Grantor will punctually pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Holder. Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or waiver by Holder of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Grantor, by the Property or otherwise. If any right or interest of Holder in the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Trustee and Holder, or either of them (whether or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto), are hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in their discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or -4- interest of Holder, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Holder or Trustee (as the case may be), and the party (Holder or Trustee, as the case may be) making such expenditures shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

Grantor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to all real estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof, and shall deliver promptly to Holder such evidence of the payment thereof as Holder may require. (d) INSURANCE. Grantor shall obtain and maintain at Grantor's sole expense: (1) mortgagee title insurance issued to Holder covering the Premises as required by Holder, without exception for mechanics' Hens; (2) all-risk insurance with respect to all insurable Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such hazards as are presently included in so-called "all-risk" coverage and against such other insurable hazards as Holder may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Grantor and Holder from becoming a coinsurer, such insurance to be in Builder's Risk (non-reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on the Premises; (3) if and to the extent any portion of the Premises is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy in an amount equal to the lesser of the principal face amount of the Note or the maximum amount available; (4) comprehensive general public liability insurance, on an "occurrence" basis, for the benefit of Grantor and Holder as named insureds; (5) statutory workers' compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Premises; and (6) such other insurance on the Property as may from time to time be required by Holder (including but not limited to business interruption insurance, boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, and war risk insurance) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which ai the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form satisfactory to Holder, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Holder of any cancellation or change of coverage. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Grantor with respect to the Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Grantor or Holder and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Holder's reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Grantor shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Holder and at Grantor's expense, obtain and deliver to Holder a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Holder, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Deed of Trust or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of Holder with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Holder as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Holder notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Holder under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the Loan Documents. The originals of each initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by Holder, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Holder at the time of execution of this Deed of -5- Trust, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to Holder, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. Grantor shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Holder evidence satisfactory to Holder of the timely payment thereof. If any loss occurs at any time when Grantor has failed to perform Grantor's covenants and agreements in this paragraph, Holder shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Grantor, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Holder. Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title to the .Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the secured indebtedness, all of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property, and the expenses incurred by Holder in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the secured indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Holder on demand. Holder shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Any such proceeds received by Holder shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Holder, including attorneys' fees, at Holder's option be (1) released to Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Holder) to repair or restoration, either partly or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the payment of the secured indebtedness in such order and manner as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event, the unpaid portion of the secured indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Grantor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Property. (e) RESERVE FOR INSURANCE, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Upon request of Holder, to secure certain of Grantor's obligations in paragraphs (c) and (d) above, but not in lieu of such obligations, Grantor will deposit with Holder a sum equal to real estate taxes, assessments and charges (which charges for the purpose of this paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge which could result in a lien against the Property) against the Property for the current year, the premiums for such policies of insurance for the current year, and sewer usage charges, all as estimated by Holder and prorated to the end of the calendar month following the month during which Holder's request is made, and thereafter will deposit with Holder, on each date when an installment of principal and/or interest is due on the Note, sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Holder) to permit Holder to pay at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date thereof, the next maturing real estate taxes, assessments and charges and premiums for such policies of insurance. Holder shall have the right to rely upon tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation to make any protest of any such taxes or assessments. Any excess over the amounts required for such purposes shall be held by Holder for future use, applied to any secured indebtedness or refunded to Grantor, at Holder's option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be made up by Grantor upon demand of Holder All such funds so deposited shall bear no interest, may be mingled with the general funds of Holder and shall be applied by Holder toward the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when statements therefor are presented to Holder by Grantor (which statements shall be presented by Grantor to Holder a reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided, however, that, if a default shall have occurred hereunder, such funds may at Holder's option be applied to the payment of the secured indebtedness in the order determined by Holder in its sole discretion, and that Holder may (but shall have no obligation) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with any penalties or late charges with respect thereto. The conveyance or transfer of Grantor's interest in the Property for any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of -6- Grantor's interest in and rights to such funds held by Holder under this paragraph but subject to the rights of Holder hereunder. (f) CONDEMNATION. Grantor shall notify Holder immediately of ray threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Grantor shall, at Grantor's expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Holder shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for the condemnation of the Property, or any pan thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the Property. Grantor shall, promptly upon request of Holder, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Holder to collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Holder, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Holder, including attorneys' fees, at Holder's option be (1) released to Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Holder) to repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (3) applied to the payment of the secured indebtedness in such order and manner as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event the unpaid portion of the secured indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused.

