($1,000,000) in the aggregate;

                  (d)      If the Premises are in an area designated by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs as an area having special flood or mud
slide hazards, flood insurance: in an amount equal to the full replacement cost
of the Improvements and any and all personal property used or to be used in
connection therewith; and

                  (e)      Such other insurance, and in such amounts, as may
from time to time be reasonably required by Mortgagee against the same or other
hazards and risks insured against. by the operators of like properties in the
locality of the Property.

         All policies of insurance (other than liability policies) required by
the terms of this Mortgage shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the
insurer that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such
policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor which might otherwise
result in forfeiture of said insurance and shall have attached thereto a
lender's loss payable endorsement for the benefit of Mortgagee, not subject to
contribution, in form satisfactory to mortgagee, and shall contain the further
agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of set off, counterclaim or
deductions against Mortgagee.

         1.05     Delivery of Policies; Payment of Premiums.  All policies of
insurance required by the terms of this Mortgage shall be issued by companies
and in amounts satisfactory to Mortgagee.

         (a)      Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with a signed duplicate
original policy with respect to all required insurance coverage. If Mortgagee
shall in its discretion consent to Mortgagor providing any of the required
insurance through blanket policies carried by Mortgagor and covering more than
one location, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with a certificate of insurance
for each such policy setting forth the coverage, the limits of liability, the
name of the carrier, the policy number and the expiration date. At least thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, Mortgagor shall furnish
Mortgagee with evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of the payment of premium and

Mortgage. All policies required to be maintained pursuant to this Mortgage shall
be in form satisfactory to Mortgagee; shall be maintained in full force and
effect; shall be assigned and delivered to Mortgagee, with premiums prepaid, as

amended, which term shall include any reduction in the scope or limits of
coverage, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee.

<PAGE>   11
                  (b)      In the event Mortgagor shall at: any time fail to
provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Mortgagee the
policies of insurance required by this Section 1.05, Mortgagee may procure such
insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Mortgagee's
interest, and Mortgagor will pay or reimburse the cost of all premiums thereon
promptly upon demand by Mortgagee, and until such payment is made the amount of
all such premiums together with interest thereon at the Default Rate shall be
secured by this Mortgage.

         (c)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in
Article V hereof), or an occurrence which, with the passage of time, the giving
of notice or both would become an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall, at
Mortgagee's request, deposit with Mortgagee, in monthly installments, an amount
equal to one-twelfth of the estimated aggregate annual insurance premiums on all
policies of insurance required by this Mortgage. Mortgagor further agrees, upon
Mortgagee's request, to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating
to the foregoing insurance premiums to be sent or mailed directly to Mortgagee.
Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents, and providing
Mortgagor has deposited sufficient funds with Mortgagee pursuant to this Section
1.05, Mortgagee shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds
so deposited with Mortgagee. If at any time and for any reason the funds
deposited with Mortgagee are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may
then or subsequently be due, Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor and Mortgagor
shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Mortgagee to
be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in
excess of the amount of funds deposited with Mortgagee pursuant to this Section
1.05. Mortgagee may commingle said deposits with its own funds and Mortgagor
shall be entitled to no interest on said funds. After the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Mortgagee may impound or reserve for future payment of premiums such
portion of such payments as Mortgagee may in its absolute discretion deem
proper, applying the balance on the principal of or interest on the obligations
secured hereby. Should Mortgagor fail to deposit with Mortgagee (exclusive of
any portion of said payments which may have been applied by Mortgagee to the
payment of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness secured by the Loan
Documents) sums sufficient to fully pay such premiums at least thirty (30) days
before they may be due, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's election, but without any
obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency,
which advances, if any, shall be secured hereby and shall be repayable to
Mortgagee as herein elsewhere provided, or at its option Mortgagee may, without
making any advance whatsoever, apply any sums held by it upon any obligation of
the Mortgagor secured hereby. Should any default occur or exist in the payment
or performance of Mortgagor's and/or any guarantor's obligations under the terms
of the Loan Documents, Mortgagee may, at any time at Mortgagee's option, apply
any sums or amounts in its hands received pursuant hereto, or as rents or income
of the Premises or otherwise, to the payment or discharge of any indebtedness of
Mortgagor or obligation of Mortgagor secured hereby in such manner and order as
Mortgagee may elect. The receipt, use or application of any such sums paid by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder shall not be construed to affect the maturity
of any indebtedness secured by this Mortgage or any of the rights or powers of
Mortgagee under the terms of the Loan Documents or any of the obligations of
Mortgagor and/or any guarantor under this Mortgage.

         1.06     Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage to or
destruction of the Premises or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Mortgagee, and the following provisions shall apply:

                  (a)      If an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall
have occurred and be continuing hereunder, or if the estimated cost of
restoration exceeds $125,000, Mortgagee shall receive all insurance proceeds and
shall have the right to apply such proceeds, after deducting therefrom all costs
and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred
with or without suit), including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by it in
connection with the collection of such proceeds, to the payment of the principal
sum of the Note, all interest accrued thereon and all sums payable to Mortgagee
by Mortgagor under the Loan Documents, in which event the following provisions
shall apply:

                           (i)     All proceeds of insurance shall be payable
to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered by Mortgagor to
settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under
any policy or policies of insurance.

                           (ii)    Except to the extent that insurance proceeds
are received by Mortgagee and applied to the indebtedness secured hereby,
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Mortgagor from repairing or
maintaining the Premises as provided in Section 1.03 hereof or restoring all
damage or destruction to the Premises, regardless of whether or not there are
insurance proceeds available or whether any such proceeds are sufficient in
amount, and the application or release by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds
shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default under this
Mortgage or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

                  (b)      If an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be
continuing hereunder; or if the cost of restoration is less than $125,000; or if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or the cost
of restoration equals or exceeds $125,000, but Mortgagee shall not have elected
to avail itself of its rights under Section 1.06(a), the following provisions
shall apply:

                           (i)     Mortgagor shall have the right to adjust or
compromise any claim under any policy of insurance, but Mortgagee shall have the
right to monitor the settlement process and the consent of Mortgagee shall be
required for any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such claim.

                           (ii)    Mortgagee shall have the right to retain and
apply the proceeds of any rent insurance and/or business interruption insurance
on account of the payments of the regular monthly installments of principal and
interest as they fall due. If Mortgagee receives proceeds of rent insurance
and/or business interruption insurance beyond those required to be applied for
the current month, Mortgagee may retain such additional proceeds in escrow, for
the account of Mortgagor, and so apply such proceeds on a monthly basis;
provided that any proceeds of such insurance in excess of those reasonably
estimated by Mortgagee to be required to pay all monthly installments of
principal and interest during the estimated period of restoration and leaseup
shall be paid over to Mortgagor to meet the other expenses of the Premises.

