                 COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BORROWER
                 ---------------------------------------------

     The Borrower covenants and represents to the Lender as follows:

     1.1  PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

          The Borrower will pay the debt evidenced by the Note and all other
sums due thereunder in lawful money of the United States and pay and perform all
of its obligations under the Note, this Mortgage, the commitment letter signed
and accepted by the Borrower in connection with the Loan (the "COMMITMENT
LETTER") and every other instrument now or hereafter securing, evidencing or
relating to the Note and the Mortgage Debt (collectively referred to herein as
the "LOAN DOCUMENTS") at the times and in the manner set forth in such Loan
Documents.  All amounts due the Lender under any of the aforesaid instruments
shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and shall hereinafter be referred
to as the "MORTGAGE DEBT".  If the Borrower consists of one or more parties, all
of the obligations, covenants and warranties of the Borrower contained in this
Mortgage shall be the joint and several obligations of the parties constituting
the "Borrower".

     1.2  INSURANCE

          A.   The Borrower shall keep the Property insured against loss by
fire, flood and other hazards, casualties, contingencies and all other "extended
coverage" risks, including builder's risk, business interruption, liability,
indemnity, if available, in such amounts and with such deductibles and companies
as the Lender may reasonably require.  Borrower shall promptly

                                     - 3 -

 
pay when due the premiums on such insurance policies.  If the Borrower fails to
pay any such insurance premiums, the Lender may pay same and the amount of such
payments shall constitute Lender Advances pursuant to SECTION 3.4 hereof.

          B.   Each insurance policy maintained pursuant to SUBSECTION A. above
shall contain, in a form acceptable to the Lender, (1) a provision to the effect
that the policy will not be canceled without at least ten (10) days prior
written notice to the Lender, (2) the standard non-contributing mortgagee
endorsement (entitling the Lender to collect all proceeds payable under such
insurance), (3) the standard waiver of subrogation endorsement, and (4) any
other endorsement required by the Lender.  All insurance carried on the Property
must show the Lender as an additional insured.  The Borrower shall deliver
copies of all existing policies to the Lender at the Lender's request and shall
deliver copies of all additional and renewal policies, with current premium
bills therefor marked "Paid", to the Lender at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration of the old policies.  The Borrower shall claim no cancellation or
return of any policy or premium except from and after the redemption of this
Mortgage by the Borrower.

          C.   In the event of any loss or damage to the Property, the Borrower
shall give immediate notice thereof to the Lender.  The Borrower authorizes the
Lender, at its option, to collect, adjust and compromise any losses under any
hazard insurance policy maintained hereunder and to endorse the Borrower's name
on any instrument in payment of any insured loss; provided, if such option is
not exercised, the Lender shall not be responsible or liable for the collection,
adjustment or compromise of any such loss and the Borrower does hereby indemnify
the Lender and hold the Lender harmless against and from any and all claims and
liabilities asserted against the Lender in connection with the collection,
adjustment or compromise of any insured loss.  In case of loss and payment by
any insurance company, the amount of insurance proceeds received shall be
applied either in whole or in part upon the payment of the Mortgage Debt or to
rebuilding or restoring the Property, as the Lender may elect in its sole
discretion.

     1.3  TAXES

          A.   The Borrower shall pay within any applicable grace period and
before the same become delinquent, all taxes, assessments, and governmental
charges and impositions of any kind whatsoever for which lien rights exist,
which may now or hereafter be assessed or levied upon any part of the Property,
or upon the Loan Documents, in lieu of or in addition to a tax on the Property
(all such charges and payments collectively referred to herein as the "TAXES").

          B.   If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes due pursuant to SUBSECTION
A. above, the Lender may pay same and the amount of such payments shall
constitute Lender Advances pursuant to SECTION 3.4 hereof.

                                     - 4 -

 
          C.   The Borrower will deliver to the Lender, receipts for the payment
of each item specified in SUBSECTION A. above, prior to the date the item will
become delinquent if not paid.

