--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 1.07.   Taxes and Related Matters.

 

(a)  The Mortgagor, from time to time when the same shall become due and
payable, will pay and discharge or cause the Lessor under the Lease to pay and
discharge, pursuant to the Lease, all taxes of every kind and nature, all
general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees,
all water and sewer rents and charges, and all other public charges whether of a
like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed against the Mortgaged Estate,
or any part thereof, or upon the revenues, rents, issues, income, and profits of
the Mortgaged Estate, or any part thereof, or arising in respect of the
occupancy, use, or possession thereof. The Mortgagor will, upon the request of
the Mortgagee, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee receipts
evidencing the payment of all such taxes, assessments, levies, fees, rents, and
other public charges imposed upon or assessed against the Mortgaged Estate, or
any part thereof, or the revenues, rents, issues, income, or profits thereof.

 

The Mortgagee may, at its option to be exercised by thirty (30) days written
notice to the Mortgagor following an Event of Default by the Mortgagor, require
the deposit by the Mortgagor, at the time of each payment of an installment of
interest or principal under the Loan Agreement, of an additional amount
sufficient to discharge the obligations under this subsection (a) when they
become due. The determination of the amount so payable and of the fractional
part thereof to be deposited with the Mortgagee, so that the aggregate of such
deposit shall be sufficient for this purpose, shall be made by the Mortgagee in
its sole discretion. Such amounts shall be held by the Mortgagee without
interest and applied to the payment of the obligations in respect to which such
amounts were deposited or, at the option of the Mortgagee, to the payment of
said obligations in such order or priority as the Mortgagee shall determine, on
or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become
delinquent. If one month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned
obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the
payment of such obligation in full, the Mortgagor within ten (10) days after
demand shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with the Mortgagee. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of the Mortgagee
under any provisions of this Mortgage or of any statute or rule of law to pay
any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Secured Obligations.

 

(b)  The Mortgagor will pay, or cause the Lessor under the Lease to pay,
pursuant to the Lease, from time to time when the same shall become due, all
lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others, which
claims and demands, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a
lien on the Mortgaged Estate or any part thereof, or on the revenues, rents,
issues, income, and profits arising therefrom and in general will do or cause to
be done everything necessary so that the lien shall be fully preserved, at the
cost of the Mortgagor, without expense to the Mortgagee.

 

(c)  Nothing in this Section 1.07 shall require the payment or discharge of any
obligation imposed upon the Mortgagor by this Section 1.07 so long as the
Mortgagor shall in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the
validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent
the collection thereof or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture
of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same or termination of the
Lease; provided that during such contest the Mortgagor shall, at the option of
the Mortgagee, provide security satisfactory to the Mortgagee, assuring the
discharge of the Mortgagor’s

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

obligation hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty, or expense arising
from or incurred as a result of such contest.  Any such contest shall be
prosecuted with due diligence and the Mortgagor shall promptly after final
determination thereof pay the amount of any such lien or obligation so
determined, together with all interest and penalties which may be payable in
connection therewith.  Notwithstanding these provisions the Mortgagor shall (and
if the Mortgagor shall fail so to do, the Mortgagee, may but shall not be
required to) pay any such lien or obligation notwithstanding such contest if in
the opinion of the Mortgagee, the Mortgaged Estate shall be in jeopardy or in
danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

 

Section 1.08.   Protection of Security.  The Mortgagor shall promptly notify the
Mortgagee of and appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding that
affects the Mortgaged Estate, the Lease or the rights or interest of the
Mortgagee hereunder or the rights or interest of the Mortgagor under the Lease
and the Mortgagee may elect to appear in or defend any such action or
proceeding.  The Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and reimburse the Mortgagee from
any and all loss, damage, expense or cost arising out of or incurred in
connection with any such suit, action or proceeding, including costs of evidence
of title and reasonable attorney’s fees and such amounts together with interest
thereon at the interest rate provided in the Loan Agreement shall become
additional indebtedness secured hereby, as applicable, and shall become
immediately due and payable.

 

Section 1.09.   Insurance.

