SECURITY AGREEMENT AND UCC FIXTURE FILING
THIS INSTRUMENT is a Real Estate Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and UCC

Collateral Agent (herein, together with its successors and assigns, called the “Mortgagee”).
WHEREAS, Mortgagor has concurrently herewith executed and delivered to Mortgagee a Credit
Agreement (as amended, modified, amended and restated, replaced, refinanced or otherwise
supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lenders named therein
have agreed to extend loans to Mortgagor in the aggregate principal amount of up to $62,500,000.00
(“Loans”) bearing interest and payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Loan
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Loans, the undertakings by Mortgagor in this instrument and the Loan Agreement,
any and all other sums (including, without limitation, any Incremental Loans (as defined in the
Loan Agreement) outstanding from time to time) which may at any time be due, owing or required to
be paid as herein or in the Loan Agreement provided, and any other Obligations (as defined in the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated on or around the date hereof (the “Guarantee and

supplemented from time to time) are herein called “Indebtedness Hereby Secured.”
NOW, THEREFORE:
TO SECURE the payment and performance of Indebtedness Hereby Secured and other good and
valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Mortgagor

INTEREST IN, CONVEY and SET OVER to Mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (as
defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) the real estate described in Exhibit A (“Real

Estate and all additions and accessions and all proceeds of all of the foregoing. All of the
foregoing shall hereinafter be referred to as “Personal Property.” The enumeration of any specific
articles of Personal Property shall in no way exclude or be held to exclude any items of property
not specifically enumerated.
AND TOGETHER with all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits thereof and
therefrom; and all of the land, estate, property and rights hereinabove described and hereby
conveyed and intended so to be, whether real, personal or mixed, and whether or not affixed or
annexed to the Real Estate are intended to be as a unit and are hereby understood, agreed and
declared to form a part and parcel of the Premises and to be appropriated to the use of the
Premises and for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to be real estate mortgaged and warranted
hereby.
AND TOGETHER with all real estate tax refunds and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of any of the Real Estate into cash or liquidated claims, including proceeds of
insurance maintained by Mortgagor and condemnation awards, any awards that may become due by reason
of the taking by eminent domain or any transfer in lieu thereof of the whole or any part of the
Premises or improvements or any rights appurtenant thereto, and any awards for change of grade of
streets, together with any and all moneys now or hereafter on deposit for the payment of real
estate taxes, assessments or common area charges levied against the Real Estate, unearned premiums

Estate or required by the Indenture.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and sundry of the Premises hereby mortgaged and warranted or intended
so to be, together with the rents, issues and profits thereof, unto Mortgagee forever, free from
all rights and benefits under and by virtue of the homestead exemption laws of the State of
Illinois (which rights and benefits are hereby expressly released and waived), for the uses and
purposes herein set forth, together with all right to retain possession of the Premises after any
default in the payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, or the breach of any
covenant or agreement herein contained, or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as
hereinafter defined.
PROVIDED, that if all Indebtedness Hereby Secured shall be duly and punctually paid and all
terms, provisions, conditions and agreements herein contained on the part of Mortgagor to be
performed
2
or observed shall be strictly performed and observed, then this Mortgage and the estate, right
and interest of Mortgagee in the Premises shall cease and be of no effect.
AND IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT:
1. Payment of Indebtedness. Mortgagor will promptly pay the principal and interest on
the Loans in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Loan Agreement, and all other
Indebtedness Hereby Secured, as the same become due, and will duly perform and observe all of the
covenants, agreements and provisions herein and in the Loan Agreement required.
2. Maintenance, Repair, Restoration, Prior Liens, Parking, Etc. Mortgagor will (a)
subject to the requirements of Sections 5 through 7 below, as applicable, promptly construct,
repair, restore and rebuild any buildings or improvements now or hereafter on the Premises or
Personal Property used on or in connection with the Real Estate which may become damaged or be
destroyed whether or not proceeds of insurance are available or sufficient for the purpose; (b)
keep the Premises and Personal Property in good condition and repair, without waste, and free from
mechanics’, materialmen’s or like liens or claims or other liens or claims for lien; (c) pay, when
due, any indebtedness which may be secured by a lien or charge on the Premises or Personal Property
superior to the lien hereof, and upon request exhibit satisfactory evidence of the discharge of
such prior lien to Mortgagee; (d) subject to the requirements of Sections 5 through 7 below, as
applicable, complete, within a reasonable time, any building or buildings now or at any time in the
process of erection upon the Premises; (e) comply with all requirements of law, municipal
ordinances or restrictions and covenants of record with respect to the Premises and Personal
Property and the use thereof; (f) make no material alterations in the Premises, except as permitted
by the Loan Agreement or required by law or municipal ordinance without Mortgagee’s prior written
consent, which may be given or withheld in its reasonable discretion; (g) make or permit no change
in the general nature of the occupancy of the Premises without Mortgagee’s prior written consent,
which may be given or withheld in its reasonable discretion; provided that Mortgagee hereby
consents to (1) the execution and delivery by Mortgagor, as landlord, and one of (A) American
Carbonation Corporation, (B) Air Liquide, (C) A+ Distribution, Inc., or (D) another third party
approved by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion, as tenant (“the Permitted Tenant”), of an
operating lease (the “Permitted Lease”) of a portion of the Premises, for the use by the Permitted
Tenant for, among other things, the purchase of carbon dioxide from Mortgagor and the conversion of
such carbon dioxide into dry ice or liquid, and otherwise on terms not materially different from
those set forth in Schedule 9.21 to the Loan Agreement, and (2) the execution and delivery by
Mortgagor, as landlord, and Community Synergies LLC, as tenant (“CS LLC”) of an operating lease
(the “CS Lease”) of a portion of the Premises for the use by the Permitted Tenant for, among other
things, the purchase of carbon dioxide from Mortgagor and the use of such carbon dioxide to grow
algae in CS LLC’s proprietary algae photobioreactors to be located on the leased portion of the
Premises, and otherwise on terms not materially different from those set forth in Schedule 9.21 to
the Loan Agreement; (h) pay all operating costs of the Premises; (i) not initiate nor acquiesce in
any zoning reclassification with respect to the Premises without Mortgagee’s prior written consent,
which may be given or withheld in its reasonable discretion; provided that Mortgagee hereby
consents to Mortgagor seeking, and obtaining, a rezoning classification for the Premises that would
permit Mortgagor to conduct its operations on the Premises as of right rather than as a permitted
nonconforming use under applicable laws and (j) provide, improve, grade, surface and thereafter
maintain, clean and repair any sidewalks, aisles, streets, driveways and sidewalk cuts and paved
areas for parking and for ingress, egress and right-of-way to and from the adjacent public
thoroughfares necessary or desirable for the use thereof; and reserve and use all such areas solely
and exclusively for the purpose of providing parking, ingress and
3
egress for tenants or invitees of tenants of the Premises; and Mortgagor will not reduce,
build upon, obstruct, redesignate or relocate any such areas or rights-of-way or lease or grant any
rights to use the same to any person except tenants and invitees of tenants of the Premises without
prior written consent of Mortgagee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of each of the
Permitted Lease and the CS Lease, Mortgagor shall execute and deliver, and shall cause the tenant
under the Permitted Lease or the CS Lease, as applicable, to execute and deliver, a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement with respect to the Permitted Lease or the CS Lease, as
applicable, in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee.