                                       9
<PAGE>   13
                           (iii)   Provided that (a) Mortgagee is satisfied that
there are sufficient proceeds of hazard and rental interruption insurance to
complete restoration of the same value and character as existed prior to such
damage and to fulfill Mortgagor's obligations with respect to the indebtedness
secured hereby, and (b) the insurers do not deny liability as to the insureds,
Mortgagee will consent to the use of the net proceeds of any casualty insurance
for restoration of the Premises in accordance with the following conditions:

                                   (A)      prior to commencement of
restoration, the contracts, contractors, plans and specifications for the
restoration shall have been approved by Mortgagee;

                                   (B)      at the time of any disbursement
there shall not be an Event of Default hereunder, or an event which with the
passage of time or giving of notice, or both, could become an Event of Default;
no mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
undischarged, and a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance shall be delivered
to Mortgagee;

                                   (C)      disbursements shall be made from
time to time each in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed
since the previous disbursement, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence (from an
architect or engineer satisfactory to Mortgagee and retained by Mortgagor at
Mortgagor's expense to supervise the restoration) of the stage of completion and
of performance of the work in good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the
contracts, plans and specifications; and

                                   (D)      the restoration fund shall be
deposited in a restricted money market account with Mortgagee (the "Restoration
Account").

         If, prior to commencement of restoration, or at any time during the
restoration, the estimated cost of restoration, as determined by Mortgagee,
exceeds the net amount of insurance proceeds received, such difference shall be
paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee for deposit in the Restoration Account and
disbursed prior to the disbursement of insurance proceeds. Any sum so added by
Mortgagor which remains in the Restoration Account upon completion of
restoration shall be refunded to Mortgagor. All insurance proceeds, if any,
remaining after completion of repairs and restoration or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default hereunder shall be applied by Mortgagee to the then
outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness secured hereby.

         1.07     Assignment of Policies Upon Foreclosure. In the event of
foreclosure of this mortgage or other transfer of title or assignment of the
Premises in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the debt secured hereby, all
right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all policies of insurance
required by this Mortgage shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the
successor or successors in interest to Mortgagor or the purchaser or grantee of
the Premises.

         1.08     Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset.

                  (a)      If Mortgagee is made a party defendant to any
litigation concerning this Mortgage or the Premises or any part thereof or
therein, or the occupancy thereof

                                       10
<PAGE>   14
by Mortgagor or persons claiming through Mortgagor, then Mortgagor shall
indemnify, defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from all liability arising by
reason of such litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred by Mortgagee in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation
is prosecuted to judgment. If Mortgagee commences an action against Mortgagor to
enforce any of the terms hereof or because of the breach by Mortgagor of any of
the terms hereof, or for the recovery of any sum secured :hereby, Mortgagor
shall pay to Mortgagee reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and the right to
such attorneys' fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the
commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action
is prosecuted to judgment. If Mortgagor shall breach any term of this Mortgage,
Mortgagee may employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder,
and in the event of such employment following any breach by Mortgagor, Mortgagor
shall pay to Mortgagee the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
Mortgagee, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Mortgagor by
reason of such breach.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor's obligation to Indemnify Mortgagee
shall not extend to any liability incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee to
the extent arising from Mortgagee's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (b)      Mortgagor waives any and all right to claim or
recover against Mortgagee, its officers, employees, agents and representatives,
for loss of or damage to Mortgagor, the Premises, property of Mortgagor or the
property of others under the control of Mortgagor from any cause insured against
or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Mortgage.

                  (c)      Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Note
or this Mortgage, all sums payable by Mortgagor hereunder shall be payable
without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without
abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations
and liabilities of Mortgagor hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged
or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of: (i)
any damage to or destruction of or any condemnation or similar taking of the
Premises or any part thereof; (ii) any restriction or prevention of or
interference with any use of the Premises or any part thereof; (iii) any title
defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Property or the Improvements or

                                       11
<PAGE>   15

                  (a)      Mortgagor agrees to pay, at least ten (10) days prior
to the accrual of any interest or penalty thereon, all real property taxes and
assessments, general and special, and all other taxes arid assessments of any
kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, nongovernmental levies
or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges or
fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Premises, charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the
benefit of the Premises, which are assessed or imposed upon any of the Premises,
or against Mortgagor or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession
thereof, or become due and payable in respect thereof, or upon any Personal
Property, equipment or other facilities used in the operation or management
thereof (all of which taxes, assessments and other governmental charges of a
like or different nature are hereinafter referred to as "Impositions");
provided, however, that if any such Imposition lawfully may be paid in
installments, Mortgagor may pay such Imposition together with any accrued
interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as they
become due , and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto
for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest.

                  (b)      If under the provisions of any law or ordinance now
or hereafter in effect there shall be assessed or . imposed (i) a tax or
assessment on the Premises in lieu of or in addition to the Impositions payable
by Mortgagor pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof, or (ii) a license fee, tax or
assessment on Mortgagee measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount
of the outstanding obligations secured hereby, then all such taxes, assessments
or fees shall be deemed to be included within the term "Impositions" as defined
in subparagraph (a) hereof, and Mortgagor shall pay and discharge the same as
herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions and if such
Impositions are not paid by Mortgagor, then at the option of Mortgagee, all
obligations secured hereby together with all accrued interest thereon, shall
immediately become due and payable. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, Mortgagor shall have no obligation to pay any franchise,
estate, inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Mortgagee
or on the obligations secured hereby.

                  (c)      Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section 1.09, Mortgagor covenants to furnish Mortgagee within thirty (30) days
after the date upon which any such Imposition is due and payable by Mortgagor,
official receipts of the appropriate taxing or other authority, or other proof
satisfactory to Mortgagee, evidencing the payments thereof.

                  (d)      Mortgagor shall have the right, before any
delinquency occurs, to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such
Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or
construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending the covenants of
Mortgagor to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in
this Section 1.09, unless Mortgagor shall have given prior written notice to
Mortgagee of intent to so contest or object to an Imposition, and unless, at
Mortgagee's sole option, (i) Mortgagor shall demonstrate to Mortgagee's
satisfaction that the legal proceeding shall operate conclusively to prevent the
sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to
final determination of such proceedings; or (ii) Mortgagor shall furnish a good
and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Mortgagee; or
(iii) Mortgagor shall have provided Mortgagee with a good and sufficient
undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of such
proceedings.

