in possession or expectancy of, in and to any Land Parcel together with rents,

to the Improvements located thereon and such other property with respect thereto
described in Granting Clauses I and II is herein called a "Property" and each
such Property, collectively, the "Properties."

                  III All right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to
(i) all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and
replacements of and on the Properties described in the foregoing Granting
Clauses I and II and (ii) all additions and appurtenances thereto not presently
leased to or owned by the Mortgagor and hereafter leased to, acquired by or
released to the Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed upon the
Properties (including, but not limited to, the fee estate in any Land Parcel)
immediately upon such leasing, acquisition, release, construction, assembling or
placement, and without any further grant or other act by the Mortgagor.

                  IV All the estate, right, title and interest of the Mortgagor
in and to (i) all judgments, insurance proceeds, awards of damages and
settlements resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of the
Properties (or any of them), or any part thereof, under the power of eminent
domain or for any damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to the
Properties (or any of them) or any part thereof, or to any rights appurtenant
thereto, and all proceeds of any sales or other dispositions of the Properties
(or any of them) or any part thereof; and the Beneficiary is hereby authorized
to collect and receive said awards and proceeds and to give proper receipts and
acquittances thereto, subject to the conditions and limitations hereinafter set
forth; and (ii) all contract rights, general intangibles, actions and rights in
action, relating to the Properties (or any of them) including, without

                  V The Mortgagor does hereby pledge and presently and
absolutely assign to the Beneficiary from and after the date hereof (including
any period of redemption), primarily and on a parity with said real estate, and
not secondarily, all the rents, issues and profits of the Properties and all
rents, issues, profits, revenues, royalties, bonuses, rights, and benefits due,
payable or accruing (including all deposits of money as advance rent, for
security or as earnest money or as down payment for the purchase of all or any
part of the Properties) (the "Rents") under any and all present and future
leases, subleases, underlettings, concession agreements,

                                       4
<PAGE>   9

licenses, contracts or other agreements relative to the ownership or occupancy
of all or any portion of the Properties and does hereby transfer and assign to
the Beneficiary all such leases and agreements (the "Leases"). The Beneficiary
hereby grants to the Mortgagor the right to collect and use the Rents as they
become due and payable under the Leases, until an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, provided that the existence of such right shall not operate
to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment, in whole or in part
by the Mortgagor, and any such subsequent assignment shall be subject to the
rights of the Beneficiary under this Mortgage. The Mortgagor further agrees to
execute and deliver such assignments of leases or assignments of land sale
contracts as the Beneficiary may from time to time request. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default (1) the Mortgagor agrees, upon
demand, to deliver to the Beneficiary such additional assignments thereof as the
Beneficiary may request and agrees that the Beneficiary may assume the
management of the Properties (or any of them), and collect the Rents, applying
the same upon the Obligations and (2) the Mortgagor hereby authorizes and
directs all tenants, purchasers or other persons occupying or otherwise
acquiring any interest in any part of the Properties to pay the Rents due under
the Leases to the Beneficiary upon request of the Beneficiary. The Mortgagor
hereby appoints the Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney in fact to
manage said property and collect the Rents, with full power to bring suit for
collection of the Rents and possession of the Properties (or any of them),
giving and granting unto said Beneficiary full power and authority to do and
perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite and necessary to be
done in the protection of the security hereby conveyed; provided, however, that
(i) this power of attorney coupled with an interest and assignment of rents
shall not be construed as an obligation upon the Beneficiary to manage said
property or to make or cause to be made any repairs or to take any other action
that may be needful or necessary and (ii) the Beneficiary agrees that until such
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as aforesaid, the Beneficiary
shall not exercise its rights pursuant to said power of attorney coupled with an
interest and shall permit the Mortgagor to perform the aforementioned management
responsibilities and collect the Rents. Upon the Beneficiary's receipt of the
Rents, at the Beneficiary's option, it may pay: (1) reasonable charges for
collection hereunder, costs of necessary repairs and other costs requisite and
necessary in connection with the management of the premises, during the
continuance of this power of attorney coupled with an interest and assignment of
rents including general and special taxes and assessments and insurance premiums
and (2) the Indebtedness secured hereby. This power of attorney coupled with an
interest and assignment of leases and rents shall be irrevocable until this
Mortgage shall have been satisfied and the releasing of this Mortgage shall act
as a revocation of this power of attorney

                                       5
<PAGE>   10

coupled with an interest and assignment of leases and rents with respect to such
portion of the Trust Estate so released. The Beneficiary shall have and hereby
expressly reserves the right and privilege (but assumes no obligation) to
demand, collect, sue for, receive and recover the Rents, or any part thereof,
now existing or hereafter made, and apply the same in accordance with law, all
in accordance herewith.

                  VI All of the Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to
all personal and intangible property and equipment of every nature whatsoever
now or hereafter located in, arising from or on and utilized or to be used in
connection with the Properties (or any of them), including but not limited to
(a) all screens, window shades, blinds, wainscoting, storm doors and windows,
floor coverings, and awnings; (b) all apparatus, machinery, accessions,
equipment and appliances not included as fixtures; (c) all items of furniture,
furnishings, and personal property; (d) all extensions, additions, improvements,
betterments, renewals, substitutions, and replacements to or of any of the
foregoing (a)-(c) (all of said property in (a)-(d) being collectively, the
"Equipment"); (e) all accounts receivable arising from the sale or other
disposition of all or any of the Mortgagor's real property, buildings,
structures and other improvements, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, apparatus,
machinery, appliances or other equipment, and all extensions, renewals,
improvements, substitutions and replacements thereto whether owned or leased,
now or hereafter acquired in connection with the Properties; (f) all accounts,
general intangibles, chattel paper, cash or monies of the Mortgagor, wherever
located, whether in the form of cash or checks, and all cash equivalents
including, without limitation, all deposits and certificates of deposit,
instruments, whether negotiable or non-negotiable, debt notes both certificated
and uncertificated, repurchase obligations for underlying notes of the types
described herein, and commercial paper (i) received in connection with the sale
or other disposition of all or any of the Mortgagor's real property, buildings,
structures and other improvements, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, apparatus,
machinery, appliances or other equipment, and all extensions, renewals,
improvements, substitutions and replacements thereto whether owned or leased,
now or hereafter acquired, all in connection with the Properties, (ii)
maintained by the Mortgagor in a segregated account in trust for the benefit of
the Beneficiary or (iii) held by the Beneficiary; and (g) all proceeds (as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of all of the foregoing; it being
mutually agreed, intended and declared, that the Trust Estate and all of the
property rights and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor shall, so far as permitted
by law, be deemed to form a part and parcel of the Land Parcels and for the
purpose of this Mortgage to be real estate and covered by this Mortgage, it
being also agreed that if any of the property herein mortgaged is of a

                                       6
<PAGE>   11

nature so that a security interest therein can be perfected under the Uniform
Commercial Code, this instrument shall constitute a security agreement, fixture
filing and financing statement, and the Mortgagor agrees to execute, deliver and
file or refile any financing statement, continuation statement, or other
instruments the Beneficiary may reasonably require from time to time to perfect
or renew such security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code. To the extent
permitted by law, (i) all of the fixtures are or are to become fixtures on the
Land Parcels; and (ii) this instrument, upon recording or registration in the
real estate records of the proper office, shall constitute a "fixture-filing"
within the meaning of Sections 9-313 and 9-402 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the
agreements herein contained shall be as prescribed herein or by general law, or,
as to that part of the security in which a security interest may be perfected
under the Uniform Commercial Code, by the specific statutory consequences now or
hereafter enacted and specified in the Uniform Commercial Code, all at the
Beneficiary's sole election.

                  VII All of the Mortgagor's right, title, and interest in, to

liquor at the Properties (or any of them)), warranties, guaranties and building
and other permits required or useful for the construction, completion, occupancy
and operation of the Properties (or any of them); (iv) any contracts for the
sale of any portion of the Properties or the Equipment; and (v) all plans and
specifications, engineering reports, land planning, maps, surveys, and any other
reports, exhibits or plans and specifications used or to be used in connection
with the construction, operation or maintenance of the Properties (or any of
them), together with all amendments and modifications thereof.

                  TO HAVE AND TO HOLD THE TRUST ESTATE, whether now owned or
held or hereafter acquired, unto the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use
of the Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, forever.

                  IN TRUST FOREVER, with power of sale (to the extent permitted

insurance have been delivered to and shall be held by the Beneficiary. All
insurance certificates from time to time delivered (or required to be delivered)
hereunder in order to evidence the property insurance required by Section (a)(i)
of this Article 5 shall be "Accord 27" certificates. The policy or policies
required by Section (a)(i) of this Article 5 shall name the Beneficiary as loss
payee/mortgagee, and all other policies required hereunder shall name the
Beneficiary as additional insured. All policies required to be maintained
hereunder shall provide that all Proceeds be payable to the Beneficiary as set
forth in Section 6 hereof, and shall contain: (i) a standard "non-contributory
mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by
the Beneficiary notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of
the Mortgagor; (ii) to the extent available, a waiver of subrogation endorsement
as to the Beneficiary providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated
by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of
declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by the
Mortgagor, the Beneficiary or any other named insured, additional insured or
loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of the Beneficiary knowingly in
violation of the conditions of such policy; provided, however, that if such
waiver of subrogation endorsement is not available, Mortgagor shall obtain a
substantially similar waiver with respect to each individual claim filed by
Mortgagor under any such insurance policy; (iii) an endorsement indicating that
neither the Beneficiary nor the Mortgagor shall be or be deemed to be a
co-insurer with respect to any risk insured by such policies and shall provide
for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily
maintained by prudent owners of commercial or industrial properties of the same
quality as the applicable Property, but in no event in excess of $100,000; (iv)
a provision that such policies shall not be cancelled or amended, including,
without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage,
without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Beneficiary in
each instance; and (v) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims
for insurance premiums against any loss payees, additional insureds, mortgagees
and named insureds (other than the Mortgagor). Certificates of insurance (in the
form of

                                       19
<PAGE>   24

"Accord 27" certificates with respect to property insurance) with respect to all
renewal and replacement policies shall be delivered to the Beneficiary not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any of the insurance
policies required to be maintained hereunder, which certificates shall bear
notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums and originals (or certified
copies) of such insurance policies shall be delivered to the Beneficiary
promptly after the Mortgagor's receipt thereof. If the Mortgagor fails to
maintain and deliver to the Beneficiary the original policies (or certified
copies) or certificates of insurance required by this Mortgage, the Beneficiary
may, at its option, after ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Mortgagor,
procure such insurance, and the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Beneficiary for
the amount of all premiums paid by the Beneficiary thereon promptly, upon demand
by the Beneficiary, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid
by the Beneficiary to the date of repayment, and such sum shall be a part of the
Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

                  The Beneficiary shall not by the fact of approving,
disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any
insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance
carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of
insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and the Mortgagor hereby
expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with
respect thereto.

                           (d Compliance with Insurance Requirements. The
Mortgagor shall comply with all Insurance Requirements and shall not bring or
keep any article upon any of the Properties or cause or permit any condition to
exist thereon which would be prohibited by or would invalidate insurance
coverage maintained, or required hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to be
maintained, by the Mortgagor on or with respect to any part of the Trust Estate
pursuant to this Section 5.

                           (e Separate Insurance. The Mortgagor will not take
out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to
be maintained pursuant to this Section 5, unless such insurance complies with
this Section 5.

                           (f Blanket Policies. Except in the case of public
liability insurance, upon Beneficiary's request, the Mortgagor shall deliver to
Beneficiary an officer's certificate setting forth (i) the number of properties
covered by such policy, (ii) the location by city (if available, otherwise,
county) and state of the properties, (iii) the average square footage of the
properties (or the aggregate square footage),

                                       20
<PAGE>   25

(iv) a brief description of the typical construction type included in the
blanket policy and (v) such other information as Beneficiary may reasonably
request.

                  6. Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.

                           (a The Mortgagor will promptly notify the Beneficiary
in writing upon obtaining knowledge of (i) the institution of any proceedings
relating to any Taking of, or (ii) the occurrence of any casualty, damage or
injury to, the Properties (or any of them) or Equipment located thereon or any
portion thereof, the restoration of which is estimated by the Mortgagor in good
faith to cost more than $1,000,000.

