-4-
agreed 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 Security Instrument be deemed conclusively to be real estate and mortgaged hereby.

By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and other property constituting the Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other 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, Mortgagee, 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 Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Mortgagee 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 Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to Mortgagor 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 Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper. The principal place of business of Mortgagor (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Mortgagee (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 Security Instrument, and this Security Instrument, 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. Mortgagor hereby pledges to Mortgagee any and all monies now or hereafter held by Mortgagee or on behalf of Mortgagee in connection with the Project Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts (as defined in the Reserve and Security Agreement) and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to the use and benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Project Loan Note, the Project Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Project Loan Documents, shall perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall fully abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Project Loan Note, the Project Loan Agreement and the other Project Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void, or, at Mortgagor’s request and expense, shall be assigned by Mortgagee to a new lender designated by Mortgagor or its successors and assigns; provided, however, that Mortgagor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release.

ARTICLE 4 – OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES
Section 4.1 Relationship of Mortgagor and Mortgagee. The relationship between Mortgagor, on the one hand, and Mortgagee, on the other, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Mortgagee has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Mortgagor, and no term or condition of any of the Project Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Note, this Security Instrument and the other Project Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Mortgagor, on the one hand, and Mortgagee, on the other, to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 4.2 No Reliance on Mortgagee. The general partners, members, and/or principals of Mortgagor are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Mortgagor and Mortgagee are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property. Mortgagor is not relying on Mortgagee’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 1.1(h) and (m) or Section 1.2, Mortgagee is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to any other agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses or other documents.
(a) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Mortgagee pursuant to this Security Instrument, the Project Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Note or the other Project Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Mortgagee.

Section 5.3 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.

To that end, subject to the terms of the Project Loan Agreement, Mortgagor, upon written request of Mortgagee, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee and/or its designee or designees substitute Project Loan Notes and security instruments provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the substitute Project Loan Notes is not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Project Loan Note, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all such component notes on the date created shall equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the component notes and (iv) the other terms, provisions and clauses of each of the component notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to those contained herein and in the Project Loan Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee; provided, however, that such modification, new notes or new provisions, when considered in the aggregate with all other Loan Documents, shall result in no economic change and no more than a de