          D.   The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender of the delinquency
in the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to SUBSECTION A. above.

          E.   Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender, together with and in addition to the monthly installments of principal
and interest provided in the Note, an amount (as estimated from time to time by
the Lender in its sole discretion) equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the yearly
Taxes assessed against the Property and sufficient funds to pay the insurance
premiums required under SECTION 1.2 when due.  The Borrower agrees that any
funds deposited with or paid to the Lender pursuant to this SUBSECTION E. shall
create only an indebtedness, and not a trust or agency relationship, between the
Borrower and the Lender, which shall be liquidated to the extent of the Lender's
payments as aforesaid.  Unless otherwise required by law, no interest shall be
payable on such funds.  If the tax escrow payments are not sufficient to pay the
Taxes on the date they become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender the amount necessary to make up the deficiency on or before said date.
Upon, and any time after, the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender may,
at its option, apply the accumulated escrow balance remaining as a credit
against the Mortgage Debt.
 
          F.   If the Lender receives any refund of any Taxes paid hereunder and
the Borrower is not in default hereunder, then the Lender shall promptly pay
over the same to the Borrower; if the Borrower is in default hereunder, beyond
any applicable grace period, the Lender may apply said refund in reduction of
any amount secured hereby or pay the same to the Borrower.

     1.4  CONDEMNATION

          A.   The Borrower will give the Lender immediate notice of the actual
or (if known to the Borrower) threatened commencement of any eminent domain
proceedings affecting any part of the Property, and will deliver to the Lender
copies of all papers served in connection therewith.  The Borrower hereby
appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and
authorizes the Lender to collect, receive, and retain, subject to the terms
hereof, the proceeds of any such award or payment, to give proper receipts
therefor and, if an Event of Default has occurred, to adjust, compromise and
settle the claim therefor.

               The Lender shall have the right to intervene and participate in
any eminent domain proceedings and the Borrower shall consult with the Lender in
all matters pertaining to the adjustment, compromise or settlement of such
proceedings and shall not enter into any agreement with respect to such matters
without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Borrower further agrees to
execute and deliver upon request any other instruments deemed necessary by the
Lender to confirm or assign to the Lender all awards and other compensation to
be made for any taking of the Property under eminent domain proceedings.

                                     - 5 -

 
          B.   The Lender may, in its sole discretion, retain and apply any
eminent domain award or payment toward payment of the Mortgage Debt, or pay same
over wholly or in part to the Borrower.

          C.   If a part of the Property shall have been taken in any eminent
domain proceedings and the remaining part of the Property shall have been sold
on foreclosure of this Mortgage prior to the receipt by the Lender of the award
or payment, the Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have
the right to receive the award or payment to the extent of any deficiency found
to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon, and including reasonable
counsel fees, costs and disbursements incurred by the Lender in connection with
the collection of such award or payment.

     1.5  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, ETC.

          A.   The Borrower presently does and will continue to observe and
comply with (1) all laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, and orders affecting
the Property or the business operations thereon; (2) the terms of each insurance
policy applicable to the Property; and (3) all conditions and requirements
necessary to preserve and maintain all rights, licenses, permits, privileges,
franchises and concessions which are applicable to the Property or business
activities conducted at or from the Property, or which have been granted to or
contracted for by the Borrower or by any tenant under the Leases.

          B.   The Borrower shall provide the Lender with copies of all notices,
orders, summonses, correspondence and other similar items delivered to or served
upon the Borrower pertaining to any of the foregoing.  Upon request, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Lender, or its designee, copies of all
correspondence from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (the
"DEP") (or the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), or any
similar entity, to the Borrower (other than routine mass informational mailings)
and, upon request, shall direct such entity to send copies of all such
correspondence directly to the Lender.  Upon request, the Borrower shall furnish
to the Lender copies of all correspondence from the Borrower to the DEP, the
EPA, or any similar entity, copies of all periodic reports required by any
environmental law or any permit, and copies of all records, forms and documents
which the Borrower is required to produce or maintain pursuant to any
environmental law or any permit.

