incident to any assignment, sublease or surrender of any Occupancy Lease, claims

Paragraph  FOURTEENTH  hereof,  as  Series  A  ("Mortgage  Note  A"),  Series  B

          (v) an  additional  credit in an amount up to but no greater than five

costs and  actual  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) of the  holder of the
Mortgage  Notes,  payable  without  necessity for approval by any court,  in the
event  that  such  holder  shall  have  recourse  to the  courts or to any other
governmental agency in order to collect all


                                       16









or any part of the principal  thereof or any interest thereon (by foreclosure or
other  proceedings  or action)  (hereinafter  called the "credit for  liquidated
damages"); and

          (vi) an additional  credit in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%)
of the principal amount of Mortgage Note A to cover any additional  amounts that
may be paid or advanced by the  Mortgagee in connection  with the  completion of
the  improvements  presently  contemplated  to be  constructed  on the Mortgaged
Property,  which  improvements  shall consist of approximately  750 guest rooms,

          Mortgagor hereby constitutes and creates a voluntary first mortgage in
favor of the Mortgagee on the Mortgaged Property (references herein to Mortgagee
shall be deemed to include the Authority and any future  holders of the Mortgage
Notes  either by  endorsement  or  assignment  and in the event  that any of the
Mortgage Notes is delivered


                                       17









in pledge to secure Mortgagor's obligations under any pledge agreement, the term
Mortgagee  shall also refer to the  Pledgees  of such  Mortgage  Note under such
pledge agreement).

     FOURTH:   Additional   Representations   and   Warranties.   The  Mortgagor
represents, warrants and covenants to the Mortgagee as follows:

          (a) The Mortgagor, by its execution and delivery hereof, is mortgaging
to the  Mortgagee  all of its right,  title and interest in and to the Mortgaged
Property.

          (b) The  Mortgagor  is the sole and  valid  owner of the  Improvements
located on the Land;  the  Mortgagor  has full  right,  power and  authority  to
mortgage the Mortgaged  Property to the Mortgagee pursuant hereto; the Mortgagor
knows of no adverse claim to the title and/or  possession of the Mortgagor in or
to the Land, or the Improvements  thereon;  and no fire or casualty has affected
the Mortgaged  Property within sixty (60) days prior to the date hereof; and the
Mortgagor  knows  of no  actual  or  proposed  condemnation  or  eminent  domain
proceeding or settlement in lieu thereof.

          (c) The  Mortgagor,  at its sole cost and  expense,  will  warrant and
defend to the Mortgagee  such title to the Mortgaged  Property,  and the lien of
the  Mortgagee  thereon  and  therein  against  all claims and  demands and will
maintain and preserve such lien and will keep this


                                       18









Mortgage a valid and direct mortgage lien upon the Mortgaged  Property,  subject
only to the Permitted  Encumbrances  and prior,  at all times,  to all Occupancy
Leases.

          (d) The Mortgagor  will pay, or cause to be paid,  all charges for all
public and private  utility  services at any time rendered to, or the payment of
which is the  obligation  of, the  Mortgagor in  connection  with the  Mortgaged
Property,  or any part  thereof,  and will do all other things  required for the
maintenance and continuance of all such services.

          (e) It has taken all necessary and proper  action,  which has not been
modified or revoked,  to enter into this Mortgage and the execution and delivery
of this  Mortgage by the Persons who have signed this  Mortgage on behalf of the
Mortgagor have been duly qualified and are sufficient  action to constitute this
Mortgage as a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Mortgagor.