                                       12
<PAGE>   16
                  (e)      Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on the day monthly
installments of interest or of principal and interest, as the case may be, are
payable under the Note until the Note is paid in full, an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the annual total of Impositions reasonably estimated by Mortgagee
to be assessed against the Premises in order to pay the installment of taxes and
assessments next due on the Premises. Mortgagor further agrees to cause all
bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or
mailed directly to Mortgagee. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other
documents, and provided that Mortgagor has deposited sufficient funds with
Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 1.09, Mortgagee shall pay such amounts as
many be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Mortgagee. If at any
time and for any reason the funds deposited with Mortgagee are or will be
insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Mortgagee
shall notify Mortgagor and Mortgagor immediately shall deposit an amount equal
to such deficiency with Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained herein shall cause Mortgagee to be deemed a trustee of such funds or
to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited
with Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 1.09. Mortgagee may commingle such
deposits with its own funds and Mortgagee shall not be obliged to pay or allow
any interest on any sums held by Mortgagee pending disbursement or application
hereunder, and Mortgagee after the occurrence of an Event of Default may impound
or reserve for future payment of Impositions such portion of such payments as
Mortgagee may in its absolute discretion deem proper, applying the balance to
the principal of or interest on the obligations secured hereby. Should Mortgagor
fail to deposit with Mortgagee (exclusive of any portion of said payments which
may have been applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the principal of or
interest on the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents) sums sufficient to
fully pay such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before accrual of any
interest or penalty thereon, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's election, but without
any obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency,
which advances, if any, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, shall be
secured hereby and shall be repayable to Mortgagee as herein elsewhere provided,
or at the option of Mortgagee the latter may, without making any advance
whatsoever, apply any sums held by it upon any obligation of the Mortgagor
secured hereby. Should any default occur or exist in the payment or performance
of Mortgagor's and/or any guarantor's obligations under the terms of the Loan
Documents, Mortgagee may, at any time at Mortgagee's option, apply any sums or
amounts in its hands received pursuant hereto, or as rents or income of the
Premises or otherwise, to the payment or discharge of any indebtedness or
obligation of Mortgagor secured hereby in such manner and order as Mortgagee may
elect. The receipt, use or application of any such sums paid by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee hereunder shall not be construed to affect the maturity of any
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage or any of the rights or powers of
Mortgagee under the terms of the Loan Documents or any of the obligations of
Mortgagor and/or any guarantor under this Mortgage.

                  (f)      If Mortgagor or any successor or grantee of Mortgagor
is or shall be or become a corporation, a limited liability company or a limited
or general partnership, it shall keep in effect its existence and rights as such
corporation, company or partnership under the laws of the state of its
incorporation or formation and its right to own property and transact business
in the state in which the Premises is situated during the entire time that it
has any ownership or other interest in the Premises. For all periods during
which the title to the Premises

                                       13
<PAGE>   17
or any part thereof shall be held by a corporation or other entity subject to
corporate taxes or taxes similar to corporate taxes, Mortgagor shall file or
cause to be filed returns for such taxes with the proper authorities, bureaus or
departments and shall cause to be paid, when due and before interest or
penalties are due thereon, all taxes payable by such corporation or other entity
to the United States, to such state of incorporation or formation and to the
state in which the Premises is situated and any political subdivision thereof,
and shall produce to Mortgagee receipts showing payment of any and all such
taxes, charges or assessments prior to the last dates upon which such taxes,
charges or assessments are payable without interest or penalty charges;
provided, however, that Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency
occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such taxes, charges
or assessments in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, but this
shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending
Mortgagor's obligation to pay any such taxes, charges or assessments at the time
such contest, objection and legal proceedings have been terminated or
discontinued adversely to Mortgagor. Within ten (10) days of receipt thereof,
Mortgagor shall produce to Mortgagee all settlements, notices of deficiency or
overassessment and any other notices pertaining to Mortgagor's tax liability,
which may be issued by the United States, such state of incorporation or
formation, the state in which the Premises is situated and any political
subdivision thereof. If at any time the United States or any department or
bureau thereof shall require Internal Revenue stamps on the Note secured hereby,
Mortgagor on demand shall pay for. them with any interest or penalties payable
thereon.

         1.10     Utilities.  Mortgagor shall pay when due all utility charges
incurred by Mortgagor for the benefit of the Premises or which may become a
charge or lien against the Premises for gas, electricity, water or sewer
services furnished to the Premises and all other assessments or charges of a
similar nature, whether public or private, affecting the Premises or any portion
thereof, whether or not such taxes, assessments or charges are liens thereon.

         1.11     Mortgagor's Lease and Easement Obligations.  Mortgagor shall
pay when due all rents and other payments and perform all covenants and
agreements contained in any lease, sublease, ground lease or easement which may
constitute a portion of or an interest in the Premises, and shall not surrender,
assign or sublease any such lease, sublease, ground lease or easement, nor take
any other action which would affect or permit the termination of any such lease,
sublease, ground, lease or easement. Mortgagor covenants to furnish to Mortgagee
within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such rents or other payments
are due and payable by Mortgagor, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to
Mortgagee evidencing the payment thereof.

         1.12     Compliance with Laws; Actions Affecting Premises.  Mortgagor
shall promptly and faithfully comply with and obey all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, requirements and orders of every governmental authority or agent
having jurisdiction of the Premises. Mortgagor shall appear in and contest any
action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Mortgagee, and Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in any such action or proceeding.

         1.13     Actions by Mortgagee to Preserve Premises. Should Mortgagor
fail to make any payment or to do any act as and in the manner provided in any
of the Loan Documents, Mortgagee in its sole discretion, without obligation so
to do and without notice to or demand

                                       14
<PAGE>   18
upon Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation, may make or
do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to
protect the security hereof. In connection therewith, without limiting its
general powers, Mortgagee shall have and is hereby given the right, but not the
obligation, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Premises; (ii) to make
additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Premises which it may
consider necessary or proper to keep the Premises in good condition and repair;
(iii) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which
may affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Mortgagee; (iv) to
pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or
debt which in the judgment of Mortgagee may affect or appear to affect the
security of this Mortgage or be prior or superior hereto; and (v) in exercising
such powers, to pay all necessary expenses, including the fees and expenses of
counsel and/or other necessary or desirable consultants. Immediately upon demand
therefor by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay or reimburse all costs and expenses
incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the exercise by Mortgagee of the
foregoing rights, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title,
court costs, appraisals, surveys and attorneys' fees.

         1.14     Survival of Warranties.  Mortgagor shall fully and faithfully
satisfy and perform the obligations of Mortgagor contained in the Commitment and
in the other Loan Documents and each agreement of Mortgagor incorporated by
reference therein or herein and any modification or amendment therefor. All
representations, warranties and covenants of Mortgagor contained therein or
herein or incorporated by reference therein or herein shall survive the closing
and funding of the loan evidenced by the Note and shall remain continuing
obligations, warranties and representations of Mortgagor during any time when
any portion of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall remain
outstanding.

         1.15     Eminent Domain.  Should the Premises, or any part thereof or
interest therein, be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement,
eminent domain or other similar proceeding, ("Condemnation"), or should
Mortgagor receive any notice or other information regarding such proceeding,
Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee, and the
following provisions shall apply:

                  (a)      In the event of a Condemnation (x) requiring $50,000
or more to restore the Premises to the same value and character as existed
before the Condemnation or (y) requiring less than $50,000 to so restore
occurring after an. Event of Default has occurred and while such Event of
Default is continuing hereunder:

                           (i)     Mortgagee shall receive all compensation,
awards and other payments of relief therefor made or granted for the benefit of
Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or
compromise any claim and shall be entitled, at Mortgagee's option, to commence,
appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings. All such
compensation, awards, damages, rights of action and proceeds awarded to
Mortgagor (the "Proceeds") shall be deemed assigned to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor
agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Mortgagee may
require. Such assignment shall not relieve Mortgagor of its obligations to
continue to pay and perform the obligations and indebtedness secured hereby or
such portion thereof as remains unpaid after any application by Mortgagee,
pursuant to this Section 1.15, of the Proceeds to the obligations or
indebtedness so secured.

