<PAGE>   4
      AND the Mortgagor covenants and agrees with and represents and warrants to
the Mortgagee as follows:

      1. Payment of Debt. The Mortgagor will pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for its payment in the Note.

      2. Warranty of Title. Subject only to those exceptions to title
specifically set forth in the title policy issued or to be issued by Chicago
Title Insurance Company, commitment No. BT-9951, to the Mortgagee and insuring
the lien of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor warrants the title to the Premises, the
Improvements, the Equipment and the balance of the Mortgaged Property. the
Mortgagor also represents and warrants that (i) the Mortgagor is now, and after
giving effect to this Mortgage, will be in a solvent condition, (ii) the
execution and delivery of this Mortgage by the Mortgagor does not constitute a
"fraudulent conveyance" within the meaning of Title 11 of the United States Code
as now constituted or under any other applicable statute, and (iii) no
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are pending or contemplated by or against
the Mortgagor.

      3. Insurance. The Mortgagor shall maintain insurance as required by the
Purchase Agreement, the proceeds of which are to be paid to the Mortgagee for
application as provided by the Purchase Agreement.

      4. Payment of Taxes, etc. The Mortgagor shall pay all taxes, assessments,
water rates, sewer rents and other charges, including vault charges and license
fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Premises, now
or hereafter levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Property (the "TAXES")
prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added
thereto or imposed by law for the nonpayment thereof. The Mortgagor shall
deliver to the Mortgagee, upon request, receipted bills, canceled checks and
other evidence satisfactory to the Mortgagee evidencing that the payment of all
taxes is current.

      5. Escrow Fund. If an Event of Default is outstanding, the Mortgagor will,
at the option of the Mortgagee, pay to the Mortgagee on the first day of each
calendar month one-twelfth of an amount (the "ESCROW FUND") which would be
sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by the Mortgagee to be
payable, during the ensuing twelve (12) months. The Mortgagee will apply the
Escrow Fund to the payment of Taxes which are required to be paid by the
Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage. If the amount of the
Escrow Fund shall exceed the amount of the Taxes payable by the Mortgagor
pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall, in its
discretion, (a) return any excess to the Mortgagor, or (b) credit such excess
against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund or (c) credit such excess
to the Debt. In allocating such excess, the Mortgagee may deal with the person
shown on the records of the Mortgagee to be the owner of the Mortgaged Property.
If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the Taxes, as the same become
payable, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee, upon request, an amount which
the Mortgagee shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Until
expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the Escrow Fund may be
commingled with the general funds of the Mortgagee and shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and shall not bear interest.

      6. Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through eminent domain or otherwise, the Mortgagor shall continue to
pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note
and this Mortgage and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment
therefor shall have been actually received and applied by the Mortgagee to the
discharge of the Debt. The Mortgagee shall have the option to apply the entire
amount of any such award or payment to the discharge of the Debt whether or not
then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as the Mortgagee in
its discretion shall deem proper. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by the Mortgagee of such award or
payment, the Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency
judgment
<PAGE>   5
on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive such award
or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt, whichever is less.
The Mortgagor shall file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such award or
payment in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected
and paid over to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and
empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, to collect
and receipt for any such award or payment and to file and prosecute such claim
or claims. Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be
necessary in any event, the Mortgagor shall, upon demand of the Mortgagee, make,
execute and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for
the purpose of assigning any such award or payment to the Mortgagee, free and
clear of any encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever.

      7. Leases and Rents. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Mortgagee
waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting
the Rents, and grants the Mortgagor the right to collect the Rents. The
Mortgagor shall hold the Rents, or an amount sufficient to discharge all current
sums due on the Debt, in trust for use in payment of the Debt. The right of the
Mortgagor to collect the Rents may be revoked by the Mortgagee upon an Event of
Default by giving notice of such revocation to the Mortgagor. Following such
notice the Mortgagee may retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt
in such order, priority and proportions as the Mortgagee, in its discretion,
shall deem proper, or to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Mortgaged
Property, and irrespective of whether the Mortgagee shall have commenced a
foreclosure of this Mortgage or shall have applied or arranged for the
appointment of a receiver. The Mortgagor shall not, without the consent of the
Mortgagee, make, or suffer to be made, any Leases or modify or cancel any Leases
or accept prepayments of installments of the Rents for a period of more than one
(1) month in advance or further assign the whole or any part of the Rents. The
Mortgagor shall (a) fulfill or perform each and every provision of the Leases on
the part of the Mortgagor to be fulfilled or performed, (b) promptly send copies
of all notices of default which the Mortgagor shall send or receive under the
Leases to the Mortgagee, and (c) enforce, short of termination of the Leases,
the performance or observance of the provisions thereof by the tenants
thereunder.

