                          NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST

$1,750,000

                                                             Salinas, California
                                                             August 1, 1995

     The undersigned, Nielsen Properties Ltd. ("Nielsen"), hereby promises to
pay to New England Pension Properties V; A Real Estate Limited Partnership, a
Massachusetts limited partnership ("NEPP"), or order at 399 Boylston Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02116, the sum of One Million, Seven Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000) (the "Principal Sum"), with interest on the unpaid
principal amount outstanding from time to time, at the rate of eight and
three-quarters percent (8.75%) per annum.

     Principal and interest shall be payable on the first day of each month,
commencing September 1, 1995, in one hundred eighty (180) equal installments of
$17,490.35 (i.e., a 15-year fully amortizing term) (the "Monthly Installments").
All principal and interest due hereunder shall be due and payable in full on
August 1, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder
of this Note may at any time, on or after August 1, 2000, give notice to Nielsen
of acceleration of this Note (the "Lender Call"), in which event all principal
and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the date specified by the
holder in such notice, provided that such date for payment shall be not less
than 365 days following the date on which the notice is given.

     This Note may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by Nielsen or
assumed by any party without the prior written consent of the holder of this
Note, which consent may be withheld in such holder's sole discretion without any
requirement of such holder to be reasonable. Any purported transfer in violation
of this provision shall constitute a default hereunder and shall cause the whole
sum of principal and interest hereunder to become immediately due at the option
of the holder of this Note.

     This Note is prepayable in whole only and not in part. Nielsen acknowledges
that prepayment of this Note shall result in the holder's incurring additional
costs and expenses and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to
ascertain the extent of such costs and expenses. Therefore, if Nielsen elects to
pay this Note prior to August 1, 2000, then on the date of payment, Nielsen will
pay the holder (in addition to all other sums then owing to the holder) an
amount (the "Prepayment Premium") equal to the greater of (I) one percent (1%)
of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or (II) (a) the present value,
computed as of

 
the date of prepayment, at the yield on the 10% United States Treasury Bond
maturing May 5, 2010 as most recently reported in The Wall Street Journal (or if
                                                  -----------------------
the same is not then published, another similar journal selected by Lender) as
of the date of repayment, of

     1.   the Monthly Installments from the date of prepayment to, but not
                                                                   -------
          including, the Maturity Date (computed on a monthly basis);
          ---------

     plus
     ----

     2.   the amount of interest and principal due on the Maturity Date pursuant
          to the terms of this Note (assuming all Monthly Installments due prior
          to the Maturity Date were made when due (computed on a monthly basis)

LESS
- ----

     (b) the amount prepaid

PLUS
- ----

     (c)  the amount, as reasonably estimated by the holder, of the holder's
          out-of-pocket reasonable costs and expenses in reinvesting the amount
          prepaid (i.e., the sums determined under (a) and (b) above),
          including, without limitation, transaction and processing fees and
          costs, legal fees and brokerage expenses and the holder's expenses
          incurred in terminating any servicing agreement related to the loan.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nielsen shall not be required to pay the
Prepayment Premium if Nielsen pays this Note prior to the Maturity Date pursuant
to a Lender's Call.

     If any payment is not made within ten (10) days of the date due, Nielsen
agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent
payment(s).

     Nielsen hereby expressly agrees that, so long as NEPP is the holder of this
Note, R/M Salinas, L.P., a California limited partnership ("R/M") shall offset
against the rent due Nielsen under that certain lease dated January 23, 1988, by
and between Nielsen, as Landlord, and R/M as successor in interest to R/M
Salinas Venture, as Tenant, for that certain land underlying that certain
shopping center known as the Santa Rita Plaza, 1934 N. Main Street, Salinas,
California (the "Ground Lease") the loan payments due NEPP hereunder as and when
such payments would be otherwise payable hereunder in lieu of requiring Nielsen
to make such loan payments to NEPP.


                                      -2-

 
     Should default be made in payment of principal or interest when due, the
whole sum of principal and interest shall become immediately due at the option
of the holder of this Note. Principal and interest shall be payable in lawful
money of the Unites States. If action be instituted on this Note, the
undersigned promises to pay such sum as the court may fix as attorneys' fees.

     This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust of even date encumbering certain
real property owned by Nielsen. The holder agrees that neither Nielsen nor the
partners of Nielsen shall have any personal liability for the repayment of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby and that the holder shall look solely to the
assets subject to said Deed of Trust for the repayment of such indebtedness;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or
impairment of such indebtedness.

     Nielsen and any endorsers or guarantors hereof and all others who may
become liable for all or any part of this obligation, severally waive
presentment for payment, demand and protest and notice of protest, and of
dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly consent to any extension of
the time of payment hereof or of any installment hereof, to the release of any
party liable for this obligation, and any such extension or release may be made
without notice to any of said parties and without in any way affecting or
discharging this liability.

     Nielsen acknowledges that this loan was arranged by R/M Management Company,
a licensed California real estate broker, within the meaning of California
Constitution, Article XV, and that said loan is, therefore, exempt from any
interest rate limitation imposed by California law.
