the liability of Mortgagor against claims for bodily injury, death or
property damage occurring on or about the Mortgaged Property in such

agrees that the insurance required by this Mortgage may be provided by a ;
tenant of the Mortgaged Property or an affiliate of Mortgagor.

loss payable provisions in favor of Mortgagee. All such insurance shall be
in form acceptable to Mortgagee,shall provide for at least thirty(30)days'
prior written notice of cancellation, termination or modification thereof to
Mortgagee, shall permit Mortgagee to make premium payments to prevent
cancellation, and shall provide that no act or negligence of Mortgagor or
of any occupant of the Mortgaged Property, and no occupancy or use of
the Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by
the terms of the policy, will affect the validity or enforceability of such
insurance as against Mortgagee. In the event of loss under such insurance
Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and
Mortgagee; Mortgagor shall duly make proof of loss, and shall
immediately furnish to Mortgagee a copy of such proof of loss.
(c) Subject to the rights of the vendor under the Contracts for

all expenses(including reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by
Mortgagee in collecting the same and, at Mortgagee's option and in its
sole discretion, apply the balance of said proceeds (`Net Proceeds") to
payment of the Indebtedness or make the Net Proceeds available for the
repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property; p rovided, however,
Mortgagor may settle claims without Mortgagee's consent if the loss is
less than $5,000.00 and no Event of Default exists at the time of
settlement. Mortgagor shall apply any such proceeds to the repair and
restoration of the Mortgaged Property. So long as no Event of Default
exists, any settlement of a fire and hazard insurance claim of more than
$5,000.00 shall require the consent of Mortgagor, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld.
(d) If Mortgagee elects to apply the Net Proceeds to repair and
restoration of the Mortgaged Property(1)the Net Proceeds shall be held by
Mortgagee and at Mortgagee's election may be disbursed either by
Mortgagee or a disbursing agent selected by Mortgagee and paid by
Mortgagor, (ii) upon Mortgagee's request prior to disbursement of any Net