      8. Maintenance of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall cause the
Mortgaged Property to be maintained in good condition and repair and will not
commit or suffer to be committed any waste of the Mortgaged Property. The
Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially
altered (except for normal replacement of the Equipment), without the consent of
the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall promptly comply with all existing and future
governmental laws, orders, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof or the use thereof. The Mortgagor
shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property
which may be damaged or destroyed by fire or other property hazard or casualty
(including any fire or other property hazard or casualty for which insurance was
not obtained or obtainable) or which may be affected by any taking by any public
or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, and shall
complete and pay for, within a reasonable time, any structure at any time in the
process of construction or repair on the Premises. The Mortgagor will not,
without obtaining the prior consent of the Mortgagee, initiate, join in or
consent to any private restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance, or other public
or private restrictions, limiting or affecting the uses which may be made of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

      9. Environmental Provisions. For the purposes of this paragraph the
following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the term "HAZARDOUS
MATERIAL" shall mean any material or substance including petroleum products
that, whether by its nature or use, is subject to regulation under any
Environmental Requirement, (ii) the term "ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS" shall

Hazardous Material used in the ordinary course of Mortgagor's business in

manner which violates any Environmental Requirement, or which requires cleanup
or corrective action of any kind under any Environmental Requirement, (ii) no

violation, lien, complaint, suit, order or other notice with respect to the

Mortgagor has, and will continue to have, all necessary federal, state and local
licenses, certificates, permits and approvals relating to its facilities,

Requirements, and (vii) all closures, terminations and transfers of operations,
as defined by the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et
seq. and the regulations thereunder ("ISRA"), on or relating to the Mortgaged
Property since December 31, 1983 have been completed only after full compliance
with ISRA, to the extent applicable. The Mortgagor shall comply, and shall cause
all tenants or other occupants of the Mortgaged Property to comply, in all
respects with all Environmental Requirements, and will not generate, store,
handle, process, dispose of or otherwise use, and will not permit any tenant or
other occupant of the Mortgaged Property to generate, store, handle, process,
dispose of or otherwise use, Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under or about the
Mortgaged Property in a manner that could lead or potentially lead to the
imposition on the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgaged Property of any
liability or lien of any nature whatsoever under any Environmental Requirement.
All closures, terminations and transfers of operations, as defined by ISRA, on
or relating to the Mortgaged Property during the term of this Mortgage, shall be
completed only after full compliance with ISRA, to the extent applicable, by the
Mortgagor and all tenants or other occupants of the Mortgaged Property to the
extent Mortgagor believes that ISRA is not applicable to any closures,
terminations or transfers of operations at the Mortgaged Property during the
term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall obtain a Letter of Non-Applicability as

