         SECTION 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assigns to Lender Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower
that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an
assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of
this Section 1.2 and Section 3.7, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license
to collect and receive the Rents. Borrower shall hold a portion of the Rents
sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt for use in the payment
of such sums.

         SECTION 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real
property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument,
Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Debt, a security interest
in any of the Property that is deemed to be personal property to the full extent
that such property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code. This Security
Instrument

                                       5

<PAGE>

shall be and is intended to serve as a financing statement under the Uniform
Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property, and when filed shall
serve as a financing statement for all intents and purposes thereunder. Borrower
authorizes Lender to file financing statements describing the Personal Property.
Lender shall be entitled to all rights and remedies of a "secured party" under
the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon its recording in the real property records,
this Security Instrument shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a
fixture filing and when filed shall serve as a financing statement for all
intents and purposes thereunder. For purposes of this filing, Borrower is the
record owner of the Property. The name and mailing address of Borrower, as
debtor, and the name and mailing address of Lender, as secured party, from which
information concerning this Financing Statement may be obtained, are set forth
in the Preamble of this Security Instrument. The Borrower shall immediately
advise the Lender in writing of the opening of any new place of business or the
closing of any of its existing places of business, or of any change in the
location of the chief executive office of Borrower, or the state of Borrower's
organization, or Borrower's exact legal name, or the places where the Personal
Property, or any part thereof, or the books and records concerning the Personal
Property, or any part thereof, are kept.

         If any of the Property is deemed to be personal property, this Security
Instrument shall also constitute a security agreement with respect to such
personal property executed by Borrower as debtor in favor of Lender as Secured
Party. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to
and not in derogation of any other rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan
Documents or applicable law, in accordance with Section 9-501(4) or 9-604 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, or other such provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code, elect (i) to proceed under and have all the rights and remedies
of a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and any other
applicable law, or (ii) to proceed as to both the real property and the personal
property in accordance with Lender's rights and remedies in respect of the real
property encumbered by this Security Instrument, whereupon at any foreclosure
sale conducted pursuant to this Security Instrument may offer the real and
personal property together as part of the same sale, with bids to be taken on
the whole of the real and personal property rather than separately.

         SECTION 1.4 PLEDGE OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender
any and all items and monies now or hereafter held by Lender including any sums
deposited in escrow including in the Escrow Fund as additional security for the
Debt until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

         SECTION 1.5 COMMON LAW PLEDGE/ASSIGNMENT. To the extent that the
Uniform Commercial Code does not apply to any item of the Personal Property, it
is the intention of this Security Instrument that Lender have a common law
pledge and/or collateral assignment of such item of Personal Property.

                               CONDITIONS TO GRANT

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and
to the use and benefit of Lender, and the successors and assigns of Lender,
forever;

                                        6

<PAGE>

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that,
if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided in the Loan Documents, and shall abide by and comply with each
and every covenant and condition set forth in the Loan Documents, these presents
and the estate hereby granted shall terminate.

days prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance at Borrower's
sole cost and expense.

         (c)      Compliance With Insurance Requirements. Borrower shall comply
with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be
brought or kept any Article upon any of the Property or cause or permit any
condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance
requirement, or would invalidate the insurance coverage required hereunder to be
maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant
to this Section 3.3.

         (d)      Restoration. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice
of such damage to Lender and provided that Borrower shall have received the Net
Proceeds, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the
completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible
to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other
casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the "RESTORATION")
and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument.

         (e)      Blanket Insurance Policies. The insurance coverage required
under Section 3.3(a) may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering
the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the
security hereunder; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify, except
in the case of public liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of
such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sub-limit in such blanket
policy applicable to the Property, and shall in any case comply in all other
respects with the requirements of this Section 3.3. Lender may make such other
requirements with respect to blanket insurance as Lender may deem appropriate or
desirable from time to time.

         (f)      Absolute Transfer On Foreclosure. In the event of a
foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the
Property extinguishing the Debt or the lien of this Security Instrument, all
right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies then in
force shall pass to and are hereby assigned by Borrower to the purchaser or
grantee.

         SECTION 3.4 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC.

         (a)      Borrower shall pay by their due date all taxes, assessments,
water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges,
including, without limitation, vault charges

                                       10

<PAGE>

and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the
Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any
part thereof (the "TAXES"), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar
charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or
any part thereof (the "OTHER CHARGES"), and all charges for utility services
provided to the Property as same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver
to Lender, promptly upon Lender's request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that
the Taxes, Other Charges, and utility service charges have been so paid or are
not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be
paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien
or charge against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all
Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid
receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the
same shall become delinquent.

         (b)      After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or
application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security
Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so
under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure Debt
affecting the Property (it not being implied by this clause that any such
encumbrance will be permitted), (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the
collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall
have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other
instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein
will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (vi)
Borrower shall have set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes,
together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all
of the Taxes under protest, and (vii) Borrower shall have furnished the security
as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by
Lender to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest
and penalties thereon, taking into consideration the amount in the Escrow Fund
available for payment of Taxes.