ARTICLE 5 - REMEDIES SECTION 5.1. CERTAIN REMEDIES. If a default shall occur, Holder may (but shall have no obligation to) exercise any one or more of the following remedies, without notice (unless notice is required by applicable statute): (a) ACCELERATION. Holder may at any time and from time to time declare any or all of the secured indebtedness immediately due and payable and such secured indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a default described in clauses (A), (C) or (D) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (d) of Section 4, 1, hereof, all of the secured indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, declaration or notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or any other notice, declaration or act of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. (b) ENFORCEMENT OF ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. In addition to the rights of Holder under Article 3 hereof, prior or subsequent to taking possession of any portion of the Property or taking any action with respect to such possession, Holder may: (1) collect and/or sue for the Rents in Holder's own name, give receipts and releases therefore, and after deducting all expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees and expenses, apply the net proceeds thereof to the secured indebtedness in such manner and order as Holder may elect and/or to the operation and management of the Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and attorney's fees and expenses; and (2) require Grantor to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Holder together with original counterparts of the Leases. (c) FORECLOSURE; POWER OF SALE. Grantor hereby authorizes and empowers Trustee, or Trustee's successor or substitute, and it shall be Trustee's special duty at the request of Holder to sell (or in the case of any default of any purchaser to resell) the Property or any part thereof. Prior to any sale of the Property by Trustee, Trustee shall notify Grantor in accordance with all applicable laws. In the event of a postponement of any sale of the Property, which may be done in the sole discretion of Trustee, no new or additional notice need be given by Trustee to Grantor for the next scheduled sale of the Property. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Holder may request at such time and place, and after such previous public advertisement as Trustee shall deem advantageous and proper and at such times and containing such information as required by applicable laws and rules, without regard to any right of Grantor or any other person to the marshaling of assets. Except as may be required by applicable law, no purchaser of the Property shall be required to see to the proper application of the purchase money. To the extent permitted -18- by applicable law, any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by law. The sale by Trustee of less than the whole of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Property shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness secured hereby and the expense of executing this trust as provided herein, this Deed of Trust and the lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale had been made; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale of less than the whole of the Property but Holder shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property. Trustee may, after any request or direction by Holder, sell not only the real property but also the Collateral and other interests which are a part of the Property, or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell any part of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary for Trustee to have taken possession of any part of the Property or to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Collateral. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple, subject to all restrictions and encumbrances of record, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. Payment of the purchase price to Trustee shall satisfy the obligation of purchaser at such sale therefore, and such purchaser shall not be responsible for the application thereof. The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or Trustee's substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from time to time and as many times as Holder may deem necessary until all of the Property has been duly sold or all secured indebtedness has been fully paid. In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Holder, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder and Holder shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any deed or deeds or other conveyances given by Trustee or any successor or substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the secured indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Holder's having declared all of said indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, or as to the appointment of any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Holder or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Trustee or Trustee's successor or substitute may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Trustee, Trustee's successor or substitute. If Trustee or Trustee's successor or substitute shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance of the property pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the successor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale. (d) UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. Without limitation of Holder's rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the procedures for foreclosure of real estate, Holder may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof under the Missouri Uniform Commercial Code, as amended (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies: (1) Holder may enter upon Grantor's premises to take possession of, assemble and collect the Collateral or, to the extent and for those items of the Collateral permitted under applicable law, to render it unusable; (2) Holder may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Holder designates which is mutually convenient to allow Holder to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; (3) written notice mailed to Grantor as provided herein at least five (5) days prior to the date of public sale of the Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; (4) any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with and -19- upon the same notice as required for the sale of the Property under power of sale as provided in paragraph (c) above in this Section 5.1; (5) in the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by Trustee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Collateral and the other Property may, at the option of Holder, be sold as a whole; (6) it shall not be necessary that Holder take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; (7) with respect to application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral under Section 5.3 hereof, the costs and expenses incident to disposition shall include the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Holder; (8) any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the secured indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Holder having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Holder, shall be taken as primaw facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and (9) Holder may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Holder, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Holder. (e) LAWSUITS. Holder may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby, the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Grantor hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of the Property by any equity court having jurisdiction. (f) ENTRY ON PROPERTY. Holder is authorized, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property. Holder shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property or any part thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Holder in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Grantor (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) to Holder pursuant to this Deed of Trust. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Holder may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Grantor. In connection with any action taken by Holder pursuant to this Section, Holder shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Grantor resulting from any failure to let the Property or any part thereof, or from any act or omission of Holder in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Holder, nor shall Holder be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Grantor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising. Grantor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Holder with respect to the Property taken under this Section. (g) RECEIVER. Holder shall as a matter of right be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Property, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale (or sales) of such property or otherwise, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of any person or persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Grantor does hereby irrevocably consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives notice of such appointment, of any request therefore or hearing in connection therewith, and any and all defenses to such appointment, agrees not to oppose any application therefore by Holder, and agrees that such appointment shall in no manner impair, prejudice or otherwise affect the rights of Holder to application of Rents as provided in this Deed of Trust. -20- Nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Holder of any other right, remedy or privilege it may have under the law to have a receiver appointed. Any money advanced by Holder in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay) owing by Grantor to Holder pursuant to this Deed of Trust. (h) TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT TO LEND. Holder may terminate any commitment or obligation to lend or refuse to disburse funds under any Loan Document. (i) OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Holder may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Holder may have under the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity or otherwise. (j) RIGHT OF SETOFF. Holder may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, setoff and apply any and all deposits, funds or assets at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Holder to or for the credit or the account of Grantor against any and all indebtedness secured hereby. SECTION 5.2. PROCEEDS OF FORECLOSURE. The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or Holder or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be applied: FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all attorneys' fees and legal expenses, advertising costs, auctioneer's fees, costs of title rundowns and lien searches, inspection fees, appraisal costs, fees for professional services, environmental assessment and remediation fees, all court costs and charges of every character, and a reasonable fee (not exceeding five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds of such sale) to Trustee acting under the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section 5.1 hereof if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in said paragraph, and to the payment of the other secured indebtedness, including specifically without limitation the principal, accrued interest and attorneys' fees due and unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Holder under this Deed of Trust, the order and manner of application to the items in this clause FIRST to be in Holder's sole discretion; SECOND, to the holders or beneficiaries of any Subordinate Deeds of Trust or other inferior lien, as they may be entitled thereto by law; and THIRD, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor, or to Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns, or such other persons as may be entitled thereto by law; provided, however, that if Holder is uncertain which person or persons are so entitled, Holder may interplead such remainder in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount of any attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses incurred in such action shall be a part of the secured indebtedness and shall be reimbursable (without limitation) from such remainder. SECTION 5.3. HOLDER AS PURCHASER. Holder shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer or at any public sale, and Holder shall have the right to credit upon the amount of Holder's successful bid, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, all or any part of the secured indebtedness in such manner and order as Holder may elect. SECTION 5.4. FORECLOSURE AS TO MATURED DEBT. Upon the occurrence of a default, Holder shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the liens and security interests hereunder without declaring the entire secured indebtedness due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness; and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the secured indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 5.3 hereof except that the amount paid under clause FIRST thereof shall be only the matured portion of the secured indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in clause FIRST (modified as provided above) shall be applied to the prepayment (without penalty) of any other secured indebtedness in such manner and order and to such extent as Holder deems advisable, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied as provided in clauses SECOND and THIRD of Section -21- 5.3 hereof, Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the secured indebtedness.

