Lender in payment or satisfaction of such indebtedness (including receipt by
Lender of Towers Note Principal Reduction Fees as provided in Paragraph 9.3
hereof) shall be credited against sums due under both the Note and the Towers
Note and/or any judgment entered thereon.
9.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph

Towers Note, other than through the application of Towers Note Principal
Reduction Fees against the principal balance thereof, as provided in Paragraph
9.3 hereof.
9.3 The principal balance of the Towers Note
shall be repaid as follows: At such time as Borrower conveys a Unit in Suites
Phase II, ▇▇▇ Building One, ▇▇▇ Building Two, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Building Addition, or

to Lender under the Towers Note in an amount equal to $200 (the "Towers Note
Principal Reduction Fee"). The Towers Note Principal Reduction Fee shall be
paid to Lender simultaneously with the payment of the Suites Phase II Release
Fee, ▇▇▇ Building One Release Fee, ▇▇▇ Building Two Release Fee, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Building Addition Release Fee or the ▇▇▇ Building Addition Release Fee, as the
case may be, until the Towers Note is paid in full, whereupon the Towers Note
Principal Reduction Fee shall no longer be required to be paid in connection
with the foregoing described release fees. Simultaneously with the execution
of this Thirteenth Amendment, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
appropriate modifications to the ▇▇▇ Building One Deed of Trust (the "Second

which shall incorporate the provisions of this Paragraph 9.3 relating to the
payment of the Towers Note Principal Reduction Fee together with the release
fees payable by Borrower under such deeds of trust as prerequisites to the

remaining balance of the Towers Note, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest and all other sums due and owing therein, shall be due and payable in

