         Capitalized terms used above and elsewhere in this Mortgage without
definition have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

         1.2      Secured Obligations.

                  (a)      Mortgagor makes the grant, conveyance, and mortgage
         set forth in Section 1.1 above, and grants the security interest set
         forth in Section 3 below for the purpose of securing the payment of all
         obligations at any time of Mortgagor under that certain Subsidiary
         Guaranty dated October 17, 2003, executed by the Mortgagor in favor of
         the Mortgagee (the "Secured Obligations") in any order of priority that
         Mortgagee may choose.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
         maximum principal indebtedness secured hereby is $59,500,000 (the
         "Maximum Principal Amount"), plus amounts which may be advanced by
         Mortgagee in protection of the Property (as hereinafter defined) or
         this Mortgage. The amount of the Maximum Principal Amount may be
         increased or decreased at any time by a written agreement between
         Mortgagor and Mortgagee in recordable form, amending this Mortgage, an
         executed copy of which shall be recorded in the office(s) in which this
         Mortgage is recorded, and Mortgagor shall pay any increased mortgage
         registry tax payable as a result thereof.

                  (c)      All persons who may have or acquire an interest in
         all or any part of the Property will be considered to have notice of,
         and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each
         other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with
         each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in
         the Note or the Credit Agreement which permit borrowing, repayment and
         reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of
         the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

2.       ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.

         2.1      Assignment of Rents and Profits. As additional security for
the payment of the Secured Obligations and any amounts which Mortgagor is
obligated to pay Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby assigns
the rents and profits from the Property to Mortgagee (the "Assignment of
Rents"). Mortgagee may enforce the Assignment of Rents upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, as defined in this Mortgage, without regard to waste, adequacy
of security or the solvency of the Mortgagor. To enforce the Assignment of
Rents, Mortgagee may, at its option, either:

                  (a)      Apply to a Minnesota District Court for the Judicial
         District in which all or any part of the Property are located for the
         appointment of a receiver pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 559.17.
         The Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver upon a
         showing that an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the
         Mortgage and without regard to waste, adequacy of security or the
         solvency of the Mortgagor. If the Court appoints a receiver, the
         receiver shall have the right to manage, operate and lease (for terms
         of any duration) the Property and shall collect the rents and profits
         from the Property from the date of appointment to the date of a Court
         Order discharging the receiver. The receiver shall apply the rents and
         profits collected:

any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation
of any security interest, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any

         5.1      Representations and Warranties. Mortgagor represents and
warrants that:

                  (a)      Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple
         title to all of the Premises and Improvements;

                  (b)      Mortgagor has or will have good title to all Property
         other than the Premises and Improvements;

                  (c)      Mortgagor has the full and unlimited power, right and
         authority to encumber the Property and assign the Rents;

                  (d)      This Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on the
         Property;

                  (e)      The Property includes all property and rights which
         may be reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the present and any
         reasonable future beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises and
         Improvements;

                  (f)      Mortgagor owns any Property which is personal
         property free and clear of any security agreements, reservations of
         title or conditional sales contracts, and there is no financing
         statement affecting such personal property on file in any public
         office; and

                  (g)      Mortgagor's place of business, or its chief executive
         office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the

pay or cause to be paid each installment of all taxes and special assessments of
every kind, now or hereafter levied against the Property or any part thereof,
without notice or demand, and shall provide Mortgagee with evidence of the
payment of same. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes and assessments which may be
levied upon Mortgagee's or the Lenders' interest herein or upon this Mortgage or
the debt secured hereby (excluding any income taxes or similar charges imposed
upon Mortgagee or the Lenders), without regard to any law that may be enacted
imposing payment of the whole or any part thereof upon the Mortgagee or any
Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary,
Mortgagor shall have the right to pay or cause to be paid any such tax or
special assessment under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or special
assessment but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the
collection of such tax or special assessment so contested and also prevent the
sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,
(ii) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee in writing of its intent to contest
such tax or special assessment, and (iii) if so requested in writing by
Mortgagee, Mortgagor has deposited security in form and amount reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee, and increases the amount of such security so
deposited promptly after Mortgagee's request therefor. Mortgagor shall prosecute
or cause the prosecution of all such contest actions in good faith and with due
diligence.

