and interest on the Note and all other Indebtedness, as and when the same shall become due, and shall duly and punctually perform and observe all of the covenants, agreements and provisions contained herein, in the Note and in any other instrument
given as security for the payment of the Note. 
 1.2 Maintenance and Repairs. Mortgagor shall not abandon the Mortgaged Property,
shall keep and maintain the Mortgaged Property in good condition, repair and operating condition, normal wear and tear excluded, free from any waste or misuse, and shall promptly repair or restore any buildings, improvements or structures now or

improvements without suitable replacement thereof, and shall complete within a reasonable time any buildings now or at any time in the process of remodeling on the Mortgaged Property; provided nothing herein shall preclude Mortgagor from
constructing improvements necessary or desirable to the use of the Mortgaged Property for Mortgagor’s business purposes which are non-structural in nature and which do not constitute material alterations to the Mortgaged Property or affect the
nature of use, structure or utility of the Mortgaged Property or decrease the market value of the Mortgaged Property. 
 1.3 Compliance
with Laws. The Mortgaged Property complies, and Mortgagor shall comply, with all requirements of laws, including requirements of any Federal, State, County, City or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over Mortgagor or the Mortgaged

intended purposes.

 5 








 
Imposition. Mortgagor shall pay the Imposition whether or not the Imposition is imposed upon Mortgagee or on the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property; provided that if for any reason
payment by 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 whole sum secured by this Mortgage
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 Mortgagor shall
concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and non-usurious portion or balance of said Imposition. 
 1.6 Contest of Impositions,
Liens and Levies. Mortgagor shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or any Lien so long as Mortgagor shall in good faith contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to
prevent the collection of the Lien or Imposition so contested and the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to satisfy the same, provided that Mortgagor shall, prior to the date such Lien or Imposition is due and payable, have given
such reasonable security as may be demanded by Mortgagee to insure such payments plus interest or penalties thereon, and prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property by reason of such nonpayment. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with
due diligence and Mortgagor shall promptly after final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Lien or Imposition so determined, together with all interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding these
provisions Mortgagor shall (and if Mortgagor shall fail so to do, Mortgagee, may but shall not be required to) pay any such Lien or Imposition notwithstanding such contest if in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee, the Mortgaged Property shall be in
jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. 
 1.7 Protection of Security. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of
and appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding that affects the Mortgaged Property or the rights or interest of Mortgagee hereunder and Mortgagee may elect to appear in or defend any such action or proceeding. Mortgagor agrees to indemnify
and reimburse 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 shall become additional “Indebtedness” and shall become immediately due and payable. 

1.8 Additional Assurances. Mortgagor agrees, upon reasonable request by Mortgagee, to execute and deliver such further instruments,
deeds and assurances, and will do such further acts as may be necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage, and without limiting the foregoing, to make subject to the lien hereof any property agreed to be subjected

subsection 2.2.2 prior to such next due payment, all as determined by Lender; and 
 2.2.2 Thereafter an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the estimated annual Charges due on the Mortgaged Property. 
 Mortgagee will, upon the presentation to Mortgagee by Mortgagor of the bills
therefor, pay the Charges from such deposits or will upon presentation of receipted bills therefor, reimburse Mortgagor for such payments made by Mortgagor. In the event the deposits on hand shall not be sufficient to pay all of the estimated
Charges when the same shall become due from time to time, or the prior deposits shall be less than the currently estimated monthly amounts, then Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. The excess of
any such deposits shall be credited to subsequent payments to be made for such items. If a default or an Event of Default shall occur under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, at its option, without being required so to do, apply any deposits
on hand to the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid any remaining deposits shall be returned to Mortgagor as its interest may appear. All deposits are hereby pledged as additional

servicing agent may rely on any statement, bill or estimate procured from or issued by the payee without inquiry into the validity or accuracy of the same. If the taxes shown in the tax statement shall be levied on property more extensive than the
Mortgaged Property, then the amounts in escrow shall be based on the entire tax bill and Mortgagor shall have no right to require an apportionment and Mortgagee or its servicing agent may pay the entire tax bill notwithstanding that such taxes
pertain in part to other property and Mortgagee shall be under no duty to seek a tax division or apportionment of the tax bill. 

