Holder or Servicer elects to invest funds in such accounts in Permitted
Investments, then the Holder or Servicer, as applicable, shall have liability
for any loss in investments of funds that are invested in Permitted Investments
but no such loss or liability shall affect Borrower's obligations to make all
payments and deposits required to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents.

deposited in the Cash Collateral Account (or as much thereof as the Holder may
reasonably arrange to invest) may be invested in Permitted Investments, and, in
such event, that such Account shall be a so-called "zero balance" account. All
funds in such Account that are invested in a Permitted Investment are deemed to
be held in such Account for all purposes of the Mortgage and the other Loan

that it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Holder to
disburse funds from the Clearing Account or the Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Holder may, at
its option, (i) direct the Deposit Bank to continue to hold the funds in the
Cash Collateral Account and/or (ii) continue from time to time to apply all or
any portion of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account to any payment(s)
which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default, to
the extent and in such order and manner as Holder in its sole discretion may
determine, and/or (iii) direct that the Deposit Bank or Clearing Bank from time
to time disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Cash Collateral
Account or other Collateral then or thereafter held by the Deposit Bank or
Clearing Bank, as applicable, to Holder, in which event Holder may apply the
funds held in the Cash Collateral Account or other Collateral to the Obligations
in any order and in such manner as Holder may determine in its sole discretion.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event o
f Default, Holder may, at any time or from time to time, collect, appropriate,
redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the
Collateral, without notice to Borrower and without the need to institute any
legal action, make demand, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to
enforce its rights.
(d) No failure on the part of Holder to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Note,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided at law or in equity.

CLEARING BANK INSTRUCTION LETTER
___________ __, 1999
Re:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Park Plaza Mall, LLC (the "Borrower") has entered into a Mortgage and
Security Agreement, dated as of April __, 2000 (the "Mortgage"), with FIRST
UNION NATIONAL BANK (together with its successors and assigns, the "Holder"),
pursuant to which the Holder has provided financing to the Borrower secured by
certain mortgages and/or deeds of trust on certain properties owned by the
Borrower, including the property described in the caption of this letter (the
"Property"). The Property is currently being managed by the Landau & Heyman (the
"Manager").
Currently, the Borrower maintains the following account (the "Property
Account") with you:
Name:
Account
The Borrower hereby notifies you that the Holder has required that it
implement certain automatic clearing and processing functions and hereby
instructs you, commencing on [ ], 200 [ ] (the "Sweep Commencement Date"),
to disburse all revenues from the Property ("Revenues") deposited in the
Property Account from time to time in accordance with the following terms and
provisions:
Promptly upon receipt of this letter, you shall establish a post office
box address in which the Borrower shall cause all Revenues in the form of
checks, money orders and similar instruments to be deposited. Within one
Business day (as defined below) of receipt, you, as the "Clearing Bank," shall
receive and process all Revenues and shall deposit the same into the Property
Account referred to above, which Property Account, or an appropriate
substitution or replacement thereof, shall thereafter be referred to as the
"Clearing Account." Checks made payable to the Borrower, the Manager, the
Property or the Clearing Account shall be deemed suitable for deposit in the
Clearing Account. Items deposited with Clearing Bank that are returned for
insufficient or uncollected funds will be redeposited the first time. Items
returned unpaid a second time shall be processed in accordance with the standard
procedures of the Clearing Bank.
The Clearing Account shall be an account of the Borrower but shall be
under the sole dominion and control of the Holder and any servicer (a
"Servicer") or other designee of the
A-1
19
Holder named below or in a subsequent written notice from the Holder.
The Clearing Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of
the Borrower, which number is ______________. You shall hold amounts on deposit
in the Clearing Account as agent for the Holder and shall not commingle such
amounts with any other amounts held by you on behalf of the Holder, the Borrower
or any other person or entity. If, in accordance with standard operating
procedures, the Clearing Account may be established as a trust account for the
benefit of the Holder, Borrower directs that the Clearing Account be maintained
as such an account.
The Borrower hereby notifies the Clearing Bank that, in accordance with
the Mortgage, the Clearing Account and all amounts held therein from time to
time, and all renewals, replacements and substitutions therefor, have been
irrevocably pledged to the Holder as additional security for the loan evidenced
by the Mortgage. In connection with such pledge, the Borrower hereby waives all
right of withdrawal from the Clearing Account.
The Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes you, beginning
on the first business day after the Sweep Commencement Date, to disburse on the
last business day of each week via the ACH System, if available, or otherwise by
wire transfer, all amounts constituting available funds on deposit in the
Clearing Account to the following account:
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
If transferring such amounts by the ACH System and if required by
Clearing Bank, each such transfer shall be initiated by the Holder or by the
Servicer. If the Clearing Bank provides electronic data transfer services, the
Clearing Bank shall provide the Holder and the Servicer access to the Clearing
Bank's electronic data transfer system for purposes of effecting such transfers.
At any time that funds may not be transferred as described above in this
paragraph, the Clearing Bank shall transfer amounts by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.
The instructions set forth herein are irrevocable and are not subject to
modification in any manner, except that the Holder or the Servicer may, by
written notice to you, amend the instructions contained herein.
In the event that the Clearing Bank fails to acknowledge that its
procedures with respect to the Property Account are governed by this letter due
to an objection to the terms hereof or otherwise, the Borrower hereby appoints
the Holder as its attorney-in-fact with full authority to make changes to this
letter and to execute on behalf of the Borrower any new modified letter
acceptable to the proposed Clearing Bank.
Matters not covered by this letter shall be determined in accordance with
the customary procedures of the Clearing Bank and in the event of a conflict
between the terms of this letter and the customary procedures of the Clearing
Bank, the terms of this letter shall govern.