         5.3      Performance of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor shall promptly
pay and perform each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

<PAGE>

         5.4      Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall immediately
discharge any lien on the Property which Mortgagee has not consented to in
writing in accordance with the terms of Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement.

         5.5      Damages, Restoration, and Insurance Proceeds. As long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all insurance proceeds for
losses at the Property of less than $500,000.00 shall be adjusted with and
payable to the Mortgagor. In case of loss, Mortgagee shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to participate in and reasonably approve the settlement of
any insurance claim in excess of $500,000.00 and all claims thereafter, and
Mortgagee is at all times authorized to collect and receive any insurance money
for those claims which Mortgagee is entitled to approve the settlement of
hereunder however, notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Property is damaged and
the Borrower elects to release the Property from the Collateral Pool in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(c) of the Credit Agreement, upon such
release, all insurance proceeds for such damage to the Property shall be payable
to the Mortgagor.

         At the election of Mortgagee, such insurance proceeds may be applied to
reduce the outstanding balance of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or
to pay for costs of repair and restoration of the Property; provided, however,
that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
Mortgagee shall make such insurance proceeds available to pay for such costs of
repair and restoration. If Mortgagee is entitled to and does elect to apply
insurance proceeds in payment or reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby,
then Mortgagee shall reduce the then outstanding balance of the Advances by the
amount of the insurance proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee. In the
event that Mortgagee does not elect to apply the insurance proceeds to the
indebtedness secured hereby as set forth above, such insurance proceeds shall be
used to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring the
Premises. The Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be substantially
the same quality and character as the Premises were prior to such damage or
destruction in accordance with the original plans and specifications or to such
other condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably approve in writing.

         If Mortgagee elects to make the proceeds available for repair and
restoration, any request by Mortgagor for a disbursement by Mortgagee of fire or
casualty insurance proceeds and funds deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee
pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be treated by Mortgagee as if such request
were for an Advance under the Credit Agreement, and the disbursement thereof
shall be conditioned upon the Borrower's compliance with and satisfaction of the
same conditions precedent as would be applicable under the Credit Agreement for
such an Advance, and during any such period that funds are available to the
Borrower for application to restore the Property, the amount of the Borrowing
Base attributable to the Property shall be determined in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement. Additionally, such disbursement shall also be
conditioned upon Borrower's providing to Administrative Agent: updated title
insurance, satisfactory evidence, as reasonably determined by Administrative
Agent, that the Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt as to be of at least
equal value and quality and substantially the same character as the Premises
were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans
and specifications or to such other condition as Administrative Agent shall
reasonably approve in writing, satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of
completion thereof and with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien,
contractors' sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as
Administrative Agent may reasonably require and approve. The undisbursed balance
of insurance proceeds shall at

                                     - 9 -

<PAGE>

all times be sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the work free and
clear of liens and if such proceeds are insufficient, Mortgagor shall deposit
the amount of such deficiency with Mortgagee prior to the disbursement by
Mortgagee of (i) any insurance proceeds or (ii) any additional Advances under
the Credit Agreement for such purpose.

