certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof, executed by and among Borrower,
certain affiliates of Borrower (Borrower and such affiliates being referred to
collectively as "Borrower Parties") and Lender (the "Loan Agreement"), to make a
loan (the "Loan") to Borrower Parties. The Loan is evidenced by (i) that certain
Promissory Note A executed by Borrower Parties of even date herewith in the
original principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($25,600,000.00) (which note, together with all notes issued in
substitution or exchange therefor and all amendments thereto, is hereinafter
referred to as "Note A") and (ii) that certain Subordinated Promissory Note B
executed by Borrower Parties of even date herewith in the original principal
amount of Six Million Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,400,000.00)
(which note, together with all notes issued in substitution or exchange therefor
and all amendments thereto, is hereinafter
2
referred to as "Note B"; Note A and Note B being collectively referred to as the
"Notes"), providing for monthly payments as set forth in the Notes, with the
balance thereof, due and payable on December 31, 2001 (said date, or any earlier
date on which the entire unpaid principal amount shall be paid or required to be
paid in full, whether by prepayment, acceleration or otherwise is hereinafter
called the "Maturity Date"). The terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and
Notes are hereby incorporated by reference in this Mortgage.
B. Lender wishes to secure: (i) the payment of the Notes, together
with all interest, the "Exit Fee" (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and other
amounts, if any, due in accordance with the terms of the Notes, as well as the
payment of any additional indebtedness accruing to Lender on account of any
future payments, advances or expenditures made by Lender pursuant to the Notes,
the Loan Agreement or this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents
(hereinafter defined); (ii) the performance of each and every covenant,
condition, and agreement contained in the Notes, the Loan Agreement, this
Mortgage, the Environmental Indemnity (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and any
other documents evidencing or securing the Loan or executed in connection
therewith (such documents together with any modifications, renewals, extensions
or replacements thereof are collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents");
and (iii) the payment and performance of any and all other debts, claims,
obligations, demands, monies, liabilities and indebtedness of any kind or nature
now or hereafter owing, arising, due or payable to Lender from any or all of
Borrower, Borrower Parties, Guarantor and the Affiliates of Guarantor and each
of the Borrower Parties, including without limitation all indebtedness due and
obligations arising under the Other Finance Documents ("Guarantor," "Affiliates"
and "Other Finance Documents" having the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan
Agreement). All payment obligations of Borrower Parties, Guarantor and the
Affiliates of Guarantor and each of the Borrower Parties, including without
limitation all indebtedness due under the Loan Documents and the Other Finance
Documents, to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Indebtedness," and all other
obligations of Borrower Parties, Guarantor and the Affiliates of Guarantor and
each of the Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents and the Other Finance
Documents are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the
"Obligations".

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all parts thereof together with
the rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof, unto Lender to its own proper
use, benefit, and advantage forever, subject, however, to the terms, covenants,
and conditions herein.
Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
1. Payment of Indebtedness; Performance of Obligations. Borrower
shall promptly pay or cause to be paid when
-4-
5
due the Indebtedness and shall promptly perform or cause to be performed all
Obligations.
2. Taxes and Other Obligations. Borrower shall pay, when due, and
before any interest, collection fees or penalties shall accrue, all taxes,
assessments, fines, impositions and other charges and obligations, which may
become a lien on or charge against the Property (collectively, "Charges").
Borrower shall have the right to contest, in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, the amount or validity of any such Charges, so long as: (a)
Borrower has given prior written notice to Lender of Borrower's intent to so
contest or object to any such Charges; (b) such contest stays the enforcement or
collection of the Charges or any lien created; and (c) if the amount of the
Charges exceeds $25,000.00, Borrower has obtained an endorsement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, to the loan policy of title insurance issued
to Lender insuring over any such lien, or Borrower has deposited with Lender a
bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the amount of 150%
of the amount of such Charges.
