Insurance. For all times during the period there remains any indebtedness under the Note, or any and all other indebtedness (including without limitation Future Advances) secured by this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall keep the Property insured against all risks or hazards as Mortgagee may require. Such insurance shall be in policy form, amount and coverage satisfactory to Mortgagee, including, but not limited to: (A) Fire and extended coverage property damage insurance, including, but not limited to all risk insurance, in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Improvements, without coinsurance or deducting for depreciation, containing a waiver of subrogation clause and a deductible amount acceptable to Mortgagee; (B) Public liability insurance, in such form, amount and deductible satisfactory to Mortgagee, and naming Mortgagee c/o Mortgagee's servicing agent, if any, as additional insured covering Mortgagee's interest in the Property; (C) Business interruption or rent loss insurance endorsement in an amount at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of: annual debt service on the Note, the annual debt service on any other financing permitted by Mortgagee, ground rents, if any, and operating expenses, including, without limitation, real estate taxes and assessments and insurance, for the Property; (D) Flood insurance required by and obtainable through the National Flood Insurance Program sufficient to cover any damage which may be anticipated in the event of flood unless Mortgagor has provided Mortgagee evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that no portion of the Property is located within the boundaries of the one hundred (100) year flood plain; (E) "Dram shop" insurance if alcoholic beverages are sold on the Property; 8 (F) Boiler and machinery insurance when risks covered thereby are present and Mortgagee requires such insurance; and (G) Earthquake insurance if Mortgagee requires such insurance. The insurance coverages described in subsections (A), (C), (D), (F) and (G) above shall name Mortgagee c/o Mortgagee's servicing agent, if any, under a standard noncontributory mortgagee clause or otherwise directly insure Mortgagee's interest in the Property. All losses under said insurance shall be payable to Mortgagee in the manner provided in sections 1.04 and 1.05 hereof. All policies of insurance required under this section 1.02 shall be with a company or companies with a policy rating of A and financial rating of at least Class X in the most current edition of Best's Insurance Reports and authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located. All policies of insurance shall provide that they will not be canceled or modified without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Mortgagee. True copies of the above mentioned insurance policies or evidence of such insurance (in the form of Accord Form 27) satisfactory to Mortgagee shall be delivered to and held by Mortgagee. True copies of all renewal and replacement policies or evidences of such insurance forms (Accord Form 27) thereof shall be delivered to Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the expiring policies.

Condemnation. (A) Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the commencement or threat of any action in connection with (1) any condemnation, (2) any other taking of the Property or any part thereof by any public authority or private entity having the power of eminent domain, or (3) any conveyance in lieu of such condemnation or taking of the Property or any part thereof ("Condemnation"), Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee in writing but in no event later than ten (10) days after Mortgagor obtains knowledge of the commencement of or threat of a Condemnation. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any proceedings relating to any Condemnation and may, in its sole discretion, consent or withhold its consent to any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any claims arising from the Condemnation and no such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall be final or binding upon Mortgagee without Mortgagee's prior consent. (B) If all or part of the Property is taken by Condemnation and Mortgagee in its reasonable iudgment determines that the remainder of the Property, if any, cannot be operated as an economically viable entity at substantially the same level of operations as immediately prior to such Condemnation, then all proceeds of the Condemnation ("Condemnation Proceeds") shall be paid over to Mortgagee and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of the costs and 9 expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of Mortgagee, if any, in connection with the recovery of such Condemnation Proceeds, and then, in the sole and absolute discretion of Mortgagee and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, shall be applied against all amounts due herein or under the Note and any remaining Condemnation Proceeds shall be released to the Mortgagor. Partial prepayment of the Note under this section 1.03(B) shall not be subject to the Prepayment Premium; however, such partial prepayment shall not entitle Mortgagor to prepay the portion of the Note remaining unpaid after application of the Condemnation Proceeds. Prepayment of the balance shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Note, including the No-Prepayment Period and the Prepayment Premium described therein. (C) If less than all of the Property is taken by Condemnation and Mortgagee in its reasonable judgment determines that the remainder of the Property can be operated as an economically viable entity at substantially the same level of operations as immediately prior to such Condemnation, then Mortgagor shall diligently restore the Property to a condition and use as close as possible to its condition immediately prior to the Condemnation and all Condemnation Proceeds shall be made available to Mortgagor for such restoration. If the estimated cost of restoration, as reasonably determined by Mortgagee, is equal to or less than Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000), all Condemnation Proceeds shall be released directly to Mortgagor for restoration of the Property. If the estimated cost of restoration exceeds Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($200,000), all Condemnation Proceeds shall be deposited into an escrow fund in accordance with section 1.05 below. Mortgagee shall have the right to obtain an opinion of an independent contractor or engineer satisfactory to Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's expense, to estimate the cost to restore the remaining portion of the Property. If the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds is not sufficient to restore the Property based on the opinion of an independent contractor or engineer, subject to revision as restorations are made, Mortgagor shall be obligated to pay the difference toward the restoration of the Property. (D) If an Event of Default exists at any time from the time of a Condemnation through the completion of restoration and payment of any Condemnation Proceeds, the use of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be governed by the remedies set forth in Article III below. If an event has occurred which with notice, the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, then, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be held by Mortgagee or in the Escrow Fund (as defined below), as applicable, pending cure of such event. 