 

(a)  The Mortgagor shall keep the Leasehold Improvements and Fixtures insured
against damage by fire and other hazards as required by the Lease, and each
policy shall be endorsed to name the Mortgagee as an additional insured
thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to the Mortgagee,
without contribution or assessment, under a standard mortgagee clause.  Subject
to any insurance requirements in the Lease, all insurance policies and
endorsements required pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall be fully paid for and
nonassessable and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such
form and amounts and issued by such insurance companies satisfactory to the
Mortgagee. Without limiting the foregoing, each policy shall specifically
provide that (i) such policy may not be canceled except upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the Mortgagee and that no act or thing done by the
Mortgagor shall invalidate the policy as against the Mortgagee, (ii) such policy
may not be amended, modified or altered without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee, and (iii) any and all insurance proceeds allocated to the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Lease will be paid to the Mortgagee. In addition, the Mortgagee
may require the Mortgagor to carry such other insurance on the Leasehold
Improvements and Fixtures in such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably
required by the Mortgagee, against insurable casualties. The Mortgagor will
assign and deliver the policy or policies of all such insurance to the
Mortgagee, which policy or policies shall have endorsed thereon the standard
mortgagee clause in the name of the Mortgagee, so and in such manner and form
that the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall at all times have and
hold said policy or policies as collateral and further security for the payment
of the Secured Obligations until the full payment of the Secured Obligations. In
addition, from time to time, upon the occurrence of any change in the use,
operation, or value of the Premises, or in the availability of insurance in the
area in which the Premises are located, the Mortgagor shall, within five
(5) days after demand by the Mortgagee, take out such additional amounts and/or
such other kinds of insurance as the Mortgagee may reasonably require.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)  If Mortgagor takes out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section 1.09, the Mortgagee shall be included thereon as a named insured with
loss payable to the Mortgagee under a standard mortgage endorsement of the
character above described. The Mortgagor shall immediately notify the Mortgagee
whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to
the Mortgagee the policy or policies of such insurance.

 

(c)  If the Premises, or any part thereof, are located in an area which has been
identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as a flood hazard
area, the Mortgagor will keep, for as long as any Secured Obligations remains
unpaid, the Leasehold Improvements covered by flood insurance in an amount at
least equal to the full amount of the Loan Agreement or the maximum limit of
coverage available for the Premises under the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as the same may have been or
may hereafter be amended or modified (and any successor act thereto), whichever
is less.

 

(d)  The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt notice of any loss covered by
insurance and the Mortgagee shall have the right to join the Mortgagor in
adjusting any loss in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  The
Mortgagee shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply any insurance
proceeds it may receive pursuant hereto, or otherwise to the payment of the
Secured Obligations or to allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for
the restoration of the Premises. In the event any such insurance proceeds shall
be used to reduce the Secured Obligations, the same shall be applied by the
Mortgagee, after the deduction therefrom and repayment to the Mortgagee of any
and all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagee in the recovery thereof, in
any manner it shall designate, including but not limited to the application of
such proceeds to the then unpaid installments of the principal balance due under
the Loan Agreement in the inverse order of their maturity, such that the regular
payments, if any, under the Loan Agreement shall not be reduced or altered in
any manner.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor may, upon timely
notice to Mortgagee not later than sixty (60) days after the loss occurred,
require that the insurance proceeds be utilized for restoration of the Premises
if and only if there is no Event of Default existing, the Mortgagor can
demonstrate to the Mortgagee’s satisfaction that the insurance proceeds together
with other funds deposited with the Mortgagee are sufficient to restore the
Premises and Mortgagor complies with such disbursement and construction terms as
the Mortgagee deems reasonably necessary.  If at any time during the restoration
of the Premises an Event of Default occurs, the Mortgagee may at its option
apply any amounts it is holding for restoration of the Premises to reduce the
Secured Obligations.  Any balance that the Mortgagee has retained after
restoration of the Premises may at its option be applied to reduce the Secured
Obligations.

 

Section 1.10.   Advances.  If the Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the
covenants contained herein, the Mortgagee may make advances to perform the same
in its behalf, and all sums so advanced shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged
Estate and shall be secured hereby. The Mortgagor will repay on demand all sums
so advanced on its behalf with interest at the rate provided in the Loan
Agreement. The provisions of this Section 1.10 shall not prevent any default in
the observance of any covenant contained herein from constituting an Event of
Default.

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 1.11.   Maintenance of Premises.  The Mortgagor will not commit any
waste on the Mortgaged Estate, or any part thereof, or make any change in the
use of the Mortgaged Estate, or any part thereof, which will in any way increase
any ordinary fire or other hazard arising out of construction or operation. The
Mortgagor will, at all times, maintain, or cause the Lessor under the Lease to
maintain, the Leasehold Improvements in good operating order and condition and
will promptly make or cause the Lessor under the Lease promptly to make, from
time to time, all repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, and improvements
in connection therewith which are needful or desirable to such end.

