This Mortgage is upon the express condition that if Mortgagors shall pay to
Mortgagee as and when due and payable the principal and the interest on the
Notes, and shall also keep and perform all and singular the covenants herein
contained, or any other security document referred to therein, including without

is lawfully seized of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and has good right
and full power and authority to execute this Mortgage and to mortgage the
Mortgaged Property; that neither this Mortgage, nor any other security document

ARTICLE I

GENERAL COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS & WARRANTIES

 

Mortgagors make and include in this Mortgage the statutory covenants and other
provisions set forth in Minnesota Statutes Section 507.15 or in any future
Minnesota Statute providing for a statutory form of real estate mortgage and
Mortgagors make the additional covenants, representations and warranties with
Mortgagee, each of which covenants, warranties and representations shall be
deemed to be continuing in nature, made and remade on each day during the time
this Mortgage remains unreleased.

 

1.1Payment of Indebtedness; Observance of Covenants. Mortgagors will duly pay
each installment of principal and interest on the Notes and all other
indebtedness and will perform all other agreements and covenants by Mortgagors
to be performed hereunder or under the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents.

 

1.2Payment of Impositions. Mortgagors agree to pay, before a penalty might
attach for non‑payment 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. Mortgagors 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 Mortgagors 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 a usurious rate of interest on the Indebtedness. Mortgagors shall
promptly furnish to Mortgagee all notices received by any Mortgagor of amounts
due under this paragraph 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 effective date of this Mortgage
providing that any such imposition may not be lawfully paid by a Mortgagor or in
the event that the payment of any such imposition by a 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
Mortgagors shall concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and
non‑usurious portion or balance of said imposition.

 

1.3Payment of Operating Costs; Prior Mortgages and Liens. Except as provided in
Section 1.4 below, Mortgagors agree that they will pay all operating costs and
expenses; keep the Mortgaged Property free from mechanics’, materialmen’s and
other liens not expressly subordinated to the lien of this Mortgage; will keep
the Mortgaged Property free from levy, execution or attachment and will
immediately pay whether or not then due all indebtedness which may be secured by
mortgage, lien or charge on the Mortgaged Property (other than this Mortgage)
and, upon request, will exhibit to Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of such
payment and discharge.

 

1.4Contest of Impositions, Liens and Levies. Mortgagors shall not be required to
pay, discharge or remove any imposition, lien or levy so long as a 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 that Mortgagors shall, prior to the
date such levy, lien or imposition is due and payable,

3

 

 

having 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 Mortgagors 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, Mortgagors 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.

 

1.5Maintenance and Repairs. Mortgagors agree that they will keep and maintain
the Mortgaged Property 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. Mortgagors further agree that, without the prior consent of
Mortgagee, it will not remove from the Mortgaged Property any fixtures outside
the ordinary course of a Mortgagor’s business or personal property unless the
same is immediately replaced with like fixtures or personal property of at least
equal value or is otherwise removable under Section 5.1 hereof; or expand any
improvements on the Mortgaged Property, erect any new improvements or make any
material alterations in any improvements which will alter the basic structure,
affect the market value or change the existing architectural character of the
Mortgaged Property except as the same may be done in accordance with the Loan
Agreement. Mortgagors agree not to acquiesce in any rezoning classification,
modification or restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee’s
written consent. Mortgagors agree that they will not vacate or abandon the
Mortgaged Property.

 

1.6Insurance.

 

1.6.1So long as any Indebtedness remains unpaid, Mortgagors shall, at its own
cost, maintain with insurers of recognized responsibility acceptable to
Mortgagee, rated A- or better by A.M. Best, the insurance required by the Loan
Agreement, and upon the Mortgaged Property now existing or hereafter erected,
hazard and fire insurance on such completed improvements 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
co-insurance clause, in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof or
such additional amounts and for such periods as may be required by Mortgagee. If
the Mortgaged Property is located in an area designated in the Flood Disaster
Act of 1973, as amended, as having “specific flood hazards,” or should the
Mortgaged Property be shown on any map maintained by the Federal Emergency
Management Administration (“FEMA”), the county in which the Mortgaged Property
is located or the city in which the Mortgaged Property is located, or any other
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property, as being
within the one hundred (100) year flood plain, Mortgagee shall be provided by
Mortgagors, if requested, with a flood insurance policy covering the Mortgaged
Property satisfactory in Mortgagee’s discretion. Mortgagors shall pay 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 Mortgagors 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
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 Mortgagors in and to any insurance policies then in
force shall pass to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale.