1.04. Damage to Property. (A) Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any damage to the Property or any part thereof with an estimated cost of restoration in excess of Five Thousand and 00/100 (S5,000), but in no event later than five (5) days after Mortgagor obtains such knowledge, Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of such damage in writing. Mortgagor shall diligently restore the Property to the same condition that existed immediately prior to the damage whether or not insurance proceeds are sufficient for such restoration. All proceeds of any insurance on the Property ("Insurance Proceeds") received by Mortgagor shall be applied to such restoration. 10 Mortgagee shall have the right to obtain an opinion of an independent contractor or engineer satisfactory to Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's expense, to estimate the cost to restore the Property to its original condition, which opinion may be revised as restorations are made. If the amount of the insurance proceeds is not sufficient to restore the Property based on an independent contractor's or engineer's opinion, subject to revision as restorations are made, Mortgagor shall be obligated to pay the difference toward the restoration of the Property. (B) If the estimated cost of restoration is equal to or less than Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000), Mortgagor shall promptly settle and adjust any claims under the insurance policies which insure against such risks and, upon receipt of the Insurance Proceeds, Mortgagee shall deliver such to Mortgagor for use in restoration of the Property. (C) If the estimated cost of restoration is greater than Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($200,000), Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the settlement of the insurance claims and may, in its sole discretion, consent or withhold its consent to any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of such insurance claims and no such settlement, adjustment, or comprormise shall be final or binding upon Mortgagee without its prior consent. Upon settlement of insurance claims, and if Mortgagor can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Mortgagee that the projected ratio of Net Operating Income, as defined below, to annual debt service due under the Note and any other notes secured by the Property ("Debt Coverage Ratio") will be at least one hundred five (105%) for the twelve (12) months immediately following reconstruction of the Property, the insurance proceeds shall be deposited into an escrow fund in accordance with section 1.05 below. Notwithstanding any prohibition against prepayments or partial prepayments, if the foregoing Debt Coverage Ratio is not satisfied, Mortgagor may elect to make a partial prepayment (together with a proportionate Prepayment Premium calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Note) sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Note to an amount such that the Debt Coverage Ratio requirement is satisfied. As used in this Mortgage, "Net Operating Income" shall mean: (i) all gross receipts received or anticipated (as may be applicable) from tenants in the Property and paying rent under bona fide leases in effect during the applicable twelve (12) month period, calculated on a cash basis which reflects only the income actually received during the previous twelve (12) month period as of the date of such calculation, and any income anticipated to be received during the following twelve (12) month period based on leases in effect as of the date of calculation, for such time as those leases are contracted to remain in effect without expiration by their terms or optional termination by the tenant (unless the tenant has waived its termination rights in writing or the term of the lease has been extended in writing), including without limitation all amounts to be received from tenants as payment of operating expenses but not including refundable deposits, lease termination payments, excess tenant improvement and leasing commission payments included as additional rent, principal or interest payments received by Mortgagor on loans to tenants and fees and reimbursements for work performed for tenants by Mortgagor, less: 11 (ii) all amounts, calculated on a cash basis, for the operation or maintenance of the Property for the applicable twelve (12) month period, including ground rents, the cost of property management (which shall be no less than four percent (4%) of gross collections), maintenance, cleaning, security, landscaping, parking maintenance and utilities, and other costs and expenses approved in writing by Mortgagee and amounts reasonably estimated by Mortgagee for the payment of real estate taxes and assessments and other taxes related to the operation of the Property, insurance premiums, necessary repairs and future replacements of equipment; payments under the Note shall not be included in Net Operating Income. (D) If in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee the conditions of paragraph 1.04(C) cannot be satisfied, then at any time from and after the occurrence of the damage, upon written notice to Mortgagor, Mortgagee may declare the entire balance of the Note and/or any Future Advances then outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums or payments required thereunder or under this Mortgage, without any Prepayment Premium, to be immediately due and payable, and all insurance proceeds shall be applied by Mortgagee first to the reimbursement of any costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the damage or the determination to be made hereunder, and then to the payment of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage in such order as Mortgagee may determine in its sole discretion. (E) If an Event of Default exists at any time from the time of damage through the completion of restoration and the final release of any insurance proceeds to Mortgagor, the use of the insurance proceeds shall be governed by the remedies set forth in Article Ill below. If an event has occurred which with notice, the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, then the Insurance Proceeds shall be held by Mortgagee or in the Escrow Fund, as applicable, pending cure of such event prior to the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period. 