      4.01  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default exists under
the Note or Mortgage, Lender agrees upon the request of Borrower to release
the lien of the Loan Documents from any property which comprises a portion of

            A.    Borrower shall prepay to Lender 125% of the principal

      accordingly.

            B.    So long as no Event of Default exists under the Note or the
      Mortgage, upon receipt by Lender of monthly installments of principal,

      percentages contained on Exhibit B, exclusive of the allocation to the
      property being released as a result of such prepayment, as the same may
      be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03
      above.  Upon the written request of Borrower from time to time, Lender
      shall confirm the allocated Loan amount of each property.

                 CONDITIONAL RECOURSE; KMART LEASE GUARANTIES
              --------------------------------------------------

      5.01. The obligations of each Lessee of portions of the Premises
described as Store Numbers 84 (OfficeMax, Dallas, Texas), 99 (OfficeMax,
Cincinnati, Ohio). 126 (Borders, Wilmington, Delaware) and 134 (Borders,
Richmond, Virginia) are guaranteed by Kmart Corporation ("Kmart"), each
pursuant to the terms of a written Lease Guaranty (each a "Kmart Guaranty" and
collectively, the "Kmart Guaranties").

      5.02  Lender required as a condition of funding the Loan that Borrower
provide to Lender the written affirmation of Kmart s obligations pursuant to
the Kmart Guaranties.  Borrower has of yet been unable to obtain the written
affirmation of Kmart.

      5.03  Notwithstanding any exculpation of Borrower contained herein or in
any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, until such time as Borrower
provides a written affirmation of Kmart reasonably acceptable to Lender with
respect to any of the Kmart Guaranties, at any time following an Event of
Default by the Lessee under any of the leases which is the subject of any
Kmart Guaranty, Kmart denies liability under such Kmart Guaranty on account of
the lack of due execution or delivery thereof, or on account of the release of
Kmart thereunder for any reason whatsoever other than strictly in accordance
with the terms thereof, Borrower, but not its shareholders, officers,
directors, employees or agents, shall be personally liable to Lender for 125%
of the amount set forth on Exhibit B which is allocated to the respective
portion of the Premises which is the subject of such Kmart Guaranty, plus the
Make Whole Premium calculated on such amount had such amount been prepaid as
of the date of the Event of Default.  Borrower s liability hereunder shall
continue notwithstanding any action or inaction by Borrower or the Lessee
under the respective lease, whether or not Lender is deemed secure from other
sources, and whether or not Borrower or Lender chooses to pursue any remedies
against the respective Lessee for its default.  The provisions of this Article
5 shall terminate as to each particular portion of the Premises subject hereto
upon Lender s receipt of the aforesaid satisfactory evidence of the
affirmation of the applicable Kmart Guaranty.

Orlando, Florida) is occupied by Sears, Roebuck & Co. ("Sears") pursuant to
the terms of a written lease dated December 10, 1990 (the "Sears Lease").
Lender required as a condition of funding the Loan that Borrower provide to
Lender a written ratification of the Sears Lease by Sears.  Borrower has of
yet been unable to obtain such a written ratification.

      6.02  Notwithstanding any exculpation of Borrower contained herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, until such time as Borrower
provides Lender with a written ratification of the Sears Lease by Sears
reasonably acceptable to Lender, in the event Sears denies liability under the
Sears Lease on account of lack of due execution by the Landlord thereunder,
Borrower, but not its shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents,
shall be personally liable to Lender for 125% of the amount set forth on
Exhibit B which is allocated to Store Number 40, as such amount may be
modified from time to time,  plus the Make Whole Premium calculated on such
amount had such amount been prepaid as of the date Sears claims that the Sears
Lease is unenforceable on account of lack of due execution by the Landlord
thereunder.

