  -3-
  
 3.           Responsibility and
Preservation of Mortgaged Property; Compliance with
Laws.  Mortgagor assumes all liability and responsibility in
connection with all Mortgaged Property acquired by Mortgagor and the obligation

agrees and covenants to comply with and perform at its own expense any and all
present or future, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen laws,
regulations, ordinances or requirements concerning the Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof, or the use thereof, or the streets adjacent thereto, of the

bureaus or offices thereof, or of any governmental, public or quasi-public
authorities now created or hereafter created or of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, any local Board of Fire Underwriters, or other body having similar
functions, or of any liability, fire or other insurance company having policies
outstanding with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
(including, without limitation, all laws, regulations, ordinances and
requirements relating to environmental issues and hazardous substances) (said
laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements hereafter collectively referred
to as the “Laws”).
 
 4.           Taxes.  Mortgagor
shall pay, before the same becomes delinquent, all taxes, assessments and
charges of every nature (collectively, “Taxes”) and by whomever assessed that
may now or hereafter be levied or assessed against, or that by reason of
nonpayment may become a lien upon, the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof,
and, if requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall, prior to the date each Tax
would become delinquent by reason of nonpayment, submit to Mortgagee official
Tax payment receipts or other evidence acceptable to Mortgagee of the due and
punctual payment thereof.  Mortgagor shall not claim on demand or be
entitled to any credit on account of the Obligations for any part of the taxes

insurance against all liability and hazards, including without limitation, fire
and casualty insurance for the mortgaged property as are usually carried by
entities engage in the same or a similar business situated as

the insurance proceeds to rebuild the premises or apply the proceeds to the
outstanding mortgaged sums due pursuant to the terms of this mortgage to satisfy

insurance shall be in an amount satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall name
Mortgagee as an additional insured.

will certify, by a writing duly acknowledged, to Mortgagee or to any proposed
assignee of this Mortgage, the amount of principal and interest then owing on
the Obligations and whether, to Mortgagor's best knowledge, any offsets or
defenses exist against the Obligations, within five (5) days after a request
therefor is received by Mortgagor.
  -4-
  
 9.           Prohibition on
Transfers.  Mortgagor shall not at any time (i) sell, assign,
transfer, convey, lease with option of sale, or dispose of all or any part of or
interest in the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) suffer or permit transfer by
operation of law of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or interest
therein, without the prior written consent thereto of Mortgagee unless the then
remaining balance due under this Mortgage and Notes is satisfied.  In
the event that the ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof
becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice
to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference
to this Mortgage, and the indebtedness hereby secured, in the same manner as
with Mortgagor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor's
liability hereunder or upon the indebtedness hereby secured.  No sale
of the Mortgaged Property shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or
affect the original liability of Mortgagor herein, either in whole or in
part.  Any violation of the foregoing limitations shall be deemed an
Event of Default hereunder.
 
 10.           Reports and
Notices.  Mortgagor will furnish Mortgagee with copies of
reports and notices pertaining to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof,
its value or its operations, and which are submitted by Mortgagor to, or
received by Mortgagor from, any legally constituted authority having
jurisdiction of operations conducted on the Mortgaged Property, including, but
without limitation, any licensing agency, or which deal with any imposition,
condemnation of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or default under
any mortgage or security agreement encumbering the Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof.
 
 11.           Further
Assurances.  Mortgagor will execute, acknowledge and deliver,
at Mortgagor's own cost and expense, all such further acts, deeds, conveyances,
assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall
form time to time reasonably require for the better granting, bargaining,
selling, assigning and conveying to Mortgagee of the Mortgaged
Property.
 
 12.           Authorization to Make
Payments.  Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee or its
designee:
 
 a.           To
pay all taxes or other governmental charges, with all interest costs and charges
accruing thereon, which may at any time be or become a lien on the Mortgaged
Property, or any portion thereof;
 
 b.           To
effect any insurance required hereunder and to pay the premiums thereon;
provided, however, that none of the above provisions shall be construed as
obligatory upon Mortgagee or as making it liable for loss, damage or injury
which may result from the non-insurance of the Mortgaged Property, or any
portion thereof, or other failure;
 
 c.           To
incur or pay any claim, lien, encumbrance or other expense in protecting its
rights hereunder and the security hereby granted;

including, without limitation, the making of such repairs and the taking of such
steps as Mortgagee deems reasonably necessary to prevent or cure waste and the
payment of any reasonable sums and the incurring of reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees; and

security hereof, it being understood that Mortgagee shall have no obligation,
expressed or implied, to advance any funds, incur any expense or liability, or
take any action authorized by this provision or any other provision of this
Mortgage.

Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

failure of Mortgagor to make any payments required under the Notes or this
Mortgage; or
 
 b.           Mortgagor
shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant, warranty, obligation,
provision, representation, or agreement contained in this Mortgage or any other
Obligation;
 
 c.           Any
representation, statement, or warranty made in this Mortgage shall prove to have

Mortgage;
 
 e.           The

 h.           The
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is taken or damaged by eminent domain,

improvement or condemnation proceeding or any other similar manner
(“Condemnation”), regarding such condemnation or proposed
condemnation;
 
 i.           The
Mortgaged Property is materially damaged by any fire or casualty not covered by
insurance sufficient to provide for the material restoration thereof;
 
 j.           The

 14.           Rights and Remedies on
Default.
 
 a.           Acceleration.  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition
to any other rights, powers or remedies conferred herein or by operation of law,
the Required Mortgagees, in their sole judgment and discretion, may declare the
then unpaid principal balance secured by this Mortgage (the “Principal Balance”),
the accrued interest thereon and any other accrued but unpaid portion of the
Obligations to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor. “Required Mortgagees”
means any individual Mortgagee or group of Mortgagees where the sum of the
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding held by such Mortgagee or
Mortgagees aggregates at least sixty percent (60%) of the total principal amount
of all of the Notes then outstanding.
   -6-
  
 b.           Foreclosure and
Sale.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
Mortgagee shall have the right and option to take possession of the Mortgaged
Property and/or proceed with foreclosure and to sell, to the extent and in the
manner permitted by applicable law, all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such place or places, in
such manner and upon such notice as may be required by applicable law, or, in
the absence of any such requirement, as Mortgagee may deem appropriate, and to
make conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers.  Nothing contained in
this Section 14(b)
shall be construed so as to limit in any way Mortgagee’s rights to sell the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, by private sale if, and to the
extent that, such private sale is permitted under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction or by public or private sale after entry of a judgment by any court
of competent jurisdiction so ordering.  Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee to be the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor (coupled with an
interest) and in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor to execute and deliver any
deeds, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and notices which
Mortgagor ought to execute and deliver, and to do and perform any other acts or
things which Mortgagor ought to do and perform under the covenants herein
contained and, generally, to use the name of Mortgagor in the exercise of any of
the powers hereby conferred on Mortgagee.  At any such sale:
(a) whether made under the power herein contained or any other legal
enactment, or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right,
remedy or recourse, it shall not be necessary for Mortgagee to have physically
present, or to have constructive possession of, the Mortgaged Property
(Mortgagor hereby covenanting and agreeing to deliver to Mortgagee any portion
of the Mortgaged Property not actually or constructively possessed by Mortgagee
immediately upon demand by Mortgagee) and the title to and right of possession
of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as completely as if the
same had been actually present and delivered to purchaser at such sale;
(b) each instrument of conveyance executed by Mortgagee shall contain a
general warranty of title, binding upon Mortgagor and its successors and
assigns; (c) each and every recital contained in any instrument of
conveyance made by Mortgagee shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy
of the matters recited therein, including, without limitation, nonpayment and/or
nonperformance of the Obligations and advertisement and conduct of such sale in
the manner provided herein and otherwise required by applicable law;
(d) any and all prerequisites to the validity thereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been performed; (e) the receipt of Mortgagee, or of such
other Person or officer making the sale, shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser for its purchase money and neither such purchaser nor its assigns or
personal representatives shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application
of such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication
or non-application thereof; (f) to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of
its right, title, interest, estate, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law
or in equity (including any statutory or common law right of redemption, which
is hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), in and to
the property sold in any such event, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar,
both at law and in equity, against Mortgagor and any and all other Persons
claiming by, through or under Mortgagor; and (g) to the extent and under
such circumstances as are permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee may be a
purchaser at any such sale, and shall have the right, after paying or accounting
for all costs of said sale or sales, to credit the amount of the then unpaid
Obligations to the amount of its bid (in the order of priority set forth in
Section 15
hereof) in lieu of cash payment.  Each remedy provided in this
instrument is distinct from and cumulative with all other rights and remedies
provided hereunder or afforded by applicable law or equity, and may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively, in any order
whatsoever.
  c.           Judicial
Foreclosure.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right and power to proceed by a suit or
suits in equity or at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenant
or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein
granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Mortgaged
Property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent
jurisdiction, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy.
  d.           Mortgagee’s
Agents.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform
any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Mortgagee, including
the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of
Mortgagee.
   -7-
  