1.05. Escrow Fund for Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds. (A) In the circumstances indicated above in subsections 1.03(C) and 1.04(C), all Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds shall be deposited in an interest bearing escrow fund ("Escrow Fund"). The escrow agent and the form of the escrow agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and Mortgagor. The costs and fees of such escrow agent shall be paid by Mortgagor. If the amount of the Proceeds is not sufficient to restore the Property based on an independent contractor's or engineer's opinion obtained by Mortgagee at Mortgagor's expense, subject to revision as restorations are made, Mortgagor shall be obligated to deposit in the Escrow Fund the difference between the contractor's or engineer's estimate and the amount of the Proceeds or deliver to the escrow agent an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit issued in the amount of such difference in a form and by a financial institution acceptable to Mortgagee or other cash equivalent acceptable to Mortgagee. The Mortgagor's funds, if necessary, and the Proceeds shall be deposited into the Escrow Fund and shall not be released by the escrow agent unless used to restore the Property to its original condition and unless a 12 disbursement agent satisfactory to Mortgagee and Mortgagor approves such disbursements from time to time. The escrow agreement shall provide that the escrow agent shall only disburse funds to Mortgagor so long as the restoration work is being diligently performed by Mortgagor and only after (1) Mortgagee has approved the plans and specifications for the restoration of the Property; (2) Mortgagor has executed a contract acceptable to Mortgagee with a general contractor acceptable to Mortgagee for the restoration of the Property; (3) the general contractor has submitted lien waivers and/or releases, executed by the general contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers which may be partial to the extent of partial payments and which, in the case of releases, may be contingent upon payment if the escrow agent makes payment directly to such contractor, subcontractor or supplier; (4) Mortgagor has furnished Mortgagee with an endorsement to its title policy showing no additional exceptions; and (5) Mortgagor has submitted such other documents and information as may be requested by Mortgagee to determine that the work to be paid for has been performed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee. If any requisition for payment of work performed is for an amount which would result in the remaining balance of the Escrow Fund to be insufficient to complete the remainder of the restoration, Mortgagor shall advance the requisite amount in cash to the Escrow Fund immediately upon written request from the disbursement agent or Mortgagee. (B) Any Condemnation Proceeds and any interest thereon remaining in the Escrow Fund after payment of the costs to complete the restoration of the Property pursuant to the approved plans and specifications and the costs of the escrow agent shall be paid first, to Mortgagor to the extent of any funds of Mortgagor's contributed to the restoration pursuant to paragraph 1.05, provided there is no Event of Default or an event which with notice, the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, and thereafter at Mortgagee's option, any remaining Condemnation Proceeds may be applied to the partial payment or prepayment of the Note without payment of any Prepayment Premium or may be returned to the Mortgagor. If an Event of Default exists, the use of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be governed by Article III below. If, however, an event exists which with notice, the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, the remaining balance in the Escrow Fund shall be held by the escrow agent pending cure of the event prior to the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period. (C) Any Insurance Proceeds and any interest thereon remaining in the Escrow Fund after payment of the costs to complete the restoration of the Property pursuant to the approved plans and specifications and the costs of the escrow agent, provided there is no Event of Default or an event which with notice, the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, shall be paid first, to Mortgagor to the extent of any funds of Mortgagor's contributed to the restoration pursuant to paragraph 1.05, and thereafter at Mortgagee's option, any remaining Insurance Proceeds may be applied to the partial payment or prepayment of the Note without payment of any Prepayment Premium or may be returned to the Mortgagor. If an Event of Default exists at any time from the time of completion of restoration and the final application of any Insurance Proceeds, the use of the Insurance Proceeds shall be governed by Article III below. If, however, an event exists which with notice, the passage of time, or both, 13 could become an Event of Default, the remaining balance in the Escrow Fund shall be held by the escrow agent pending cure of the event prior to the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period. 1.06. Taxes, Liens and other Items. (A) Mortgagor shall pay any and all taxes, bonds, assessments, fees, liens, charges, fines, impositions and any accrued interest or penalty thereon, and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Property by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof and promptly furnish copies of paid receipts for these to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly discharge or bond any lien or encumbrance on the Property whether said lien or encumbrance has or may attain priority over this Mortgage or not. This Mortgage shall be the sole encumbrance on the Property and, if with the consent of Mortgagee it is not the sole encumbrance, then it shall be prior to any and all other liens or encumbrances on the Property. Provided that the priority of this Mortgage is not in any way affected, Mortgagor may in good faith protest the payment of any tax or lien which it believes is unwarranted or excessive and may defer payment of such tax pending conclusion of such contest if legally permitted to do so and provided Mortgagee's security is not jeopardized in Mortgagee's sole reasonable opinion. (B) As further security for the payment of the Note and the payment of real estate taxes, regular or special assessments and insurance premiums, Mortgagor shall be required to deposit one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual amounts of such items as estimated by Mortgagee, with each monthly payment on the Note, so that Mortgagee will hold a sufficient amount to pay all such charges not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such items become due and payable. Mortgagee shall be famished evidence to allow it to estimate such amounts, including paid receipts or annual insurance premium statements, assessment notices and tax receipts. All funds so deposited shall, until applied to the payment of the aforesaid items, as hereinafter provided, be held by Mortgagee without interest (except to the extent required under applicable law) and may be commingled with other funds of Mortgagee. All funds so deposited shall be applied to the payment of the aforesaid items only upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (1) no Event of Default or event, which with notice or the passage of time or both could become an Event of Default, shall have occurred; (2) Mortgagee shall have sufficient funds to pay the full amounts of such items (which funds may include amounts paid solely for such purpose by Mortgagor in addition to the escrowed funds); and (3) Mortgagor shall have furnished Mortgagee with prior written notification that such items are due and with the bills and invoices therefor in sufficient time to pay the same before any penalty or interest attaches and before policies of insurance lapse, as the case may be, and shall have deposited any additional funds as Mortgagee may determine as necessary to pay such items. (C) Mortgagee expressly disclaims any obligation to pay the aforesaid items unless and until Mortgagor complies with all of the provisions set forth in subsections 1.06(A) and (B). Mortgagor hereby pledges any and all monies now or hereafter deposited pursuant to subsection 1.06(B) as additional security for the Note and Related Agreements. If any Event of 14 Default shall have occurred, or if the Note shall be accelerated as herein provided, all funds so deposited may, at Mortgagee's option, be applied as determined solely by Mortgagee or to cure said Event of Default or as provided in this section 1.06. In no event shall Mortgagor claim any credit against the principal and interest due hereunder for any payment or deposit for any of the aforesaid items. 