Should Borrower fail to make any of such payments, Lender may, at
its option and at the expense of Borrower, pay the amounts due for the account
of Borrower. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall immediately furnish to
Lender copies of all notices of amounts due and receipts evidencing payment.
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any lien on all or any part of the
Property and shall promptly discharge any unpermitted lien or encumbrance.
3. Reserves for Taxes. At the time of and in addition to the monthly
installments of principal and interest due under the Notes, Borrower shall pay
to Lender a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount estimated by Lender to
be sufficient to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due and
payable all taxes, assessments and other similar charges levied against the
Property (collectively, the "Taxes"). So long as no Event of Default exists
hereunder, Lender shall apply the sums to pay the Taxes. These sums may be
commingled with the general funds of Lender, and no interest shall be payable
thereon nor shall these sums be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of
Borrower. If Lender at any time reasonably determines that such amount on
deposit is insufficient to fully pay such Taxes, Borrower shall, within ten (10)
days following notice from Lender, deposit such additional sum as may be
reasonably required by Lender. On the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining
on deposit with Lender or its agent shall, at Lender's option, be applied
against the Indebtedness or so long as no Event of Default is then continuing,
be refunded to Borrower. The obligation of
-5-
6
Borrower to pay the Taxes is not affected or modified by the provisions of this
Section 3.
4. Insurance and Condemnation.
(a) Insurance.
(i) Borrower shall keep the Improvements insured, and shall maintain
general liability coverage and such other coverages reasonably requested
by Lender, by carrier(s), in amounts and in form at all times reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, which carrier(s), amounts and form shall not be
changed without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld.
(ii) In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Borrower
shall give immediate written notice thereof to the insurance carrier(s)
and to Lender. Lender is authorized and empowered, and Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact (such appointment is
coupled with an interest), at its option, to make or file proofs of loss
or damage and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies
which insure against such risks, or to direct Borrower, in writing, to
agree with the insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to
such loss.
(iii) Provided no Event of Default then exists and Borrower
certifies as to same, the net insurance proceeds (after deduction of
Lender's reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same)
shall be made available for the restoration or repair of the Property if,
in Lender's reasonable judgment: (a) restoration or repair and the
continued operation of the Property is economically feasible; (b) the
value of Lender's security is not reduced; (c) the casualty loss is not
more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Loan Allocation amount
attributable to the Property set forth on Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement;
(d) the loss does not occur in the six (6) month period preceding the
stated Maturity Date and Lender's independent consultant certifies that
the restoration of the Property can be completed at least ninety (90) days
prior to the Maturity Date; and (e) Borrower deposits with Lender from
time-to-time an amount, in cash, which Lender, in its sole but reasonable
discretion, determines is necessary, in addition to the net insurance
proceeds to pay in full the cost of the
-6-
7
restoration or repair (Borrowers' deposit shall be disbursed prior to any
disbursement of insurance proceeds held by Lender). Any excess proceeds
remaining after completion of such repair shall be distributed first to
Borrower to the extent Borrower has deposited funds with Lender for such
repair with the balance applied against the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to any disbursement of
insurance proceeds held by Lender hereunder that Lender shall have
approved in its reasonable discretion (x) all plans and specifications for
any proposed repair or restoration, (y) the construction schedule and (z)
the architect's and general contractor's contract for all restoration that
exceeds $250,000.00 in the aggregate. Lender may establish other
conditions it deems reasonably necessary to assure the work is fully
completed in a good and workmanlike manner free of all liens or claims by
reason thereof, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. At Lender's option, the net insurance proceeds shall be
disbursed pursuant to a construction escrow acceptable to Lender. If an
Event of Default then exists, or any of the conditions set forth in
clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 4(a)(iii) have not been met or
satisfied, the net insurance proceeds shall be applied to the Indebtedness
in such order and manner as provided in the Note.