         5.6      Condemnation Proceeds. Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and
sets over unto Mortgagee its entire interest in the proceeds (the "Condemnation
Proceeds") of any award or any claim for damages for any of the Property taken
or damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any
transaction in lieu of condemnation ("Condemnation"), unless, notwithstanding
the forgoing, (i) such taking, damage or condemnation does not cause a material
diminution in the value of the Premises or (ii) Mortgagor elects to release the
Property in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(c) of the Credit Agreement,
in which case, upon such release, all Condemnation Proceeds for damages to the
Property shall be payable to the Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall make available to
Mortgagor the Condemnation Proceeds for the restoration of the Premises if
Mortgagor satisfies all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.6 hereof
for disbursement of insurance proceeds. In all other cases Mortgagee shall have
the right, at its option, to apply the Condemnation Proceeds upon or in
reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, whether due or not. If Mortgagee
is entitled to and does elect to apply Condemnation Proceeds upon or in
reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, then Mortgagee shall reduce the
then outstanding balance of the Advances under the Credit Agreement by the
amount of the Condemnation Proceeds received and so applied by Mortgagee and the
Borrowing Base reduced. If the Condemnation Proceeds are required to be used as
aforesaid to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring
buildings or improvements on the Property, or if Mortgagee elects that the
Condemnation Proceeds be so used, and the buildings and other improvements shall
be rebuilt or restored, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid out in the same
manner as is provided in this Section 5.6 hereof for the payment of insurance
proceeds toward the cost of rebuilding or restoration of such buildings and
other improvements. Any surplus which may remain out of the Condemnation
Proceeds after payment of such cost of rebuilding or restoration shall, at the
option of Mortgagee, be applied on account of the indebtedness secured hereby or
be paid to any other party entitled thereto.

         5.7      Maintenance and Preservation of Property.

                  (a)      Mortgagor shall insure the Property as required by
         Schedule 11 of the Credit Agreement and keep the Property in good
         condition and repair.

                  (b)      Except as required by the terms of any lease approved
         by Administrative Agent, Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish the
         Property or any material part of it in any way, or materially alter,
         restore or add to the Property, or initiate or allow any material
         change or variance in any zoning or other Premises use classification
         which adversely affects the Property or any material part of it, except
         with Mortgagee's express prior written consent in each instance; the
         term "materially" or "material" as used in this Section 5.7(b) shall
         mean having a monetary effect in an amount greater than (i) $500,000
         with respect to any Community Center and (ii) $1,000,000 with respect
         to any Regional Mall.

                  (c)      Mortgagor shall not commit or allow any act upon or
         use of the Property which would violate: (i) any applicable Laws or
         order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to
         be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen; or (ii) any public or
         private covenant, condition, restriction or equitable servitude
         affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not bring or keep any article
         on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, if that
         could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage
         required to be maintained by Mortgagor on the Property or any part of
         it under the Credit Agreement.

                  (d)      Mortgagor shall not commit or allow waste of the
         Property, including those acts or omissions characterized under the
         Credit Agreement as waste which arises out of Materials of
         Environmental Concern.

                  (e)      Mortgagor shall perform all other acts which from the
         character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to
         maintain and preserve its value.

         5.8      Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security.
From time to time, Mortgagee may perform any of the following acts without
incurring any liability or giving notice to any person:

                  (a)      Release any person liable for payment of any Secured
         Obligation;

         to Section 5.9 above. Mortgagor shall also pay or reimburse all of
         Mortgagee's costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any
         such services. Mortgagor further agrees to pay or reimburse Mortgagee
         for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or

<PAGE>

                           (ii)     Mortgagee's failure or refusal to perform or
                  discharge any obligation or liability of Mortgagor under any
                  agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or

                           (iii)    Any loss sustained by Mortgagor or any third
                  party resulting from Mortgagee's failure to lease the
                  Property, or from any other act or omission of Mortgagee in
                  managing the Property, after an Event of Default, unless the
                  loss is caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or
                  bad faith of Mortgagee.

         Mortgagor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the
         types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be
         asserted against or imposed upon Mortgagee.

                  (c)      Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee against and
         hold it harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes
         of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and other legal
         expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of value, and
         other costs and expenses which it may suffer or incur, unless caused by
         the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Mortgagee:

                           (i)      In performing any act required or permitted
                  by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or by law;

                           (ii)     Because of any failure of Mortgagor to
                  perform any of its obligations; or

                           (iii)    Because of any alleged obligation of or
                  undertaking by Mortgagee to perform or discharge any of the
                  representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other
                  obligations in any document relating to the Property other
                  than the Loan Documents.