     FIFTH:  Maintenance  of the Mortgage  Property.  The Mortgagor  will at all
times maintain, preserve and keep, or cause to be maintained, preserved or kept,
all and each part of the Land and the Improvements in good repair, working order
and condition,  such that the Mortgaged Property will be maintained and operated
as part of a  first-class  destination  resort.  The  Mortgagor  will supply the
Mortgaged Property, and keep the same or cause the same to be kept and supplied,
with all necessary supplies and equipment and make all needful and proper


                                       19









repairs,  renewals  and  replacements  thereto,  whether  interior or  exterior,
structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen.
All such repairs,  renewals and replacements shall be at least equal in quality,
value and class to the original Improvements. Without limiting the generality of
the  foregoing,  the  Mortgagor  covenants  that it will not  cause or permit to
suffer damage,  deterioration,  loss or waste to the Mortgaged  Property,  other
than that resulting from normal wear and tear. The Mortgagor will not alter, add
to, remove or demolish any building,  structure or property  forming part of the
Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, except to
the  extent  permitted  in any  pledge  agreement  pursuant  to which any of the
Mortgage Notes is pledged or assigned.

     SIXTH:  Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Mortgagor hereby absolutely and
irrevocably  mortgages and assigns to the Mortgagee all rents,  income and other
sums due to the Mortgagor  under each Occupancy  Lease now existing or hereafter
entered  into,  together with the right to collect and receive the same provided
if and so long as no  Event of  Default  (as  hereinafter  defined)  shall  have
occurred and be  continuing,  the Mortgagor  shall have the right to collect and
receive  such  rents  and  other  sums for its own uses and  purposes.  Upon the
occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  all such  rents  and other  sums  shall be
collected and held by the Mortgagee to be applied as deemed  appropriate  in the
sole


                                       20









discretion of the  Mortgagee to the  obligations  secured  hereunder and in such
other  manner as is  permitted  pursuant  to the terms  hereof and of any pledge
agreement  pursuant  to  which  any of the  Mortgage  Notes  may be  pledged  or
assigned.  The Mortgagee shall notify the Mortgagor of its exercise of its right
to collect  rent and other sums at the same time that it  notifies  any  tenants
thereof;  provided,  however,  that failure on the part of the Mortgagee to give
such notice to the  Mortgagor  shall not operate as a waiver of the right of the
Mortgagee  to collect and  receive  all rents,  income and other sums due to the
Mortgagor under each Occupancy Lease. The assignment of rents,  income and other
benefits  contained  herein shall  constitute an absolute  assignment,  subject,
however, to the conditional  permission given herein to the Mortgagor to collect
and use such rents, income and other benefits. The foregoing assignment shall be
fully  operative  without any further action on the part of either party and the
Mortgagee shall be entitled,  at its option,  upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default  hereunder,  to all rents,  income and other benefits from the Mortgaged
Property,  whether  or not  the  Mortgagee  takes  possession  of the  Mortgaged
Property. The Mortgagor hereby further grants to the Mortgagee and its agent the
right, at the Mortgagee's option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged  Property for the purpose of
collecting said rents,  income and other benefits,  (ii) dispossess by the usual
summary proceedings any


                                       21









lessee defaulting in its obligations  pursuant to its Occupancy Lease beyond any
applicable grace and/or notice period, (iii) let the Mortgaged Property,  or any
part thereof,  to the extent permitted by law, and (iv) apply such rents, income
and other  benefits,  after  payment of all necessary  charges and expenses,  on
account  of the  indebtedness  and other  sums  secured  hereby or by any pledge
agreements  pursuant  to which  any of the  Mortgage  Notes  may be  pledged  or
assigned.  Such  assignment  and  grant  shall  continue  in  effect  until  the
indebtedness  and  other  sums  secured  by  this  Mortgage,  and by any  pledge
agreements pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes may be pledged or assigned,  are
paid in full,  the execution of this Mortgage  constituting  and  evidencing the
irrevocable  consent of the Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of
the  Mortgaged  Property by the  Mortgagee  pursuant to such grant.  Neither the
exercise  of any rights  under this  Paragraph  SIXTH by the  Mortgagee  nor the
application of any such rents,  income or other benefits to the indebtedness and
other sums secured  hereby shall cure or waive any Default,  Event of Default or
notice of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any
such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.