PROMISSORY NOTE
U.S. $700,000.00 December 13, 1995
Phoenix, Arizona
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned PREFERRED EQUITIES
CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to FINOVA CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Lender"), or order, at such place as the
holder of this Note ("Holder") may from time to time designate in writing, in
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of up to SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS (U.S. $700,000.00), or so much thereof as
has been disbursed and not repaid, together with interest on the unpaid
principal balance from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until
paid, as more fully provided for below.
Interest due under this Note shall (a) accrue daily on the
basis of the actual number of days in the computation period, (b) be calculated
on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, and (c) be payable monthly in
arrears on the later of (i) ten (10) days after Lender mails an invoice or
statement therefor to Maker or (ii) the due date set forth in said invoice or
statement. Interest shall accrue initially at an annual interest rate
("Initial Interest Rate") equal to Prime (as hereinafter defined) in effect on
the date of the initial advance of the loan evidenced by this Note ("Initial
Prime") plus 2-1/4% per annum, subject to adjustment on each Interest Rate
Change Date (as hereinafter defined), but in no event to exceed the maximum
contract rate permitted under the Applicable Usury Law (as hereinafter
defined). The interest rate shall change on each Interest Rate Change Date by
adding to or subtracting from the Initial Interest Rate, as the case may be,
the change, if any, between Initial Prime and Prime in effect on the applicable
Interest Rate Change Date. As used in this Note, the following capitalized
terms have the meaning set forth opposite them below:
"Prime" shall mean the rate of interest publicly
announced, from time to time, by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York
("Citibank"), as the corporate base rate of interest charged by
Citibank to its most creditworthy commercial borrowers notwithstanding
the fact that some borrowers of Citibank may borrow from Citibank at
rates of less than such announced Prime rate; and
"Interest Rate Change Date" means (a) the first
business day of Citibank, N.A., in New York, New York, during the
calendar month following the date of the initial advance of the loan
evidenced by this Note and (b) the first business day of Citibank,
N.A., during each successive month thereafter.
The principal sum of this Note shall be repaid in the manner
set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the applicable provisions
of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
________________ Payments of principal and/or interest shall, at the option of
Holder, earn interest after they are due at a rate ("Overdue Rate") equal to
(a) 2% per annum above the rate otherwise payable hereunder or (b) the maximum
contract rate permitted under the Applicable Usury Law, whichever of (a) or (b)
is lesser. Furthermore, in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as the term "Event of Default" is defined in the Loan Agreement) the unpaid
principal balance of this Note shall, at the option of Holder, accrue interest
at the Overdue Rate.
24
This Note is executed pursuant to that certain Amendment No.
13 to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith
between Maker and Lender (such Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, as amended, the "Loan Agreement"). All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan
Agreement, the applicable provisions of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
All payments made under this Note shall be applied first
against amounts due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, other than principal
and interest; second, against interest then due under this Note; and third,
against the principal of this Note.
In the event any installment of principal and/or interest
required to be made in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby is not
paid when due and, except in the case of the final installment, for which no
grace period is allowed, such default continues for five days after notice
thereof to Maker or an Event of Default occurs, Holder may, at its option,
without notice or demand, declare immediately due and payable the entire unpaid
principal balance hereof, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all
other charges owing in connection with the loan evidenced hereby.
The contracted for rate of interest of the loan contemplated
hereby, without limitation, shall consist of the following: (i) the interest
rate, calculated and applied to the principal balance of this Note in
accordance with the provisions of this Note; (ii) Overdue Rate, calculated and
applied to the amounts due under this Note in accordance with the provisions
hereof; (iii) Mortgage Loan Commitment Fee as to the Towers Advances; and (iv)
all Additional Sums (as hereinafter defined), if any. Maker agrees to pay an
effective contracted for rate of interest which is the sum of the above
referenced elements.
All fees, charges, goods, things in action or any other sums
or things of value (other than amounts described in the immediately previous
paragraph), paid or payable by Maker (collectively, the "Additional Sums"),
whether pursuant to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Documents or any
other documents or instruments in any way pertaining to this lending
transaction, or otherwise with respect to this lending transaction, that under
any applicable law may be deemed to be interest with respect to this lending
transaction, for the purpose of any applicable law that may limit the maximum
amount of interest to be charged with respect to this lending transaction,
shall be payable by Maker as, and shall be deemed to be, additional interest,
and for such purposes only, the agreed upon and "contracted for rate of
interest" of this lending transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the
rate of interest resulting from the Additional Sums.
This Note is not prepayable in whole or in part, except as
specifically provided in the Loan Agreement.
In the event that Holder institutes legal proceedings to
enforce this Note and Holder is the prevailing party in such proceeding, Maker
agrees to pay Holder, in addition to any indebtedness due and unpaid, all costs
and expenses of such proceedings, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees.
Holder shall not by any act or omission or commission be deemed
to waive any
-2-
25
of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed
by an authorized officer of Holder and then only to the extent specifically set
forth therein; a waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as continuing or
as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy on any other occasion. All
remedies conferred upon Holder by this Note or any other instrument or
agreement connected herewith or related hereto shall be cumulative and none is
exclusive and such remedies may be exercised concurrently or consecutively at
Holder's option.
Every person or entity at any time liable for the payment of
the indebtedness evidenced hereby waives: presentment for payment, protest and
demand; notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note; and
trial by jury in any litigation arising out of, relating to or connected with
this Note or any instrument given as security herefor. Every such person or
entity further consents that Holder may renew or extend the time of payment of
any part or the whole of the indebtedness at any time and from time to time at
the request of any other person or entity liable therefor. Any such renewals
or extensions may be made without notice to any person or entity liable for the
payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
This Note is given and accepted as evidence of indebtedness
only and not in payment or satisfaction of any indebtedness or obligation.
Time is of the essence with respect to all of Maker's
obligations and agreements under this Note.
This Note and all of the provisions, conditions, promises and
covenants hereof shall be binding in accordance with the terms hereof upon
Maker, its successors and assigns, provided nothing herein shall be deemed
consent to any assignment restricted or prohibited by the terms of the Loan
Agreement. If more than one person or other entity has executed this Note as
Maker, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several.
This Note has been executed and delivered in Phoenix, Arizona,
and the obligations of Maker hereunder shall be performed in Phoenix, Arizona.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND,
TO THE EXTENT THEY PREEMPT THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, THE LAWS OF THE UNITED
STATES. Maker (a) hereby irrevocably submits itself to the process,
jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County,
and to the process, jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court
for Arizona, for the purposes of suit, action or other proceedings arising out
of or relating to this Note or the subject matter hereof brought by Holder and
(b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby waives and agrees
not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise in any such suit, action
or proceeding any claim that Maker is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper.
It is the intent of the parties to comply with the usury law
("Applicable Usury Law") applicable pursuant to the terms of the preceding
paragraph or such other usury law which is applicable if the law chosen by the
parties is not. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment
hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Note or such
documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of
the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law. In the event
(a) any such excess of interest otherwise
-3-
26
would be contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise in
connection with the loan evidenced hereby, or (b) the maturity of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note is accelerated in whole or in part, or (c)
all or part of the principal or interest of this Note shall be prepaid, so that
under any of such circumstance the amount of interest contracted for, shared or
received in connection with the loan evidenced hereby, would exceed the maximum
contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, then in any such event (1)
the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (2) neither Maker
nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof
will be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is
in excess of the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law,
(3) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a
credit against the then unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Maker, at
Holder's option, and (4) the effective rate of interest will be automatically
reduced to the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Applicable Usury
Law. It is further agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
that to the extent permitted by the Applicable Usury Law: (x) all calculations
of interest which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate
would exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law
shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the
period of the full stated term of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at
any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise in
connection with such loan; and (y) in the event that the effective rate of
interest on the loan should at any time exceed the maximum contract rate
allowed under the Applicable Usury Law, such excess interest that would
otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the
Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Holder from time to time, if and when the
effective interest rate on the loan otherwise falls below the maximum amount
permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, to the extent that interest paid to the
date of calculation does not exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the
Applicable Usury Law, until the entire amount of interest which would have
otherwise been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable
Usury Law has been paid in full. Maker further agrees that should the maximum
contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law be increased at any time
hereafter because of a change in the law, then to the extent not prohibited by
the Applicable Usury Law, such increases shall apply to all indebtedness
evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred; but, again to the extent not
prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, should the maximum contract rate
permitted by the Applicable Usury Law be decreased because of a change in the
law, such decreases shall not apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby
regardless of when incurred.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the
provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control.