                           (b In the event of any Taking of, or casualty or
other damage or injury to, any Property, or Equipment located thereon, the
Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to all compensation, awards,
proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action
(whether accrued prior to or after the date hereof) and payments which the
Mortgagor may receive or to which the Mortgagor may become entitled with respect
to such Property or any part thereof (collectively, "Proceeds"), in connection
with any such Taking, casualty or other damage or injury to any Property, or any
part thereof, or Equipment located thereon are hereby assigned to and shall be
paid to the Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Mortgage, to the extent such Proceeds are not in excess of $1,000,000 (the
"Casualty Amount"), then the Beneficiary hereby consents to and agrees that such
Proceeds are to be paid directly to the Mortgagor to be applied to restoration
of such Property in accordance with the terms hereof and/or the applicable terms
of the Lease. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6(c) and 6(d) hereof,
promptly after the occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion
of such Property or a Taking of a portion of such Property, the Mortgagor shall
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair, restoration and
rebuilding of such Property (in the case of a Taking, to the extent it is
capable of being restored) (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Work") so damaged,
destroyed or remaining after such damage or destruction or such Taking in full
compliance with all Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens
(subject to Section 7(c) hereof), except the Permitted Exceptions; it being
understood, however, that the Mortgagor shall not be obligated to restore such
Property to the precise condition of such Property prior to any Taking, casualty
or other damage or injury to such Property (and in fact, so long as the
Mortgagor applies the Proceeds received upon such Taking or casualty to such
Property to restore the damage or injury to such Property and/or to provide
another

                                       21
<PAGE>   26

type of improvement that is reasonably expected to benefit such Property, no
restoration or rebuilding of the damaged or taken structures must be
undertaken), if the Work actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed,
shall have no material adverse effect on the value of such Property from the
value that such Property would have had if the same had been restored to its
condition immediately prior to such Taking or casualty. The Mortgagor will, in
good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the
adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for insurance or Taking
Proceeds and, subject to the Mortgagor's right to receive the direct payment of
any Proceeds up to the Casualty Amount subject to the provisions below, will
cause the same to be collected and the net Proceeds paid over to the
Beneficiary, to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Mortgage. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the
Beneficiary, in the name of the Mortgagor 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, and, in the event the Mortgagor fails so to act
for a period of ten (10) days following the Mortgagor's receipt of written
notice from the Beneficiary or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then in such case the Beneficiary may file such claim and prosecute
it with counsel satisfactory to it at the expense of the Mortgagor. The
Beneficiary shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, any settlement which might result in any
Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount, and the Mortgagor will deliver to the
Beneficiary all instruments reasonably requested by the Beneficiary to permit
such approval. The Mortgagor will pay all costs, fees and expenses reasonably
and actually incurred by the Beneficiary (including all reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses actually incurred, the reasonable fees of insurance experts
and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in
connection with the settlement of any claim for insurance or Taking Proceeds and
seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the
foregoing provisions. If any insurance or Taking Proceeds are received by the
Mortgagor, such Proceeds shall be received in trust for the Beneficiary, shall
be used to pay for the cost of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof, and
in the event such Proceeds are in excess of the Casualty Amount, shall be
forthwith paid to the Beneficiary to be held by the Beneficiary in a segregated
account in trust for the Mortgagor, in each case to be applied or disbursed in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

                           (c Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default hereunder, all net Proceeds shall be paid over to the
Beneficiary and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of the Beneficiary's
reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with recovery of
the Proceeds and disbursement

                                       22
<PAGE>   27

of the Proceeds (as further described below), including, without limitation,
reasonable administrative costs and inspection fees, and then to the payment or
prepayment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in such order as the Beneficiary
shall determine.

                           (d If Proceeds are not paid directly to Mortgagor
pursuant to this Section 6 or are not required to be applied towards payment of
the Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6(c) above, then the Beneficiary shall make
the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof available to the
Mortgagor (after payment of any reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
Beneficiary in connection with the collection thereof), for payment of or
reimbursement of the Mortgagor's expenses incurred with respect to the Work,
upon the following terms and subject to the following conditions:

                                    (i)  there shall be no continuing Event of
         Default hereunder;

                                    (ii)  if the estimated cost of the Work (as
         estimated by the architect referred to in clause (iii) below) shall
         exceed the Proceeds available, the Mortgagor shall at its option either
         deposit with or deliver to the Beneficiary an amount equal to such
         excess in the form of (A) Cash and Cash Equivalents or (B) an
         unconditional, irrevocable, clean sight draft letter of credit in
         commercially reasonable form and issued by an Approved Bank; and

                                    (iii)  the Beneficiary shall be furnished
         with an estimate of the cost of the Work accompanied by an Independent
         Architect's certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and
         specifications for the Work. The plans and specifications or
         construction documents shall require that the Work be done in a
         first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and
         character of the original Improvements (provided, however, that in the
         case of a Taking the restoration of the applicable Property shall be
         done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the
         consequences of such Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the
         applicable Property shall be at least equal in value and general
         utility to such Property immediately prior to the damage or
         destruction. The Mortgagor shall restore all Improvements such that
         when they are fully restored and/or repaired such Improvements and
         their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable

                                       23
<PAGE>   28

         Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, zoning,
         environmental and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.

                           (e   Disbursement of the Proceeds to the Mortgagor
shall be made from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any month)
by the Beneficiary as the Work progresses upon receipt by the Beneficiary of (i)
an Officers' Certificate dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the
application for such payment, requesting such payment or reimbursement and
setting forth the Work performed which is the subject of such request, the
parties which performed such Work and the actual cost thereof, and also
certifying that such Work and materials are free and clear of Liens (subject to
Section 7(c) hereof) other than Permitted Exceptions and (ii) an Independent
Architect's certificate certifying performance of the Work together with an
estimate of the cost to complete the Work. No payment made prior to the final
completion of the Work shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the
Work performed or materials furnished and incorporated into the Improvements
from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds,
together with all amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise funded
pursuant to clause (ii) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost
of completion of the Work, free and clear of Liens (subject to Section 7(c)
hereof) other than Permitted Exceptions; final payment shall be made upon
receipt by the Beneficiary of a certification by an Independent Architect as to
the completion substantially in accordance with the submitted plans and
specifications, and the filing of a notice of completion and the receipt by the
Beneficiary of final lien waivers (subject to Section 7(c) hereof) from each
contractor or materialman. The Beneficiary may at its option require an
endorsement to its title insurance policy insuring the continued priority of the
Lien of this Mortgage (subject to Permitted Exceptions) as to all sums advanced
hereunder, such endorsement to be paid for by the Mortgagor.

                           (f   In the event that any condition to application
of Proceeds to the Work contained in Section 6(d) above is not satisfied within
a reasonable period of time, then, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice
all Proceeds with respect to the Taking of or damage or injury to the Trust
Estate in question shall be applied by the Beneficiary to the payment or
prepayment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness secured hereby.

                           (g   In the event that, after the completion of the
Work and payment of all costs of completion, there are excess Proceeds, then,
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagor such excess Proceeds
with respect to the Taking of or damage or injury to the Trust Estate shall be
applied by the Beneficiary

                                       24
<PAGE>   29

to the payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness secured
hereby.

                           (h   In the event of a Taking of 100% of any
Property, the Mortgagor shall prepay the Note, without penalty or premium, in an
amount equal to the net Proceeds received by the Mortgagor for such Property.

                           (i   In the event of a casualty which damages 100% of
any Property, the Mortgagor shall prepay the Note, without penalty or premium,
in an amount equal to the net Proceeds received by the Mortgagor for such
Property, and such Property shall be released from the lien and security
interests of the Loan Documents.

                  7.  Impositions, Liens and Other Items.

                           (a   The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Beneficiary
annually, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the first day of each
fiscal year of the Mortgagor, and shall update as new information is received, a
schedule describing all Impositions payable or estimated to be payable during
such fiscal year attributable to or affecting the Trust Estate or the Mortgagor.
Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7(c), the Mortgagor shall
pay all Impositions which are attributable to or affect each of the Properties
or the Mortgagor with respect to each of the Properties, prior to the date such
Impositions shall become delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon,
directly to the applicable taxing authority with respect thereto, unless and to
the extent the Beneficiary shall pay such Impositions from any Mortgage Escrow
Amounts pursuant to Section 8 hereof. The Mortgagor shall deliver to
Beneficiary, not later than forty five (45) days after each payment of
Impositions, paid receipts evidencing the payment of such Impositions.

                           (b   Subject to its right of contest set forth in
Section 7(c), the Mortgagor shall at all times keep the Properties and the
Equipment located thereon free from all Liens (other than the Lien hereof and
Permitted Exceptions) and shall pay when due and payable all claims and demands
of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in
or permit the creation of a Lien on any Property or any portion thereof and the
Equipment located thereon, whether ranked senior, pari passu or junior to the
priority of the Lien created hereby, and shall in any event cause the prompt,
full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against any
Property, or any portion thereof, and the Equipment located thereon within
forty-five (45) Domestic Business Days after receiving written notice of the

                                       25
<PAGE>   30

filing (whether from the Beneficiary, the lienor or any other Person) thereof.
The Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of the Mortgagor,
everything necessary to fully preserve the first priority of the Lien of this
Mortgage against the Properties and the Equipment located thereon, subject to
the Permitted Exceptions. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with
respect to Mortgagor's Obligations as set forth in this Section 7, the
Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge
such Lien, and the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Beneficiary on demand for all
such advances pursuant to Section 15 hereof, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate.

                           (c Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
require the Mortgagor to pay any Imposition, to satisfy any Lien or to comply
with any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement so long as the Mortgagor is
in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, diligently contesting the
validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time
of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of
such action or proceeding, (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing
hereunder, (ii) adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the
Mortgagor's books in accordance with GAAP, (iii) such contest operates to
suspend collection or enforcement, as the case may be, of the contested
Imposition or Lien and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously
and with diligence, (iv) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure
of the Mortgagor to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any
insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor under Section 5 or the
right to full payment of any claims thereunder, and (v) in the case of
Impositions and Liens, during such contest, security in the form required by
Section 6(d)(ii), assuring the discharge of the Mortgagor's obligations being
contested and of any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such
contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such reserves or the furnishing of
any bond or other security, the Mortgagor promptly shall comply with any
contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested
Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be
deferred, if, at any time a Property or any portion thereof, or any Equipment
located thereon shall be, in the Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, in danger of
being forfeited or lost or the Beneficiary may be subject to civil or criminal
damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or
discontinued adversely to the Mortgagor without any right of appeal exercised by
the Mortgagor within the time period legally permitted therefore, the Mortgagor,
upon written demand, shall deliver to the Beneficiary reasonable evidence of the
Mortgagor's compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements
or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be.

                  8. Funds for Taxes and Insurance.

                           (a From and after the occurrence of any Event of
Default by the Mortgagor hereunder, the Beneficiary may at its sole election,
upon three (3) Business Day's written notice to the Mortgagor, require the
Mortgagor to pay additional amounts sufficient to discharge the obligations of
the Mortgagor under Sections 5 and 7 hereof with respect to insurance premiums
and Impositions, as and when they become due (such amounts, the "Mortgage Escrow
Amounts"). Upon the Beneficiary's election to require Mortgage Escrow Amounts in
accordance with the foregoing, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Beneficiary to be
held in an account controlled by the Beneficiary (the "Escrow Account") a sum
which bears the same relation to the annual insurance premiums for all insurance
required by the terms hereof and Impositions assessed against the Properties for
the insurance period or tax year then in effect, as the case may be, as (i) the
number of months elapsed as of the date of such election since the last
preceding installment of said premiums or Impositions shall have become due and
payable bears to (ii) twelve (12). For the purpose of this computation, the
month in which such last preceding installment of premiums or Impositions became
due and payable and the month in which the Beneficiary makes such election shall
be included and deemed to have elapsed. During each month thereafter, until the
Beneficiary shall elect that the provisions of this Section 8 shall no longer be
applicable, the Mortgagor shall pay with respect to the Mortgage Escrow Amounts
a sum equal to the one-twelfth of such insurance premiums and such Impositions
for the then-current insurance period and tax year, so that as each installment
of such premiums and Impositions shall become due and payable, the Beneficiary
shall have received a sum sufficient to pay the same. If the amount of such
premiums and Impositions has not been definitely ascertained at the time when
any such monthly deposits are to be made, the Mortgagor shall pay Mortgage
Escrow Amounts based upon the amount of such premiums and Impositions for the
preceding year, subject to adjustment as and when the amount of such premiums
and Impositions are ascertained.

                           (b The Mortgage Escrow Amounts shall be held by the
Beneficiary and shall be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the
obligations in respect of which such Mortgage Escrow Amounts were required
except upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the
Note in which case all or any portion of such Mortgage Escrow Amounts may be so
transferred or otherwise applied to the Indebtedness in such order or priority
as the Beneficiary may elect or the Beneficiary may exercise any of its rights
or remedies with respect to same under any of the Loan Documents, at law or in
equity. Any Mortgage Escrow Amounts

                                       27
<PAGE>   32

paid by the Mortgagor in excess of the actual obligations for which they were
required, shall be held and applied to the obligations for the ensuing year or
otherwise applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of the
Beneficiary under this Mortgage or otherwise at law or in equity to pay any such
amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness hereby secured. Any
such application of said amounts or any portion thereof to any Indebtedness
secured hereby shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or notice of
Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such Default or
notice.