          C.   If the Lender believes in its reasonable discretion that the
value of the Property may be adversely affected due to a potential violation of
any environmental law, rule or regulation, then the Lender may (but will not be
obligated to) hire an environmental engineer acceptable to the Lender, and after
reasonable notice to Borrower, enter upon, inspect, monitor and conduct all
environmental site assessments (including a phase I, phase II or phase III),
tests and surveys of the Property as the Lender may reasonably require.
Borrower must, within ten (10) business days of demand therefor by the Lender,
reimburse the Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Lender in connection with such assessment, environmental test, survey or
additional work.  All site assessments, environmental test reports, survey
reports and documentation relating to additional work will be the property of
the Lender and the Lender

                                     - 6 -

 
will have no obligation to disclose any such information to any third person,
including Borrower; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and upon (i) payment in full by Borrower of all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such assessment, test, survey
or additional work, and (ii) execution by Borrower of a confidentiality and
wavier letter in form provided by the Lender, the Lender will provide copies of
all such assessments, reports or documentation to Borrower.

          D.   The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender
harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense, including
attorneys' fees, suffered or incurred by the Lender, whether as holder of this
Mortgage, as mortgagee in possession or as a successor in interest to the
Borrower as owner of the Property by virtue of foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (i) under or on account of Chapter 446K of the
Connecticut General Statutes Revision of 1958, as amended (the "ACT") or related
regulations, or any similar applicable federal laws or regulations, including
the assertion of any lien thereunder; (ii) with respect to any discharge,
spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of oil or petroleum or
chemical liquids or solid, liquid or gaseous products or hazardous waste which,
if contained or removed or mitigated by the State of Connecticut, would give
rise to a lien under Connecticut General Laws Section 22a-452a, as amended (a
"SPILL") affecting the Property (whether or not the same originates or emanates
from the Property or any contiguous real estate) including any loss of value of
the Property as a result of such Spill; and (iii) with respect to any other
matter affecting the Property and governed by the provisions of the Act or
related regulations or any similar applicable federal laws or regulations.

          E.   In the event of any Spill affecting the Property, whether or not
the same originates or emanates from the Property or any contiguous real estate,
the Borrower shall contain, remove or mitigate same immediately and in
accordance with any directives of the State of Connecticut.  If the Borrower
shall fail to remedy such Spill or otherwise comply with any of the requirements
of the Act or related regulations or any other environmental law or regulation,
the Lender may at its election, but without the obligation to do so, give such
notices and/or cause such work to be performed at the Property and/or take any
and all other actions as the Lender shall deem necessary or advisable in order
to remedy the Spill or cure such failure of compliance, and any amounts paid as
a result thereof shall be reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand by the Lender,
shall bear interest at the "Default Rate" provided for in the Note, and shall be
secured by the lien of this Mortgage.

     1.6  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; INSPECTION; APPRAISAL; SIGN

          A.   The Borrower will (1) keep and maintain the Property in good
condition, working order and repair; (2) not commit or suffer any waste of the
Property; (3) repair, replace, rebuild or restore any part of the Property which
may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty or affected by eminent domain,
whether or not the proceeds of any insurance or eminent domain proceedings are
available therefor; (4) complete and pay for when due any construction
undertaken on the Property; and (5) make all other repairs and replacements to
the Property which the Lender may reasonably require.  All such work shall be
done promptly in good and

                                     - 7 -

 
workman-like manner.  If the Borrower fails to make such required repairs and
replacements, the Lender may perform same and the cost thereof shall constitute
Lender Advances pursuant to SECTION 3.4 hereof.  The covenants in this SECTION
1.6.A. shall be limited in their application to account for customary
construction conditions and such demolition and destruction as is contemplated
under the plans and specifications submitted to and approved by the Lender (the
"PLANS").

