3.5    Property Taxes and Contest of Liens.
Notwithstanding the Tax and Insurance Deposits required by Section 3.3, Mortgagor shall be responsible for the payment, before delinquency and before any penalty attaches or interest is payable, of all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments (general or special), water charges, sewer charges and any other charges, fees, taxes, claims, levies, charges, expenses, liens and assessments, ordinary or extraordinary, governmental or nongovernmental, statutory or otherwise, that may be levied, assessed or asserted against the Secured Property or any part thereof or interest therein (collectively, "Taxes").  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Mortgagor may, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, contest the validity or amount of any Taxes as well as any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other liens or claims of lien upon the Secured Property (collectively, the "Contested Liens"), provided that:
(a)    such contest shall have the effect of preventing the collection of the Contested Liens and the sale or forfeiture of the Secured Property or any part thereof or interest therein to satisfy the same; and
(b)    Mortgagor shall first notify State Farm in writing of the intention of Mortgagor to contest the same before any Contested Liens have been increased by any interest, penalties or costs.
3.6    Tax and Lien Payments by State Farm.
(a)    Upon the failure of Mortgagor to pay the Tax Deposits as required in Section 3.3 or, in the event said payments are waived by State Farm, to pay the Taxes required to be paid in Section 3.5 above (unless Mortgagor is contesting the Taxes as provided in Section 3.5 above), State Farm is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any payment of Taxes in accordance with any tax bill or statement from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy or validity of any Taxes, sales, forfeiture of title or claim relating thereto.
(b)    State Farm is also authorized, in the place and stead of Mortgagor, to make any payment relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim, charge or payment otherwise relating to any other purpose but not enumerated in this Section, whenever, in State Farm’s judgment and discretion, such payment seems necessary to protect the full security intended to be created by this Mortgage.
(c)    All such payments authorized by this Section 3.6 that are not promptly reimbursed by Mortgagor shall constitute additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to State Farm upon demand with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such payment.
3.7    Insurance.
(a)    Mortgagor shall insure and keep insured the Secured Property and each and every part thereof against such perils and hazards as State Farm may from time to time require, and in any event including:

The policy shall name State Farm as an additional insured;
(iii)    Steam boiler, machinery and pressurized vessel insurance (if applicable to the Improvements);
(iv)    If the Secured Property is occupied by a tenant or tenants, rent loss insurance in an amount sufficient to cover loss of rents from the Secured Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months or, in the alternative, if the Secured Property is occupied by Mortgagor, business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to cover loss of gross earnings from the Secured Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months;
(v)    If any building or other structure on the Secured Property is situated in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a "Special Flood Hazard Area" (Zone A or Zone V), evidence of flood insurance in an amount equal to the least of (A) the minimum amount required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss on a full replacement cost basis; (B) the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness; or (C) the maximum limit of coverage available for the Secured Property under the National Flood Insurance Program; provided, however, that, in the event the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness is less than 80% of the replacement cost under subsection (A), the flood insurance coverage shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of the amounts set forth in subsections (A) or (C).  The policy shall name State Farm as the first mortgagee under a standard mortgagee’s endorsement clause;
(vi)    Either affirmative coverage for acts of terrorism in its property and liability insurance or evidence that coverage for acts of terrorism is not excluded from its property and liability insurance;

(ii)    contain endorsements naming State Farm as first mortgagee under a standard mortgagee clause under the required property, steam boiler and rent loss insurance policies and as an additional insured for the commercial general liability insurance policy;

