Mortgagee shall be obligated to account only for Rents actually collected or received by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Mortgagor resulting from Mortgagee’s failure to lease the Property after an Event of Default.

Section 5.04.    Reliance.  Mortgagor recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents, (i) Mortgagee is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 9 of the Loan Agreement and in this Security Instrument, in each case, as conditioned, qualified, supplemented and/or limited as set forth herein, without any obligation to investigate the

Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has examined and relied on the experience of Mortgagor and its members, owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make or continue the Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgagor’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt, performance of the Secured Obligations, and the performance of the Obligations.  Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the Debt, performance of the Secured Obligations, or the performance of the Obligations, Mortgagee can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

-14-

Section 9.03.    Right to Cure Defaults.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand (except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Loan Agreement) on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt.  The cost and expense of any cure hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with interest as provided below, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee upon demand.  All such costs and expenses actually incurred by Mortgagee in remedying such Event of Default shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined herein) for the period after notice from Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Mortgagee and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee therefor.

Section 9.06.    Other Rights, Etc.
(a)    The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument.  Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or Borrowers to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents.
(b)    It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, 

-15-

for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured.  Possession by Mortgagee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to the Property or any other Collateral not in Mortgagee’s possession.
(c)    Subject to Applicable Law, Mortgagee may resort (during the existence of an Event of Default) for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its discretion, may elect.  Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee hereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument.  The rights of Mortgagee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.  No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.  Mortgagee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
Section 9.07.    Right to Release Any Portion of the Property.  Mortgagee may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Mortgagee may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Mortgagee for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Mortgagee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder.  This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
Section 9.08.    Violation of Laws.  If the Property is not in compliance, in any material respect, with legal requirements with respect to the Property, Mortgagee may impose additional commercially reasonable requirements upon Mortgagor in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents related to such legal requirement.

Section 9.10.    Subrogation.  If any or all of the proceeds of the Loan Agreement have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Debt, and the performance and discharge of the Obligations.
Section 9.11.    Bankruptcy.

-16-

(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)    If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Mortgagor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Mortgagor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease.  Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Mortgagor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Mortgagee demands that Mortgagor assume and assign the Lease to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Mortgagee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease.  If Mortgagee serves upon Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Mortgagor shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Mortgagee of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

Mortgagor, for itself and all who may, at any time, claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such Applicable Law, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof, and agrees that Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Property in part or as an entirety.  Mortgagor acknowledges that the transaction of which this Security Instrument is a part is a transaction that does not include either agricultural real estate (as defined in Section 15-1201 of the Act) or residential real estate (as defined in Section 15-1219 of the Act).  On behalf of Mortgagor, and each and every person acquiring any interest in, or title to, the Property subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument, and on behalf of all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by any Applicable Law, Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights: (x) of redemption from any foreclosure, or other disposition of any kind or nature, of the Property, or any part thereof, or interest therein, under or pursuant to rights herein granted to Mortgagee; and (y) to reinstatement of the Debt hereby secured, including, without limitation, any right to reverse any acceleration of such Debt pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/15-1602.  All waivers by Mortgagor in this Security Instrument have been made voluntarily, 

-23-

intelligently and knowingly by Mortgagor, after Mortgagor has been afforded an opportunity to be informed by counsel of Mortgagor’s choice as to possible alternative rights.  Mortgagor’s execution of this Security Instrument shall be conclusive evidence of the making of such waivers and that such waivers have been voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly made.
Section 17.04.    Receiver.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the occupancy or value of any security for the Debt, or the insolvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of, and to operate, the Property, and to collect and apply the Rents and other benefits thereof.  The receiver shall have all rights and powers to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.  Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, upon demand, all of Mortgagee’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, receiver’s fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to this Section, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, and all such amounts shall be additional Debt secured hereby.
Section 17.05.    Illinois Collateral Protection Act.  Unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with evidence of the insurance coverage required by the Loan Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, if any, Mortgagee may purchase such insurance at Mortgagor’s expense to protect Mortgagee’s interests in the Property.  This insurance may, but need not, protect Mortgagor’s interest.  The coverage that Mortgagee purchases may not pay any claim that Mortgagor may make or any claim that is made against Mortgagor in connection with the Property.  Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by this Security Instrument.  If Mortgagee purchases insurance for the Property, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest and any other charges that may be imposed in connection with the placement of such insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance.  Without limitation of any other provision of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, the cost of such insurance shall be added to the Debt secured hereby.  The cost of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain on its own.
Section 17.06.    Purchase by Mortgagee.  Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of any Obligation secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price.
Section 17.07.    Compliance with Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law.  In the event that any provision in this Security Instrument shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Act, the provisions of the Act shall take precedence over the provisions of this Security Instrument, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Security Instrument that can be construed in a manner consistent with the Act.  Furthermore, if any provision of this Security Instrument grants to Mortgagee any rights or remedies, upon default of Mortgagor, that are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in Mortgagee under the Act, in the absence of said provision, Mortgagee shall be vested with the rights granted in the Act, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by Mortgagee, to the extent reimbursable under Sections 15-1510 and 15-1512 of the Act, whether 