     SEVENTH:  Insurance.  As is provided in Article One Hundred  Sixty (160) of
the  Mortgage  and  Property  Registry Act of Puerto Rico Act Number One Hundred
Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen


                                       22









hundred seventy-nine  (1979),  Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand
Five Hundred Fifty-Six (30 L.P.R.A.  2556), this Mortgage shall be extensive to,
and shall cover,  all  indemnities  to which the Mortgagor may be entitled under
any policy of insurance covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and
the  Mortgagee  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  directly  from  the  insurance
underwriter(s)  all  payments  which  become due under any such  policy(ies)  of
insurance unless otherwise  provided in any pledge agreements under which any of
the Mortgage  Notes are pledged or assigned.  Such payments  shall be applied in
the manner provided in any pledge agreements or other instrument under which the
Mortgage Notes are pledged or assigned.

     EIGHTH:  Additional Advances.  The Mortgagee,  without consent of or demand
upon the Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default or
Event of Default,  may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time advance
such funds as may in the Mortgagee's  judgment be needed for the purposes of (i)
paying real estate  taxes  assessed  against the  Mortgaged  Property  which the
Mortgagor  has  failed  to  pay,  (ii)  maintaining  insurance  coverage  on the
Mortgaged Property as required hereunder or otherwise as set forth in any pledge
agreements  pursuant  to which any of the  Mortgage  Notes have been  pledged or
assigned,  (iii) complying with any Legal Requirements relating to environmental
matters with which the Mortgagor has failed to comply


                                       23









or (iv) paying any other expenses which the Mortgagee  reasonably  determines to
be necessary to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property,  and the Mortgagor
may, in such event,  enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purpose and take
all action thereon that it considers necessary or appropriate, and may take such
other and further action as it may consider  necessary or  appropriate  for such
purposes.  All sums so  advanced  or paid by the  Mortgagee  and all  costs  and
expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  attorneys'  fees and  expenses)  so
incurred,  together  with  interest  thereon  at the  rate  provided  for in the
Mortgage Note from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional
indebtedness  secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee  on  demand,  regardless  of the  due  date  of the  remainder  of the
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

     NINTH:  Further  Assurances;  Additional  Security.  The Mortgagor,  at its
expense, will execute, acknowledge,  deliver and record all such instruments and
take all such action as the  Mortgagee  from time to time may request  better to
assure the  Mortgagee  that the  properties  and  rights  hereby  mortgaged  and
assigned or intended to have been  mortgaged and assigned have so been.  Without
notice to or consent of the Mortgagor, and without impairment of the lien of and
rights under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may take from (but the Mortgagor shall
not be obligated to furnish to) the Mortgagor or from any other Person or


                                       24









Persons  (as  hereinafter  defined)  additional  security  for all or any of the
Mortgage Notes or for the obligations of the Mortgagor secured by the assignment
or pledge of any of the Mortgage Notes;  and neither the giving of this Mortgage
nor the acceptance of any such  additional  security shall prevent the Mortgagee
from resorting first to such additional security,  or to the security created by
this Mortgage,  in either case without affecting the Mortgagee's lien and rights
under this Mortgage.

     TENTH:  Foreclosure  Valuation.  In  compliance  with  Article  One Hundred
Seventy-Nine (179) of the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto Rico [Act
Number  One  Hundred  Ninety-Eight  (198) of August ten (10),  nineteen  hundred
seventy-nine  (1979)  Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico  Annotated  Two  Thousand  Five
Hundred  Seventy-Five  (30 L.P.R.A.  2575)],  the Mortgagor  hereby declares and
agrees for the purpose of foreclosure  that the value of the Mortgaged  Property
is the amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($150,000,000).

     ELEVENTH:  Foreclosure.  In the  event  that any of the  Mortgage  Notes is
assigned or pledged or  otherwise  encumbered  by the  Mortgagor  as  collateral
security  for the payment of any other note or debt of the  Mortgagor  or of any
other Person, the Mortgagor agrees that:

          (a) The  Mortgagee  may  foreclose  this Mortgage and may exercise all
other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided


                                       25









herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise,
without  first  foreclosing  the  pledge or other lien so  constituted  upon the
respective  Mortgage Note, to the same extent and with the same force and effect
as if such  Mortgage  Note had been  assigned  or  transferred  directly  to the
Mortgagee rather than assigned or pledged as collateral security,  provided that
nothing  contained in this  paragraph  ELEVENTH shall relieve the Mortgagee from
the  obligation  to comply  with thee  terms of any pledge  agreements  or other
instruments under which any Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged.