                           (c If the Beneficiary elects to require Mortgage
Escrow Amounts pursuant to this Section 8, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the
Beneficiary all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements of
insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above
as soon as the same are received by the Mortgagor, and the Beneficiary shall
cause the same to be paid when due to the extent of Mortgage Escrow Amounts in
the Escrow Account available therefor. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed
that the Beneficiary shall have no obligation whatsoever to advance any amounts
in payment of all or any portion of such obligations to the extent that Mortgage
Escrow Amounts received are insufficient to pay any such obligations as and when
the same become due.

                  9. The Beneficiary and Trustees. If any section of this
Mortgage provides that this document shall constitute a deed of trust, the
provisions of this Section 9 shall be applicable.

                           (a The Trustees accept the trusts hereby created and
agree to perform the duties herein required of them upon the terms and
conditions hereof.

                  The duties and obligations of the Trustees in respect of this
Mortgage shall be as set forth in this Section 9.

                                    (i) Except upon the occurrence and during
         the continuance of an Event of Default actually known to the
         Beneficiary,

                                    (A the Trustees shall undertake to perform
         such duties and obligations and only such duties and obligations as are
         specifically set forth in this Mortgage and the Loan Documents or as
         otherwise directed by a letter of direction from the Beneficiary, and
         no implied covenants or

                                       28
<PAGE>   33

         obligations shall be read into this Mortgage or the Loan Documents
         against the Trustees; and

                                    (B in the absence of bad faith, the Trustees
         may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustees and conforming to the requirements
         of this Mortgage and the Loan Documents.

                                    (ii) In case an Event of Default known to
         the Beneficiary has occurred and is continuing, the Trustees shall
         exercise the rights and powers vested in the Trustees by this Mortgage
         and the Loan Documents, with reasonable care, as directed by
         Beneficiary.

                                    (iii) No provision of this Mortgage shall be
         construed to relieve the Trustees from liability for their own gross
         negligence or willful misconduct, except that

                                    (A this Subsection shall not be construed to
         limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section 9;

                                    (B the Trustees shall not be liable for any
         error of judgment made in good faith by an officer of the Trustees,
         unless it shall be proved that such Trustees were negligent in
         ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

                                    (C the Trustees shall not be liable with
         respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Beneficiary relating to the time,
         method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
         to the Trustees, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
         Trustees under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

                                    (iv) Whether or not therein expressly so
         provided, every provision of this Mortgage relating to the conduct or
         affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees
         shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9(a).

                                    (v) No provision of this Mortgage shall
         require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise
         incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of
         their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or
         powers.

                           (b  At any time or times for the purpose of meeting
the Legal Requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of a Trust Estate
may at the time be located, the Beneficiary shall have the power to appoint and,
upon the written request of the Beneficiary, the Mortgagor shall for such
purpose join with the Beneficiary in the execution, delivery and performance of
all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint one or more
Persons reasonably approved by the Beneficiary to act as trustee pursuant to
this Mortgage in such jurisdiction for such portion of the Trust Estate located
in such jurisdiction (the "Jurisdictional Trustee") with such powers as are
provided in the instrument of appointment which shall expressly designate the
Properties affected and the capacity of the appointee as a Jurisdictional
Trustee, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any
property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the
other provisions of this Section 9. If the Mortgagor does not join in such
appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Beneficiary alone shall make such appointment. Should any written instrument
from the Mortgagor be required by any Jurisdictional Trustee so appointed for
more fully confirming to such Jurisdictional Trustee such property, title, right
or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by the Mortgagor.

                                    (i) Every Jurisdictional Trustee shall, to
         the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed
         subject to the terms set forth in Section 9(b)(iii) hereof.

                                    (ii) As of the date hereof the Trustee named
         on page 1 hereof is hereby appointed Jurisdictional Trustee for the
         State in which the Properties are located.

                                    (iii) To the extent permitted by law, but to
         such extent only, the Jurisdictional Trustee is appointed herein
         subject to the following terms, namely:

                                    (A Subject to the terms hereof and to the
         extent permitted by law, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
         under this Mortgage

         granted to or imposed upon the Beneficiary and the Jurisdictional
         Trustee shall be exercised solely by the Beneficiary.

                                    (B The rights, powers, duties and
         obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Beneficiary and the
         Jurisdictional Trustee in respect of any Property covered by such
         appointment shall be exercised or performed by the Beneficiary
         separately, or at the election of the Beneficiary by the Beneficiary
         and the Jurisdictional Trustee jointly, except to the extent that (i)
         under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be
         performed by the Beneficiary and/or the Jurisdictional Trustee and the
         Beneficiary shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or
         (ii) the Beneficiary shall deem it inconvenient or undesirable to
         perform such act, then in any such event such rights, powers, duties
         and obligations shall be exercised and performed by the Jurisdictional
         Trustee at the written direction of the Beneficiary.

                                    (C The Beneficiary at any time, by an
         instrument in writing executed by it, may accept the resignation of or
         remove any Jurisdictional Trustee. Upon the written request of the
         Beneficiary, the Mortgagor shall join with the Beneficiary in the
         execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
         necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A
         successor to the Jurisdictional Trustee so resigned or removed may be
         appointed in the manner provided in this Section 9.

                                    (D Upon the resignation or removal of any
         Jurisdictional Trustee, the Beneficiary shall have power to appoint
         and, upon the written request of the Beneficiary, the Mortgagor shall,
         for such purpose, join with the Beneficiary in the execution, delivery
         and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper
         to appoint one or more Persons reasonably approved by the Beneficiary
         to act as successor Jurisdictional Trustee of all or any part of the
         Trust Estate so designated, with such power as provided for in this
         Section 9, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
         aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or
         desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9. If the
         Mortgagor does not join in such appointment, within fifteen (15) days
         after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing, the Beneficiary acting alone
         shall make such appointment. Should any written instrument from the
         Mortgagor be required by any successor Jurisdictional Trustee so
         appointed for more fully confirming to

                                       31

         such trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such
         instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered
         by the Mortgagor.

                                    (E No Jurisdictional Trustee hereunder shall
         be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the
         Beneficiary or any other trustee hereunder and the Beneficiary shall
         not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the
         Jurisdictional Trustee; neither shall knowledge of the Beneficiary be
         imputed to the Jurisdictional Trustee nor shall knowledge of the
         Jurisdictional Trustee be imputed to the Beneficiary.

                                    (F Any notice delivered to the Beneficiary
         shall be deemed to have been sufficiently delivered without any
         delivery to the Jurisdictional Trustee.

                                    (G Any obligation of the Mortgagor to file
         or give notices, reports or information to the Beneficiary hereunder
         shall be satisfied by the delivery thereof to the Beneficiary.

                                    (H Any successor to the Jurisdictional
         Trustee (herein, in this subsection (H), called the "Successor
         Jurisdictional Trustee") shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to his
         predecessor (herein called the Predecessor Jurisdictional Trustee), the
         Beneficiary and the Mortgagor, an instrument accepting such
         appointment. Thereupon, the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee shall,
         without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with the
         estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the
         Predecessor Jurisdictional Trustee in the trusts created by this
         Mortgage, with the same effect as if originally named as Jurisdictional
         Trustee. At the written request of the Mortgagor, the Beneficiary or
         the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee, the Predecessor Jurisdictional
         Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument, in recordable form,
         transferring to the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee, upon the trusts
         herein expressed, the Trust Estate and shall duly assign transfer,
         deliver and pay over to the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee, any
         property and money subject to the lien hereof held by him. If any
         written instrument from the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary be required by
         the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee for more fully and certainly
         vesting in and confirming to the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee such
         estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts, then, at the request of
         the Successor Jurisdictional Trustee, all such instruments shall be
         made, executed, acknowledged

                                       32

         and delivered by the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to the Successor
         Jurisdictional Trustee.

                           (c The Mortgagor covenants and agrees:

                                    (i) to reimburse the Beneficiary and the
         Trustees from time to time for all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and
         expenses incurred by them hereunder;

                                    (ii) to reimburse each of the Beneficiary
         and the Trustees upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it or him in
         accordance with any provision of this Mortgage (including reasonable
         compensation, expenses and disbursements of agents and counsel), except
         any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to
         Beneficiary's or Trustee's negligence or bad faith; and

                                    (iii) to indemnify the Beneficiary and the
         Trustees for, and to hold each harmless against, any loss, liability or
         expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on
         its or his part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
         administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the enforcement of
         remedies hereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of
         defending against any claim or liability in connection with the
         exercise or performance of any of the powers or duties hereunder or
         thereunder (except any liability incurred by the Trustees and the
         Jurisdictional Trustee with negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
         on its or their part).

The obligations of the Mortgagor under this Section 9(c) to compensate or
indemnify the Trustees and the Beneficiary and to pay or reimburse the Trustees
and the Beneficiary for reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional Indebtedness hereunder and shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Mortgage. When the Trustees or the
Beneficiary incur expenses or render services after an occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, the expenses and compensation for services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

                           (d)  If an individual Person is named as Trustee on
page 1 hereof, such individual is hereby appointed Individual Trustee for the
State in which

                                       33
<PAGE>   38

the Properties are located. To the extent permitted by law, but to such extent
only, the Individual Trustee is appointed herein by the Beneficiary subject to
the following terms, namely:

                                    (i) Subject to the terms hereof and to the
         extent permitted by law, all the rights, powers, duties and obligations
         under this Mortgage granted to or imposed upon the Individual Trustees
         shall be exercised solely by the Beneficiary except as herein provided.

                                    (ii) The rights, powers, duties and
         obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Individual Trustee in
         respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be exercised
         or performed by the Beneficiary separately, or at the election of the
         Beneficiary by the Beneficiary and the Individual Trustee jointly,
         except to the extent that (i) under any law of any jurisdiction in
         which any particular act is to be performed by the Individual Trustees
         the Beneficiary shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
         or (ii) the Beneficiary shall deem it inconvenient or undesirable to
         perform such act, then in any such event such rights, powers, duties
         and obligations shall be exercised and performed by the Individual
         Trustee at the written direction of the Beneficiary.

                                    (iii) The Beneficiary at any time, by an
         instrument in writing executed by it, may accept the resignation of or
         remove any Individual Trustee. Upon the written request of the
         Beneficiary, the Mortgagor shall join with the Beneficiary in the
         execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
         necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A
         successor to the Individual Trustee so resigned or removed may be
         appointed in the manner provided in this Section.

                                    (iv) Upon the death, resignation or removal
         of any Individual Trustee, the Beneficiary shall have power to appoint
         and, upon the written request of the Beneficiary, the Mortgagor shall,
         for such purpose, join with the Beneficiary in the execution, delivery
         and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper
         to appoint, one or more persons approved by the Beneficiary to act as
         Successor Individual Trustee together with the Beneficiary of all or
         any part of the Trust Estate, with such powers as provided for in this
         Section 9, and to vest in such person or persons in the capacity
         aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or
         desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9. If the
         Mortgagor

                                       34
<PAGE>   39

         does not join in such appointment, within fifteen (15) days after the
         receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has
         occurred and is continuing, the Beneficiary acting alone shall make
         such appointment.

                                    (v) Should any written instrument from the
         Mortgagor be required by any successor Individual Trustee so appointed
         for more fully confirming to such trustee such property, title, right
         or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed,
         acknowledged and delivered by the Mortgagor.

                                    (vi) No Individual Trustee hereunder shall
         be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the
         Beneficiary or any other trustee hereunder and the Beneficiary shall
         not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the
         Individual Trustee; neither shall knowledge of the Beneficiary be
         imputed to the Individual Trustee nor shall knowledge of the Individual
         Trustee be imputed to the Beneficiary.

                                    (vii) Any notice delivered to the
         Beneficiary shall be deemed to have been sufficiently delivered without
         any delivery to the Individual Trustee.

                                    (viii) Any obligation of the Mortgagor to
         file or give notices, reports or information to the Trustees hereunder
         shall be satisfied by the delivery thereof to the Beneficiary.

                  Any successor to the Individual Trustee (herein, in this
subsection (d) called the "Successor Individual Trustee") shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to his predecessor (herein, in this subsection (h),
called the "Predecessor Individual Trustee"), the Beneficiary and the Mortgagor,
an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon, the Successor Individual
Trustee shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with
the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of the Predecessor
Individual Trustee in the trusts created by this Mortgage, with the same effect
as if originally named as Individual Trustee. At the written request of the
Mortgagor, the Beneficiary or the Successor Individual Trustee, the Predecessor
Individual Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the
Successor Individual Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, the Trust Estate
and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the Successor
Individual Trustee, any property and money subject to the lien hereof held by
him. If any written instrument from the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary be required
by the

                                       35
<PAGE>   40

Successor Individual Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to the Successor Individual Trustee such estates, properties, rights,
powers and trusts, then, at the request of the Successor Individual Trustee, all
such instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to the Successor Individual Trustee.

