amended by this Agreement, and recorded with the Public Records of Hillsborough
County, Florida concurrently with this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the

hereinafter be referred to collectively as the "HUD Regulatory Agreement".

WHEREAS, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage provide for the payment of interest

Percent (8.50%) per annum (hereinafter referred to as the "Permanent Rate")

The parties hereto now desire to amend the Mortgage to conform the terms thereof

Mortgage in certain other respects as hereinafter described.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the sum of Ten and 
No/100ths Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the 
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by all 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 Mortgagor to Mortgagee 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 amended as of February 1, 1995 to be Seven and Seven
     Eighths Percent (7.875%) per annum (hereinafter referred to as the "Reduced
     Rate").

4.   Mortgagor and Mortgagee 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 Mortgage is hereby amended as necessary to reflect the modification of
     the obligation of Mortgagor to make payments of principal and/or interest
     under the


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modification of Mortgage: Highland Oaks
Page 2





     Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Mortgage Note, as amended by the
     Modification to Note, and as incorporated into and made a part of the
     Mortgage, and thereby to provide that said payments shall be payable as
     follows:

          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 be 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 the
          Mortgage Note becomes delinquent for more than fifteen (15) days,
          there shall be due, in addition to other sums then due 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 in 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.   The Mortgage is amended to conform to the revisions aforesaid to the
     Mortgage Note by reflecting payment of interest on the Outstanding
     Principal Balance at the Reduced Rate effective as of February 1, 1995.

7.   The HUD Regulatory Agreement by and between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, which
     is to be recorded against the Project, is hereby incorporated by reference
     into the Mortgage and made a part hereof pursuant to Mortgagor's covenant
     number 3 on page 2 of the Mortgage. Upon default under this HUD Regulatory
     Agreement and upon request by the Mortgagee or the Secretary, the Mortgagee
     may declare this Mortgage in default and may declare the whole of the
     indebtedness secured hereby to be due and payable.

8.   All references contained in the Mortgage to the (a) "Note" and/or (b)
     Regulatory Agreement shall hereafter be deemed to refer respectively to (x)
     the Note, as amended by the Modification to Note, and (y) the HUD
     Regulatory Agreement.

9.   Nothing in this Agreement shall waive, compromise, impair or prejudice any
     right the Mortgagee or the Secretary may have to such judicial recourse for
     any breach of the HUD Regulatory Agreement that may have occurred prior to
     or that may occur subsequent to the date of this Agreement. In the event
     that the Mortgagee or Secretary initiates an action for breach of the HUD
     Regulatory Agreement and recovers funds, on the Mortgagee's or Secretary's
     behalf or on behalf of the Project or the Mortgagor, those funds may be
     applied at the discretion of the Mortgagee or Secretary to payment of the
     delinquent amounts due under the Mortgage or as a partial prepayment of the
     Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a transfer of
     the Project and assumption of the Mortgage, it is understood that the
     Mortgagee or the Secretary shall have the right to such judicial recourse
     for any breach of the HUD Regulatory Agreement against the Mortgagor but
     not against a transferee of the Mortgagor or the Project, under the HUD
     Regulatory Agreement, where said transferee entered into a new Regulatory
     Agreement.

10.  Nothing herein contained shall in any way impair the Mortgage Note, as
     amended by the Modification to Note, or the security now held for the
     indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, as amended by the Modification
     to Note, or alter, waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, covenant or
     condition of the Mortgage or the HUD Regulatory Agreement, except as
     specifically modified and amended herein, nor affect or impair


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     any rights, powers or remedies Or the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Note, as
     amended by the Modification to Note, the Mortgage, as amended by this
     Agreement, or the HUD Regulatory Agreement, nor create a novation or new
     agreement by and between the parties thereto, it being the intent of the
     parties to this Agreement that all of the terms, covenants, conditions and
     agreements of the Mortgage Note, as amended by the Modification to Note,
     the Mortgage and the HUD Regulatory Agreement are expressly approved,
     ratified and confirmed, shall continue and remain in full force and effect
     except as modified hereby and that the lien of the Mortgage and the HUD
     Regulatory Agreement and the priority thereof shall be unchanged.

11.  Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and affirms to Mortgagee that as of the
     effective date of this Agreement, there are no counter-claims, defenses or
     set-offs, whether legal or equitable, to Mortgagor's obligations under
     either the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note, and Mortgagor hereby waives the
     right to assert or raise any such counter-claims, defenses or set-offs
     which Mortgagor may have had with respect to any suit, proceeding or
     foreclosure action under the Mortgage that the Mortgagee, or any of its
     predecessors in interest in and to the Mortgage Loan, may or could have
     brought against Mortgagor prior the effective date of this Agreement.

12.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if any one or more of the
     provisions of this Agreement 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
     Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such illegal,
     invalid, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

13.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
     provisions of the Mortgage, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail.

14.  The Mortgage, as amended by this Agreement, may not be further modified
     except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

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

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