shall be held and disbursed in accordance with sound construction loan

�- disbursement practices, including, but not limited to, approval of the plans
and specifications, appraisal, its other conditions for disbursement of draw
requests and inspection of the work, and such other reasonable conditions
as Mortgagee may impose and (iv) any Net Proceeds not so applied to
repair and restoration shall be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness.
If an Event of Default occurs prior to full disbursement, any undisbursed
portion of the Net Proceeds and any funds deposited by Mortgagor with
Mortgagee may at Mortgagee's option be applied to the Indebtedness.
1.7 Inpection. Mortgagee, or its agents,shall have the right to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property during ordinary business hours for the purposes of inspecting the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. Mortgagee shall have no duty, however, to
make such inspection. Mortgagee,or its agents, shall also have the right during ordinary
business hours to examine the books and records of Mortgagor pertaining to the
Mortgaged Property and to make extracts therefrom and copies thereof. The parties agree
that Mortgagee's right to inspect the books and records of Mortgagor,as described in this
provision,relates solely to the Mortgaged Property.
1.8 Protection of Mortgagee's Security. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of
the covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage and such failure shall continue
beyond any applicable notice and cure period contained in Article Two hereof or if any
action or proceeding is commenced which does or may adversely affect the Mortgaged
Property or the interest of Mortgagor or Mortgagee therein, or the title of Mortgagor
thereto, then Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, may perform such covenants and
agreements, defend against such action or proceeding, or otherwise act as Mortgagee
deems necessary to protect its interest. In the event that,after damage to or destruction of
the Mortgaged Property or condemnation of a portion of the Mortgaged Property or a sale
under threat thereof, the proceeds are used to restore the Mortgaged Property, and the
insurance, sale or condemnation proceeds which are paid to Mortgagee are not sufficient
to pay for such restoration, Mortgagee may nevertheless effect the restoration. Any
amounts disbursed or costs incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section, including
interest and reasonable attorney's fees, shall become additional Indebtedness of
Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage. All amounts disbursed or costs incurred by
Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable upon demand, and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement or incurrence at the rate set forth in the Note unless
payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to law, in which event such amounts
shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be
subrogated to any encumbrance,lien,claim or demand,and to all the rights and securities
for the payment thereof, paid or discharged with the principal sum secured hereby or by
Mortgagee under the provisions hereof, and any such subrogation rights shall be
additional and cumulative security for this Mortgage. Nothing contained in this Section
shall require Mortgagee to incur any expense or do any act hereunder, and Mortgagee
shall not be liable to Mortgagor for any damages or claims arising out of action taken by
Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph.
1.9 Lisuardous Materials. Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to
Mortgagee that the Mortgaged Property has not at any time been used for storage,
-7-
transfer,transportation or disposal of hazardous substances,hazardous wastes,pollutants,
contaminants or similar substances (collectively "Hazardous Substances"), or for the
discharge of the same into the environment in violation of any law,regulation,or judicial
or administrative order or judgment;and the Mortgaged Property is not contaminated by,
and does not contain, any Hazardous Substances. Mortgagor will not use or permit the
use of the Mortgaged Property for such purposes. Mortgagor will fully indemnify
Mortgagee and defend Mortgagee against any claims, losses,damages, actions,costs and
expenses of any kind, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys
fees, in connection with any Hazardous Substances now or hereafter located on the
Mortgaged Property or any other violation of any federal, state or local environmental
statute, ordinance, rule or regulation ("Environmental Laws"). This indemnity shall not
apply to the extent that the willful act or omission of the Mortgagee contributes to the
actual or threatened discharge, dispersal, release, storage, treatment,generation, disposal
or escape of the Hazardous Substances. The indemnity provisions of this Section shall
survive the foreclosure or other termination of this Mortgage.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor agrees that upon the
discovery of a release or threatened release of Hazardous Substances on or from the
Mortgaged Property, it will promptly, diligently and without cost to Mortgagee, proceed
to remediate all contamination in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations, and the requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction,
and otherwise to the satisfaction of Mortgagee. A failure to do so shall constitute a
default by Mortgagor under this Mortgage.
1.10 Escrows. Upon the request of Mortgagee after the occurrence of an Event
of Default(whether or not such Event of Default is subsequently cured), Mortgagor shall
deposit with Mortgagee, on the first day of each and every month,commencing.with the
date the first payment shall be due on the Note which is after the date of such request, a
deposit to pay the Impositions and insurance premiums (collectively "Charges") in an
amount equal to:
(a) One-twelfth (1/12)of the Impositions next to become due upon the
'Mortgaged Property;provided,however,that, in the case of the first such deposit,
there shall be deposited in addition an amount as estimated by Mortgagee which,
when added to monthly deposits to be made thereafter as provided for herein,
shall assure that there will be sufficient funds on deposit to pay the Impositions as
they come due;plus
(b) One-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums on each policy of
insurance required to be maintained hereunder; provided that with the first such
deposit there shall be deposited, in addition, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of such annual insurance premiums multiplied by the number of months
elapsed between the date premiums on each policy are last paid to and including
the date of deposit.
The amount of such deposits shall be based upon Mortgagee's reasonable estimate as to
the amount of Impositions and premiums of insurance next to be payable. Mortgagee
-8-
will, upon timely presentation to Mortgagee by Mortgagor of the bills therefor, pay the
Charges from such deposits. In the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to
pay all of the Charges when the same shall become due from time to time, or the prior
deposits shall be less than the currently estimated monthly amounts,then Mortgagor shall
pay to Mortgagee on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. The
excess of any such deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor or credited towards
subsequent Charges, at the discretion of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default shall occur
under the terms of this Mortgage,Mortgagee may,at its option,without being required so
to do, apply any deposits on hand to the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as
Mortgagee may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining
deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor as its interest may appear. All deposits are
hereby pledged as additional security for the Indebtedness, shall be held for the purposes
for which made as herein provided, may be held by Mortgagee and may be commingled
with other funds of Mortgagee, shall be held without any allowance of interest thereon,
and shall not be subject to the decision or control of Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall not be
liable for any act or omission made or taken in good faith. In making any payments,
Mortgagee may rely on any statement, bill or estimate procured from or issued by the
payee without inquiry into the validity or accuracy of the same. If the taxes shown in the
tax statement shall be levied on property more extensive than the Mortgaged Property,
Mortgagee shall be under no duty to seek a tax division or apportionment of the tax bill,
and any payment of taxes based on a larger parcel shall be paid by Mortgagor, and
Mortgagor shall expeditiously cause a tax subdivision to be made.