(iv) In the event Borrower fails to provide Lender with evidence of
the insurance coverage required by this Mortgage, Lender may purchase
insurance at Borrower's expense (subject to Section 3 above) to protect
Lender's interests in the Property. This insurance may, but need not,
protect Borrower's interests. The coverage purchased by Lender may not pay
any claim made by Borrower or any claim that is made against Borrower in
connection with the Property. Borrower may later cancel any insurance
purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that
Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Mortgage. If Lender
purchases insurance for the Property, Borrower will (subject to Section 3
above) be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest
and other charges imposed by Lender 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
-7-
8
added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the
cost of insurance Borrower is able to obtain on its own.
(b) Condemnation.
(i) Borrower shall within three (3) business days of its receipt of
notice thereof, notify Lender of any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property,
or part thereof, and Borrower shall, after consultation with and subject
to Lender's approval, appear in and prosecute any such action or
proceeding. Upon Borrower's failure to act in accordance with Lender's
prior approval, Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender's option, as
attorney-in-fact for Borrower (such appointment as attorney-in-fact is
coupled with an interest), to commence, appear in and prosecute, in
Lender's or Borrower's name, any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation or other taking of the Property, and to settle or compromise
any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking. The
proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages, direct or
consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of the
Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are
hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4(b)(ii) below. Lender is authorized (but is under
no obligation) to collect any such proceeds.
(ii) Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (y) apply the net
proceeds of any condemnation award (after deduction of Lender's reasonable
costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the
Indebtedness in such order and manner as provided in the Note, whether due
or not or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration
or repair of the Property. If the net proceeds of the condemnation award
are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the net proceeds
of the condemnation award shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(iii)
above. Lender is authorized (but is under no obligation) to collect any
such proceeds.
5. Preservation and Maintenance of Property. Borrower shall: (a) not
commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property; (b) not
abandon the Property;
-8-
9
(c) keep the Property in good repair and restore or repair promptly, in a good
and workmanlike manner, all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its
original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing,
upon any damage or loss thereto; (d) comply with all laws, ordinances,
regulations and requirements of any governmental body applicable to the
Property; (e) provide for management of the Property by a property manager
reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to a contract in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and (f) give notice in writing to Lender of
and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, appear in and defend any
action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the security granted by
the Loan Documents or the rights or powers of Lender. Neither Borrower nor any
tenant or other person shall remove, demolish or materially alter any
Improvement on the Land except when incident to the replacement of fixtures,
equipment, machinery and appliances with items of like kind.
6. Protection of Lender's Security. If (a) Borrower fails to pay the
Indebtedness or to perform the Obligations, (b) any action or proceeding is
commenced which materially adversely affects or could materially adversely
affect the Property or Lender's interest therein, including any loss, damage,
cost, expense or liability incurred by Lender with respect to (i) any
environmental matters relating to the Property or (ii) the preparation of the
commencement or defense of any action or proceeding or any threatened action or
proceeding affecting the Loan Documents or the Property, then Lender, at
Lender's option, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such
lawful action, taking into account the rights of residents at the Property, as
Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect the Property or
Lender's interest therein, including entry upon the Property to take such
actions Lender determines appropriate to preserve, protect or restore the
Property. Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section 6 (including
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses), together with interest thereon at the
"Default Rate" (defined in the Notes) from the date of disbursement, shall
become additional Indebtedness of Borrower secured by the lien of this Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable on demand. Nothing
contained in this Section 6 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take
any action hereunder.
7. Actions. Borrower shall warrant title and appear in and defend
any claim or any action or other proceeding purporting to affect title or other
interests relating to any part of the Property, the security of this Mortgage or
the rights of Lender, and give Lender prompt written notice of any such claim,
action or proceeding. Lender may, at the expense of Borrower,
-9-
10
appear in and defend any such claim, action or proceeding and any claim, action
or other proceeding asserted or brought against Lender in connection with or
relating to any part of the Property or this Mortgage.
8. Leases; Assignment of Rents.
Borrower shall not, without Lender's prior written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), execute, modify, amend, surrender
or terminate any non-residential Lease, except as expressly permitted by the
Loan Agreement. All Leases shall be on forms previously approved by Lender.
