balance outstanding hereunder; and, the remainder of the Basic Interest
accrued hereunder at the Accrual Rate during such quarter through the

Date interest ("Post Maturity Basic Interest") shall accrue and be

Basic Interest shall be payable upon demand.
(c) Computations. All computations of interest and fees
payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days elapsed.
(d) Deferred Interest. Deferred Interest shall be paid as
follows:
(i) On each quarterly date for the payment of Basic Interest,
Maker shall pay an amount (the "Catch-Up Payment") equal to
the lesser of (i) the aggregate outstanding Deferred Interest
on the last day of the quarter for which such payment is being
made and (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the result of
subtracting from Net Cash Flow Before Debt Service for that
quarter the sum of principal and interest paid on the Senior
Loans by the borrowers thereunder for such period plus an
additional amount equal to twice the Pay Rate Interest for
such period;
(ii) All unpaid Deferred Interest shall be paid on the
Maturity Date; and
(iii) No payment of Deferred Interest may, when added to all
other payments of interest or payments construed as interest,
shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

Interest and Deferred Interest, on each date on which Basic Interest is
payable hereunder, Maker shall pay to Holder interest ("Cash Flow
Contingent Interest") in an amount equal to the amount (if any) by
which ninety percent (90%) of the result of subtracting from Net Cash
Flow Before Debt Service for that quarter the sum of principal and
interest paid on the Senior Loans for such period plus an additional
amount equal to twice the Pay Rate Interest for such period each
calculated as of that date exceeds the Catch-Up Payment paid on that
date by Maker to Holder. Additionally, at the time of the closing of
any impound accounts established pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents,
deposits into which are considered Operating Expenses, Cash Flow
Contingent Interest shall be due to the Holder on the balances in those
accounts except to the extent such balances are paid to the Senior

quarter or other period with respect to which such Basic Interest is
due, showing in reasonable detail and in a format approved by Holder
respective amounts of, and the method of calculating, the Gross
7
Receipts, Gross Income, Operating Expenses, Net Cash Flow, Catch-Up
Amount and Cash Flow Contingent Interest for the preceding calendar
quarter, as well as (if requested by Holder) all data necessary for the
calculation of any such amounts. Maker shall keep and maintain at all
times full and accurate books of account and records adequate to
correctly reflect all such amounts. Such books and records shall be
available for at least five years after the end of the calendar quarter
to which they relate. Holder shall have the right to inspect, copy and
audit such books of account and records during reasonable business
hours, and upon reasonable notice to Maker, for the purpose of
verifying the accuracy of any payments made on account of Cash Flow
Contingent Interest. The costs of any such audit will be paid by
Holder, except that Maker shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
of any such audit which discloses that any amount properly payable by
maker to Holder hereunder exceeded by five percent (5%) or more the
amount actually paid and initially reported by maker as being payable
with respect thereto.
(g) Prorations of Cash Flow Contingent Interest. Cash Flow
Contingent Interest shall be equitably prorated on the basis of a
365-day year for any partial calendar quarter in which the term of the
Loan commences or in which the Note is paid in full. If the payment of
Cash Flow Contingent Interest due on the Maturity Date is made before
the delivery to Holder of the quarterly statement for the then current
calendar quarter, then Maker shall pay to Holder on Maturity Date an
estimate of such amount. Maker shall subsequently deliver to Holder an
operating statement as required by Section 2(f) for the quarter in
which the Maturity Date occurred, and an appropriate adjustment of the
estimated amount previously paid by Maker shall be made by the parties
within ten (10) days after the operating statement for such final
quarter is delivered to Holder.

(i) Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest Defined.
Maker shall pay to Holder, in addition to Basic Interest, Deferred
Interest and Cash Flow Contingent Interest, at the time or times and in
the manner hereinafter described, an amount equal to ninety percent
(90%) of the Net Capital Proceeds resulting from, or determined at the
time of, any of the Triggering Events described below (collectively,
"Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest").
(ii) Events Triggering Payment of Net Capital
Proceeds. Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest shall be due and payable
concurrently with the occurrence of each and every one of the following
events (collectively "Triggering Events", and individually, a
"Triggering Event"):
(A) Project Sale or Financing. The closing
of any Sale of the Project (any such event is hereinafter collectively
referred to as a "Sale or Financing"):
8
(B) Default Occurrence. The occurrence of
any Event of Default which is not fully cured within the period of
time, if any, expressly provided for cure herein, and the acceleration