SECTION 5.6. HOLDER'S DISCRETION AS TO SECURITY. Holder may resort to any security given by this Deed of Trust or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the secured indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Holder in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Deed of Trust. Section 5.7. GRANTOR'S WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests hereby created. Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Holder under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property for the collection of the secured indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Holder under the terms of this Deed of Trust to the payment of the secured indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Grantor waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to any provision of Missouri law, pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section. SECTION 5.8. LEASE TO GRANTOR; DELIVERY OF POSSESSION AFTER FORECLOSURE. The Property is hereby leased to Grantor for a term ending at the earlier of the time when this Deed of Trust is released and satisfied or the Property is sold as provided in this Deed of Trust, for a rental of one cent (1(C)) per month, payable monthly upon demand. Grantor will, without notice or demand therefore, immediately surrender peaceable possession of the Property to the purchaser thereof at any non-judicial sale or judicial foreclosure. The purchaser will be entitled to institute summary proceedings for possession of the Property if possession is not so surrendered. After any such sale or foreclosure, any Leases to tenants or subtenants that are subject to this Deed of Trust (either by their date, their express terms, or by agreement of the tenant or subtenant) shall, at the sole option of Holder or any purchaser at such sale or foreclosure, either (i) continue in full force and effect, and the tenant(s) or subtenant(s) thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing to -22- the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or foreclosure as landlord thereunder, or (ii) terminate such leases. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the Property (such as an action for unlawful detainer) in any court having jurisdiction.

Neither failure by Holder to exercise, nor delay by Holder in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to accelerate the maturity of the secured indebtedness or any part thereof) upon or after any default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Holder of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefore shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Holder and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Remittances in payment of any part of the secured indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U. S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefore, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Holder in immediately available U. S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Holder of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any secured indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder. SECTION 6.7. GRANTOR'S SUCCESSORS. If the ownership of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Holder may, without notice to Grantor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust and to the indebtedness secured hereby in the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Grantor's liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Holder, and no extension of the time for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby given by Holder shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Grantor hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. Each Grantor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents made by Holder and any subsequent owner of the Property, with or without notice to such Grantor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of such Grantor under this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Deed of Trust shall be construed to imply Holder's consent to any transfer of the Property. SECTION 6.8. PLACE OF PAYMENT. All secured indebtedness which may be owing hereunder at any time by Grantor shall be payable at the place designated in the Note (or if no such designation is made, at the address of Holder indicated at the end of this Deed of Trust). SECTION 6.9. SUBROGATION TO EXISTING LIENS; VENDOR'S LIEN. To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Holder at Grantor's request, and Holder shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the secured indebtedness, but the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust shall govern and control the manner and terms of enforcement of -24- the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Holder is subrogated hereunder. It is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Holder, Grantor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. If all or any portion of the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note or of any other secured indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Property, no vendor's lien is waived; and Holder shall have, and is hereby granted, a vendor's lien on the Property as cumulative additional security for the secured indebtedness. Holder may foreclose under this Deed of Trust or under the vendor's lien without waiving the other or may foreclose under both. SECTION 6.10. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS TO CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS. If any part of the secured indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Deed of Trust or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by this Deed of Trust. SECTION 6.11. NATURE OF LOAN; COMPLIANCE WITH USURY LAWS. The Loan evidenced by the Note is being made solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business or commercial enterprise. It is the intent of Grantor and Holder and all other parties to the Loan Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between Holder and Grantor (or any other party liable with respect to any indebtedness under the Loan Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, chargeable, or received under this Deed of Trust, the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Amount"). If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the Maximum Amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and such document shall ipso facto be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Amount, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Holder shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the secured indebtedness in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Grantor or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note or any other secured indebtedness does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Holder does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Amount. As used in this Section, the term "applicable Law" shall mean the laws of the State of Missouri or the federal laws of the United States applicable to mistranslation, whichever laws allow the greater interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future. SECTION 6.12. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Holder, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Holder. In case of the death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of Trustee, or if for any reason Holder shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, then Holder shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee or trustees, or a substitute trustee(s), without other formality than appointment -25- and designation in writing executed by Holder and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other successor and substitute trustees successively until the indebtedness secured hereby has been paid in full, or until the Property is fully and finally sold hereunder. If Holder is a corporation or association and such appointment is executed on its behalf by an officer of such corporation or association; such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation or association. Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Property shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee(s) and such successor or substitute shall thereupon succeed to, and shall hold, possess and execute, all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to "Trustee" shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor(s) or substitute(s) appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder. SECTION 6.13. NO LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever (including Trustee's negligence), except for Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or Trustee's successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Grantor will reimburse Trustee for, and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee's duties. The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon discharge of the secured indebtedness or foreclosure, or release or other termination, of this Deed of Trust. SECTION 6.14. RELEASES. (a) RELEASE OF DEED OF TRUST. If all of the secured indebtedness be paid as the same becomes due and payable and all of the covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Deed of Trust are kept and performed, and all obligations, if any, of Holder for further advances have been terminated, then, and in that event only, all rights under this Deed of Trust shall terminate (except to the extent expressly provided herein with respect to indemnifications, representations and warranties and other rights which are to continue following the release hereof) and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, and such liens and security interests shall be released by Holder in due form at Grantor's cost. Without limitation, all provisions herein for indemnity of Holder or Trustee shall survive discharge of the secured indebtedness and any foreclosure, release or termination of this Deed of Trust. (b) EFFECT OF PARTIAL RELEASE. Holder may, regardless of consideration, cause the release of any part of the Property from the lien of this Deed of Trust without in any manner affecting or impairing the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust as to the remainder of the Property. SECTION 6.15. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by courier, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified in this Deed of Trust (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or -26- by telegram, telex, or facsimile. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of telegram, telex or facsimile, upon receipt; provided, however, that any notice required by Section 443.310 and Section 443.320 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended, shall be considered complete when the requirements of such statutory provisions are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in any Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any person in any situation or for any reason. SECTION 6.16. INVALIDITY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS. A determination that any provision of this Deed of Trust is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Deed of Trust to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances. SECTION 6.17. GENDER; TITLES; CONSTRUCTION. Within this Deed of Trust, words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held and construed to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. Titles appearing at the beginning of any subdivisions hereof are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in such subdivisions. The use of the words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" shall refer to this entire Deed of Trust and not to any particular Article, Section, paragraph or provision. The term "person" and words importing persons as used in this Deed of Trust shall include firms, associations, partnerships (including limited partnerships), joint ventures, trusts, corporations, limited liability companies and other legal entities, including public or governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities, as well as natural persons. SECTION 6.18. HOLDER'S CONSENT. Except where otherwise expressly provided herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of judgment of Holder is required or requested, (a) the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole discretion of Holder, and Holder shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner, regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or Holder's judgment, and (b) no approval or consent of Holder shall be deemed to have been given except by a specific writing intended for the purpose and executed by an authorized representative of Holder. SECTION 6.19. GRANTOR. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, as used in this Deed of Trust, "Grantor" means the grantors named in Section 1.2 hereof or any of them. The obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be joint and several. If any Grantor, or any signatory who signs on behalf of any Grantor, is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity, Grantor and any such signatory, and the person or persons signing for it, represent and warrant to Holder that this instrument is executed, acknowledged and delivered by Grantor's duly authorized representatives. If Grantor is an individual, no power of attorney granted by Grantor herein shall terminate on Grantor's disability. SECTION 6.20. EXECUTION; RECORDING. This Deed of Trust may be executed in several counterparts, with all such counterparts being identical, and all of which counterparts together constituting one and the same instrument. The date or dates reflected in the acknowledgments hereto indicate the date or dates of actual execution of this Deed of Trust, but such execution is as of the date shown on the first page hereof, and for purposes of identification and reference the date of this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to be the date reflected on the first page hereof. Grantor will cause this Deed of Trust and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefore and all financing statements and continuation statements relating thereto to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refilled in such manner and in such places as Trustee or Holder shall -27- reasonably request and will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges. SECTION 6.21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Grantor, and the heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of Grantor, and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Holder and shall constitute covenants running with the Land. All references in this Deed of Trust to Grantor shall be deemed to include all such heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of Grantor. SECTION 6.22. MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION. The Loan Documents may only be modified or terminated by a written instrument or instruments intended for that purpose and executed by the party against which enforcement of the modification or termination is asserted. Any alleged modification or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party. SECTION 6.23. NO PARTNERSHIP. ETC. The relationship between Holder and Grantor is solely that of lender and borrower. Holder has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Grantor. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture, association or special relationship between Grantor and Holder or in any way make Holder a co-principal with Grantor with reference to the Property. All agreed contractual duties between or among Holder, Grantor and Trustee are set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and any additional implied covenants or duties are hereby disclaimed. Any inferences to the contrary of any of the foregoing are hereby expressly negated. SECTION 6.24. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS DEED OF TRUST, AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW. IN THE EVENT THAT THE "CHOICE OF LAW" RULES OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI CAN BE CONSTRUED OR INTERPRETED TO REQUIRE THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION TO GOVERN, THE "CHOICE OF LAW" RULES OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI SHALL NOT APPLY. SECTION 6.25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. In the event any dispute between Grantor and Lender is not resolved pursuant to the arbitration provision above, Grantor waives trial by jury in any court action or proceeding to which Grantor and Lender may be parties, arising out of, in connection with or in any way pertaining to, this instrument or any other documents evidencing or securing the loan transaction herein involved. It is agreed and understood that this waiver constitutes a waiver of trial by jury of all claims against all parties to such action or proceedings, including claims against parties who are not parties to this instrument, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise. This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by Grantor, and Grantor hereby represents that no representations of fact or opinion have been made by any individual to induce this waiver of trial by jury or to in any way modify or nullify its effect. Grantor further represents and warrants that it has been represented in the signing of this Note and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, or has had the opportunity to be represented by independent legal counsel selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel. Grantor agrees and consents that Lender may file an original counterpart or a copy of this document with any court as written evidence of the consent of Grantor to the waiver of its right to trial by jury. Grantor hereby waives personal service and consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with the Note or Loan Documents by the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Grantor at its address set forth on the signature page hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U. S. Mail. Grantor irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of -28- process upon Grantor in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Nothing in this document shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law and nothing in this Note will limit the right of Lender otherwise to bring proceedings against Grantor in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. SECTION 6.26. INSURANCE NOTICE. The following notice is given pursuant to Section 427.120 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended; nothing contained in such notice shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other document or agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Note and the transactions contemplated hereunder: "UNLESS YOU PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US, WE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS IN YOUR COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT WE PURCHASE MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. YOU MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY US, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY OUR AGREEMENT. IF WE PURCHASE INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES WE MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO YOUR TOTAL OUTSTANDING BALANCE OR OBLIGATION. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON YOUR OWN." SECTION 6.27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Grantor and Holder with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the indebtedness secured hereby and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Grantor and Holder with respect to the matters addressed in the Loan Documents. Grantor hereby acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in the Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized by Holder to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters addressed in the Loan Documents. SECTION 6.28. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Subject to the qualifications below, Holder shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Grantor to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Grantor, except that Holder may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Holder to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Holder pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Grantor only to the extent of Grantor's interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Holder, and Holder, by accepting the Note and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Grantor in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.28 shall not, however (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Holder to name Grantor as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale hereunder; (c) impair the right of Holder to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (d) impair the rights of Holder under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; or (e) constitute a waiver of the right of Holder to enforce the liability -29- and obligation of Grantor, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any and all liabilities, costs, losses (including any reduction in value of the Property or any other collateral or the loss of Holder's security interest therein), damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and court costs, if any), or claims suffered or incurred by Holder by reason of or in connection with any of the following: (i) any fraud committed by Grantor or any affiliate of Grantor in connection with the Loan; (ii) any material representation contained in any of the Loan Documents or any report furnished pursuant to any of the Loan Documents by or on behalf of Grantor; (iii) the misappropriation of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards by Grantor; (iv) to the extent the security deposits are subject to their respective control, the failure of Grantor or any affiliate of Grantor, to properly apply any and all security deposits held by Grantor, or any affiliate of Grantor, or said person's failure to properly return same to tenants when due, or failure to deliver security deposits to Holder, any receiver or any person purchasing the Property or any part thereof at a foreclosure sale or upon the taking of possession of the Property or any part thereof by Holder, such receiver or other person.

WITNESSETH: THAT FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION and the debt hereinafter mentioned, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor does hereby presently bargain, grant, sell, set over, transfer, assign, convey, deliver, confirm and warrant unto the Assignee, its successors and assigns, as an absolute assignment and not merely one for security, all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor in, under and to all leases, rental agreements, and occupancy agreements, together with all amendments and modifications thereof, now or hereafter entered into, whether oral or written (collectively referred to as the "Leases"), which demise any portion of the real property located in St. Louis County, Missouri, and more particularly described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the "Premises"), which is incorporated herein by reference, together with any and all amendments, modifications, extensions and renewals thereof; together with any guarantees of the tenant's obligations thereunder, together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all rents, earnings, issues, revenues, income, payments and profits arising out of said Leases or out of the Premises or any part thereof, together with the right to all proceeds payable to the Assignor pursuant to any purchase options on the part of the tenants under the Leases, together with all payments derived there from including but not limited to claims for recovery of damages done to the Premises by any tenants or subtenants or for the abatement of any nuisance existing thereon as the result of the conduct of any tenant or subtenant, claims for damages resulting from default under said Leases whether resulting from acts of insolvency or acts of bankruptcy or otherwise, and lump sum payments for the cancellation of said Leases or the waiver of any obligation or term thereof prior to the expiration date (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Rents"). This Assignment is a perfected, present, absolute, direct and unconditional assignment and transfer of all Assignor's right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Rents made in consideration of the $8,000,000.00 loan made by Assignee to Assignor and as additional security for the repayment of the indebtedness and other obligations set forth in the Mortgage (defined herein). AND THE ASSIGNOR FURTHER AGREES, COVENANTS AND ASSIGNS AS FOLLOWS: 1. Performance of Leases: To faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of said Leases by the lessor to be performed; to use its best efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of said Leases by the tenants to be performed; not to borrow against, pledge or assign any rentals due under the Leases, nor consent to a subordination or assignment of the interests of the tenants thereunder to any party other than Assignee, nor anticipate the rents thereunder for more than one (1) month in advance or reduce the amount of the Rents and other payments, thereunder. Assignor will, at the Assignee's request, assign and transfer to the Assignee a confirmatory assignment of leases as the Assignee may from time to time require. Assignor will promptly (but in any event within five (5) business days from the time Assignor has actual knowledge thereof) notify Assignee if Assignor has reason to believe it will be unable to fulfill its obligations as landlord under any lease, or if Assignor has knowledge of any set of facts which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of Assignor under any of the Leases. 2. Protect Security. At the Assignor's sole cost and expense, to appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or -2- liabilities of the lessor thereunder and to pay all costs and expenses of the Assignee, including attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, at any such action or proceeding in which the Assignee in its sole discretion may appear. 3. Representations and Warranties: The Assignor hereby represents and warrants that the Assignor has full right and title to assign said Leases and Rents; that Assignor has presented Assignee with true and complete copies of all of the Leases; that no other assignment of any interest therein has been made by the Assignor, that there are no existing defaults of a material nature under the provisions of said Leases; and that the tenants under the Leases have no defenses, setoffs or counterclaims against the Assignor. 4. Absolute and Present Assignment: It is understood and agreed that the Assignment granted herein shall constitute a perfected, absolute, and present assignment from Assignor to Assignee and not an assignment for security purposes only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until a Default should exist under the terms of: (a) that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith in the principal amount of $8,000,000.00, executed by Assignor in favor of Assignee (the "Note"), (b) that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment and Security Agreement (the "Mortgage") of even date herewith executed by Assignor in favor of Assignee, that certain Environmental Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith executed by Assignor in favor of Assignee (the "Indemnity") (the Mortgage and the Indemnity are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Security Documents"); Assignor shall have the right to collect, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents and to retain, use and enjoy the same. 5. No Obligation Upon. Assignee. Assignee's acceptance of the assignment of Leases and Rents provided for herein shall not obligate Assignee to appear in nor defend any proceeding relating to any of the Leases or to the Premises, take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses or perform any obligation or liability under the Leases, or assume any obligation for any deposits delivered to Assignor by any tenant, except as is set forth in paragraph 8 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Assignor fail to perform, comply with or discharge any obligations of Assignor under any Lease, or should the Assignee become aware of or be notified by any tenant under any Lease of a failure on the part of Assignor to so perform, comply with or discharge its obligations under said Lease, Assignee may, at its sole discretion, and without waiving or releasing Assignor from any obligation contained in this Assignment, the Note, or any of the Security Documents, remedy such failure, and the Assignor hereby agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by the Assignee in remedying any such failure together with interest at the rate then in effect under the terms of the Note (which may be the Default Rate set forth in the Note or the Mortgage). All such sums, together with interest as aforesaid, shall become additional indebtedness due under die Note and secured by the Security Documents, but no such event shall be deemed to relieve the Assignor from any default hereunder or thereunder. 