1.07. Assignment of Leases, Contracts, Rents and Profits. (A) Mortgagor hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally grants, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the following whether arising under the Leases, by statute, at law, in equity, or in any other way: (1) All of the Leases of the Property which are in effect on the date hereof, and entered into or in effect from time to time after the date hereof, including, without limitation, all amendments, extensions, replacements, modifications and renewals thereof and all subleases, concession agreements, any ground leases or ground subleases and all other agreements affecting the same (the "Leases") and all guaranties thereunder; (2) All of the rents, income, profits, revenue, royalties, judgments, condemnation awards, Insurance Proceeds, unearned insurance premiums and any other fees or sums payable to Mortgagor or any other person as landlord and other benefits and rights of the Property arising from the use, occupancy, operation or management of all or any portion thereof or from all the Leases, and any proceeds, deposits or security deposits relating thereto, including, without limitation, any award to Mortgagor made hereafter in any court involving any of the tenants under the Leases in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceeding in any state or federal court, and Mortgagor's right to appear in any action and/or to collect any such award or payment, and all payments by any tenant in lieu of rent (collectively, "Rents and Profits"); and (3) All contracts, agreements, management, operating and maintenance agreements, warranties, licenses, permits, guaranties and sales contracts relating to the Property and the Collateral entered into by, or inuring to the benefit of, Mortgagor (the "Contracts"). (B) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1.07(A), prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee shall not exercise any of the rights or powers conferred upon Mortgagee by this section 1.07, and, subject to subsection 1.07(F), Mortgagor shall have a license to manage the Property; to collect, receive and use all Rents and Profits in accordance with the terms of the Leases; to let the Property and to take all actions which a reasonable and prudent landlord would take in enforcing the provisions of the Leases and Contracts; provided, however, that all amounts so collected shall be applied toward 15 operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance relating to the Property, capital repair items necessary to the operation of the Property, and the payment of sums due and owing under the Note, and this Mortgage prior to any other expenditure or distribution by Mortgagor. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not Mortgagee shall have exercised Mortgagee's option to declare the Note immediately due and payable), such license shall be automatically revoked without any action required by Mortgagee. Any amounts received by Mortgagor or its agents in the performance of any acts prohibited by the terms of this Mortgage, including but not limited to any amounts received in connection with any cancellation, modification or amendment of any of the Leases prohibited by the terms of this Mortgage and any amounts received by Mortgagor as rents, income, issues or profits from the Property from and after an Event of Default under this Mortgage, the Note, or any of the other Related Agreements, shall be held by Mortgagor as trustee for Mortgagee and all such amounts shall be accounted for Mortgagee and shall not be commingled with other funds of the Mortgagor. Any person acquiring or receiving all or any portion of such trust funds shall acquire or receive the same in trust for Mortgagee as if such person had actual or constructive notice that such funds were impressed with a trust in accordance herewith. (C) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the right but not the obligation to perform as landlord under the Leases and as a party under the Contracts. The assignment of Rents and Profits set forth herein constitutes an irrevocable direction and authorization of all tenants under the Leases to pay all Rents and Profits to Mortgagee upon demand and without further consent or other action by Mortgagor. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney, at the option of Mortgagee at any time, to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to sue, either in the name of Mortgagor or in the name of Mortgagee, for all such Rents and Profits and apply the same to the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. (D) Neither the foregoing assignment of Rents and Profits, Leases and Contracts to Mortgagee nor the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies under Article III shall be deemed to make Mortgagee a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property, unless Mortgagee, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Mortgagee or by agreement with Mortgagor, or the entering into possession of the Property by such receiver, be deemed to make Mortgagee a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property. (E) In the event Mortgagee collects and receives any Rents and Profits under this section 1.07 pursuant to any Monetary or Performance Default as defined in section 2.01 hereof, such collection or receipt shall in no way constitute a curing of the Monetary or Performance Default. (F) Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (1) enter into, or consent to or permit the assignment or subletting of, any Leases except that Mortgagee's prior written approval shall not 16 be required with respect to Leases demising no more than 20,000 rentable square feet of the Property which provide for a term of five (5) years or less and a rental rate, including rental concessions, at least equal to that charged for comparable properties within the Property's submarket area, have been negotiated at arm's length, and do not contain material modifications to the form of lease previously approved by Mortgagee; (2) modify, extend, cancel, consent to any surrender or in any way alter the terms of any Leases or take any action under or with respect to any such Leases which would materially decrease either the obligations of the tenant thereunder or the rights or remedies of the landlord or otherwise fail to perform the landlord's obligations under the Leases (except that Mortgagee's prior approval shall not be required with respect to amendments to leases of less than 20,000 rentable square feet if the amendment does not materially decrease the obligations of the tenant and the amendment is such that the lease would not have required Mortgagee's approval if it had originally contained such terms and conditions); (3) alter, modify, change or terminate the terms of any guaranties of the Leases; (4) create or permit any lien or encumbrance which, upon foreclosure, would be superior to any such Leases or in any other manner impair Mortgagee's rights and interest with respect to the Rents and Profits, (5) pledge, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber or assign the Leases, the Contracts or the Rents and Profits; or (6) collect rents more than thirty (30) days prior to their due date. Any lease submitted for Mortgagee's consent shall, at Mortgagee's option, be accompanied by a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement in Mortgagee's then current form. (G) Mortgagor shall promptly give notice to Mortgagee of any default under any of the Leases meeting the criteria of a lease for which Mortgagee's consent would have been required pursuant to paragraph 1.07(F) regardless of whether such Leases were executed before or after the date of this Mortgage, together with a complete copy of any notices delivered to or by the tenant as a result of such default. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default of Mortgagor under any of the Leases and all amounts disbursed in connection with said cure shall be deemed to be indebtedness secured hereby. (H) Mortgagee shall have the right to approve any lease forms used by Mortgagor for lease of space in the Property. (I) Mortgagor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that: (1) Mortgagor has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment and that no person, firm or corporation or other entity other than Mortgagor has or will have any right, title or interest in or to the Leases or the Rents and Profits. (2) Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the landlord under the Leases. Mortgagor shall enforce the performance of each obligation of the tenants under the Leases and will appear in and prosecute or defend any action connected with the Leases or the obligations of the tenants thereunder. 17 (J) Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this assignment. Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify Mortgagee for and to defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Mortgagee may or might incur under the Leases or under or by reason of this assignment, and from any and all claims whatsoever which may be asserted against Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on Mortgagee's part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases. Should Mortgagee incur any liability, loss or damage under the Leases or under or by reason of this assignment, or in the defense of any of such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, shall be secured by this Mortgage; and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand, and upon failure of Mortgagor to do so, Mortgagee may declare all sums so secured to be immediately due and payable. (K) Mortgagee may take or release other security, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any indebtedness secured hereby, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such indebtedness, and may apply any other security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of such indebtedness, without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder. (L) Nothing herein contained and no act done or omitted by Mortgagee pursuant to the powers and rights granted it herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by Mortgagee of its other rights and remedies under the Note and this Mortgage, and this assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the other rights and remedies possessed by Mortgagee under the terms thereof. The right of Mortgagee to collect said indebtedness and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Mortgagee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. It is the intent of both Mortgagor and Mortgagee that this assignment be supplementary to, and not in substitution or derogation of, any other provision contained in this Mortgage giving Mortgagee any interest in or rights with respect to the Leases or Rents and Profits. (M) Neither this assignment nor pursuit of any remedy hereunder by Mortgagee shall cause or constitute a merger of the interests of the tenant and the Mortgagor under any of the Leases such that any of the Leases hereby assigned are no longer valid and binding legal obligations of the parties executing the same. (N) Mortgagor agrees, from time to time, to execute and deliver, upon demand, all assignments and any and all other writings as Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent hereof, or to enable Mortgagee to enforce any right or rights hereunder. 1.08. Acceleration Upon Sale or Encumbrance. If Mortgagor shall (A) sell or convey the Property or any part thereof, or any interest in the Property; (B) be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein; (C) further encumber the Property; (D) enter into any lease 18 giving the tenant any option to purchase the Property or any part thereof; without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, then Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to declare the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Mortgagor is an entity other than Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Inc., then if Mortgagor or any general partner, member or shareholder of Mortgagor or any general partner of such general partner shall (A) sell or convey the Property or any part thereof, or any interest in the Property or in Mortgagor; (B) be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein; (C) further encumber the Property or the ownership interests in the Mortgagor; (D) enter into any lease giving the tenant any option to purchase the Property or any part thereof, or (E) encumber, grant a security interest in, transfer, permit the transfer of, or change or permit the change in: (1) the ownership of interests in the Mortgagor or any general partner or any shareholder or any member of Mortgagor or any general partner of such general partner, or (2) the amount of the general partnership, shares, or membership interests in Mortgagor or the general partners of the Mortgagor or any general partner of such general partner, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, then Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to declare the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable. Except as expressly consented to in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not permit any additional encumbrances on the Property. 