the Maturity Date or the prepayment by Maker (if permitted hereunder)
of all principal and accrued Basic Interest (including, without
limitation, Deferred Interest) and Cash Flow Contingent Interest

of Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest. Maker shall notify Holder of
the occurrence of a Triggering Event, and shall pay Holder the full
amount of any applicable Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest which is
payable in connection therewith, as follows:
(A) In the case of any Sale or Financing or
the Maturity Occurrence, Maker shall give Holder written notice of any
such Triggering Event not less than seventy five (75) days before the
date such Triggering Event is to occur. Any Capital Proceeds Contingent
Interest due Holder on account of any Sale or Financing or the Maturity
Occurrence shall be paid to Holder on the date such Triggering Event
occurs.
(B) In the case of a Default Occurrence, no
notice of such a Triggering Event need be given by Maker. In such
event, payment of any and all Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest on
account of the Default Occurrence shall be immediately due and payable
upon acceleration of the maturity of the Loan.
(iv) Determination of Net Capital Proceeds. Prior to
the occurrence of a Triggering Event (or, in the event of a Default
Occurrence, within a reasonable time thereafter), the "Net Capital
Proceeds" resulting from such Triggering Event shall be determined as
follows:
(A) Net Capital Proceeds From Sale or
Financing. Except as provided in Section 2(h)(iv)(B) below, in the
event of a Sale or Financing, "Net Capital Proceeds" shall be the
amount which is equal to: (I) either (x) the Gross Capital Proceeds (as
hereinafter defined) realized from the Project, or (y) the fair market
value of the Project determined pursuant to Section 2(h)(v) below, if
Holder in its discretion requires such a determination, minus (II) the
sum of: (aa) reasonable brokerage commissions (excluding any payments
to any Affiliate of Maker to the extent such payments exceed those
which would have been due as commissions to a non-Affiliate broker
rendering identical services), title insurance premiums, documentary
transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording charges, appraisal fees,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, and sales taxes (if any), in each
case actually paid or payable by Maker in connection with the Sale or
Financing, plus (bb) all payments of principal and Deferred Interest
paid to Holder an account of this Note from the proceeds of such Sale
or Financing, plus (cc) an amount equal to all
9
payments of principal and interest on the Senior Loans made from the
proceeds of such Sale or Financing, plus (dd) any amount paid as Yield
Maintenance Premium as a result of such Sale or Financing. For purposes
of this Section 2(h), "Gross Capital Proceeds" shall mean the gross
proceeds of whatever form or nature payable directly or indirectly to
or for the benefit or account of Maker in connection with such Sale or
Financing, including, without limitation: cash; the outstanding balance
of any financing which will remain as a lien or encumbrance against the
Project or any portion thereof following such Sale or Financing (but
only in the case of a Sale, and not in the case of an encumbrance); and
the cash equivalent of the fair market value of any non-cash
consideration, including the present value of any promissory note
received as part of the proceeds of such Sale or Financing (valued at a
market rate of interest, as determined by an independent investment
banker designated by Holder).
(B) Net Capital Proceeds In Connection With
a Default or Maturity Occurrence. In the event of a Default Occurrence
or the Maturity Occurrence when no Sale or Financing has occurred, the
"Net Capital Proceeds" shall equal: (I) the fair market value of the
Project determined as of the date of such Triggering Event in
accordance with Section 2(h)(v) below, minus (II) the sum of (aa) the
outstanding principal balance plus Deferred Merest on the Note plus
(bb) the outstanding principal balance of, and accrued but unpaid
interest on, the Senior Loans.
(v) Determination of Fair Market Value. The fair
market value of the Project shall be determined for purposes of this
Note as follows:
(A) Partial Sale. In the event of a Sale of
a portion of the Project, Holder shall select an experienced and
reputable appraiser to prepare a written appraisal report of the fair
market value of the Project in accordance with clause (C) below, and
the appraised fair market value submitted to Holder by such appraiser
shall be conclusive for purposes of this Note.
(B) Other Occurrences. In all other
circumstances the fair market value of the Project shall be deemed to
equal the result of dividing the Net Cash Flow Before Debt Service for
the immediately preceding fiscal year by ten percent (10%). However, if
the Net Cash Flow Before Debt Service for the immediately preceding
fiscal year has been lowered because of unusually high Operating
Expenses during such fiscal year the fair market value of the Project
may, at the option of the Maker be determined by dividing by ten
percent (10%) the mean average of the Net Cash Flow Before Debt
Service of the Project for the 3 immediately preceding fiscal years of
the Project.
(C) Appraisal Standards and Assumptions. In
making any determination by appraisal of fair market value, the
appraiser(s) shall assume that the improvements then located on the
Project constitute the highest and best use of the property. If the
Triggering Event is a Sale or Financing, the appraiser(s) shall take
(A)
10
the sales price into account, although such sales price shall not be
determinative of fair market value. Each appraiser selected hereunder
shall be an independent MAI-designated appraiser with not less than ten
years' experience in commercial real estate appraisal in the general
geographical area where the Project is located.
(vi) Effect on Holder's Approval Rights. Nothing
contained in this Section 2(h) shall be deemed or construed to waive,
restrict, impair, or in any manner affect Holder's rights hereunder or
under any provisions of the Debt Papers to consent (or withhold its
consent) to: any prepayment of the Loan in whole or in part; sales or
other transfers of all or any portion of the Project or any interest
therein; sales or other transfers of any ownership interests in Maker;
any refinancing of all or any portion of the Loan; any junior
financing; or, any other matters which require Holder's consent.
(vii) Statement, Books and Records. With each payment
of Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest, Maker shall furnish to Holder
a statement setting forth Maker's proposed calculation of Net Capital
Proceeds and Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest and shall provide a
detailed breakdown of all items necessary for such calculation. For a
period of five years after each payment of Capital Proceeds Contingent
Interest, Maker shall keep and maintain full and accurate books and
records adequate to correctly reflect each such item. Said books and
records shall be available for Holder's inspection, copying and audit
during reasonable business hours following reasonable notice for the
purpose of verifying the accuracy of the payments made on account of
Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest. The costs of any such audit will
be paid by Holder, except that Maker shall pay all reasonable costs and
expenses of any such audit which discloses that any amount properly
payable by Maker to Holder hereunder exceeded by five percent (5%) or
more the amount actually paid and initially reported by maker as being
payable with respect thereto.
(viii) Negative Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Holder shall
not be responsible or liable in any respect to Maker or any other
Person for any reduction in the fair market value of the Project or for
any contingency, condition or occurrence that might result in a
negative number for Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest. If at any
time it is calculated, Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest shall be a
negative amount, no Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest shall at that
time be payable to Holder, but Holder shall in no way be liable for any
such negative amount and there shall be no deduction or offset for such
negative amount at any time when Capital Proceeds Contingent Interest
shall be subsequently calculated.
(ix) No payment of Capital Proceeds Contingent
Interest may, when added to all other payments of interest or payments
construed as interest, shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.
11
3. Usury Savings Clause. The provisions of this Section 3 shall govern
and control over any irreconcilably inconsistent provision contained in this
Note or in any other document evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced
hereby. The Holder hereof shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply
as interest hereon (for purposes of this Section 3. the word "interest" shall be
deemed to include Basic Interest, Additional Interest and any other sums treated
as interest under applicable law governing matters of usury and unlawful
interest), any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate (hereinafter defined)
and, in the event the Holder ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any