(iv)    permit State Farm to pay any premium within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of notice stating that such premium has not been paid when due; 
(v)    require that settlement of any claim under any of the referenced policies shall require State Farm’s prior written approval to the extent that the loss is in excess of $250,000.00; and
(vi)    contain exclusions to coverage acceptable to State Farm.
(c)    The policy or policies of such insurance or certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage shall be delivered to State Farm.
(d)    Mortgagor shall not purchase separate insurance policies concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with those policies required to be maintained under this Section 3.7.
3.8    Insurance Premium Payment by State Farm, Use of Proceeds.
(a)    In the event Mortgagor fails to make the Insurance Deposits as required by Section 3.3, or if such Insurance Deposits have been waived by State Farm, upon State Farm’s receipt of written notice (i) of an unpaid insurance premium; (ii) of a termination or cancellation (pursuant to a nonrenewal notice or otherwise) of any required insurance policy; or (iii) that a required insurance policy is not to be renewed and Mortgagor fails to provide replacement coverage at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of existing coverage, State Farm may, at its option, procure and substitute another policy of insurance in the amount required pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Mortgage with such companies as State Farm may select, the cost of which shall be paid by Mortgagor upon demand should the amount available from the Insurance Deposits be insufficient to pay the premium therefor.  All sums paid by State Farm in procuring said insurance that are not promptly reimbursed by Mortgagor shall be additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable without notice, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payment.
(b)    In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall promptly notify State Farm and take such action necessary to preserve the undamaged portion of the Improvements.  If at the time of such damage and destruction, 
(i)    no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default; 

9
Loan No.14707

Exhibit 10.1

(ii)    the damage is such that it can be reasonably repaired within the time provided in the Leases so as to preclude a material reduction in the rental income from the Secured Property (after application of any rental insurance proceeds), or Mortgagor obtains written commitments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to State Farm from tenants to lease space, upon completion of repairs, in the Secured Property at aggregate rentals equal to or exceeding the debt service of the Loan and the general operating expenses of the Secured Property; 
(iii)    the Proceeds are less than the outstanding Indebtedness under the Loan; 
(iv)    the casualty insurer has not denied liability for payment of Proceeds as a result of any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the Secured Property by Mortgagor or any tenant of the Secured Property; 
(v)    the Real Estate and/or Improvements can be restored to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed at the closing of the Loan (with any post-closing improvements included in such Restoration (as defined in this Section 3.8)); and
(vi)    if required by State Farm, a satisfactory report addressed to State Farm from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to State Farm certifies that no adverse environmental impact to the Secured Property has resulted from the casualty; 
then, any Proceeds paid to State Farm in connection with such damage or destruction, after deducting therefrom any expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by State Farm in protecting the undamaged portion of the Improvements and in the collection of the Proceeds (the "Collection Expenses"), shall be applied by State Farm to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding (herein generally called "Restoration") the Real Estate and/or Improvements or any part thereof as set forth in Section 3.10.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, to the extent that the Proceeds pursuant to an event resulting in damage to the Improvements are equal to or less than $250,000.00 and State Farm would apply such proceeds to the cost of Restoration as provided above, then, in such event, State Farm will release such Proceeds directly to Mortgagor (or permit the release of such Proceeds by the casualty insurer directly to Mortgagor), and Mortgagor shall repair or restore the Real Estate and Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage or destruction, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements. 
Otherwise, in State Farm’s sole discretion, all Proceeds, less Collection Expenses, shall be applied:  (A) to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (B) to the cost of Restoration as set forth in Section 3.10.  
(c)    If State Farm applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness pursuant to the preceding sentence, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full 

10
Loan No.14707

Exhibit 10.1

which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagor may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application. 
3.9    Condemnation.
(a)    Mortgagor shall give State Farm prompt notice of any proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or taking by eminent domain or any like process (a "Taking") of all or any part of the Real Estate or Improvements including any easement thereon or appurtenance thereto (including severance of, consequential damage to or change in grade of streets) and shall deliver to State Farm copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding.
(b)    Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto State Farm the entire Proceeds of any and all awards resulting from any Taking.  State Farm is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities the entire Proceeds and is further authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor.
(c)    In the event of any such Taking, any and all such Proceeds shall be applied, after deducting therefrom any Collection Expenses, in State Farm’s sole discretion but subject to the further terms of this Section 3.9, to: (i) the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (ii) the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10. 
(d)    If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by State Farm at the cost and expense of Mortgagor) but are less than the outstanding Indebtedness under the Loan as of the date of such Taking and are received at least two years prior to the Maturity Date; (ii) the requirements stated in Sections 3.8(b)(i), (ii) and (v) above are satisfied; and (iii) in State Farm’s reasonable judgment, the remainder of the Secured Property can be operated (A) as an economically viable project at substantially the same level of operations which existed immediately prior to the Taking; and (B) at the functional equivalent of its condition (considering, without limitation, the effect of the Taking on the remaining leasable area, parking and access) prior to the Taking (the "Viability Requirements"); then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10.
(e)    If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking do not exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by State Farm at the cost and expense of Mortgagor); and (ii) no Event of Default is in existence on the date of such Taking and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and (iii) the Viability Requirements are met; then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be disbursed to Mortgagor for the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10.
(f)    If State Farm applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds.  In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness because State Farm has determined that the Viability Requirements have not been satisfied, and 