1.09. Preservation and Maintenance of Property. Mortgagor shall hire competent and responsive property managers who shall be reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor or its property manager, if applicable shall keep the Property and every part thereof in good condition and repair, in accordance with sound property management practices and shall promptly and faithfully comply with and obey all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, requirements and, orders of every duly constituted governmental authority or agent having jurisdiction with respect to the Property. Mortgagor shall not permit or commit any waste, impairment, or deterioration of the Property, nor commit, suffer or permit any act upon or use of the Property in violation of law or applicable order of any governmental authority, whether now existing or hereafter enacted, or in violation of any covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property or bring or keep any article in the Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by or invalidate the insurance coverage required to be maintained hereunder. Mortgagor shall not make any material structural changes or alterations to the Property nor remove or demolish the Improvements or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly restore any portion of the Property which may be damaged or destroyed. Mortgagor shall promptly bond or discharge any mechanics' liens against the Property. Unless required by applicable law or unless Mortgagee has otherwise first agreed in writing, Mortgagor shall not make or allow any changes which will adversely affect the value of the Property to be made in the nature of the occupancy or use of the Property or any part thereof for which the Property or such part was intended at the time this Mortgage was delivered. Mortgagor shall not initiate or acquiesce in any change which will adversely affect the value of the Property in any zoning or other land use classification now or hereafter in effect and 19 affecting the Property or any part thereof without in each case obtaining Mortgagee's prior written consent thereto. 1.10. Offset Certificates. Mortgagor, within ten (10) days upon request in person or within fifteen (15) days upon request by mail, shall furnish a written statement duly acknowledged and notarized, of all amounts due on any indebtedness secured hereby or secured by any of the Related Agreements, whether for principal or interest on the Note or otherwise, and stating whether any offsets or defenses exist against the indebtedness secured hereby and covering such other matters with respect to any such indebtedness as Mortgagee may reasonably require. 1.11. Mortgagee's Costs and Expenses. Mortgagor shall pay all costs, fees and expenses of Mortgagee, its agents and counsel, in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. 1.12. Protection of Security; Costs and Expenses. Mortgagor and its property manager, if applicable, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security of this Mortgage or any additional or other security for the obligations secured hereby, or the rights or powers of the Mortgagee, and shall pay all costs and expenses actually incurred, including, without limitation, cost of evidence of title and actual attorneys' fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Mortgagee may appear, and in any suit brought by Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce or establish any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder or under any other security for the obligations secured hereby. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects Mortgagee's interest in the Property or any part thereof, including, eminent domain, code enforcement, or proceedings of any nature whatsoever under any federal or state law, whether now existing or hereafter enacted or amended, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other form of debtor relief, or to a decedent, then Mortgagee may, but without obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, perform such covenant or agreement and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of Mortgagee appears to be prior or superior hereto. Mortgagor shall further pay all expenses of Mortgagee actually incurred (including reasonable and actual fees and disbursements of counsel) incident to the protection or enforcement of the rights of Mortgagee hereunder, and enforcement or collection of payment of the Note or any Future Advance whether by judicial or nonjudicial proceedings, or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding of Mortgagor, or otherwise. Any amounts disbursed by Mortgagee pursuant to this section or section 1.11 shall be additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage and each of the Related Agreements as of the date of disbursement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, from demand until paid. All such amounts shall be payable by Mortgagor immediately upon demand. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require Mortgagee to incur any expense, make any appearance, or take any other action. 20 1.13. Mortgagor's Covenants Respecting Collateral. (A) Mortgagor shall execute and deliver financing and continuation statements covering the Collateral from time to time and in such form as Mortgagee may require to perfect and continue the perfection of Mortgagee's security interest with respect to such property, and Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Mortgagee may require. (B) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in the Collateral, including replacements and additions thereto. (C) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee or except in the ordinary course of business, Mortgagor shall not sell, transfer or encumber any of the Collateral, or remove any of the Collateral from the Property unless Mortgagor shall promptly substitute and replace the property removed with similar property of at least equivalent value on which Mortgagee shall have a continuing security interest ranking at least equal in priority to Mortgagee's security interest in the property removed. (D) Mortgagor shall (1) upon reasonable notice (unless an emergency or Event of Default exists) permit Mortgagee and its representatives to enter upon the Property to inspect the Collateral and Mortgagor's books and records relating to the Collateral and make extracts therefrom and to arrange for verification of the amount of Collateral, under procedures acceptable to Mortgagee, directly with Mortgagor's debtors or otherwise at Mortgagor's expense; (2) promptly notify Mortgagee of any attachment or other legal process levied against any of the Collateral and any information received by Mortgagor relative to the Collateral, Mortgagor's debtors or other persons obligated in connection therewith, which may in any way affect the value of the Collateral or the rights and remedies of Mortgagee in respect thereto; (3) reimburse Mortgagee upon demand for any and all costs actually incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable and actual attorneys' and accountants' fees, and other expenses incurred in collecting any sums payable by Mortgagor under any obligation secured hereby, or in the checking, handling and collection of the Collateral and the preparation and enforcement of any agreement relating thereto; (4) notify Mortgagee of each location at which the Collateral is or will be kept, other than for temporary processing, storage or similar purposes, and of any removal thereof to a new location, including, without limitation, each office of Mortgagor at which records relating to the Collateral are kept; (5) provide, maintain and deliver to Mortgagee originals or certified copies of the policies of insurance and certificates of insurance insuring the Collateral against loss or damage by such risks and in such amounts, from and by such companies as Mortgagee may require and with loss payable to Mortgagee, and in the event Mortgagee takes possession of the Collateral, the insurance policy or policies and any unearned or returned premium thereon shall at the option of Mortgagee become the sole property of Mortgagee; and (6) do all acts necessary to maintain, preserve and protect all Collateral, keep all Collateral in good condition and repair and prevent any waste or unusual or unreasonable depreciation thereof. 