3. Taxes. Mortgagor will pay all general and special taxes, assessments, water
charges, sewer charges, and other fees, taxes, charges and assessments of every kind and nature
whatsoever (all herein generally called “Taxes”) assessed against or applicable to the Premises,
the Personal Property or any interest therein as required by the Loan Agreement.
4. Insurance Coverage. Mortgagor will keep insured all buildings and improvements on
the Premises and all Personal Property as required by the Loan Agreement.
5. Proceeds of Insurance. Mortgagor will promptly give Mortgagee notice of damage or
destruction to the Premises, and:
In case of loss to the Premises covered by a policy of insurance (“Insured Casualty”),
Mortgagee, or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, without the consent of Mortgagor, may settle and
adjust any claim with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss;
provided however, if (i) there are no existing Events of Default (as hereafter defined) and (ii)
the Insured Casualty is not a Material Casualty Event, Mortgagor may itself adjust losses subject
to the consent of Mortgagee. Subject to the Loan Agreement, Mortgagee is hereby authorized to
collect and receive any such insurance proceeds. Mortgagor shall turn over to Mortgagee any
insurance proceeds of (i) an Insured Casualty (other than a Material Casualty Event) which
proceeds, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $1,500,000, or (ii) a Material Casualty Event,
in each case substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business
Day next following) receipt thereof by Mortgagor.
Expenses incurred by Mortgagee in adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be
additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured, and shall be reimbursed to Mortgagee upon demand.
Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security
interest in all such insurance proceeds.
Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may, subject to Section 6 and the provisions of the Loan
Agreement, (i) apply the proceeds of insurance consequent upon any Insured Casualty to the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured in such order or manner as Mortgagee may elect or (ii) unless the
Insured Casualty is the result of a Material Casualty Event, make the proceeds available to
Mortgagor for the restoration, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Premises.
In the event proceeds of insurance of an Insured Casualty shall be made available to
Mortgagor, pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(b), for the restoring, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding of the Premises, Mortgagor covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to
be of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction; all to be effected
in accordance with plans and specifications to be first submitted to and approved by Mortgagee,
which approval may be given or withheld in
4
its reasonable discretion. Mortgagor shall pay all costs of such restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding in excess of the proceeds of insurance.
6. Disbursement of Insurance Proceeds.
(a) If Mortgagee receives the insurance proceeds of an Insured Casualty (other than a Material
Casualty Event), directly or as provided in Section 5 above, and such proceeds exceed $1,500,000
individually or in the aggregate such proceeds shall be (a) deposited and held in a blocked account
that is a deposit account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, in which Mortgagee holds
a first priority security interest, subject, as to priority, only to non-consensual liens permitted
under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement arising, and entitled to priority, by operation of law
(a “Deposit Account”), and (b) disbursed from such Deposit Account at the written direction
of the Mortgagee from time to time, pursuant to a construction escrow established with a title
insurance company reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, upon Mortgagee being furnished with (i)
satisfactory evidence of the cost and time of completion of restoration, repair, replacement and
rebuilding, (ii) funds sufficient, in addition to the proceeds of insurance, to complete the
proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (iii) such architect’s certificates,
waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements and other evidences of cost and payment as Mortgagee
may reasonably require and approve; provided that Mortgagee shall have the right to retain, at
Mortgagor’s sole expense, a construction monitor (a “Construction Monitor”) reasonably satisfactory
to Mortgagee in connection with Section 5, this Section 6 or Section 7. No payment made prior to
the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall exceed ninety
percent (90%) of the value of the labor and material for work performed from time to time. Funds
other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of insurance proceeds.
At all times the undisbursed balance of the insurance proceeds held by Mortgagee, together with
funds deposited or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Mortgagee by or on behalf of
Mortgagor for the purpose, shall be at least sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee,
to pay for the cost of completing the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding the Premises,
free and clear of all liens or claims for liens. The interest earned on amounts in the Deposit
Account shall inure to the benefit of, and any taxes payable with respect thereto shall be payable
by, Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall pay all costs in connection with disbursement of funds pursuant to
this Section 6(a).
(b) If Mortgagor or Mortgagee receives the insurance proceeds of an Insured Casualty (other
than a Material Casualty Event) and such proceeds, individually and in the aggregate, are less than
or equal to $1,500,000, then, if received by Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall promptly turn over such
proceeds to Mortgagor and, in any event, such proceeds, together with any other necessary funds
available to Mortgagor, shall be used by Mortgagor solely to complete, as soon as reasonably
practicable, the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding of the Premises, free and
clear of all liens or claims for liens.
(c) Without limitation of any other provision of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
(i) consult with, and rely upon the advice of, the Construction Monitor, and (ii) consult with and
rely on instructions from Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII of the Loan Agreement,
in each case in connection with this Section 6 and Section 5.
7. Condemnation.
5
(a) Mortgagor hereby (i) grants to Mortgagee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties,
a security interest in, and (ii) assigns, transfers and sets over unto Mortgagee the entire
proceeds of, any award or claim for damages for any of the Premises taken or damaged under the
power of eminent domain or by condemnation including damages to remainder (“Condemnation
Proceeds”). Mortgagor shall turn over to Mortgagee any Condemnation Proceeds that (i) individually
or in the aggregate, exceed $1,500,000 and are not the result of a Material Casualty Event, or (ii)
are the result of a Material Casualty Event, in each case substantially simultaneously with (and in
any event not later than the third Business Day next following) receipt thereof by Mortgagor.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 7 or in the Loan Agreement, Mortgagee may apply the
Condemnation Proceeds in reduction of Indebtedness Hereby Secured then most remotely to be paid,
whether due or not; provided, however, that, unless such Condemnation Proceeds are the result of a
Material Casualty Event, if in the judgment of Mortgagee the Premises can be restored or rebuilt to
an economic unit not less valuable than prior to the condemnation, and adequately securing the
outstanding balance of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to restore
or rebuild the Premises; in which event, provided that there then exists no uncured Event of
Default, the Condemnation Proceeds held by Mortgagee shall be used to reimburse Mortgagor for the
cost of such rebuilding or restoring. If Mortgagor is permitted to rebuild or restore the Premises
as aforesaid and the Condemnation Proceeds exceed $1,500,000 individually or in the aggregate, such
rebuilding or restoration shall be effected in accordance with plans and specifications submitted
to and approved in advance by Mortgagee (which approval may be given or withheld in its reasonable
discretion) and the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid out in the same manner as provided in
Section 6(a) for the payment of insurance proceeds towards the cost of rebuilding or restoration.