11
Loan No.14707

Exhibit 10.1

provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagor may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Taking is, in State Farm’s reasonable determination, of such a nature that the Real Estate and the Improvements will not require Restoration, all Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied in State Farm’s sole discretion to installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds.

(a)    In the event State Farm elects (or is required hereby) to make any Proceeds available for Restoration, Mortgagor shall complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by State Farm, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements. 
(b)    To the extent not automatically released to the Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, the Proceeds and, if applicable, other amounts payable by Mortgagor to State Farm necessary to complete Restoration shall be held by State Farm or if State Farm so desires, a disbursing agent selected by State Farm.  Said Proceeds may be invested using Mortgagor’s taxpayer identification number in an interest bearing account mutually acceptable to Mortgagor and State Farm.  The costs and expenses of administering disbursements shall be paid by Mortgagor.  In the event the amount of the Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of Restoration, Mortgagor shall pay to State Farm upon demand the cost of Restoration in excess of the Proceeds, such excess to be held by State Farm with the Proceeds.
(c)    Subject to State Farm’s right to limit the number of disbursements, the Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon State Farm’s receipt of architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements and such other evidence as State Farm or any disbursing agent may reasonably require to verify the cost and fact of the completion of the work included in said disbursement.  Under no circumstances shall any portion of the Proceeds be released until State Farm has been reasonably assured that the Proceeds remaining after the requested disbursement will be sufficient to complete Restoration.  No payment of Proceeds made prior to the final completion of Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time.  Any Proceeds remaining after Restoration shall, at State Farm’s option, either (i) be applied against the installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity without any prepayment fee or penalty, or (ii) released to the Mortgagor.

3.16    Declaration of Subordination.
At the option of State Farm, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any Award) to any and all Leases of all or any part of the Secured Property upon the execution by State Farm and recording thereof, at any time hereafter and in the appropriate official records of the county wherein the Real Estate is situated, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.

State Farm intends that Mortgagor shall not be required to pay, and State Farm shall not be entitled to receive or collect, interest in excess of the maximum legal rate permitted under applicable usury laws.  In the event State Farm or any court determines that any charge, fee or interest paid or agreed to be paid in connection with the Loan may, under applicable usury laws, cause the interest rate on the Loan to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, such charges, fees or interest shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by law and any amounts actually paid in excess of such maximum rate permitted by law shall, at State Farm’s option, be applied by State Farm to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or repaid by State Farm directly to Mortgagor.

(b)    The following definitions shall be applicable to all Leases of the Secured Property now or hereafter existing:
(i)    “Major Leases”:  Leases that (1) demise 10,000 square feet or more or (2) are a ground lease, together with all extensions, renewals, amendments, modifications, replacements and substitutions therefor; provided, however, a replacement or substitution for a Major Lease shall in turn be deemed a “Major Lease” only if such replacement or substitution (1) demises 10,000 square feet or more or (2) is a ground lease.
(ii)    “Minor Leases”:  Leases that are not Major Leases; provided, however, if any Minor Lease, after modification, meets the definition of a Major Lease, such Minor Lease shall thereupon become a Major Lease.