<PAGE>   19

                           (ii)    Mortgagee shall have the right to apply all
such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (regardless of
the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit),
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by it in connection with the
collection of such Proceeds, to the indebtedness secured hereby. Such
application or release shall not, by itself, cure or waive any default hereunder
or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act done pursuant to
such notice.

                  (b)      In the event of a condemnation of less than all or
substantially all of the Premises and so long as an Event of Default shall not
have occurred hereunder (or if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder
but Mortgagee shall not have elected to avail itself of its rights under
subparagraph (a)):

                           (i)     Mortgagor shall have the exclusive right to
settle, adjustment or compromise any claim, but Mortgagee shall have the right
to monitor the settlement process and the consent of Mortgagee shall be required
for any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any such claim in excess of
$50,000.

                           (ii)    Provided that (a) Mortgagee is satisfied
that there are sufficient Proceeds to complete restoration of the Improvements
to the same value and character as extended prior to the Condemnation and to
fulfill Mortgagor's obligations with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby,
Mortgagee shall apply the net Proceeds to restoration of the Improvements on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.06(b)(iii).

                           (iii)   If, prior to the commencement of
restoration, or at any time during restoration, the estimated cost of
restoration, as determined by Mortgagee, exceeds the net Proceeds, such
difference shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee for deposit into the
Restoration Account and disbursed prior to the disbursement of any Proceeds. Any
sum so added by Mortgagor which remains in the Restoration Account upon
completion of restoration shall be refunded by Mortgagor. All Proceeds, if any,
remaining after completion of restoration or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder shall be applied by Mortgagee to the then outstanding
principal balance of the indebtedness secured hereby.

         1.16     Additional Security. In the event Mortgagee at any time holds
additional security for any of the obligations secured hereby, it may enforce
the sale thereof or otherwise realize upon such additional security, at its
option, either before or concurrently with or after enforcing its remedies
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

         1.17     Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage shall apply to, inure to
the benefit of and bind all parties hereto, their successors, representatives
and assigns.

         1.18     Inspections. Mortgagee, its agents, representatives and
workers, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon or in any part of
the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the same and for the purpose of
performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform under the terms of any of
the Loan Documents.

         1.19     Liens. (a) Mortgagee may, at its sole option, declare the
entire unpaid balance of the principal of and the accrued interest on the Note
and all other sums secured by this Mortgage immediately due and payable if
Mortgagor, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, shall create or cause
or permit to exist any lien on, or security interest in, the Mortgaged Property,
including any furniture, fixtures, appliances, equipment or other items of
personal property which are intended to be or become part of the Mortgaged
Property, except the lien created hereby, any other liens granted to or
heretofore approved by Mortgagee, purchase money liens for furniture, fixtures
and/or equipment not to exceed $150,000.00 in the aggregate and the Permitted
Liens and except in connection with subordinate financing from the Shareholder
and made with the prior written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  (b)      Prior to the commencement of any construction,
renovation, improvement or other work on the Premises, Mortgagor shall file or
cause to be filed waivers of mechanics' liens in a form and manner satisfactory
to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay and promptly discharge, at Mortgagor's cost
and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the Premises, or any part
thereof or interest therein; provided, that Mortgagor shall have the right to
contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, encumbrance or charge,
provided Mortgagor shall first deposit with Mortgagee a bond or other security
satisfactory to Mortgagee in such amounts as Mortgagee shall require, and
provided further that Mortgagor shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause
such lien, encumbrance or charge to be removed and discharged. If Mortgagor
shall fail to discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge, or provide such
security, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Mortgagee, Mortgagee
may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the
amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by
depositing in court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security
for such claim, or in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law; and all
funds advanced by Mortgagee to pay such obligations, liabilities, costs and
expenses shall be reimbursed by Mortgagor upon demand by Mortgagee together with
interest thereon until reimbursement at the Default Rate; and all such advances
with interest thereon as aforesaid shall be secured by this Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents.

         1.20     Mortgagee's Powers. Without affecting the liability of any
other person liable for the payment or performance of any obligation secured
hereby, and without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any
portion of the Premises not then or theretofore released as security for the
full amount and extent of all unpaid and unperformed obligations, Mortgagee may,
from time to time and without notice (i) release any person so liable, (ii)
extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any such obligation or grant
other indulgences, (iii) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or
reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee's option, any parcel, portion or interest in
all or any part of the Premises, (iv) take or release any other or additional
security for any obligation herein mentioned, (v) make compositions or other
arrangements with debtors in relation thereto, or (vi) advance additional funds
to protect the security hereof and pay or discharge the obligations of Mortgagor
hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and all amounts so advanced, with
interest thereon at the rate set forth in the Note, shall be secured hereby.

<PAGE>   21
         1.21     Tradenames; Fictitious Name Registration. At the request of
Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to
Mortgagee listing the tradenames under which Mortgagor intends to operate the
Property and Improvements, and representing and warranting that Mortgagor does
business under no other tradename with respect to the Property and Improvements.
Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing of any change in said
tradenames, and will, upon request of Mortgagee, execute additional UCC
financing statements and other instruments revised to reflect the change in
tradename. Mortgagor shall make all filings and take all other steps required in
order to comply with applicable fictitious name statutes, and shall provide
evidence of such compliance to Mortgagee.

         1.22     Representations and Warranties Concerning ERISA. No employee
benefit plan maintained by Mortgagor which is subject to Part 3 of Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 has an accumulated funding
deficiency (as such term is defined therein), and Mortgagor has not incurred any
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The foregoing
representation and warranty shall survive the execution of this Mortgage and the
Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
obligations secured hereby are unpaid or this Mortgage remains in effect.

         1.23     Mortgagor's Existence; Transfers.

                  (a)      Mortgagor, and any subsequent owner of any of the
Premises, shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its and their existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a
corporation, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, under
the laws of the state of its and their formation and its and their right to own
property and transact business in the state in which the Premises are situate.
Neither Mortgagor nor any subsequent owner of the Premises or any portion
thereof, shall amend or modify (in any way that would adversely affect the
rights of Mortgagee) or cancel the certificate of incorporation, partnership
agreement or operating agreement (as the case may be) of Mortgagor or such
subsequent owner without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Neither the
composition nor form of business association of Mortgagor may be modified,
amended or altered, nor may the ownership of Mortgagor or the Premises, in whole
or. in part, be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of (other than
as expressly set forth in subparagraph (b)) without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, which consent may require such other terms and conditions as are
acceptable to Mortgagee.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything in subparagraph (a) to the
contrary, (i) so long as the Shareholder shall continue to manage and operate
the Premises and shall, directly or indirectly, control a majority in interest,
including voting interest, in the Mortgagor, the Shareholder may transfer all or
any part of its ownership interests in Mortgagor, and Mortgagor may issue and
deliver shares to any Person, and (ii) Mortgagor may transfer the Premises to
any single purpose entity in which the Shareholder directly or indirectly
controls a majority in interest, including voting interest, subject to this
Mortgage and the assignment and assumption of the Loan Documents, all without
the prior written consent of, or notice to, the Mortgagee.