4

 

 

 

1.6.2The policies of all such insurance shall have loss payable provisions in
favor of and 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 a 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, Mortgagors shall give
prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Mortgagee; Mortgagors shall duly make
proof of loss, and shall immediately furnish to Mortgagee a copy of such proof
of loss. Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to collect and receive all
insurance proceeds, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under this Mortgage, it shall apply such proceeds to the restoration of the
Mortgaged Property and make disbursements thereof according and subject to the
provisions of the Loan Agreement relating to the disbursement of proceeds of the
Loans. Any insurance proceeds not so applied shall be applied to the payment of
the Indebtedness without prepayment premium or premium, if any. If Mortgagee
applies any insurance proceeds to the Indebtedness, then notwithstanding any
restrictions on prepayment in the Notes, Mortgagors may prepay all (but not less
than all) of the Indebtedness at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the date of such application, without prepayment premium or penalty, if
any.

 

1.7Inspection. 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.

 

1.8Protection of Mortgagee’s Security. If a Mortgagor fails to perform any of
the covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage or if any action or
proceeding is commenced which does or may adversely affect the Mortgaged
Property or the interest of a Mortgagor, at Mortgagee’s option, Mortgagee 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, Mortgagee elects or is obligated to use the proceeds 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 attorneys’
fees, shall become additional indebtedness of Mortgagors secured by this
Mortgage. All amounts disbursed or costs incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to this
Section shall be payable upon demand, and shall bear interest from the date of
disbursement or incurrence at the highest rate set forth in the Notes 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 Section.

 

1.9Mortgagors’ Covenant to Provide Information. Mortgagors covenant to provide
documentation and such other information as is required by the terms and
conditions of this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents.

with all governmental requirements. The use of the Mortgaged Property for its
present and intended purposes does not and will not violate any private covenant
or restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is zoned
to permit the use thereof for its present and intended purpose. Mortgagors
warrant and represent that Mortgagors have complied, and shall hereafter comply,
with all valid laws, rules, ordinances and regulations of the federal, state and
local government, and all agencies and subdivisions thereof which laws, rules,
ordinances and regulations apply or relate to the Mortgaged Property, the
development, construction and improvements existing or contemplated thereon or
as a part thereof, or the improvements now or hereafter located thereon or a
part thereof, including but not limited to all such laws, rules, ordinances, and
regulations regarding land use, zoning, building, subdivision, environment,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, pollution and sales practices.

 

1.12Mechanics and Laborers. Mortgagors shall pay from time to time when the same
shall become due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen,
laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation
of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and in general will do

supervision of a consulting engineer approved in advance in writing by

Mortgagors, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s)
and/or the consulting engineer and Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. In
the event Mortgagors shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or
fail to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Mortgagee may,
but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all
costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall become
part of the Indebtedness.

transfer of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein
(except leases in writing and in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise

Mortgagee, which consent may be granted or withheld by Mortgagee at its sole
discretion. 

 

ARTICLE III

ACCELERATION AND FORECLOSURE; OTHER REMEDIES

 

Upon any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise one or more of
the following rights and remedies (and any other rights and remedies available
to it under any of the Loan Documents):

 

3.1Acceleration. Mortgagee may declare immediately due and payable all unmatured
Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and the same shall thereupon be
immediately due and payable without notice or demand.

 

3.2Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) Remedies. Mortgagee shall have and may
exercise with respect to all personal property and fixtures which are part of
the Mortgaged Property, all the rights and remedies accorded upon default to a
secured party under the UCC as in effect in the State of Minnesota.

 

3.3Foreclosure by Action or Advertisement. Mortgagee may (and is hereby
authorized and empowered to) foreclose this Mortgage by action or advertisement,
pursuant to the statutes of the State of Minnesota in such case made and
provided, power being expressly granted to sell the Mortgaged Property at public
auction and convey the same to the purchaser in fee simple and, out of the
proceeds 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 Mortgagors agree
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
auction or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of
this Mortgage, Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, may become the purchaser,
and for the purpose of making settlement for or payment of the purchase price,
shall be entitled to deliver over and use the Notes and any claims for interest
accrued and unpaid thereon, together with all other sums, with interest,
advanced and unpaid hereunder, and all statutory charges for such foreclosure
including maximum attorneys’ fees allowed by law in order that there may be
credited as paid on the purchase price the sum then due under the Notes,
including principal and interest thereon and all other sums, with interest,
advanced and unpaid hereunder, and all charges and expenses of such foreclosure
including maximum attorneys’ fees allowed by law. Mortgagors acknowledge that if
Mortgagee elects to foreclose by advertisement and cause the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof to be sold at public auction, notice of such sale must be
published at least once per week for six (6) successive weeks in a newspaper of
general circulation and that personal notice is not required to be served upon
any Mortgagor. Mortgagors further understand that in the event of such default,
Mortgagee may also elect its rights under the UCC and take possession of the
personal property (as defined in the Mortgage) and dispose of the same by sale
or otherwise in one or more parcels provided that at least ten (10) days’ prior
notice of such disposition must be given, all as provided for by the UCC, as
hereafter amended or by any similar or replacement statute hereafter enacted.
Mortgagors further understand that under the Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, it may have the right to notice
and hearing before the Mortgaged Property may be sold and that the procedure for
foreclosure by advertisement described above does not insure that notice will be
given, and neither said procedure for foreclosure by

