PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION By: /s/ ---------------------------- Title: Vice President ------------------------- THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA By: /s/ ---------------------------- Title: Vice President ------------------------- EQK REALTY INVESTORS I By: /s/ William G. Brown, Jr. ---------------------------- Title: Vice President ------------------------- 4 EQK REALTY INVESTORS I SECRETARY'S CERTIFICATE The undersigned, being the duly elected Secretary of EQK Realty Investors I, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), does hereby certify that the following resolutions were unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Trustees held on December 12, 1995 and remain in full force and effect as of this date: Whereas, the Trust's existing financing with The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") and PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") matures on December 15, 1995; Whereas, both Prudential and PNC have presented the Trust with proposals to extend the maturity date of their respective loans to December 15, 1996; Whereas, Harrisburg East Mall remains as the only real estate asset of the Trust, the Trust has previously established its need to sell Harrisburg East Mall at such a time as a buyer willing and able to pay a reasonable price therefor can be identified and the Trust's adviser has identified and continues to work with entities which may prove to be capable buyers of such property; Whereas, the continuing uncertainty surrounding the use or assignment of the Wanamaker building at Harrisburg East Mall will likely have to be resolved before the true interest of such potential buyers and the price they would offer can be determined; Whereas, such uncertainty also seriously impacts the ability of the Trust to refinance its existing debt with another lender and any new lender would in any event require the Trust to undertake a due diligence effort exposing the Trust to substantial costs which may not be warranted by the likely remaining holding period of the property; Whereas, the Declaration of Trust provides in Section 5.2(i) that the borrowings of the Trust shall not exceed 50% of the Trust's Total Assets, as therein defined (not including intangibles) unless and until the Trustees determine that the borrowings in excess of such percentage are in the best interest of the Trust; Whereas, at the time of the 1992 extension and restructuring of the Prudential and PNC loans, the Trustees determined that due to the decline in the value of the Trust's Total Assets, the borrowings of the Trust had at some point in time previously exceeded and at the time of such 1992 extension and restructuring exceeded 50% of the value of the Trust's Total Assets; 5 Whereas, the Trustees have determined that the continuation of the Trust's current borrowings with Prudential and PNC, as recently reduced by application of the net proceeds from the Trust's sale of Castleton Park, is in the best interest of the Trust as it is not advisable to attempt a refinancing of such debt at the current time given the uncertainty as to the disposition or use of the Wanamker building and the expected short holding period of such property; Whereas, the total of the Prudential and PNC loans, together with such other items as must be considered "borrowings" (including deferred fees of the Trust's adviser), does not exceed the 75% limitation set forth in the Indenture of Trust; and Whereas, in light of the factors outlined above, the terms and conditions proposed by Prudential and PNC appear reasonable and in the best interests of the Trust. IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Trustees, including the Independent Trustee, hereby approve the extension of the Prudential loan for a period of one year, upon terms and conditions consistent with those outlined in the attached letter from Drinker Biddle & Reath and the accompanying draft loan application document or such other terms and conditions as the Trust's adviser may deem to be in the best interests of the Trust; FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, hereby approve the extension of the PNC loan for a period of one year, upon terms and conditions consistent with those outlined in the attached Summary of Terms and conditions from PNC or such other terms and conditions as the Trust's adviser may deem to be in the best interest of the Trust; FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Trustees find it appropriate and in the best interest of the Trust for the borrowings of the Trust to exceed 50% of the value of the Trust's Total Assets (not including intangibles), subject to the 75% limitation set forth in Section 5.2(i) of the Indenture of Trust; FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Trust's adviser and officers are authorized to employ the services of such attorneys. surveyors, title examiners and other third party service providers as may be necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by the foregoing resolutions, and to pay reasonable fees for their services; FURTHER RESOLVED, that as the Trust's adviser has waived any right to a fee for handling the loan extensions hereby approved, the adviser shall be reimbursed for in-house legal fees at a rate of $100 per hour plus expenses incurred in effecting such transactions; FURTHER RESOLVED, that Phillip E. Stephens, Gregory R. Greenfield, William G. Brown, Jr., Gary L. Werkheiser of Linda K. Schear, as officers of the 6 Trust, each acting alone, be and hereby are authorized to take such actions and execute such documents on behalf of the Trust as they may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the foregoing resolutions including, but not limited to extension agreements, notes, mortgages and affidavits. FURTHER RESOLVED, that all documents executed by any of said officers on behalf of the Trust shall be binding on and enforceable against the Trust as if such documents were executed by each of the Trustees. This 15th day of December, 1995. /s/ Linda K. Schear ------------------------------------ Linda K.