                           (e) At any time or times, (i) for the purpose of
meeting the Legal Requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of a Trust
Estate may at the time be located or (ii) if the Beneficiary deems it to be
necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests, the Beneficiary
shall have the power to appoint, and upon written request of the Beneficiary,
the Mortgagor shall for such purpose join with the Beneficiary in the execution,
delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Beneficiary either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Beneficiary, of all or any part of the Trust
Estate, or to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with
such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment which shall
expressly designate the property affected and the capacity of the appointee as
either a co-trustee or separate trustee, and to vest in such person or persons
in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary
or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9. If the
Mortgagor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by
it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Beneficiary alone shall make such appointment.

                  Should any written instrument from the Mortgagor be required
by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to
such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any
and all such instruments shall, by request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Mortgagor.

                  Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the same
terms as hereinabove set forth for the Individual Trustee.

                  10. Transfers, Additional Indebtedness and Subordinate Liens.

                           (a) Except as permitted under the Credit Agreement,
the Mortgagor will not without the Beneficiary's prior written consent, which
consent may be withheld in the Beneficiary's sole discretion, (i) sell, assign,
convey, transfer

                                       36
<PAGE>   41

or otherwise dispose of legal or beneficial interests in all or any part of the
Properties, (ii) incur additional Debt (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement), (iii) sell, assign, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any
legal or beneficial interest in the Mortgagor or any entity constituting the
Mortgagor, or permit any owner of a legal or beneficial interest in the
Mortgagor to do the same, or file a declaration of condominium with respect to
any Property, or (iv) mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or grant a
security interest in the Trust Estate or any interest in the Mortgagor or entity
constituting the Mortgagor (the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iv)
are collectively referred to as a "Transfer").

                           (b) Any Transfer made in violation of this Mortgage
or the Credit Agreement shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder and
shall be void and of no force or effect as against the Beneficiary. Upon any
such Transfer made in violation of Section 10(a), the Beneficiary may, at its
option and without limiting any other right or remedy available to the
Beneficiary hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise at
law or in equity, accelerate the maturity of the Note and require the payment of
the then existing outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and all other
Indebtedness due under the Note and this Mortgage and any and all other amounts
due to the Beneficiary. The Mortgagor shall reimburse the Beneficiary for all
reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, actually incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the
review by the Beneficiary of the Mortgagor's request for the Beneficiary's
consent to a Transfer of all or any portion of the Trust Estate or any interest
therein or any interest in the Mortgagor.

                  11. Maintenance of Trust Estate; Alterations; Inspection;
Utilities.

                           (a) The Mortgagor shall keep and maintain the Trust
Estate and every part thereof in good condition and repair, subject to ordinary
wear and tear, and shall not permit or commit any impairment, deterioration or
intentional waste of any Property and the Equipment located thereon in any
material respect. The Mortgagor further covenants to do all other acts which
from the character or use of any Property may be reasonably necessary to protect
the security hereof, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general.
The Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish any Improvement on any Property
except as the same may be necessary in connection with an Alteration or a
restoration in connection with a Taking or casualty, required under the Leases
or in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.

                                       37
<PAGE>   42

                           (b) Except as may be necessary in connection with an
Alteration permitted by Section 11(c) below, the Mortgagor shall not make any
changes or allow any changes to be made in the use of a Property as a commercial
or industrial property and related uses or initiate or acquiesce in any change
in any zoning or other land use classification affecting all or any portion of a
Property now or hereafter in effect and affecting all or any portion of a
Property in a manner which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                           (c) The Mortgagor shall have the right, without the
Beneficiary's consent, to undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or
removal (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an
"Alteration") of a Property or any portion thereof so long as any such
Alteration is (i) required or permitted pursuant to or in connection with any
Lease or (ii) provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing hereunder, does not in the aggregate cost more than $1,000,000. The
Beneficiary shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any Alteration in
excess of $1,000,000 which is not otherwise permitted under the terms of the
applicable Lease. Any Alteration which involves an estimated cost of more than
$1,000,000 in the aggregate for any Property shall be conducted under the
supervision of an Independent Architect, and no such Alteration shall be
undertaken until five (5) Domestic Business Days after there shall have been
filed with the Beneficiary, for information purposes only and not for approval
by the Beneficiary, detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates
therefor, prepared and approved in writing by such Independent Architect. Such
plans and specifications may be revised at any time and from time to time,
provided that material revisions of such plans and specifications are filed with
the Beneficiary, for information purposes only, together with the written
approval thereof by such Independent Architect. All work done in connection with
any Alteration shall be performed with due diligence in a good and workmanlike
manner, all materials used in connection with any Alteration shall not be less
than the standard of quality of the materials currently used at such Property
and all work performed and all materials used shall be in accordance with all
applicable Legal Requirements and the insurance requirements of the insurance
policies required hereby.

                           (d) The Beneficiary and any Persons authorized by
them may at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice and in compliance with
the Leases enter and examine any Property and may inspect all work done, labor
performed and materials furnished in and about any Property

                                       38

                  12. Legal Compliance. The Mortgagor and the Properties and the
Equipment thereon and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all
Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined). Subject to the Mortgagor's right of
contest pursuant to Section 7(c), the Mortgagor shall comply with and conform in
all material respects to all present and future laws, statutes, codes,
ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations and
requirements, and irrespective of the nature of the work to be done, of every
Governmental Authority including, without limitation, Environmental Laws,
consumer protection laws and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or
hereafter of record which may be applicable to Mortgagor or to any Property and
the Equipment thereon, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession,
operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any Property and
the Equipment thereon, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes
and ordinances (collectively, the "Legal Requirements"), the failure to comply
with would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the value of any
Property taken as a whole.

                  13. Books and Records, Financial Statements, Reports and Other
Information.

                           (a) Books and Records. The Mortgagor will keep and
maintain on a fiscal year basis proper books and client records, in which
accurate and complete entries shall be made of all dealings or transactions of
or in relation to the Note and the Trust Estate and the business and affairs of
the Mortgagor relating to the Trust Estate, in accordance with GAAP and the
Credit Agreement. The Beneficiary and its authorized representatives shall have
the right at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to examine the books
and records of the Mortgagor relating to the operation of the Trust Estate and
to make such copies or extracts thereof as the Beneficiary may reasonably
require.

                           (b) Other Information. The Mortgagor will, within a
reasonable time after written request by the Beneficiary, furnish to the
Beneficiary, in such manner and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by
the Beneficiary, such reasonable additional information which has been prepared
by the Mortgagor in the ordinary course of business, as may be reasonably
requested by the Beneficiary with respect to the Trust Estate.

                  14. Compliance with Leases and Agreements.

                                       39
<PAGE>   44

                           (a) The Mortgagor has heretofore delivered to the
Beneficiary true and complete copies of all Leases, and all Agreements and any
and all amendments or modifications thereof. The Leases and Agreements are in
full force and effect and the Mortgagor has neither given to, nor received any
written notice of default from, any Tenants under any Leases or any party to any
of the Agreements, and, to the Mortgagor's knowledge, no events or circumstances
exist which with or without the giving of notice, the passage of time or both,
may constitute a default under any of the Leases or Agreements. The Mortgagor
will promptly notify the Beneficiary upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing
events.

                           (b) The Mortgagor may, at all times, lease to any
Person space within any Property in a manner consistent with other industrial
properties comparable to the applicable Property and then current market
conditions existing in the applicable market area in which such Property is
located, and otherwise in accordance with this Mortgage. Each Lease entered into
after the date hereof (including the renewal or extension on or after the date
hereof of any Lease entered into prior to the date hereof if the rent payable
during such renewal or extension, or a formula or other method to compute such
rent, is not provided for in such Lease (such a renewal or extension a "Renewal
Lease")) shall either (i) (A) provide for payment of rent and all other material
amounts payable thereunder at rates at least equal to the fair market rental
value (taking into account the type and creditworthiness of the tenant, the
length of tenancy and the location and size of the unit so rented), as of the
date such Lease is executed by the Mortgagor, of the space covered by such Lease
or Renewal Lease for the term thereof, including any renewal options, (B) not
contain any provision whereby the rent payable thereunder would be based, in
whole or in part, upon the net income or profits derived by any Person from the
applicable Property (provided, however, that it may contain a provision in which
a portion of rent may be payable based on a percentage of gross income), (C) not
entitle any Tenant to receive and retain Proceeds of a Taking except those that
may be specifically awarded to it in condemnation proceedings because of the
Taking of its trade fixtures and its leasehold improvements which have not
become part of the realty and such business loss and relocation expenses as
tenant may specifically and separately establish and (D) not have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Property in which it is to be located or (ii)
be consented to by the Beneficiary. Each such Lease (other than Renewal Leases)
in excess of ____% of the rentable area of any Property (a "Material Lease")
shall be subject to the prior consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Any such Renewal Lease shall also be subject to the prior
consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, in the
case of any Renewal Lease which either provides for

                                       40
<PAGE>   45

(x) any change to any financial provision of the Lease being renewed or
extended, or (y) any other material modification or amendment. Beneficiary shall
grant or deny its consent within five (5) Domestic Business Days after receipt
of request therefor (together with a copy of the proposed Renewal Lease). If the
Beneficiary shall fail to respond within such five (5) Domestic Business Day
period, the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have granted its consent to the
proposed Renewal Lease. In addition, the Mortgagor shall give the Beneficiary
not less than one (1) Domestic Business Day's prior written notice (together
with a copy of the proposed Renewal Lease) of any other proposed Renewal Lease
prior to the execution thereof. Without the prior consent of Beneficiary, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Mortgagor may not amend, modify
or waive the provisions of any Material Lease or terminate, reduce rents under
or shorten the term of any such Lease.

                           (c) The Mortgagor shall (i) promptly perform and
observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be
performed and observed by the Mortgagor under the Leases and Agreements such
that there will be no material and adverse impairment of the value of the
Property to which the Lease or Agreement relates or the Beneficiary's interest
under this Mortgage; and (ii) collect the Rents under the Leases at such times
as are customary in the ordinary course of the Mortgagor's business and may
collect such security deposits as are permitted by Legal Requirements and are
commercially reasonable in the prevailing market and collect escalations,
percentage rent and other charges in accordance with the terms of each Lease.

                           (d) All Leases entered into by the Mortgagor after
the date hereof shall be subject and subordinate to this Mortgage (through
either subordination provisions in the Leases or separate nondisturbance
agreements), and shall provide that the Tenant thereunder shall attorn to the
Beneficiary, or any other Person succeeding to the interest of the Beneficiary,
on the terms set forth in Section 14(e); provided that the Tenant's rights under
the Lease shall not be impaired or otherwise affected by such subordination or
the foreclosure of this Mortgage, unless such Tenant has defaulted under the
Lease and all applicable grace or cure periods thereunder have expired. The
Beneficiary, at the request of the Mortgagor, shall enter into a subordination,
attornment and nondisturbance agreement, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Beneficiary with any existing Tenant or any Tenant entering
into a Lease after the date hereof (other than a Lease to an Affiliate of the
Mortgagor) provided, in any event, that such Tenant leases at least ___% of the
rentable square feet of the Improvements. All actual, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Beneficiary in connection with the negotiation, preparation,

                                       41
<PAGE>   46

execution and delivery of any nondisturbance agreement, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, shall be paid by the
Mortgagor.

                           (e) Each Lease entered into from and after the date
hereof shall provide that: in the event of the enforcement by the Beneficiary of
any remedy under this Mortgage, the Tenant under such Lease shall, at the option
of the Beneficiary or of any other Person succeeding to the interest of the
Beneficiary as a result of such enforcement, subject to the Beneficiary's and
such Tenant's delivery of any nondisturbance agreement required hereunder
(except with respect to any Lease to an Affiliate of Tenant), attorn to the
Beneficiary or to such Person and shall recognize the Beneficiary or such
successor in interest as lessor under such Lease without change in the
provisions thereof; provided, however, the Beneficiary or such successor in
interest shall not be liable for or bound by (i) any payment of an installment
of rent or additional rent which may have been made more than thirty (30) days
before the due date of such installment, (ii) any amendment or modification to
or termination of any such Lease not in conformity with Section 14(b), (iii) any
act or omission of or default by the Mortgagor under any such Lease, or (iv) any
credits, claims, setoffs or defenses which any Tenant may have against the
Mortgagor. Each such Tenant, upon reasonable request by the Beneficiary or such
successor in interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments
confirming such attornment, subject to the Beneficiary's delivery of a
nondisturbance agreement to such Tenant (except with respect to any Lease to an
Affiliate of Tenant).

