         tests, at Grantor's expense, as Lender may deem appropriate to

         of the Mortgage or as a consequence of any use, generation,
         manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring
         prior to Grantor's ownership or interest in the Property, whether or
         not the same was or should have been known to Grantor. The provisions
         of this section of the Mortgage, including the obligation to indemnify,

         With Disabilities Act. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law,
         ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding,
         including appropriate appeals, so long as Grantor has notified Lender
         in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lenders sole opinion,
         Lender's interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender may
         require Grantor to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
         satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

         DUTY TO PROTECT. Grantor agrees neither to abandon or leave unattended
         the Property. Grantor shall do all other acts, in addition to those
         acts set forth above in this section, which from the character and use

         within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed,
         within fifteen (15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure
         the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender, deposit with
         Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security
         satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien
         plus any costs and attorneys' fees, or other charges that could accrue
         as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. in any contest,

         Property.

         (15) days before any work is commenced, any services are furnished, or
         any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic's lien,
         materialmen's lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the
         work, services, or materials. Grantor will upon request of Lender
         furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that
         Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements.

PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the
Property are a part of this Mortgage:

         MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies
         of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a
         replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all
         Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid
         application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee
         clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall also procure and maintain
         comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as
         Lender may request with Lender being named as additional insureds in
         such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain
         such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business
         interruption and boiler insurance as Lender may require. Policies shall
         be written by such insurance companies and in such form as may be
         reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall deliver to Lender
         certificates of coverage from each insurer containing a stipulation
         that coverage will not be cancelled or diminished without a minimum of
         ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not containing any
         disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such notice.
         Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that
         coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act,
         omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real
         Property be located in an area designated by the Director of the
         Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area,
         Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if
         available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender that the
         Property is located in a special flood hazard area, for the full unpaid
         principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property
         securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the
         National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender,
         and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan.

         APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any
         loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if
         Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.

         election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply
         the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of, any-lien
         affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property.
         If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair,
         Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements
         in a manner, satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory
         proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds
         for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in
         default under this

================================================================================

         Mortgage. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days
         after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or
         restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing
         to Lender under this Mortgage, then to pay accrued interest, and the
         remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the
         Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the
         Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor's
         interests may appear.

         GRANTOR'S REPORT ON INSURANCE. Upon request of Lender, however not more
         than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each
         existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of the insurer; (2)
         the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property
         Insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the
         manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the
         policy. Grantor shall, upon request of Lender, have an independent
         appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement
         cost of the Property.

TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVES. Subject to any limitations set by applicable law,
Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of
annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by advance payment or monthly payments of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, amounts at least equal to the taxes, assessments, and
insurance premiums to be paid. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a
general deposit from Grantor, which Lender may satisfy by payment of the taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender shall have the right to draw upon the reserve funds to pay
such items, and Lender shall not be required to determine the validity or
accuracy of any item before paying it. Nothing in the Mortgage shall be
construed as requiring Lender to advance other monies for such purposes, and
Lender shall not incur any liability for anything it may do or omit to do with
respect to the reserve account. Subject to any limitations set by applicable
law, if the reserve funds disclose a shortage or deficiency, Grantor shall pay
such shortage or deficiency as required by Lender. All amounts in the reserve
account are hereby pledged to further secure the Indebtedness, and Lender is
hereby authorized to withdraw and apply such amounts on the indebtedness upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default. Lender shall not be required to pay any
interest or earnings on the reserve funds unless required by law or agreed to by
Lender in writing. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not Grantor's agent for payment of the taxes and assessments
required to be paid by Grantor.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Mortgage or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Mortgage or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Property and paying all costs
for Insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate
charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the indebtedness
and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the
balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment
payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance
policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon
payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Mortgage also
will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all
other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.

the Property are a part of this Mortgage:

         title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection

         of Lender under this Mortgage, Grantor shall defend the action at
         Grantor's expense. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding,
         but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be
         represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender's own choice, and
         Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such

         promptly notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such
         steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award.
         Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall
         be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in
         the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver
         or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments and documentation
         as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such
         participation.

