that the Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land,
the Improvements and the Fixtures collectively referred to as the "REAL
PROPERTY") appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to
the Real Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Mortgage be deemed

Section 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and
interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by
Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not
an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms
of the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Mortgage, Lender grants
to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents.
Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all

Section 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real
property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined),
a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property to
the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property may
be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so
subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the "Collateral"). If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary
for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or
demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property)
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and
all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred
-5-
7
or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing
its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition
or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to
Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business
days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable
law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition
of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by
applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority
and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower's
(Debtor's) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and
the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will
become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on
the Land, described or referred to in this Mortgage, and this Mortgage, upon
being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein
such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as
a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform
Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to
Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of
Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Lockbox
Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the
Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Mortgage.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property
unto and to the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns,
forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express
condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the
time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this
Mortgage, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in
this Mortgage and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every
covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to

relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor,
and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no
term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between
Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower
are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the
Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and

Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.

without limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of
profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance
policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed

Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy
of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding
any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the
part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations
are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would
not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Mortgage in the absence of the
warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement.

creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the
Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or
recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or
future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the
lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the
Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees,

assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights
hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed,
pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to
be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign

the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this
Mortgage, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand,

or transfer of the Loan.
Section 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP
LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this
Mortgage which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose
of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt
or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower
-10-
12
will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is
advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be
unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a
defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less
than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and
payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other
Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction
shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the
Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall
have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120)
days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) If at any time the United States of America, any State
thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other
stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Mortgage, or any of the other Loan
Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
Section 5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Mortgage and the Note
shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole
election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more
security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property
to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written
request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to
Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount of this Mortgage, and containing terms, provisions and clauses
similar to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and
instruments as may be required by Lender.
Section 5.5 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an
affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record,
and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Note or other Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement
Note or other Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and

Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
Section 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for
-11-
13
repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower

of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for

whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
Section 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to
insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a

to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce

(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the
Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for
decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for
failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of
risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial
relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any
Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights of Lender under this Mortgage
shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to
proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.
Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated
but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law
or in equity.
Section 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing
or affecting the lien or priority of this Mortgage, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion

herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to or
exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the
Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event Lender commences a foreclosure
action against the Property, Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment
with respect to such obligations against Borrower and any guarantor or
indemnitor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4

simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower pursuant to