If the amount of Condemnation Proceeds is insufficient to cover the cost of rebuilding or
restoration, Mortgagor shall pay such costs in excess of the Condemnation Proceeds before being
entitled to reimbursement out of the Condemnation Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of the Loan
Agreement, any surplus which may remain out of the Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such
costs of rebuilding or restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied on account of the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured then most remotely to be paid or be paid to any other party entitled
thereto. All Condemnation Proceeds turned over to Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 7(a), or
received directly by Mortgagee, and not applied in reduction of Indebtedness Hereby Secured then
most remotely to be paid shall be deposited into a Deposit Account. The interest earned on amounts
in the Deposit Account shall inure to the benefit of, and any taxes payable with respect thereto
shall be payable by, Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall pay all costs in connection with disbursement of
funds pursuant to this Section 7(a).
(b) If Mortgagor receives Condemnation Proceeds that are not the result of a Material Casualty
Event and such Condemnation Proceeds, individually and in the aggregate, are less than or equal to
$1,500,000, such Condemnation Proceeds, together with any other necessary funds available to
Mortgagor, shall be used by Mortgagor solely to complete, as soon as reasonably practicable, the
proposed rebuilding or restoration of the Premises, free and clear of all liens or claims for liens
and in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved in advance by Mortgagee
(which approval may be given or withheld in its reasonable discretion).
(c) Without limitation of any other provision of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
(i) consult with, and rely upon the advice of, the Construction Monitor, and (ii) consult with and
rely on instructions from Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII of the Loan Agreement,
in each case in connection with this Section 7.
6
8. Stamp Tax. If any tax is due or becomes due in respect of the extension of the
Loans, Mortgagor shall pay such tax in the manner required by such law.
9. Prepayment Privilege. Mortgagor may prepay the principal of the Loans at the times,
to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement.
10. Effect of Extensions of Time, Amendments on Junior Liens and Others. If payment
of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, or any part thereof, be extended or varied, or if any part of
the security be released, all persons now or at any time hereafter liable therefor, or interested
in the Premises, shall be held to assent to such extension, variation or release and their
liability, and the lien and all provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect; the
right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Mortgagee, notwithstanding
any such extension, variation or release. Any junior mortgage, or other lien upon the Premises or
any interest therein, shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagee to amend, modify and supplement
this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or
any other document or instrument executed and delivered, or delivered, in connection therewith and
the assignment of rents and security agreement contained herein, and to extend the maturity of the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured, in each and every case without obtaining the consent of the holder of
such junior lien and without the lien of this Mortgage, or any part thereof, losing its priority
over the rights of any such junior lien.
11. Mortgagee’s Performance of Mortgagor’s Obligations. In case of an Event of
Default, Mortgagee either before or after acceleration of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or the
foreclosure of the lien hereof and during the period of redemption, if any, may, but shall not be
required to, make any payment or perform any act herein in any form and manner deemed expedient to
Mortgagee. Mortgagee may, but shall not be required to, make full or partial payments of principal
or interest on superior encumbrances, if any, and pay, purchase, discharge, compromise or settle
any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture,
contest any tax or assessment, and may, but shall not be required to, complete construction,
furnishing and equipping of the improvements upon the Premises and rent, operate and manage the
Premises and the Personal Property and pay operating costs and expenses, including management fees,
of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Premises shall be operational and
usable. The amount of all monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized, and all expenses
paid or incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and monies advanced to protect
the Premises and the lien hereof, shall be additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured, whether or not
they exceed the amount of the Loans, and shall become immediately due and payable without notice,
and with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 2.06 of the Loan Agreement (herein
called the “Default Rate”). Inaction of Mortgagee shall never be considered as a waiver of any
right accruing to it on account of any default on the part of Mortgagor. Mortgagee, in making any
payment hereby authorized: (a) relating to taxes and assessments, may do so according to any xxxx,
statement or estimate, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture,
tax lien or title or claim thereof; (b) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of
any other superior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for
lien which may be asserted; or (c) in connection with the completion of construction, furnishing or
equipping of the Premises, the rental, operation or management of the Premises or the payment of
operating costs and expenses thereof may do so in such amounts and to such persons as Mortgagee may
deem appropriate and may enter into such contracts therefor as Mortgagee may deem appropriate or
may perform the same itself.
7
12. Inspection of Premises. Mortgagee may inspect the Premises at all reasonable
times and shall have access thereto permitted for that purpose as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
13. Restrictions on Transfer. It shall be an immediate Event of Default and default
hereunder if, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee:
(a) Mortgagor shall create, effect, lease, contract or consent to or shall suffer or permit
any conveyance, sale, encumbrance, lien or alienation of the Premises or any part thereof or
interest therein, except for (i) liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Loan Agreement, (ii) to
the extent not prohibited under the Loan Agreement, sales or other dispositions of any equipment or
machinery constituting part of the Premises no longer useful in connection with the operation of
the Premises, (iii) to the extent not prohibited under the Loan Agreement, sales of inventory in
the ordinary course of business, and (iv) the Pain Lease; or
(b) If all or any part of the direct interest in Mortgagor or any of the beneficial interest
in Mortgagor, or any successor-in-interest thereof shall be sold, assigned or transferred, or
contracted to be sold, assigned or transferred without the prior consent of Mortgagee;
and in each case it shall be an Event of Default even though such conveyance, sale, assignment,
encumbrance, lien or transfer is effected voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise.
14. Events of Default. If any of the Events of Default set forth in the Loan
Agreement or any other events of default hereunder (collectively herein called “Events of Default”)
shall occur, then Mortgagee is authorized and empowered, at its option, without affecting the lien
hereby created or the priority of said lien or any right of Mortgagee hereunder, to declare,
without further notice all Indebtedness Hereby Secured immediately due and payable, whether or not
such default be thereafter remedied by Mortgagor, and Mortgagee may immediately proceed to
foreclose this Mortgage and to exercise any right, power or remedy provided by this Mortgage, the
Loan Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, any other document securing the Loans or
any other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or by law or in equity.
15. Foreclosure. When the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or any part thereof shall
become due, by acceleration or otherwise, Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose the lien
hereof for the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or any part thereof. In any suit or proceeding to
foreclose the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the
decree for sale, all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of
Mortgagee for attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence,
stenographers’ charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be
expended after entry of the decree) of procuring abstracts of title, title searches and
examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title to
prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at sales, which may be had pursuant to such decree,
the true conditions of the title to or value of the Premises. All expenditures and expenses in
this Section mentioned and expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of said Premises
and the maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage, including the fees of any attorney employed by
Mortgagee in any litigation or proceedings affecting this Mortgage, the Loans or the Premises,
including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of
any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor,
with interest thereon at the Default Rate.
