REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE
("Note")
US $2,000,000 October 14, 1993
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ON DEMAND, the undersigned, Balcor Realty Investors - 84,
an Illinois limited partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Borrower"), hereby
promises to pay to the order of THE BALCOR COMPANY, a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Lender"), with its principal office at 0000 Xxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the holder hereof may
from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal sum of Two million and no/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000) or
such lesser amount as may have been disbursed hereunder, together with interest
on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding, at the
rates provided for in Section 1 below. The entire principal sum hereof,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable
on demand ("Maturity Date").
1. Interest, Interest Rate and Time of Interest Payments.
(a) "Base Rate" shall mean Lender's average cost of funding as determined by
Lender on a daily basis in any manner deemed reasonable by Lender and which, at
a maximum, shall be a rate per annum as determined on a daily basis and as
designated by Lender which does not exceed the maximum limit permitted to be
charged by "Affiliates", as such term is defined in, and as permitted pursuant
to, the Borrower's Partnership Agreement in effect prior to the Maturity Date.
The rate of interest which accrues hereon shall change from time to time
concurrently with Xxxxxx's average cost of funding as determined daily by
Lender.
(b) "Disbursement Date" shall mean the date on which the initial disbursement
of funds pursuant to this Note occurs.
(c) "Senior Note" shall mean a promissory note or notes secured by a mortgage
or mortgages which is or are senior to this Note and any mortgage or mortgages
securing this Note.
(d) "Senior Mortgage" shall mean a mortgage securing a Senior Note.
(e) The stated interest rate ("Stated Rate") she be equal to the Base Rate.
(f) The amount of monthly interest to be paid each month prior to the
occurrence of any "Event of Default" (as defined in the "Agreement", which is
hereinafter defined) shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount
of interest computed at the Base Rate on the amount outstanding under this Note
or (2) the amount of Cash Flow (as hereinafter defined) for the preceding
calendar month. The amount of such monthly interest shall be referred to as the
"Monthly Interest."
(g) Monthly Interest shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day of each
month, commencing with the first month following the Disbursement Date.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, but shall be
computed for the actual number of days in the period for which interest is
charged.
(h) Each month, the difference between the amount of interest at the Stated
Rate and the paid Monthly Interest shall accrue ("Accrued Interest") and become
due and payable on the Maturity Date. However, if the Cash Flow during any
calendar month is in excess of the amount necessary to pay Monthly Interest for
that month then such excess shall be applied first towards Accrued Interest and
then to principal.
(i) Upon a sale of or refinancing of any real estate owned by the Borrower
(each a "Borrower Property" and collectively, the "Borrower Properties") or by
any partnership in which the Borrower has an equity interest (each a
"Subpartnership" and collectively the "Subpartnerships") of any real estate
which is owned by such Subpartnership (each a "Subpartnership Property" and
collectively the "Subpartnership Properties"), whether or not such real estate
is subject to any mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt which secures
this Note, the refinancing of any Superior Note or the refinancing of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note, the "Net Proceeds" from such sale or
refinancing shall be applied first to Accrued Interest, then to current
interest and then to principal. "Net Proceeds" shall mean the gross proceeds
from the sale or refinancing of a Borrower Property or a Subpartnership
Property minus payment of the indebtedness of a Senior Note, reasonable
brokerage commissions, points and/or fees paid in the case of a refinancing,
title insurance premiums attorneys' fees and costs and normal closing costs and
recording fees.
j) Cash Flow for the Borrower shall mean the sum of:
i. the "Gross Income" for all Partnership Properties less the "Operating
Expenses" for all Partnership Properties in a calendar month; plus
ii. with respect to each Subpartnership, provided the Gross Income for the
calendar month from the Subpartnership Property owned by such Subpartnership is
greater than Operating Expenses for such calendar month for such Subpartnership
Property, the Gross Income for such Subpartnership Property for such calendar
month minus the Operating expenses for such Subpartnership Property for such
calendar month.