         This agreement by Mortgagor to indemnify Mortgagee shall survive the
         release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured Obligations and
         the full or partial release of this Mortgage.

                  (d)      Mortgagor shall pay all obligations to pay money
         arising under this Section 5.9 immediately upon demand by Mortgagee.
         Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of,
         the principal of the Note, and shall bear interest from the date the
         obligation arises at the Default Rate.

         5.11     Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Mortgagor's sole
expense, Mortgagor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to
and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Mortgage and
the rights and powers of Mortgagee created under it, against all adverse claims.
Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted
which does or could affect any such matters, or if any action or proceeding is
commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole
or in part by Mortgagee in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of
any loan secured by this Mortgage.

and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and

required, and in such case, conducting such tests) on any part of the Property.
Mortgagee has no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct
tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives shall impose any liability on any of Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by
Mortgagee, its agents or representatives be a representation that Materials of
Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or
that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance
pertaining to Materials of Environmental Concern or any other applicable
governmental law. Neither Mortgagor nor any other party is entitled to rely on
any site visit, observation or testing by any of Mortgagee, its agents or
representatives. Neither Mortgagee, its agents or representatives owe any duty
of care to protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor
or any other party of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or any other
adverse condition affecting the Property. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor
reasonable notice before entering the Property. Mortgagee shall make reasonable
efforts to avoid interfering with Mortgagor's use of the Property in exercising
any rights provided in this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
rights granted to Mortgagee under this Section 5.13 are subject to all rights of
tenants to the Property.

         5.14     Notice of Change. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prior written
notice of any change in: (a) the location of its place of business or its chief
executive office if it has more than one place of business; (b) the location of
any of the Property, including the Books and Records; and (c) Mortgagor's name
or business structure. Unless otherwise approved by Mortgagee in writing, all
Property that consists of personal property (other than the Books and Records)
will be located on the Premises and all Books and Records will be located at
Mortgagor's place of business or chief executive office if Mortgagor has more
than one place of business.

6.       TRANSFERS, DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

         6.1      Transfers. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee is making one
or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill
and experience of Mortgagor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material
elements similar in nature to a personal service contract. In consideration of
Mortgagee's reliance, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not make any
transfer of the Property or transfer of its interests therein, except for leases
in the ordinary course (a "Transfer"), unless the Transfer is preceded by
Mortgagee's express written consent to the particular transaction and
transferee. Mortgagee may withhold such consent in its sole discretion.

         6.2      Events of Default. Mortgagor will be in default under this
Mortgage upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (some or
all collectively, "Events of Default;" any one singly, an "Event of Default"):

                  (a)      If a default shall occur with respect to covenants,
         agreements and obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage involving
         the payment of money (other than a default in

         the payment of principal when due as provided in Section 7.1 of the
         Credit Agreement) and shall continue for a period of five (5) business
         days after the due date thereof; or

                  (b)      If there is a failure to perform or observe any of
         the other covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this
         Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof, and such default
         continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written
         notice from Mortgagee to defaulting Mortgagor of the occurrence
         thereof; or

                  (c)      An "Event of Default" occurs under the Credit
         Agreement or any other Loan Document.

         6.3      Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Mortgagee
shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described
below, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at
law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the
exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of
remedies.

                  (a)      Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of
         any Event of Default above under subsections 6.2 (a) or 6.2 (b) above,
         the Property shall no longer be eligible to be included in the
         calculation of the Borrowing Base unless the Required Lenders consent
         to its continued inclusion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
         under subsection 6.2 (c) above, or if upon removal of the Property from
         the Borrowing Base, the Borrower does not reduce the outstanding
         balance of the Loans to be less than or equal to the recomputed
         Borrowing Base within the time period allowed under Section 2.7(b) of
         the Credit Agreement, then the whole of said principal sum hereby
         secured shall, at once either automatically or at the option of
         Mortgagee as described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement, become
         immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon,
         without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to
         Mortgagor.