6. Remedies: Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a Default under the Note or one of the Security Documents, or a default in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein, taking into account any applicable grace or cure periods, the Assignee may declare all indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Documents immediately due and payable, may revoke the privilege granted Assignor hereunder to collect the Rents, and may, at its option, without notice, either in person or by agent, with or without taking possession of or entering the Premises, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by receiver to be appointed by the Court, collect all the Rents payable under the Leases and enforce the payment thereof and exercise all the rights of Assignor under the Leases and all of the rights of the Assignee hereunder, any may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Premises, or any part thereof; may cancel, enforce or modify the Leases and fix or modify the Rents, and do any acts which the Assignee deems proper to protect the security hereof with or without taking possession of the Premises, and may apply the same to the costs and expenses of operation, management and collection, including attorneys' fees, to the payment of the expenses of any agent appointed by the Assignee, to the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and expenditures for the upkeep of the Premises, to the performance of the lessor's obligations under the Leases and to any indebtedness evidenced by the Note or due pursuant to any of the Security Documents, all in such order as the Assignee may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Premises, the collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect notice of default in any of the Security Documents or invalidate any act pursuant to such notice or in any way operate to prevent the Assignee from pursuing any remedy which it now or hereafter may have under the terms or conditions of the Note, of the Mortgage or any other instrument securing the Note. -3- 7. Assignor to Hold Assignee Harmless: The Assignor shall and does hereby agree to defend (with counsel acceptable to Assignee) indemnify and hold the Assignee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under said Leases or by reason of this Assignment and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in said Leases. Should the Assignee incur any such liability, or any costs or expenses in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees and expenses, shall be added to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Documents and the Assignor shall reimburse the Assignee therefore immediately upon demand, and the continuing failure of the Assignor to do so shall constitute a default hereunder and a Default under the Security Documents. 8. Security Deposits: The Assignor agrees, upon a Default under the Note or the Security Documents, to transfer to the Assignee any security deposits held by the Assignor under the terms of the Leases. The Assignor agrees that such security deposits may be held by the Assignee without any allowance of interest thereon, and shall become the absolute property of the Assignee upon a Default under the Note or the Security Documents to be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Leases. Until the Assignee makes such demand and the deposits are paid over to Assignee, the Assignee assumes no responsibility to the tenants for any such security deposits. 9. Authorization to Tenants: The tenants under the Leases are hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to recognize the claims of the Assignee or any receiver appointed hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by the Assignee or such receiver, or the validity or the amount of indebtedness owing to the Assignee, or the existence of any Default under the Note or the Security Documents, or under or by reason of this Assignment, or the application to be made by the Assignee or receiver. The Assignor hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the tenants to pay to the Assignee or such receiver all sums due under the Leases and consents and directs that said sums shall be paid to the Assignee or any such receiver in accordance with the terms of its receivership without the necessity for a judicial determination that a default has occurred hereunder, under the Note or under any of the Security Documents, or that the Assignee is entitled to exercise its rights hereunder, and to the extent such sums are paid to the Assignee for the same. The sole signature of the Assignee or such receiver shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this Assignment, and the sole receipt of the Assignee or such receiver for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefore to any such tenants or occupants of the Premises. Checks for all or any part of the Rents collected under this Assignment shall upon notice from the Assignee or such receiver be drawn to the exclusive order of the Assignee or such receiver. 10. No Additional Leases: Assignor shall not enter into any lease of the Premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written approval of Assignee, except leases of 10,000 square feet or less and otherwise in the normal course of Assignor's operation of the Premises as a first class office building. 11. Satisfaction: Upon the payment in full of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Documents, this Assignment shall without the need for any further satisfaction or release become null and void and shall be of no further effect 12. Assignee Creditor of the Tenants: Upon or at any time during the continuance of a default in payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Assignment, the Note, or any of the Security Documents, and following the expiration of any applicable grace and/or cure period, the Assignor agrees that the Assignee, not the Assignor, shall be and be deemed to be the creditor of the tenants in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution or receivership proceedings affecting such tenants (without obligation on the part of the Assignee, however, to file or make timely filings of claims of such proceedings or otherwise to pursue creditor's rights therein and reserving the right to the Assignor to make such filing in such event) with an option to the Assignee to apply any money received by the Assignee as such creditor in reduction of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. 13. Assignee Attorney In Fact: The Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints the Assignee and its successors and assigns as its agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to exercise -4- any rights or remedies hereunder and execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment such instruments as the Assignee may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment effective. 14. No Mortgage in Possession: Nothing herein contained and no actions taken pursuant to this Assignment shall be construed as constituting the Assignee a "mortgage in possession." 15. Continuing Rights: The rights and powers of the Assignee or any receiver hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect until the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or secured by the Security Documents is paid in full, and shall continue after commencement of a foreclosure action and after foreclosure sale and until expiration of the equity of redemption if the Assignee shall be purchaser at the foreclosure sale. 16. Successors and Assigns: This Assignment and each and every covenant, agreement and provision hereof shall be binding upon the Assignor and their heirs, successors and assigns, including without limitation each and every record owner of the Premises or any other person having an interest therein and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its successors and assigns. As used herein, the words "successors and assigns" shall also be deemed to mean the heirs, executors, representatives and administrators of any natural person who is a party to this Assignment. 17. Governing Law: This Assignment is intended to be governed by the laws of the state of Missouri. 18. Validity Clause: It is the intent of this Assignment to confer to the Assignee the rights and benefits hereunder to the full extent allowable by law. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provisions hereof shall not render any other provision or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid. Any provisions found to be unenforceable shall be severable from this Assignment. 19. Notices: Any notice that any party hereto may desire or may be required to give to any other party shall be in writing given in the manner prescribed in the Loan Agreement. 20. Cumulative with Other Documents: This Assignment, and the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Assignor hereunder, are cumulative with, and shall not supersede or be superseded by any of the Security Documents or by any other instrument, agreement or other document executed by the Assignor in connection with the Note, the Security Documents or otherwise. 21. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Assignor's liability hereunder is limited as provided in Section 6.28 of the Deed of Trust, Assignment and Security Agreement, IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Assignor has executed or has caused this Absolute Assignment of Rents and Leases to be executed as of the date first above written.