such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed a
partial prepayment of principal and shall be treated hereunder as such; and, if
the principal of this Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith
be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable,
under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Maker and the
Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i)
characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term of this Note; provided, that if this Note is paid and performed in full
prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest
received for the actual period of existence hereof exceeds the Highest Lawful
Rate, the Holder shall refund to Maker the amount of such excess or credit the
amount of such excess against the principal of this Note, and, in such event,
the Holder shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for
contracting for, charging, or receiving interest in excess of the Highest Lawful
Rate.
4. Payments.
(a) Interest and Principal. Maker promises to pay to the
Holder hereof Basic Interest, Deferred Interest and Additional Interest
as, in the respective amounts, and at the respective times provided in
Section 2 hereinabove. Each payment of Basic Interest (including
without limitation, Deferred Interest), and Additional Interest on, or
any other amounts of any kind with respect to, this Note shall be made
by the Maker to the Holder hereof at its office in Phoenix, Arizona (or
at any other place which the Holder may hereafter designate for such
purpose in a notice duly given to the Maker hereunder), not later than
noon, Eastern Standard Time, on the date due thereof; and funds
received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the
Holder on the next following business day. Whenever any payment to be
made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a date which is not a
business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable at the
applicable rate during such extension.
(b) Late Payment Charges. If any amount of Interest, principal
or any other charge or amount which becomes due and payable under this
Note is not paid and received by the Holder within five business days
after the date it first becomes due and payable, Maker shall pay to the
Holder hereof a late payment charge in an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the full amount of such late payment, whether such late payment
is received prior to or after the expiration of the ten-day cure period
set forth in Section 8(a). Maker recognizes that in the event any
payment secured hereby (other than the principal payment due upon
maturity of the Note,
12
whether by acceleration or otherwise) is not made when due, Holder will
incur extra expenses in handling the delinquent payment, the exact
amount of which is impossible to ascertain, but that a charge of five
percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment would be a
reasonable estimate of the expenses so incurred. Therefore, if any such
payment is not received when due and payable, Maker shall without
prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of the trustee
under those certain Junior Deeds of Trust (or Junior Mortgages, or
Junior Deeds to Secure Debt), Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security
Agreement, Financing Statement and Fixture Filing of even date herewith
or Holder pay to Holder to cover expenses incurred in handling the
delinquent payment, an amount calculated at five percent (5%) of the
amount of the delinquent payment.
(c) No Prepayment. Maker shall have the right to prepay this
Note at any time, but only subject to the requirements and conditions
set forth below. If under any circumstances whatsoever (other than
pursuant to Section 3 above) this Note is paid in whole or in part,
whether voluntarily, following acceleration after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, with the consent of Holder, by Holder's application
of any condemnation or insurance proceeds to amounts due under the
Note, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not such payment
prior to the Stated Maturity Date results from the Holder's exercise of
its rights to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, then Maker
shall pay to the Holder the Yield Maintenance Premium (defined
hereinbelow) in addition to paying the entire unpaid principal balance
of this Note and all Interest which has accrued but is unpaid except
with the written consent of the Holder.
A Yield Maintenance Premium in an amount equal to the grater
of (A) one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount being prepaid, and
(B) the positive excess of (1) the present value ("PV") of all future
installments of principal and interest due pursuant to Section 4(a) of
this Note absent any such prepayment including the principal amount due
at the Stated Maturity Date (collectively, "All Future Payments"),
discounted at an interest rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the
Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index published during the second full
week preceding the date on which such Yield Maintenance Premium is
payable for instruments having a maturity coterminous with the
remaining term of this Note, and (b) One Hundred Forty (140) basis
points, over (2) the then outstanding principal balance hereof
immediately before such prepayment [(PV of All Future Payments)
(Principal balance at the time of prepayment) = Yield Maintenance
Premium]. "Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index" shall mean the
average yield for "This Week" as reported by the Federal Reserve Board
in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519). If there is no
Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index for instruments having a
maturity coterminous with the remaining term of this Note, then the
index shall be equal to the weighted average yield to maturity of the
Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Indices with maturities next longer
and shorter than such remaining average life to the maturity,
calculated by averaging (and rounding upward to the nearest 1/100 of 1%
per annum, if the average is not such a multiple) the yields of the
relevant Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Indices
13
(rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1% with any figure of
1/200 of 1% or above rounded upward). In the event that any Yield
Maintenance Premium is due hereunder, Holder shall deliver to Maker a
statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Yield
Maintenance Premium and, provided that Holder shall have in good faith
applied the formula described above, Maker shall not have the right to
challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any
such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may
be made by Holder on any day during the thirty (30) day period
preceding the date of such prepayment. Holder shall not be obligated or
required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at
the Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index or otherwise as a condition
to receiving the Yield Maintenance Premium. No Yield Maintenance
Premium or premium shall be due or payable in connection with any
prepayment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note made on or after
any date after June 1, 2005. In addition to the aforesaid Yield
Maintenance Premium if, upon any such prepayment (whether prior to or
after any date that is after June 1, 2005, the aforesaid prior written
notice has not been received by Holder, the Yield Maintenance Premium
shall be increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) thirty (30)
days' unearned interest computed in the outstanding principal balance
of this Note, so prepaid and (ii) unearned interest computed on the
outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid for the period
from, and including, the date of prepayment through the otherwise
Stated Maturity Date of this Note.
Without limiting the scope of the foregoing provisions, the
provisions of this paragraph shall constitute, within the meaning of
any applicable state statute, both a waiver of any right Maker may have
to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without premium or charge,
upon acceleration of the maturity of the Note, or otherwise, and an
agreement by Maker to pay the prepayment charge described in this Note,
whether such prepayment is voluntary or upon or following any
acceleration of this Note, or otherwise, and for such purpose Maker has
separately initialed this provision in the space provided below, and
Maker hereby declares that Holder's agreement to make the Loan to Maker
at the interest rate and for the term set forth in the Note constitutes
adequate consideration, of individual weight, for this waiver and
agreement by Maker.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else in this Note to the
contrary, it is agreed that in the event this Note becomes due and
payable as a result of the termination of all of the Property
Management Agreements, Maker shall not be subject to the Yield
Maintenance Premiums or other prepayment premiums contemplated herein
and Maker shall only be required to repay the outstanding principal
balance of this Note and accrued but unpaid Basic Interest and Deferred
Interest through the date of such prepayment, it being agreed that in
such event, Maker shall not be required to pay any Capital Proceeds
Contingent Interest or Cash Flow Contingent Interest.