If Mortgagor shall neglect or refuse to so perform or fail to require such tenants to so perform, State Farm may, at its option, itself perform and comply or require performance or compliance by such tenants with any such Lease covenants, agreements and provisions.  Any sums expended by State Farm in performance of or compliance with such Leases or in enforcing performance of or compliance with such Leases by the tenants, including reasonable costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees, shall be paid to State Farm by Mortgagor upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payments and, in the absence of such payment, all such sums shall be deemed to be and become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.
(e)    Mortgagor expressly covenants and agrees that if Mortgagor, as landlord under the Major Leases: 

(i) fails to perform and fulfill any material term, covenant, condition or provision in any Major Lease on its part to be performed or fulfilled, at the times and in the manner provided in such Major Lease;  

(ii) does or permits to be done anything to impair the value of any Major Lease as security for the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, voluntary surrender or termination; 

(iii) fails to enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed by a tenant under any Major Lease; 

(iv) fails to pursue its remedies under any Major Lease (short of voluntary surrender or termination) following a breach or default by the tenant thereunder; or

(v) without State Farm’s prior written consent, permits or approves an assignment by any tenant under any Major Lease or a subletting of all or any part of the Secured Property demised in any Major Lease (other than in accordance with the terms of the applicable Major Lease previously approved by State Farm); 

then, upon the occurrence of any such actions or inactions referenced in (i) through (v) above, at the option of State Farm, and with written notice to Mortgagor, a default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder and, subject to the notice and cure periods provided in Section 4.1(b) below, at the option of State Farm, all unpaid Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall, notwithstanding anything in the Note or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, become due and payable.

Upon request of State Farm, Mortgagor shall promptly supply evidence of fulfillment of the foregoing acts and further assurances.

(f) All remedies of State Farm provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or by law, including any right of offset.  The exercise of any right or remedy by State Farm hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default or prejudice State Farm in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents.

(g)Intentionally Omitted.

(h)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of (i) a Transfer of all or any portion of the Secured Property by Mortgagor or a Transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the interests in the entity (or entities) comprising Mortgagor, each without the prior written consent of State Farm or in violation of Section 3.11; and/or (ii) the occurrence of any of the bankruptcy-related Events of Default under Sections 4.1(i)(C), 4.1(j), 4.1(k) (solely with respect to 

27
Loan No.14707

Exhibit 10.1

authorizing the action set forth in Section 4.1(i)(C)) or 4.1(l) of this Mortgage, in addition to the remedies specified in this Article Five, Mortgagor and Guarantor shall immediately and automatically be and become personally liable for the payment of the Indebtedness.

(i)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Article Five of this Mortgage, any foreclosure of all or any portion of the lien of this Mortgage shall be in accordance with the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Act, 735 ICLS 5/15-1101 et seq., as from time to time amended (the “Act”).

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly waives its rights to reinstatement and redemption as allowed under Section 15-1601(b) of the Act, and to the benefits of all present and future valuation, appraisement, homestead, exemption, stay, redemption and moratorium law, under any state or federal law.

(k)    The following notice is provided pursuant to paragraph (3) of 815 ILCS 180/10: Unless the Mortgagor provides evidence of the insurance coverage required by the Loan Documents, State Farm may purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense to protect State Farm’s interests in the Mortgagor’s collateral.  This insurance may, but need not, protect the Mortgagor’s interests.  The coverage that State Farm purchases may not pay any claim that the Mortgagor may make or any claim that is made against the Mortgagor in connection with the collateral.  The Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by State Farm, but only after providing evidence that the Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by the Loan Documents.  If State Farm purchases insurance for the collateral, the Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premium, interest and any other charges that State Farm may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance.  The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations of the Mortgagor.  The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance that the Mortgagor may be able to obtain on the Mortgagor’s own.