NOTICE TO LENDER. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each report pertaining to the Property or to Borrower prepared by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to any Environmental Requirement. Borrower shall immediately advise Lender in writing of any Environmental Claim or of the discovery of any Hazardous Material on the Property, as soon as Borrower first obtains knowledge thereof, including a full description of the nature and extent of the Environmental Claim and/or Hazardous Material and all relevant circumstances. 5. SITE ASSESSMENTS AND INFORMATION. If Lender shall ever have reason to believe that any Hazardous Material affects the Property, or if any Environmental Claim is made or threatened, or if a Default (as defined in the Mortgage) shall have occurred under the Documents, or upon the occurrence of the Release Date (hereinafter defined) if requested by Lender, Borrower shall at its expense, provide to Lender from time to time, in each case within thirty (30) days after Lender's request or such longer time as is reasonably required for such consulting firm to complete such Assessment, an Environmental Assessment (hereinafter defined) made after the date of Lender's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Default has occurred or an Environmental Claim is made or threatened, if Lender requests an Environmental Assessment within twelve ( 12) months from receipt of a prior Environmental Assessment and such new Environmental Assessment does not disclose the existence or probable existence of Hazardous Material on the Property, then Lender shall pay for the cost of such new Environmental Assessment. As used in this Agreement, the term "Environmental Assessment" means a report (including all drafts thereof) of an environmental assessment of the Property of such scope (including but not limited to the taking of soil borings and air and groundwater samples and other above and below ground testing) as Lender may request, by a consulting firm acceptable to Lender and made in accordance with Lender's established guidelines. Borrower will cooperate with each consulting firm making any such Environmental Assessment and will supply to the consulting firm, from time to time and promptly on request, all information available to Borrower to facilitate the completion of the Environmental Assessment. If Borrower fails to furnish Lender within ten (10) days after Lender's request with a copy of an agreement with an acceptable environmental consulting firm to provide such Environmental Assessment, or if Borrower fails to furnish to Lender such Environmental Assessment within thirty (30) days after Lender's request, Lender may cause any such Environmental Assessment to be made at 3 Borrower's expense and risk. Lender and its designees are hereby granted access to the Property at any time or times, upon reasonable notice (which may be written or oral), and a license which is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to make or cause to be made such Environmental Assessments, Lender may disclose to interested parties any information Lender ever has about the environmental condition or compliance of the Property, but shall be under no duty to disclose any such information except as may be required by law. Lender shall be under no duty to make any Environmental Assessment of the Property, and in no event shall any such Environmental Assessment by Lender be or give rise to a representation that any Hazardous Material is or is not present on the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Requirement, nor shall Borrower or any other person be entitled to rely on any Environmental Assessment made by Lender or at Lender's request. Lender owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or any other person against, or to inform it of, any Hazardous Material or other adverse condition affecting the Property. 6. REMEDIAL ACTIONS. (a) If any Hazardous Material is discovered on the Property at any time and regardless of the cause, (i) Borrower shall promptly at Borrower's sole risk and expense remove, treat, and dispose of the Hazardous Material in compliance with all applicable Environmental Requirements and solely under Borrower's name (or if removal is prohibited by any Environmental Requirement, take whatever action is required by any Environmental Requirement), in addition to taking such other action as is necessary to have the full use and benefit of the Property as contemplated by the Documents, and provide Lender with satisfactory evidence thereof; and (ii) if requested by Lender, provide to Lender within thirty (30) days of Lender's request a bond, letter of credit or other financial assurance evidencing to Lender's satisfaction that all necessary funds are readily available to pay the costs and expenses of the actions required by clause (i) preceding and to discharge any assessments or liens established against the Property as a result of the presence of the Hazardous Material on the Property. Within fifteen (15) days after completion of such remedial actions, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an Environmental Assessment of the Property made after such completion and confirming to Lender's satisfaction that all required remedial action as stated above has been taken and successfully completed and that there is no evidence or suspicion of any contamination or risk of contamination on the Property or any adjacent property, or of violation of any Environmental Requirement, with respect to any such Hazardous Material. (b) Lender may, but shall never be obligated to, remove or cause the removal of any Hazardous Material from the Property (or if removal is prohibited by any Environmental Requirement, take or cause the taking of such other action as is required by any Environmental Requirement) if Borrower fails to promptly commence such remedial actions following discovery and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to the satisfaction of Lender (without limitation of Lender's rights to declare a default under any of the Documents and to exercise all rights and remedies available by reason thereof); and Lender and its designees are hereby granted access to the Property at any time or times, upon reasonable notice (which may be written or oral), and a license which is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to remove or cause such removal or to take or cause the taking of any such other action. 7. INDEMNITY. (a) Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnity, defend and hold (i) Lender; (ii) the Trustee(s) under the Mortgage (the "Trustee"); (iii) any persons or entities owned or controlled by, controlling, or under common control or affiliated with Lender and/or Trustee; (iv) any participants in the Loan; (v) the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Lender and/or Trustee, and/or such persons or entities; and (vi) the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing persons or entities (each an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against, and if and to the extent paid, reimburse them on demand for, any and all Environmental Damages (hereinafter defined). 