 

Section 1.12.   Condemnation Proceedings.  The Mortgagor, immediately upon
obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation
of the Premises or any part thereof, will notify the Mortgagee of the pendency
of such proceedings. The Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and
the Mortgagor from time to time will deliver to the Mortgagee all instruments
requested by it to permit such participation. In the event of such condemnation
proceedings, the award or compensation payable is hereby assigned to and shall
be paid to the Mortgagee. In any such condemnation proceedings, the Mortgagee
may be represented by counsel selected by the Mortgagee. The proceeds of any
award or compensation so received by the Mortgagor pursuant to the Lease shall,
at the option of the Mortgagee, be applied either to the payment of the Secured
Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the Secured Obligations may not then
be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Leasehold Improvements. In the
event that any portion of the condemnation awards or compensation shall be used
to reduce the Secured Obligations, same shall be applied by the Mortgagee in any
manner it shall designate, including, but not limited to, the application of
such award or compensation to the then unpaid installments of the principal
balance due under the Loan Agreement in the inverse order of their maturity such
that the regular payments under the Loan Agreement shall not be reduced or
altered in any manner. The Mortgagor, upon request by the Mortgagee, shall make,
execute, and deliver any and all instruments requested for the purpose of
confirming the assignment of the aforesaid awards and compensation to the
Mortgagee free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind or
nature whatsoever. The Mortgagee shall not be limited to the interest paid on
the proceeds of any award or compensation, but shall be entitled to the payment
by the Mortgagor of interest at the applicable rate provided for in the Loan
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor may, upon timely notice
to Mortgagee not later than sixty (60) days after the loss occurred require that
the condemnation awards or compensation be utilized for restoration of the
Premises if and only if there is no Event of Default existing, the Mortgagor can
demonstrate to the Mortgagee’s satisfaction that the condemnation awards or
compensation together with other funds deposited with the Mortgagee are
sufficient to restore the Premises and Mortgagor complies with such disbursement
and construction terms as the Mortgagee deems reasonably necessary.  If at any
time during the restoration of the Premises an Event of Default occurs, the
Mortgagee may at its option apply any amounts it is holding for restoration of
the Premises to reduce the Secured Obligations.  Any balance that the Mortgagee
has retained after restoration of the Premises may at its option be applied to
reduce the Secured Obligations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 1.13.        Lease Assignment and Related Matters

 

(a)  The Mortgagor will not (i) execute an assignment of the rents, or any part
thereof, from the Premises, or (ii) except where the lessee is in default
thereunder and upon the prior written approval of the Mortgagee, terminate or
consent to the cancellation or surrender of the Lease, or (iii) modify the Lease
without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee as to such modification, or
(iv) in any other manner impair the value of the Mortgaged Estate or the
security of this Mortgage.

 

(b)  The Mortgagor will not execute any lease or sublease of any portion of the
Premises, and will at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be
performed promptly, all of the covenants, conditions, and agreements contained
in the Lease and will at all times do all things necessary to compel performance
by the Lessor under the Lease of all obligations, covenants, and agreements by
such Lessor to be performed thereunder.

 

(c)  The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee copies of all notices received
or sent by the Mortgagor pursuant to or in connection with the Lease immediately
upon the receipt.

 

Section 1.14.        Hazardous Materials.  The Mortgagor covenants, represents
and warrants to the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, that, to the best of
Mortgagor’s knowledge the Premises and the Mortgagor’s existing and prior uses
comply and have at all times complied with, and the Mortgagor is not in
violation of, has not violated and will not violate, in connection with the
ownership, use, lease, maintenance or operation of the Premises and Leasehold
Improvements and the conduct of the business related thereto, any applicable
federal, state, City or local statutes, laws, regulations, rules, ordinances,
codes, standards, orders, licenses and permits of any governmental authorities
relating to environmental matters (being hereinafter collectively referred to as
the “Environmental Laws”), including by way of illustration and not by way of
limitation the Clean Air Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972,
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, and the Toxic
Substances Control Act (including any amendments or extensions thereof and any
rules, regulations, standards or guidelines issued pursuant to any of said
Environmental Laws), and all other applicable environmental standards or
requirements.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: i) the
Mortgagor, its agents, employees and independent contractors, (a) has and will
operate the Premises and Leasehold Improvements and has and at all times will
receive, handle use, store, treat, transport and dispose of all petroleum
products and all other toxic dangerous or hazardous chemicals, materials,

indemnities running with the land for the benefit of the Mortgagee, and any

cost, shall bear interest thereon at the rate of interest in effect on the Loan
Agreement or other indebtedness secured hereby and shall become so much
additional indebtedness secured hereby and shall become immediately due and
payable in full on demand of the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns.