                  (b)      Receiver. Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right,
         without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone claiming
         by, under or through Mortgagor, and without regard for the solvency or
         insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Property, to the
         extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver
         appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the
         proceeds, issues and profits thereof, with the rights and powers
         referenced below and such other rights and powers as the court making
         such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor hereby consents to the
         appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment.
         Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable
         law, all other powers which are necessary or usual in such cases for
         the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the
         Property, and such rights and powers as Mortgagee would have, upon
         entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c)
         below.

                  (c)      Entry. Mortgagee, in person, by agent or by
         court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and
         operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all
         other things in connection with those actions that Mortgagee may in its
         sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the
         security of this Mortgage. Such other things may include: taking and
         possessing all of Mortgagor's or the then owner's Books and Records;
         entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling leases on such terms

                                     - 15 -

<PAGE>

         and conditions as Mortgagee may consider proper; obtaining and evicting
         tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any
         payment of money owing to Mortgagee; completing any unfinished
         construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and
         alterations. If Mortgagee so requests, Mortgagor shall assemble all of
         the Property that has been removed from the Premises and make all of it
         available to Mortgagee at the site of the Premises. Mortgagor hereby
         irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's
         attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as
         Mortgagee in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in
         connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of
         Mortgagor's name on any instruments.

                  (d)      Cure; Protection of Security. Mortgagee may cure any
         breach or default of Mortgagor, and if it chooses to do so in
         connection with any such cure, Mortgagee may also enter the Property
         and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole discretion
         consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this
         Mortgage, including, without limitation, completing construction of the
         improvements at the Property contemplated by the Credit Agreement. Such
         other things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or
         proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or
         powers of Mortgagee under, this Mortgage; paying, purchasing,
         contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of
         lien which in Mortgagee's sole judgment is or may be senior in priority
         to this Mortgage, such judgment of Mortgagee or to be conclusive as
         among the parties to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance and/or paying
         any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under the
         Credit Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of
         the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and
         other appropriate persons to assist Mortgagee. Mortgagee may take any
         of the actions permitted under this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or
         without giving notice to any person. Any amounts expended by Mortgagee
         under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Mortgage.

                  (e)      Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Mortgagee may
         exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under
         the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is
         located.

                  (f)      Foreclosure by Advertisement. Mortgagee may foreclose
         the lien of this Mortgage by advertisement pursuant to the procedures
         set forth in Minnesota Statutes Chapters 580 and 582. Mortgagor hereby
         grants Mortgagee the statutory power of sale, as described in Minnesota
         Statues Section 507.15, subd. 5, to foreclose the lien of this mortgage
         by advertisement and to the extent allowed by law, commence a District
         Court action to obtain a judgment for any deficiency.

                  (g)      Foreclosure by Action. Mortgagee may foreclose the
         lien of this Mortgage by action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
         Chapters 581 and 582 and obtain a judgment for any deficiency to the
         full extent permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 582.30.

                  (h)      Assignment of Rents. Mortgagee may enforce the
         Assignment of Rents set forth in Section 2.1 of this Mortgage.

                  (i)      Other Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise all rights and
         remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or
         other writing heretofore, concurrently or in the future executed by
         Mortgagor or any other person or entity in favor of Mortgagee in
         connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without
         prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to enforce any
         appropriate remedy against Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall have the right to
         pursue all remedies afforded to a mortgagee under applicable law, and
         shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable law,
         including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time
         to time after the date hereof.