          (b) The  Mortgagor  will not exercise any right which it might have to
cancel the record of the  Mortgage by reason of lapse of time  counted  from the
date of the  constitution of the Mortgage either under the provisions of Article
One Hundred Forty-Five (145) of the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto
Rico [Act Number One  Hundred  Ninety-Eight  (198) of August ten (10),  nineteen
hundred seventy- nine (1979),  Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand
Four Hundred  Sixty-Nine  (30 L.P.R.A.  2469)] or otherwise and further  agrees,
whenever  requested  by the  Mortgagee,  to execute and file in the  appropriate
Registry,  at the Mortgagor's  sole cost and expense,  any and all  supplemental
instruments  which  may  be  necessary  or  convenient  in the  judgment  of the
Mortgagee for the  preservation  of the lien of this Mortgage until full payment
of the notes or debts so secured by the liens


                                       26









of the Mortgage Notes and full payment of any obligations secured by any pledges
of the Mortgage  Notes.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the
Mortgagor  agrees that,  unless the  Mortgagee  shall  consent in writing to the
cancellation  of  the  Mortgage  at an  earlier  date,  the  Mortgage  shall  be
conclusively presumed to subsist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the
date of its constitution; and the Mortgagor does hereby waive any right which it
might  otherwise  have under said  Article One Hundred  Forty-Five  (145) of the
Mortgage and Property  Registry Act to apply for an earlier  cancellation of the
record of the Mortgage.

          (c) The  Mortgagee  may upon the  occurrence  of any Event of  Default
hereunder  or under any pledge  agreement  pursuant to which any of the Mortgage
Notes has been pledged or assigned,  petition the court having jurisdiction over
the  Mortgaged  Property  to  appoint a  receiver  for the  Mortgaged  Property,
including all rents, issues and profits therefrom,  and said receiver shall have
the broadest  powers and faculties  permitted to be granted to a receiver by the
court and his  appointment  shall be made by the  court as a matter of  absolute
right granted to the Mortgagee  without taking into  consideration  the value of
the Mortgaged Property or the solvency of the Mortgagor or of any other party to
the action,  and the  Mortgagor  hereby  consents to the  appointment  of such a
receiver and agrees not to oppose the same, and waives any  requirement for such
a receiver to post a bond of any kind.


                                       27

     FIFTEENTH:  Deed in the Public  Interest.  (a) The Authority  hereby states
that its appearance in this Deed, made for its benefit, is in furtherance of the
purpose for which the Authority was created and is a legitimate  exercise of its
powers.  In approving the financing  being provided to the Mortgagor and secured
hereby, the Authority has determined that the Mortgage  constituted by this Deed
is in the  public  interest  and serves the  public  purpose  of  promoting  the
economic  development,   health,  welfare  and  safety  of  the  people  of  the
Commonwealth  of Puerto  Rico,  and that,  therefore,  under the  provisions  of
Sections One Thousand Two Hundred  Fifty-One  (1251) to One Thousand Two Hundred
Sixty-Nine (1269) of Title Twelve (12) of the


                                       40









Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated  (L.P.R.A.) and Section One Thousand Seven Hundred
Seventy  Subsection  [c])  (1770[c])  of Title Thirty (30) of the Laws of Puerto
Rico Annotated,  the  constitution and recording of this Mortgage is exempt from
the payment  and/or  cancellation  of all internal  revenue stamps and recording
fees.

          (b) If such  exemption is held to be invalid,  of if additional  costs
and expenses are otherwise  incurred,  then all costs and expenses of this Deed,
of obtaining a certified copy or copies hereof,  and of the registration of this
instrument in the proper public registry  (including,  without  limitation,  the
cost of all recording fees payable in connection with the initial recordation or
subsequent  cancellation  of this Mortgage or fees for the  cancellation  of any
revenue stamps affixed hereto); all expenses of such additional documentation as
may hereafter be required, including the registration thereof in the appropriate
sections of the Registry of Property,  if such be required;  and all expenses of
all documents of cancellation,  including the cost of registration  thereof, and
all other recording, filing, notarial or other fees, taxes and charges, shall be
for the account of Mortgagor.