Section 3. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. 

3.1 Security Agreement. This Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from
time to time (“UCC”) for that portion of the Mortgaged Property described in the granting clause of this Mortgage that is subject to a security interest under applicable law (“Collateral”) and Mortgagor hereby
grants to Mortgagee a security interest in the Collateral to secure the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of Mortgagor’s obligation under the Loan. All terms in this Mortgage that are defined in the UCC shall have the meaning set
forth in the UCC, and such meanings shall automatically change at the time that any amendment to the UCC, which changes such meanings, shall become effective. Neither the grant of a security interest pursuant to this Mortgage nor the


  
 9 








 
filing of a financing statement pursuant to the UCC shall ever impair the stated intention of this Mortgage that all Collateral comprising the Mortgaged Property shall be regarded as part of the
Mortgaged Property irrespective of whether such Collateral is physically attached to the Land or referred to or reflected in a financing statement. 

3.2 Use of Collateral. Any Collateral installed in or used at the Mortgaged Property are to be used by Mortgagor solely for
Mortgagor’s business purposes and such Collateral will be kept at the buildings on the Mortgaged Property and will not be removed therefrom without the consent of Mortgagee, except that, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor
may sell or lease any Collateral constituting inventory in the ordinary course of business at prices constituting the fair market value. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, in any instance where Mortgagor in its sound discretion determines
that any Collateral has become inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor may, at its expense, remove and dispose of it and substitute and install other items not
necessarily having the same function, 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. 
 3.3 Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the rights available to a mortgagee of real
property, Mortgagee shall also have all the rights, remedies and recourse available to a secured party under the UCC, including the right to proceed under the provisions of the UCC governing default as to any Collateral or to proceed as to such
Collateral in accordance with the procedures and remedies available pursuant to a foreclosure of real estate. Mortgagor further understands that Mortgagee may take possession of the Collateral under the UCC and dispose of the same by sale or
otherwise. If notice to any party of the intended disposition of the Collateral is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) days prior to such intended disposition
and may be given by advertisement in a newspaper accepted for legal publications either separately or as part of a notice given to foreclose the real property or may be given by private notice if such parties are known to Mortgagee. 

3.4 Financing Statement. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file all of Mortgagor’s financing statements, and all terminations of
the filings of other secured parties, all with respect to the Collateral, in such form and substance as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary to perfect and continue the priority of Mortgagee’s security interest in
the Collateral and shall pay all expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the renewal or extensions of any financing statements executed in connection with the Mortgaged Property; and shall give advance written notice of any proposed change
in Mortgagor’s name, address, identity or structure; and shall not change its state of organization without Mortgagee’s prior written consent and authorizes Mortgagee to execute prior to or concurrently with such change all additional
financing statements that Mortgagee may require to establish and perfect the priority of Mortgagee’s security interest.

acceptable to Mortgagee and pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee. In any case where Mortgagee may elect to apply the proceeds to repair or restoration or permit Mortgagor to so apply the proceeds they shall be held by Mortgagee
for such purposes and will from time to time be disbursed by Mortgagee to defray the costs of such restoration or repair under such safeguards and controls as Mortgagee may establish to assure completion in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications and free of liens or claims. Mortgagor shall on demand deposit with Mortgagee any sums necessary to make up any deficits between the actual cost of the work and the proceeds and provide such lien waivers and completion bonds as
Mortgagee may reasonably require. Any surplus which may remain after payment of all costs of restoration or repair may at the option of Mortgagee be

applied on account of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid, whether due or not, without application of any prepayment premium or shall be returned to Mortgagor as its interest may
appear, the choice of application to be solely at the discretion of Mortgagee. 
 Section 5. Rights of Mortgagee. 

5.1 Right to Cure Default. If Mortgagor shall fail to comply with any of the covenants or obligations of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may,
but shall not be obligated to, without further notice to Mortgagor, and without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation in this Mortgage contained, remedy such failure, and Mortgagor agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by
Mortgagee in remedying any such failure together with interest at the then rate in effect on the Note. All such sums, together with interest as aforesaid shall become so much additional Indebtedness, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve
Mortgagor from any failure hereunder. 
 5.2 No Claim Against Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any
consent or request by 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 Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Mortgagor or any party
in interest with 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 Mortgagee
in respect thereof or would permit the making of any claim that any lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the lien of this Mortgage. 