(iv)    The failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or any Leases affecting the Secured Property or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums, real estate taxes, regular or special assessments or utility charges affecting the Secured Property;
(v)    The failure of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to deliver to State Farm any Proceeds received by any of them relating to the Secured Property, or to use such Proceeds for Restoration of the Secured Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; 
(vi)    Any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties in any document executed or presented to State Farm in connection with the Loan; or
(vii)    The failure on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations under this subsection (vii) shall not apply to any costs incurred by or imposed upon State Farm which arise solely as a consequence of a condition coming into existence on the Secured Property subsequent to the time of both State Farm taking title to the Secured Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and State Farm taking physical possession of the Secured Property, unless such costs are incurred in connection with an event or events related to a condition existing at the Secured Property prior to or at the time of transfer of title and physical possession of the Secured Property to State Farm; provided, however, Mortgagor shall bear the burden of proof that such event or events: (A) occurred subsequent to the transfer of title and physical possession to State Farm; and (B) did not occur as a result of any action of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties.  
As used herein, "Losses" means any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, costs, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs of defense and internal administrative fees assessed by State Farm), judgments, awards or amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature.

7.14    Waiver of Trial by Jury.
Mortgagor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim filed by any party, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to this Mortgage or any acts or omissions of Mortgagor in connection therewith or contemplated thereby.
7.15    Servicing Fees and Expenses.
Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that State Farm shall impose certain reasonable administrative processing fees (the "Servicing Fees") in connection with (a) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and termination of the Loan Documents; (b) the release or substitution of collateral therefor; (c) the consideration of any consents, waivers and approvals with respect to the Secured Property or Mortgagor; (d) the review of any Lease or proposed Lease or the preparation or review of any tenant estoppel certificate or any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement; or (e) any other services provided by State Farm or any of its agents to or on behalf of Mortgagor in connection with the Secured Property, the Loan Documents or the Indebtedness secured thereby (the occurrence of any of the foregoing shall hereafter be referred to as a "Servicing Action").  Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees to pay, immediately, upon demand, all such Servicing Fees (as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time), and any additional fees of a similar type or nature that may be imposed by State Farm from time to time in connection with a Servicing Action.  Mortgagor shall also be responsible for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of State Farm’s outside counsel in the event that State Farm, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the assistance of an outside attorney is necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Servicing Action. 
7.16    Subrogation.
To the extent the proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Secured Property (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any prior lien), State Farm shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of State Farm and, to the extent permitted by law without impairing any of State Farm’s rights of subrogation, shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights and remedies under the lien or liens to which State Farm is subrogated hereunder.
7.17    Modifications and Extensions.
Mortgagor and State Farm may agree to (a) extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; (b) reduce, rearrange or otherwise modify the terms of payment thereof; (c) accept a renewal note or notes therefor; and (d) otherwise deal with the Secured Property or the Loan Documents, all without notice to or the consent of any junior lienholder or any other Person having an interest in the Secured Property and/or Collateral subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and without the consent of Mortgagor if Mortgagor has then parted with title to the Secured Property and/or Collateral.  No such extension, reduction, modification, renewal or dealing shall affect the priority of this Mortgage or release any liability of Mortgagor or any other Person or impair the security hereof in any manner whatsoever.