         SECTION 3.5 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. At the option of the Lender,
Lender may require Borrower to establish an Escrow Fund sufficient to discharge
its obligations for the payment of Insurance Premiums and Taxes one month prior
to their due dates pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. Initial deposits of
Taxes and Insurance Premiums shall be made by Borrower to Lender in amounts
determined by Lender in its discretion on the date hereof to be held by Lender
in escrow. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each
calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the
Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable one month prior to the due
dates established by the appropriate taxing authority during the next ensuing
twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to
pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the
Policies one month prior to the expiration thereof (the initial deposits
together with the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "ESCROW
FUND"). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the
amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance
Premiums of which it has

                                       11

<PAGE>

obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for
Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate tax authority. The Escrow
Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the
Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower
to Lender. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event
of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance
Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower
by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums
required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the
amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof Lender shall, in its
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future
payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may
deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the
Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a)
and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount
which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency.
The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with
other monies held by Lender. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, no
earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.

         SECTION 3.6 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in
connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings
to the extent permitted by law. Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments
requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense,
diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its
attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of
any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided
for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall
not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually
received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection,
to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to
receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the
Note. Borrower shall cause any award or payment payable to Borrower in any
condemnation to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall apply any such award or
payment (after deducting any expenses of collection) to the reduction or
discharge of the Debt (whether or not then due and payable). No Prepayment
Consideration (as defined in the Note) shall be payable solely in connection
with such application; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if
an Event of Default is existing as of the date of the condemnation, or an event
has occurred as of the date of the condemnation that with notice and/or the
passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, then
any condemnation awards or proceeds applied to the Debt pursuant to this Section
shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Note)
computed in accordance with the terms of the Note. If the Property or any
portion thereof is taken by the power of eminent domain, Borrower shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the restoration of the Property in accordance
with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or
payment, Lender shall

                                       12

<PAGE>

have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion
thereof sufficient to fully satisfy the Debt.

         SECTION 3.7 LEASES AND RENTS. Borrower shall comply at all times with
that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date herewith executed by
Borrower in favor of Lender, which is incorporated herein by this reference as
though fully set forth herein.

         SECTION 3.8 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property
to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and
the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered
(unless such Personal Property is replaced with personal property of equal or
better quality) without the consent of Lender. Borrower shall promptly repair,
replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any
casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any
proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.6 hereof and shall complete
and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair
on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to
any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or
private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the
Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of
all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use,
Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use or Improvement to be
discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

         SECTION 3.9 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the
Property ("waste" meaning the diminution in the Property's value resulting from
Borrower's negligent or willful failure to manage, maintain, repair and
otherwise operate the Property in a commercially reasonable manner) or make any
change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the
risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or
take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any
Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair
the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or
exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the
surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the
method of mining or extraction thereof.

         SECTION 3.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

         (a)      Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future
federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and
regulations or court orders affecting the Property and the use thereof
("APPLICABLE LAW").

         (b)      Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender's request,
provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property
complies with all Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable
Laws.

         (c)      Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any
document regarding Lender's approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower
shall not alter the Property in any

                                       13

<PAGE>

manner that would materially increase Borrower's responsibilities for compliance
with Applicable Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. Lender's
approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of
the Property shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for
their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable
Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower
or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of
a certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent architect,
engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender.

         (d)      Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by
Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the
commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance
with Applicable Laws.

         (e)      After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the Applicable Laws affecting
the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Loan
Documents; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other
mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure Debt affecting the Property; (iii)
such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither the Property nor any part thereof
or interest therein nor any of the tenants or occupants thereof shall be
affected in any material adverse way as a result of such proceeding; and (v)
Borrower shall have furnished to Lender all other items reasonably requested by
Lender.

         SECTION 3.11 BOOKS AND RECORDS.

         (a)      Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in

the Property.

         (c)      Immediately upon Borrower's receipt of such information, but
in no event less frequently than annually, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, in

Borrower pursuant to such tenant's Lease or otherwise.

         (d)      Upon reasonable request from Lender, Borrower and its
Affiliates shall furnish to Lender:

                  (i)      a property management report for the Property,
showing the number of inquiries made and/or rental applications received from
tenants or prospective tenants and deposits received from tenants and any other
information requested by Lender, in reasonable detail and certified by Borrower
under penalty of perjury to be true and complete, but no more frequently than
quarterly; and

                  (ii)     an accounting of all security deposits held in

pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically

an individual, Borrower's corporate, partnership or other structure, or its
state of organization, without notifying the Lender of such change in writing at
least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the
case of a change in Borrower's structure, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of the Lender.

         SECTION 3.15 EXISTENCE. Borrower shall continuously maintain (a) its
existence and shall not dissolve or permit its dissolution, (b) its rights to do

shareholder, director, officer, partner, member, employee, supplier, customer or
Affiliates;

                  (ii)     Borrower shall not take any action which, under the
terms of its articles of organization, operating agreement or other
organizational documents, requires the written consent of each Independent
Manager without obtaining the written consent of each Independent Manager.

         (e)      The organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that,
as long as any Debt remains outstanding, upon the occurrence of any event that
causes the sole member of Borrower to cease to be a member of Borrower (other
than (i) upon an assignment by such member of all of its limited liability
company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, if permitted
pursuant to the organizational documents of Borrower and the Loan Documents, or
(ii) the resignation of such member and the admission of an additional member of
Borrower, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of Borrower and
the Loan Documents), the person acting as one of the Independent Managers of
Borrower shall, without any action of any person or entity and simultaneously
with the sole member of Borrower ceasing to be a member of Borrower,
automatically be admitted as the sole member of Borrower (the "SPECIAL MEMBER")
and shall preserve and continue the existence of Borrower without dissolution.
The organizational documents of Borrower shall further provide that for so long
as any Debt is outstanding, no Special Member may resign or transfer its rights
as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to
Borrower as a Special Member, and (ii) such successor Special Member has also