5.3 Inspection. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee’s authorized representatives to enter the Mortgaged Property at reasonable times
for the purpose of inspecting the same; provided Mortgagee shall have no duty to make such inspections and shall not incur any liability or obligation for making or not making any such inspections. 

5.4 Waivers; Releases; Resort to Other Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any party liable for payment of any
Indebtedness or performance of any obligation contained herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at any time, and without notice to or the consent of
Mortgagor or any party in interest with the Mortgaged Property or the Note: 
 5.4.1 release any person liable for payment of all or any part
of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation herein; 
 5.4.2 make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the
terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof; 

5.4.3 accept any additional security; 

  
 13 








 5.4.4 release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, including any or all of the
Mortgaged Property, including making partial releases of the Mortgaged Property; or 
 5.4.5 resort to any security agreements, pledges,
contracts of guarantee, assignments of rents and leases or other securities, and exhaust any one or more of said securities and the security hereunder, either concurrently or independently and in such order as it may determine. 

5.5 Waiver of Appraisement, Homestead, Marshaling. Mortgagor waives to the full extent lawfully allowed the benefit of any homestead,
appraisement, evaluation, stay and extension laws now or hereinafter in force. Mortgagor waives any rights available with respect to marshaling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or as to require
Mortgagee to exhaust its remedies against a specific portion of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against the other and does hereby expressly consent to and authorize the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a single unit or
parcel or as separate parcels. 
 Section 6. Events of Default and Remedies. 

6.1 Events of Default. It shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Mortgage upon the happening of
any of the events defined in the Loan Agreement. 
 6.2 Mortgagee’s Right to Accelerate. If an Event of Default shall occur,
Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note together with all other Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and thereupon all such unpaid principal balance of the Note together with all accrued interest thereon at
the Interest Rate and all other Indebtedness shall be and become immediately due and payable. Any such payment shall be subject to the requirements, if any, in the Note providing for the payment of a prepayment premium. 

6.3 Right to Foreclose. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee may, either with or without entry or taking possession, proceed
by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceedings or remedy to enforce payment of the Indebtedness or the performance of any other term hereof or any other right and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and fully empowers Mortgagee
to foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceedings or by advertisement with power of sale and grants to Mortgagee full authority to sell the Mortgaged Property at public auction and convey title to the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser, either in
one parcel or separate lots and parcels, all in accordance with and in the manner prescribed by law, and out of the proceeds arising from sale and foreclosure to retain the principal and interest due on the Note and the Indebtedness together with
all such sums of money as Mortgagee shall have expended or advanced pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to statute together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and all costs and expenses of such foreclosure, including lawful reasonable
attorney’s fees, with the balance, if any, to be paid to the persons entitled thereto by law. In any such proceeding Mortgagee may apply all or any portion of the Indebtedness to the amount of the purchase price. 