-24-

incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether enumerated in this Security Instrument, shall be added to the Debt and Secured Obligations secured by this Security Instrument or by the judgment of foreclosure.  
Section 17.08.    Future Advances.  At all times, regardless of whether any loan proceeds have been disbursed, this Security Instrument secures as part of the Debt and Secured Obligations the payment of all loan commissions, service charges, liquidated damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and advances due to or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the Obligations, all in accordance with the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall the total amount of the Debt, including loan proceeds disbursed plus any additional charges, exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the Revolver Commitment.  
Section 17.09.    Protective Advances.  Without limitation on anything contained in this Security Instrument, all advances, disbursements and expenditures made by the Mortgagee before and during a foreclosure, and before and after a judgment of foreclosure, and at any time prior to sale, and, where applicable, after sale and during the pendency of any related proceedings, for the following purposes, in addition to those otherwise authorized by this Security Instrument or by the Act, shall have the benefit of all applicable provisions of the Act, including those provisions of the Act referred to below (collectively, “Protective Advances”):

(b)    payments by the Mortgagee of: (A) when due installments of principal, interest or other obligations in accordance with the terms of any senior mortgage or other prior lien or encumbrance on the Property; (B) when due installments of real estate taxes and assessments, general and special and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever which are assessed or imposed upon the Property or any part thereof; (C) other Obligations authorized by this Security Instrument; or (D) with court approval, any other amounts in connection with other liens, encumbrances or interests reasonably necessary to preserve the status of title, as referred to in Section 15-1505 of the Act;
(c)    advances by the Mortgagee in settlement or compromise of any claims asserted by claimants under senior mortgages or any prior liens;
(d)    attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred: (A) in connection with the foreclosure of this Security Instrument as referred to in Section 15-1504(d)(2) and 15-1510 of the Act; (B) in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by or against the Mortgagee for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or arising from the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder; or (C) in the preparation for the commencement or defense of any such foreclosure or other action;

-25-

(e)    Mortgagee’s fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising between the entry of judgment of foreclosure and confirmation hearing as referred to in Subsection (b)(1) of Section 15-1508 of the Act;
(f)    expenses deductible from proceeds of sale as referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 15-1512 of the Act; and
(g)    expenses incurred and expenditures made by the Mortgagee for any one or more of the following: (A) if all or any portion thereof constitutes one or more units under a condominium declaration, assessments imposed upon the unit owner thereof; (B) if any interest in the Property is a leasehold estate under a lease or sublease, rentals or other payments required to be made by the lessee under the terms of the lease or sublease; (C) premiums for casualty and liability insurance paid by the Mortgagee whether or not the Mortgagee or a receiver is in possession, if reasonably required, in reasonable amounts, and all renewals thereof, without regard to the limitation to maintaining existing insurance in effect at the time any receiver or mortgagee takes possession of the Property as imposed by subsection (c)(1) of Section 15-1704 of the Act; (D) repair or restoration of damage or destruction in excess of available insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (E) payments required or deemed by the Mortgagee to be for the benefit of the Property or required to be made by the owner of the Property under any grant or declaration of easement, easement agreement, agreement with any adjoining land owners or instruments creating covenants or restrictions for the benefit of or affecting the Property; (F) shared or common expense assessments payable to any association or corporation in which the owner of the Property is a member if in any way affecting the Property; (G) costs incurred by the Mortgagee for demolition, preparation for and completion of construction; and (H) pursuant to any lease or other agreement, for occupancy of the Property.
All Protective Advances shall be so much additional Debt secured by this Security Instrument, and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon from the date of the advance until paid at the applicable rate set forth in the Loan Agreement.  This Security Instrument shall be a lien for all Protective Advances as to subsequent purchasers and judgment creditors from the time this Security Instrument is recorded pursuant to subsection (b)(1) of Section 15-1302 of the Act.  All Protective Advances shall, except to the extent, if any, that any of the same are clearly contrary to or inconsistent with the provisions of the Act, apply to and be included in: (A) determination of the amount of Debt secured by this Security Instrument at any time; (B) the amount of the Debt found due and owing to the Mortgagee in a judgment of foreclosure and any subsequent, supplemental judgments, orders, adjudications or findings by any court of any additional Debt becoming due after such entry of judgment (it being agreed that in any foreclosure judgment, the court may reserve jurisdiction for such purpose); (C) if right of redemption is deemed not to be waived by this Security Instrument, computation of any amounts required to redeem, pursuant to Subsections (d)(2) and (e) of Section 5-1603 of the Act; (D) determination of amounts deductible from sale proceeds pursuant to Section 15-1512 of the Act; (E) application of income in the hands of any receiver or the Mortgagee in possession; and (F) computation of any deficiency judgment pursuant to subsections (b)(2) and (e) of sections 15-1508 and Section 15-1511 of the Act.