RESULTING FROM THE CLAIMS OF ANY PARTY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF
THE DEBT PAPERS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, EXCEPT FOR
LOSSES CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY, AND REIMBURSE EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY
EXPENSES (INCLUDING THE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS
17
OF LEGAL COUNSEL) REASONABLY INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR OR DEFENSE OF ANY ACTUAL OR
THREATENED CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY
SUCH COSTS OF RESPONDING TO DISCOVERY REQUEST OR SUBPOENAS), REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER HOLDER OR SUCH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS A PARTY THERETO.
WITHOUT DEROGATING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20 BELOW, IT IS
ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED BY MAKER THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HEREUNDER ARE IN ADDITION TO AND CUMULATIVE WITH
ALL OTHER RIGHTS OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. WITH REFERENCE TO THE
PROVISIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 6(g) FOR PAYMENT BY MAKER OF
ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN ANY ACTION OR
CLAIM BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY, MAKER SHALL, IF IT ADMITS LIABILITY
HEREUNDER TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, DILIGENTLY DEFEND SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY AND DILIGENTLY CONDUCT THE DEFENSE. IF HOLDER OR ANY OTHER SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY DESIRES TO ENGAGE SEPARATE COUNSEL, IT MAY DO SO AT
ITS OWN EXPENSE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH LIMITATION ON THE
OBLIGATION OF MAKER TO PAY THE FEES OF SEPARATE COUNSEL FOR SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL NOT APPLY IF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HAS
RETAINED SAID SEPARATE COUNSEL BECAUSE OF A REASONABLE BELIEF THAT
MAKER IS NOT DILIGENTLY DEFENDING IT AND/OR NOT DILIGENTLY CONDUCTING
THE DEFENSE AND SO NOTIFIES MAKER. THE OBLIGATIONS OF MAKER UNDER THIS
SECTION 6(g) SHALL SURVIVE REPAYMENT IN FULL OF THE INDEBTEDNESS
EVIDENCED HEREBY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED, IT IS THE INTENT OF
THIS SECTION 6(g) THAT THE MAKER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM LOSSES OCCASIONED BY THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(d) Sale of Interests in the Project or in the Maker. Without
obtaining the prior written consent of Holder (which Holder may