     SIXTEENTH:  Disposition of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor covenants that
it shall not sell,  convey,  mortgage,  or otherwise  dispose of or encumber the
Mortgaged Property,  any portion thereof, or any of the Mortgagor's right, title
or interest therein without first securing


                                       41









the written consent of the Mortgagee,  except to the extent otherwise  permitted
under any pledge agreement  pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes has been
pledged or assigned.

     SEVENTEENTH:  (a) Events of Default. The following shall constitute "Events
of Default"  under this  Mortgage,  and the term "Event of Default"  shall mean,
wherever used with reference to this Mortgage,  any one or more of the following
occurrences:

          (i) any principal,  interest or any other sums payable pursuant to any
of the Mortgage Notes shall not be paid when due;

          (ii) any sums  (other  than  those  set  forth in (i)  above)  payable
pursuant to this Mortgage or any pledge  agreement  pursuant to which any of the
Mortgage Notes has been pledged or assigned shall not be paid when due, and such
failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after notice is given to
the Mortgagor by the Mortgagee, unless the Mortgagee shall agree to an extension
of such time prior to its expiration;

          (iii) the Mortgagor shall fail in the due performance or observance of
any  covenant,  agreement or term binding  upon the  Mortgagor  obtained in this
Mortgage,  any of the Mortgage Notes or any pledge  agreement  pursuant to which
any of the Mortgage Notes was pledged or assigned,  other than those  covenants,
agreements or terms of which the Mortgagor's failure to perform would constitute
another Event


                                       42









of Default  referred to in this  paragraph  SEVENTEENTH,  and such failure shall
continue  unremedied  for more than ninety (90) days after notice  thereof shall
have been given to the  Mortgagor by the  Mortgagee or such shorter grace period
provided  for in any such  document;  provided,  however,  that if such  failure
cannot be corrected within such ninety (90) day period,  it shall not constitute
an  Event of  Default  hereunder  if  corrective  action  is  instituted  by the
Mortgagor  within  such  period and  diligently  pursued  until such  failure is
corrected;

          (iv) any warranty,  representation  or other  statement  made by or on
behalf of the Mortgagor in or pursuant to this  Mortgage,  any pledge  agreement
pursuant  to which any of the  Mortgage  Notes was pledged or  assigned,  or any
document,   instrument  or  certificate  delivered  in  connection  herewith  or
therewith shall prove to have been materially incorrect or misleading when made;
provided,  however, that if the incorrect or misleading nature of such warranty,
representation  or other  statement is curable,  such  incorrect  or  misleading
nature  shall  not be an Event of  Default  hereunder  so long as the  Mortgagor
diligently proceeds to cure and cures such incorrect or misleading nature within
ten (10) days after notice from the  Mortgagee of such  incorrect or  misleading
nature such that the original  warranty,  representation or other statement made
shall then not be materially incorrect or misleading;

          (v) the occurrence of an Event of Default under and


                                       43









pursuant  to the  terms of any  pledge  agreement  pursuant  to which any of the
Mortgage Notes has been pledged or otherwise encumbered; or

          (vi) the  Mortgagor  shall  breach its  covenant  contained in Article
Eighteenth hereof.

          To the extent that any  circumstances  constitute  an Event of Default
under any pledge  agreement  pursuant to which any of the Mortgage  Notes may be
pledged  or  assigned  but would not  otherwise  constitute  an Event of Default
hereunder,   then,  notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  such  circumstances  shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

          (b)  Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence  and  continuance  of an Event of
Default  hereunder or under any pledge  agreement or other document  pursuant to
which any of the Mortgage Notes may be assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered
as collateral security,  the Mortgagee,  its successors and assigns, may, at its
or their election:

          (i) declare all or any portion of the principal sum of and interest on
all or any of the Mortgage Notes, along with all or any other sums payable under
all or any of the Mortgage Notes, this Mortgage or any pledge agreement pursuant
to which any of the Mortgage Notes has been pledged or assigned  immediately due
and payable;

          (ii)  proceed to  enforce  the  payment of all or any of the  Mortgage

income,  rents,  issues and proceeds  accruing with respect  thereto or any part

the Mortgagor  under this paragraph  Twentieth  shall survive the termination or
satisfaction of this Mortgage.