         APPLICATION OF NET PROCEEDS. If all or any part of the Property is
         condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by any proceeding or
         purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require
         that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to
         the indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net
         proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all

remedies provided by law:

         ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender shall have the right at its option
         without notice to Grantor to declare the entire indebtedness
         immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty which
         Grantor would be required to pay.

         UCC REMEDIES. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property,
         Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under
         the Uniform Commercial Code.

         or Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the Rents,
         including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over
         and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. in furtherance of
         this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property
         to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents
         are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as
         Grantor's. attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment
         thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect
         the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response
         to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments
         are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.

         person, by agent, or through a receiver.

         the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property
         preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the
         Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
         receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
         bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
         receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property
         exceeds the indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
         shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

         JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE.  Lender may obtain a judicial decree foreclosing
         Grantor's interest in all or any part of the Property.

         DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT. If permitted by applicable law, Lender may obtain
         a judgment for any deficiency remaining in the indebtedness due to
         Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of
         the rights provided in this section.

         TENANCY AT SUFFERANCE. If Grantor remains in possession of the Property
         after the Property is sold as provided above or Lender otherwise
         becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Grantor,
         Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the

         expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor
         under this Mortgage, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not
         affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.
         Nothing under this Mortgage or otherwise shall be construed so as to
         limit or restrict the rights and remedies available to Lender following

         consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or
         withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

         SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
         of this Mortgage to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any
         circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision
         illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If
         feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that
         it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision
         cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this
         Mortgage. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
         or unenforceability of any provision of this Mortgage shall not affect
         the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
         Mortgage.

         this Mortgage with any other interest or estate in the Property at any

         and assigns. If ownership of the Property becomes vested in a person
         other than Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal with
         Grantor's successors with reference to this Mortgage and the
         indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing
         Grantor from the obligations of this Mortgage or liability under the
         Indebtedness.

         to the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, except for those liens
         specifically agreed to in writing by Lender, and except for the lien of
         taxes and assessments not due as further specified in the Right to
         Contest paragraph.

         Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment,
         or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to
         pay, so long as Lender's interest in the Property is not jeopardized.
         If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor shall
         within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed,
         within fifteen (15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure
         the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender, deposit with
         Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security
         satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien
         plus any costs and attorneys' fees, or other charges that could accrue
         as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any contest,
         Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any adverse
         judgment before enforcement against the Property. Grantor shall name

         Property.

PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the
Property are a part of this Mortgage:

         Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies
         of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a
         replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all
         Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid
         application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee
         clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall also procure and maintain
         comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as
         Lender may request with Lender being named as additional insureds in
         such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain
         such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business
         interruption and boiler insurance as Lender may require. Policies shall
         be written by such insurance companies and in such form as may be
         reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall deliver to Lender
         certificates of coverage from each insurer containing a stipulation
         that coverage will not be cancelled or diminished without a minimum of
         ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not containing any
         disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such notice.
         Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that
         coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act,
         omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real
         Property be located in an area designated by the Director of the
         Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area,
         Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if
         available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender that the
         Property is located in a special flood hazard area, for the full unpaid
         principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property
         securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the
         National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender,
         and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan.

         Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any
         loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if
         Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.
         Whether or not Lender's security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender's
         election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply
         the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien
         affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property.
         If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair,
         Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements
         in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory
         proof of such

================================================================================

         expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the
         reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default
         under this Mortgage. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within
         180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the
         repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any
         amount owing to Lender under this Mortgage, then to pay accrued
         interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal
         balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment
         in full of the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as
         Grantor's interests may appear.

         Grantor's Report on Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more
         than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each
         existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of the insurer; (2)
         the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property
         insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the
         manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the
         policy. Grantor shall, upon request of Lender, have an independent
         appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement
         cost of the Property.

TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVES. Subject to any limitations set by applicable law,
Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of
annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums, which reserves shall be
created by advance payment or monthly payments of a sum estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to produce, amounts at least equal to the taxes, assessments, and
insurance premiums to be paid. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a
general deposit from Grantor, which Lender may satisfy by payment of the taxes,.
assessments, and insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they
become due. Lender shall have the right to draw upon the reserve funds to pay
such items, and Lender shall not be required to determine the validity or
accuracy of any item before paying it. Nothing in the Mortgage shall be
construed as requiring Lender to advance other monies for such purposes, and
Lender shall not incur any liability for anything it may do or omit to do with
respect to the reserve account. Subject to any limitations set by applicable
law, if the reserve funds disclose a shortage or deficiency, Grantor shall pay
such shortage or deficiency as required by Lender. All amounts in the reserve
account are hereby pledged to further secure the Indebtedness, and Lender is
hereby authorized to withdraw and apply such amounts on the Indebtedness upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default. Lender shall not be required to pay any
interest or earnings on the reserve funds unless required by law or agreed to by
Lender in writing. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor,
and Lender is not Grantor's agent for payment of the taxes and assessments
required to be paid by Grantor.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Mortgage or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Mortgage or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Property and paying all costs
for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate
charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness
and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the
balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment
payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance
policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon
payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Mortgage also
will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all
other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.

WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE. The following provisions relating to ownership of
the Property are a part of this Mortgage:

         Title. Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good and marketable
         title of record to the Property in fee simple, free and clear of all

         description or in any title insurance policy, title report, or final
         title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection
         with this Mortgage, and (b) Grantor has the full right, power, and
         authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage to Lender.

         Defense of Title. Subject to the exception in the paragraph above,
         Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property
         against the lawful claims of all persons. In the event any action or
         proceeding is commenced that questions Grantor's title or the interest
         of Lender under this Mortgage, Grantor shall defend the action at
         Grantor's expense. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding,
         but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be
         represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender's own choice, and
         Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such
         instruments as Lender may request from time to time to permit such
         participation.

         Compliance With Laws. Grantor warrants that the Property and Grantor's
         use of the Property complies with all existing applicable laws,
         ordinances, and regulations of governmental authorities.

         warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Mortgage shall
         survive the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, shall be
         continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until
         such time as Borrower's Indebtedness shall be paid in full.

a part of this Mortgage:

         shall promptly notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly
         take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the
         award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender
         shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be
         represented in the proceeding by counsel of Its own choice, and Grantor
         will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments and
         documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit
         such participation.

         Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is
         condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by any proceeding or
         purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require
         that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to
         the Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net
         proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all
         reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in
         connection with the condemnation.

         subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, this event shall have the same
         effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any or all of
         its available remedies for an Event of Default as provided below unless
         Grantor either (1) pays the tax before it becomes delinquent, or (2)
         contests the tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and
         deposits with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or
         other security satisfactory to Lender.

         real property records, Lender may, at any time and without further
         authorization from Grantor, file executed counterparts, copies or
         reproductions of this Mortgage as a financing statement. Grantor shall
         reimburse Lender for all expenses incurred in perfecting or continuing
         this security interest. Upon default, Grantor shall not remove, sever
         or detach the Personal Property from the Property. Upon default,

         default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement,

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
at any time thereafter, Lender, at Lender's option, may exercise any one or more
of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or
remedies provided by law:

         Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option
         without notice to Grantor to declare the entire Indebtedness
         immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty which
         Grantor would be required to pay.

         UCC Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property,
         Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under
         the Uniform Commercial Code.

         Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower
         or Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the Rents,
         including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over
         and above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of
         this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property
         to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents
         are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as
         Grantor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment
         thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect
         the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response
         to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments
         are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.
         Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in
         person, by agent, or through a receiver.

         Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver
         appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with
         the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property
         preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the
         Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
         receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without
         bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment of a
         receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property
         exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender
         shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

         Judicial Foreclosure. Lender may obtain a judicial decree foreclosing
         Grantor's interest in all or any part of the Property.

         Deficiency Judgment. If permitted by applicable law, Lender may obtain
         a judgment for any deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness due to
         Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of
         the rights provided in this section.

         after the Property is sold as provided above or Lender otherwise

         Property immediately upon the demand of Lender.

         Other Remedies. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies
         provided in this Mortgage or the Note or available at law or in equity.

         Sale of the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
         Borrower and Grantor hereby waives any and all right to have the
         Property marshalled. In exercising its rights and remedies, Lender
         shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or

         it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision

         Mortgage. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity,
         or unenforceability of any provision of this Mortgage shall not affect