Borrower shall not be authorized to enter into any ground lease of the Property
without Lender's prior written approval. If Lender's consent to any
non-residential Lease or the renewal of any existing non-residential Lease is
required under the Loan Agreement, at Lender's request, Borrower shall cause the
tenant thereunder to execute a subordination and attornment agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall comply with and observe
Borrower's obligations as landlord under all Leases. Borrower shall furnish
Lender within twenty (20) days following Lender's request, with a rent roll, in
form reasonable acceptable to Lender, and executed copies of all Leases.
Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to
Lender, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Rents;
provided, however, so long as there shall not have occurred an Event of Default,
Borrower shall have a license, revocable immediately upon an Event of Default,
to collect all Rents, and shall hold the same, in trust, to be applied first to
the payment of all impositions, levies, taxes, assessments and other charges
upon the Property, second to maintenance of insurance policies upon the Property
required hereby, third to the expenses of Property operations, including
maintenance and repairs required hereby, fourth to the payment of that portion
of the Indebtedness then due and payable, and fifth, the balance, if any, to or
as directed by Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower's right to collect and secure the Rents shall cease and Lender shall
have the sole right, with or without taking possession of the Property to
collect all Rents. Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender an Assignment
of Leases and Rents of even date herewith, and, to the extent the provisions of
this Section 8 are inconsistent with the provisions of said Assignment of Leases
and Rents, the provisions of said Assignment of Leases and Rents shall control.
-10-
11
9. Statements by Borrower. Borrower shall within ten (10) days after
Lender's request, furnish Lender with a written statement, duly acknowledged,
setting forth the sums, according to Borrower's books and records, secured by
the Loan Documents and any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which
exists against such sums and the Obligations.
10. Transfers of the Property. Except for Leases entered into in
compliance with the other provisions of this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement,
Borrower shall not transfer all or any part of the Property, or any interest
therein, unless and until Borrower has fully complied with all of the provisions
of Section 2.2 of the Loan Agreement such that Borrower would be entitled to
cause Lender to release the lien of this Mortgage pursuant to that Section 2.2.
There shall be no transfer, sale, assignment, encumbrance, or disposition of any
of the capital stock of Borrower.
11. No Additional Liens, Encumbrances or Indebtedness. Borrower
covenants not to execute any mortgage, security agreement, assignment of leases
and rents or other agreement granting a lien (except the liens granted to Lender
by the Loan Documents and Senior Movable Personal Property Interests) against or
encumbrance on the Property or take or fail to take any other action which would
result in a lien against the Property or the interest of Borrower in the
Property without the prior written consent of Lender; provided, however,
Borrower may in good faith, by appropriate proceeding, contest the validity or
amount of any asserted lien and, pending such contest, Borrower shall not be
deemed to be in default hereunder if the amount secured by such lien is not more
than $25,000.00, or, if it is more than $25,000.00, then Borrower shall first
obtain an endorsement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to the loan
policy of title insurance issued to Lender insuring over such lien, or, if no
such loan policy shall have been issued, then Borrower shall deposit with Lender
a bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in the amount of 150% of the
amount of such lien to assure payment of the same as and when due.
12. Borrower and Lien Not Released. Without affecting the liability
of Borrower or any other person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, and
without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage as security for the
payment of the Indebtedness, Lender may, from time to time and without notice to
any junior lien holder or holder of any right or other interest in and to the
Property: (a) release any person so liable; (b) waive or modify any provision of
this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or grant other indulgences; (c)
release all or any part of the Property; (d) take additional security for any
obligation
-11-
12
herein mentioned; (e) subordinate the lien or charge of this Mortgage; (f)
consent to the granting of any easement; or (g) consent to any map or plan of
the Property.
13. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement.