4 Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall apply to each Indemnified Party with respect to Environmental Damages which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of the negligence of such (and/or any other) Indemnified Party. However, such indemnity shall not apply to a particular Indemnified Party to the extent that the subject of the indemnification is caused by or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that particular Indemnified Party. Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall diligently defend any Environmental Claim which affects the Property or is made or commenced against Lender, whether alone or together with Borrower or any other person, all at Borrower's own cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, at any time Lender may elect to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by Lender and at the cost and expense of Borrower. (b) As used in this Agreement, the term "Environmental Damages" means all claims, demands, liabilities (including strict liability), losses, damages (including consequential damages), causes of action, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of attorneys, consultants, contractors, experts and laboratories), of any and every kind or character, contingent or otherwise, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, made, incurred, suffered, brought, or imposed at any time and from time to time, whether before or after the Release Date (hereinafter defined) and arising in whole or in part from: (1) the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Property, or any escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, emission, release, discharge or disposal of any Hazardous Material on or from the Property, or the migration or release or threatened migration or release of any Hazardous Material to, from or through the Property, on or before the Release Date; or (2) any act, omission, event or circumstance existing or occurring in connection with the handling, treatment, containment, removal, storage, decontamination cleanup, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Material which is at any time on or before the Release Date present on the Property; or (3) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement because of any event or condition occurring or existing on or before the Release Date; or (4) any violation on or before the Release Date, of any Environmental Requirement in effect on or before the Release Date, regardless of whether any act, omission, event or circumstance giving rise to the violation constituted a violation at the time of the occurrence or inception of such act, omission, event or circumstance; or (5) any Environmental Claim, or the filing or imposition of any environmental lien against the Property, because of, resulting from, in connection with, or arising out of any of the matters referred to in subparagraphs (1) through (4) preceding; and regardless of whether any of the foregoing subparagraphs (1) through (5) was caused by Borrower or a tenant or subtenant, or a prior owner of the Property or its tenant or subtenant, or any third party, including but not limited to (i) injury or damage to any person, property or natural resource occurring on or off the Property, including but not limited to, the cost of demolition and rebuilding of any improvements on real property; (ii) the investigation or remediation of any such Hazardous Material or violation of Environmental Requirement, including but not limited to the preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any cleanup, remediation, removal, response, abatement, containment, closure, restoration, monitoring or similar work required by any Environmental Requirement or necessary to have full use and benefit of the Property as contemplated by the Documents (including any of the same in connection with any 5 foreclosure action or transfer in lieu thereof); (iii) all liability to pay or indemnify any person or governmental authority for costs expended in connection with any of the foregoing; (iv) the investigation and defense of any claim, whether or not such claim is ultimately defeated; and (v) the settlement of any claim or judgment. (c) As used in this Agreement, the term "Release Date" means the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date on which the indebtedness and obligations secured by the Mortgage have been paid and performed in full and the Mortgage has been released; or (ii) the date on which the lien of the Mortgage is fully and finally foreclosed or a conveyance by deed in lieu of such foreclosure is fully and finally effective and possession of the Property has been given to and accepted by the Purchaser or grantee free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Borrower and its successors and assigns; provided that, if such payment, performance, release, foreclosure or conveyance is challenged, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, the Release Date shall be deemed not to have occurred until such challenge is validly released, dismissed with prejudice or otherwise barred by law from further assertion. 8.

For this purpose, the fair market value of the Dissociated Member's Ownership Interest shall be computed as the amount which could reasonably be expected to be realized by such Member upon the sale of the Company at the time of occurrence of the event of Dissociation. If the Dissociated Member (or the Assignee of the Dissociated Member's Ownership Interest, as the case may be) and the Company cannot agree upon the fair market value of such Ownership Interest within thirty (30) days, the fair market value thereof shall be determined by appraisal, the Company and the Dissociated Member each to choose one appraiser and the two appraisers so chosen to choose a third appraiser. The decision of a majority of the appraisers as to the fair market value of such Ownership Interest shall be final and binding and may be enforced by legal proceedings.

This provision shall not apply to mergers between Members. 14.2 EFFECT OF DISSOLUTION - Upon dissolution, the Company shall cease to carry on its business, except insofar as may be necessary or appropriate for the winding up of its business, but its separate existence shall continue until a Certificate of Cancellation has been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware or until a decree terminating the Company has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. 14.3 DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS ON DISSOLUTION - Upon the winding up of the Company, the Company Property shall be distributed: 14.3.1 first, to creditors, including Members who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of Company liabilities; and 11 14.3.2 second, to Members in accordance with positive Capital Account balances taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Company's taxable year in which the liquidation occurs.