8
16. Receiver. Upon, or at any time after, the filing of a complaint to foreclose
this Mortgage, the court may appoint a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment shall be made as
provided before or after sale, without notice, without regard to solvency or insolvency of
Mortgagor and without regard to the then value of the Premises or whether the same shall be then
occupied as a homestead or not. Mortgagee or any holder of the Loans may be appointed as such
receiver. Such receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the
Premises during the pendency of such foreclosure suit and, in case of a sale and a deficiency,
during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, whether there be a redemption or not, as
well as during any further times when Mortgagor, except for the intervention of such receiver,
would be entitled to collection of such rents, issues and profits and all other powers which may be
necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and
operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. The court may, from time to time,
authorize the receiver to apply the net income from the Premises in his hands in payment in whole
or in part of:
(a) the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or the indebtedness secured by any decree foreclosing this
Mortgage, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien
hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to the foreclosure sale; or
(b) the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.
17. Insurance Upon Foreclosure. In case of an insured loss after foreclosure
proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any insurance policies, if not applied (subject
to Sections 5 and 6 hereof) in Mortgagee’s sole discretion to rebuilding or restoring the buildings
or improvements, shall be used to pay the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure
and any balance shall be paid as the court may direct. In the case of foreclosure of this
Mortgage, the court may provide in its decree that the decree creditor may cause a new loss payable
clause to be attached to each casualty insurance policy making the proceeds payable to decree
creditors. Any such foreclosure decree may further provide that in case of one or more redemptions
under said decree, each successive redemptor may cause the preceding loss clause attached to each
casualty insurance policy to be canceled and a new loss clause to be attached thereto, making the
proceeds thereunder payable to such redemptor. In the event of foreclosure sale, Mortgagee is
authorized, without the consent of Mortgagor, to assign any and all insurance policies to the
purchaser at the sale or to take such other steps as Mortgagee may deem advisable to cause the
interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of the said insurance policies.
18. Waiver of Reinstatement and Redemption Rights. To the full extent permitted by
law, Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take any advantage of, any stay, exemption or extension law or any
so-called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time hereafter in force, or claim, take or insist upon any
benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or
appraisement of the Premises, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or to decree, judgment or order of any court of
competent jurisdiction, or after such sale or sales claim exercise any rights under any statute now
or hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, or relating to the
marshalling thereof, upon foreclosure sale or other enforcement hereof. Mortgagor expressly waives
any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption from sale under any order or decree of
foreclosure of this Mortgage on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every person, excepting
only decree or judgment creditors of Mortgagor acquiring any interest or title to the Premises
subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights of
9
reinstatement and redemption of Mortgagor and of all other persons are and shall be deemed to
be hereby waived to the full extent permitted by law. Mortgagor will not invoke or utilize any
such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power and remedy
as though no such law or laws have been made or enacted.
19. Mortgagee-in-Possession. Nothing shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a
mortgagee-in-possession in the absence of actual taking of possession of the Premises by Mortgagee.
20. Mortgagee’s Right of Possession. Upon or at any time after filing a complaint to
foreclose this Mortgage, the court may appoint Mortgagee as mortgagee-in-possession of the
Premises. Mortgagor hereby waives any rights it may have to object to such appointment. Such
appointment may be made before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Mortgagor and without regard to the then value of the Premises. Upon such
appointment, Mortgagee shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Premises, or any part
thereof, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and Mortgagor shall surrender such possession to
Mortgagee, together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts of Mortgagor as may be
necessary or desirable in connection with the management and operation of the Premises. Mortgagee
may exclude Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom and may act as attorney in fact or
agent of Mortgagor, or in its own name as Mortgagee, and under the powers herein granted, hold,
operate, manage and control the Premises and conduct the business thereof in such manner as it
deems proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the avails, rents, issues and
profits of the Premises, including actions for the recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer
and actions in distress for rent, and with full power:
(a) to cancel or terminate any lease or sublease for any cause or on any grounds that would
entitle Mortgagor to cancel the same;
(b) to elect or disaffirm any lease or sublease which is then subordinate to the lien hereof
except to the extent proscribed by any non-disturbance agreement to which Mortgagee is a party;
(c) to extend or modify any then existing leases and to make new leases, which extensions,
modifications and new leases may provide for terms to expire or for options to lessees to extend or
renew terms to expire beyond the maturity date of the Indebtedness Secured Hereby and beyond the
date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it
being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be
contained therein shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all persons whose interests in the Premises
are subject to the lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale,
notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the mortgage indebtedness, satisfaction of
any foreclosure decree, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser;
(d) to make all necessary or proper repairs, decorating, renewals, replacements, alterations,
additions, betterments and improvements to the Premises as to it may seem judicious;
(e) to insure and reinsure the same and all risks incidental of Mortgagee’s possession,
operation and management thereof;
(f) to receive all of such avails, rents, issues and profits hereby granting full power and
authority to exercise each and every of the rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and
all
10
times hereafter, without notice to Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or
discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability
under any leases. Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless
of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under said leases or
under or by reason of the assignment thereof 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 Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage, under said leases or under or
by reason of the assignment thereof, or in the defense of any claims or demands, the amount
thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Indebtedness
Hereby Secured and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand; and
(g) to use and apply the avails, rents, issues, profits and proceeds of the Premises in
payment of or on account of the following, in such order as Mortgagee may determine in its sole
discretion:
(i) to the payment of the operating expenses of the Premises, including cost of management and
leasing thereof (which shall include reasonable compensation to Mortgagee and its agent or agents
if management be delegated to an agent or agents, and shall also include lease commissions and
other compensation and expenses of seeking and procuring tenants and entering into leases),
established claims for damages, if any, and premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized;
(ii) to the payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due
on the Premises; and, if this is a leasehold mortgage, of all rents due or which may become
hereafter due under the underlying lease;
(iii) to the payment of all repairs, decorating, renewals, replacements, alterations,
additions, betterments and improvements of the Premises, including but not limited to the cost from
time to time of installing or replacing refrigeration and gas or electric stoves therein, and of
placing the Premises in such condition as will, in the judgment of Mortgagee, make it readily
rentable; and
(iv) to the payment in full of any Indebtedness Hereby Secured (the amounts so applied to be
distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Indebtedness
Hereby Secured owed to them on the date of any such application).
21. Title in Mortgagor’s Successors. If ownership of the Premises becomes vested in a
person or persons other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such
successor or successors in interest of Mortgagor with reference to this Mortgage and the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured in the same manner as with Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall give immediate
written notice to Mortgagee of any conveyance, transfer or change of ownership of the Premises.
Nothing in this Section shall vary or negate the provisions of Section 13 hereof.