21 (E) Until Mortgagee exercises its right to collect proceeds of the Collateral pursuant hereto, Mortgagor will collect with diligence any and all proceeds of the Collateral. If an Event of Default exists, any proceeds received by Mortgagor shall be held in trust for Mortgagee, and Mortgagor shall keep all such collections separate and apart from all other funds and property so as to be capable of identification as the property of Mortgagee and shall deliver to Mortgagee such collections at such time as Mortgagee may request in the identical form received, properly endorsed or assigned when required to enable Mortgagee to complete collection thereof. (F) Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Collateral is located, as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. During the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder or under the Note, Mortgagee shall have the right to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, to receive directly or through its agent(s) collections of proceeds of the Collateral (including notification of the persons obligated to make payments to Mortgagor in respect of the Collateral), to release persons liable on the Collateral and compromise disputes in connection therewith, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Mortgagor would have, but for the security agreement contained herein, to all of the Collateral and proceeds thereof, and to do all other acts and things and execute all documents in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, deemed by Mortgagee as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder; and (G) After any Event of Default hereunder or under the Note, Mortgagor shall, at the request of Mortgagee, assemble and deliver the Collateral and books and records pertaining to the Property at a place designated by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may, with reasonable notice to Mortgagor (unless an emergency or Event of Default exists), enter onto the Property and take possession of the Collateral. It is agreed that public or private sales, for cash or on credit to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of collateral of the types subject to the security agreement, or public auction, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the sales prices generally realized in the different kinds of sales are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such sales. The proceeds of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses of Mortgagee actually incurred in retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or selling the Collateral or similar matters, including reasonable and actual attorneys' fees, and then, as Mortgagee shall solely determine. 1.14. Covenants Regarding Financial Statements. (A) Mortgagor shall keep true books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in accordance with sound accounting practice and principles applied on a consistent basis from year to year shall be made of all dealings or transactions with respect to the Property. 22 (B) (1) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee: (A) Within sixty (60) days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Mortgagor during the term of the Note, unaudited annual financial reports prepared on a cash basis, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements covering the operation of the Property, the financial condition of Mortgagor for the previous fiscal year, all certified to Mortgagee to be complete, correct and accurate by the individual, managing general partner, manager or chief financial officer of the party whom the report concerns; In the event that the Mortgagor is an entity other than Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Inc., then the financial reports required in this paragraph shall be required for Mortgagor's general partner(s), shareholder(s), member(s) and such principals of the Mortgagor as Mortgagee may from time to time designate, in addition to Mortgagor. (B) If available, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Mortgagor, original annual audit reports of an independent certified public accountant prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles containing an unqualified opinion, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements covering the operation of the Property and the financial condition of the Mortgagor for the previous fiscal year. In the event that Mortgagor is an entity other than Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Inc., then the annual audit reports required in this paragraph shall be required for Mortgagor's general partner(s), shareholder(s), member(s), and such principals of the Mortgagor as Mortgagee may from time to time designate, in addition to Mortgagor. (2) At the request of Mortgagee from time to time (but no more often than once in each fiscal quarter of the Mortgagor during the term of the Note), Mortgagor shall also deliver to Mortgagee unaudited financial reports prepared on a cash basis, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements covering the operation of the Property and the financial condition of the Mortgagor for the previous fiscal quarter, a portfolio analysis report covering the operation of all properties of which Mortgagor is the owner or a general partner of the owner, setting out a cash flow statement (including debt service payments) for each such property, and a current rent roll of the Property, all certified to Mortgagee to be complete, correct and accurate by the individual, managing general partner, member or chief financial officer of the party whom the report concerns. 23 In the event that Mortgagor is an entity other than Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Inc., then the financial reports required in this paragraph shall cover the financial condition of Mortgagor's general partner(s), shareholder(s), member(s), and such principals of the Mortgagor as Mortgagee may from time to time request, in addition to the Mortgagor, and the portfolio analysis report shall cover the operation of all properties of which Mortgagor or any of Mortgagor's general partners, shareholder(s), member(s), or principals designated by Mortgagee is the owner or a general partner of the owner. (3) All reports shall include, without limitation, balance sheets and statements of income and of partner's equity, if applicable, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal quarter or year, as the case may be. The interim quarterly reports shall also include a breakdown of all categories of revenues and expenses, and any supporting schedules and data requested by Mortgagee. Each set of annual or quarterly financial reports or quarterly rent rolls delivered to Mortgagee pursuant to this section 1.14 shall also be accompanied by a certificate of the chief financial officer or the managing general partner or the member of Mortgagor, stating whether any condition or event exists or has existed during the period covered by the annual or quarterly reports which then constituted or now constitutes an Event of Default under the Note or this Mortgage, and if any such condition or event then existed or now exists, specifying its nature and period of existence and what Mortgagor did or proposes to do with respect to such condition or event. (C) In the event such statements are not in a form reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee or Mortgagor fails to furnish such statements and reports, then Mortgagee shall have the immediate and absolute right to audit the respective books and records of the Property and Mortgagor at the expense of Mortgagor. 