Exhibit 10.2

PROMISSORY NOTE
 $17,600,000.00
June 11, 2019
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, RPT ELSTON PLAZA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of STATE FARM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Illinois corporation, its successors or assigns ("State Farm"), the principal sum of Seventeen Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($17,600,000.00) ("Principal"), together with interest on the unpaid Principal balance outstanding from the date of disbursement until paid at the rate of three and eighty-nine hundredths percent (3.89%) per annum (the "Note Rate").  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year having twelve, thirty-day months.
I.Payments.
A.    On the date of disbursement, Maker shall pay interest only to State Farm for the period from (and including) the date of disbursement to (and including) June 30, 2019. On August 1, 2019 and on the first day of each succeeding month thereafter (each a "Regular Payment Date"), to and including July 1, 2021, Maker shall make monthly payments of accrued interest only to State Farm in fixed installments of Fifty Seven Thousand Fifty Three and 33/100 Dollars ($57,053.33) each (each a "Monthly Interest Payment").  On August 1, 2021 and on each Regular Payment Date thereafter to and including June 1, 2026, Maker shall pay Principal and interest to State Farm in fixed monthly installments of Eighty Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twelve and 81/100 Dollars ($82,912.81) each (a "Monthly Principal and Interest Payment", and hereafter, "Monthly Payment" means, as applicable, the Monthly Interest Payment or the Monthly Principal and Interest Payment that is payable by Maker pursuant to this Note).  Maker shall pay to State Farm a final payment of all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon on July 1, 2026 (the "Maturity Date").
B.    All required payments are to be made to State Farm at One State Farm Plaza, Bloomington, Illinois 61710-0001, Attention: Investment Accounting, D-3, or at any other place State Farm shall designate in writing.
C.    All Indebtedness (as defined in the Mortgage) is payable in lawful money of the United States of America that is legal tender for public and private debts.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Mortgage.
II.    Events of Default.
A.    It shall constitute an event of default (an "Event of Default") of and under this Promissory Note (this "Note") if any of the following events shall occur:
1.    Maker shall fail to pay any Monthly Payment when due under this Note. However, Monthly Payments received by State Farm within ten (10) days of the Regular Payment Date shall be considered made as required.  In the event the Monthly Payment and the Late Charge (as defined below) are not received by State Farm on or before the end of the calendar month in which 

1
Loan No. 14707

such Monthly Payment is due, the Default Rate (as defined below) shall apply from the first day of the month in which such Monthly Payment was due;
2.    Maker shall fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions of this Note and such failure shall remain uncured for thirty (30) days (the "Grace Period") after notice to Maker of the occurrence of such failure; provided, however, that State Farm may, at its option, extend any applicable Grace Period up to ninety (90) days if State Farm determines in good faith that: (i) such default cannot reasonably be cured within such Grace Period but can be cured within ninety (90) days; (ii) no lien or security interest created by the Loan Documents shall be impaired prior to the anticipated completion of such cure; and (iii) State Farm’s immediate exercise of any remedies provided in the Loan Documents or by law is not necessary for the protection or preservation of the Secured Property or State Farm’s security interest therein or lien thereon, and Maker shall immediately commence and diligently pursue the cure of such default; or
3.    An "Event of Default" (as defined in any of the Loan Documents) shall occur under any of the other Loan Documents.
B.    If any Monthly Payment payable under this Note is not paid on or before the tenth (10th) day after the applicable Regular Payment Date, Maker shall pay to State Farm an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid Monthly Payment or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law (as defined below) to defray the expenses incurred by State Farm in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to compensate State Farm for the loss of use of the delinquent payment (the "Late Charge").  For the avoidance of doubt, no Late Charge shall be applicable to the payment due on the Maturity Date.
C.    While any Event of Default exists, the Note Rate shall be increased to the lesser of eight and eighty-nine hundredths percent (8.89%) per annum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law (the "Default Rate").  The Default Rate shall accrue from the date of the first occurrence of the Event of Default to the date upon which the Event of Default is cured.  It is a condition precedent to the cure of any Event of Default that Maker shall pay all Principal and accrued interest required under this Note to the most current Regular Payment Date, plus the difference between the interest on the unpaid Principal balance calculated at the Default Rate and the interest on the unpaid Principal balance calculated at the Note Rate from the date of the first occurrence of the Event of Default to the date upon which the Event of Default is cured.
D.    Prior to an Event of Default, payments received by State Farm shall be applied first to interest and the remainder to Principal.  After an Event of Default, State Farm may, at its option, apply any payments or other amounts received first to any Late Charges, then to the payment of State Farm’s expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, then to interest, and the remainder to Principal.
E.    Upon an Event of Default, State Farm may, at its option and without further notice, declare the Indebtedness, including the entire Principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable.  Failure to exercise this option for a particular Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise same in case of any subsequent Event of Default.