 

Section 1.15.        No Claim Against the Mortgagee.  Nothing contained in this
Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or
implied, for the performance of any labor or services or for the furnishing of
any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Estate or any part
thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor or any party in interest with the Mortgagor
any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any
labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such
fashion as would create any personal liability against the Mortgagee in respect

performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or
other property is prior to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

Section 1.16.        Inspection.  The Mortgagor will permit the Mortgagee’s

attorney-in-fact to perform or observe on behalf of the Mortgagor any covenant
or condition which the Mortgagor fails to perform or observe under the Lease

by the Mortgagee in connection with such performance or observance shall be
repaid by the Mortgagor within ten (10) days of demand with interest at the rate
set forth in the Loan Agreement and the amount so advanced, with interest, shall
be a lien upon the Mortgaged Estate and shall be secured by this Mortgage. The
performance or observance of such covenant or condition by the Mortgagee shall
not prevent the

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mortgagor’s failure so to perform or observe from constituting an Event of
Default. In performing or observing any such covenant or condition, the
Mortgagee shall have the right to enter upon the Mortgaged Estate. Upon receipt
by the Mortgagee from the Lessor under the Lease of any notice of default under
the Lease, the Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action permitted by this
Section 1.19 or the Lease to remedy such default notwithstanding that the
existence of such default or the nature thereof may be questioned or denied by

the happening of any of the following:

 

(a)  the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement; or

 

(b)  if default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of the Mortgagor contained in Article I of
this Mortgage, and such default shall have continued for a period of twenty (20)
days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Mortgagor by the
Mortgagee; or

 

(c)  if any representation made in Section 1.01 shall be incorrect at the time
such representation was made or deemed to be made, it shall be deemed to be a
default; or

 

(d)  if the Mortgagor sells, transfers, assigns, conveys, or encumbers the
Premises or the Mortgaged Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein
without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee; or

 

(e)  if any person or entity having or claiming an interest in the Mortgagor or
the Mortgaged Estate commences an action or proceeding against the Mortgagor,
the Mortgaged Estate, or any person or entity having or claiming an interest in
the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Estate.

 

Section 2.02.        Mortgagee’s Right to Accelerate.  If an Event of Default
shall occur the Mortgagee may on such notice as may be required by SDCL 21-49-13
or other law declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan Agreement
together with all other indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and
payable and thereupon all such unpaid principal balance of the Loan Agreement
together with all accrued interest thereon at the rate of interest provided in
Loan Agreement and all other indebtedness secured hereby shall be and become
immediately due and payable.  This notice may be given concurrently with any
notice of default required to be provided under the Loan Agreement or
Section 2.01 above.

 

Section 2.03.        Right to Foreclose.  If an Event of Default shall occur and
upon the giving of notice to the Mortgagor as provided in the Loan Agreement and

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceedings or
remedy to enforce payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or the performance
of any other term hereof or any other right and the Mortgagor hereby grants the
Mortgagee the power to institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage under any applicable
provision of law, and out of the proceeds arising from sale and foreclosure to
retain the principal and interest due on the Loan Agreement and the other
indebtedness secured hereby together with all such sums of money as the
Mortgagee shall have expended or advanced pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant
to statute together with interest thereon at the rate of interest provided for
in the obligation being foreclosed upon, and all costs and expenses of such
foreclosure, including lawful attorney’s fees, with the balance, if any, to be
paid to the persons entitled thereto by law.  In any such proceeding the
Mortgagee may apply all or any portion of the indebtedness secured hereby to any
bid at a sheriff’s sale conducted hereunder.

 

Section 2.04.        Receiver.  Upon an Event of Default, the Mortgagee is
hereby authorized to appoint a receiver to take possession of the Mortgaged
Estate, if the Mortgaged Estate is abandoned or have a receiver appointed by the

installments of taxes and insurance to be deposited into an escrow account with
the Mortgagee to be applied to such amounts as and when due.