      7.01  Lender acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, a
portion of the roof of Store Number 126 (Borders, Wilmington, Delaware) was
damaged as a result of excessive snow and ice build-up on the roof of the
building.  A portion of the roof over the rear of the building partially
collapsed.  The store is temporarily closed pending reconstruction by Border s

remains obligated to pay rent during any period of reconstruction in
accordance with the terms of the Borders Lease.

      7.02  Notwithstanding the casualty damage to such portion of the
Premises (the "Delaware Site"), Lender is willing to fund the Loan and include
the Delaware Site as security therefor, provided that Borrower also grant to
Lender as additional security for the Loan, a Deed of Trust  or other security
interest in Store Number 106 (Barnes & Noble, Denver, Colorado) (the "Colorado
Site").

      7.03  Upon the written request of Borrower, provided Borrower is not
then in default under any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents, Lender agrees to release the lien of the Loan Documents from
the Colorado Site upon the receipt of Lender of the following:

            A.    The written certification of an architect reasonably
      acceptable to Lender licensed in the State of Delaware that the
      improvements on the Delaware Site have been reconstructed substantially
      in compliance with the plans and specifications therefor.

            B.    A certificate of occupancy or other similar permit issued by
      each governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Delaware Site
      from which such a certificate is required for the operation by Borders
      of its store thereon.

      same form as was delivered to Lender in connection with the funding of
      the Loan, confirming that:

                  1.    its store operated pursuant to the Borders' Lease is
                        open for business with the public;

                  2.    the reconstruction of the Store has been completed to
                        Borders' satisfaction; and

                  3.    the Borders  Lease remains in full force and effect,
                        without any amendment or modification and with no
                        default thereunder by Borders or Borrower.

            D.    Evidence that the cost of reconstruction of its store has
      been fully paid for in the form of either (i) an estoppel letter from
      Borders, (ii) title insurance against potential liens for any
      reconstruction related work, or (iii) a cash escrow or other reasonable
      assurance against mechanics liens reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

            E.    An endorsement to Lender s title insurance policy updating
      the mechanic's lien coverage on the Delaware Site to include the date of
      the release of lien on the Colorado Site.

            F.    A site inspection report of the Delaware Site and its
      improvements satisfactory to Lender made by any employee or employees of
      Lender, independent contractor or contractors, or any combination
      thereof confirming any or all of the foregoing.

            G.    Payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
      Lender in connection with any of the foregoing, as well as an
      administrative release fee equal to $2,500.00.

            H.    Such other items as Lender may reasonably request.

            services;

      (G)   any security deposits of tenants not turned over to Lender upon

            content;

      (H)   misapplication or misappropriation of tax reserve accounts, tenant

            other than as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; 

      (K)   any breach or violation of paragraph 1(l) (due on sale or

            or impairment of any material economic interest in the Premises;
            and

      (L)   any fraud or willful misrepresentation by Borrower regarding the
            Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or
            in any materials or information provided by Borrower  in

      is allocated to the respective portion of the Premises (the "Applicable
      Portion of the Premises"), plus the Make Whole Premium calculated on
      such amount had such amount been prepaid as of the date of the
      occurrence set forth below:

      (a)   in the event of any amendment, modification or termination by
            Borrower of the particular Lease (as defined in the Mortgage, Deed
            to Secure Debt or Deed of Trust with respect to the Applicable
            Portion of the Premises) for the Applicable Portion of the
            Premises without the prior written consent of Lender;

      (b)   in the event the Lessee (as defined in the Mortgage, Deed to
            Secure Debt or Deed of Trust with respect to the Applicable
            Portion of the Premises) under the particular Lease for the
            Applicable Portion of the Premises is not obligated to notify
            Lender of a default by Borrower and Borrower defaults under said
            Lease and Lender does not receive notice of said default following
            the occurrence thereof within a reasonable period of time to
            effect cure of said default; or

      (c)   in the event Borrower violates any exclusive use or non-compete
            provision granted to the Lessee under the particular Lease for the
            Applicable Portion of the Premises.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Loan Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