 e.           Receiver.  If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may apply for and
obtain as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, which notice is
hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor, the appointment of a receiver to collect
the rents of the Mortgaged Property and to preserve the security hereof, either
before or after any foreclosure sale or the sale of the Mortgaged Property under
the order of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or under executory or
other legal process, without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the amount then due to Mortgagee, or the solvency of any entity or
entities, person or persons primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of
such amounts; the rents of the Mortgaged Property, in any such event, having
heretofore been assigned to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage as additional
security for the payment of the Obligations secured hereby.  Any money
advanced by Mortgagee in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand
obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing
by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15
hereof.
  f.           Uniform Commercial Code
Remedies.  Mortgagee shall have all of the rights, remedies and
recourses with respect to the personalty and the fixtures afforded to it by the
applicable UCC, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of
the personalty and the fixtures or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the personalty and the fixtures, in addition to, and not in
limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by this
Mortgage or any other Loan Document.
  g.           Mortgagees Right to
Cure.  Mortgagee shall provide Mortgagor with ten (10) days to
cure a monetary Event of Default.  Mortgagee shall provide Mortgagor
with a thirty (30) day time period to cure a non-monetary Event of Default,
which period shall begin the date Mortgagor knows or should have known of the
existence of such Event of Default, provided, however, that if the cure of the
non-monetary Event of Default requires more than thirty (30) days, Mortgagee
shall extend the cure period to forty-five (45) days so long as Mortgagor has
commenced the cure within the thirty (30) day period, and is diligently pursuing
the same.
 
 h.           Required Consent of
Mortgagee Prior to Election of Remedies.  Should an Event of
Default continue beyond any and all applicable notice, grace and cure periods as
detailed above, Mortgagor shall not proceed with any remedies detailed in this
section or otherwise available at law or in equity without first obtaining
written consent from the Required Mortgagees.  Upon receipt of written
consent for the Required Mortgagees, Mortgagee may pursue any and all rights
detailed herein or otherwise available at law or in equity.
 
 15.           Application of
Proceeds.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of and any other amounts generated
by the holding, leasing, operating or other use of the Mortgaged Property shall
be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed), to the extent
that funds are so available therefrom, in accordance with the provisions of the
Note Purchase Agreement or, if not so provided, then in the following order of
priority, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable
law:
  (a)  first, to
the payment of the reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of taking
possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,
improving the same, including reasonable (i) receivers’ fees,
(ii) court costs, (iii) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees,
(iv) costs of advertisement and title search fees, and (v) the payment
of any and all Impositions, liens, security interests or other rights, titles or
interests equal or superior to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage
(except those to which the Mortgaged Property has been sold subject to and
without in any way implying Mortgagee’s prior consent to the creation
thereof);
  (b)  second,
to the payment of all amounts other than the Principal Balance and accrued but
unpaid interest which may be due to Mortgagee hereunder, under the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, together with interest thereon
as provided herein;
   -8-
  
 (c)  third, to
the payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as Mortgagee determines
in its sole discretion; and
  (d)  fourth,
to Mortgagor or as otherwise required by any governmental
requirement.
  Mortgagor
shall be liable for any deficiency remaining.
 
 16.           Remedies
Cumulative.  The parties agree and acknowledge that the
Mortgagee shall not be permitted to exercise any remedies under this Mortgage
until such time as it obtains consent from the Required Mortgagees as detailed
above.  No remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy herein conferred or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute.
 
 17.           Delay Not a
Waiver.  No delay or omission of Mortgagee in exercising any
right or remedy arising upon the happening of any Event of Default shall impair
any right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein; and every right and remedy given by this
Mortgage to Mortgagee may be exercised upon consent from the Required Mortgagees
as detailed above from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
Required Mortgagees.
 
 18.           Headings.  The