1.15. Environmental Covenants. Mortgagor covenants: (A) that no Hazardous Materials (as defined below) (other than Hazardous Materials in quantities and of types reasonably and customarily associated with general office use that are stored, used and disposed of in compliance with Hazardous Material law and do not require compliance with any reporting requirements under any Hazardous Material Law) shall be installed, used, generated, manufactured, treated, handled, refined, produced, processed, stored or disposed of, in, on or under the Property; (B) that no activity shall be undertaken on the Property which would cause (1) the Property to become a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility under any Hazardous Material Law, (2) a release or threatened release of Hazardous Material from the Property in violation of any Hazardous Material Law, or (3) the discharge of Hazardous Material into any watercourse, body of surface or subsurface water or wetland, or the discharge into the atmosphere of any Hazardous Material which would require a permit under any Hazardous Material Law and for which no such permit has been issued; (C) that no activity shall be undertaken or permitted to be undertaken, by the Mortgagor on the Property which would result in a violation under any Hazardous Material Law, and (D) to obtain and deliver to Mortgagee, within a reasonable time following completion of actions required by an appropriate governmental agency, certifications of engineers or other professionals reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, certifying that all necessary and 24 required actions to clean up, remove, contain, prevent and eliminate all releases or threats of release of Hazardous Materials on or about the Property to the levels required by the appropriate governmental agencies have been taken and, to the knowledge of such professional, the Property is then in compliance with applicable Hazardous Material Laws as then in effect and applicable to such actions.

Description of Fixtures. "Fixtures" shall include all articles of personal property now or hereafter attached to, placed upon for an indefinite term or used in connection with said real property, appurtenances and improvements together with all goods and other property which are or at any time become so related to the Property that an interest in them arises under real estate law. 2. Description of Collateral. The Collateral, as defined in the Security Agreement, includes, without limitation, the following items and types of Collateral as well as certain other items and types of Collateral: All equipment, fixtures, goods, inventory and all present and future accessions and products thereof and thereto as defined in the UCC, now or at any time acquired, used, or to be used for or in connection with the construction, use or enjoyment of the Property by Mortgagor, whether in the possession of Mortgagor, warehousemen, bailees or any other person and whether located at the Property or elsewhere, including without limitation: (A) all building, maintenance or service equipment; building, maintenance or raw materials or supplies; component parts or work in process; appliances; furnishings; machinery; and tools; and (B) all goods and property covered by any warehouse receipts, bills of lading and other documents evidencing any goods or other tangible personal property of any kind (including any Collateral) in which Mortgagor now or at any time hereafter has any interest in connection with any or all of the Property or Collateral; and (C) any and all products of any accessions to any such Collateral which may exist at any time. Collateral shall not include the personal property of Mortgagor located in or associated with the Property as a result of Mortgagor's business occupancy as a tenant of a portion of the Property. Part of the above described goods are or are to become Fixtures on the Property. As used in this Exhibit to qualify the scope of Mortgagee's security interest in any of the Collateral, the phrase "in connection with any or all of the Property or Collateral" shall be used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense and shall include without limitation property used or acquired (or to 41 be used or acquired) in connection with the improvement, development, construction, repair or remodeling of any or all of the Property, property arising from or in connection with the operation, use, maintenance, occupancy, sale, lease or disposition of any or all of the Property or Collateral, property used or acquired (or to be used or acquired) in connection with Mortgagor's performance of any of its obligations to Mortgagee, and property acquired with any loan proceeds. If any property is used (or to be used) for multiple or different purposes, and one such purpose relates to any aspect of the Property or collateral, such property shall constitute Collateral hereunder, unless Mortgagee shall release such property from this Fixture Filing and Mortgagee's security interest in a duly executed written instrument. 3. Relation of Fixture filing to Mortgage. Some or all of the Collateral described section 2 above may be or become Fixtures in which Mortgagee has a security interest under the Security Agreement. However, nothing herein shall be deemed to create any lien or interest in favor of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage in any such Collateral which is not a fixture, and the purpose of this Exhibit B is to create a fixture filing under the appropriate Uniform Commercial Code sections in the State in which the Fixtures are located, as amended or recodified from time to time. The rights, remedies and interests of Mortgagee under this Mortgage are independent and cumulative, and there shall be no merger of any lien hereunder with any security interest created by the Security Agreement. Mortgagee may elect to exercise or enforce any of its rights, remedies, or interests under this Mortgage as Mortgagee may from time to time deem appropriate. 4. Name and Address of Mortgagee: Allstate Life Insurance Company Allstate Plaza South, Suite G5C 3075 Sanders Road Northbrook, Illinois 60062 Attention: Commercial Mortgage Loan Servicing Manager 5. Other Fixture Financing and Removal of Fixtures. (A) Mortgagee has not consented to any other security interest of any other person in any Fixtures and has not disclaimed any interest in any Fixtures; and (B) Mortgagee has not agreed or consented to the removal of any Fixtures from the Property, and any such consent by Mortgagor shall not be binding on Mortgagee. Mortgagee reserves the right to prohibit the removal of any Fixtures by any person with the legal right to remove any Fixtures from the Property unless and until such person makes arrangements with (and satisfactory to) Mortgagee for the payment to Mortgagee of all costs of repairing any physical injury to the Property which may be caused by the removal of such Fixtures. Any such payment shall be made directly to Mortgagee at its request, and Mortgagee may hold such payment as additional collateral under this Mortgage. Failure by Mortgagor to cause the delivery to Mortgagee of any such payment shall constitute both: (1) waste under (and breach of) this Mortgage; and (2) conversion of Collateral under (and a breach of) the Security Agreement. 42