-26-

Section 17.10.    Open-End Mortgage Maximum Principal Amount.  This Security Instrument is an open-end mortgage, and shall secure the payment of any amounts advanced from time to time under the Loan Documents, or under other documents stating that such advances are secured hereby.  The maximum amount of unpaid principal of the Debt and Obligations arising under or in connection with this Security Instrument, exclusive of interest thereon, which may be outstanding at any time and secured hereby shall be Forty Million and No/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00).  This Security Instrument also secures any and all Debt and Obligations arising under or in connection with this Security Instrument, which future Debt and Obligations shall have the same priority as if all such Debt and Obligations were made on the date of execution hereof.  Nothing in this Section or in any other provision of this Security Instrument shall be deemed an obligation on the part of Mortgagee to make any future advances of any sort.  At all times, regardless of whether any Loan proceeds have been disbursed, this Security Instrument shall secure (in addition to any Loan proceeds disbursed from time to time) the payment of any and all expenses and advances due to or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the Debt and Secured Obligations to be secured hereby and which are to be reimbursed by Mortgagor under the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the total amount of Loan proceeds disbursed plus such additional amounts plus all the portions of the Debt and the other Obligations arising under or in connection with this Security Instrument exceed Forty Million and No/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00).
Section 17.11.    Mortgagee’s Right to Possession.  Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to the requirements of 735 ILCS 5/1701(b)(2), Mortgagee shall be entitled to be placed in possession of the Property and to exercise the rights and powers of a mortgagee in possession under the Act.
Section 17.12.    Priority of Leases.  Subject to the provisions of agreements between Mortgagee and the tenants at the Property, at the option of Mortgagee, this Security Instrument shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any award arising out of any condemnation), to any and all leases of all or any part of the Property upon the execution by Mortgagee and recording thereof, at any time hereafter in the appropriate official records of the County wherein the Property is situated, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.
Section 17.13.    Stated Maturity Date.  The last of the Debt matures and is due and payable, in full, on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof.  
Section 17.14.    Release of Mortgage.  At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due) shall have been paid in full in cash or upon defeasance of the Secured Obligations, this Mortgage shall terminate and the Mortgagee shall take such actions as shall be required to release this Mortgage as the Mortgagor shall reasonably request.

2.    Indemnity Agreement.

Each of the Borrowers covenant and agree, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels and with attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender) and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against and from any and all liens, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements incurred in investigating, defending against, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party or the Property and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (a) the Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas (i) caused by or attributable to any Borrower or (ii) originating or emanating from the Property regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of any Borrower; (b) the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of any Borrower; (c) the failure of any Borrower to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (d) the violation of any Environmental Laws in connection with other real property of any Borrower which gives or may give rise to any liens or other rights of any party with respect to the Property by virtue of any Environmental Laws; or (e) the enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable costs of assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Materials from all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, (ii) the reasonable costs of any necessary actions taken in response to a Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such Release or Threat of Release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and (iii) costs incurred to comply with the Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas affected by the Property.  Lender’s and the other Indemnified Parties’ rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender and such Indemnified Parties under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and payments by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not reduce such Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under any of the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to 

                            3

indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any losses or liabilities arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.

3.    Survival.

(a)    The indemnity set forth above in Paragraph 2 shall survive the repayment of the Loan and any exercise by Lender of any remedies under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the power of sale, or any other remedy in the nature of foreclosure, and shall not merge with any deed given by any Borrower to Lender in lieu of foreclosure or any deed under a power of sale.

(b)     It is agreed and intended by the Borrowers and Lender that the indemnity set forth above in Paragraph 2 may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Lender to its successors and assigns (subject to any limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement) and to any subsequent purchaser of all or any portion of the Property, by, through or under the Loan Documents, without notice to the Borrowers and without any further consent of the Borrowers.  To the extent consent of any such assignment or transfer is required by law, advance consent to any such assignment or transfer is hereby given by each of the Borrowers in order to maximize the extent and effect of the indemnity given hereby.

4.    Representations and Warranties.

To the best of each of the Borrower’s knowledge and belief, after due inquiry, they each represent and warrant to Lender as follows, except as, either individually or in aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(d)    There has been no treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials at the Property in violation of Environmental Laws (however, the Property does generate waste which has been disposed of and generated in compliance with all Environmental Laws);

(g)    There are no claims, citations, orders, demands, or proceedings of any kind (whether actual, or threatened or potential) related to or arising from the Property or operations conducted thereon (whether based on negligent acts or omissions, statutory liability or strict liability) related to any Environmental Law or other environmental matters;

(h)    There are no Liens imposed on the Property, actual or threatened, arising under any Environmental Law, and no action to impose such Liens is pending or threatened; and

(i)    No notices, disclosures, cleanups or approvals are required as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or would be required as a result of transfer of the Property (except, if and to the extent applicable, any that would be required under the local property transfer laws of the states where the respective Property is located).  All such notices, disclosures, cleanups and approvals required by law have been given, made, completed or obtained, as the case may be. 
    
5.    Covenants.

Each of the Borrowers covenant and agree as follows except where the failure to do so, or as to those matters which, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