          B.   Until the Loan is paid in full, Borrower shall provide the Lender
and/or its agents, consultants or representatives with access to the Property,
during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, for the
purpose of enabling the Lender and/or its agents, consultants or representatives
to perform appraisals, environmental site assessments and inspections of the
Property.

          C.   The Lender may obtain appraisals of the Property, under such
circumstances as the Lender may in its reasonable discretion determine, and
Borrower shall, within ten (10) business days after demand by the Lender,
reimburse the Lender for all reasonable costs related to each such appraisal;
provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Borrower
will be required to reimburse the Lender for only one appraisal every twelve
months.  Appraisals will be the property of the Lender and the Lender will have
no obligation to disclose any appraisal to any person, including Borrower,
provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and upon (i)
payment in full by Borrower of all reasonable costs associated with an
appraisal, and (ii) execution by Borrower of a confidentiality and waiver letter
in form provided by the Lender, the Lender will provide a copy of the appraisal
to Borrower.

     1.7  SALE, ENCUMBRANCE AND USE

          A.   The Borrower, and if applicable any guarantor, shall not, without
the Lender's prior written consent which may be withheld in the Lender's sole
discretion for any reason whatsoever, (1) initiate or allow any transfer or
other disposition of title (as said terms are defined in SUBSECTION C. below) to
all or any part of the Property; (2) voluntarily create or grant any liens,
mortgages or encumbrances against such title; (3) initiate or allow any change
in the nature of the use and occupancy of the Property, including any such
change which materially increases the possibility of a Spill; or (4) record any
Declaration of Common Interest Community.

          B.   The Borrower will keep and maintain the Property free from the
claim of all persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the
construction or repair of any Improvements constituting a part of the Property.
The Borrower will furnish, at the Lender's request, all waivers and releases of
liens or claims upon or with respect to the Property or any Service Equipment.

          C.   The term "transfer or other disposition of title" as used in this
SECTION 1.7 shall mean:

                                     - 8 -

 
               (1)  any sale, conveyance, transfer, gift or other disposition,
whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law or the Borrower's entry
into any contract or option agreement to accomplish same;

               (2)  if the Borrower is a corporation, a merger, consolidation,
division, recapitalization, spin-off, or other corporate reorganization of the
Borrower;

               (3)  if the Borrower is a corporation, any change in ownership of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock of the Borrower;

               (4)  if the Borrower is a general partnership, any transfer of
ten percent (10%) or more of any general partner's interest in the Borrower;

               (5)  if the Borrower is a limited partnership, any transfer of
ten percent (10%) or more of any general partner's or limited partner's interest
in the Borrower;

               (6)  any dissolution or liquidation of, or the filing of a suit
to dissolve or liquidate, a corporate or partnership Borrower;

               (7)  if the Borrower is a limited liability company, any transfer
of a member's interest, whether caused by the member's death or otherwise, or
any change in the articles of organization or operating agreement of the
company, or any change in a manager of the company that has not been approved by
the Lender, or any termination of the company.

               (8)  a lease or leases of more than fifty per cent (50%) of the
Land, Improvements or Service Equipment, wherein the proposed tenant or tenants
do not intend to occupy the Property but intend to sell, sublease or assign
their interest in a lease or leases of the Land and/or Improvements. It is the
express intention of this provision to prohibit a long-term lease or sale and
leaseback for either financing purposes or to effectuate a transfer of the
Property;

               (9)  any other act by which the economic benefit, entrepreneurial
risk or management responsibility with respect to the Property is shifted to
someone other than the Borrower or a corporation in which the Borrower is the
sole stockholder or a limited or general partnership in which the Borrower is
the sole general partner.