 

Section 2.05.        Sale, Lease, Etc. of Mortgaged Property.   The Mortgagor
will not sell, lease or sub-lease, assign or transfer or otherwise dispose of
the Mortgaged Estate.  If the Mortgagor leases, sub-leases, sells, assigns,
conveys, transfers or otherwise disposes of, or hereafter encumbers, any part of
its interest in the Mortgaged Estate, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagee
shall have the option to declare the obligations secured immediately due and
payable without notice.  This Section 2.05 shall have the effect of a
“due-on-sale clause” as provided for in SDCL 44-8-27.

 

Section 2.06.        Right of Entry.  During the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Mortgagee and its employees, agents or attorneys, may enter into
and upon all or any part of the Premises, and each and every part thereof, and
may exclude the Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and
having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage, and control the Premises;
and upon every such entry, the Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgaged
Estate, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs, or construction, may
maintain and restore the Mortgaged Estate whereof it shall become any of the
Leasehold Improvements possessed as aforesaid, and the Mortgagee may make all
necessary or proper repairs, renewals, and replacements and such useful
alterations, additions, betterments, and improvements thereto and thereon as to
it may seem advisable; and in every such case the Mortgagee shall have the right
to manage and operate the Mortgaged Estate and to carry on the business thereof
and exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor with respect thereto either
in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and the
Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues,
rents, issues, profits, and income of the Mortgaged Estate; and after deducting
the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs,
renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments, and improvements
and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance, and prior or
other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Estate, or any part thereof, as well as
just and reasonable compensation for the

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

services of the Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks,
servants, and other employees by it properly engaged and employed, the Mortgagee
shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, first to the payment of the
principal of the Loan Agreement and the interest thereon, when and as the same
shall become payable, and second to the payment of any other Secured Obligations
and sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage.

 

Section 2.07.        Rights Cumulative.  Each right, power or remedy herein
conferred upon the Mortgagee is cumulative and in addition to every other right,
power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to the
Mortgagee, at law or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and every
right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be
exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Mortgagee and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at
any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by
the Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising hereunder or
arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy or the right of
the Mortgagee to resort thereto at a later date or be construed to be a waiver
of any default or event of default under this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement or
other indebtedness secured hereby.

 

Section 2.08.        Right to Discontinue Proceedings.  In the event the
Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted
under this Mortgage and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the
same for any reason, the Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and
in such event the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former
positions with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby.  This Mortgage, the
Mortgaged Estate and all rights, remedies and recourse of the Mortgagee shall
continue as if the same had not been invoked.

 

Section 2.09.        Right to Reduction of Redemption Period.  In the event of
foreclosure by action, the holder of the certificate of sale may apply to the
court for a reduction of the redemption period if the Mortgaged Estate has been
abandoned by the Mortgagor.  If, after notice to the parties as the court
directs, the court finds the property has been abandoned, the redemption period
may be reduced, but in no event, may the redemption period be reduced to less
than sixty (60) days from the date of recording of the certificate of sale.

 

Section 2.10.        Purchaser at Foreclosure.  Upon the completion of any sale
or sales made by the Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Article II, the
Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and
deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning, and
transferring all estate, right, title, and interest in and to the property and
rights sold. The Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of the Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary
conveyances, assignments, transfers, and deliveries of the Mortgaged Estate and
rights so sold, and for that purpose the Mortgagee may execute all necessary
instruments of conveyance, assignment, and transfer, and may substitute one or
more persons with like power, the Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all
that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by
virtue hereof. Nevertheless, the Mortgagor, if so requested by the Mortgager,
shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to
the Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be
advisable, in the judgment of the Mortgagee, for that purpose, and as may be
designated in such

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II,
whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of
judicial proceedings of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to
divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever,
whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in and to the properties and
rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against
the Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the
same, or any part thereof, from, through, or under the Mortgagor.

 

Section 2.11.        Waivers; Releases; Resort to Other Security, Etc.  Without
affecting the liability of any party liable for payment of any indebtedness or
obligations secured hereby or performance of any obligation contained herein,
and without affecting the rights of the Mortgagee with respect to any security
not expressly released in writing, the Mortgagee may, at any time, and without
notice to or the consent of the Mortgagor or any party in interest with the
Mortgaged Estate or the Loan Agreement other indebtedness or obligations secured
hereby:

 

(a)  make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of
payment of all or any part of the indebtedness or obligations secured hereby or
modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise
dealing with the lien or charge hereof;

 

(b)  accept any additional security;

 

(c)  release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, including

assignments of rents and leases or other security, and exhaust any one or more
of said security and the security hereunder, either concurrently or
independently and in such order as it may determine.