  
 14 








 6.4 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter
of right without notice and without giving bond and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor, or waste of the Mortgaged Property or adequacy of the security of the Mortgaged Property, to apply for the appointment of a receiver
(a) under Minnesota Statutes § 576.01 or any successor or supplementary statute who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute and who shall apply the rents, income and profits as provided by statute
and thereafter to all expenses for maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and to the repayment of the Indebtedness or (b) under Minnesota Statutes
§ 559.17 or any successor or supplementary statute who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute and who shall apply the rents, income and profits as provided by statute and thereafter to all expenses for
maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and to the repayment of the Indebtedness or (c) pursuant to the assignment of rents and leases executed by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee given contemporaneously with this Mortgage who shall in addition to the rights, powers and remedies as provided by statute have such rights, powers and remedies as provided in such assignment of rents and leases and who shall
apply the rents, income and profits as provided therein. 
 6.5 Waiver of Appraisement, Homestead, Redemption. Mortgagor hereby
covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any advantage of, any stay, exemption or extension law or any so called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time subsequently in force,
nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit of advantage of or from any law now or subsequently in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or pursuant to decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; or after such sale or sales claim or exercise any rights under any statute now or subsequently in force to redeem the
property so sold, or any part thereof, or relating to the marshaling thereof, upon foreclosure sale or other enforcement hereof. Mortgagor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption from sale pursuant to any order or decree of foreclosure
of this Mortgage on its own behalf. 
 6.6 Due on Sale or Mortgaging, Etc. In the event of a Transfer without the written consent of
Mortgagee being first obtained, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, then at the sole option of Mortgagee, Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance together with accrued interest, due and payable in full and
call for payment of the same in full at once. Any such payment shall be subject to the requirements, if any, in the Note providing for the payment of a prepayment premium in the event of a non-permitted Transfer. A consent by Mortgagee as to any one
Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to a future Transfer. As used herein, the term “Transfer” shall mean any sale, grant, pledge, assignment, mortgage, encumbrance, security interest,
consensual lien, hypothecation, lease (excluding residential leases and any other bona fide third party leases for actual occupancy by a tenant), transfer or divesture of an interest in (a) the Mortgaged Property, or (b) all or any
substantial part of the assets of the Mortgagor except for assets sold in the ordinary course of Mortgagor’s business, or (c) any ownership interest in the Mortgagor, or (d) any entity controlling, managing or in control of the
Mortgagor. Any change in the legal or equitable title of the Mortgaged Property or in the beneficial ownership of the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagor whether or not of record and whether or not for consideration shall be deemed a Transfer. 

  
 15 








 6.7 Rights Cumulative. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is
cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to 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 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 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 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 Note. 
 6.8 Right to Discontinue Proceedings. In the event 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, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and in such event Mortgagor and
Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness. This Mortgage, the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property and all rights, remedies and recourse of Mortgagee shall continue as if the same had not been
invoked. 
 6.9 Acknowledgment of Waiver of Hearing Before Sale. Mortgagor understands and agrees that if any Event of Default is
made under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee has the right, inter alia, to foreclose this Mortgage by advertisement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 580, as subsequently amended, or pursuant to any similar or replacement statute
subsequently enacted; that if Mortgagee elects to foreclose by advertisement, it may cause the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to be sold at public auction; that notice of such sale must be published for six (6) successive weeks at
least once a week in a newspaper of general circulation and that no personal notice is required to be served upon Mortgagor. Mortgagor further understands 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 to Mortgagor and neither said
procedure for foreclosure by advertisement nor the Uniform Commercial Code requires any hearing or other judicial proceeding. MORTGAGOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY MAY BE FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL; THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT AND THIS PARAGRAPH THAT MORTGAGOR’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WERE FULLY EXPLAINED BY SUCH COUNSEL AND THAT MORTGAGOR UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE
AND EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREBY AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH WAIVER. 

  
 16 








 Section 7. Miscellaneous. 

7.1 Choice of Law. Notwithstanding the place of execution of this instrument, the parties to this instrument have contracted for
Minnesota law to govern this instrument and it is agreed that this instrument is made pursuant to and shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. 

7.2 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage and each and every covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon
Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, each and every from time to time record owner of the Mortgaged Property or any other person having an interest therein, shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit
of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. As used herein the words “successors and assigns” shall also be deemed to include the heirs, representatives, administrators and executors of any natural person who is or becomes a party
to this Mortgage. In the event that the ownership of the Mortgaged Property becomes vested in a person or persons other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall not have any obligation to deal with such successor or successors in interest unless such
transfer is permitted by this Mortgage and then only upon being notified in writing of such change of ownership. Upon such notification, Mortgagee may thereafter deal with such successor in place of Mortgagor without any obligation to thereafter
deal with Mortgagor and without waiving any liability of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note. No change of ownership shall in any way operate to release or discharge the liability of Mortgagor hereunder unless such release or discharge is
expressly agreed to in writing by Mortgagee. 
 7.3 Unenforceability of Certain Clauses. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provisions hereof shall not render any other provision or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid. 
 7.4 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. 