         (f)      Definitions. As used in this Section, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth herein:

                  (i)      "AFFILIATE" means a person or entity that directly or
indirectly (through one or more intermediaries) controls, is controlled by, or
is under common control of or with, the person or entity specified; and

                  (ii)     "CONTROL" means (A) whether directly or indirectly,

<PAGE>

persons exercising similar functions) of such entity, or (C) the possession of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and/or policies of
such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or

         (g)      Injunctive Relief. Borrower by execution of this Security
Instrument acknowledge and agree with Lender that Lender would be irreparably
damaged if any of the covenants of this Section 4.3 are breached or not
performed in accordance with their specific terms and that monetary damages
would not provide an adequate remedy in such event. Accordingly, it is agreed
that, in addition to any other remedy to which Lender may be entitled, at law or
in equity, Lender shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or remedy
breaches of the provisions of this Section 4.3 and specifically to enforce the
terms and provisions of this Section 4.3 in any action instituted in any court
of the United States or any state thereof having subject matter jurisdiction
thereof.

         SECTION 4.4 RESTORATION AFTER CASUALTY. In the event of a casualty, the
following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the
Property:

         (a)      If (i) the Net Proceeds do not exceed $30,000.00 ("CASUALTY
AMOUNT"), (ii) the costs of completing the Restoration as reasonably estimated
by Borrower shall be less than or equal to the Casualty Amount, (iii) no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, this Security
Instrument or any other Loan Document, (iv) the Property and the use thereof
after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all
applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without
limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws, and (v) such fire or other
casualty does not materially impair access to the Property or the Improvements,
then the Net Proceeds will be disbursed directly to Borrower and Borrower shall
commence and diligently prosecute to completion, the Restoration of the Property
to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire
or other casualty or to such taking. Except upon the occurrence and continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall settle any insurance claims with respect
to the Net Proceeds that in the aggregate are less than or equal to the Casualty
Amount. Lender shall have the right to participate in and reasonably approve any
settlement for insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds that in the
aggregate are equal to or greater than the Casualty Amount. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably
empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and to make
receipt for any such payment. If the Net Proceeds are received by Borrower, such
Net Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related work, be held in trust
for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to
pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.

         (b)      If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Casualty Amount, such
Net Proceeds shall, subject to the provisions of the Leases that are superior to
the lien of this Security Instrument or with respect to which subordination,
non-disturbance agreements binding upon Lender have been entered into concerning
the deposits of Net Proceeds, be forthwith paid to Lender to be held by Lender
in a segregated account to be made available to Borrower for the Restoration in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b). Borrower shall
commence and diligently prosecute to completion, the Restoration. The term "NET
PROCEEDS" for purposes of this Section 4.4 shall mean the net amount of all
insurance proceeds under the

                                       21

<PAGE>

Policies carried pursuant to Subsections 3.3(a)(i) (Property Insurance), (ii)
(Business Interruption), (iii) (Boiler and Machinery), (iv) (Builder's Risk),
(v) (Ordinance/Law Coverage), and (vi) (Personal Property) of this Security
Instrument as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of
Borrower's reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to
reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same.

                  (i)      The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower
for payment of, or reimbursement of Borrower's reasonable and customary expenses
in connection with, the Restoration, subject to the following conditions:

                           (A)      no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument, or any other Loan
Document;

                           (B)      Lender shall, within a reasonable period of
time prior to request for initial disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of
the cost of the Restoration accompanied by an independent architect's
certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and specifications for the
Restoration, which plans and specifications shall be subject to Lender's
approval;

                           (C)      the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or
cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender, are sufficient to cover the
cost of the Restoration as such costs are certified by the independent
architect;

                           (D)      less than fifty percent (50%) of the total
floor area of the Improvements has been damaged or destroyed or rendered
unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty;

                           (E)      Lender shall be satisfied that any operating
deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the
Note that will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the
occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may
be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, or (2) other funds of Borrower;

                           (F)      Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the
completion of the Restoration and related lease-up, if applicable, the net cash
flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all
carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without
limitation, debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (after deducting
replacement reserve requirements and reserves for tenant improvements and
leasing commissions from net operating income) equal to or greater than the
coverage ratio calculated and assumed by Lender in connection with the
origination of the Loan or, if lower, the coverage ratio that existed as of the
date immediately preceding such casualty;

                           (G)      the Restoration can reasonably be completed
on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity
Date (as defined in the Note), (2) the earliest date required for such
completion under the terms of any Leases and (3) such time as may be required
under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair
and restore the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in
immediately prior to such casualty;

                                       22

<PAGE>

                           (H)      the Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable
zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation,
all applicable Environmental Laws); and

                           (I)      such casualty does not materially impair
post-Restoration access to the Land or the Improvements.

                  (ii)     The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender, and until
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), shall
constitute additional security for the obligations. The Net Proceeds other than
the Net Proceeds paid under the Policy described in Subsection 3.3(a)(ii)
(Business Interruption) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by,
Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and
labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in
full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or
materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the
Restoration that have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or
in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title
company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.

                  (iii)    Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in
connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors
and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which
they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by
Lender and an independent consulting engineer, architect, or other expert
selected by Lender (the "CASUALTY CONSULTANT"), such acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including,
without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

                  (iv)     In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs
actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty
Retainage. The term "CASUALTY RETAINAGE" as used in this Subsection 4.4(b) shall
mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as
part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant. The Casualty
Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above in this Subsection 4.4(b), be less than the amount actually held
back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b) and that all approvals
necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from
all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have
been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage,
provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty
Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or

                                       23

<PAGE>

materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in
accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or
materialman's contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If
required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage
shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

                  (v)      Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements
of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

                  (vi)     If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed
balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in
full the balance of the costs that are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to
be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall
deposit the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY") with Lender before any
further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds
Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed
for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same
conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so
disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(b) shall constitute additional
security for the obligations.