MORTGAGOR REPRESENTS, WARRANTS AND COVENANTS to and with
Mortgagee that Mortgagor is the vendee under those certain contracts for deed set forth as
items I and 2 on Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Contracts for Deed"); that it has good
right and full power and authority to execute this Mortgage and to mortgage the
Mortgaged Property; that the Mortgaged Property is free from all liens and encumbrances
except those identified in Exhibit B hereto; that Mortgagee shall quietly enjoy and
possess the Mortgaged Property; that Mortgagor will warrant and defend the title to the
Mortgaged Property against all claims, whether now existing or hereafter arising. The
covenants and warranties of this paragraph shall survive foreclosure of this Mortgage and
shall run with the Land.
AND IT IS FURTHER COVENANTED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
ARTICLE ONE
GENERAL COVENANTS,AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES
1.1 Pa ment of Indebtedness. Observance of Covenants. Mortgagor will duly
pay when due each installment of principal and interest on the Note, the Contract for
Deed and all other Indebtedness and will perform all other agreements and covenants by
Mortgagor to be performed hereunder.
1.2 Payment of Impositions. Mortgagor agrees to pay, before a penalty might
attach for nonpayment thereof, all taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges, and other
fees, taxes and charges of whatsoever nature levied upon or assessed or placed against the
Mortgaged Property (collectively "Impositions"). Mortgagor will likewise pay all taxes,
assessments and other charges, levied upon or assessed, placed or made against, or
measured by, this Mortgage, or the recordation hereof, or the Indebtedness, provided that
Mortgagor shall not be obliged to pay such tax, assessment or charge if such payment
would be contrary to law or would result in the payment of an usurious rate of interest on
the Indebtedness. Mortgagor shall promptly furnish to Mortgagee all notices received by
Mortgagor of amounts due under this Section and upon Mortgagee's request, shall deliver
proper receipts evidencing the payment of such amounts. In the event of a judicial decree
or legislative enactment after the date of this Mortgage, providing that any such
imposition may not be lawfully paid by Mortgagor, or in the event that the payment of
any such imposition by Mortgagor would result in the payment of a usurious rate of
interest on the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness, together with interest, shall become
immediately due and payable, or, at Mortgagee's option, Mortgagee may pay any amount
or portion of such Imposition as renders the Indebtedness unlawful or usurious, in which
event Mortgagor shall concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and non-usurious
portion or balance of said Imposition.
1.3 Payment of Operating Costs: Prior Mortgages and Liens. Mortgagor
agrees that it will pay, or cause to be paid, all operating costs and expenses of the
Mortgaged Property; keep the Mortgaged Property free from mechanics' and material
suppliers' and other liens, subject to Mortgagor's right to contest in good faith as set forth
in Section 1.4 hereof; will keep the Mortgaged Property free from levy, execution or
-3-
attachment and will immediately pay when due all indebtedness which may be secured
by mortgage, lien or charge on the Mortgaged Property and upon request will exhibit to
Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of such payment and discharge.
1.4 Contest of Impositions, Liens and Levies. Mortgagor shall not be required
to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition, lien or levy so long as Mortgagor shall in
good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which
shall operate to prevent the collection of the levy, lien or Imposition so contested and the
sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof to satisfy the same; provided,
however, that Mortgagor, prior to the date such levy, lien or Imposition is due and
payable or, in the case of a mechanic's lien or other involuntary lien within (30) days
after the same shall have been filed, shall have given such reasonable security as may be
demanded by Mortgagee to insure such payments and any penalties and interest that may
accrue thereon and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property by reason of
such nonpayment. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence and
Mortgagor shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any such
levy, lien or Imposition so determined, together with all interest and penalties, which may
be payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section,
Mortgagor shall, and Mortgagee may, pay any such levy, lien or Imposition
notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee, the Mortgaged
Property is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.
1.5 Maintenance and Repairs; Inventory. Mortgagor agrees that it will keep
and maintain (or cause to be kept and maintained) the Mortgaged Property (including,
without limitation, the Equipment) in good condition and repair, free from any waste or
misuse, and will comply with all requirements of law, municipal ordinances and
regulations, restrictions and covenants affecting the Mortgaged Property and its use, and
will promptly repair or restore any buildings, improvements or structures now or