                  15. The Beneficiary's Right to Perform. Upon the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the performance of any of
the Obligations contained herein, the Beneficiary, without waiving or releasing
the Mortgagor from any Obligation or Default under this Mortgage, after delivery
of notice thereof to Mortgagor, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time
perform the same, and the cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate from
the date of payment by the Beneficiary to the date such amount is paid by the
Mortgagor, shall immediately be due from the Mortgagor to the Beneficiary, and
the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a Lien on the Trust
Estate prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Trust Estate
attaching subsequent to the Lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of
money by the Beneficiary under this Section 15 shall be deemed or construed to
cure the Mortgagor's Default or waive any right or remedy of the Beneficiary
hereunder.

                  16. The Mortgagor's Existence; Organization and Authority;
Litigation. The Mortgagor shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force

                                       42
<PAGE>   47

and effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a
limited partnership and its right to own property or transact business in the
state in which each of the Properties is located.

                  17. Protection of Security; Costs and Expenses. The Mortgagor
shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
security hereof or the rights or powers of the Beneficiary or the Trustees
hereunder and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, cost of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, in any such action or proceeding in which the Beneficiary may
appear, and in any suit brought by the Beneficiary to foreclose this Mortgage or
to enforce or establish any other rights or remedies of the Beneficiary
hereunder. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under this Mortgage,
or if any action or proceeding is commenced in which it becomes necessary to
defend or uphold the Lien or priority of this Mortgage or which adversely
affects the Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Estate, or Property or any part
thereof, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, enforcement of, or
proceedings of any nature whatsoever under any Legal Requirement affecting the
Trust Estate or involving the Mortgagor's bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement,
reorganization or other form of debtor relief, then the Beneficiary, upon
reasonable notice to the Mortgagor, may, but without obligation to do so and
without releasing the Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, may make such
appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as the Beneficiary deems
necessary or appropriate to protect the Beneficiary's interest in the Trust
Estate, including, but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorneys'
fees, entry upon any Property to make repairs or take other action to protect
the security hereof, and payment, purchase, contest or compromise of any
encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of the Beneficiary appears to
be prior or superior hereto. All of the costs, expenses and amounts set forth in
this Section 17 shall be payable by the Mortgagor on demand, together with
interest thereon at the rate then in effect with respect to the Note (except
during the continuance of an Event of Default in which case interest shall
accrue at the Default Rate), from the date of notice to Mortgagor of any such
payment by the Beneficiary (or the Trustees) until the date of repayment by the
Mortgagor, shall be deemed to be Indebtedness hereunder and shall be secured
hereby. Nothing contained in this Section 17 shall be construed to require the
Beneficiary to incur any expense, make any appearance, or take any other action.

                  18.  Management of the Properties.

                           (a) The Mortgagor covenants and agrees with the
Beneficiary that the Properties will be managed at all times in a manner
consistent with past

                                       43
<PAGE>   48

practice by Mortgagor or by another manager acceptable to the Beneficiary. Upon
the appointment of any manager (other than the Mortgagor or an affiliate), the
Beneficiary shall have the right to approve (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) any management agreement with such manager and
any such management agreement shall provide that it is subject and subordinate
to the terms and provisions of this Mortgage.

                           (b) It is acknowledged and agreed that any management
agreement may be terminated at the direction of the Beneficiary at any time
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder and,
if any such management agreement is so terminated, a substitute manager shall be
appointed by the Beneficiary.

                  19. Environmental Matters.

                           (a) The Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that
with respect to the Properties, except as set forth in the environmental reports
delivered to the Beneficiary prior to the Closing Date or otherwise disclosed in
writing to Beneficiary prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the
"Environmental Reports") (i) the Mortgagor and the Properties (x) are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, (y)
to Mortgagor's knowledge, has all material permits, licenses, approvals,
rulings, variances, exemptions or other authorizations required under applicable
Environmental Laws to operate the Trust Estate as presently conducted or as
reasonably anticipated to be conducted, (z) has received no written
communication, from a Governmental Authority or any other Person, alleging that
the Mortgagor is not in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, and there
are no events or circumstances, to the Mortgagor's knowledge, that may prevent
or interfere with such full compliance in the future, (ii) there is no
Environmental Claim pending or, to Mortgagor's knowledge, threatened against the
Mortgagor, (iii) to the Mortgagor's knowledge, there are no past or present
actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents including,
without limitation, the release, emission, discharge or disposal of any Material
of Environmental Concern, that could reasonably be expected to form the basis of
any Environmental Claim against the Mortgagor, (iv) without in any way limiting
the generality of the foregoing and except as disclosed in the Environmental
Reports (A) there are no sites on any Property in which the Mortgagor has stored
(except in full compliance with Environmental Laws), disposed of or arranged for
the disposal of Material of Environmental Concern, (B) to Mortgagor's knowledge,
there are no underground storage tanks located on any Property (C) to
Mortgagor's knowledge, there is no

                                       44
<PAGE>   49

asbestos contained in or forming a part of any Improvement on any Property in
violation of any Environmental Laws, and (D) to Mortgagor's knowledge, no
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are used or stored on any Property, except in
compliance with Environmental Laws.

                          (b) The Mortgagor covenants and agrees with the
Beneficiary that it shall comply with all Environmental Laws, except for such
instances of non-compliance which, singly, or in the aggregate, are not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. If at any time during the
continuance of the Lien of this Mortgage, Material of Environmental Concern are
discovered in, around, on, or under any Property, in such concentrations as a
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Trust Estate would require
remedial action to correct (an "Environmental Event"), the Mortgagor shall
deliver notice of the occurrence of such Environmental Event to the Beneficiary
promptly after Mortgagor becomes aware of such Environmental Event. Within (30)
thirty days after Mortgagor becomes aware of the occurrence of an Environmental
Event, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the Beneficiary an Officers' Certificate
(an "Environmental Certificate") explaining the Environmental Event in
reasonable detail, setting forth to the Beneficiary the estimated cost (as
determined at such time) of remedying such Environmental Event and the proposed
method of remediation and time to complete such remedy. The Mortgagor shall
complete, or cause the appropriate third party to complete, such remedy as
promptly as possible in the ordinary course of business. If an Environmental
Event occurs, the Mortgagor shall diligently remedy or diligently cause the
appropriate third party to remedy all conditions giving rise to such
Environmental Event in accordance with all Environmental Laws.

                          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided
in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document, the indemnification provided in
the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be fully recourse to the Mortgagor
and shall be independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the
Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created under this Mortgage, and/or the
conveyance of title to any Property to the Beneficiary or any purchaser or
designee in connection with a foreclosure of this Mortgage or conveyance in lieu
of foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the indemnity
contained in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement be assignable by the
Beneficiary to any such purchaser at or subsequent to a foreclosure sale.

                20. Assignment of Rents. Beneficiary and the Mortgagor hereby
confirm that Beneficiary has granted to the Mortgagor a license to collect and
use the

                                       45
<PAGE>   50

Rents as they become due and payable under the Leases in accordance with the
provisions of the Assignment of Leases and Rents, until an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; provided that the existence of such right shall not
operate to subordinate the Assignment of Leases and Rents to any subsequent
assignment, in whole or in part by the Mortgagor, and any such subsequent
assignment shall be subject to Beneficiary's rights under this Mortgage. The
Mortgagor further agrees to execute and deliver such assignments of leases as
Beneficiary may from time to time reasonably request in order to better assure,
transfer and confirm to Beneficiary the rights intended to be granted to
Beneficiary with respect thereto. In accordance with the provisions of the
Assignment of Leases and Rents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (1) the Mortgagor agrees that Beneficiary may, but shall
not be obligated to, assume the management of the Properties, and collect the
Rents, applying the same upon the Obligations and (2) the Mortgagor hereby
authorizes and directs all tenants, purchasers or other persons occupying or
otherwise acquiring any interest in any part of the real property to pay the
Rents due under the Leases to Beneficiary upon Beneficiary's request.
Beneficiary shall have and hereby expressly reserves the right and privilege
(but assumes no obligation) to demand, collect, sue for, receive and recover the
Rents, or any part thereof, now existing or hereafter made, and apply the same
in accordance with this Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and
applicable law.

                21. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Beneficiary may take such actions against the Mortgagor and/or
against the Trust Estate or any portion thereof as the Beneficiary determines is
necessary to protect and enforce its rights hereunder, without notice or demand
except as set forth below. Any such actions taken by the Beneficiary shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the
Beneficiary may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of the Beneficiary permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents. Such actions may include the following:

                          (a) Acceleration. Subject to any applicable provisions
of the Note and the other Loan Documents, the Beneficiary may declare all or any
portion of the unpaid principal balance under the Note, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other unpaid Indebtedness, to be
immediately due and payable.

                                       46
<PAGE>   51

                          (b) Entry. The Beneficiary, personally, or by its
agents or attorneys, or the Jurisdictional Trustee, or by the appointment of a
receiver, at the Beneficiary's election, may enter into and upon all or any part
of the Trust Estate (including any Property and any part thereof), and may
exclude the Mortgagor, its agents and servants, including the manager therefrom;
and, the Beneficiary, having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and
control the Trust Estate or any part thereof and conduct the business thereof,
either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants,
attorneys or receiver. Upon every such entry, the Beneficiary may, at the
expense of the Trust Estate or the Mortgagor, from time to time, either by
purchase, repair or construction, maintain and restore the Trust Estate or any
part thereof, and may insure and reinsure the same in such amount and in such
manner as may seem to them to be advisable. Similarly, from time to time, the
Beneficiary may, at the expense of the Trust Estate or the Mortgagor make all
necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions,
betterments and improvements to and on the Trust Estate or any part thereof as
it may seem advisable. The Beneficiary shall also have the right to manage and
operate the Trust Estate or any part thereof and to carry on the business
thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor with respect
thereto, either in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, as may seem to them
to be advisable. In confirmation of GRANTING CLAUSE V, in the case of the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Beneficiary shall be
entitled to collect and receive all Rents, or any part thereof, to be applied to
the Obligations in the order of priorities and amounts as the Beneficiary shall
elect in its sole discretion. In the event the Beneficiary elects, in its sole
discretion, to apply the Rents to the Obligations in any order of priority
elected by Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall not have cause to claim that the
Rents so applied to the Obligations by the Beneficiary were misappropriated by
the Mortgagor. All actions which may be taken by the Beneficiary pursuant to
this subparagraph (b) may be taken by the Jurisdictional Trustee, upon the
direction of the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional Trustee, as
applicable, shall be liable to account only for rents, issues and profits and
other proceeds actually received by the Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional
Trustee.

                          (c) Foreclosure.

                                    (i) The Beneficiary, with or without entry,
        personally or by its agents or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may (i)
        sell or instruct the Jurisdictional Trustee, if applicable, to sell, to
        the extent permitted by law and pursuant to the power of sale granted
        herein, all and singular the Trust Estate, and all estate, right, title
        and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of

                                       47
<PAGE>   52

        redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels,
        and at such times and places as required or permitted by law and as are
        customary in any county or parish in which a Property is located and
        upon such terms as the Beneficiary may fix and specify in the notice of
        sale to be given to the Mortgagor (and on such other notice published or
        otherwise given as provided by law), or as may be required by law; (ii)
        institute (or instruct the Jurisdictional Trustee to institute)
        proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage
        under the provisions of the laws of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in
        which the Trust Estate or any part thereof is located, or under any
        other applicable provision of law; or (iii) take all steps to protect
        and enforce the rights of the Beneficiary, whether by action, suit or
        proceeding in equity or at law (for the specific performance of any
        covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Mortgage, or in aid
        of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure
        hereunder, or for the enforcement or any other appropriate legal or
        equitable remedy), or otherwise, as the Beneficiary, being advised by
        counsel and its financial advisor, shall deem most advisable to protect
        and enforce any of their rights or duties hereunder.

                                  (ii) The Beneficiary (or the Jurisdictional
        Trustee, as applicable), may conduct any number of sales from time to
        time. The power of sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more such
        sales as to any part of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall
        continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold.

                                  (iii) With respect to any Property, this
        Mortgage is made upon any statutory conditions of the state in which
        such Property is located, and, for any breach thereof or any breach of
        the terms of this Mortgage, the Beneficiary shall have the statutory
        power of sale, if any, provided for by the laws of such State.

                         (d) Specific Performance. The Beneficiary, in its sole
and absolute discretion, or the Jurisdictional Trustee, at the Beneficiary's
election, may institute an action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for
the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained
herein or in the Note or any other Loan Document, or in aid of the execution of
any power granted hereunder or for the enforcement of any other appropriate
legal or equitable remedy.

                         (e) Enforcement of Note. The Beneficiary or the
Jurisdictional Trustee, at the Beneficiary's election, may recover judgement on
the Note (or any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced thereby), either before,
during or after any

                                       48
<PAGE>   53

proceedings for the foreclosure (or partial foreclosure) or enforcement of this
Mortgage, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                         (f) Sale of Trust Estate; Application of Proceeds.