     TWENTY-FIRST:  Application  of  Foreclosure  Proceeds.  The proceeds of any

Mortgagee provided for in this Deed shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall
be in addition to every other right,  power or remedy  provided for in this Deed
or in any  agreement  between the  Mortgagor  and the  Mortgagee  secured by the
Mortgage Notes, or in


                                       51









any pledge agreements  pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or
assigned,  or now or  hereafter  existing  at law or in equity or by  statute or
otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Mortgagee of any
one or more of the rights,  powers or remedies  provided  for in this Deed or in
any agreement  between the  Mortgagor and the Mortgagee  secured by the Mortgage
Notes,  or in any pledge  agreements  pursuant to which the Mortgage  Notes have
been pledged or assigned, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise  shall not preclude the  simultaneous  or later exercise by
the Mortgagee of any or all such other rights,  powers or remedies.  All rights,
remedies and powers provided herein may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise  thereof  does not violate any  applicable  provision  of law,  and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this
Mortgage  invalid,  unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,  registered or
filed under the provision of any  applicable  law. If any provision of this Deed
shall be held to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable,  the  validity of other
provisions of this Deed shall in no way be affected thereby.

     TWENTY-THIRD:  No Waiver of Remedies. No failure by the Mortgagee to insist
upon the strict  performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right,  power
or remedy  consequent  upon a breach thereof,  shall  constitute a waiver of any
such term or of any such breach. No


                                       52









waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Deed or the Mortgage constituted
herein,  which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other
then exiting or subsequent breach. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by the
Mortgagee against the Mortgagor pursuant to any of the terms of this Mortgage or
otherwise,  and any claim made by the Mortgagee  hereunder  may be  compromised,
withdrawn  or  otherwise  dealt with by the  Mortgagee  without any notice to or
approval of the Mortgagor.  Nothing  contained in this Deed shall constitute any
consent or request by Mortgagee,  express or implied, for the performance of any
labor or  services  or the  furnishing  of any  materials  or other  property in
respect of the Mortgaged  Property or any part thereof,  nor as giving Mortgagor
any right,  power or authority to contract for or permit the  performance of any
labor or services or the  furnishing of any materials or other  property in such
fashion as would  permit the making of any claim  against  Mortgagee  in respect
thereof  or any claim that any lien  based on the  performance  of such labor or
services or the  furnishings of any such materials or other property is prior to
the lien of this Mortgage.

     TWENTY-FOURTH:  Notices.  All notices to and demands and  requests  upon or
from the Mortgagor under this Deed shall be made in the manner called for in any
pledge  agreements  pursuant to which the  Mortgage  Notes have been  pledged or
assigned;  otherwise,  such  notices  shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been properly given or


                                       53









made if sent by United States  registered or certified  mail,  postage  prepaid,
return receipt  requested,  addressed to the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee,  as the
case may be, at such place as the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee may have  furnished
to each other in  writing.  All such  notices,  demands  and  requests  shall be
effective when received at the address specified as aforesaid.

     TWENTY-FIFTH:  Interim Sums. The Mortgagee will have the right from time to
time to sue for any sums  whether  for  interest,  damages  for  failure  to pay
principal or any  installment  thereof,  taxes, or any other sums required to be
paid under the terms of this Mortgage,  any pledge agreements  pursuant to which
the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or assigned or any other related  documents
as the same become due,  without  regard to whether or not the  principal sum or
any other sum evidenced by any of the Mortgage Note and secured by this Mortgage
becomes due and without  prejudice to the right of the  Mortgagee  thereafter to
bring an action of  foreclosure,  or any other  action,  as a  consequence  of a
Default  or event of  Default  existing  at the time  such  earlier  action  was
commenced.