hereafter on the Mortgaged Property which may become damaged or destroyed.
Mortgagor further agrees that without the prior consent of Mortgagee it will not remove
from the Mortgaged Property any or all of the Equipment or any fixtures or any personal
property that is included in the Mortgaged Property unless the same is immediately
replaced with like fixtures or personal property of at least equal value, or is otherwise
removable under Section 6.1 hereof; or expand any improvements on the Mortgaged
Property, erect any new improvements or make any material alterations in any
improvements which will materially alter the basic structure, materially and adversely
affect the market value or materially change the existing architectural character of the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor agrees that it will complete within a reasonable time any
buildings now or at any time in the process of erection on the Mortgaged Property.
Mortgagor agrees not to acquiesce in any rezoning classification, modification or
restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee's prior written consent.
Mortgagor agrees that it will not abandon the Mortgaged Property. Upon request of
Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an inventory in detail reasonably
acceptable to Mortgagee of any personal property owned by Mortgagor that is included in
the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms hereof together with a certification by
Mortgagor that said inventory is a true and complete schedule of the personal property to
be included in the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms hereof. Such inventory shall
_4_
list any conditional sales contracts and other title retention arrangements to which such
personal property may be subject.
1.6 Insurance.
(a) So long as the Indebtedness remains unpaid, Mortgagor shall, at its
own cost, maintain or cause to be maintained with insurers of recognized
responsibility acceptable to Mortgagee the following insurance:
(i) hazard and fire insurance on the improvements now
existing or hereafter constructed on the Land insuring against loss by fire,
hazards included in the term "extended coverage," loss by vandalism or
malicious mischief, and such other hazards, casualties and contingencies
as may be required by Mortgagee, on the basis of replacement cost
without a coinsurance clause, in an amount equal to the full replacement
cost thereof (without deduction for depreciation) or such additional
amounts and for such periods as may be required by Mortgagee;
(ii) comprehensive general public liability insurance covering
the liability of Mortgagor against claims for bodily injury, death or
property damage occurring on or about the Mortgaged Property in such
minimum amounts and limits as Mortgagee may require but in no event,
less than $2,000,000.00 combined single limit per occurrence and naming
Mortgagee as an additional insured;
(iii) insurance covering the Mortgaged Property against loss or
damage by explosion, rupture or bursting of steam boilers, steam pipes,
steam turbines, steam engines or pressure vessels or fly wheels located on
or a part of the Mortgaged Property and providing for full repair and full
replacement cost coverages;
(iv) rent and rental value insurance pr business interruption
insurance covering risk of loss due to the occurrence of any hazards
described in the foregoing Subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) in an amount equal
to income from the Mortgaged Property, and Impositions, for a period of
twelve (12) months and based upon such estimate of annual income either
from Mortgagor's use of the Mortgaged Property or any leases of the
Mortgaged Property,or both, as Mortgagee may reasonably estimate; and
(v) such other forms of insurance in such minimum amounts as
Mortgagee may reasonably require or as may be required by law.
Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums on insurance
required hereunder by making payment directly to the insurer. Mortgagee
shall have the right to hold the policies and renewals thereof, and
Mortgagor shall promptly furnish to Mortgagee all such policies, renewals
thereof, renewal notices and all paid-premium receipts received by it. All
policies of insurance and any and all refunds of unearned premiums are
-5-
hereby assigned to Mortgagee as additional security for the payment of the
Indebtedness secured hereby. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage,
all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies
then in force shall pass to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale. Mortgagee
agrees that the insurance required by this Mortgage may be provided by a
tenant of the Mortgaged Property or an affiliate of Mortgagor.
(b) The policies of all such insurance shall have mortgagee and
loss payable provisions in favor of Mortgagee. All such insurance shall be
in form acceptable to Mortgagee, shall provide for at least thirty(30) days'
prior written notice of cancellation, termination or modification thereof to
Mortgagee, shall permit Mortgagee to make premium payments to prevent
cancellation, and shall provide that no act or negligence of Mortgagor or
of any occupant of the Mortgaged Property, and no occupancy or use of
the Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by
the terms of the policy, will affect the validity or enforceability of such
insurance as against Mortgagee. In the event of loss under such insurance
Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and
Mortgagee; Mortgagor shall duly make proof of loss, and shall
immediately furnish to Mortgagee a copy of such proof of loss.
(c) Subject to the rights of the vendor under the Contracts for
Deed, Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to settle, collect and
receive all fire and hazard insurance proceeds, to apply such proceeds to
all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by
Mortgagee in collecting the same and, at Mortgagee's option and in its
sole discretion, apply the balance of said proceeds ("Net Proceeds") to
payment of the Indebtedness or make the Net Proceeds available for the
repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however,
Mortgagor may settle claims without Mortgagee's consent if the loss is
less than $5,000.00 and no Event of Default exists at the time of
settlement. Mortgagor shall apply any such proceeds to the repair and
restoration of the Mortgaged Property. So long as no Event of Default
exists, any settlement of a fire and hazard insurance claim of more than
$5,000.00 shall require the consent of Mortgagor, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld.
(d) If Mortgagee elects to apply the Net Proceeds to repair and
restoration of the Mortgaged Property (i)the Net Proceeds shall be held by
Mortgagee and at Mortgagee's election may be disbursed either by
Mortgagee or a disbursing agent selected by Mortgagee and paid by
Mortgagor, (ii) upon Mortgagee's request prior to disbursement of any Net
Proceeds or thereafter, from time to time, Mortgagor will deposit with
Mortgagee such amounts in excess of remaining Net Proceeds as
Mortgagee reasonably determines is required to complete the repair and
restoration, (iii) the Net Proceeds and any funds deposited by
Mortgagor
shall be held and di sbursed in accordance with sound construction loan
-6-
disbursement practices, including, but not limited to, approval of the plans
and specifications, appraisal, its other conditions for disbursement of draw
requests and inspection of the work, and such other reasonable conditions
as Mortgagee may impose and (iv) any Net Proceeds not so applied to
repair and restoration shall be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness.
If an Event of Default occurs prior to full disbursement, any undisbursed
portion of the Net Proceeds and any funds deposited by Mortgagor with
Mortgagee may at Mortgagee's option be applied to the Indebtedness.
1.7 Inspection. Mortgagee, or its agents, shall have the right to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property during ordinary business hours for the purposes of inspecting the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. Mortgagee shall have no duty, however, to
make such inspection. Mortgagee, or its agents, shall also have the right during ordinary
business hours to examine the books and records of Mortgagor pertaining to the
Mortgaged Property and to make extracts therefrom and copies thereof. The parties agree
that Mortgagee's right to inspect the books and records of Mortgagor, as described in this
provision, relates solely to the Mortgaged Property.
1.8 Protection of Mortgagee's Security. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of
the covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage and such failure shall continue
beyond any applicable notice and cure period contained in Article Two hereof or if any
action or proceeding is commenced which does or may adversely affect the Mortgaged
Property or the interest of Mortgagor or Mortgagee therein, or the title of Mortgagor
thereto, then Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, may perform such covenants and
agreements, defend against such action or proceeding, or otherwise act as Mortgagee
deems necessary to protect its interest. In the event that, after damage to or destruction of
the Mortgaged Property or condemnation of a portion of the Mortgaged Property or a sale
under threat thereof, the proceeds are used to restore the Mortgaged Property, and the
insurance, sale or condemnation proceeds which are paid to Mortgagee are not sufficient
to pay for such restoration, Mortgagee may nevertheless effect the restoration. Any
amounts disbursed or costs incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section, including
interest and reasonable attorney's fees, shall become additional Indebtedness of
Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage. All amounts disbursed or costs incurred by
Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable upon demand, and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement or incurrence at the rate set forth in the Note unless
payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to law, in which event such amounts
shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be
subrogated to any encumbrance, lien,claim or demand, and to all the rights and securities
for the payment thereof, paid or discharged with the principal sum secured hereby or by
Mortgagee under the provisions hereof, and any such subrogation rights shall be
additional and cumulative security for this Mortgage. Nothing contained in this Section
shall require Mortgagee to incur any expense or do any act hereunder, and Mortgagee
shall not be liable to Mortgagor for any damages or claims arising out of action taken by
Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph.
