NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the sum of Ten and
No/lOOths Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties
hereto, and in further consideration of the agreements, covenants and
stipulations hereinafter set forth, the parties for themselves and for their
respective successors and assigns, do hereby agree and covenant as follows:

1.   The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth
     fully herein. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement
     shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Mortgage.

2.   The said Mortgage is amended to provide that the principal amount of the
     obligation of Maker to Holder secured by the Mortgage and evidenced by the
     Mortgage Note, as amended by the Modification to Note, shall equal the
     Outstanding Principal Balance.

3.   The Permanent Rate is hereby amended to be Seven and Seven Eighths Percent
     (7.875%) per annum (hereinafter referred to as the "Reduced Rate")
     effective as of February 1, 1995.

4.   Maker and Holder agree to amortize the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
     Mortgage Loan over the Remaining Term with interest payable monthly at the
     Reduced Rate.

5.   The obligation of Maker under the Mortgage Note to make monthly payments of
     principal and/or interest is hereby amended by (a) deleting the indented
     paragraph on page one of the Mortgage Note and (b) inserting in lieu
     thereof the following:

          Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Note from
          the date hereof at the rate of Eight and One Half per centum (8.50%)
          per annum up to and including January 31, 1995 and thereafter interest
          shall bc payable at the Reduced Rate as follows: Interest only at the
          existing Permanent Rate shall be payable on February 1, 1995.
          Thereafter and commencing on the first day of March 1995, monthly
          installments of interest and principal shall be paid in the sum of
          $90,451.24 each, such payments to continue monthly thereafter on the
          first day of each succeeding month until the entire indebtedness has
          been paid. In any event, the balance of principal (if any) remaining
          unpaid, plus accrued interest, shall be due and payable on May 1,
          2032. The installments of interest and principal shall be applied
          first to interest at the rate of 7.875% per annum upon the principal
          sum or so much thereof as shall from time to time remain unpaid, and
          the balance thereof shall be applied on account of principal. In the
          event any installment, or part of any installment due under this
          Mortgage Note becomes delinquent for more than fifteen (15) days,
          there shall bc due, in addition to other sums then due


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modification to Mortgage Note: Highland Oaks

          hereunder, a sum equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of principal
          and interest so delinquent. Whenever, under the laws of the
          jurisdiction where the property is located, the amount of a "late
          charge" is considered to be additional interest, this provision shall
          not be used if the rate of interest specified in the Mortgage Note,
          together with the amount of the "late charge," would aggregate an
          amount in excess of the maximum rate of the interest permitted and
          would constitute usury.

6.   Paragraphs 5a and 5b of Rider 1 to the Mortgage Note are amended by
     deleting Paragraphs 5a and 5b and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

          a. PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Except as provided in Paragraphs 3 and 4 above,
          the Note may be prepaid in whole at any time provided all of the
          requirements and conditions of this Paragraph 5 are complied with and
          said prepayment is accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to one
          percent of the outstanding loan balance.

          b. APPLICABILITY. The provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall apply to
          any prepayment irrespective of whether said prepayment is voluntary or
          involuntary, including any prepayment occurring due to an acceleration
          of the debt by the Holder as a result of any default by the Borrower
          or in the event the debt is satisfied or released by foreclosure
          (whether by power of sale or by judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of
          foreclosure, or by any other means. The restrictions on prepayment
          contained in this Paragraph 5 shall not be waived, modified, altered,
          amended or deleted without the written consent of the Holder.

7.   Maker acknowledges and affirms to Holder that, as of the date of this
     Modification to Note, there are no defenses, set-offs or counter-claims,
     whether legal or equitable, to Maker's obligations under the Mortgage Note,
     and Maker hereby waives the right to raise or assert any such defenses,
     set-offs or counter-claims which Maker may have had with respect to any
     suit, proceeding or foreclosure action under the Mortgage Note that the
     Holder may or could have brought against Maker prior to the date hereof.

8.   Maker and Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Modification
     to Note are subject to the approval thereof by the Commissioner, which
     approval shall be evidenced by the written consent of the Commissioner
     affixed to this Modification to Note where indicated below. Maker and
     Holder further acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Modification to
     Note and the transaction evidenced by this Modification to Note shall not
     be deemed effective unless and until the Commissioner executes the consent
     as aforesaid.

9.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Modification to Note to the contrary,
     Maker and Holder hereby acknowledge and agree that the Commissioner and the
     Holder retain all rights and remedies arising under the Contract of
     Coinsurance under Section 244 and pursuant to Section 221(d)(4) of the
     National Housing Act, as amended, and all regulations and administrative
     guidelines promulgated by the Commissioner thereunder.

10.  From and after the date hereof, the Mortgage Note and this Modification to
     Note shall be taken and read together as one, single and continuing
     instrument evidencing a single debt owed by the Maker to the Holder in the
     amount set forth hereinabove, as may be unpaid from time to time. Nothing
     contained herein shall be taken or construed to create a novation or new
     agreement by and between Maker and Holder; it being the intention of the
     parties solely (a) to reduce the per annum rate of interest applicable to
     the Mortgage Loan (b) to revise the amount of monthly installments of
     principal and interest payable thereunder as a result of such reduction in
     interest rate so as to reamortize in full the Mortgage Loan over the
     remaining term thereof, and (c) to revise certain other provision of the
     Mortgage Note, as reflected by this Modification to Note, and for no other
     purpose. Furthermore, nothing herein contained shall in any way impair the
     Mortgage Note or the security now held for such indebtedness, or alter,
     waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant herein
     except as herein provided, nor impair any rights, powers or remedies of
     Holder under the Mortgage Note, it being the intent of the parties that the
     terms and provisions of the Mortgage Note shall continue in full force and
     effect as modified hereby.

11.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if any one or more of the
     provisions of this Modification to Note shall for any reason whatsoever be
     held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect, such
     illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other
     provision of this Modification to Note, but this Modification to Note shall
     be construed as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had
     never been contained herein.

12.  Maker and Holder agree to execute such other documents as may be necessary
     to implement the terms and provisions of this Modification to Note, and the
     transaction evidenced thereby, including but not limited to that certain
     Modification of Mortgage (the "Modification Agreement") of even date
     herewith by and between Maker and Holder.

13.  From and after the date hereof, all references contained in the Mortgage
     Note to the Mortgage shall hereafter be deemed to refer to and include the
     Mortgage, as amended by the Modification Agreement.

14.  The Mortgage Note, as amended by this Modification to Note, may not be
     further amended except by all instrument in writing executed by each of the
     parties hereto.

15.  This Modification to Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
     benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

16.  This Modification to Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and
     all counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute but one
     Agreement.