                  (vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender
after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), and the
receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan
Document.

         (c)      All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant
to Subsection 4.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the
payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the sole
discretion of Lender, the same shall be paid, either in whole or in part, to
Borrower. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this
Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount received and retained by
Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

                    ARTICLE 6 - DEBTOR/CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP

         SECTION 6.1 RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The relationship
between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender
has no fiduciary

                                       28

<PAGE>

or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of
the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents shall be construed so
as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of
debtor and creditor.

                         ARTICLE 7 - FURTHER ASSURANCES

         SECTION 7.1 RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower forthwith
upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from
time to time, shall cause this Security Instrument and any of the Loan Documents
creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the
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 and perfect the
lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the
Property. Borrower shall pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees,
and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or
recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the Loan Documents, any note or
mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or
amendment of the foregoing documents, 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 Security Instrument, any
mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or
amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

         SECTION 7.2 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower shall, at the cost of Borrower,
and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring,
and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged, granted,
bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or
may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out
the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security
Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or
for complying with all Applicable Laws. Borrower, on demand, shall execute and
deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower, or
without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one
or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to
evidence or perfect more effectively the security interest of Lender in the
Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled
with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights
and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 7.2 or Section 7.1.

         SECTION 7.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS.

         (a)      If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of
this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property
for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or
indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower shall pay
the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is

                                       29

<PAGE>

advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be
unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a
defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not
less than ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

         (b)      Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other
Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction
shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security
Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by
law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety
(90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

         (c)      If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof
or any subdivision of any such State or other governmental authorities shall
require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security
Instrument, or any of the Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on
the same, Borrower shall pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon,
if any.

         SECTION 7.4 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

         (a)      Within ten days after any request by Lender, Borrower shall
furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified in such form as
Lender may reasonably request, setting forth (i) the original principal amount
of the applicable Note, (ii) the then current unpaid principal balance of the
applicable Note, (iii) the then applicable rate of interest on the applicable
Note, (iv) the date the most recent installment of interest and/or principal
under the applicable Note was paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the payment
of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Note, this Security Instrument and the
other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and
have not been modified or amended (or, if so, giving the particulars of such
modifications or amendments).

         (b)      Within ten days after any request by Lender, Borrower shall
furnish Lender with estoppel certificates from any tenants of the Property
(other than tenants under Residential Leases) in such form and containing such
information as Lender may reasonably require.

         SECTION 7.5 FLOOD INSURANCE. Within fifteen (15) days after Lender's
request, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender that no portion
of the Improvements is situated in a federally designated "special flood hazard
area" or, if it is, that Borrower has obtained insurance meeting the
requirements of Section 3.3(a)(i).

         SECTION 7.6 SPLITTING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT. This Security Instrument
and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and
satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more
notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a
portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end,
Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount secured by this

                                       30

<PAGE>

Security Instrument, and containing terms, provisions and clauses no less
favorable to Borrower than those contained herein and in the Note, and such
other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender to effect the
splitting of the Note and this Security Instrument.

         SECTION 7.7 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note
or any Loan Document that is not of public record, and, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or Loan Document,
Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or Loan Document,
dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or Loan
Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

         SECTION 7.8 AMENDED FINANCING STATEMENTS. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of
any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required
by the Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of
the security interest granted herein. At the request of the Lender, Borrower
shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to the Lender listing the trade
names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and
warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to
the Property.

             ARTICLE 8 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE/CHANGE IN BORROWER

         SECTION 8.1 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE/CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP WITHOUT CONSENT.
Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the
creditworthiness and experience of Borrower and Guarantor (if any) and
Indemnitor (if any) in agreeing to make the Loan secured hereby. Borrower agrees
that Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which may
be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, do or permit any of
the following (hereinafter any of the following is sometimes referred to as a
"TRANSFER"): sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign,
or otherwise transfer the Property or any part thereof or interest therein
(legal or equitable) or permit the Property or any part thereof to be sold,
conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise transferred. A "Transfer" within the meaning of this Article 8 shall
be deemed to include (a) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees
to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments;
(b) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property
for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale,
assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in,
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (c) if
Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor, or any general partner or managing
member (or if no managing member, any member) of Borrower, Guarantor or
Indemnitor is an entity (including a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, or trust) rather than an individual, a transaction or series of
transactions involving (i) the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial
ownership interests or (ii) the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance,
transfer or pledge, by operation of law or otherwise, of legal or beneficial
ownership interests in such entity or the legal or beneficial ownership
interests in any entity that directly or indirectly controls such Borrower,
Guarantor or Indemnitor pursuant to which transaction or series of transactions
any of such entity's legal or beneficial ownership interests shall become vested
in a party or parties who are not now owners of such entity's legal or
beneficial ownership interests as of the date of this

                                       31

<PAGE>

Security Instrument; (d) if Borrower, any Guarantor or Indemnitor or any general
partner or managing member (or if no managing member, any member) of Borrower,
any Guarantor or Indemnitor is a limited or general partnership or joint
venture, the change, removal or resignation of a general partner or the transfer
or pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or
proceeds relating to such partnership interest, and (e) if Borrower, any
Guarantor, any Indemnitor or any general partner or member of Borrower, any
Guarantor or any Indemnitor is a limited liability company, the change, removal
or resignation of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) or
the transfer of the membership interest of a managing member (or if no managing
member, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such membership
interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transfer by devise or descent or by
operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or stockholder of
Borrower, any Guarantor or Indemnitor or any member or general partner thereof
shall not be deemed to be a "Transfer" within the meaning of this Article 8. As
used herein, the term "ownership interest" includes stock, partnership
interests, membership or other interests in limited liability companies, and
beneficial interests or other interests in trusts.