 

Section 2.12.        Waiver of Appraisement and Marshaling.  The Mortgagor
waives to the full extent lawfully allowed the benefit of any appraisement,
evaluation, stay and extension laws now or hereinafter in force.  The Mortgagor
waives any rights available with respect to marshaling of assets so as to
require the separate sales of any portion of the Mortgaged Estate, or as to
require the Mortgagee to exhaust its remedies against a specific portion of the
Mortgaged Estate before proceeding against the other and does hereby expressly
consent to and authorize the sale of the Mortgaged Estate or any part thereof as
a single unit or parcel or as separate parcels.

 

ARTICLE III

 

UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

Section 3.1.           Security Agreement.  This Mortgage shall constitute a
security agreement as defined in Title 57A of the Uniform Commercial Code of
South Dakota (“Code”) in the Mortgaged Estate.  The remedies of the Mortgagee
hereunder are cumulative and separate, and

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other rights of the
Mortgagee including having any Mortgaged Estate deemed part of the realty upon
any foreclosure thereof.  If notice to any party of the intended disposition of
the Mortgaged Estate is required by law in a particular instance, such notice
shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) days prior to

known to the Mortgagee.  Neither the grant of a security interest pursuant to

ever impair the stated intention of this Mortgage that all Leasehold
Improvements and Fixtures comprising the Mortgaged Estate at all times and for
all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be regarded as
part of the Premises mortgaged hereunder irrespective of whether such item is
physically attached to the Premises or any such item is referred to or reflected
in a financing statement.  The Mortgagor will on demand deliver all financing
statements that may from time to time be required by the Mortgagee to establish,
perfect and continue the priority of the Mortgagee’s security interest in the
Mortgaged Estate and shall pay all expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in
connection with the renewal or extensions of any financing statements, executed
in connection with the Mortgaged Estate; and shall give advance written notice
of any proposed change in the Mortgagor’s name, identity or structure and will
execute and deliver to the Mortgagee prior to or concurrently with such change
all additional financing statements that the Mortgagee may require to establish
and perfect the priority of the Mortgagee’s security interest.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 4.01.        Choice of Law.  The construction and interpretation of this
Mortgage and the indebtedness secured hereby shall be governed by the laws of
the State of South Dakota.

 

Section 4.02.        Successors and Assigns.  This Mortgage and each and every
covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon the
Mortgagor and its successors and assigns.  In the event that the ownership of
the Mortgaged Estate becomes vested in a person or persons other than the
Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall not have any obligation to deal with such
successor or successors in interest unless such transfer is permitted by this
Mortgage, and may thereafter deal with such successor in place of the Mortgagor
without any obligation to thereafter deal with the Mortgagor and without waiving
any liability of the Mortgagor hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or other
indebtedness secured hereby.  No change of ownership shall in any way operate to
release or discharge the liability of the Mortgagor hereunder unless such
release or discharge is expressly agreed to in writing by the Mortgagee.

 

Section 4.03.        Unenforceability of Certain Clauses.  The unenforceability
or invalidity of any provisions hereof shall not render any other provision
herein contained unenforceable or invalid.

 

Section 4.04.        Captions and Headings.  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.

 

Section 4.05.        Notices.  Any notices and other communications permitted or
required by the provisions of this Mortgage (except for telephonic notices

relieve the Mortgagor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or
agreement on the Mortgagor’s part to be performed or observed under or in

the Mortgagee to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or
agreement o the Mortgagor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose
any liability on the Mortgagee for any act or omission on the part of the
Mortgagor relating thereto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 4.07.        Legal Limits of the Secured Obligations Secured Hereby. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Agreement or in
this Mortgage or any document evidencing other indebtedness secured hereby, all
agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between the
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee are hereby limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the
indebtedness secured hereby or otherwise, shall the total liability for payments
in the nature of interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed
by the usury laws of the State of South Dakota.  If any payments in the nature
of interest, additional interest and other charges made under the Loan Agreement
or under this Mortgage or other indebtedness secured hereby are held to be in
excess of the applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State of South
Dakota, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be
considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby
shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payment in the
nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the
applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State of South Dakota.

 

Section 4.08.        Reinstatement.  This Mortgage shall remain in full force
and effect and continue to be effective against the Mortgagor should any
petition be filed by or against the Mortgagor for liquidation or reorganization,
should the Mortgagor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or should a receive or trustee be appointed for all or any significant
part of the Mortgagor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded
or reduced in amount or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of
the indebtedness secured hereby, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent
conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been
made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the indebtedness shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.