7.5 Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Mortgagor, and Mortgagee at all times to comply with
applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Mortgagee to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this section shall control every
other covenant and agreement in the Note, this Mortgage and other Loan Documents. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note, this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan
Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or if Mortgagee’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, or if any prepayment by Mortgagor
results in Mortgagor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Mortgagor’s and Mortgagee’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Mortgagee shall be credited on the
principal balance of the Note and all other Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Mortgagor), and the provisions of the Note and this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, 

  
 17 








 
so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for
the use, forbearance, or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or
amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as the Indebtedness is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Mortgagee to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration. 
 7.6 Notices. Any notices and other communications permitted or required by the provisions of this Mortgage (except
for telephonic notices expressly permitted) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by depositing the same with the United States Postal Service, or any official successor thereto, designated as Certified Mail,
Return Receipt Requested, bearing adequate postage, or deposited with reputable private courier or overnight delivery service, and addressed as hereinafter provided. Each such notice shall be effective upon being deposited as aforesaid. The time
period within which a response to any such notice must be given, however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt of the notice by the addressee thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed
address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least ten (10) days’ notice thereof, either party hereto shall have the right from time to time to change its
address and shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America. 
 Each notice to
Mortgagee shall be addressed as follows: 
 Venture Bank 

2640 Eagan Woods Drive 
 Eagan, MN
55121 
 Attn: Bryan Frandrup 

Phone No:       (651) 289-2222 

Fax No.:          (651) 289-0200 

Each notice to Mortgagor shall be addressed as follows: 

Minwood Partners, Inc. and 

Famous Dave’s of America, Inc. 

12701 Whitewater Drive, Suite 200 

Minnetonka, MN 55343 
 Attn: Chief
Executive Officer 
 7.7 Consent to Jurisdiction. Mortgagor submit(s) and consent(s) to personal jurisdiction of the Courts of the
State of Minnesota in the County where the Mortgaged Property is located and the Courts of the United States of America sitting in such State for the enforcement of this instrument and waive(s) any and all personal rights under the laws of any state
or the United States of America to object to jurisdiction in the State of Minnesota. 

  
 18 








 
Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of consent to jurisdiction or of the submission made by Mortgagor to personal jurisdiction within
the State of Minnesota. 
 7.8 Adjustable Rate Note. The Note secured by this Mortgage provides for adjustments in its interest rate
from time to time in accordance with its terms. Reference is made to the Note for the time, terms and conditions of the adjustments in the interest rate. Such times, terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference. 

7.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. MORTGAGOR WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH MORTGAGOR IS INVOLVED DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY AND ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS MORTGAGE OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER, AND WHETHER ARISING OR ASSERTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE DATE OF THIS MORTGAGE. 

7.10 Right of Setoff. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee reserves a right of setoff in all Mortgagor’s accounts
with Mortgagee (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Mortgagor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Mortgagor may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or
any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at
Mortgagee’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph. 

7.11 Cross Collateralization. In addition to the Loan, this Mortgage secures all obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest
thereon, of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Mortgagee against Mortgagor or any one or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note,
whether voluntary or otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether Mortgagor may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as
guarantor, surety, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become
otherwise unenforceable. 
 7.12 Partial Release of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee agrees to release from the lien of the Mortgage and
the other Loan Documents, as applicable, portions of the Mortgaged Property upon the closing of the sale thereof or by request of the Mortgagor (hereinafter referred to as a “Release Parcel”), upon satisfaction by Mortgagor of the
following terms and conditions: 
 7.12.1 Mortgagee approves such release in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; 

7.12.2 Mortgagor shall have made such request at least ten (10) business days prior to the requested release date; 

  
 19 








 7.12.3 On the requested release date, and on the actual release date, no Default or Event of
Default shall exist under the Mortgage and Loan Documents; 
 7.12.4 A Release Parcel must be released as a whole and not in part; and 

7.12.5 Upon any such release of a Release Parcel, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee in immediately available funds an amount (hereinafter referred
to as a “Release Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of the Release Parcel as determined by a new appraisal completed at the time of requested release by an appraiser acceptable to the Mortgagee and
agreed to by the Mortgagor; or (ii) the value for the Release Parcel shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Release Amount for the release of each Release Parcel shall be applied first to the principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses due
to Lender under any loan that has priority, whether then due and payable or not, and if the priority loan is paid in full, then to the principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses due to Lender under Loan, whether then due and payable or not, and
will not be subject to any pre-payment penalty. The cost of the appraisal for the Release Parcel will be paid by the Borrower.