         SECTION 8.2 CONDITIONS TO LENDER'S CONSENT. Unless expressly waived in
writing by Lender at the time of the Transfer or other express written waiver by
Lender, Lender's prior written consent shall be given only upon the satisfaction
of all of the following minimum conditions: (i) Lender has received Borrower's
written request for a Transfer and Lender shall have expressly approved such
request in writing subject to the satisfaction of all requirements hereunder;
(ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) the proposed new
owner/assignee (the "NEW BORROWER") meets all of the Lender's Underwriting
Standards; (iv) the Property meets all of the Lender's Underwriting Standards
related to its financial condition, cash flow, operating income, physical
condition, management and operation; (v) Borrower reimburses Lender for all
underwriting costs incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer
(including without limitation, engineering and/or architect's fees,
environmental studies, title searches, credit checks, attorney fees), whether or
not any requested Transfer is approved or consummated; (vi) Borrower remits to
Lender an assumption fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the outstanding
balance of the Debt as of the date of such Transfer; and (vii) the execution by
New Borrower of an assumption agreement and other documents required by Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion. "LENDER'S UNDERWRITING STANDARDS" shall
mean the actual commercial loan underwriting standards of KeyBank National
Association (or any successor entity that is then servicing the Loan) in effect
at the time of the proposed Transfer, or, if no such standards exist, such
standards which are then customary for a commercial lender in connection with a
mortgage loan of the size and type of the Borrower's loan from Lender secured
hereby.

         Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of
its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the
Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender's consent.

         The provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to every Transfer
regardless of whether voluntary or not or whether or not Lender has consented to
any previous Transfer.

         (i)      if (i) Borrower or any Guarantor or Indemnitor shall commence

         (k)      the Property becomes subject to any mechanic's, materialman's

then due and payable), and such lien shall remain undischarged of record (by
payment, bonding or otherwise) for a period of thirty (30) calendar days;

         (l)      Borrower fails to promptly and diligently cure any material

Security Instrument or any Loan Document to the payment of the following items
in any order in its sole and absolute discretion:

                  (i)      Taxes and Other Charges;

                  (ii)     Insurance Premiums;

                  (iii)    Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note;

                  (iv)     amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the
Note; and all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument
and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, advances made by Lender
pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument;

                                       36
<PAGE>

         (k)      surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to Article 3
hereof, collect the unearned Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit
on the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender in its discretion shall
deem proper, and in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as
agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore
irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such Insurance Premiums;

         (l)      apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds or any Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of
the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be
appropriate in its discretion; or

         (m)      pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable
law.

         In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of
less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien
and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and
without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.1 to
the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in Subsection 10.1(i)(i) or
(ii) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable,
without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.

         SECTION 11.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and
avails of any disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other
sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the
Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such
priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.

         SECTION 11.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice
to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation
hereunder, cure the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem
necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the
Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or
proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security
Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this Section 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or
bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate
(as defined in the Note), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost
or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and
expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the
Default Rate (as defined in the Note) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of
the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents and
shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

         SECTION 11.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender has the right to appear in and
defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to
bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Property.

                                       37
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender 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 Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for
a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.

         SECTION 11.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lender, its agents,
accountants and attorneys shall have the right upon prior written notice to
examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower and its
affiliates or of any Guarantor or Indemnitor which reflect upon their financial
condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower,
its affiliates or any Guarantor or Indemnitor where the books and records are
located. Lender and its agents shall have the right upon notice to make copies
and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, Lender,
its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit
the books and records of Borrower and its affiliates or of any Guarantor or
Indemnitor pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property
during reasonable business hours at any office of Borrower, its affiliates or
any Guarantor or Indemnitor where the books and records are located.

         SECTION 11.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC.

         (a)      The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any
term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security
Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder
by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower,
any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take any action to foreclose this Security
Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or
the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole
or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion
thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of
payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this
Security Instrument or the Loan Documents.

         (b)      It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property
is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in
value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to
determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks
insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial
relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any
Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.

         (c)      Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under
this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none
shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the
exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the
rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and
remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

                                       38
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may
release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require
without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting
the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Property.

         SECTION 11.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in compliance
with Applicable Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in
connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or
financial equivalents.

         SECTION 11.10 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the
right upon prior written notice to enter and inspect the Property at all
reasonable times upon notice to Borrower.

         SECTION 11.11 RIGHTS PERTAINING TO SALES. The following provisions
shall, to the extent permitted by law, apply to any sale or sales of all or any
portion of the Property under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, whether
under any power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or
of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:

         (a)      The public officer or other person conducting such sale
(herein called the "Sale Officer") may conduct any number of sales from time to
time. The power of sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more of such sales
as to any part of the Property that has not been sold or by any sale that is not
completed or is defective until the Debt has been paid in full.

         (b)      Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement
at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned
sale, and such sale may be completed at the time and place so announced without
further notice.