22. Assignment of Rents, Issues and Profits.
11
(a) Assignment. Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties all the rents, issues and profits of the Premises and all present
and future leases upon all or any part of the Premises and any and all extensions and renewals
thereof (“Leases”) and all security deposits or interest therein now or hereafter held by
Mortgagor, and hereby gives to and confers upon Mortgagee the right, power and authority to collect
such rents, issues and profits. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, at the option of Mortgagee at any time and from time to time, to demand, receive
and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to xxx in the name of
Mortgagor or Mortgagee for all such rents, issues and profits and apply the same to the
indebtedness secured hereby. The assignment of the rents, issues and profits of the Premises in
this Section is intended to be an absolute assignment from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and not merely
the passing of a security interest.
(b) Mortgagor’s Representations. Mortgagor represents that: (i) it has made no prior
assignment or pledge of the rents assigned hereby or of Mortgagor’s interest in any of the Leases;
(ii) to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge no default exists in any of the Leases; (iii) to the best
of Mortgagor’s knowledge none of the Leases have been modified; and (iv) no prepayment of any
installment of rent for more than one (1) month due under any of the Leases has been received by
Mortgagor.
(c) Negative Covenants of Mortgagor. Mortgagor will not, without Mortgagee’s prior
written consent, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion: (i) execute an assignment
or pledge of the rents from the Premises or any part thereof or of Mortgagor’s interest in any of
the Leases; (ii) terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any of the Leases except
in the ordinary course of business; (iii) modify, extend or otherwise alter the terms of any of the
Leases except in the ordinary course of business; (iv) accept prepayments more than one month in
advance of any installments of rents to become due under any of the Leases; or (v) execute any
lease of all or any portion of the Premises except for actual occupancy by the lessee thereunder.
(d) Affirmative Covenants of Mortgagor. Mortgagor at its sole cost and expense will
(i) at all times promptly and faithfully abide by, discharge or perform all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements contained in the Leases; (ii) enforce or secure the performance of all of
the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Leases on the part of the lessees to be kept and
performed; (iii) 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 liabilities of Mortgagor, as
lessor, and of the lessees thereunder, and pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Mortgagee,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Mortgagee may
appear; (iv) transfer and assign to Mortgagee any and all Leases subsequently entered into, which
shall be made upon the same or substantially the same terms and conditions (at current market
rates) as contained in the Leases presently in effect, and make, execute and deliver to Mortgagee
upon demand any and all instruments required to effectuate said assignment; (v) furnish to
Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement
containing the names of all lessees of the Premises or any part thereof, the terms of their
respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals payable thereunder as to Leases in which
Mortgagor has an interest; (vi) use, within five (5) days of the demand therefor by Mortgagee,
commercially reasonable efforts to request from any lessee under any of the Leases a certificate
with respect to the status thereof as to Leases in which Mortgagor has an interest; and (vii)
furnish Mortgagee promptly with copies of any notices of default which Mortgagor may at any time
forward to any lessee of the Premises or any part thereof.
12
(e) Defeasance. Until an Event of Default, Mortgagee hereby grants Mortgagor a
revocable license to collect upon, but not prior to accrual, all rents, issues, profits and
advances from the Premises and to retain, use and enjoy the same. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default under this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, such license shall be automatically revoked.
23. Collection Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, but
without obligation so to do and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereof, may make or
do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the
security hereof, including specifically, without limiting its general powers, the right to appear
in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Mortgagee, and also the right to perform and discharge each and every obligation,
covenant and agreement of Mortgagor in the Leases contained, and in exercising any such powers to
incur and pay necessary and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
all at the expense of Mortgagor.
(b) Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to
perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of
this assignment. Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless of
and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under the Leases or
under or by reason of this Mortgage and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which
may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertaking on its part to
perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases. Should
Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage under the Leases or under or by reason of this
assignment or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including
reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be secured hereby, and Mortgagor
shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor with interest at the Default Rate immediately upon demand.
(c) A demand on any lessee by Mortgagee for the payment of the rent on any Event of Default
claimed by Mortgagee shall be sufficient warrant to the lessee to make future payment of rents to
Mortgagee without the necessity for further consent by Mortgagor, and any person may and is hereby
authorized to rely thereon.
(d) To the extent that Mortgagor has the right to so do, Mortgagor does further specifically
authorize and instruct each and every present and future lessee of the whole or any part of the
Premises to pay all unpaid rental agreed upon in any tenancy to Mortgagee upon receipt of demand
from Mortgagee to pay the same, and Mortgagor hereby waives the right, claim or demand it may now
or hereafter have against any such lessee by reason of such payment of rental to Mortgagee or
compliance with other requirements of Mortgagee pursuant to this assignment. Mortgagee shall make
a demand on such lessees only after an Event of Default.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may,
without further notice, either in person or by agent with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and, either with or without taking
possession of the Premises, in the name of Mortgagor or in its own name xxx for or otherwise
collect and receive such rents, issues, profits and advances, including those past due and unpaid,
and apply the same, less
13
reasonable costs and expenses of operation and collection, including, but not being limited
to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, management fees and broker’s commissions, upon any Indebtedness
Secured Hereby, and in such order as Mortgagee may determine. Mortgagee reserves, within its own
discretion, the right to determine the method of collection and the extent to which enforcement of
collection of delinquent rents shall be prosecuted and shall not be accountable for more monies
than it actually receives from the Premises. The entering upon and taking possession of the
Premises or the collection of such rents, issues, profits and advances, and the application
thereof, as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default hereunder and Mortgagee may continue to
so possess and collect even after any such default has been cured. Mortgagor agrees that it will
facilitate in all reasonable ways Mortgagee’s collection of said rents, and will, upon request by
Mortgagee, promptly execute a written notice to each lessee directing the lessee to pay rent to
Mortgagee.
24. Security Agreement. This instrument constitutes a Security Agreement as that term
is used and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in Illinois (the “Code”) and shall also serve as
a grant of security interest of the Personal Property provided herein. Mortgagor fully authorizes
Mortgagee to file or cause to be filed such UCC Financing Statements as are requested by Mortgagee,
and does further authorize Mortgagee to file or cause to be filed from time to time thereafter such
additional Financing Statements and Continuation Statements as Mortgagee may request. All of
Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in the Personal Property is hereby assigned to Mortgagee for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the payment of the Indebtedness Hereby
Secured.