2
Loan No. 14707

III.    Security.
This Note is secured by, among other Loan Documents (i) a Mortgage and Security Agreement executed by Maker to and in favor of State Farm of even date with this Note (the "Mortgage") which encumbers and constitutes a lien upon and security interest in certain real property and fixtures located in Cook County, in the State of Illinois (the "State") and certain other property, rights and interests, all as more fully described in the Mortgage (the "Secured Property"); and (ii) an Assignment of Rents and Leases executed by Maker to and in favor of State Farm of even date herewith (the "Assignment of Rents and Leases") in which Rents (as defined therein) and the Leases (as defined therein) are absolutely and unconditionally assigned by Maker to State Farm.
IV.    Prepayment.
A.    This Note shall be closed to prepayment through and including the later to occur of (i) July 1, 2021; or (ii) the date on which twenty four (24) Monthly Payments have been paid to State Farm.  Only thereafter, provided Maker first gives State Farm written notice at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days before the date selected by Maker for prepayment (which notice may be revoked by Maker) (the “Prepayment Date”), Maker may prepay the entire outstanding Principal on said Prepayment Date, provided that (i) all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents are also paid, and (ii) the amount prepaid is accompanied by a fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) calculated as follows:
1.    If on such Prepayment Date after at least twenty four (24) Monthly Payments have been paid to state Farm but less than forty nine (49) Monthly Payments have been paid to State Farm, the Prepayment Fee shall be equal to the greater of the following:
(a)    An amount equal to one percent (1%) of the entire Principal amount to be prepaid, or
(b)    If at the time of prepayment, the Reinvestment Yield (as defined below) is less than the Note Rate, the Prepayment Fee shall be calculated by:
(i)    Using the Reinvestment Yield corresponding to the payment frequency of this Note, adding the present values of: (i) the scheduled Monthly Payments remaining until the Maturity Date; plus (ii) the final Principal and accrued interest payment that would be due on the Maturity Date; and
(ii)    From the sum so obtained, subtracting the outstanding Principal balance of this Note as of the Prepayment Date.  The remainder shall be the Prepayment Fee (if such amount is greater than the amount determined by subsection (a) above).
2.    If on such Prepayment Date at least forty eight (48) Monthly Payments have been paid to State Farm but less than sixty one (61) Monthly Payments have been paid to State Farm, the Prepayment Fee shall be equal to one percent (1%) of the Principal amount to be prepaid.
As used herein, "Reinvestment Yield" means the yield, plus fifty (50) basis points, on United States Treasury Securities having the closest maturity (month and year) to the Maturity Date.  Should more 

3
Loan No. 14707

than one United States Treasury Security be quoted as maturing on the Maturity Date, then the yield of the United States Treasury Security quoted closest to par will be used in the calculation.
The Prepayment Fee shall be calculated two (2) business days before the Prepayment Date. Failure to prepay on the Prepayment Date shall be considered a waiver by Maker of the present right to prepay.
B.    If State Farm declares the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, Maker agrees that the Prepayment Fee, calculated as if the Prepayment Date were the date of acceleration, shall apply.  No Prepayment Fee will be charged in the event the Loan is prepaid in whole or in part by the application of insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Loan Documents.
C.    No Prepayment Fee shall be payable on or after the later of: (i) the date sixty (60) Monthly Payments have been paid to State Farm; and (ii) July 1, 2024.
V.    Limitation of Liability.
In consideration of the security provided by Maker to State Farm for repayment of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the liens on and security interests in the Secured Property granted pursuant to the Mortgage and the absolute and unconditional assignment of the Rents and Leases made pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and Leases, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents, State Farm agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, seek to enforce, nor shall State Farm be entitled to enforce, any deficiency or monetary judgment against Maker, any partner of Maker, any member of Maker, any shareholder of Maker or any beneficiary of Maker (individually, an "Exculpated Party", and collectively, the "Exculpated Parties"), personally, and shall not levy or execute judgment upon any property of the Exculpated Parties, other than the Secured Property; it being expressly agreed, acknowledged and understood, however, that the foregoing limitation of the liability of an Exculpated Party shall not apply to the extent that such Exculpated Party is, pursuant to the further terms hereof, liable for any Losses (as defined below) and nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair:
(a)    The existence of the Indebtedness and Obligations created in and evidenced by the Loan Documents;
(b)    The enforceability of the liens, security interests and assignments created in and granted by the Loan Documents against the Secured Property;
(c)    The enforceability of the Environmental Indemnity and any guaranty given to State Farm; 
(d)    The right of State Farm to recover from Maker all Indebtedness, including Principal, interest and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents, following (i) a Transfer of all or any portion of the Secured Property or a Transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the interests in the entity (or entities) comprising Maker, each without the prior written consent of State Farm or in violation of Section 3.11 of the Mortgage; and/or (ii) the occurrence of any of the bankruptcy-related Events of Default under Sections 4.1(i)(c), 4.1(j), 4.1(k) (solely with respect to authorizing the action set forth in Section 4.1(c) or 4.1(j) of the Mortgage; or