         (c)      Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Borrower, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Borrower's name and stead, to make all
necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and
rights so sold, and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary
instruments to accomplish the same, and may substitute one or more persons with
like power, and Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney or
such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof.
Nevertheless, Borrower, if requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any
such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender or such purchaser or
purchasers, as applicable, all such instruments as may be advisable, in Lender's
judgment, for the purposes designated in such request.

         (d)      Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any
of the instruments referred to in Subsection 11.11(c) given by Lender concerning
nonpayment of the Debt, occurrence of any Event of Default, any declaration by
Lender that all or any of the Debt is due and payable, any request to sell, any
representation that notice of time, place and terms of sale

                                       39
<PAGE>

and property or rights to be sold was duly given, or that any other act or thing
was duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of
the facts so stated and recited.

         (e)      The receipt by Sale Officer of the purchase money paid at any
such sale, or the receipt of any other person authorized to give the same, shall
be sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or rights sold
as aforesaid, and no purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or assigns,
after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to
see to the application of such purchase price or any part thereof upon or for
any trust or purpose of this Security Instrument or, in any manner whatsoever,
be answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such
purchase money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization,
necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.

         (f)      Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the
estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or
in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be
a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and any and all
persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or
under Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

         (g)      Upon any such sale or sales, Lender may bid for and acquire
the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the
purchase price by crediting against the Debt the amount of the bid made
therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any
enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums that Lender is authorized to
charge to Borrower under the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument, or any
other Loan Document to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.

         (h)      If Borrower, or any person claiming by, through or under
Borrower, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the
Property after any sale thereof, then Borrower or such person shall be deemed a
tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction by means
of unlawful detainer proceedings or other appropriate proceedings, and to any
other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.

         (i)      Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Sale
Officer, Lender or any public officer acting under execution or order of court
to have present or constructively in its possession any or all of the Property.

         (j)      In the event of any sale referred to in this Subsection 11.11,
the entire Debt, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note, this Security Instrument
or any other Loan Document, become due and payable.

         (k)      This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage. If a sale
hereunder shall be commenced by Sale Officer, Lender may, at any time before the
sale of the Property, direct the Sale Officer to abandon the sale, and may
institute suit for the collection of the Debt or part thereof and for the
foreclosure of this Security Instrument. If Lender shall institute suit for the
collection of the Debt or part thereof, and for the foreclosure of this Security
Instrument, Lender may at any time before the entry of final judgment in said
suit dismiss the same (or part thereof) and direct the Sale Officer to sell the
Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security

                                       40
<PAGE>

Instrument. Lender may pursue its rights and remedies against any guarantor or
other party liable for any of the obligations in such a suit for foreclosure or
by separate suit, whether or not the Sale Officer is also pursuing a sale under
the terms hereof.

Instrument shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the state where the Land is located without regard to the conflicts
of law provisions thereof ("GOVERNING STATE"). Borrower hereby consents to
personal jurisdiction in the Governing State. JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY
ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE RELATIONSHIPS CREATED BY OR UNDER THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS ("ACTION") SHALL, AT THE ELECTION OF LENDER, BE IN (AND IF ANY
ACTION IS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IN ANOTHER VENUE, THE ACTION SHALL AT THE ELECTION
OF LENDER BE TRANSFERRED TO) A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF APPROPRIATE
JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE GOVERNING STATE. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND
SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS OF THE GOVERNING STATE
AND OF FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE GOVERNING STATE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTION AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
STATE TO OBJECT TO JURISDICTION WITHIN SUCH GOVERNING STATE FOR PURPOSES OF ANY
ACTION. Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert, as a defense to any
Action or a motion to transfer venue of any Action, (i) any claim that it is not

forum, or (iv) that the venue for the Action is in any way improper.

         SECTION 17.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or
required to pay interest on the Debt 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 Borrower is permitted by applicable law to
contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the
Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt
at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the
Security Instrument and 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

                                       48
<PAGE>

shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the
principal balance of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of
interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as
the Debt is outstanding.

         SECTION 17.3 PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers
and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of
law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not
render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be
recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.

         SECTION 17.4 INAPPLICABLE PROVISION. If any term of this Security
Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term, at
the option of Lender, shall not be affected thereby.

time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument, or any
other Loan Document, or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant
participations therein (the "PARTICIPATIONS") or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or
unrated public offering or private placement (the "SECURITIES"), Lender may
forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant,
investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or
Securities (collectively, the "INVESTOR") or any rating agency rating such
Securities and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which
Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower,
any Guarantor, any Indemnitors and the Property, which shall have been furnished
by Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitors, as Lender determines necessary or
desirable.

         SECTION 18.2 CONVERSION TO REGISTERED FORM. At the request of Lender,
Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the
"REGISTRAR") which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and
transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to
be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised
may not be revoked. Borrower's choice of Registrar and any agreement setting out
the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable
approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person
as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a
replacement Registrar. The costs and fees of the Registrar shall be borne by
Borrower and the Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Lender or any
other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and Security Instrument (other
than Taxes and governmental charges and fees).

                  reasonably satisfactory to Lender (which may include a legal
                  non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender) that the
                  single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower
                  following the Transfer satisfies the standards of the Rating
                  Agencies."

                  (b)      Lender's consent with respect to a New Borrower in
                  accordance with Section 8.2(iii) will not be unreasonably
                  withheld.

                  (c)      The word "reasonable" is inserted in Section 8.2(v)
                  between "all" and "underwriting" and "limitation," and
                  "engineering."