relating to alleged violations of any Environmental Requirement and will
promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against the Mortgagee, the
Mortgagor or the Mortgaged
<PAGE>   7
Property relating to any Environmental Requirement. If at any time it is
determined that the past, present or future operation or use of the Mortgaged
Property violates any applicable Environmental Requirement or that there are
Hazardous Materials located at, in, on, under or about the Mortgaged Property
which, under any Environmental Requirement, require special handling in
collection, storage, treatment or disposal, or any other form of cleanup or
corrective action, the Mortgagor shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice thereof from any Governmental Authority or from the Mortgagee, take, at
its sole cost and expense, such actions as may be necessary to fully comply in
all respects with all Environmental Requirements, provided, however, that if
such compliance cannot reasonably be completed within such thirty (30) day
period, the Mortgagor shall commence such necessary action within such thirty
(30) day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to
fully comply in all respects and in a timely fashion with all Environmental
Requirements. If the Mortgagor fails to timely take, or to diligently and
expeditiously proceed to complete in a timely fashion, any such action, the
Mortgagee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make advances or payments
towards the performance or satisfaction of the same, but shall in no event be
under any obligation to do so. All sums so advanced or paid by the Mortgagee
(including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses,
investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, and fines or other penalty
payments) and all sums advanced or paid in connection with any judicial or
administrative investigation or proceeding relating thereto, will immediately,
upon demand, become due and payable from the Mortgagor and shall bear interest
at the rate of interest determined in accordance with Section 8.2(c) of the
Purchase Agreement (the "DEFAULT RATE") from the date any such sums are so
advanced or paid by the Mortgagee until the date any such sums are repaid by the
Mortgagor to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor will execute and deliver, promptly
upon request, such instruments as the Mortgagee may deem useful or necessary to
permit the Mortgagee to take any such action, and such additional notes and
mortgages, as the Mortgagee may require to secure all sums so advanced or paid
by the Mortgagee. If a lien is filed against the Mortgaged Property by any
Governmental Authority resulting from the need to expend or the actual expending
of monies arising from an action or omission, whether intentional or
unintentional, of the Mortgagor or for which the Mortgagor is responsible,
resulting in the releasing, spilling, leaking, leaching, pumping, emitting,
pouring, emptying or dumping of any Hazardous Material into the waters or onto
land located within or without the State where the Mortgaged Property is
located, then the Mortgagor will, within ten (10) days from the date that the
Mortgagor is first given notice that such lien has been placed against the
Mortgaged Property (or within such shorter period of time as may be specified by
the Mortgagee if such Governmental Authority has commenced steps to cause the
Mortgaged Property to be sold pursuant to such lien) either (a) pay the claim
and remove the lien, or (b) furnish a cash deposit, bond, or such other security
with respect thereto as is satisfactory in all respects to the Mortgagee and is
sufficient to effect a complete discharge of such lien on the Mortgaged
Property. As a condition precedent to any action by Mortgagor, whether in equity
or at law, to seek to rescind its interest in the Mortgaged Property, including,
without limitation, any statutory rights of rescission under either N.J.S.A.
13:1K-13(b) or N.J.S.A. 13:18A-22(c), Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee and
provide replacement collateral which in Mortgagee's sole discretion is
equivalent to the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagee may, at its option, if the
Mortgagee reasonably believes that a Hazardous Material or other environmental
condition violates or threatens to violate any Environmental Requirement, cause
an environmental audit of the Mortgaged Property or portions thereof to be
conducted to confirm the Mortgagor's compliance with the provisions of this
paragraph, and the Mortgagor shall cooperate in all reasonable ways with the
Mortgagee in connection with any such audit and shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith. The Mortgagor will defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless the Mortgagee, its employees, agents, officers, and directors, from and
against any and all claims, demands, penalties, causes of action, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or
nature, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or otherwise
(including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses,
(including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses,
investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, court costs, and litigation
expenses) arising out of, in any way related to, (i) any breach by the Mortgagor
of any of the
<PAGE>   8
provisions of this paragraph, (ii) the presence, disposal, spillage, discharge,
emission, leakage, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Material
which is at, in, on, under, about, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property,
including, without limitation, any damage or injury resulting from any such
Hazardous Material to or affecting the Mortgaged Property or the soil, water,
air, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons or animals located on the
mortgaged Property or on any other property or otherwise, (iii) any personal
injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising
out of or related to any such Hazardous Material, (iv) any lawsuit brought or
threatened, settlement reached, or order or directive of or by any Governmental
Authority relating to such Hazardous Material, or (v) any violation of any
Environmental Requirement or any policy or requirement of the Mortgagee
hereunder. This indemnification shall, notwithstanding any exculpatory or other
provision of any nature whatsoever to the contrary set forth in the Note, this
Mortgage or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and
delivered in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note and secured by this
Mortgage, constitute the personal recourse undertakings, obligations and
liabilities of the Mortgagor. If this Mortgage is foreclosed or the Mortgagor
tenders a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, the Mortgagor shall deliver
the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser at foreclosure or to the Mortgagee, its
nominee, or wholly owned subsidiary, as the case may be, in a condition that
complies in all respects with all Environmental Requirements. The obligations
and liabilities of the Mortgagor under this paragraph shall survive and continue
in full force and effect and shall not be terminated, discharged or released, in
whole or in part, irrespective of whether the Debt has been paid in full and
irrespective of any foreclosure of this Mortgage or acceptance by the Mortgagee,
its nominee or wholly owned subsidiary of a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure and irrespective of any other fact or circumstance of any nature
whatsoever.

      10.Transfer or Encumbrance of the Mortgaged Property. Except for Permitted
Liens, no part of the Mortgaged Property nor any interest of any nature
whatsoever therein shall in any manner be further encumbered, sold, transferred
or conveyed, or permitted to be further encumbered, sold, transferred, assigned
or conveyed without the prior consent of the Mortgagee, which consent in any and
all circumstances may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Mortgagee. The provisions of the foregoing sentence of this paragraph shall
apply to each and every such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or
conveyance, regardless of whether or not the Mortgagee has consented to, or
waived by its action or inaction its rights hereunder with respect to, any such
previous further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, and
irrespective of whether such further encumbrance, sale, transfer, assignment or
conveyance is voluntary, by reason of operation of law or is otherwise made.