10

 

 

advertisement nor the UCC requires any hearing or other judicial proceeding.

 

EACH MORTGAGOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES TO THE FORECLOSURE AND SALE OF THE
MORTGAGED PROPERTY BY ACTION PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 581 OR, AT
THE OPTION OF MORTGAGEE, BY ADVERTISEMENT PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER
580 (OR PURSUANT TO ANY SIMILAR OR REPLACEMENT STATUTES HEREAFTER ENACTED),
WHICH PROVIDES FOR SALE AFTER SERVICE OF NOTICE THEREOF UPON THE OCCUPANT OF THE
MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND PUBLICATION OF SAID NOTICE FOR SIX (6) WEEKS (OR SUCH
LESSER PERIOD AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY STATUTE) IN THE COUNTY IN MINNESOTA WHERE
THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS SITUATED; ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SERVICE NEED NOT BE MADE
UPON ANY MORTGAGOR PERSONALLY (UNLESS A MORTGAGOR IS AN OCCUPANT) AND THAT NO
HEARING OF ANY TYPE IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE; AND EXCEPT AS MAY
BE PROVIDED IN SAID STATUTES EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO PRIOR NOTICE
OF SALE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A PRIOR HEARING OF
ANY TYPE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

 

EACH MORTGAGOR HEREBY RELINQUISHES, WAIVES AND GIVES UP ANY AND ALL OF THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING BEFORE SALE OF THE MORTGAGED
PROPERTY AND EXPRESSLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY MAY BE
FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT THE PERSONAL PROPERTY MAY BE DISPOSED OF
PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, ALL AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. EACH MORTGAGOR
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL; THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS
DOCUMENT, THIS SECTION AND EACH MORTGAGOR’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WERE FULLY
EXPLAINED BY SUCH COUNSEL AND THAT EACH MORTGAGOR UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND
EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREBY AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH WAIVER.

 

3.4Receiver. Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right, without notice
and without giving bond and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of a
Mortgagor, or waste of the Mortgaged Property or adequacy of the security of the
Mortgaged Property, to apply for and obtain the appointment of a receiver, in
accordance with the statutes and laws made and provided. The receiver shall
collect the rents, and all other income of any kind; manage the Mortgaged
Property so to prevent waste; execute leases within or beyond the period of
receivership, pay all expenses for normal maintenance of the Mortgaged Property
and perform the terms of this Mortgage and apply the rents, issues and profits
in the following order to: (i) payment of the reasonable fees of said receiver;
(ii) application of tenant security deposits as required by Minnesota Statutes;
and (iii) as further provided in any Assignment of Rents executed by Mortgagors
as further security for the Indebtedness (whether included in this Mortgage or
separate instrument), including but not limited to applying the same to the
costs and expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to
the repayment of the Indebtedness and to the operation, maintenance, upkeep and
repair of the Mortgaged Property, including payment of taxes and payment of
premiums of insurance. Mortgagors hereby irrevocably consent to such
appointment.

 

3.5Forbearance and Other Rights of Mortgagee. Any delay by Mortgagee in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law or
equity, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of such right or
remedy or any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity. The
failure of Mortgagee to exercise any option 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 of
proceedings provided for by this Mortgage shall not be a waiver of the right to
exercise such option or to accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness by
reason of any past, present or future event which would

11

 

 

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 a
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 alter
or amend the terms of this Mortgage in any way. No such release, modification,
addition or change shall affect the liability of any person other than the
person so released, for payment of any Indebtedness, nor the priority and first
lien status of this Mortgage upon any Mortgaged Property not so released.

 

3.6Release of and Resort to Collateral. For payment of the Indebtedness,
Mortgagee may resort to any security therefor in any such order and manner as
Mortgagee may elect without in any way affecting the lien and security interests
hereof.