         1.24     Mortgagee's Right to Publicize Source of Financing. Mortgagee
shall have the right to announce and publicize the source of financing for the
Improvements and/or the



                                       18
<PAGE>   22
Property, and to select the media, means and frequency of such publicity, which
may include, but need not be limited to, the placing of a financing sign on the
Property and the use of advertisements and other devices of Mortgagee's choice.

         1.25     Advance Money Mortgage.

                  (a)      This Mortgage secures future advances made pursuant
to this Mortgage or pursuant to the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
foregoing, this Mortgage secures all advances made by Mortgagee of any kind or
nature described in 42 Pa. C.S.A. ss. 8144.

                  (b)      If Mortgagor sends a written notice to Mortgagee
which purports to limit the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and
to release the obligation of Mortgagee to make any additional advances to or for
the benefit of Mortgagor, such a notice shall be ineffective as to any future
advances made: (i) to pay taxes, assessments, maintenance charges and insurance
premiums; (ii) for costs incurred for the protection of the Premises or the lien
of this Mortgage; (iii) on account of expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason
of a default of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Loan Documents; and (iv) on
account of any other costs incurred by Mortgagee to protect and preserve the
Premises or the lien of this Mortgage. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that any such advance made by Mortgagee after any such notice by Mortgagor shall
be secured by the lien of this Mortgage on the Premises.

                                   ARTICLE II
                     ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, ISSUES AND PROFITS

         2.01     Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to
Mortgagee all the rents, issues and profits of the Premises, now or hereafter
existing, and hereby gives to and confers upon Mortgagee the right, power and
authority to collect such rents, issues and profits. Mortgagor irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee Mortgagor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the option
of Mortgagee at any time and from time to time, to demand, receive arid enforce
payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and to sue, in the name
of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, for all such rents, issues and profits and apply them
to the indebtedness secured hereby; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall have
the right to collect such rents, issues and profits (but not more than one month
in advance) prior to or at any time there is not an Event of Default (as such
term is hereinafter defined in Section 5.01) under any of the Loan Documents.
The assignment of the rents, issues and profits of the Premises in this Article
II is intended to be an absolute assignment from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and not
merely the passing of a security interest. The rents, issues and profits are
hereby assigned absolutely by Mortgagor to Mortgagee contingent only upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents.

         2.02     Collection Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default under any of the Loan Documents, Mortgagee may, at any time and from
time to time without notice, either in person, by agent or by a receiver
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the
indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of the Premises, or
any part thereof, in its own name and sue for of otherwise collect such rents,

                                       19
<PAGE>   23
issues and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same,
less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys' fees,
upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Mortgagee may
determine. The collection of such rents, issues and profits, or the entering
upon and taking possession of the Premises, or the application thereof as
aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or
invalidate any act done in response to such default or pursuant to such notice
of default.

         2.03     Assignment of Leases. Mortgagor agrees to assign and transfer
to Mortgagee as additional security for the payment of the indebtedness secured
hereby all present and future leases upon all or any part of the Premises and
further agrees to execute and deliver, at the request of Mortgagee, all such
further assurances and assignments of leases with respect to the Premises as
Mortgagee shall from time to time require. In the event Mortgagor has sold,
transferred and assigned, or may hereafter sell, transfer and assign, to
Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, any interest of Mortgagor as lessor in
any lease or leases, Mortgagor expressly covenants and agrees that if Mortgagor,
as lessor under said lease or leases so assigned, shall fail to perform and
fulfill any material term, covenant, condition or provision in said lease or
leases, or any of them, on Mortgagor's part to be performed or fulfilled, at the
times and in the manner in said lease or leases provided, or if Mortgagor shall
suffer or permit to occur any breach or default under the provisions of any such
assignment of any lease or leases, then and in any such event, such breach or
default shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder as such term is defined
in Section 5.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         3.01     Creation of Security Interest. Mortgagor hereby grants to
Mortgagee a security interest in Mortgagor's interest in all of the Personal
Property, the Accounts, all other personal property now or hereafter owned by
Mortgagor and located in, on or at the Property or the Improvements and the
proceeds thereof, for the purpose of securing all obligations of Mortgagor
contained in any of the Loan Documents.

         3.02     Warranties, Representations and Covenants of Mortgagor.
Mortgagor hereby warrants, represents and covenants as follows:

                  (a)      Except for the security interest granted hereby,
Mortgagor is, and as to the portions of the Personal Property and
Accounts to be acquired after the date hereof will be, the sole owner of the
Personal Property and Accounts free from any lien, security interest,
encumbrance or claim thereon of any kind whatsoever other than Permitted Liens.
Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of, and will defend the Personal Property and
Accounts against, all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the
Personal Property, the Accounts or any interest therein.

                  (b)      Mortgagor will not assign, pledge, encumber or lease
(other than with Permitted Liens), or sell, convey or in any manner transfer the
Personal Property, the Accounts or portions thereof without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee.

                                       20
<PAGE>   24

                  (c)      The Personal Property will be kept on or at the
Property, and Mortgagor will not remove any portion or item of Personal Property
affixed or attached to the Property without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, except such portions or items of Personal Property which are consumed
or worn out in ordinary usage, and are promptly replaced by Mortgagor with new
items of equal or greater quality.

                  (d)      At the request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will join with
Mortgagee in executing one or more financing statements and renewals,
continuation statements and amendments thereof pursuant to the Pennsylvania
Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, and will pay the cost
of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is deemed by Mortgagee
to be necessary or desirable. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably appoints Mortgagee attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor to execute,
deliver and file such instruments for and on behalf of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor
will pay the costs of any such filing.

                  (e)      All covenants and obligations of Mortgagor contained
herein relating to the Premises shall be deemed to apply to the Personal
Property and the Accounts whether or not expressly referred to herein.

                  (f)      This Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

                  (g)      Notwithstanding any release of any or all of that
property included in the Premises which is deemed "real property", any
proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or its satisfaction of record, the terms
hereof shall survive as a security agreement with respect to the security
interest created hereby and referred to above until the repayment or
satisfaction in full of the obligations of Mortgagor as are now or hereafter
evidenced by the Note.

                  (h)      Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee or substitutes
appointed by Mortgagee or its successors and assigns as Mortgagor's true and
lawful attorney, for Mortgagor and in Mortgagor's name to perform and do all
every act and thing whatsoever requisite and necessary to be done under all
contracts, licenses, leases and similar documents and agreements in which
Mortgagee has a security interest, upon an Event of Default hereunder. This
appointment shall be coupled with an interest and shall be non-cancelable except
upon satisfaction of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagor hereby ratifies
and confirms all that Mortgagee shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant
hereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                               FINANCIAL COVENANTS

         4.01     Financial Reporting. Mortgagor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Mortgagee (i) no later than March 1 of each year, an income and
expense statement for the Premises, reflecting the Premises' financial condition
as of each December 31, certified by Mortgagor's Chief Financial officer as true
and correct, (ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 10 days after
filing, copies of Mortgagor's federal tax returns, (iii) no later than the
twentieth day of each month, a rent roll for the Premises, (iv) no later than
April 30 of each year,


                                       21
<PAGE>   25
the annual report (Form 10-K) of the Shareholder as submitted to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and (v) such other financial information as Mortgagee
may from time to time reasonably request, all of the foregoing in form and
content reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor further agrees to make the
books and accounts relating to the Premises available for inspection by
Mortgagee or its representatives upon request at any reasonable time.