                                  (i) The Beneficiary (or the Jurisdictional
        Trustee, if applicable), may postpone any sale of all or any part of the
        Trust Estate to be made under or by virtue of this Section 21 by public
        announcement at the time and place of such sale, or by publication, if
        required by law, and, from time to time, thereafter, may further
        postpone such sale by public announcement made at the time of sale fixed
        by the preceding postponement.

                                  (ii) Upon the completion of any sale made by
        the Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional Trustee under or by virtue of this
        Section 21, the Beneficiary shall execute and deliver to the accepted
        purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed or deeds or other
        appropriate instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all its
        estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights so
        sold. The Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional Trustee, as applicable, is
        hereby appointed the true and lawful irrevocable attorney-in-fact of the
        Mortgagor in its name and stead or in the name of the Beneficiary to
        make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of
        the property and rights so sold under this Section 21, and, for that
        purpose, the Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional Trustee, as applicable,
        may execute all necessary deeds and other instruments of assignment and
        transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, the
        Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or
        attorneys or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue
        hereof. The Mortgagor shall, nevertheless, if so requested in writing by
        the Beneficiary, ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing
        and delivering to the Beneficiary or to such purchaser or purchasers all
        such instruments as may be advisable, in the reasonable judgment of the
        Beneficiary, for such purposes and as may be designated in such request.
        Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 21 shall
        operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and
        demand, whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in and to the
        property and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar against the
        Mortgagor, its successors and assigns and any Person claiming through or
        under the Mortgagor and their successors and assigns.

                                       49
<PAGE>   54

                                  (iii) The receipt of the Beneficiary or the
        Jurisdictional Trustee, as applicable, for the purchase money paid as a
        result of any such sale shall be a sufficient discharge therefor to any
        purchaser of the property or rights, or any part thereof, so sold. No
        such purchaser, after paying such purchase money and receiving such
        receipt, shall be bound to see to the application of such purchase money
        upon or for any trust or purpose of this Mortgage, or shall be
        answerable, in any manner, for any loss, misapplication or
        non-application of any such purchase money or any part thereof, nor
        shall any such purchaser be bound to inquire as to the authorization,
        necessity, expediency or regularity of such sale.

                                  (iv) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of
        this Section 21, the Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Trust
        Estate or any part thereof and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may
        make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Note
        secured by this Mortgage the net proceeds of sale, after deducting
        therefrom the expense of the sale and the costs of the action and any
        other sums which the Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this
        Mortgage. The person making such sale shall accept such settlement
        without requiring the production of the Note or this Mortgage, and
        without such production there shall be deemed credited to the
        Indebtedness and Obligations under this Mortgage the net proceeds of
        such sale. The Beneficiary, upon acquiring the Trust Estate or any part
        thereof shall be entitled to own, hold, lease, rent, operate, manage or
        sell the same in any manner permitted by applicable laws.

                         (g)  Voluntary Appearance; Receivers. After the
happening, and during the continuance of, any Event of Default, and immediately
upon commencement of (i) any action, suit or other legal proceeding by the
Beneficiary to obtain judgment for the principal and interest on the Note and
any other sums required to be paid pursuant to this Mortgage, or (ii) any
action, suit or other legal proceeding by the Beneficiary of any other nature in
aid of the enforcement of the Loan Documents or any of them, the Mortgagor will
(a) enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b)
if required by the Beneficiary, consent to the appointment of one or more
receivers of the Trust Estate and of the earnings, revenues, rents, issues,
profits and income thereof. After the happening, and during the continuance, of
any Event of Default, or upon the filing of a bill in equity to foreclose this
Mortgage or to enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof, or
upon the commencement of any other judicial proceeding to enforce any right of
the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary shall be entitled, as a matter of right, if it

                                       50
<PAGE>   55

shall so elect, without notice to any other party and without regard to the
adequacy of the security of the Trust Estate, forthwith, either before or after
declaring the principal and interest on the Note to be due and payable, to the
appointment of such a receiver or receivers. Any receiver or receivers so
appointed shall have such powers as a court or courts shall confer, which may
include, without limitation, any or all of the powers which the Beneficiary is
authorized to exercise by the provisions of this Section 21, and shall have the
right to incur such obligations and to issue such certificates therefor as the
court shall authorize.

                         (h) Retention of Possession. Notwithstanding the
appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, or any of
its property, or of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, the Beneficiary or the
Jurisdictional Trustee, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, shall be
entitled to retain possession and control of all property now or hereafter
granted to or held by the Beneficiary or the Jurisdictional Trustee, as
applicable, under this Mortgage.

                         (i) Suits by the Beneficiary. All rights of action
under this Mortgage may be enforced by the Beneficiary without the possession of
the Note and without the production thereof or this Mortgage at any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the
Beneficiary shall be brought in the name of the Beneficiary and any recovery of
judgment shall be subject to the rights of the Beneficiary.

                         (j) Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No
delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to the Jurisdictional
Trustee and/or the Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often
as may be deemed expedient by the Jurisdictional Trustee (at the Beneficiary's
discretion) and the Beneficiary and each of them. Nothing contained in this
Mortgage shall affect the obligations of the Mortgagor to pay the principal of,
and interest on, the Note in the manner and at the time and place expressed in
the Note.

                         (k) Waiver of Rights. The Mortgagor agrees that to the
fullest extent permitted by law it will not, at any time, (a) insist upon, plead
or claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or moratorium
law, wherever

                                       51
<PAGE>   56

enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
and terms of performance of this Mortgage, (b) claim, take or insist upon any
benefit or advantage of any law, now or at any time hereafter in force,
providing for valuation or appraisal of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof,
prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision
herein contained, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of
competent jurisdiction, or (c) after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise
any right, under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted by the United
States of America, any State thereof or otherwise, to redeem the property and
rights sold pursuant to such sale or sales or any part hereof. The Mortgagor
hereby expressly waives all benefits and advantages of such laws, and covenants,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Beneficiary or
Trustees, but will suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no
such laws had been made or enacted. The Mortgagor for itself, and all who may
claim through or under it, waive, to the extent that they lawfully may do so,
any and all homestead rights, any and all rights to reinstatement, and any and
all right to have the property comprising the Trust Estate marshaled upon any
foreclosure of the lien hereof.

                22. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or
foreclosure of the Trust Estate shall be applied to the following in such
priority as the Beneficiary shall elect in its sole discretion: (a) to the
payment of the costs and expenses of the foreclosure proceedings (including,
without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements actually incurred
and advertising costs and expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred
under this Mortgage, and reasonable receivers' and trustees' fees and
commissions, together with interest at the Default Rate, (b) to the payment of
any other sums advanced by the Beneficiary in accordance with the terms hereof
and not repaid to it by the Mortgagor, together with interest at the Default
Rate from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (c) to the payment of
all sums due under the Note in such order as the Beneficiary may elect, (d) to
the payment of all sums due under any other Loan Document, in such order as the
Beneficiary shall elect, and (e) to the payment to the Mortgagor or other party
legally entitled thereto of any surplus.

                23. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE MORTGAGOR HEREBY WAIVES AND
SHALL WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY, OR COUNTERCLAIM ASSERTED BY THE BENEFICIARY WHICH ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISES

                                       52

OUT OF OR IS CONNECTED WITH THIS MORTGAGE, THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                24. Taxes. (a) In the event of the passage after the date hereof
of any law of the United States or of any state in which a Property is located
either (i) deducting from the value thereof, or changing in any way the laws for
the taxation of mortgages or debts secured thereby for federal, state or local
purposes, or the manner of collection of any such taxes, or (ii) imposing a tax,
either directly or indirectly, on mortgages or debts secured thereby, the
Mortgagor shall assume as an obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so
imposed, until full payment of the Note, provided such assumption shall be
permitted by law within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor from the
Beneficiary.

                         (b) All payments by Mortgagor of principal of, and
interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise,
stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other
charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority ("Taxes"), but
excluding (i) United States Federal income taxes, (ii) New York State income
taxes, and (iii) income taxes imposed by any other state. In the event that any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Mortgagor hereunder
is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or
regulation, then the Mortgagor will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority
the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to
the Beneficiary an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
Beneficiary evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to the
Beneficiary such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the
net amount actually received by the Beneficiary will equal the full amount the
Beneficiary would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
required. Moreover, if any Taxes (except taxes discussed in subsections (i)
through (iii) of this paragraph 24 (b)) are directly asserted against the
Beneficiary with respect to any payment received by the Beneficiary under the
Note, or hereunder, the Beneficiary may pay such Taxes and the Mortgagor will
within five (5) Domestic Business Days pay such additional amounts (including
any penalties, interest or expenses) as are necessary in order that the net
amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any
Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have
received had no such Taxes been asserted.

                         (c) If the Mortgagor fails to pay any Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Beneficiary the
required receipts

                                       53
<PAGE>   58

or other required documentary evidence, the Mortgagor shall indemnify the
Beneficiary for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Beneficiary as a result of any such failure.

                25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile
transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the
address, telex number or facsimile number set forth below or at such other
address, telex number or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify
for the purpose by notice to the other party. Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by telex or facsimile
transmission, when such telex or facsimile is transmitted to the telex number or
facsimile number specified in this Section and the appropriate answerback or
facsimile confirmation is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid,
addressed as aforesaid, (iii) if given by a nationally recognized overnight
carrier, 24 hours after such communication is deposited with such carrier with
postage prepaid, or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the
address specified in this Section. Notices shall be addressed as follows:

                26. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be altered,
amended, modified, changed or terminated orally, but only by a written agreement
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Mortgage is
delivered pursuant to, and upon and subject to, the terms of the Credit
Agreement. If there are any inconsistencies between this Mortgage and the Credit
Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall prevail.

                27. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
included hereunder.

                28. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of the Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
the Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have
standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any
circumstances, to be the beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may
be freely waived in whole or in part by the Beneficiary at any time if in its
sole discretion it deems it advisable to do so. All such covenants of the
Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind the Mortgagor, the successors and
assigns of the Mortgagor (and each of them) and all

                                       55
<PAGE>   60

subsequent owners, encumbrancers and Tenants of the Trust Estate, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Beneficiary, its successors and assigns. The word
"the Beneficiary" shall be construed to mean the Beneficiary named herein.

                29. Governing Law. This Mortgage and the obligations arising
hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State where the Properties are located. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Mortgage shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Mortgage shall be prohibited
by, or invalid under, applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Mortgage. Nothing contained in this Mortgage or in any Loan
Document shall require either the Mortgagor to pay or the Beneficiary to accept
any sum in any amount which would, under applicable law, subject the Beneficiary
or any Trustee to penalty or adversely affect the enforceability of this
Mortgage. In the event that the payment of any sum due hereunder or under any
Loan Document would have such result under applicable law, then, ipso facto, the
obligation of the Mortgagor to make such payments shall be reduced to the
highest sum then permitted under applicable law and appropriate adjustment shall
be made by the Mortgagor and the Beneficiary.

                30. Recording Fees, Taxes, Etc. The Mortgagor hereby agrees to
take all such further reasonable actions, and to pay all taxes, recording fees,
charges, costs and other reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' and reasonable professional fees and disbursements which
are currently or in the future shall be imposed, and which may be required or
necessary to establish, preserve, protect or enforce the Lien of this Mortgage.

                31. No Waiver. No failure by the Beneficiary to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such term or
right, power or remedy or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach shall
affect or alter this Mortgage, which shall continue in full force and effect, or
shall affect or alter the rights of the Beneficiary with respect to any other
then existing or subsequent breach.

                32. Further Assurances.

                         (a) The Mortgagor, at its own expense, will execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such reasonable further documents or instruments
including, without limitation, security agreements on any personalty included or
to be included

                                       56
<PAGE>   61

in the Trust Estate and a separate assignment of each Lease and take all such
actions as the Beneficiary from time to time may reasonably request to better
assure, transfer and confirm unto the Beneficiary the rights now or hereafter
intended to be granted to the Beneficiary under this Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents.

                         (b) The Mortgagor covenants to give notice to the
Beneficiary no less than thirty (30) days prior to a change of Mortgagor's
principal place of business.

                33. Additional Security. Without notice to or consent of the
Mortgagor and without impairment of the Lien and rights created by this
Mortgage, the Beneficiary may accept (but the Mortgagor shall not be obligated
to furnish) from the Mortgagor additional security for the Note. Neither the
giving of this Mortgage nor the acceptance of any such additional security shall
prevent the Beneficiary from resorting, first, to such additional security, and,
second, to the security created by this Mortgage without affecting the
Beneficiary's Lien and rights under this Mortgage.