1.9 Hazardous Materials. Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to
Mortgagee that the Mortgaged Property has not at any time been used for storage,
-7-
transfer, transportation or disposal of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants,
contaminants or similar substances (collectively "Hazardous Substances"), or for the
discharge of the same into the environment in violation of any law, regulation, or judicial
or administrative order or judgment; and the Mortgaged Property is not contaminated by,
and does not contain, any Hazardous Substances. Mortgagor will not use or permit the
use of the Mortgaged Property for such purposes. Mortgagor will fully indemnify
Mortgagee and defend Mortgagee against any claims, losses, damages, actions, costs and
expenses of any kind, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys
fees, in connection with any Hazardous Substances now or hereafter located on the
Mortgaged Property or any other violation of any federal, state or local environmental
statute, ordinance, rule or regulation ("Environmental Laws"). This indemnity shall not
apply to the extent that the willful act or omission of the Mortgagee contributes to the
actual or threatened discharge, dispersal, release, storage, treatment, generation, disposal
or escape of the Hazardous Substances. The indemnity provisions of this Section shall
survive the foreclosure or other termination of this Mortgage.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor agrees that upon the
discovery of a release or threatened release of Hazardous Substances on or from the
Mortgaged Property, it will promptly, diligently and without cost to Mortgagee, proceed
to remediate all contamination in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations, and the requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction,
and otherwise to the satisfaction of Mortgagee. A failure to do so shall constitute a
�.. default by Mortgagor under this Mortgage.
I.1 o Escrows. Upon the request of Mortgagee after the occurrence of an Event
of Default (whether or not such Event of Default is subsequently cured), Mortgagor shall
deposit with Mortgagee, on the first day of each and every month, commencing with the
date the first payment shall be due on the Note which is after the date of such request, a
deposit to pay the Impositions and insurance premiums (collectively "Charges") in an
amount equal to:
(a) One-twelfth (1/12) of the Impositions next to become due upon the
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, in the case of the first such deposit,
there shall be deposited in addition an amount as estimated by Mortgagee which,
when added to monthly deposits to be made thereafter as provided for herein,
shall assure that there will be sufficient funds on deposit to pay the Impositions as
they come due; plus
(b) One-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums on each policy of
insurance required to be maintained hereunder; provided that with the first such
deposit there shall be deposited, in addition, an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of such annual insurance premiums multiplied by the number of months
elapsed between the date premiums on each policy are last paid to and including
the date of deposit.
The amount of such deposits shall be based upon Mortgagee's reasonable estimate as to
the amount of Impositions and premiums of insurance next to be payable. Mortgagee
-8-
will, upon timely presentation to Mortgagee by Mortgagor of the bills therefor, pay the
Charges from such deposits. In the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to
pay all of the Charges when the same shall become due from time to time, or the prior
deposits shall be less than the currently estimated monthly amounts, then Mortgagor shall
pay to Mortgagee on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. The
excess of any such deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor or credited towards
subsequent Charges, at the discretion of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default shall occur
under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, at its option, without being required so
to do, apply any deposits on hand to the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as
Mortgagee may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining
deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor as its interest may appear. All deposits are
hereby pledged as additional security for the Indebtedness, shall be held for the purposes
for which made as herein provided, may be held by Mortgagee and may be commingled
with other funds of Mortgagee, shall be held without any allowance of interest thereon,
and shall not be subject to the decision or control of Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall not be
liable for any act or omission made or taken in good faith. In making any payments,
Mortgagee may rely on any statement, bill or estimate procured from or issued by the
payee without inquiry into the validity or accuracy of the same. If the taxes shown in the
tax statement shall be levied on property more extensive than the Mortgaged Property,
Mortgagee shall be under no duty to seek a tax division or apportionment of the tax bill,
and any payment of taxes based on a larger parcel shall be paid by Mortgagor, and
Mortgagor shall expeditiously cause a tax subdivision to be made.