         4.02     Reserves. Mortgagor shall establish with Mortgagee a bank
account to be disbursed only for capital expenditures at or in connection with
the Premises, all in accordance with the Escrow, Pledge and Security Agreement.

         4.03     Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

                  (a)      Beginning no later than the last day of the sixth
full month after the month in which the Premises achieve "breakeven operation"
(as defined in the Loan Agreement), the ratio of "net operating income" to "debt
service" shall at no time be less than 1.20 to 1.0. Mortgagee's determination as
to Mortgagor's compliance with this Section 4.03 shall be based on the
information provided pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Mortgage and the
certificates supplied pursuant to Section 4.04 of this Mortgage. For purposes
hereof "Net Operating Income" for any period shall mean the amount by which the
aggregate of all rents, occupancy charges, payments for assisted living services
and other charges or sums received in such period with respect to the occupancy,
use or right to use all or any part of the Improvements and the services
available to its residents under any occupancy agreement, lease, license or
other agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of money actually expended in such
period on a cash basis pursuant to arms length transactions for the following:
labor costs; general maintenance, repairs and replacements; management fees to
Alternative Living Services, Inc. equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of
gross income of the Premises or the actual fee payable under any management
agreement approved by Mortgagee; costs of licenses, permits, and similar fees
relating to the operation of the Premises; premiums for insurance; charges for
electricity and other utilities, assessments, real estate taxes, water charges
and sewer rents (or the amounts deposited into escrow therefor); amounts
required to be paid into the escrow account at Bank for capital expenditures
pursuant to the Escrow, Pledge and Security Agreement; and other customary and
reasonable expenses in connection with the operation, maintenance and
preservation of the Property and the Improvements, all of which are subject to
Mortgagee's approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of calculating
such ratio for any period, any item of income collected or expense paid that is
applicable to other periods shall be amortized in equal installments over the
periods to which each such item of income or expense is applicable, so that only
that portion of such income and expense applicable to the period for which the
ratio is being calculated shall be included in such calculation. Without
limiting the generality of those items which shall not be included among the
expenses allowable for purposes of calculating net operating income, the
following shall be specifically excluded from such calculation: debt service;
capital expenditures; depreciation and other non-cash items; and prepaid
expenses that are not customarily prepaid in the ordinary course of business.
For purposes hereof, "debt service" for any period shall mean all principal and
interest which would be payable by Mortgagor in any such period pursuant to a
note in the outstanding principal amount of the Note, accruing interest at the
applicable rate set forth in the Note and amortizing over the applicable period
of time set forth in the Note.

                                       22
<PAGE>   26
                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything in Article V of this
Mortgage to the contrary, Mortgagor's failure to maintain the ratio of net
operating income to debt service required by the previous subparagraph shall not
constitute an Event of Default, so long as Mortgagor (i) deposits funds, or a
letter of credit in accordance with the Loan Agreement, with Mortgagee
sufficient to attain a 1.20 to 1.0 debt service coverage ratio and such funds,
or letter of credit, remain deposited with Mortgagee until a 1.20 to 1.0 debt
service coverage ratio has been reached and maintained for twelve consecutive
months, and (ii) Mortgagor delivers or causes to be delivered to Mortgagee
monthly operating statements for the Premises and such other additional
financial information as Mortgagee shall request until the debt service coverage
ratio meets or exceeds 1.20 to 1.0 for twelve consecutive months.

         4.04     Compliance Certificates. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee
together with the statements and reports delivered pursuant to subsection 4.01
of this Mortgage, and more often as Mortgagee may reasonably request or as
Mortgagor may desire, a certificate stating whether or not the covenants in
subsection 4.03 of this Mortgage have been met and Mortgagor shall attach to
such certificate the calculations and other information necessary to evidence
such compliance.

                                    ARTICLE V
                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         5.01     Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a default (an "Event of Default") by Mortgagor
hereunder:

                  (a)      Default shall be made in the payment of any
installment of principal or interest or any other sum secured hereby within five
(5) days after notice from Mortgagee that such sum is due and payable (other
than sums due on the "Maturity Date" of the Note, for which no notice shall be
required);

                  (b)      Mortgagor shall file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall commence a
federal bankruptcy proceeding in which an order for relief or such other court
order or statutory procedure which authorizes the case to proceed is entered
against it, or shall file any petition or answer seeking or acquiescing in any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other
statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief
for debtors; or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any
custodian, trustee, receiver or liquidator of Mortgagor or of all or any part of
the Premises, or of any or all of the royalties, revenues, rents, issues or
profits thereof, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due;

                  (c)      A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an
order for relief, order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against
Mortgagor seeking any reorganization, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such

                                       23
<PAGE>   27
order for relief, order, judgment or decree shall remain unvacated and unstayed
for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive) from the first
day of entry thereof; or any custodian, trustee, receiver or liquidator of

may declare all indebtedness secured hereby to be due and payable and the same
shall thereupon become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind. When the entire indebtedness shall become due and
payable, either because of maturity or because of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or otherwise, then forthwith, Mortgagee may:

                           (i)     Either in person or by agent, enter into
possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, in its own name, without legal
action, and by force if necessary, and do any acts which it deems necessary or
desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Premises,
or any part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or

receipt and application of rents, issues or profits, Mortgagee shall be entitled
to exercise every right provided for in any of the Loan Documents or by law upon
occurrence of any event of default, including the right to foreclose this
Mortgage. FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENABLING MORTGAGEE TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OF THE
PREMISES IN THE EVENT OF ANY

OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR MORTGAGOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING
UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST
MORTGAGOR, AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, IN AN
ACTION IN EJECTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGEE, FOR
WHICH THIS MORTGAGE, OR A COPY THEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE
SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR
POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND
WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN
COMMENCED IT SHALL BE DISCONTINUED, OR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL REMAIN

DEFAULT OR ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT TO BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS AS ABOVE
PROVIDED TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES. MORTGAGEE MAY CONFESS JUDGMENT
IN AN ACTION FOR EJECTMENT BEFORE OR AFTER THE INSTITUTION OF PROCEEDINGS TO
FORECLOSE THIS MORTGAGE OR TO ENFORCE THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR
AFTER ENTRY OF JUDGMENT THEREIN OR ON THE NOTE, OR AFTER A SHERIFF'S SALE,
JUDICIAL SALE OR OTHER FORECLOSURE SALE OF THE PREMISES IN WHICH MORTGAGEE IS
THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER, IT BEING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES THAT THE
AUTHORIZATION TO PURSUE SUCH PROCEEDINGS FOR OBTAINING POSSESSION AND CONFESSION
OF JUDGMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE REMEDIES FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE
MORTGAGE, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY EXECUTION

additions and improvements to and exercising all rights and powers of Mortgagor
in respect of the Personal Property or any part thereof. In the event Mortgagee

of any rights under any of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor promises and agrees
promptly to turn over and deliver complete possession thereof to Mortgagee;