Mortgagor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants regarding the
Personal Property:
(a) the Personal Property is bought or used primarily for business use;
(b) the Personal Property (except for receivables and bank accounts) will be kept at the
Premises. Mortgagor will not remove the Personal Property from the Premises without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld in Mortgagee’s sole and absolute
discretion, unless the Personal Property is obsolete, damaged, sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business;
(c) except for the security interest granted hereby Mortgagor is the owner of the Personal
Property free from any adverse lien, security interest or encumbrance other than liens permitted
under Section 6.02 of the Loan Agreement; and Mortgagor will defend the Personal Property against
all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein;
(d) no Financing Statement covering any of the Personal Property or any proceeds thereof is on
file in any public office, other than financing statements to be released by reason of payments to
be made from disbursements of monies borrowed and secured hereby. Mortgagor shall immediately
notify Mortgagee in writing of any change in name, address, identity or ownership structure from
that shown in this Mortgage and shall also upon demand furnish to Mortgagee such further
information and shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee such financing statements and other
documents in form satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall do all such acts and things as Mortgagee may
at any time or from time to time reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to
establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Personal Property as security for the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured, subject to no adverse liens or encumbrances other than liens permitted
under Section 6.02 of the Loan
14
Agreement; and Mortgagor will pay the cost of filing the same or filing or recording this
Mortgage in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by Mortgagee to be necessary
or desirable. The original or a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage is
sufficient as a financing statement;
(e) Mortgagor will not sell or offer to sell, assign, pledge, lease or otherwise transfer or
encumber the Personal Property or any interest therein, unless such Personal Property is obsolete
or is sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business, or such sale, assignment, pledge,
lease or other transfer or encumbrance is permitted under the Loan Agreement; and
(f) Mortgagor will keep the Personal Property free from any adverse lien, security interest or
encumbrance (other than liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Loan Agreement) and in good order
and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, shall not waste or destroy the Personal Property or
any part thereof, and shall not use the Personal Property in violation of any statute, ordinance or
policy of insurance thereon. Mortgagee may examine and inspect the Personal Property at any
reasonable time or times, on reasonable notice, wherever located.
Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor may
have possession of the Personal Property and use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this
Mortgage and not inconsistent with any policy of insurance thereon.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (regardless of whether
the Code has been enacted in the jurisdiction where rights or remedies are asserted) Mortgagee
shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including without limitation the right
to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and for
that purpose may, so far as Mortgagor can give authority therefor, with or without judicial
process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace), upon any premises on which the
Personal Property or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom (provided that
if the Personal Property is affixed to the Real Estate, such removal shall be subject to the
conditions stated in the Code); and Mortgagee shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and
prepare the Personal Property for sale, until disposed of, or may propose to retain the Personal
Property subject to Mortgagor’s right of redemption in satisfaction of Mortgagor’s obligations as
provided in the Code. Mortgagee, without removal, may render the Personal Property unusable and
dispose of the Personal Property on the Premises. Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the
Personal Property and make it available to Mortgagee for possession at a place to be designated by
Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the Personal Property is
perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Mortgagee will give Mortgagor at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and
place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such
notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to the address of Mortgagor shown in this Mortgage at least ten
(10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Mortgagee may buy at any public sale and if
the Personal Property is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is
the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, he may buy at private sale. The net
proceeds realized upon any such disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses incurred by Mortgagee both before and after judgment, if any, shall be applied in
satisfaction of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the
Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Indebtedness Hereby Secured owed
15
to them on the date of any such application). Mortgagee will account to Mortgagor for any
surplus realized on such disposition and Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency. All
rights and remedies under this Mortgage are subject to applicable law.
The remedies of Mortgagee hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the
remedies provided for herein or under the Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the
other remedies of Mortgagee so long as any part of Mortgagor’s obligations remains unsatisfied.
All rights of Mortgagee in, to and under this Mortgage and in and to the Personal Property
shall pass to and may be exercised by any assignee thereof. Mortgagor agrees that if Mortgagee
gives notice to Mortgagor of an assignment of said rights, upon such notice the liability of
Mortgagor to the assignee shall be immediate and absolute.
Mortgagor will not set up any claim against Mortgagee as a defense, counterclaim or setoff to
any action brought by any such assignee for the unpaid balance owed hereunder or for possession of
the Personal Property, provided that Mortgagor shall not waive hereby any right of action to the
extent that waiver thereof is expressly made unenforceable under applicable law.
25. Rights Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy conferred upon Mortgagee
hereunder is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied,
given now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and remedy so
existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient
by Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall
not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission of Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall
impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein.
26. Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage and each and every covenant, agreement and
other provision hereof shall be binding upon Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, including
each and every from time to time record owner of the Premises or any other person having an
interest therein, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.
27. Provisions Severable. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provisions hereof
shall not render any other provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid.
28. Waiver of Defense. Actions for the enforcement of the lien or any provision
hereof shall not be subject to any defense which would not be good and available to the party
interposing the same in an action at law upon the Loan Agreement, and all such defenses are hereby
waived by Mortgagor.
29. Captions and Pronouns. The captions and headings of the various sections of this
Mortgage are for convenience only, and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way
the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits, the
singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular and the masculine,
feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable.

31. No Liability on Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Mortgagee
shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, and does not hereby undertake to perform or
discharge, any obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor, whether hereunder, under any of the
leases affecting the Premises, under any contract relating to the Premises or otherwise, and
Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless of and from any and
all liability, loss or damage which Mortgagee may incur under or with respect to any portion of the
Premises or under or by reason of its exercise of rights hereunder; and any and all claims and
demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligation or
undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained
in any of the contracts, documents or instruments affecting any portion of the Premises or
affecting any rights of Mortgagor thereto. Mortgagee shall not have responsibility for the
control, care, management or repair of the Premises or be responsible or liable for any negligence
in the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises resulting in loss
17
or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, stranger or other person. No liability
shall be enforced or asserted against Mortgagee in its exercise of the powers herein granted to it,
and Mortgagor expressly waives and releases any such liability. Should Mortgagee incur any such
liability, loss or damage under any of the leases affecting the Premises or under or by reason
hereof, or in the defense of any claims or demands, Mortgagor agrees to reimburse Mortgagee
immediately upon demand for the full amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees,
and the amount thereof shall constitute Indebtedness Hereby Secured.
32. Mortgagee not a Joint Venturer or Partner. Mortgagor and Mortgagee acknowledge
and agree that Mortgagee is not and in no event shall be deemed to be a partner or joint venturer
with Mortgagor or any beneficiary of Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall not be deemed to be a partner or
joint venturer on account of its becoming a mortgagee in possession or exercising any rights
pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to any other instrument or document evidencing or securing
any of the Indebtedness Secured Hereby, or otherwise.
33. E.P.A. Compliance. Mortgagor covenants that the buildings and other improvements
constructed on, under or above the subject real estate will be used and maintained in accordance
with the applicable state or federal environmental protection agency regulations as set forth in
the Loan Agreement.
34. Subsequent Loan Disbursements. This Mortgage is given to secure and shall be a
valid lien as to all the Indebtedness Hereby Secured and secures presently existing Indebtedness
Hereby Secured and future Indebtedness Hereby Secured, if any, as it arises under the Loan
Agreement to the same extent as if such future Indebtedness Hereby Secured arose on the date of the
execution of this Mortgage although the amount and character of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured may
vary during the term of this Mortgage. This Mortgage is intended to and shall be valid and have
priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, except solely taxes
levied on the Premises, to the extent of the amount of the Obligations, plus interest and any
disbursements made pursuant to the Loan Agreement and Mortgage.