                  (j)      Sale of Personal Property. Mortgagee shall have the
         discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, which
         constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in
         any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

                           (i)      For purposes of this power of sale,
                  Mortgagee may elect to treat as personal property any Property
                  which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises
                  or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it
                  chooses to do so, Mortgagee may dispose of any personal
                  property, in any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform
                  Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located,
                  including any public or private sale, or in any manner
                  permitted by any other applicable law.

                           (ii)     In connection with any sale or other
                  disposition of such Property, Mortgagor agrees that the
                  following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable
                  sale: Mortgagee shall mail written notice of the sale to
                  Mortgagor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale.
                  Mortgagee will publish notice of the sale in a local daily
                  newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written
                  request, Mortgagee will make the Property available to any
                  bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during
                  reasonable business hours. Notwithstanding, Mortgagee shall be
                  under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment,
                  none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the
                  Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures do not
                  constitute the only procedures that may be commercially
                  reasonable.

MORTGAGOR HEREBY: EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO THE FORECLOSURE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY
BY ACTION PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 581 OR, AT THE OPTION OF
MORTGAGEE, BY ADVERTISEMENT PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 580, WHICH
PROVIDES FOR SALE AFTER SERVICE OF NOTICE THEREOF UPON THE OCCUPANT OF THE
PROPERTY AND PUBLICATION OF SAID NOTICE FOR SIX WEEKS IN THE COUNTY IN MINNESOTA
WHERE THE PROPERTY IS SITUATED; ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SERVICE NEED NOT BE MADE UPON
MORTGAGOR PERSONALLY (UNLESS MORTGAGOR IS AN OCCUPANT) AND THAT NO HEARING OF
ANY TYPE IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE; AND EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED
INS AID STATUTES, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO PRIOR NOTICE OF SALE OF
THE PROPERTY AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A PRIOR HEARING OF ANY TYPE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

         6.4      Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including
Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it
to the extent permitted by then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such
property, Mortgagee may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales
price of the property against the following obligations:

                  (a)      First, the portion of the Secured Obligations
         attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other
         sums for which Mortgagor is obligated to pay or reimburse Mortgagee
         under Section 5.10 of this Mortgage; and

                  (b)      Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order
         and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose.

7.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         7.1      Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of
the terms and conditions of the parties' agreement regarding the matters
mentioned in or incidental to this Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant
further rights to Mortgagee and contain further agreements and affirmative and
negative covenants by Mortgagor which apply to this Mortgage and to the
Property.

         7.2      No Waiver or Cure.

                  (a)      Each waiver by Mortgagee must be in writing, and no
         waiver shall be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be
         implied from any delay or failure by Mortgagee to take action on
         account of any default of Mortgagor. Consent by Mortgagee to any act or
         omission by Mortgagor shall not be construed as a consent to any other
         or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for
         Mortgagee's consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

                  (b)      If any of the events described below occurs, that
         event alone shall not: cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or
         notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act performed
         pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any
         notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have
         been paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents
         have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or prejudice
         Mortgagee or any receiver in the exercise of any right or remedy
         afforded any of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an
         affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option, or a
         subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.

                           (i)      Mortgagee, its agent or a receiver takes
                  possession of all or any part of the Property in the manner
                  provided in Subsection 6.3(c).

                           (ii)     Mortgagee collects and applies Rents as
                  permitted under Sections 2.3 and 6.3(h) above, either with or
                  without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

                           (iii)    Mortgagee receives and applies to any
                  Secured Obligation any proceeds of any Property, including any
                  proceeds of insurance policies,

Blaine, Minnesota

<PAGE>

                  condemnation awards, or other claims, property or rights
                  assigned to Mortgagee under Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 above.

                           (iv)     Mortgagee makes a site visit, observes the
                  Property and/or conducts tests as permitted under Section 5.13
                  above.

                           (v)      Mortgagee receives any sums under this
                  Mortgage or any proceeds of any collateral held for any of the
                  Secured Obligations, and applies them to one or more Secured
                  Obligations.