                                   (2)      Without notice to or demand upon
Mortgagor, making such payments and doing such acts as Mortgagee may deem
necessary to protect its security interest in the Personal Property, including
without limitation, paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any
encumbrance, charge or lien which is prior to or superior to the security
interest granted hereunder, and in exercising any such powers or authority to
pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith;

an agent or representative designated by it. Mortgagee, and its agents and,
representatives shall have the right to enter upon any or all of Mortgagor's
Premises and property to exercise Mortgagee's rights hereunder;

as Mortgagee may determine. Mortgagee may be a purchaser at any such sale;

                                   (5)      Unless the Personal Property is
perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily
sold on a recognized market, Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor at least ten (10)
days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the
Personal Property or other intended disposition thereof. Such notice may be
mailed to Mortgagor at the address set forth at the beginning of this Mortgage.

or for the benefit of Mortgagor or any other person or entity; (2) order

indebtedness as herein provided, a tender of payment of the amount necessary to
satisfy the entire indebtedness secured hereby made at any time prior to
foreclosure sale (including sale under the power of sale) by Mortgagor, its
successors or assigns or by anyone in behalf of Mortgagor, its successors or
assigns, shall constitute an evasion of the prepayment terms of the Note and be
deemed to be a voluntary prepayment thereunder, and any such payment, to the
extent permitted by law, will therefore include the additional payment, if any,
required under the prepayment privilege contained in the Note.

         5.03     Foreclosure and Other Actions by Mortgagee. Where the
indebtedness hereby secured, or any part thereof, shall become due, whether upon
maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, Mortgagee may institute an action of
mortgage foreclosure against the Premises, or take such other action at law or
in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage and the Note and realization on
the mortgage security or any other security herein or elsewhere provided for as
the law may allow, and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for
the entire unpaid balance of the principal debt, with interest at the rate
stipulated in the Note to the date of default, and thereafter at the Default
Rate, together with all other sums due by Mortgagor in accordance with the
provisions of the Note, this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, including
all sums which may have been loaned by Mortgagee to Mortgagor after the date of
this Mortgage and pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, and all sums which may

<PAGE>   31

any sale which may be had pursuant to such judgment the true condition of the
title to or the value of the Premises, all costs of suit, together with interest
at the Default Rate on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from and after the
date of such judgment including the period from and after the date of any
Sheriff's or judicial sale until actual payment is made of the full amount due
Mortgagee, and an attorney's commission for collection which shall be the lesser
of five percent (5%) of the total of the foregoing sums or $10,000.00. Any real
estate or interest therein sold pursuant to any writ of execution issued on a
judgment obtained by virtue of the Note or this Mortgage, or pursuant to any
other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage, may be sold in one parcel, as an
entirety, or in such parcels, and such interests, and in such manner or order as
Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect.

any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, whether incurred before or
after the entry of a judgment in favor of Mortgagee for the unpaid balance of
the debt evidenced by the Note, shall be immediately due and payable by
Mortgagor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate and shall be secured by
this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an
appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by Mortgagor under
the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not
the principal indebtedness or any other sums evidenced by the Note and secured
by this Mortgage shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee
thereafter to bring an action of mortgage foreclosure, or any other action, for
any default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.

         5.05     Mortgagee's Right of Possession in Case of Default. In any
case in which under the provisions of this Mortgage Mortgagee has a right to
institute foreclosure proceedings, whether before or after the whole principal
sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due, and whether before or
after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose the lien hereof and
before or after sale thereunder, Mortgagee in its own discretion, without
obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, except as
specifically provided herein, and without releasing Mortgagor from any
obligation, may make any payment or do any act in such manner and to such extent
as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. In connection
therewith (without limiting the foregoing general powers), Mortgagee shall have

action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the
rights or powers of Mortgagee; (iii) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or debt which, in the judgment of Mortgagee,
may affect or appears to affect the security of this Mortgage or be prior or
superior hereto; and (iv) in exercising such powers, to pay necessary expenses,
including employment of counsel or other

Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in
connection with the exercise by Mortgagee of the foregoing rights, including,
without limitation, costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals, surveys
and reasonable attorneys' fees. All such sums, as well as costs, advanced by

payment by Mortgagee until the date of repayment. In addition, upon demand of
Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall surrender to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be
entitled to take actual possession of, the Premises or any part thereof
personally, or by its agent or attorneys, as for condition broken. In such

discretion of its successors or assigns may be deemed proper or necessary to
enforce the payment or security of the avails, rents, issues, and profits of the
Premises, including actions for the recovery of rent, and with full power: (a)
to cancel or terminate any lease or sublease for any cause or on any ground
which would entitle Mortgagor to cancel such lease or sublease; (b) to elect to

(c) to extend or modify any then existing leases and to make new leases, which
extensions, modifications and new leases may provide for terms to expire beyond
the maturity date of the indebtedness secured hereby and beyond the date of the
issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale,
it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other
such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all
persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to the lien hereof and upon
the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any
discharge or satisfaction of the mortgage indebtedness, satisfaction of any
foreclosure decree or deficiency judgment, or issuance of any bill of sale or
deed to any purchaser; (d) to make all necessary or proper repairs, decorations,
renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to
the Premises as may seem judicious to Mortgagee; (e) to insure and reinsure the
Premises and all risks incidental to Mortgagee's possession, operation and
management thereof; and (f) to receive all of such avails, rents, issues and
profits, hereby granting full power and authority to exercise each and every of
the rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times hereafter,
without notice to Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the foregoing rights and powers of
Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it
hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability
under any lease of the Premises or any part thereof. Mortgagor shall and does
hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all
liability, loss , or damage which it may or might incur under such leases or
under or by reason of the assignment thereof and of and from any and all claims
and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged
obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the
terms, covenants or agreements contained in such leases. Should Mortgagee incur
any such liability, loss or damage, under such leases or under or by reason of
the assignment thereof, or in the defense of any claims or demands with respect
thereto, the amount thereof, including costs,

                                       29
<PAGE>   33

expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be secured hereby, and Mortgagor
shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand.

         All references in this Section 5.05 to "leases" shall include all
leases and/or occupancy agreements affecting the Property and Improvements
whether superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.

exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove conferred upon it by Article II
and Section 5.05 hereof shall have full power to use and apply the avails,

Premises, including the cost from time to time of installing or replacing the
Personal Property therein, and of placing the Premises in such condition as
will, in the judgment of Mortgagee, make it readily rentable;

                 (d)      to the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or
any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale upon the Premises, or
any part thereof.

         5.07     Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time after the filing
of an action to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such action is filed
may appoint a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made either
before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such receiver and without
regard to the then current value of the Premises, and Mortgagee or any agent of
Mortgagee may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have power: (a)
to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Premises during the pendency of
such foreclosure suit as well as during any other times when Mortgagor, except
for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents,
issues and profits; (b) to extend or modify any then existing leases and to make
new leases, which extensions, modifications and new leases may provide for terms
to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond
the maturity date of the indebtedness secured hereby and beyond the date of the
issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale,
it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other
such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all

the net income in his hands in payment in whole or in part of: (a) the
indebtedness secured hereby, or by any judgment or decree foreclosing this
mortgage, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become
superior to the lien hereof or of such judgment: or decree, provided such
application is made prior to foreclosure sale; (b) and all rents due or which
may become due under any underlying lease; or (c) the deficiency judgment, in
case of an execution sale and deficiency judgment.