 

3.7No Release Implied. No Mortgagor shall be relieved of any obligation
hereunder by reason of:

 

3.7.1the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of a Mortgagor to
foreclose the lien of this Mortgage or to enforce any provisions of the other
credit documents;

 

3.7.2any agreement or stipulation between a Mortgagor or any subsequent owner of
the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagee extending, renewing, rearranging or in any
other way modifying the terms of this Mortgage without first having obtained the
consent of, given notice to, or paid any consideration to, Mortgagee and in such
event a Mortgagor shall continue to be liable to make payment hereunder
according to the terms of such extension or modification agreement unless
expressly released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee; or

 

3.7.3by any other act or occurrence, save and except the complete release of
this Mortgage by Mortgagee.

 

ARTICLE IV

CONDEMNATION

 

4.1Notice. Mortgagors will give Mortgagee prompt notice of any action, actual or
threatened, in condemnation or eminent domain, direct or inverse.

 

4.2Awards. Each Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee
the entire proceeds of any award or payment which becomes payable by reason of
any taking of or damage to the Mortgaged Property, or any part or appurtenance
thereof, either temporarily, permanently, in or by condemnation or other eminent
domain proceedings or by reason of sale under threat thereof, or in anticipation
of the exercise of the right of condemnation or other eminent domain
proceedings. Mortgagors will file or prosecute in good faith and with due
diligence what would otherwise be its claim in any such award or payment and
cause the same to be collected and paid over to Mortgagee, and each Mortgagor
irrevocably authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, which power is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable, in the name of Mortgagors or otherwise, in the
event that a Mortgagor fails to do so, to file and prosecute any such claim and
to collect, receipt for and retain the same. Mortgagee is authorized and
empowered to collect and receive the proceeds or the award or payment, and if no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Mortgage, it shall
apply such proceeds, after deducting all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and
other expenses which may have been incurred by Mortgagee in collection thereof,
to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property and make disbursements thereof
according and subject to the provisions of the Loan

12

 

 

Agreement relating to the disbursement of proceeds of the Loans. Any
condemnation proceeds not so applied shall be applied to the payment of the
Indebtedness without prepayment premium, if any. If Mortgagee applies any
condemnation award (other than an award remaining after restoration is complete)
to the Indebtedness, then notwithstanding any restrictions on prepayment in the
Notes, Mortgagors may prepay all (but not less than all) of the Indebtedness at
any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such
application.

 

ARTICLE V

UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE

 

5.1Security Interest. This Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement as
defined in the UCC with respect to (and Mortgagors hereby grant to Mortgagee a
security interest in) all personal property and fixtures included in and/or on
the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagors will pay to Mortgagee, on demand, the amount
of any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
legal expenses) paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy referred to in this Section. In any instance where a
Mortgagor in its reasonable discretion determines that any item subject to a
security interest under this Mortgage has become inadequate, obsolete, worn out,
unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary for the operation of the Mortgaged
Property, a Mortgagor may, at its expense, remove and dispose of it provided
that such removal and substitution shall not impair the operating utility and
unity of the Mortgaged Property. All substituted items shall become a part of
the Mortgaged Property and subject to the lien of the Mortgage. Any amounts
received or allowed a Mortgagor upon the sale or other disposition of the
removed items of Mortgaged Property shall be applied first against the cost of
acquisition and installation of the substituted items. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent any tenant or subtenant from removing from the
Mortgaged Property trade fixtures, furniture and equipment installed by it and
removable by tenant under its terms of a lease, on the condition, however, that
Mortgagors shall assure the repair of any and all damages to the Mortgaged
Property resulting from or caused by the removal thereof.

 

5.2Fixture Filing. From the date of its recording, this Mortgage shall be
effective as a financing statement with respect to all goods constituting part

purpose to be an interest in real estate. For this purpose, the following

cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage or afforded by law
or equity and may be exercised concurrently or independently as often as the
occasion therefor arises.

 

6.2Successors and Assigns Bound; Captions. The covenants and agreements herein
contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagee and
Mortgagors. The captions and headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Mortgage are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define
the provisions hereof.

 

6.3Notices. Any notice from Mortgagee to a Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall
be given pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

6.4Governing Law; Severability. This Mortgage shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Minnesota. In the event that any provision or clause of this
Mortgage conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other
provisions of this Mortgage which can be given effect without conflicting
provisions and, to this end, the provisions of the Mortgage are declared to be
severable.

