The Loans may be evidenced, in whole or in part, by one or more notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $42,000,000 (said notes, together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, and full or partial restatements and replacements thereof, being hereinafter referred to as the "Notes").  The final maturity date of the Loans is March 31, 2022.  The terms and provisions of the Notes and the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in this Mortgage.

		domain, of other property, or (iii) the alteration of the grade of any street or highway on or about the Mortgaged Property.

			1.8.    Care of the Mortgaged Property.  Subject to Section 1.6.4 above, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall preserve and maintain the Mortgaged Property in good condition.

			-5-

		




 


		

			Exhibit 10.2

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		




		without any further action on the part of either party, and, specifically, Lender shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to all Rents from the Mortgaged Property, whether or not Lender takes possession of the Mortgaged Property.  Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Secured Liabilities are paid in full and all obligations of Lender under the Loan Agreement have been terminated, the execution of this Mortgage constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure proceedings have been instituted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagor shall have the right and authority to continue to collect the Rents from the Mortgaged Property as they become due and payable.
		

		
			1.12.    After-Acquired Property.  To the extent permitted by, and subject to, applicable law, the lien of this Mortgage shall automatically attach, without further act, to all property hereafter acquired by Mortgagor located in or on, or attached to, or used or intended to be used in connection with, or with the operation of, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
		

		
			1.13.    Leases Affecting Mortgaged Property.  Mortgagor shall comply with and perform in a complete and timely manner all of its obligations as landlord under all Leases affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.  The assignment contained in Sections (E) and (F) of the Granting Clauses shall not be deemed to impose upon Lender any of the obligations or duties of the landlord provided in any Lease.
		

		
			1.14.    Execution of Leases.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall not permit any Leases to be made of the Mortgaged Property, or to be modified, terminated, extended or renewed, without the prior written consent of Lender.
		

		
			1.15.    Expenses.  Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay when due and payable, all appraisal fees, recording fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, abstract fees, title insurance fees, escrow fees, attorneys' fees, court costs, documentary and expert evidence, fees of inspecting architects and engineers, and all other costs and expenses of every character which have been incurred or which may hereafter be incurred by Lender in connection with this Mortgage or the administration and enforcement of any term or provision of this Mortgage.  In the event of foreclosure hereof, Lender shall be entitled to add to the indebtedness found to be due by the court a reasonable estimate of such expenses to be incurred after entry of the decree of foreclosure.
		

		
			1.16.    Indemnity. Reference is hereby made to the indemnity provisions  of the Loan Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference.  
		

		
			1.17.    Lender's Performance of Mortgagor's Liabilities.  If Mortgagor fails to pay any tax, assessment, encumbrance or other imposition, or to furnish insurance hereunder, or to perform any other covenant, condition or term in this Mortgage, Lender may, but shall not be

			Exhibit 10.2

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		




		obligated to, pay, obtain or perform the same. All payments made, whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments, and costs and expenses incurred or paid by Lender in connection therewith shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of written demand.  The amounts so incurred or paid by Lender shall bear interest at the Default Rate, if not paid within three (3) Business Days of demand, and such amounts, together with interest, shall be added to the Secured Liabilities and secured by the lien of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any covenant, condition or term that Mortgagor has failed to perform or observe, without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under Mortgagor. Performance or payment by Lender of any obligation of Mortgagor shall not relieve Mortgagor of such obligation or of the consequences of having failed to perform or pay the same and shall not effect the cure of any Event of Default.
		

		
			1.18.    Payment of Superior Liens.  To the extent that Lender, after the date hereof, pays any sum due under any provision of law or instrument or document creating any lien superior or equal in priority in whole or in part to the lien of this Mortgage, Lender shall have and be entitled to a lien on the Mortgaged Property equal in parity with that discharged, and Lender shall be subrogated to and receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by the holder of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit Lender to secure all Secured Liabilities.  Lender shall be subrogated, notwithstanding its release of record, to mortgages, trust deeds, superior titles, vendors' liens, mechanics' and materialmen's liens, charges, encumbrances, rights and equities on the Mortgaged Property to the extent that any obligation under any thereof is paid or discharged with proceeds of disbursements or advances under the Notes or other indebtedness secured hereby.  
		

		
			1.19.    Use of the Mortgaged Property.  Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the Mortgaged Property, or any material portion thereof, to be used for any purpose other than for the purposes for which it is currently being used and, without limitation of the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof for any unlawful purpose.
		

		
			ARTICLE TWO
		

		
			DEFAULTS
		

		
			2.1.    Event of Default.  The term "Event of Default," wherever used in this Mortgage, shall mean the occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement.  Additionally, any failure of Mortgagor to keep and perform any obligation, covenant or agreement under this Mortgage and the breach of any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in this Mortgage, shall also constitute Events of Default under this Mortgage and under the Loan Agreement.