Gross Income shall mean all of the income derived from each such Borrower
Property or Subpartnership Property and/or the operation thereof, including but
not limited to, non-refundable security deposits, income from concessionaires
and laundry equipment placed in and about each such Borrower Property or
Subpartnership Property. Operating Expenses for a Borrower Property or
Subpartnership Property shall mean the amount necessary to pay all sums due on
a Senior Note and a Senior Mortgage which is a lien on such Borrower
Property or Subpartnership Property, plus all reasonable operating expenses of
such Borrower Property or Subpartnership Property. For purposes of determining
Operating Expenses for each Borrower Property or Subpartnership Property, such
expenses shall be those which are incurred at market rates, allocable to the
period in question (whether paid or payable), including management fees
(calculated at the lesser of the amount actually paid or 5% of gross rentals),
and equal monthly amounts for insurance, real estate and personal property
taxes or escrow deposits. All of such Operating Expenses shall be determined
under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. Cash Flow
for any calendar month shall be reduced by all contributions and advances made
by the Borrower to each Subpartnership whose Subpartnership Property had
Operating Expenses in excess of Gross Income in such calendar month, provided
such contributions or advances shall have been made with the consent of The
Balcor Company (and consent for any month shall not imply or require that The
Balcor Company shall consent for a subsequent month) and provided the funds for
such contribution or advance resulted from operations of Partnership Properties
or Subpartnership Properties and were not the result of draws under this Note.
(k) In no event shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid hereunder exceed the
highest lawful rate permissible under applicable law; and if under any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the
limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ipso facto, the obligation
to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any
circumstance the holder of this Note should receive as interest an amount which
would exceed the highest lawful rate allowable under law, such amount which
would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid
principal balance due under this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if
such excess interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal, the excess shall
be refunded to Borrower.
2. Issued Under Master Loan and Security Agreement.
Advances under this Note evidence indebtedness incurred upon oral or written
request of the Borrower pursuant to a certain Master Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Borrower and the Lender dated as of
October 14, 1993, and made a part of this Note, as the same may be amended from
time to time.
3. Demand Nature of Note.

upon issuance, and the Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the
Lender, at any time, without notice, and without reason may demand that this
Note be immediately paid in full. The demand nature of this Note shall not be
deemed modified by reference herein to a default or Event of Default. The
Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of this Note, to
the extent there is reference to an Event of Default, such reference is for the
purpose of permitting the Lender to receive "Default Interest" (as hereinafter
defined) and to terminate the right of Borrower to limit its interest payments
to Cash Flow. It is expressly agreed that Lender may exercise its demand rights
hereunder whether or not an Event of Default has occurred. The Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees that the Lender, with or without reason and without
notice, may from time to time make demand for partial payments hereunder and
that such demands shall not preclude the Lender from demanding at any time that
this Note be immediately paid in full.
4. Acceleration and Attorneys' Fees.
If any installment under this Note is not paid when due, the entire principal
amount outstanding hereunder and accrued interest thereon and the Accrued
Interest shall at once become due and payable, at the option of the Lender. The
Lender may exercise this option to accelerate during any default by the
Borrower regardless of any prior forbearance. In the event of any default in
the payment of this Note, and if the same is referred to an attorney at law for
collection or any action at law or in equity is brought with respect hereto,
the Borrower shall pay the Lender all expenses and costs, including, but not
limited to, attorneys' fees.
5. Late Charges and Default Interest.
If any installment under this Note is not received by the Lender within ten
(10) calendar days after the installment is due, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender a late charge of four percent (4%) of such installment, such late charge
to be immediately due and payable without demand by the Lender. If any
installment under this Note remains past due for ten (10) calendar days or
more, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
"Default Interest") during the period in which the Borrower is in default at a
rate of four percent (4%) per annum in excess of the Base Rate, or, if such
Default Interest may not be collected from the Borrower under applicable law,
then at the maximum increased rate of interest, if any, which may be collected
from the Borrower under applicable law.
6. Prepayments.
The unpaid principal and Accrued Interest of this Note may be prepaid in whole
or in part without premium or penalty. Prepayments shall be applied against the
outstanding principal balance of this Note and shall not extend or postpone the
due date of any subsequent monthly installments or change the amount of such
installments, unless the Lender shall agree otherwise in writing.
7. Modifications.
From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the Borrower or its
successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note and
observe the covenants of the Borrower contained herein, without affecting the
guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment of
the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of the Borrower, the successors or assigns of the
Borrower or guarantors, and without liability on the part of the Lender, the

principal balance or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release
anyone liable on any of said outstanding principal balance, accept a renewal of
this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal
balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security