The principal sum of this Note shall be repaid in the manner

at the Overdue Rate.
29
This Note is executed pursuant to that certain Amendment No.

All payments made under this Note shall be applied first

other charges owing in connection with the loan evidenced hereby.

interest which is the sum of the above referenced elements.

or things of value (other than amounts described in the immediately previous
paragraph), paid or payable by Maker (collectively, the "Additional Sums"),
whether pursuant to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Documents or any
other documents or instruments in any way pertaining to this lending
transaction, or otherwise with respect to this lending transaction, that under

transaction, for the purpose of any applicable law that may limit the maximum
amount of interest to be charged with respect to this lending transaction,
shall be payable by Maker as, and shall be deemed to be, additional interest,
and for such purposes only, the agreed upon and "contracted for rate of
interest" of this lending transaction shall be deemed to be increased by the
rate of interest resulting from the Additional Sums.
This Note is not prepayable in whole or in part, except as
specifically provided in the Loan Agreement.
In the event that Holder institutes legal proceedings to
enforce this Note and Holder is the prevailing party in such proceeding, Maker
agrees to pay Holder, in addition to any indebtedness due and unpaid, all costs
and expenses of such proceedings, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees.
-2-

Holder shall not by any act or omission or commission be
deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be
in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Holder and then only to the
extent specifically set forth therein; a waiver on one occasion shall not be

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND,

STATES. Maker (a) hereby irrevocably submits itself to the process,
jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County,
and to the process, jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court
for Arizona, for the purposes of suit, action or other proceedings arising out

agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent

and (y) in the event that the effective rate of interest on the loan should at
any time exceed the maximum contract rate allowed under the Applicable Usury
Law, such excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there

from time to time, if and when the effective interest rate on the loan
otherwise falls below the maximum amount permitted by the Applicable Usury Law,
to the extent that interest paid to the date of calculation does not exceed the
maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, until the entire
amount of interest which would have otherwise been collected had there been no
ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full. Maker
further agrees that should the maximum contract rate permitted by the
Applicable Usury Law be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned PREFERRED EQUITIES
CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to FINOVA CAPITAL

holder of this Note ("Holder") may from time to time designate in writing, in
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of up to TWO
MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS (U.S. $2,100,000.00), or so
much thereof as has been disbursed and not repaid, together with interest on
the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding from the date hereof
until paid, as more fully provided for below.
Interest due under this Note shall (a) accrue daily on the
basis of the actual number of days in the computation period, (b) be calculated
on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, and (c) be payable monthly in
arrears on the later of (i) ten (10) days after Lender mails an invoice or

the date of the initial advance of the loan evidenced by this Note ("Initial
Prime") plus 2-1/4% per annum, subject to adjustment on each Interest Rate
Change Date (as hereinafter defined), but in no event to exceed the maximum
contract rate permitted under the Applicable Usury Law (as hereinafter
defined). The interest rate shall change on each Interest Rate Change Date by
adding to or subtracting from the Initial Interest Rate, as the case may be,
the change, if any, between Initial Prime and Prime in effect on the applicable
Interest Rate Change Date. As used in this Note, the following capitalized
terms have the meaning set forth opposite them below:
"Prime" shall mean the rate of interest publicly
announced, from time to time, by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York
("Citibank"), as the corporate base rate of interest charged by
Citibank to its most creditworthy commercial borrowers notwithstanding
the fact that some borrowers of Citibank may borrow from Citibank at
rates of less than such announced Prime rate; and
"Interest Rate Change Date" means (a) the first

calendar month following the date of the initial advance of the loan
evidenced by this Note and (b) the first business day of Citibank,
N.A., during each successive month thereafter.
The principal sum of this Note shall be repaid in the manner
set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined below), the applicable provisions
of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
Payments of principal and/or interest shall, at the option of
Holder, earn interest after they are due at a rate ("Overdue Rate") equal to
(a) 2% per annum above the rate otherwise payable hereunder or (b) the maximum
contract rate permitted under the Applicable Usury Law, whichever of (a) or (b)
is lesser. Furthermore, in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default
(as the term "Event of Default" is defined in the Loan Agreement) the unpaid
principal balance of this Note shall, at the option of Holder, accrue interest
at the Overdue Rate.
34
This Note is executed pursuant to that certain Amendment No.