     TWENTY-SIXTH:  No Credits on Account of the Debt.  The  Mortgagor  will not
claim or demand or be  entitled  to any  credit or  credits  on  account  of the
indebtedness  secured by this Mortgage for any part of the Impositions  assessed
against the Mortgaged Property or any part


                                       54









thereof and no  deduction  shall  otherwise  be made or claimed from the taxable
value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Mortgage
or the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

     TWENTY-SEVENTH: Inspection. The Mortgagor will permit the Mortgagee and any
representatives  designated  by the Mortgagee to visit and inspect the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, (i) in an Emergency,  at any time and (ii) at all
other times,  during normal  business hours and upon  reasonable  notice,  or as
otherwise  permitted  pursuant to the terms of any pledge agreement  pursuant to
which any of the Mortgage Notes may have been pledged or assigned. The Mortgagee
shall  not have any duty to make any such  inspection  and  shall  not incur any
liability  or  obligation  for not making any such  inspection  or,  once having
undertaken any such inspection,  for making the inspection,  not making the same
carefully or properly,  or for not  completing the same; nor shall the fact that
such inspection may not have been made by the Mortgagee relieve the Mortgagor of
any obligations that it may otherwise have under this Mortgage.

     TWENTY-EIGHTH: Actions and Proceedings. Except as otherwise provided in any
pledge agreements


                                       55









pursuant to which the  Mortgage  Notes may have been  pledged or  assigned,  the
Mortgagee  shall have the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding
brought  with  respect  to the  Mortgaged  Property,  and to bring any action or
proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the Mortgagor,  which the Mortgagee, in
its discretion, feels should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged
Property,  provided  that unless an Event of Default  shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time the Mortgagee  first appears in or brings any such action
or proceeding,  prior to the  Mortgagee's  appearance in or bringing of any such
action or  proceeding,  the  Mortgagee  shall give the  Mortgagor  notice of the
Mortgagee's intention with respect thereto.

     TWENTY   NINTH:   Officers  of  Mortgagee   Not  Liable.   All   covenants,
stipulations,  promises,  agreements and obligations of the Mortgagee  contained
herein shall be deemed to be covenants,  stipulations,  promises, agreements and
obligations  of the Mortgagee and not of any member of the governing body of the
Mortgagee or any  officer,  agent,  servant or employee of the  Mortgagee in his
individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had for any


                                       56









claim based thereon or hereunder against any member of the governing body of the
Mortgagee or any officer, agent, servant or employee of the Mortgagee.

     THIRTIETH: No Charge Against Mortgagee Credit. No provision hereof shall be
construed  to impose a charge  against the general  credit of the  Mortgagee  or
shall impose any personal or pecuniary liability upon any director,  official or
employee of the Mortgagee.

     THIRTY-FIRST:  Mortgagee Not Liable. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Deed,  (a) the Mortgagee  shall not be liable to the Mortgagor or any other
person for any failure of the  Mortgagee  to take action  under this Deed unless
the Mortgagee (i) is requested in writing by an appropriate  Person to take such
action and (ii) is assured of payment of or  reimbursement  for any  expenses in
such action, and (b) except with respect to any action for specific  performance
or any action in the nature of a prohibitory  or mandatory  injunction,  neither
the  Mortgagee  nor any  director  of the  Mortgagee  or any other  official  or
employee of the  Mortgagee  shall be liable to the Mortgagor or any other person
for any action taken by it or by its officers, servants, agents or employees, or
for any


                                       57









failure  to take  action  under  this Deed.  In acting  under  this Deed,  or in
refraining from acting under this Deed, the Mortgagee may  conclusively  rely on
the advice of its legal counsel.