         SECTION 23.21 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding any provision in
Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 to the contrary:

         (a)      Up to 49% of the membership interests in Borrower (in the
                  aggregate) may be transferred to third parties without the
                  consent of Lender and without the application of the 1% fee
                  set forth in Section 8.2(vi) provided the following conditions
                  precedent are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default has occurred
                  and no event has occurred that with notice and/or the passage
                  of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default; (ii)
                  Lender has received

                                       59
<PAGE>

                  Borrower's notice of the Transfer no less than 15 days prior
                  to the commencement of the Transfer; (iii) no Indemnitor is
                  released from any guaranty or indemnity agreement by virtue of
                  the Transfer; (iv) Borrower is responsible for the reasonable
                  costs and expenses of documenting each Transfer; (v) Borrower
                  reimburses Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses
                  incurred by Lender in connection with the Transfer, whether
                  the Transfer is approved or consummated; (vi) Borrower
                  furnishes Lender with copies of any documentation executed in
                  connection with the Transfer promptly after execution thereof;
                  (vii) Borrower delivers satisfactory evidence to Lender that,
                  following the Transfer, Borrower will continue to comply with
                  the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof; and (viii) upon request
                  by Lender, Borrower delivers to Lender a substantive
                  non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender in its
                  discretion or an update to the opinion received as of the date
                  of this Security Instrument. Transfers to all other parties or
                  entities shall be subject to all conditions and requirements
                  set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof.

         (b)      Transfers of limited partnership interests in Glimcher
                  Properties Limited Partnership, and transfers and issuances of
                  stock of Glimcher Realty Trust may occur without Lender's
                  prior approval or Rating Agency Approval.

         SECTION 23.22  ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Section 12.1 is modified in the following manner:

         (a)      The following is inserted at the end of the definition of

applicable Property or each tenant's respective business at such Property as set

Lender in writing pursuant to the Environmental Reports."

         (b)      The definition of "Environmental Law" is modified by deleting

         (a)      The following is inserted at the beginning of Section 12.2(a):

         (b)      The words "there shall be no" at the beginning of Section

         (d)      The words "human health" in Section 12.2(h) between "to" and

<PAGE>

         SECTION 23.25 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Section 13.4 is modified
by inserting the following at the end thereof:

         "Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower's indemnities under this
Section shall not apply to: (i) events first occurring after the date that
Lender or any other Indemnified Party acquires the Property through a
foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure (collectively,
"FORECLOSURE") provided such event or condition is unrelated to any event or
condition which existed prior to such date; (ii) legal requirements which are
first enacted following the date of acquisition of the Property by an
Indemnified Party following a Foreclosure; or (iii) claims arising solely and
directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Lender."

         SECTION 23.26 SECONDARY MARKET. Section 18.1 of this Security
Instrument is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefore:

         (a)      TRANSFER OF LOAN. Lender may, at no cost to Borrower, at any
time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument, and the other
Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant
participations therein ("PARTICIPATIONS") or issue mortgage pass-through
certificates or other securities ("SECURITIES") evidencing a beneficial interest
in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a "SECURITIZATION").
Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer,
participant, or investor in such Participations or Securities (collectively, the
"INVESTOR") or any of Fitch IBCA, Inc., Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and S&P
or any successor thereto, and any other nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (each a "RATING AGENCY") rating such Securities, each prospective
Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and
performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which
Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower,
any Guarantor, any Indemnitor(s) and the Property, whether furnished by
Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor(s) or otherwise, as Lender determines
necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may
have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited
to any right of privacy.

         (b)      SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY. Lender shall have the
right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as hereinafter
defined) with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any
part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a
wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
(a "REMIC") within the meaning of Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have
the right to cause the Note and the Security Instrument to be split into a first
and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans secured by mortgages in
whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary
Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan
documentation. Borrower acknowledges that it is the intention of the parties
that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion
of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Borrower further
acknowledges that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy
issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, "Secondary Market
Transaction" means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or
any portion of the Debt or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or
more Investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more
participation interests in the Debt or Loan Documents to one or more Investors,
(iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Debt or Loan
Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell
certificates or other instruments to Investors evidencing an ownership interest
in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom
or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any
interest therein.
                                       61
<PAGE>

         (c)      COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. Borrower shall use all reasonable
efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any
such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall
include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments
to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of Borrower and its
general partner as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may
request, provided however, that no such amendment shall modify (i) the interest
rate payable under the Note (except as set forth in Section 18.1(e); (ii) the
stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount
of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Loan, (v) the
non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which
would materially increase Borrower's obligations or materially decrease
Borrower's rights under the Loan Documents. Such cooperation also shall include
using best efforts to obtain such certificates and assurances from governmental
entities and others as Lender may request. Borrower shall not be required to
provide additional collateral that was not initially contemplated by the parties
to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower shall
not be required to pay any third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise payable
by Borrower under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

         (d)      INFORMATION. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall
provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to
Borrower, its general partner, any Guarantor or Indemnitor, the Property and the
business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel
(including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as
Lender or any other Interested Party (as defined below) may reasonably request
(and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and each Interested
Party) in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including,
without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies,
environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), property
condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with
appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters
of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market
Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents
and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may
request or any purchaser; transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential
investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively,
"INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request. If requested by any Rating Agency
or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any
opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if
required new versions of such opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under
any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency
that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor
purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such
information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting
firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors,
servicers and other service providers and other parties involved in any proposed
Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower understands that any such information may
be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement,
private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary
Market Transaction. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and
professional firms and investors shall be entitled to rely upon such
information.