          D.   The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender if any lien,
attachment or encumbrance is recorded against the Property without the
Borrower's consent and will cause the lien to be canceled and discharged of
record within thirty (30) days after its recording.  If the Borrower fails to
obtain the release of such lien or encumbrance, the Lender may take such action
and make such payments as are necessary to accomplish same and the cost thereof
shall constitute Lender Advances pursuant to SECTION 3.4 hereof.

                                     - 9 -

 
          E.   Any attempted action contrary to the provisions of this SECTION
1.7 shall be void, but shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.  The
Borrower agrees that if the ownership of the Property or any part thereof
becomes vested in a person or entity other than the Borrower, the Lender may,
upon notice to the Borrower, deal in any way with such successor or successors
in interest without in any way impairing or discharging the Borrower's liability
hereunder, under the Note or the Mortgage Debt.

     1.8  LEASES

          The Borrower will not take any action, the effect of which would be to
cause any Lease to cease to be in full force and effect, and will not, except
with the prior written consent of the Lender, (1) cancel or terminate any Lease,
or consent to any cancellation, termination or surrender thereof, or any
assignment thereof; (2) amend, modify or subordinate any Lease; (3) enter into
any new lease; (4) waive any default under or breach of any Lease; (5) consent
to any prepayment or discount of rent or advance rent under any Lease; or (6)
take any other action in connection with any Lease which may impair or
jeopardize the validity of such Lease or the Lender's interest therein.  The
Lender shall have the right to review and reasonably refuse written consent to
any of the above proposed actions of the Borrower based upon the substance of
the proposed transaction, the creditworthiness of the Borrower or the tenant,
the financial condition of the Property or otherwise.

     1.9  PROPERTY INCOME

          A.   The Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and grants a security
interest to the Lender in and to the Property Income to secure the Mortgage
Debt.  The Borrower will not otherwise assign, transfer or encumber the Property
Income in any manner.

          B.   The Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default, as defined
hereinafter, has occurred hereunder, collect and use the Property Income, as the
same becomes due and payable, but may not collect same more than thirty (30)
days in advance of the date the same becomes due without the prior written
consent of the Lender.  Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the
permission hereby given to the Borrower to collect the Property Income shall
terminate and such permission shall not be reinstated upon a cure of such Event
of Default without the Lender's specific written consent.

          C.   The foregoing provisions hereof shall constitute an absolute and
present assignment of the Property Income, subject, however, to the conditional
permission given to the Borrower to collect and use such Property Income as
hereinabove provided.  The existence or exercise of such right of the Borrower
shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment,
in whole or in part, and any such subsequent assignment by the Borrower shall be
subject to the rights of the Lender hereunder.

                                     - 10 -

 
     1.10 REMOVALS, ALTERATIONS AND DEMOLITION

          A.   Except as contemplated under the Plans, no Improvements or
Service Equipment constituting part of the Property shall be removed, altered,
demolished or erected (except for normal replacement of the Service Equipment)

Default, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender all of the Borrower's
interest in contracts relating to the construction of the Improvements, but this
assignment shall not, in the absence of affirmative ratification of such

management agent's fees, and in the event the Lender manages the Property itself
with its own employees, the Lender shall be entitled to charge and collect a
management fee equal to the customary management agent's fee charged for
performing similar management functions in the area where the Property is
located.

          F.   The Lender, its agents, or any receiver acting pursuant to
SUBSECTIONS 3.3 A.(1), (2) OR (3) hereof shall in no event be liable or
accountable for more moneys than actually are received from the Property during
the period which the Lender, its agent or any receiver actually is in possession
and control of the Property.  Neither the Lender, its agents or any receiver
shall be liable or accountable in any manner for the failure to collect Property
Income for any reason whatsoever.

          G.   All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred

States of America extending subsequent to the foreclosure sale, if a deficiency
exists.  The Lender, its agents or the receiver shall incur no liability for,
nor shall Borrower assert any claim or setoff as a result of, any action taken
while the Lender, its agent or a receiver is in possession of the Property.

          No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Lender hereunder is or
