obligations under this Mortgage to maintain the Property, comply with Law and

alteration, demolition or removal of any of the Property except as may be
permitted by the provisions of this Mortgage. If the independent expert's report

independent expert's review and report will be at Borrower's expense, payable on
demand.

approves, Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of the blanket policy

reasonable discretion. Borrower authorizes Lender to act, at Lender's option, on
Borrower's behalf in connection with any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will
execute and deliver to Lender all documents requested by Lender and all
documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in

to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be
restored to an economically and architecturally viable unit;

demonstrated to Lender are sufficient to pay Debt Service Payments
after paying the Impositions, Insurance Premiums, reasonable and
customary operating expenses and capital expenditures until Restoration
is complete; and
(viii) Lender is satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or
before the date (the "RESTORATION COMPLETION DATE") that is the
earliest of: (A) 12 months prior to the Maturity Date; (B) 12 months

to the deficiency within 30 days of receiving notice of the deficiency
from Lender; and

Documents to which Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower is a party at
the time Borrower requests funds or at the time Lender disburses funds.

Restoration or while work is in progress, to retain, at Borrower's expense, an
independent engineer or other consultant to review any plans and specifications

out of the Restoration Funds.

elect, in its sole discretion either to apply the excess as a credit against any
portion of the Debt, at par without penalty or premium, as selected by Lender in

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may take any of the
FOLLOWING actions (the "REMEDIES") without notice to Borrower:
(i) declare all or any portion of the Debt immediately due and
payable ("ACCELERATION");
(ii) pay or perform any Obligation;
(iii) institute a Proceeding for the specific performance of any
Obligation, including, without limitation, an action to collect and
enforce the Liabilities under the Guaranty;
(iv) apply for the appointment of a Receiver to be vested with the
fullest powers permitted by Law, without bond being required, which
appointment may be made exparte, as a matter of right and without
regard to the value of the Property, the amount of the Debt or the
solvency of Borrower or any other person liable for the payment or
performance of any portion of the Obligations;
(v) directly, by its agents or representatives or through a
Receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, enter on the
Land and Improvements, take possession of the Property, dispossess
Borrower and exercise Borrower's rights with respect to the Property,
either in Borrower's name or otherwise;
(vi) institute a Proceeding for the foreclosure of this Mortgage
or, if applicable, sell by power of sale, all or any portion of the
Property;

Mortgage for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to
the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance of the Debt not
then due;
(viii) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and
(ix) pursue any other right or remedy available to Lender at Law,
in equity or otherwise.
(b) If an Event of Default occurs, the license granted to Borrower
in the Assignment to collect Rents will terminate automatically without any
action required of Lender. Pursuant to the provisions of 765 ILCS 5/31.5, the
mere recordation of the Assignment entitles Lender immediately to collect and
receive Rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in Section
14.1, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law,
including providing notice to Borrower, filing foreclosure proceedings, or
seeking the appointment of a receiver. Further, Lender's right to the Rents does
not depend on whether or not Lender takes possession of the Property as
permitted under Section
33
14.2(iv). In Lender's sole discretion, Lender may choose to collect Rents either
with or without taking possession of the Property.
Section 14.3 General Provisions Pertaining to Remedies.
(a) The Remedies are cumulative and may be pursued concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion and without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
(b) The enumeration in the Loan Documents of specific rights or
powers will not be construed to limit any general rights or powers or impair
Lender's rights with respect to the Remedies.
(c) If Lender exercises any of the Remedies, Lender will not be
deemed a mortgagee-in-possession unless Lender has elected affirmatively to be a
mortgagee-in-possession.
(d) Lender will not be liable for any act or omission of Lender in
connection with the exercise of the Remedies.
(e) Lender's right to exercise any Remedy will not be impaired by
any delay in exercising or failure to exercise the Remedy and the delay or
failure will not be construed as extending any cure period or constitute a
waiver of the default or Event of Default.
(f) If an Event of Default occurs, Lender's payment or performance
or acceptance of payment or performance will not be deemed a waiver or cure of
the Event of Default.
(g) Lender's acceptance of partial payment or receipt of Rents
will not extend or affect any grace period, constitute a waiver of a default or
Event of Default or constitute a recision of Acceleration.
Section 14.4 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 14.5 General Provisions Pertaining to Mortgagee-in-Possession
or Receiver.
(a) If an Event of Default occurs, any court of competent
jurisdiction will, upon application by Lender, appoint a Receiver as designated