35. Furnishing of Financial Statements and Reports to Mortgagee. Mortgagor covenants
and agrees that it will keep and maintain books and records of account, or cause books and records
of account to be kept and maintained in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all
dealings and transactions relative to the Premises, which books and records of account shall, at
reasonable times and on reasonable notice, be open to the inspection of Mortgagee and its
accountants and other duly authorized representatives. Such books of record and account shall be
kept and maintained either:
(a) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; or
(b) in accordance with a cash basis or other recognized comprehensive basis of accounting
consistently applied.
Mortgagor covenants and agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Mortgagee financial
statements of Mortgagor as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
18
36. UCC Financing Statement/Fixture Filing. This Mortgage is intended to be a UCC
Financing Statement/fixture filing within the purview of Section 9-502(c) of the Code with respect
to the collateral and the goods described herein, which goods are and may become fixtures relating
to the Premises. The addresses of Mortgagor as Debtor and Mortgagee as Secured Party are as set
forth in Section 30. This Mortgage is to be filed for record with the Recorder of Deeds of the
county or counties where the Premises are located. A photographic or other reproduction of this
instrument or any other financing statement relating to this instrument shall be sufficient as a
financing statement.
37. Jury Waiver. Mortgagor knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives
irrevocably the right it may have to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding based
hereon, or arising out of, under or in connection with the Loans, the Indebtedness Hereby Secured,
or the Premises, or any agreement executed or contemplated to be executed in conjunction herewith
or any course of conduct or course of dealing in which Mortgagee and Mortgagor are adverse parties.
This provision is a material inducement for Mortgagee in granting any financial accommodation to
Mortgagor.
38. Submission to Jurisdiction. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Chicago, Illinois, or New York, New York,
over any action or proceeding based hereon and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims
in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such state or federal
court. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Mortgagor agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding, shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Mortgagor agrees not to institute any legal action or proceeding in connection with the Loans,
the other Obligations, the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or this Mortgage against Mortgagee or the
directors, officers, employees, agents or property thereof, in any court other than the one
hereinabove specified. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of Mortgagee to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Mortgagee to bring any action
or proceeding against Mortgagor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions.
39. Inconsistent Terms. To the extent any of the terms of this Mortgage are
inconsistent with or contradict the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement
shall govern.
40. USA Patriot Act. Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that neither
Mortgagor nor any affiliate is identified in any list of known or suspected terrorists published by
any United States government agency (collectively, as such lists may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, referred to as the “Blocked Persons Lists”) including, without limitation, (a)
the annex to Executive Order 13224 issued on September 23, 2001, and (b) the Specially Designated
Nationals List published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Mortgagor covenants to Mortgagee that if it becomes aware that it or any affiliate is
identified on any Blocked Persons List, Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing of
such information. Mortgagor further agrees that in the event it or any Affiliate (as defined in
the Loan Agreement) is at any time identified on any Blocked Persons List, such event shall be an
Event of Default, and shall entitle Mortgagee to exercise any and all remedies provided in any Loan
Document or otherwise permitted by law. In addition, Mortgagee may immediately contact the Office
of Foreign Assets Control and any other
19
government agency Mortgagee deems appropriate in order to comply with its obligations under any
law, regulation, order or decree regulating or relating to terrorism and international money
laundering. Upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, Mortgagee will forbear enforcement of
its rights and remedies during such time as (1) the person (“Person”) identified in a Blocked
Persons List is contesting in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings such Person’s inclusion
in a Blocked Persons List and (2) Mortgagee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that
such forbearance will not adversely affect title to, the condition or value of, or any lien in
favor of Mortgagee and encumbering, any part of the Premises (as defined in the Mortgages) or
otherwise adversely impact the ability of any Person to perform such Person’s obligations under or
with respect to any Loan Document.
41. Certain Matters Relating to Property located in the State of Illinois. With
respect to the Premises which is located in the State of Illinois, notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary:
a. Compliance with Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law. With respect to the Illinois
Mortgage Foreclosure Law (735 ILCS 5/15-1101 et seq., as amended) (the “IMFL”), Mortgagor
agrees and covenants that:
i. If any provision in this Mortgage is determined to be inconsistent with any
provision of the IMFL, the provisions of the IMFL shall take precedence over the provisions
of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions of
this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with the IMFL.
ii. If any provision of this Mortgage shall grant to Mortgagee any rights or remedies
upon an Event of Default which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be
vested in Mortgagee under the IMFL in the absence of such provision, Mortgagee shall be
vested with the rights granted in the IMFL to the full extent permitted by law.
iii. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by
Mortgagee to the extent reimbursable under Sections 15-1510 and 15-1512 of the IMFL, whether
incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether enumerated in
this Mortgage, shall be added to the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or by the judgment of
foreclosure.
iv. Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of the
IMFL, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time after
the date hereof. In the event any provision of the IMFL which is specifically referred to
herein may be repealed, Mortgagee shall have the benefit of such provision as most recently
existing prior to such repeal, as though the same were incorporated herein by express
reference;
v. If Mortgagee shall incur or expend any sums, including a reasonable attorney fee,
whether or not in connection with any action or proceeding to sustain the lien of this
Mortgage or its priority, enforce the Mortgage or to protect or enforce any of Mortgagee’s
right’s hereunder, including any sums to preserve, maintain, repair, restore or rebuild the
improvements upon the Premises, or to recover any indebtedness secured hereby, or on account
of its being a Lender or its making the loans evidenced by the Loan Agreement, all such sums
shall become immediately due and payable by Mortgagor with interest thereon at the Default
Rate. All such sums shall be secured by this Mortgage and be a lien on the Premises prior
to any right, title, interest, or claim,
20
in, to, or upon, the Premises attaching or accruing subsequent to the lien of this
Mortgage. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, in any suit to foreclose
the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness Hereby
Secured in the decree for sale all costs and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on
behalf of Mortgagee or the Secured Parties for reasonable attorney fees, appraisers’ fees,
receivers’ costs and expenses, insurance, taxes, outlays for documentary and expert
evidence, costs for preservation of the Premises, stenographer’s charges, publication cost
and costs of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, guarantee
policies, Certificates of Title issued by the Registrar of Titles (Torrens Certificates),
and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee or the Lenders as holders
of the Loans may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to
evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree, the true condition
of the title to or the value of the Premises or for any other reasonable purpose. The
amount of any such costs and expenses which may be paid or incurred after the decree for
sale is entered may be estimated and the amount of such estimate may be allowed and included
as additional indebtedness secured hereby in the decree for sale.