4
Loan No. 14707

(e)    The right of State Farm to recover from Maker and any guarantors (Maker and any guarantors are sometimes hereinafter individually called a "Liable Party" and collectively called the "Liable Parties"), who shall be jointly and severally liable for all Losses incurred by State Farm (whether directly or indirectly) arising from or related to the following:
(i)    The failure to apply any Rents received by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties at any time after an Event of Default (all such Rents received during such period being herein called "Recoverable Rents") to (A) the payment of any amount due under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Indebtedness; (B) the payment of all operating expenses of the Secured Property; or (C) the performance of any Obligations required under the Loan Documents; provided, however, the Liable Parties shall not be liable to State Farm under this subsection (i) for any Recoverable Rents in excess of the Recoverable Rents required to be applied to the payment of the amounts and the performance of the obligations set forth in (A), (B) and (C) above;
(ii)    The misapplication or misappropriation of any tenant security deposits, advance or prepaid Rents, cancellation or termination fees or other similar sums paid to or held by Maker, any affiliate of Maker or any other Person (other than State Farm) in connection with the operation of the Secured Property in violation of the Loan Documents or any Leases affecting the Secured Property;
(iii)    The willful or wanton act or omission on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties resulting in the damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Secured Property, including, without limitation, waste or any act of arson or malicious destruction by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties;
(iv)    The failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or any Leases affecting the Secured Property or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums, real estate taxes, regular or special assessments or utility charges affecting the Secured Property;
(v)    The failure of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to deliver to State Farm any Proceeds received by any of them relating to the Secured Property, or to use such Proceeds for Restoration of the Secured Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; 
(vi)    Any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties in any document executed or presented to State Farm in connection with the Loan;
(vii)    The failure on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations under this subsection (vii) shall not apply to any costs incurred by or imposed upon State Farm which arise solely as a consequence of a condition coming into existence on the Secured Property subsequent to the time of both State Farm taking title to the Secured Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and State Farm taking physical possession of the Secured Property, unless such costs are incurred in connection with an event or events related to a condition existing at the Secured Property prior to or at the time of transfer of title and physical possession of the Secured Property to State Farm; provided, however, Maker shall bear 

5
Loan No. 14707

the burden of proof that such event or events: (A) occurred subsequent to the transfer of title and physical possession to State Farm; and (B) did not occur as a result of any action of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties.
As used herein, "Losses" means any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, costs, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs of defense and internal administrative fees assessed by State Farm), judgments, awards or amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature.  
VI.    Non-Usurious Loan.
A.    It is the intention of Maker and State Farm that this Note and all other Loan Documents shall comply with any Applicable Law.  To that end, the parties stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions of this Note or the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract that violates any Applicable Law or exceeds the limits imposed or provided by law for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in seeking its collection.
B.    In the event that interest paid or received under this Note or the other Loan Documents shall result, because of any reduction of Principal or any other reason, in an effective rate of interest which for any period is in excess of applicable usury limits, such excess interest for the period in question shall, at State Farm’s option, be refunded to Maker or be applied upon the outstanding Principal without a Prepayment Fee.
C.