                34. Indemnification by the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor will
protect, indemnify and save harmless the Beneficiary and every Trustee and all
officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees, successors and assigns
of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and
against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of
action, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the
Indemnified Parties or the Trust Estate or any part of its interest therein, by
reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to the extent the
insurance Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate)
prior to (i) the payment in full of the Note, (ii) the acceptance by the
Beneficiary of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the applicable
Property, or (iii) the Beneficiary's taking possession or control of the
applicable Property, except to the extent caused by the actual willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Beneficiary or any other Indemnified Party
(other than such willful misconduct or gross negligence imputed to the
Beneficiary solely because of its interest in the Trust Estate): (a) ownership
of the Mortgagor's interest in the Trust Estate, or any interest therein, or
receipt of any Rents or other sum therefrom, (b) any accident, injury to or
death of any persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the
Trust Estate or any appurtenances thereto, (c) any design, construction,
operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Trust Estate or
appurtenances thereto, including claims or penalties arising from violation of
any

                                       57
<PAGE>   62

Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any
patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by the Beneficiary, any
claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, and any Environmental Claim, (d)
any failure on the part of the Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the
material terms of any Lease within the applicable notice or grace periods, (e)
any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or
other property in respect of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, (f) any
negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of the Mortgagor or any of
its agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licenses or invitees,
(g) any contest referred to in Section 7 hereof, or (h) any obligation or
undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases. Any amounts
payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 34 which are not paid
within ten (10) Domestic Business Days after written demand therefor by the
Beneficiary; setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and
the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default
Rate, and shall be part of the Indebtedness and secured by this Mortgage. In
case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties
by reason of any such occurrence, the Mortgagor shall at the Mortgagor's expense
resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be
resisted and defended by counsel for the insurer of the liability or by counsel
designated by the Mortgagor (unless reasonably disapproved by the Beneficiary
promptly after the Beneficiary has been notified of such counsel); provided,
however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of the Beneficiary to
appoint its own counsel for its defense with respect to any action which in its
reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between the
Beneficiary and the Mortgagor that would make such separate representation
advisable. So long as the Mortgagor is resisting and defending such action, suit
or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner,
the Beneficiary shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding
and claim the benefit of this Section 34 with respect to such action, suit or
proceeding and the Beneficiary agrees that it will not settle any such action,
suit or proceeding without the consent of the Mortgagor; provided, however, that
if the Mortgagor is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in
a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, the Beneficiary
may settle such action, suit or proceeding subject only to the consent of the
Mortgagor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and
claim the benefit of this Section 34 with respect to settlement of such action,
suit or proceeding. The Beneficiary will give the Mortgagor prompt notice after
it obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by it for indemnification
hereunder; however, the failure of the

Beneficiary to give such notice to Mortgagor shall not affect Mortgagor's
obligations hereunder.

                35. Release. (a) If the Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid
the principal of and interest on the Note in full at maturity or earlier as
permitted in accordance with the terms thereof or the terms of the Credit
Agreement and all other Indebtedness payable to the Beneficiary hereunder by the
Mortgagor or secured hereby or by the other Loan Documents and all of the
Obligations shall have been performed, then this Mortgage and all Loan Documents
pertaining hereto shall be discharged and satisfied or assigned to the Mortgagor
or to any other Person at the Mortgagor's direction and without recourse to the
Beneficiary or any Trustee, at the Mortgagor's option, without warranty (except
as otherwise provided herein with respect to indemnities) at the expense of the
Mortgagor upon its written request. Concurrently with such release and
satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and all the other Loan Documents,
the Beneficiary shall return to the Mortgagor or the Borrower all insurance
policies relating solely to the Trust Estate which may be held by the
Beneficiary, and, on the written request and at the expense of the Mortgagor,
Beneficiary shall execute and deliver such proper instruments of release
(including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements) as may reasonably be
requested by the Mortgagor to evidence such release and satisfaction or
assignment, and any such instrument, when duly executed by the Beneficiary and
duly recorded in the places where this Mortgage and each other Loan Document is
recorded, shall conclusively evidence the release and satisfaction or assignment
of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

                         (b) Beneficiary shall release, or cause the Trustee to
release, the Lien of the Mortgage from the applicable Property, upon payment by
Mortgagor of the amount required under Section 2.9(b) of the Credit Agreement
and compliance with all other applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Concurrently with such release of this Mortgage and all other Loan Documents
relating solely to the Trust Estate, the Beneficiary shall return to the
Mortgagor all insurance policies relating solely to the Trust Estate which may
be held by the Beneficiary, and, on the written request and at the expense of
the Mortgagor, Beneficiary shall execute and deliver such proper instruments of
release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements) as may reasonably
be requested by the Mortgagor to evidence such release, and any such instrument,
when duly executed by the Beneficiary and duly recorded in the places where this
Mortgage and each other Loan Document is recorded, shall conclusively evidence
the release of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents relating solely to the
Trust Estate.

                36. Security Agreement.

                         (a) Security Intended. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Mortgage to the contrary, the parties intend that this document constitutes
security for the payment and performance of the Obligations and shall be a
"mortgage" or "deed of trust" under applicable law as set forth in Section 37.
If Section 37 provides that this document is intended to be a deed of trust and,
despite that intention, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this
document does not qualify as a "trust deed" or "deed of trust" under applicable
law, then ab initio, this instrument shall be deemed a realty mortgage under
applicable law and shall be enforceable as a realty mortgage, and, in such
event, or in the event that Section 37 provides that this document is intended
to be a mortgage, the Mortgagor shall be deemed a "mortgagor," Beneficiary shall
be deemed a "mortgagee," and Trustee shall have no capacity (but shall be
disregarded and all references to "Trustee" shall be deemed to refer to the
"mortgagee" to the extent not inconsistent with interpreting this instrument as
though it were a realty mortgage). As a realty mortgage, the Mortgagor, as
mortgagor, shall be deemed to have conveyed the Properties ab initio to
Beneficiary as mortgagee, such conveyance as a security to be void upon
condition that the Mortgagor pay and perform all its Obligations. The remedies
for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements
herein contained shall be as prescribed herein or by general law, or, as to that
part of the security in which a security interest may be perfected under the
UCC, by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and
specified in the UCC, all at Beneficiary's sole election.

                         (b) Fixture Filing; Personal Property. This Mortgage
constitutes a financing statement and, to the extent required under UCC
"9-402(f) because portions of the Properties may constitute fixtures, this
Mortgage is to be filed in the office where a mortgage for the Land Parcels
would be recorded. Beneficiary also shall be entitled to proceed against all or
portions of the Trust Estate in accordance with the rights and remedies
available under UCC "9-501(d). The Mortgagor is, for the purposes of this
Mortgage, deemed to be the Debtor, and Beneficiary is deemed to be the Secured
Party, as those terms are defined and used in the UCC. The Mortgagor agrees that
the Indebtedness and Obligations secured by this Mortgage are further secured by
security interests in all of the Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to
fixtures, Equipment, and other property covered by the UCC, if any, including
all personal property comprising part of the Trust Estate, which are used upon,
in, or about the Trust Estate (or any part) or which are used by the Mortgagor

                                       60
<PAGE>   65

or any other person in connection with the Trust Estate. The Mortgagor grants to
Beneficiary a valid and effective security interest in all of the Mortgagor's
right, title and interest in and to such personal property (but only to the
extent permitted in the case of leased personal property), together with all
replacements, additions, and proceeds. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, the
Mortgagor agrees that, without the written consent of Beneficiary, no other
security interest will be created under the provisions of the UCC and no lease
will be entered into with respect to any goods, fixtures, equipment, appliances,
or articles of personal property owned or leased by Mortgagor now attached to or
used or to be attached to or used in connection with the Trust Estate, except as
otherwise permitted hereunder. The Mortgagor agrees that all property of every
nature and description covered by the lien and charge of this Mortgage together
with all such property and interests covered by this security interest are
encumbered as a unit, and upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default
by Mortgagor, all of the Trust Estate, at Beneficiary's option, may be
foreclosed upon or sold in the same or different proceedings or at the same or
different time, subject to the provisions of applicable law. The filing of any
financing statement relating to any such property or rights or interests shall
not be construed to diminish or alter any of Beneficiary's rights of priorities
under this Mortgage.

                (c) As of the Closing Date, the principal office, chief
executive office and principal place of business of the Mortgagor is 20 South
Third Street, Columbus, Ohio, ______________

<PAGE>   5
                                                                               5

actual days the Principal Balance is outstanding hereunder divided by 360 days
and multiplied by the Applicable Interest Rate.

         4. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

                           (a) Payment of Interest. Commencing on November 1,
        2000, and on the first day of each succeeding month (each, an "Interest
        Payment Date") to and including the first day of the Loan Month in which
        the Maturity Date occurs, interest on the Principal Balance of the Loan
        at the Applicable Interest Rate shall be payable monthly in arrears.

        Date, a final installment shall be payable, which installment shall
        include:

                                   (i) all unpaid amounts of the Principal
                  Balance of the Loan;

                                   (ii) interest accrued and unpaid thereon at
                  the Applicable Interest Rate; and

                  the other Loan Documents, including the Structuring Fee, to
                  the extent not previously paid.

         5. EXTENSION. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall have the right to extend the maturity of this Note
(the "Extension") to April 16, 2001 (the "Extended Maturity Date") provided that
Borrower's right to extend the Loan shall be subject to the satisfaction of the
following conditions:

                  (a) delivery to Lender of (i) a written notice (the "Extension
         Notice") of the proposed extension on or before a date which is not
         less than ten (10) days prior to the Initially Scheduled Maturity Date;

                  (b) payment to Lender of the Extension Fee on the date that
         the Extension Notice is delivered;

                  (c) If not previously delivered, Borrower shall have delivered
         the Mortgage Collateral to Lender in recordable form for recordation,
         together with all other deliveries and payments described in Section
         29(n); and

                  (d) Borrower shall have paid the Structuring Fee in accordance
         with Section 25(b) of this Note.

         6. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each payment received by Lender from
Borrower with respect to this Note shall be applied: First, to the payment of
any late charges due and payable hereunder; Second, to the repayment of any
amounts advanced by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents for insurance
premiums, taxes, assessments or for preservation or protection of the collateral
covered by those documents and to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in connection with the collection of this Note (including, without
limitation, all attorneys' fees payable hereunder); Third, to the payment of
accrued interest; and Fourth, to reduction of the Principal Balance, or in such
order or proportion as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, may determine.
Payments shall be deemed made when checks drawn against good funds are received
by Lender.

                                                                               6

         7. PREPAYMENT.

                           (a) This Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part
         at any time upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to Lender
         (in accordance with the terms of this Section), provided that any such
         prepayment of all or any portion of the Principal Balance, whether
         voluntary or involuntary, shall be accompanied by (a) interest accrued
         to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, (b) if such
         prepayment occurs prior to the Initially Scheduled Maturity Date, the
         Prepayment Adjustment, and (c) payment of the Structuring Fee, to the
         extent not previously paid. As used herein, the term "Prepayment
         Adjustment" means an amount to be determined by Lender to equal the
         difference between the following: (x) the remaining interest that would
         have been paid on the Loan calculated as follows: the Principal Balance
         multiplied by the Applicable Interest Rate multiplied by the number of
         days in the period (the "Remaining Period") commencing on the
         prepayment date and ending on the Initially Scheduled Maturity Date,
         all divided by 360 less (y) the remaining interest that could be earned
         by Lender in the prevailing market calculated by multiplying the
         Principal Balance by the yield to maturity on the United States
         Treasury Obligation (offer side) having a maturity of three months (the
         "Treasury Rate") multiplied by the number of days in Remaining Period,
         all divided by 360. The calculation of the Prepayment Adjustment will
         be performed by Lender and will be binding on Borrower absent manifest
         error. The Bank and Borrower agree that in the event of a prepayment,
         the cost to Lender will be difficult to ascertain and that the
         Prepayment Adjustment constitutes a reasonable estimate of such cost
         and is not a penalty. Accordingly, the parties agree that upon the
         occurrence of a prepayment of the Loan prior to the Initially Scheduled
         Maturity Date, the Prepayment Adjustment shall be due from Borrower and
         Lender shall not be obligated to mitigate its costs to reduce such
         amount.

                           (b) Amounts prepaid under this Note may not be
         reborrowed.

                           (c) In the event of a sale of any asset of a
         Borrower, the net proceeds of such sale payable to Borrower shall,
         within two (2) days of such sale, be paid either to the lenders under
         the Revolving Credit Agreement (or the replacement thereof), or if not
         so paid, to Lender, in repayment of the unpaid principal balance of the
         Note, together with accrued interest on such amount. If such prepayment
         to Lender is made prior to the Initially Scheduled Maturity Date, the
         Prepayment Adjustment shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender
         and if such prepayment is of the entire Principal Balance, the
         Structuring Fee shall be due and payable with such prepayment.