      11.Notice. Any notice, request, demand, statement, authorization, approval
or consent made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered or
sent by Federal Express, or other reputable courier service, or by postage
pre-paid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be
deemed given (i) when received at the following addresses if hand delivered or
sent by Federal Express, or other reputable courier service, and (ii) three (3)
business days after being postmarked and addressed as follows if sent by

Mortgagee, be sold in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions
and in any order or manner.

      13.Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation. In the event of the passage after
the date of this Mortgage of any law of the State in which the Premises are
located deducting from the value of real property for the purpose of taxation
any lien or encumbrance thereon or changing in any way the laws for the taxation
of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages for state or local purposes or the
manner of the collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly
or indirectly, on this Mortgage, the Note or the Debt, the Mortgagor shall, if
permitted by law, pay any tax imposed as a result of any such law within the
statutory period or within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Mortgagee,
whichever is less.

      14.No Credits on Account of the Debt. The Mortgagor will not claim or
demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any
part of the Taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable value of
the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Mortgage or the
Debt.

      15.Other Security for the Debt. The Mortgagor shall observe and perform
all of the terms, covenants and provisions contained in the Note and in all
other mortgages and other instruments or documents evidencing, securing or
guaranteeing payment of the Debt, in whole or in part, or otherwise executed and
delivered in connection with the Note, this Mortgage or the loan evidenced and
secured thereby.

      16.Documentary Stamps. If at any time the United States of America, any
state thereof, or any governmental subdivision of any such state, shall require
revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, the
Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

      17.Right of Entry. The Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to
enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable
prior notice.

      18.Performance of Other Agreements. The Mortgagor shall observe and
perform each and every term to be observed or performed by the Mortgagor
pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or
pertaining to the Mortgaged Property.

      19.Events of Defaults. The Debt shall become due at the option of the
Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events
(collectively, "EVENTS OF DEFAULT"):
<PAGE>   10
         (a) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement;

         (b) if any representation or warranty in this Mortgage is false or
incorrect in any material respect or the Mortgagor fails to perform or fulfill
any covenant, condition or undertaking continued in this Mortgage; or

         (c) if the Mortgaged Property shall become subject (i) to any tax lien,
other than a lien for local real estate taxes and assessments not due and
payable, or (ii) to any lis pendens, notice of pendency, stop order, notice of
intention to file mechanic's or materialman's lien, mechanic's or materialman's
lien or other lien of any nature whatsoever and the same shall not either be
discharged of record or in the alternative insured over to the satisfaction of
the Mortgagee by the title company insuring the lien of this Mortgage within a
period of ten (10) days after the same is filed or recorded, and irrespective of
whether the same is superior or subordinate in lien or other priority to the
lien of this Mortgage and irrespective of whether the same constitutes a
perfected or inchoate lien or encumbered on the Mortgaged Property or is only a
matter of record or notice.

To the extent any of the above provisions conflict with the Purchase Agreement,
the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall control. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, the Mortgagee may commence an action to foreclose this
Mortgage and/or exercise any and all other rights contained in this Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity to enforce its rights.

      20.Right to Cure Defaults. If default in the performance of any of the
covenants of the Mortgagor herein occurs, the Mortgagee may, at its discretion,
remedy the same and for such purpose shall have the right to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof without thereby becoming liable to the
Mortgagor or any person in possession thereof holding under the Mortgagor. If
the Mortgagee shall remedy such a default or appear in, defend, or bring any
action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property or to
foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt, the costs and expenses thereof
(including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with
interest as provided in this paragraph, shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee upon demand and shall constitute part of the Debt secured by this
Mortgage. All such costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in remedying
such default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or
proceeding shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee upon demand, with
interest (calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year) at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

      21.Appointment of Receiver. The Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this
Mortgage or upon the actual or threatened waste to any part of the Mortgaged
Property or upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, shall be at liberty,
without notice, to apply for the appointment of a receiver of the Rents, and
shall be entitled to the appointment of such receiver as a matter of right,
without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Debt,
or the solvency or insolvency of any person then liable for the payment of the
Debt.