Property, committing waste or doing any other act that will tend to affect the
preservation of the Leases, the Rents and the Property and Borrower approves the
appointment of the designated Receiver or any other Receiver appointed by the
court. Borrower agrees that the appointment may be made ex parte and as a matter
of right to Lender, either before or after sale of the Property, without further
notice, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency, at the time of
application for the Receiver, of the person or persons, if any, liable for the
payment of any portion of the Debt and the
34
performance of any portion of the Obligations and without regard to the value of
the Property or whether the Property is occupied as a homestead and without bond
being required of the applicant.
(b) The Receiver will be vested with the fullest powers permitted
by Law including, without limitation, those listed in 735 ILCS 5/15-1704, and
including all powers necessary or usual in similar cases for the protection,
possession and operation of the Property and all the powers and duties of Lender
as a mortgagee-in-possession as provided in this Mortgage and may continue to
exercise all the usual powers and duties until the Receiver is discharged by the
court.
(c) In addition to the Remedies and all other available rights,
Lender or the Receiver may take any of the following actions:
(i) take exclusive possession, custody and control of the Property
and manage the Property so as to prevent waste;
(ii) require Borrower to deliver to Lender or the Receiver all
keys, security deposits, operating accounts, prepaid Rents, past due
Rents, the Books and Records and all original counterparts of the
Leases and the Property Documents;

paying all expenses of collection, including reasonable receiver's,
broker's and attorney's fees, apply the net collections to the Debt;

more sales, at the time and place, on terms and in the order that
Lender deems expedient in its sole discretion;
(iv) if a portion of the Property is sold pursuant to this Article,
the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect with respect to
any unmatured portion of the Debt and this Mortgage will continue as a
valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Property, subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions, without loss of priority and without impairment of any of
Lender's rights and remedies with respect to the unmatured portion of
the Debt;
(v) Lender may bid for and acquire the Property at a sale and, in
lieu of paying cash, may credit the amount of Lender's bid against any

Section 14.10 Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Act. If any provision of
this Mortgage is inconsistent with any applicable provision of the Illinois
Mortgage Foreclosure Law, Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 735, Section
5/15-1101 et M., (herein the "ACT"), the provisions of the Act shall take
precedence over the provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable any other provision of this Mortgage that can fairly be
construed in a manner consistent with the Act.
(a) Without in any way limiting or restricting any of Lender's
rights, remedies, powers and authorities under this Mortgage, and in addition to
all of such rights, remedies, powers, and authorities, the Lender shall also
have and may exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and authorities which
the holder of a mortgage is permitted to have or exercise under the provisions
of the Act, as the same may be amended from time to time. If any provision of
this Mortgage shall grant to Mortgagee any rights, remedies, powers or
authorities upon default of the Borrower which are more limited than the rights
that would otherwise be vested in Lender under the Act in the absence of said
provision, Lender shall be vested with all of the rights, remedies, powers and
authorities granted in the Act to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses
incurred by Lender, to the extent reimbursable, under Sections 5/15-1510,
5/15-1512, or any other provision of the Act, whether incurred before or after
any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether or not enumerated in any
other provision of this Mortgage, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by

Borrower or Borrower's members, for or on account of the deficiency, except as
set forth in subsections (b) and (c).
37
(b) The limitation of liability in subsection (a) will not affect

any lien or security interest Lender has under the Loan Documents; (ii) the

Loan; (B) any inducements to Lender to make the Loan; (C) the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents; (D) any certificates,

the Loan; or (E) Borrower's performance of the Obligations to the

under the Loan Documents executed by Borrower or any Affiliate of
Borrower and all moneys that, on the date an Event of Default occurs,

relating to the operation of the Property, except to the extent
properly applied to payment of Debt Service Payments, Impositions,
Insurance Premiums, and any reasonable and customary expenses incurred
by Borrower in the operation, maintenance and leasing of the Property
or delivered to Lender;
(iii) the cost of remediation of any Environment Activity affecting
the Property and any other losses sutlered and liabilities and expenses

pursuant to express provisions of the Loan Documents to protect

Borrower to make the payment and Borrower failed to do so;

or materials delivered to the Property prior to a foreclosure sale of
the Property, but only to the extent Lender had advanced funds to pay
for the work or materials;

Mortgage or not paid to Lender as required under this Mortgage;
(ix) all losses suffered and liabilities and expenses incurred by
Lender relating to a Transfer that is not permitted under the Section