other charges payable pursuant to the Debt Papers shall, at the option of the
Holder hereof and without demand or notice of any kind to the undersigned or any

and all rights
21
and remedies available at law or in equity and also any and all rights and

11. Captions. Any headings or captions in this Note are inserted for
convenience of reference only, and they shall not be deemed to constitute a part
hereof, nor shall they be used to construe or interpret the provisions of this
Note.
12. Waiver.
(a) Maker, for itself and for its successors, transferees and
assigns and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waives diligence,
presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and
nonpayment, dishonor and notice of dishonor, notice of the intention to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other demands or notices of
any and every kind whatsoever (except only for any notice of default
expressly provided for in Section 8 of this Note or in the Security

payments coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time in the
sole discretion of the Holder hereof without in any way affecting or
diminishing their liability hereunder.
(b) No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or
any payment becoming due or payable hereunder, which may be made by
agreement with any Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of
this Note, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability under this Note, either in whole or in
part, of the Maker if it is not a party to such agreement.
(c) No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
shall be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall the

the foregoing, the failure of the Holder hereof promptly after the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder to exercise its right to
declare the indebtedness remaining unmatured hereunder to be
immediately due and payable shall not constitute a waiver of such right
while such Event of Default
22
continues nor a waiver of such right in connection with any future
Event of Default on the part of the undersigned.
13. Payment of Costs. The undersigned hereby expressly agrees that upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Note, the undersigned will pay

not indebtedness of, and is not secured, whether directly or indirectly, by any
collateral or property owned or operated by the Borrowers, or any of them.