arising from such sale, to pay all Indebtedness secured hereby with interest, and all legal
costs and charges of such foreclosure and the maximum attorneys' fees permitted by law,
which costs, charges and fees Mortgagor agrees to pay. Any real estate or interest or
estate sold hereunder may be sold in one parcel, as an entirety, or in such parcels and in
such manner or order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect. In case of any sale
of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or at public

Mortgage, Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, may become the purchaser, and for the

to accelerate maturity of the Indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the forbearance by
Mortgagee before or after the exercise of such option, or the withdrawal or abandonment

such option or to accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness by reason of any past,
present or future event which would permit acceleration. The procurement of insurance
or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Mortgagee shall not be a waiver of
Mortgagee's right to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness. Mortgagee's receipt of
any awards, proceeds or damages shall not operate to cure or waive default by
Mortgagor. Mortgagee may at any time, without notice, release any person liable for
payment of any Indebtedness, extend the time or agree to alter the terms of payment of
any of the Indebtedness, accept additional security of any kind, release any plat or map of
the Mortgaged Property or the creation of any easement thereon or any covenants
restricting use or occupancy thereof, or agree to alter or amend the terms of this Mortgage

any person other than the person so released, for payment of any Indebtedness, nor affect
the priority and first lien status of this Mortgage upon any property not so released.

Agreement.
C. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower is executing and
delivering to Lender the following security documents:
(i) A Promissory Note ("Note") effective as of the date herewith made
by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender, in the original principal amount
of$74,500.00.
(ii) A Mortgage and Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and
Fixture Financing Statement securing the Note ("Mortgage"). The Mortgage is of
even date herewith, is executed by Borrower, as mortgagor, in favor of Lender, as
mortgagee, and covers property therein described situated in Sherburne County,
Minnesota (the "Loan Property") as well as a security interest in certain
equipment to be purchased using the proceeds of the Loan(the "Equipment").
(iii) A personal guaranty of Robin DeWitt and Bruce DeWitt (the
"Guaranty"), all of the members of Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Amount and Purpose of Loan. Borrower agrees to take and Lender agrees
to make a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $74,500.00 (the "Loan") to be
advanced in a single disbursement as hereinafter provided, the Loan to be evidenced by
the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Guaranty and any other security document
required under this Agreement. The Loan proceeds will be used only to pay for the costs
of: (i) materials, labor and soft costs of constructing the Improvements (as defined
below); and (ii)the purchase of the Equipment.
2. Construction of Improvements. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Loan Property" means the real estate described in the Mortgage together with all
improvements now located or hereafter placed thereon.
Borrower agrees to improve as a part of the Loan Property a project ("Project")
consisting generally of renovations to and equipping of the building located at 707 Main
Street, Elk River, Minnesota, substantially in accordance with plans and specifications
which have been provided to Lender. The improvements to and equipping of the Loan
Property contemplated by the plans and specifications, as the same may be changed with
the approval of Lender, are herein referred to as the "Improvements." Borrower
covenants that when completed, the Improvements shall comply with all applicable
restrictions, conditions, codes, ordinances, regulations and laws of the City of Elk River
("City") and all other governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the Loan Property,
including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act and those related to
environmental protection. Borrower has commenced construction of the Improvements.
Borrower agrees to carry on continuously, diligently and with reasonable dispatch the
construction of the Improvements to full and final completion.
3. Purchase of Equipment. Borrower has provided Lender a preliminary list
of the Equipment that it intends to purchase for use in its business from the Project,
attached hereto as Exhibit A. Borrower will complete the purchase of the Equipment
and, to the extent possible, take delivery of the same, within thirty (30) days after the
disbursal of the Loan proceeds. If Borrower wishes to purchase other or different
Equipment, Borrower shall provide Lender an updated Exhibit A for its review and
approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the replacement
equipment is substantially similar to the replaced Equipment in function and value.
Borrower will provide Lender a final list of Equipment purchased within forty-five (45)
days after the disbursal of the Loan proceeds.
4. Title Insurance. Sherburne County Abstract and Title Company ("Title"),

against loss or damage on account of mechanic's liens upon or unmarketability of the title
to the Loan Property, and will insure that the Mortgage constitutes a second position lien
upon Borrower's interest in the Loan Property as contemplated by this Agreement,