The Restated Note, Loan Agreement Amendment, Disclosure and the Estoppel Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "Loan Extension Documents." I have acted as inside counsel to EQK in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Loan Extension Documents. This opinion is based on my knowledge of the EQK documents, the conduct of its business and the validity and binding effect of such documents under the authorizing documents of EQK and the laws of the State of Georgia. In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the executed Loan Extension Documents and have also reviewed the following: 1.

NEITHER THE TRUSTEES, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS OR AGENTS OF THE TRUST SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRUST, AND ALL PERSONS SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO THE TRUST ESTATE OF EQK REALTY INVESTORS I FOR THE PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE OR OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRUST. 9 PNC and Ballard Spahr December 15, 1995 page two 2. Trustees Regulations dated as of October 11, 1984, as amended. 3. Trustees Resolutions dated as of December 12, 1995. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that: a.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Extension Documents by EQK will not violate (i) any provision of the Organizational Documents relating to EQK; (ii) to my knowledge, any order, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect applicable to EQK; or (iii) to my knowledge, any instrument under which EQK is bound. c. No consent, approval or other authorization of or by any court, administrative agency or governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Loan Extension Documents by EQK. d. To my knowledge, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against EQK which, if determined adversely to EQK, would bring into question the validity of the Loan Extension Documents or the ability of EQK to perform its obligations thereunder. The opinions set forth herein are subject to the qualification that the enforcement of the is subject to applicable fraudulent conveyance, creditors rights, bankruptcy, reorganization and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement or creditors' rights or the enforcement of the security provided by such instruments.

("Solomon") a certain Zero Coupon Mortgage Note due December 18, 1992 in the face amount of $94,719,904 (the "Zero Coupon Note"). The Zero Coupon Note was amended and restated in its entirety by an Amended and Restated Note Agreement dated as of February 4, 1988 by and between EQK and Solomon (the "First Amended Note"). Immediately following EQK's execution and delivery of the First Amended Note, the First Amended Note was endorsed to, and all of the security therefore was assigned to, Prudential in accordance with a certain Note and Mortgage Purchase and Sale Agreement between Solomon and Prudential. On or about December 16, 1992, the First Amended Note was partially paid and was amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Note dated December 16, 1992 in the principal amount of $75,688,720 (the "Second Amended Note") which, inter alia, extended the Maturity Date of the Second Amended Note to December 15, 1995. On December 8, 1995, the Second Amended Note was partially prepaid and all collateral relating to the Castleton Property was released by Prudential. Prior to the date hereof, Prudential has also released all collateral relating to the Peachtree Property. The Second Amended Note is presently secured by: 1. An Amended and Restated Open-End Mortgage and Security Agreement (Harrisburg Mall) dated as of December 15, 1992 from EQK to Prudential (the "Amended Harrisburg Mortgage") encumbering certain property located in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania (the "Harrisburg Property"); the Amended Harrisburg Mortgage was recorded on December 22, 1992 in The Recorder's Office of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania (the "Dauphin Recorder") in Book 1886, page 298, et seq.; 31 2. An Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents and Rental Collection Agreement dated as of December 15, 1992 by and between EQK, Prudential and First Union National Bank of Georgia, as Rental Collection Agent (the "Rental Collection Agent") with respect to the Harrisburg Property (the "Harrisburg Assignment"); the Harrisburg Assignment was recorded on December 22, 1992 by the Dauphin Recorder in Book 1886, page 373; et seq.; 3.

The Intercreditor Agreement was recorded on December 22, 1992 by the Dauphin Recorder in Book 1886, Page 459 et seq. Pursuant to a letter application dated December 15, 1995 (the "Application"), EQK has requested Prudential to extend the maturity of the Second Amended Note and to modify certain of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