      22.Non-Waiver. The failure of the Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance of any term of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall not be relieved of the
Mortgagor's obligation to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided
for its payment in the Note and this Mortgage by reason of (i) failure of the
Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Mortgagor to take any action to
foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of
the Note or any other mortgage, instrument or document evidencing, securing or
guaranteeing payment of the Debt or any portion thereof, (ii) the release,
regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property
or any other security for the Debt, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation
between the Mortgagee and any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged
Property or other person extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or
supplementing the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or any other mortgage,
instrument or document evidencing, securing or guaranteeing
<PAGE>   11
payment of the Debt or any portion thereof, without first having obtained the
consent of the Mortgagor, and in the latter event, the Mortgagor shall continue
to be obligated to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the
Note and this Mortgage, as so extended, modified and supplemented, unless
expressly released and discharged from such obligation by the Mortgagee in
writing. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice
to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title
or interest in or to the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagee may release any
person at any time liable for the payment of the Debt or any portion thereof or
any part of the security held for the Debt and may extend the time of payment or
otherwise modify the terms of the Note or this Mortgage, including, without
limitation, a modification of the interest rate payable on the principal balance
of the Note, without in any manner impairing or affecting this Mortgage or the
lien thereof or the priority of this Mortgage, as so extended and modified, as
security for the Debt over any such subordinate lien, encumbrance, right, title
or interest. The Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its
discretion, may elect. The Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any
portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the
right of the Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The Mortgagee
shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but
shall be entitled to every additional right and remedy now or hereafter afforded
by law. The rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate,
distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the
others. No act of the Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed
under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

      23.Liability. If the Mortgagor consists of more than one person, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and
several.

      24.Construction. The terms of this Mortgage shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

      25.Security Agreement. This Mortgage constitutes both a real property
mortgage and a "security agreement", within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code, and the Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal
property and all other rights and interest, whether tangible or intangible in
nature, of the Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor by executing
and delivering this Mortgage has granted to the Mortgagee, as security for the
Debt, a security interest in the Equipment. If an Event of Default occurs under
the Purchase Agreement or this Mortgage, the Mortgagee, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Equipment or
any part thereof, and to take such other measures as the Mortgagee may deem
necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Equipment. Upon
request or demand of the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble
the Equipment and make it available to the Mortgagee at a convenient place
acceptable to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee on demand
any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or
paid by the Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Equipment and in
enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Equipment. Any notice of
sale, disposition or other intended action by the Mortgagee with respect to the
Equipment sent to the Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of this
Mortgage at least seven (7) days prior to the date of any such sale, disposition
or other action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Mortgagor, and the
method of sale or disposition or other intended action set forth or specified in
such notice shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable within
the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code unless objected to in writing by the
Mortgagor within five (5) days after receipt by the Mortgagor of such notice.
The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Equipment, or any part thereof,
may be applied by the Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such order,
priority and proportions as the Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper.
<PAGE>   12
      26.Further Acts, etc. The Mortgagor will, at the cost of the Mortgagor,
and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all
and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices
of assignments, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall, from time to
time, require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and
confirming unto the Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged or
intended now or hereafter so to be, or which the Mortgagor may be or may
hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or for carrying out
the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or
for filing, registering or recording this mortgage and, on demand, will execute
and deliver and hereby authorizes the Mortgagee to execute in the name of the
Mortgagor to the extent the Mortgagee may lawfully do so, one or more financing
statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to evidence
more effectively the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property.

      27.Headings, etc. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this
Mortgage are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as
defined or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

      28.Filing of Mortgage, etc. The Mortgagor forthwith upon the execution and
delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this
Mortgage, and any security instrument creating a lien or evidencing the lien
hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each instrument of further assurance to
be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be
required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to
protect, preserve and perfect the lien hereof upon, and the interest of the
Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor will pay all filing,
registration and recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation,
execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto,
any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and any
instrument of further assurance, and all Federal, state, county and municipal
taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental
hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any
instrument of further assurance. The Mortgagor shall hold harmless and indemnify
the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by
reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this
Mortgage.

      29.Usury Laws. This Mortgage and the Note are subject to the express
condition that at no time shall the Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay
interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could
subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result
of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Mortgagor is permitted
by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Mortgage or the
Note, the Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the
principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate,
the rate of interest under the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum
rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be
applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal
balance of the Note.

      30.Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. The Mortgagee shall have the
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by the Mortgagor existing at the time such
earlier action was commenced.
<PAGE>   13
      31.Authority. The Mortgagor (and the undersigned representative of the
Mortgagor, if any) has full power, authority and legal right to execute this

in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged
Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the
Mortgagor, which the Mortgagee, in its discretion, feels should be brought to
protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property.

Mortgage shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
this Mortgage shall be construed without such provision.