                           (vi)     Mortgagee or any receiver invokes any right
                  or remedy provided under this Mortgage.

         7.3      Powers of Mortgagee.

                  (a)      If Mortgagee performs any act which it is empowered
         or authorized to perform under this Mortgage, including any act
         permitted by Section 5.8 or Subsection 6.3(d) of this Mortgage, that
         act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any
         person for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations then
         outstanding, or the lien of this Mortgage on all or the remainder of
         the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding
         Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Mortgagor shall not
         be released or changed if Mortgagee grants any successor in interest to
         Mortgagor any extension of time for payment, or modification of the
         terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Mortgagee shall not be
         required to comply with any demand by the original Mortgagor that
         Mortgagee refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or
         commence proceedings against, any such successor in interest.

                  (b)      Mortgagee may take any of the actions permitted under
         Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the
         security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the
         Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and
         payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has been
         given under this Mortgage.

                  (c)      From time to time, Mortgagee may apply to any court
         of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and
         enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage.
         Mortgagee may from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing,
         confirming or approving acts in executing and enforcing these rights
         and remedies.

         7.4      Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Mortgagee's
acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless Mortgagee
consents to a merger in writing.

         7.5      Joint and Several Liability. If Mortgagor consists of more
than one person, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the faithful
performance of all of Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage.

         7.6      Applicable Law. The creation, perfection and enforcement of
the lien of this Mortgage shall be governed by the law of the State in which the
property is located. Subject to the

Blaine, Minnesota

                                     - 19 -

<PAGE>

foregoing, in all other respects, this Mortgage shall be governed by the
substantive laws of the State of Ohio.

         7.7      Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of
this Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Section 7.7 does not waive
the provisions of Section 6.1 above.

         7.8      Interpretation.

                  (a)      Whenever the context requires, all words used in the
         singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice
         versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of
         the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not
         define or limit any terms or provisions. The word "include(s)" means
         "include(s), without limitation," and the word "including" means
         "including, but not limited to."

                  (b)      The word "obligations" is used in its broadest and
         most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct,
         indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all
         principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and
         any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as
         all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.

                  (c)      No listing of specific instances, items or matters in
         any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this
         Mortgage. The Exhibits to this Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this
         Mortgage.

         7.9      In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Mortgagor is obligated to pay
or reimburse Mortgagee for any attorneys' fees, those fees shall include the
reasonable and customary allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

         7.10     Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law,
Mortgagor hereby agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself
of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any
so-called "Moratorium Laws," now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to
prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby
waives the benefit of such laws. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim
through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates
comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and
agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the

         7.13     WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. MORTGAGOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, THE
NOTE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR
ACTIONS OF MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS MORTGAGE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY
INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS
DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. MORTGAGOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE TO MAKE THE
LOAN, ENTER INTO THIS MORTGAGE AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii)
THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF
FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

         7.14     Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between
this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the terms hereof shall be controlling as
necessary to create, preserve and/or maintain a valid security interest upon the
Property, otherwise the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall be controlling.

         7.15     Partial Invalidity; Maximum Allowable Rate of Interest.
Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend and believe that each provision in this Mortgage
and the Notes comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion
of any provision or provisions, in this Mortgage or the Notes is found by a
court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal
ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy,
and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this
Mortgage and the Notes to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable
as written, then it is the intent both of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that such
portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible
extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this
Mortgage and the Notes shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful,
void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained
therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Mortgagor and
Mortgagee under the remainder of this Mortgage and the Notes shall continue in
full force and effect. All agreements herein and in the Notes are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid
principal balance of the Notes, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid to the Holders for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be
advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable
usury laws. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision
hereof or of the Notes or any other agreement referred to herein, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity and if from any circumstance the Holders
shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful
rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the unpaid principal balance due under the Notes and not to the
payment of interest.

and all other documents that Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to

and governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.