			3.2.    Lender's Power of Enforcement.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, either with or without entry or taking possession as provided in this Mortgage or otherwise, and without regard to whether or not the Secured Liabilities shall have been accelerated, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure or any other action for any Event of Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced or arising thereafter, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding:
		

		
			(a)    to enforce full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Liabilities or the performance of any term hereof or any of the other Loan Documents;
		

		
			(b)    to foreclose this Mortgage and to have sold, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property; and

			(b)    If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after Lender's demand, Lender may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Lender the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of the Mortgaged Property to Lender, to the entry of which judgment or decree Mortgagor hereby specifically consents.  Mortgagor shall pay to Lender, upon demand, all costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or

		decree and reasonable compensation to Lender, its attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Mortgage.
		

		
			(c)    Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof.

			3.4.    Receiver – Mortgagee in Possession.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property or the adequacy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right and without any additional showing or proof, at Lender's election, to either the appointment by the court of a receiver (without the necessity of Lender posting a bond) to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all Rents and apply the same as the court may direct or to be placed by the court into possession of the Mortgaged Property as mortgagee in possession with the same power herein granted to a receiver and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee in possession under law.  The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property, and to collect all Rents, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof.  Lender shall be liable to account only for such Rents actually received by Lender.  Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Lender shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to Lender.  Any such receiver shall have all of the rights and powers described in Section 15‐1704 of the Act.

			3.7.    Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds.  The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof received by Lender shall be applied by Lender to the indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as prescribed by the Loan Agreement.

			3.9.    Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws.  Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption.  Mortgagor further agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of an Event of Default, neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under Mortgagor will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any reinstatement, appraisement, valuation, stay or extension laws now or hereafter in force, or take any other action which would prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser thereat.  Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Lender or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Mortgaged Property in part or as an entirety.

			3.10.    Mortgagor to Pay the Secured Liabilities in Event of Default; Application of Monies by Lender.
		

		
			(a)    Upon an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against Mortgagor for the Secured Liabilities due and unpaid together with costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of Lender's agents, attorneys and other representatives, either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage; and the right of Lender to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking of possession or foreclosure sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof.
		

		
			(b)    In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the Secured Liabilities, Lender shall be entitled to enforce all other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.
		

		
			(c)    Mortgagor hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any judgment by Lender under any of the Loan Documents, and no attachment or levy of

		execution upon any of the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Mortgagor, shall (except as otherwise provided by law) in any way affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before until the Secured Liabilities are paid in full.
		

		
			(d)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by Lender to the extent reimbursable under Sections 15‐1510 and 15‐1512 of the Act, whether incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether enumerated in this Mortgage, shall be included in the Secured Liabilities or added to the judgment of foreclosure.
		

		
			3.11.    Protective Advances.

			4.3.    Headings.  The headings of the articles, sections, paragraphs and subdivisions of this Mortgage are for convenience only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall not limit, expand or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
		

		
			4.4.    Invalid Provisions.  In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in this Mortgage shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein (or the application of the covenant, agreement, term held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, to persons or circumstances other than those in respect of which it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
		

		
			4.5.    Changes.  Neither this Mortgage nor any term hereof may be released, changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, or by any action or inaction, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the release, change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.  To the extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made by Mortgagor and Lender relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.  Any holder of a lien or encumbrance junior to the lien of this Mortgage shall take its lien subject to the right of Lender to amend, modify or supplement this Mortgage, the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to extend the maturity of the Secured Liabilities or any portion thereof, to vary the rate of interest chargeable under the Notes and/or the Loan Agreement and to increase the amount of the

		indebtedness secured hereby, in each and every case without obtaining the consent of the holder of such junior lien and without the lien of this Mortgage losing its priority over the rights of any such junior lien.
		

		
			4.6.    Governing Law.  The validity and interpretation of this Mortgage shall be governed by and in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.
		

		
			4.7.    Limitation of Interest.  The provisions of the Loan Agreement regarding the payment of lawful interest are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
		

		
			4.8.    Future Advances.  This Mortgage is given to secure not only existing indebtedness, but also future advances (whether such advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Lender, or otherwise) made by Lender under the Notes or the Loan Agreement, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage.  The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the principal amount of all indebtedness secured hereby shall, in no event, exceed $84,000,000, exclusive of interest thereon, and other costs, amounts and disbursements as provided herein and in the other Loan Documents.
		

		
			4.9.    Last Dollar.  The lien of this Mortgage shall remain in effect until the last dollar of the Secured Liabilities is paid in full and all obligations of Lender under the Loan Agreement have been terminated.

			4.11.    Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to this Mortgage and all the provisions hereof.
		

		
			4.12.    Loan Agreement.