         5.08     Remedies Not Exclusive.  Mortgagor hereby agrees that:

                  (a)      Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and
performance of any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby and to exercise all
rights, remedies and powers under this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents and
the warrants contained therein or any other agreement or any laws now or
hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of such indebtedness and
obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by
mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the
acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement whether by court action or other
powers herein contained shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee's
right to realize upon or enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or
hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as it may in its absolute
discretion determine.

                  (b)      No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents
to Mortgagee or to which Mortgagee may be otherwise entitled maybe exercised
separately, successively, concurrently or independently, from time to time and
as often as it may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee and Mortgagee may pursue
inconsistent remedies.

                  (c)      The failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Any failure by
Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and
provisions of this Mortgage or of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Mortgage or other Loan
Documents, and Mortgagee shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict
performance by Mortgagor of any and all of them.

                  (d)      Neither Mortgagor nor any other person now or
hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the sums now or hereafter
secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the
failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or of any other
person so obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise
enforce any provisions of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, or by reason
of

                                       31
<PAGE>   35

the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security
held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any
agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Premises or any
interest therein and Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the
terms of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents without first having obtained the
consent of Mortgagor or such other person; and in the latter event Mortgagor and
all such other persons shall continue to be liable to make payments according to
the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly
released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee.

                  (e)      Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration,
any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage
without, as to the remainder of the security, in anyway impairing or affecting
the lien of this Mortgage or its priority over any subordinate lien.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         6.01     Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be subject to and governed
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the event that any provision
or clause of any of the Loan Documents conflicts with applicable laws, such
conflicts shall not affect other provisions of such Loan Documents which can be
given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the provisions
of the Loan Documents are declared to be severable. This instrument cannot be
waived, amended, changed, released, discharged or satisfied orally, but only by
an instrument in. writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
waiver, amendment, change, release, discharge or satisfaction is sought.

         6.02     Mortgagor Waiver of Rights. Mortgagor waives the benefit of
all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for (i) any
appraisal before sale of any portion of the Premises, and (ii) the benefit of
all laws that may be hereafter enacted in: any way extending the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the Note or the debt evidenced thereby or
creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting
such debt. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that
Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Mortgagor, for itself and its
successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest
in the Premises, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all
rights of redemption, valuation, appraisal, stay of execution, notice of
election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and
marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Mortgagor
hereby waives and releases all errors, defects and imperfections in any
proceeding instituted by Mortgagee under the Note or this Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents, or any of them, and unless specifically required herein, all
notices of Mortgagor's default or of Mortgagee's election to exercise, or
Mortgagee's actual exercise of any option under the Note or this Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force of
which Mortgagor, or its successors and assigns or other person may take
advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in
force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of
this Section. Mortgagor expressly waives and relinquishes


                                       32
<PAGE>   36
any and all rights and remedies which Mortgagor may have or be able to assert by
reason of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pertaining to the rights
and remedies of sureties.

         6.04     Counsel Fees. If Mortgagee becomes a party to any suit or
proceeding affecting the Premises or title thereto, the lien created by this
Mortgage or Mortgagee's interest therein, or if Mortgagee or any successor or
assignee of Mortgagee has engaged counsel to prepare or review any of the Loan
Documents in preparation for the granting of the loan to Mortgagor evidenced
thereby, the costs, expenses and counsel fees of Mortgagee shall be paid by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand and until paid they shall be deemed to be part
of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage.

         6.05     Limitation of Interest. It is the intent of Mortgagor and
Mortgagee in the execution of this Mortgage and the Note and all other
instruments securing the Note to contract in strict compliance with the usury
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania governing the loan evidenced by the
Note. In furtherance thereof, Mortgagee and Mortgagor stipulate and agree that
none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be
construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money
requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate
permitted to be charged by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
governing the loan evidenced by the Note. Mortgagor or any guarantor, endorser
or other party now or hereafter becoming liable for the payment of the Note
shall never be liable for unearned interest on the Note and shall never be
required to pay interest on the Note at a rate in excess of the maximum interest
that may be lawfully charged under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of
the Note and any other instrument executed in connection herewith which may be
in apparent conflict herewith. In the event it is determined that any holder of
the Note has collected monies which are deemed to constitute interest and are
deemed to increase the effective interest rate on the Note to a rate in excess
of that permitted to be charged by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such legal rate shall
be refunded to Mortgagor immediately after such determination. Such refund may
be made by application of the amount involved against the sums due under the
Note, but such crediting shall not cure or waive any default by Mortgagor
remaining uncorrected.

         6.06     Statements by Mortgagor. Mortgagor, within ten (10) days after
being given notice by mail, will furnish to Mortgagee a written statement
stating the unpaid principal of and interest on the Note and any other amounts
secured by this Mortgage and stating whether any offset or defense exists
against such principal and interest.

         6.07     Captions. The captions or headings at the beginning of each
Section hereof are for the convenience of the parties, are not a part of this
Mortgage and do not affect the meaning of the provisions of this Mortgage.

         6.08     Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If the lien of this Mortgage
is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the debt, or if the lien is
invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Premises, the unsecured or
partially secured portion of the debt shall be paid completely prior to the
payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured portion of the debt,
and all payments made on the debt, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or
other enforcement action or procedure, shall be considered to have been first
paid on and applied to the full payment of that portion of the debt which is not
secured or fully secured by the lien of this Mortgage.

         6.09     Subrogation. To the extent that proceeds of the loan
evidenced by the Note are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or prior
encumbrance against the Premises, such proceeds have been or will be advanced by
Mortgagee at Mortgagor's request and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and
all rights and liens held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens,
charges and prior encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or
encumbrances are released.

         6.10     No Merger. If both the lessor's and lessee's estates under any
lease or any portion thereof which constitutes a part of the Premises shall at
any time become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby
shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger,
and, in such event, Mortgagee shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights
and privileges of Mortgagee as purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so
elect. No act by or on behalf of Mortgagee or any such purchaser shall
constitute a termination of any lease or sublease unless Mortgagee or such
purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such tenant or subtenant.

         6.11     Definitions. Whenever used in this Mortgage, unless the
context clearly indicates a contrary intent:

                  (a)      The word "Mortgagor" shall mean the person named in

all agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions, stipulations, warrants of
attorney, authorizations, waivers, releases, options, undertakings, rights and
benefits made or given by Mortgagor shall be joint and several, and shall bind
and affect all persons who are defined as "Mortgagor" as fully as though all of
them were specifically named herein wherever the word "Mortgagor" is used.

         6.12     Amendments. This Mortgage may be amended only by written
agreement, executed by all of the parties hereto, and no other purported
agreement, written or oral, shall be effective to vary the terms hereof.