                                       62
<PAGE>

         (e)      SEVERANCE. In connection with any Secondary Market
Transaction, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender and at its sole cost and
expense (a) sever the Loan into two or more portions in such individual amounts
as Lender may determine, each of which portion shall be secured by a mortgage
lien on the Property or (b) sever the Loan into two or more tranches in such
individual amounts as Lender may determine (collectively, a "Conversion"). Any
such Conversion shall be evidenced by Lender's then standard form "A/B Loan" or
mortgage documentation, as applicable, and any such Conversion shall not
preclude any further Conversion or modification of the Loan by agreement of
Borrower and Lender. In the event any portion of the Loan is converted into an
"A/B Loan", the interest rate on any one or more components of the Loan may be
changed at Lender's request provided that the weighted average interest rate of
all components of the Loan shall in no event exceed the interest rate set forth
in the Note. Borrower shall cooperate with all of Lender's reasonable requests
made in connection with a Conversion and shall deliver such documents as Lender
may reasonably request in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
any opinion letters which Lender may reasonably request, all of which shall be
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. The aggregate of the
principal amount of all such portions shall in no event exceed the then
principal balance of the Loan."

         SECTION 23.27 MANAGEMENT. The Property shall be managed by either: (i)
Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower approved by Lender for so long as Borrower
or said Affiliate of Borrower possesses experience in managing and operating
commercial properties similar in size, scope, uses and value of the Property; or
(ii) a professional property management company approved by Lender. Management
by an Affiliate of Borrower or a professional property management company shall
be pursuant to a written agreement approved by Lender. In no event shall any
manager be removed or replaced or the terms of any management agreement modified
or amended without the prior written consent of Lender. If (1) an Event of
Default shall occur under any Loan Document or under any management contract
then in effect, which Event of Default is not cured within any applicable grace
or cure period, or (2) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any manager of the
property shall occur, Lender shall have the right to immediately terminate, or
to direct Borrower to immediately terminate, such manager and to retain, or to
direct Borrower to retain, a new manager approved by Lender. Lender's approval
of a replacement property manager shall not be unreasonably withheld provided
the proposed property manager is a Qualifying Manager (as hereinafter defined).
As used herein, "QUALIFYING MANAGER" means a reputable and experienced
management organization reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which organization or
its principals possess at least ten (10) years experience in managing commercial
properties similar in size, scope, use and value of the Property and which, on
the date Lender determines whether such management organization is a Qualifying
Manager, (i) manages an amount of square footage acceptable to lender of the
same property type as the property, and (ii) upon Lenders request, obtains prior
written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that management of the Property by
such entity will not cause a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the
then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the securitization.

         SECTION 23.28 IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPERTY. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, provided the following conditions are satisfied in Lender's
discretion, certain improvements (the "ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS") may be made to
the Property:

         (a)      The Additional Improvements are (i) limited to and in
                  accordance with the terms of the Lease ("GALYAN'S LEASE")
                  substantially in the form approved by Lender dated October 1,
                  2003, with Galyan's Trading Company, Inc. ("GALYAN'S"), and
                  (ii) limited to the construction of approximately 84,000
                  square feet of gross building area;

                                       63
<PAGE>

         (b)      The Galyan's Lease is in full force and effect;

         (c)      No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

         (d)      The Letter of Credit is in full force and effect;

         (e)      In connection with the Additional Improvements, Borrower is
                  not incurring any indebtedness in violation of the terms of
                  this Security Instrument;

         (f)      The Additional Improvements shall be fully completed in a
                  diligent and good and workmanlike manner in accordance with
                  all applicable laws and ordinances (including zoning);

         (g)      Upon completion of the Additional Improvements, the Property
                  continues to be in compliance with all applicable laws and
                  ordinances (including zoning);

         (h)      During the construction of the Additional Improvements,
                  Borrower shall, within ten Business Days of its receipt
                  thereof, provide Lender copies of each of the following
                  received from Galyan's: (i) certification from an architect
                  regarding the status of the Additional Improvements in
                  accordance with the Galyan's Lease; and (ii) copies lien
                  waivers from Galyan's general contractor;

         (i)      Upon completion of the Additional Improvements, Borrower shall
                  provide Lender (at Borrower's cost) an endorsement to the
                  mortgage title insurance policy issued to Lender updating the
                  effective date of the policy to a date after the completion of
                  the Additional Improvements and reflecting that no mechanic's
                  or other liens have been placed against the Property;

         (j)      If Lender reasonably determines that it is necessary, an
                  opinion of counsel shall be delivered to Lender indicating
                  that upon completion of the Additional Improvements, the Loan
                  will remain a "qualified mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of
                  the Internal Revenue Code; and

         (k)      Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any fees (including fees
                  for inspection, attorney's, engineer, architect, or inspector)
                  incurred by Lender in connection with the completion of the
                  Additional Improvements.

         SECTION 23.29 SUBORDINATION OF AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS. During the term of
the Loan, prior to entering into any contract or agreement with an Affiliate of
Borrower that affects the Property (the "AGREEMENT"), Borrower shall obtain an
agreement acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion from such Affiliate
stating that the Agreement and all claims such Affiliate may have against
Borrower on account of services or obligations to be performed by the Affiliate
under the Agreement shall be subordinated to the Note, this Security Instrument,
and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all indebtedness
and any interest, fees, costs or expenses thereon due or to become due to Lender
under the Note, Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document.