Mortgage(the "Contracts for Deed"). Borrower agrees to promptly and fully observe and
comply with the reasonable requirements of Title and Lender with respect to the title, the
Mortgage, disbursements of funds and such other reasonable requirements as Title may
make.
As of the date of this Agreement, construction of the Improvements is not
complete nor have all lien waivers been received. As such, Lender's title insurer may not
be able to insure that Lender's Mortgage has the second priority position. Borrower
covenants that: (i) it will pay all lienable amounts incurred in relation to the
Improvements and the purchase of the Equipment promptly upon receipt of an invoice for
the same; (ii) will provide lien waivers to Lender promptly upon receipt; and (iii) will

hereof(computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days) at a fixed
interest rate of two percent (2%) per annum.
The Borrower shall be obligated to make monthly installments ("Monthly
Installment") in the amount of Six Hundred Eighty-five and 50/100 Dollars ($685.50),
which Monthly Installment shall commence on June 1, 2013, and continue on the first
(V) day of each and every month thereafter until the Maturity Date, when all accrued but
unpaid interest shall be payable in full.
This Note is made pursuant to a Loan Agreement("Loan Agreement") between
Borrower and Lender of even date herewith and secured by, among other things a
Mortgage and Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Fixture Financing
Statement ("Mortgage") given by Borrower to Lender and that certain Personal
Guaranty made by Robin DeWitt and Bruce DeWitt to Lender of even date herewith.
All of the terms and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage
which are to be kept and performed by Borrower are hereby made a part of this Note to
the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein;
and Borrower covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept
and performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.
If the Lender, or any other holder of this note, has not received the full amount of
any Monthly Installment provided for in this note, by the end of seven (7) calendar days
after the date it is due, Borrower shall pay a late charge fee to the Lender, or any other
holder of this note. The amount of the late charge fee shall be eight percent (8.00%) of
the overdue Monthly Installment. The Borrower shall pay this late charge fee on
demand, however, collection of the late charge fee shall not be deemed a waiver of the
Lender's right to declare an Event of Default and exercise its rights and remedies as
provided for in the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage.
Each Monthly Installment and other payments made under this note shall be
applied as follows, (0 first, to be applied against and pay interest which has accrued and
remains unpaid on the date the payment is received, then (ii) to be applied against and
pay unpaid late charges and any other charges, including attorneys' fees and protective

the then outstanding principal balance of this note.
If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or the
Mortgage and any cure period provided for in the Loan Agreement or the Mortgage has
expired, the Borrower agrees to pay a default rate of interest equal to ten percent
(10.00%) per annum as the applicable interest rate of this note, and the entire principal
amount outstanding, accrued interest and any other charges due hereon shall at once
become due and payable at the option of the Lender or the holder hereof. Any failure of
the Lender to exercise its right to increase the interest rate by the default rate of interest
set forth above or its option to accelerate this note at any time shall not constitute a
waiver of the right to exercise the same right to increase the interest rate or accelerate at
any subsequent time. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
default rate of interest hereon shall never exceed the highest rate permitted by law.
The Borrower may prepay the principal under this note at any time and from time
to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall
postpone the due date of any Monthly Installment or reduce the amount of any such
Monthly Installment unless the Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
All sums payable to the Lender under this note shall be paid in immediately
available funds.
The Borrower promises to pay all costs in connection with the enforcement of this
note, including but not limited to, those costs, expenses and attorneys' fees of Lender

paid or incurred or to be paid or incurred prior to or after the entry of judgment or for the
pursuance of, or defense of, any litigation, appellate, bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding.
Presentment, notice of dishonor and protest are hereby waived by all makers,
sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This note shall be binding upon Borrower, its
successors and assigns.
The remedies of Lender, as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement and the
Mortgage, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively
or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no
event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
Time is of the essence hereof.

This note shall be governed by and be construed under the laws of the State of