Lender relating to forfeiture or threatened forfeiture of the Property
to the Government (other than any Condemnation);

after payment of the Note(s) and satisfaction of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
act to extend the duration of any Obligation beyond the limits
expressly established with respect thereto.
(d) Nothing under subparagraph (a) above will be deemed to be a
waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b)
or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Law relating to
bankruptcy or insolvency to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to
require that all collateral will continue to secure all of the Obligations in
accordance with the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE XVIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 18.1 Applicable Law. This instrument is to be governed by and
will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State or commonwealth where
the Property is located.
Section 18.2 Usury Limitations. Borrower and Lender intend to comply
with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any
amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the
Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread
throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest
charged or received by Lender on account of the Principal does not exceed the
Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan
Documents executed by Borrower securing the Note(s) that is deemed to be
interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or
received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a
prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the
excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during
the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for the purposes
of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate.
Section 18.3 Lender's Discretion. Wherever under the Loan Documents any
matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender has the right to approve
or determine any
43
matter or Lender has an election, Lender's approval, determination or election
will be made in Lender's reasonable discretion unless expressly provided to the
contrary.
Section 18.4 Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision in the Loan
Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate
any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the
Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in
the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full
force and effect.
Section 18.5 Survival of Borrower's Obligations. Borrower's
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents will
continue in full force and effect and survive (i) assignment or other transfer
of all or any portion of Lender's interest in the Loan Documents or the
Property; (ii) Lender's exercise of any of the Remedies or any of Lender's other
rights under the Loan Documents; (iii) except as provided in Section
12.2(b)(vi), a Transfer; (iv) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (v) any
other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or
discharge of Borrower other than satisfaction with Obligation and release of
this Mortgage. The provisions of this Section 18.5 shall not limit the survival
of Borrower's obligation under the Indemnity executed by Borrower as to which
the limitations set forth therein shall apply.
Section 18.6 Relationship Between Borrower and Lender; No Third Party
Beneficiaries.
(a) Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or
any other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents; the relationship between Lender and Borrower is strictly that of
creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to
that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other
than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will
have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As
between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan
Documents will be taken for Lender's protection only, and Lender has not and
will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any
other entity by virtue of Lender's actions.
(b) All conditions to Lender's performance of its obligations
under the Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity
other than Lender will have standing to require satisfaction of the conditions
in accordance with their provisions or will be entitled to assume that Lender
will refuse to perform its obligations in the absence of strict compliance with
any of the conditions.
Section 18.7 Partial Releases; Extensions; Waivers. Lender may: (i)
release any part of the Property or any entity obligated for any of the
Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or performance of any of the
Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for payment or performance by
agreement with any entity that is obligated for the Obligations or that has an
interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional security for the payment and
performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any entity's performance of an
Obligation, release any entity or individual now or in the future liable for the
performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise of any Remedy or option.
Lender may exercise any of the
44
foregoing rights without notice, without regard to the amount of any
consideration given, without effecting the priority of the Loan Documents,
without releasing any entity not specifically released from its obligations
under the Loan Documents, without releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of
any of the Obligations, without effecting a novation of the Loan Documents and,
with respect to a waiver, without waiving future performance of the Obligation
or exercise of the Remedy waived.
Section 18.8 Service of Process. Borrower irrevocably consents to
service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled
"NOTICES".
Section 18.9 Entire Agreement. Oral agreements or commitments between
Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing
repayment of a debt, including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not
enforceable. Any agreements between Borrower and Lender relating to the Loan are
contained in the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, which contain the
complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between Borrower and Lender,
except as Borrower and Lender may later agree in writing to amend such Loan
Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed as a whole
according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the draftsman.
Section 18.10 No Oral Amendment. The Loan Documents may not be amended,
waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by
Borrower or Lender but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written
document signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver
or termination is sought.
Section 18.11 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will not affect
any other provisions of the Loan Documents, which will be construed as if the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included.
Section 18.12 Covenants Run with the Land. Subject to the restrictions
on transfer contained in the Article entitled "TRANSFERS, LIENS AND
ENCUMBRANCES", all of the covenants of this Mortgage and the Assignment run with
the Land, will bind all parties hereto and all tenants and subtenants of the
Land Or the Improvements and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and all occupants and subsequent owners of the Property,
and will inure to the benefit of Lender and all subsequent holders of the
Note(s) and this Mortgage.
Section 18.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect
to Borrower's payment and performance of the Obligations.
Section 18.14. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
45
Section 18.15 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more
than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person
or entity under this Mortgage are joint and several.
Section 18.16 Successors and Assigns. The Loan Documents bind the
parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit
of Lender and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents
and representatives.
Section 18.17 Duplicates and Counterparts. Duplicate counterparts of
any Loan Documents, other than the Note(s), may be executed and together will
constitute a single original document.
ARTICLE XIX

advances made by Lender to Borrower. Lender hereby binds itself to make advances