Additionally, all advances, disbursements and expenditures made or incurred by
Mortgagee before and during a foreclosure, and before and after judgment of foreclosure, and
at any time prior to sale and, where applicable, after sale, and during the pendency of any
related proceedings, for the following purposes, in addition to those otherwise authorized
by the Mortgage, or the Loan Agreement or by the IMFL (collectively “Protective Advances”),
shall have the benefit of all applicable provisions of the IMFL, including those provisions
of the IMFL herein below referred to, to the extent permitted by law:
1. all advances by Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage or
the Loan Agreement to: (i) preserve, maintain, repair, restore or rebuild the
improvements upon the Premises; (ii) preserve the lien of the Mortgage or the
priority thereof; or (iii) enforce the Mortgage, as referred to in
Subsection (b) (5) of Section 5/15-1302 of the IMFL;
2. payments by Mortgagee of (i) principal, interest or other obligations in
accordance with the terms of any senior mortgage or other prior lien or
encumbrances; (ii) real estate taxes and assessments, general and special, and all
other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever which are assessed or
imposed upon the Premises or any part thereof; (iii) other obligations authorized by
the Mortgage; or (iv) with court approval, any other amounts in connection with
other liens, encumbrances or interests reasonably necessary to preserve the status
of title, as referred to in Section 5/15-1505 of the IMFL;
3. advances by Mortgagee in settlement or compromise of any claims asserted by
claimants under senior mortgages or any other prior liens;
4. attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred: (i) in connection with the
foreclosure of the Mortgage as referred to in Section 5/15-1504(d)(2) and 5/15-1510
of the IMFL; (ii) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by or
against Mortgagee for the enforcement of the Mortgage or arising from the interest
of Mortgagee
21
hereunder; or (iii) in preparation for or in connection with the commencement,
prosecution or defense of any other action related to the Mortgage or the Premises;
5. Mortgagee’s fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising between the
entry of judgment of foreclosure and the confirmation hearings as referred to in
Section 5/15-1508 (b) (1) of the IMFL;
6. expenses deductible from proceeds of sale as referred to in
Section 5/15-1512 (a) and (b) of the IMFL; and
7. expenses incurred and expenditures made by Mortgagee for any one or more of
the following: (i) if the Premises or any portion thereof constitutes one or more
units under a condominium declaration, assessments imposed upon the unit owner
thereof; (ii) if Mortgagor’s interest in the Premises is a leasehold estate under a
lease or sublease, rentals or other payments required to be made by the lessee under
the terms of the lease or sublease; (iii) premiums for casualty and liability
insurance paid by Mortgagee whether or not Mortgagee or a receiver is in possession,
if reasonably required in reasonable amounts, and all renewals thereof, without
regard to the limitation to maintaining of existing insurance in effect at the time
any receiver or mortgagee takes possession of the Premises imposed by
Section 5/15-1704 (c) (1) of the IMFL; (iv) repair or restoration of damage or
destruction in excess of available insurance proceeds or condemnation awards;
(v) payments deemed by Mortgagee to be required for the benefit of the Premises or
required to be made by the owner of the Premises under any grant or declaration of
easement, easement agreement, agreement with any adjoining land owners or
instruments creating covenants or restrictions for the benefit of or affecting the
Premises; (vi) shared or common expense assessments payable to any association or
corporation in which the owner of the Premises is a member in any way affecting the
Premises; (vii) if the loan secured hereby is a construction loan, costs incurred by
Mortgagee for demolition, preparation for and completion of construction, as may be
authorized by the applicable commitment, loan agreement or other agreement;
(viii) payments required to be paid by Mortgagor or Mortgagee pursuant to any lease
or other agreement for occupancy of the Premises; (ix) operating deficits incurred
by Mortgagee in possession or reimbursed by Mortgagee to any receiver; (x) all costs
and fees incurred to obtain an environmental assessment relating to the Premises;
and (xi) if the Mortgage is insured, payment of FHA or private mortgage insurance
required to keep such insurance in force;
b. Waiver of Statutory Rights. Mortgagor acknowledges that the transaction of which
this Mortgage is a part is a transaction which does not include either agricultural real estate (as
defined in Section 15-1201 of the IMFL), or residential real estate (as defined in Section 15-1219
of the IMFL), and to the full extent permitted by law, voluntarily and knowingly waives Mortgagor’s
rights AND THE RIGHTS OF EACH AND EVERY PERSON ACQUIRING AN INTEREST IN OR TITLE TO THE PROPERTY OF
ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THIS MORTGAGE to reinstatement and redemption as
allowed under Section 15-1601(b) of the IMFL, and to the full extent permitted by law, the benefits
of all present and future valuation, appraisement, homestead, exemption, stay, redemption and
moratorium laws under any state or federal law.
22
c. Maximum Amount Secured. Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend that this Mortgage shall
secure not only sums advanced as of the date hereof but also all advances provided for in the Loan
Documents; provided however that the maximum amount secured by this Mortgage shall in no event
exceed $125,000,000.00.
d. Maturity Date. The maturity date of the Loans is July 29, 2014.
e. Mortgagee-in-Possession. In addition to any provision of this Mortgage authorizing
Mortgagee to take or be placed in possession of the Premises, or for the appointment of a receiver,
Mortgagee shall have the right, in accordance with Sections 5/15-1701 and 5/15-1702 of the IMFL, to
be placed in possession of the Premises or at its request to have a receiver appointed, and such
receiver, or Mortgagee, if and when placed in possession, shall have, in addition to any other
powers provided in this Mortgage, all powers, immunities and duties as provided for in Sections
2/15-1701 and 5/15-1703 of the IMFL).
f. Collateral Protection Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Protection Act
(815 ILCS 180/1 et seq.), Mortgagor is hereby notified that unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee
with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may purchase insurance
at Mortgagee’s expense to protect Mortgagor’s interests in the Premises, which insurance may, but
need not, protect the interests of Mortgagor. The coverage purchased by Mortgagee may not pay any
claim made by Mortgagor or any claim made against Mortgagor in connection with the Premises.
Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee
with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained the insurance as required hereunder. If Mortgagee
purchases insurance, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including
interest and any other charges imposed 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 the total obligation secured hereby. The costs of such insurance may be greater than
the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain for itself.
g. Business Loan. The proceeds of the Loans secured hereby referred to herein shall
be used solely for business purposes and in furtherance of the regular business affairs of
Mortgagor, and the entire principal obligation secured by this Mortgage constitutes (i) a “business
loan” as that term is defined in, and for all purposes of, 815 ILCS 205/4 (1) (c), and (ii) a “loan
secured by a mortgage on real estate” within the purview and operation of 815 ILCS 205/4(1)(l).
h. Interest. The Loans bear interest at variable rates determined in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.
i. Release. These presents are upon the express condition that, if Mortgagor shall
pay to Mortgagee in cash the full amount of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured (other than contingent
indemnification obligations in respect of which no claim has been asserted by the person or entity
entitled thereto) at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement and this Mortgage,
the lien hereof shall be released.
23
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has caused these presents to be executed and delivered on
January
29, 2010.