         8. MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. All agreements between the Borrower and
the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or
oral, are hereby expressly

<PAGE>   7
                                                                               7

limited so that in no contingency or event, whether by reason of acceleration of
the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be
paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned
under this Note or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant
or obligation contained herein or in any other document evidencing, securing or
pertaining to the Loan exceed the Maximum Rate. If from any circumstances
whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or any of such other agreements
shall cause the amount paid to exceed the Maximum Rate, then ipso facto, the
amount paid to Lender shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate, and if from any such
circumstances the Lender shall ever receive interest or an amount which might be
deemed interest under applicable law which exceeds the Maximum Rate, such amount
which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal of this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note such excess shall
be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender,
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment
in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does
not exceed the Maximum Rate now or as hereafter amended, throughout the term
thereof, (ii) be characterized as a fee, expense or other charge other than
interest, and/or (iii) exclude any voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede
every other provision of all agreements between the Lender and the Borrower.

         9. SECURITY. Payment of this Note is secured by the Loan Documents. All
of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained
in the Loan Documents which are to be kept and performed by Borrower are hereby
made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect
as if they were fully set forth herein, and Borrower covenants and agrees to
keep and perform them, or cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in
accordance with their terms.

         10. LATE CHARGES. Time is of the essence hereof and if any of the
Principal Balance or interest on this Note or other sum due hereunder is not
paid within 10 days of notice that such payment is due, Borrower shall, at
Lender's sole option, pay to Lender a late charge payment of up to four percent
(4%) of the amount of such installment as specified in a written demand for
same. Such late charge shall not be applicable to the total payment due on the
Maturity Date; provided, however, no applicable grace or cure period shall apply
to such final payment. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the
right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a
default under this Note or the Loan Documents. Any late charges which may accrue
shall be due and payable not later than the date the next monthly installment is
due under this Note. Borrower agrees that the late charge is intended to
compensate Lender for damages Lender will suffer as a result of Borrower's late
payment. Such damages include additional expenses in servicing the Loan, sending
out notices, computing interest, segregating delinquent sums and accounting and
data processing costs. Borrower agrees that such damages are difficult or
impractical to ascertain, and the late charge is a fair and reasonable
approximation of the amount of damages sustained by Lender for each late
payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the 10 day grace
period is only applicable with respect to the assessment of the late charge, and
should not be construed as a modification or

<PAGE>   8

                                                                               8

waiver of the due date otherwise specified for any sums due Lender hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents. Failure to pay said late charge following
written demand shall constitute an Event of Default.

         11. DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
outstanding balance of this Note, plus all amounts then unpaid under any Loan
Document, shall each bear interest at the Default Rate for so long as the Event
of Default shall remain uncured, payable on each Interest Payment Date. In
addition, Lender, at its option and without further notice, demand or
presentment for payment to Borrower or others, may declare immediately due and
payable the unpaid Principal Balance and interest accrued thereon together with
all other sums owed by Borrower under this Note and the other Loan Documents
(including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees as provided in Section
13), anything in this Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding. Payment of such sums may be enforced and recovered in whole or
in part at any time by one or more of the remedies provided to Lender in this
Note or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, (as defined in the definition of Event of
Default), the unpaid Principal Balance and interest accrued thereon together
with all other sums owed by Borrower under this Note and the other Loan
Documents (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees as provided
in Section 13) shall automatically become due and payable.

         12. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies of Lender, as provided in this
Note, the Pledge Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole
discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as open as occasion therefor shall
occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be
construed as a waiver or release thereof. In any action, sale of collateral, or
other proceedings to enforce this Note or any other Loan Document, Lender need
not file or produce the original of this Note, but only need file or produce a
photocopy of this Note certified by Lender to be a true and correct copy of this
Note.

         13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that suit be brought hereon, or an
attorney be employed or expenses be incurred to compel payment of this Note or
any portion of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or to defend the Lender's
interest under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower promises to pay all such
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees
incurred in collecting attorneys' fees) all as actually incurred by Lender as a
result thereof and including, without limitation (a) reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses incurred in appellate proceedings or in any action or
participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapters 7
or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto, and (b)
reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred as a result of Lender
exercising its rights to cure any Event of Default by Borrower under this Note
or any other Loan Document, or as a result of the foreclosure, assignment in
lieu thereof or enforcement of any Loan Document. Additionally, Borrower agrees
to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses attributable to any
subsequent modification or restructure of this Note.

         14. WAIVER OF NOTICE BY BORROWER. BORROWER WAIVES DILIGENCE,
PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DEMAND, NOTICE OF

THIS NOTE, THE RELEASE OF ANY PARTY LIABLE, THE RELEASE OF ANY SECURITY FOR THE

FORBEARANCE.

         15. NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of
omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the
extent specifically set forth in the writing. The acceptance by Lender of any
payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and
payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right
to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time
or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express consent of
Lender, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. A waiver with
reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or
waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.

         16. GOVERNING LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. PURSUANT TO SECTION
5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BORROWER AGREES

hereby agree that the Loan Documents supersede any prior oral or written

         24. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence for the performance of
each and every covenant of Borrower hereunder. No excuse, delay, act of God, or

defer, reduce or waive Borrower's performance of any such covenant or
obligation.

         25. FEES AND EXPENSES. (a) On the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay

                                                                              11

         26. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of each Borrower
under this Note shall be joint and several and Lender may enforce such

         27. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Not later than thirty (30) days after the end
of each monthly period, Borrower shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and
deliver to Lender, monthly operating statements relating to the Projects for
such monthly period (which statements shall include income and disbursements).

         28. SECURITY INTEREST IN CASH FLOW FROM PROJECTS. As collateral
security for the full and punctual payment of the Indebtedness (whether upon
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), GPLP hereby pledges and grants
to Lender, a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, and, as
a part of such grant and pledge, hereby transfer and assign to Lender, as
collateral security for the Indebtedness all rents, income, revenue, issues,
receipts, profits, cash flow and proceeds from, or related to, the Projects.

         29. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

                           (a) GPLP is the legal and beneficial owner of and has
         good and marketable fee simple title to each of the Projects and has
         good title to all of the other collateral pledged by it pursuant hereto
         or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto or any
         other Loan Document, free and clear of all claims, pledges, liens,
         encumbrances and security interests of every nature whatsoever except
         in favor of Lender and has the unqualified right to pledge and grant a
         security interest in each Project provided without the consent of any
         other person, firm or entity which has not been obtained, delivered to
         Lender and is in full force and effect.

                           (b) GPLP will not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose
         of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge, grant a
         security interest in or otherwise encumber any Project or any interest
         therein, directly or indirectly, or suffer any of the same to exist
         (any of the foregoing, a "Transfer"); and any Transfer of any nature
         whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of
         no force and effect, and upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith be
         canceled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing. Borrower
         agrees at the request of Lender and at Borrower's sole cost and
         expense, to record in the real estate records in the jurisdictions
         where the Projects are located, an agreement similar in substance to
         this subparagraph (b), which agreement will not be released prior to
         the date that the Loan is repaid in full.

                           (c) The principal place of business and chief
         executive office of GPLP is at its address first set forth above. No
         Borrower will change such principal place of business or chief
         executive office or remove such records or change its name, identity or
         structure unless such Borrower shall provide Lender with at least
         thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof.

                           (d) There are no currently effective financing
         statements on file in any jurisdiction covering any Project or portion
         thereof. Borrowers will not, without the prior

         the Indebtedness, there will not ever be on file in any public office,
         any financing statement or statements covering any or all of the
         Projects, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of
         Lender, as secured party.

                           (e) No Borrower is insolvent (in any sense of the
         word) now, nor was it insolvent at the time it acquired title to the
         Projects, nor will it be rendered insolvent by reason of this Note.

         validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and
         authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which
         it is now engaged. Each such party is duly qualified to do business and
         is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so
         qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations
         and possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations,
         governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its
         properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged.

                           (g) Each Borrower has taken all necessary action to
         authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents
         to which it is a party. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents

         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of
         creditors generally and general principles of equity (regardless of
         whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)
         without offset, defense or counterclaim.

                           (h) The execution, delivery and performance by each
         Borrower of this Note and the other Loan Documents to which they are a
         party will not conflict with or result in a material breach of any of
         the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in
         the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other
         than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of such parties'
         properties or assets pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage,
         deed of trust, loan agreement, organizational agreement or other
         agreement to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or
         assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the
         provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court
         or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over it or any of
         its properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization,
         order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such
         regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for
         the execution, delivery and performance by such parties of this Note
         and the other Loan Documents to which they are a party has been

         Loan Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of
         the Borrowers contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
         to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
         herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
         which they were made. There is no fact or circumstance presently known
         to it which has

                                                                              13

         not been disclosed to Lender and which materially adversely affects, or
         is likely to materially adversely affect, the Projects, any Borrower or
         their business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise).

                           (j) No Borrower is an employee benefit plan subject
         to Title I of ERISA and none of their assets constitutes or will

                           (k) No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used
         for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin stock" within
         the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
         Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent
         with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of
         Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by legal requirements or by
         the terms and conditions of this Note or the other Loan Documents.

                           (l) No Borrower is (i) an "investment company" or a
         company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of
         the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or (ii) a "holding
         company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
         "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company"
         within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
         as amended.

                           (m) The Borrowers agree that all of the covenants
         (including those contained in Sections 10 and 11 thereof) of the
         Borrowers and Glimcher Realty Trust contained in the Revolving Credit
         Agreement as it exists on the date hereof are hereby expressly
         incorporated by reference in this Agreement, whether or not such
         covenants have been modified or waived and whether or not the Revolving
         Credit Agreement is in full force and effect (provided that if any such
         covenants are modified or if a new senior revolving credit agreement is
         entered into with covenants more restrictive to Borrowers or its
         subsidiaries, such modified covenants shall be incorporated herein). If
         prior approval of the "Required Banks" or the "Agent" or of any
         "Lender" (as such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement)
         is required under the Revolving Credit Agreement in order for a
         Borrower or Glimcher Realty Trust to be permitted to deviate from such
         covenants, neither Borrower nor Glimcher Realty Trust shall take any
         such action or be granted any waiver of such covenants under this Note
         without the prior written approval of Lender. If at any time prior to
         the payment in full of the Indebtedness, the Revolving Credit Agreement
         is no longer outstanding, then the affirmative and negative covenants
         in such Revolving Credit Agreement shall continue to apply with the
         same force and effect as if such Revolving Credit Agreement were still
         outstanding. The Borrowers agree that, separate and apart from the
         obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, Lender shall be
         entitled to enforce the covenants incorporated by reference herein as
         if such covenants were fully set forth herein. Nothing contained herein
         shall be interpreted or construed to limit the rights of Lender to
         enforce its rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents.

                           (n) Within ten business days of request by Lender,
         Borrower shall deliver the Mortgage Collateral to Lender as collateral
         for this Note, together with (i) the

<PAGE>   14

         payment of all title insurance premiums, including endorsements
         required by Lender or its counsel, (ii) the payment of all applicable
         mortgage recording taxes and filing fees, (iii) if required by Lender,
         favorable opinions of counsel qualified in the relevant jurisdictions
         where the Projects are located, confirming the enforceability and other
         customary matters relating to the Mortgage Collateral, (iv) the title
         insurance described in the definition of Mortgage Collateral in Section
         1 above, (v) recent environmental audits showing no matters
         unsatisfactory to Lender, (vi) UCC-1 Financing Statements required by
         Lender or its counsel to perfect Lender's security interest in fixtures
         and personal property located at the Projects; (viii) ALTA surveys of
         the Projects showing no matters unsatisfactory to Lender and its
         counsel, and (ix) such other documents and deliveries reasonably
         requested by Lender as are customarily required to be delivered to
         institutional lenders in connection with mortgaged properties similar
         to the Projects.

                           (o) On or prior to the date of this Note, Borrower
         has delivered to Lender a letter from a national title insurance
         company (the "Title Company"), certifying that the Projects are each
         owned by GPLP and that no Project is encumbered by a mortgage, deed of
         trust or security interest (a "Security Instrument"). Within 15
         business days of the date of this Note, Borrower shall cause title
         insurance commitments of the Title Company to be delivered to Lender
         with respect to the Projects. It shall be an immediate Event of Default
         hereunder if such title commitments indicate that GPLP is not the owner
         in fee simple of each Project or that there are any Security
         Instruments encumbering any Projects or any other monetary lien
         encumbering any Project other than mechanics' liens and municipal liens
         which Borrower will bond over or otherwise discharge within 15 days of
         discovery.

                           (p) GPLP shall not transfer any of its assets to
         Glimcher Realty Trust, other than in the ordinary course of business.
