     The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from

Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Borrower, as borrower,

          Both the principal hereof and the interest her on are payable in

benefit thereof.

          The personal obligation of the Borrower in respect of the Indebtedness
evidenced hereby is limited as set forth in SECTION 9.15 of the Agreement.





          In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding is brought by
the holder hereof to collect this Note, the Borrower shall be liable for all
court costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements.

          This Note is executed and delivered to the Agent pursuant to the
Agreement, and is entitled to the benefits of the Agreement, which, among other
things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the
happening of certain stated events.  All capitalized terms used in the Agreement
are used herein with the same meanings as are set forth in the Agreement.

          This Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made

conflict of laws rules.

          This Note, to the extent of $59,627,713, to the extent of the Durham

          No more than $19,000,000 of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby is
secured by the fee and leasehold estates of the Borrower or any other Person in

except by a writing duly executed by the holder hereof.