(a) This Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement pursuant to
the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") for any portion of the Property which,
under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the UCC
(such portion of the Property is hereinafter called the "Personal Property")
and, subject to the Senior Movable Personal Property Interests, Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a security interest in the Personal Property. Lender shall have
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as well as all
other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(b) Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender any financing
statements, as well as extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and
reproductions of this Mortgage in such form as Lender may require to perfect a
security interest with respect to the Personal Property. Borrower hereby
authorizes and empowers Lender and irrevocably appoints Lender its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute and file, on Borrower's behalf, all financing
statements and refilings and continuations thereof as Lender deems necessary or
advisable to create, preserve and protect such lien. Borrower shall pay all
costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals,
amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses
of any record searches for financing statements as Lender may reasonably
require.
(c) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), sell, assign, transfer,
encumber, remove or permit to be removed from the Property any of the Personal
Property. So long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may sell or otherwise
dispose of the Personal Property when obsolete, worn out, inadequate,
unserviceable or unnecessary for use in the operation of the Property, but only
upon replacing the same with other Personal Property at least equal in value and
utility to the disposed Personal Property. Any replacement or substituted
Personal Property shall be, subject to the Senior Movable Personal Property
Interests, subject to the security interest granted herein.
(d) To the extent permitted by law, Borrower and Lender agree that
with respect to all items of Personal Property which are or will become fixtures
on the Land, this Mortgage, upon
-12-
13
recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office, shall
constitute a "fixture filing" within the meaning of the UCC.
14. Events of Default; Acceleration of Indebtedness. The occurrence
of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Mortgage:
(a) failure of Borrower to pay, within ten (10) days of the due
date, any of the Indebtedness, including any payment due under either or both of
the Notes; or
(b) failure of Borrower to strictly comply with Sections 4(a)(i)
(insurance), 8 (Leases), 10 (prohibition on transfers), and 11 (no additional
liens) of this Mortgage; or
(c) failure of Borrower, within thirty (30) days after written
notice and demand, to satisfy each and every Obligation not set forth in the
subsections above; provided, however, if such Obligation cannot by its nature be
cured within thirty (30) days, and if Borrower commences to cure such failure
promptly after written notice thereof and thereafter diligently pursues the
curing thereof (and then in all events cures such failure within ninety (90)
days after the original notice thereof), Borrower shall not be in default
hereunder during such period of diligent curing; or
(d) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Lender, the
Indebtedness shall become immediately due and payable without notice to Borrower
and Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies provided in the
Loan Documents or at law or in equity. Each remedy provided in the Loan
Documents is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under the
Loan Documents or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently,
independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
15. Entry; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual
possession of the Property, or to the extent permitted by law, Lender or a
receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, may enter and take
possession of all or any part of the Property, and may exclude Borrower and its
respective agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with
Borrower to the books, papers and accounts of Borrower. If Borrower shall for
any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after
such demand by
-13-
14
Lender, Lender or such receiver may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on
Lender or such receiver, the right to immediate possession of the Property or
requiring the delivery of the Property to Lender or such receiver, and Borrower
specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Upon every such
entering upon or taking of possession, Lender or such receiver may hold, store,
use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof,
and Lender or such receiver may take any action required by applicable law or
which Lender or such receiver believes necessary to enforce compliance with the
environmental provisions contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, and
negotiate with governmental authorities with respect to the Property's
environmental compliance and remedial measures in connection therewith. Lender
and such receiver and their representatives shall have no liability for any
loss, damage, injury, cost or expense resulting from any action or omission
which was taken or omitted in good faith.
When the Indebtedness or any part thereof shall become due, whether
by acceleration or otherwise, Lender may, either with or without entry or taking
possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by suit or suits at law or
in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy to: (a) enforce
payment of the Notes or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or

obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise) made by Lender
under the notes evidencing the Indebtedness (including the Notes), the Other
Financing Documents, or this Mortgage, to the same extent as if such future
advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The total

to time, but all Indebtedness secured hereby shall in no event exceed
$64,000,000.00.
20. Waiver of Statute of Limitations. Borrower hereby waives the
