must pay to
Lender under this SECTION 7.5 shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days after
demand therefor accompanied by documentation sufficient to establish the amount
of Borrower's liability, and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate
and shall be added to and become a part of the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgage and other Security Documents.
8. THE SENIOR LOAN
8.1. PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES

granted to and the lien created by the Security Documents in favor of the
Lender.
8.2. EXECUTION OF SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
On or prior to date of the closing of the Senior Loan, the Lender
agrees to execute a subordination agreement in form and scope reasonably
acceptable to the Lender, which shall provide that the Lender's rights and
interests hereunder shall be subordinated to those granted to CII under the
Senior Loan Documents. In the event that any of the rights of the Lender
arising under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be
inconsistent with rights of CII under the Senior Loan Documents, the rights of
CII shall take priority over those of the Lender.
9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
9.1. EXPENSES
The Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for all expenses incurred by
the Lender in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
including without limitation, expenses incurred in the preparation,
consummation, negotiation, administration or enforcement of, or the preservation
or exercise of any rights hereunder or thereunder (including, without
limitation, the right to collect and dispose of the Collateral) and all
reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender's counsel arising in connection with
the Loan.
9.2. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in any of the Loan Documents,
it is hereby expressly agreed that, except as otherwise provided in this SECTION
9.2 or in any section of any Loan Document that is substantially similar to this
SECTION 9.2, there shall be no recourse to the assets of Borrower or any of its
partners (other than against the Collateral and any other property given as
security for the payment of the Mortgage Note) for (i) the payment of principal,
interest or other charges or amounts that are or may become due and owing to the
Lender by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or (ii) the
performance or discharge of any covenant or undertaking hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, and in the event of any Event of Default hereunder or
thereunder, the Lender agrees to proceed solely against the Collateral and any
other property given as security for payment of the Mortgage Note, and the
Lender shall not seek or claim recourse against Borrower or any of its partners
(other than against the Collateral and any other property given as security for
payment of the Mortgage Note) for any deficiency or for any personal judgment
after a foreclosure of the lien of the Mortgage or other Security Documents or
for the performance or discharge of any covenants or undertakings of Borrower
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except that Borrower may be
made a party to a proceeding to the extent legally necessary for the conduct of
a foreclosure or the exercise of other similar remedies under the Mortgage or
other Security Documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in
this SECTION 9.2 shall relieve Borrower or the General Partner of any personal
liability for any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability arising or resulting
from (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement
that was materially incorrect when made and that was made with fraudulent
intent, (B) any amount paid or distributed to the General Partner, the Limited
Partners, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them in violation of the
provisions of the Loan Documents, (C) fraud or breach of trust, including
misapplication of Loan proceeds or any Insurance Proceeds or Awards or other
sums that are part of the Collateral that may come into the possession or
control of Borrower or the General Partner or any affiliate of any of them, or
(D) liability of such Person under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement. It is
hereby expressly agreed that neither the General Partner nor any director,
officer, shareholder, partner or employee of Borrower or the General Partner,
nor the legal or personal representative, successor or assign of any of the
foregoing, nor any other principal of Borrower or the General Partner, whether
disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, except as personal liability may be
specifically imposed upon the General Partner in accordance
-13-
with clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this SECTION 9.2, and in no event shall
any Limited Partners have any liability whatsoever with respect to the Loan or
any monetary obligations with respect thereto, or any of the matters described
in clause (A), (B) (C) or (D) above. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that this SECTION 9.2 shall govern every other provision of the Loan Documents
and that the absence of explicit reference to this SECTION 9.2 in any provision
of the Loan Documents or the absence of any Section similar to this SECTION 9.2
in any Loan Document shall not be construed to deny the application of this
SECTION 9.2 to such provision, notwithstanding the presence of explicit
reference to this SECTION 9.2 in other provisions of the Loan Documents.
9.3. NOTICES
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties

Documents or performance of any transaction related thereto, at the time such
fulfillment or performance shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of
validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled or performed
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document operates or would operate
prospectively to invalidate any Loan Document, in whole or in part, then such
clause or provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein or
therein contained, and the remainder of the Loan Documents shall remain
operative and in full force and effect.
9.5. SURVIVAL

No waiver by the Lender of, or consent by the Lender to, a variation
from the requirements of any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective

duly authorized officer, and any such waiver shall be limited solely to those
rights or conditions expressly waived.
9.7. RIGHTS CUMULATIVE
The rights and remedies of the Lender described in any of the Loan
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which
the Lender otherwise would have at law or in equity or otherwise. No notice to

notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
9.8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
matters contemplated herein, supersede all prior oral and written agreements
with respect to the matters contemplated herein, and may not be modified,
deleted or amended except by written instrument executed by the parties. All
terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon,
and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may
not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Lender.

payable and performance of all other obligations owed by Borrower to the Lender
under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents.
9.10. CONSTRUCTION
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland (excluding the choice of law rules thereof). Each party hereto hereby
acknowledges that all
-15-
parties hereto participated equally in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement and that, accordingly, no court construing this Agreement shall
construe it more stringently against one party than against the other.
9.11. PRONOUNS
All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to
the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the
person or entity may require.
9.12. HEADINGS

inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of
this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the
meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.
9.13. BUSINESS DAYS
If any payment or performance of any of the obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day other than a
Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and interest thereon (if applicable) shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension.
9.14. EXECUTION
To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required; and it
shall not be necessary that the signatures of, or on behalf of, each party, or
the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each
counterpart; but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of,
each party, or the signatures of the persons required to bind any party, appear
on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively
constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to produce or account for any particular