 

6.5Waiver of Appraisement, Homestead & Marshaling. Each Mortgagor hereby waives
the benefit of any homestead, appraisement, evaluation, stay and extension laws
now or hereafter in force. Each Mortgagor hereby waives any rights available
with respect to marshaling of assets so as to require the separate sale of any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, or to require Mortgagee to exhaust its
remedies against a specific portion of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding
against the other. Each Mortgagor represents and warrants that the Mortgaged
Property is not a homestead.

 

6.6Subsequent Agreements. Any agreement hereafter made by a Mortgagor and
Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the
holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.

 

6.7Future Advances.

 

6.7.1To the extent that this Mortgage secures future advances or re-advances,
the amount of such advances is not currently known. The acceptance of this
Mortgage by Mortgagee, however, constitutes an acknowledgment that Mortgagee is
aware of the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 287.05, subdivision 5, and
intends to comply with the requirements contained therein.

 

6.7.2The maximum principal amount of indebtedness secured by this Mortgage at
any one time, excluding advances made by Mortgagee in protection of the
Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Mortgage, shall be $10,755,000.00.

 

6.7.3The representations contained in this Section are made solely for the
benefit of county recording authorities in determining the mortgage registry tax

by Mortgagee to make any future advances to any Mortgagor.

14

 

 

 

6.8Recording Fees and Taxes. Mortgagors shall pay all recording and filing fees
and taxes, including documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes, associated
with the execution and recordation of this Mortgage and the execution and
delivery of the Notes or obligations secured by this Mortgage, and all
amendments and extensions hereto. Mortgagors shall pay the costs of releasing,
satisfying or amending this Mortgage of record. In the event of a court decree
or an enactment after the date hereof by any legislative authority of any law
imposing upon Mortgagee the payment of the whole or any part of the amounts
herein required to be paid by Mortgagors, or changing in any way the laws
relating to the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or a
mortgagee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, so as to impose such imposition
on Mortgagee or on the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property, then, in
any such event, Mortgagor shall bear and pay the full amount of such imposition,
provided that if for any reason payment by a Mortgagor of any such imposition
would be unlawful, or if the payment thereof would constitute usury or render
the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious, Mortgagee, at its option, may
declare the Indebtedness with interest thereon, to be immediately due and
payable, without prepayment premium, or Mortgagee, at its option, may pay that
amount or portion of such imposition as renders the Indebtedness unlawful or
usurious, in which event Mortgagors shall concurrently therewith pay the
remaining lawful and non-usurious portion or balance of said imposition.

 

6.9Indemnification by Mortgagors. Mortgagors shall bear all loss, expense
(including attorneys’ fees) and damages (and agree to jointly and severally
indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee and each of its agents) recovered against
Mortgagee or any of its agents, servants and employees because of bodily
injuries, including death at any time resulting therefrom and/or because of
damages to property of Mortgagee or other (including loss of use) from any cause
whatsoever, arising out of, incidental to, or in connection with the
construction and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property and any improvement
located thereon or arising by reason of the presence of Hazardous Substances,
asbestos, PCBs, petroleum products, volatile hydrocarbon on the Mortgaged
Property or in any improvements located thereon or releases thereof from the
Mortgaged Property, whether or not due to any act of omission or commission,
including negligence of a Mortgagor or a Mortgagor’s employees, servants or
agents, and whether or not due to any act of omission or commission of Mortgagee
or its employees, servants or agents. Each Mortgagor’s liability hereunder shall
not be limited to the extent of insurance carried by or provided by a Mortgagor
or subject to any exclusions from coverage in any insurance policy. The
obligations of Mortgagors under this Section shall survive the payment of the
Notes.

 

6.10Modification or Termination. Each Mortgagor, for itself and for all future
owners of the Mortgaged Property, agrees that this Mortgage may be modified,
varied, extended, renewed or reinstated at any time by agreement between the
holder of this Mortgage and Mortgagors or the then owner of the Mortgaged
Property, without notice to, or the consent of, any subordinate mortgagee,
judgment creditor or lienor, and any such modification, variance, extension,
renewal or reinstatement shall be binding upon such subordinate mortgagee,
judgment creditor or lienor with the same force and effect as if said
subordinate mortgagee, judgment creditor or lienor had affirmatively consented
thereto. It is the intention of Mortgagors and Mortgagee that any modification
shall maintain the same lien priority as the original Mortgage.

failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart should not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Mortgage. The pages of any
counterpart of this Mortgage containing any party’s signature or the
acknowledgement of such party’s signature hereto may be detached therefrom
without impairing the effect of the signature or acknowledgement, provided such
pages are attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having