reference.
All payments made under this Note shall be applied first
against amounts due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, other than principal
and interest; second, against interest then due under this Note; and third,
against the principal of this Note.
In the event any installment of principal and/or interest
required to be made in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby is not
paid when due and, except in the case of the final installment, for which no
grace period is allowed, such default continues for five days after notice

Holder shall not by any act or omission or commission be
deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver be
in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Holder and then only to the
extent specifically set forth therein; a waiver on one occasion shall not be
construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy on any
other occasion. All remedies conferred upon Holder by this Note or any other
instrument or agreement connected herewith or related hereto shall be
cumulative and none is exclusive and such remedies may be exercised
concurrently or consecutively at Holder's option.
Every person or entity at any time liable for the payment of
the indebtedness evidenced hereby waives: presentment for payment, protest and

trial by jury in any litigation arising out of, relating to or connected with
this Note or any instrument given as security herefor. Every such person or

any part or the whole of the indebtedness at any time and from time to time at
the request of any other person or entity liable therefor. Any such renewals
or extensions may be made without notice to any person or entity liable for the
payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
This Note is given and accepted as evidence of indebtedness
only and not in payment or satisfaction of any indebtedness or obligation.
Time is of the essence with respect to all of Maker's
obligations and agreements under this Note.
This Note and all of the provisions, conditions, promises and
covenants hereof shall be binding in accordance with the terms hereof upon
Maker, its successors and assigns, provided nothing herein shall be deemed
consent to any assignment restricted or prohibited by the terms of the Loan
Agreement. If more than one person or other entity has executed this Note as
Maker, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several.
This Note has been executed and delivered in Phoenix, Arizona,
and the obligations of Maker hereunder shall be performed in Phoenix, Arizona.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND,
TO THE EXTENT THEY PREEMPT THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, THE LAWS OF THE UNITED
STATES. Maker (a) hereby irrevocably submits itself to the process,
jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County,
and to the process, jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court
for Arizona, for the purposes of suit, action or other proceedings arising out
of or relating to this Note or the subject matter hereof brought by Holder and
(b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby waives and agrees
not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise in any such suit, action
or proceeding any claim that Maker is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper.
It is the intent of the parties to comply with the usury law
("Applicable Usury Law") applicable pursuant to the terms of the preceding
paragraph or such other usury law which is applicable if the law chosen by the
parties is not. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment
hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Note or such
documents
-3-

require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the
maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law. In the event (a)
any such excess of interest otherwise would be contracted for, charged or
received from Maker or otherwise in connection with the loan evidenced hereby,
or (b) the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is accelerated
in whole or in part, or (c) all or part of the principal or interest of this
Note shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstance the amount of
interest contracted for, shared or received in connection with the loan
evidenced hereby, would exceed the maximum contract rate permitted by the
Applicable Usury Law, then in any such event (1) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control, (2) neither Maker nor any other person or
entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof will be obligated to pay
the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum
contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, (3) any such excess which
may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then
unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Maker, at Holder's option, and
(4) the effective rate of interest will be automatically reduced to the maximum
amount of interest permitted by the Applicable Usury Law. It is further
agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Usury Law: (x) all calculations of interest which
are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed the
maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law shall be made by
amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full
stated term of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise in connection with such loan;
and (y) in the event that the effective rate of interest on the loan should at
any time exceed the maximum contract rate allowed under the Applicable Usury
Law, such excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there
been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Holder
from time to time, if and when the effective interest rate on the loan
otherwise falls below the maximum amount permitted by the Applicable Usury Law,
to the extent that interest paid to the date of calculation does not exceed the
maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law, until the entire
amount of interest which would have otherwise been collected had there been no
ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full. Maker
further agrees that should the maximum contract rate permitted by the
Applicable Usury Law be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in
the law, then to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such
increases shall apply to all indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when
incurred; but, again to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law,
should the maximum contract rate permitted by the Applicable Usury Law be
decreased because of a change in the law, such decreases shall not apply to the
indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the
provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the
provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control.