     THIRTY-SECOND. Waivers. In view of the assignment of the Mortgagee's rights
under and  interest in this Deed to the Trustee by the  provisions  of the Trust
Agreement  and in view of any pledge  agreements  pursuant to which the Mortgage
Notes may be pledged or assigned, the Mortgagee shall have no power to waive the
performance  by the Mortgagor of any provision  hereunder or extend the time for
the  correction  of any  default of the  Mortgagor  without  the  consent of the
Trustee to such waiver by the Trustee and by any pledgees  under any such pledge
agreement.

     THIRTY-THIRD.  Waiver of Moratorium and Redemption.  The Mortgagor,  to the
full  extent  that it may  lawfully  do so,  agrees that it will not at any time
insist  upon,  plead or in any way  take  advantage  of and  hereby  waives  any
redemption  or  moratorium  law now or hereafter in force and effect which would
prevent or hinder the  enforcement  of the provisions of this Deed or any rights
or


                                       58









remedies the Mortgagee may have hereunder or by law.

     THIRTY-FOURTH:  Limitation  of Liability.  Notwithstanding  anything to the
contrary  contained in this Mortgage,  no recourse shall be had, whether by levy
or execution or  otherwise,  for the payment of the principal of or interest on,
or other amounts owed hereunder or under any of the Mortgage  Notes,  or for any
claim based on this Mortgage or in respect  thereof,  against any partner of the
Mortgagor or any predecessor,  successor or affiliate of any such partner or any
of their assets (other than from the interest of such partner in the Mortgagor),
or against any principal,  partner,  shareholder,  officer,  director,  agent or
employee of any such partner (other than from the interest of any such person in
such  partner),  nor shall any such  persons be  personally  liable for any such
amount or claims,  or liable for any  deficiency  judgment based thereon or with
respect  thereto,  it being  expressly  understood that the sole remedies of the
Mortgagee with respect to such amounts and claims shall be against the assets of
the Mortgagor,  including the Mortgaged Property, and that all such liability of
the  aforesaid  persons,  except as  otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  is
expressly waived and released as a


                                       59









condition of and as consideration  for the execution of the Mortgage;  provided,
however,  that  (A)  nothing  contained  in this  Mortgage  (including,  without
limitation,  the provisions of this paragraph  Thirty-Fourth) shall constitute a
waiver  of any  indebtedness  of  Mortgagor  evidenced  hereby  or of any of the
Mortgagor's  other   obligations  under  such  other  instruments   executed  in
connection herewith or shall be taken to prevent recourse to and the enforcement
against the Mortgagor,  of all the  liabilities,  obligations  and  undertakings
contained  in this  Mortgage;  (B) this  paragraph  Thirty-Fourth  shall  not be
applicable  to a breach  by any  person  of any  independent  obligation  to the
Mortgagee,  including,  but not limited to any other  obligations  of any Person
under any other  guarantee  or  indemnity  agreement  executed or  delivered  in
connection  herewith or with any pledge agreements  pursuant to which any of the
Mortgage Notes is pledged or assigned and (C) this paragraph Thirty-Fourth shall
not be  applicable  to the active party in the event of (1) fraud by such party,
(2)  misappropriation  of funds or other property by such party or (3) damage to
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof intentionally  inflicted in bad faith
by such party.


                                       60









For the purposes of the  foregoing,  the term  "shareholder"  shall be deemed to
include  the  shareholders  of  any  corporation  which  is a  shareholder  of a
corporation  and the term  "partner"  shall be deemed to include the partners of
any partnership which is a partner of a partnership.

     THIRTY-FIFTH: Satisfaction of Debt. Should the Mortgagor satisfy any of the

under any pledge agreements  pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes are pledged or
assigned,  in the time and manner  heretofore  set forth,  and comply with,  and
execute all  agreements and  stipulations  required  herein,  then the Mortgagee
shall  execute  in its favor the  corresponding  release  and shall  endorse  to
Mortgagor  or its nominee the  respective  Mortgage  Note so  satisfied  without
recourse,  representations  and  warranties,  or at  Mortgagor's  election shall
endorse the same for cancellation purposes only delivering said Mortgage Note so
endorsed to the Mortgagor, except to the extent otherwise provided in any pledge
agreements pursuant to which they have been assigned.
