condition and promptly perform all repairs, replacements, and maintenance
necessary to preserve its value.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Grantor represents and warrants to
Lender that: (1) During the period of Grantor's ownership of the Property,
there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment,
disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any
person on, under, about or from the Property; (2) Grantor has no knowledge
of, or reason to believe that there has been, except as previously
disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) any breach or
violation of any Environmental Laws, (b) any use, generation, manufacture,
storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any
Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Property by any prior

Grantor authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Property to
make such inspections and tests, at Grantor's expense, as Lender may deem
appropriate to determine compliance of the Property with this section of
the Mortgage. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for
Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any
responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Grantor or to any
other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are
based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Property for
Hazardous Substances. Grantor hereby (1) releases and waives any future
claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor

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, shall
survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction and
reconveyance of the lien of this Mortgage and shall not be affected by
Lender's acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by
foreclosure or otherwise.
NUISANCE, WASTE. Grantor shall not cause, conduct or permit any nuisance
nor commit, permit, or suffer any stripping of or waste on or to the

with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of
all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the
Property, including without limitation, the Americans 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 Lender's 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 of the
Property are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the Property.
DUE ON SALE - CONSENT BY LENDER. Lender may, at Lender's option, declare
immediately due and payable all sums secured by this Mortgage upon the sale or
transfer, without Lender's prior written consent, of all or any part of the Real
Property, or any interest in the Real Property. A "sale or transfer" means the
conveyance of Real
2
Property or any right, title or interest in the Real Property; whether legal,
beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary; whether by outright
sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed,
leasehold interest with a term greater than three (3) years, lease-option
contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or
to any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any other method of
conveyance of an interest in the Real Property. If any Grantor is a corporation,
partnership or limited liability company, transfer also includes any change in
ownership of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock,
partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case may
be, of such Grantor. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if
such exercise is prohibited by federal law or by Iowa law.
TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the
Property are part of this Mortgage:
PAYMENT. Grantor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to
delinquency) all taxes, payroll taxes, special taxes, assessments, water
charges and sewer service charges levied against or on account of the
Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for
services rendered or material furnished to the Property. Grantor shall
maintain the Property free of any liens having priority over or equal to
the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, except for the Existing
Indebtedness referred to in this Mortgage or 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 Lender as an
additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest
proceedings.
EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to Lender
satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments and shall
authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at
any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the
Property.
NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION. Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (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
3
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.
COMPLIANCE WITH EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. During the period in which any
Existing Indebtedness described below is in effect, compliance with the
insurance provisions contained in the instrument evidencing such Existing
Indebtedness shall constitute compliance with the insurance provisions
under this Mortgage, to the extent compliance with the terms of this
Mortgage would constitute a duplication of insurance requirement. If any
proceeds from the insurance become payable on loss, the provisions in this
Mortgage for division of proceeds shall apply only to that portion of the
proceeds not payable to the holder of the Existing Indebtedness.
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 insured; (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.
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 comply with any obligation to maintain
Existing Indebtedness in good standing as required below, or 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 or at the highest rate authorized by
law, 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 liens and
encumbrances other than those set forth in the Real Property description

policy, title report, or final title opinion issued in favor of, and
accepted by, Lender in connection with this Mortgage, (b) Grantor has the
full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage to
Lender, and (c) the liens granted hereby are not the type of
4
lien referred to in Chapter 575 of the Iowa Code Supplement, as now
enacted or hereafter modified, amended or replaced. Grantor, for itself
and all persons claiming by, through or under Grantor, agrees that it
claims no lien or right to a lien of the type contemplated by Chapter 575
or any other chapter of the Code of Iowa and further waives all notices
and rights pursuant to said law with respect to the liens hereby granted,
and represents and warrants that it is the sole party entitled to do so
and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender from any loss, damage,
and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, threatened or suffered by
Lender arising either directly or indirectly as a result of any claim of
the applicability of said law to the liens hereby granted.
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

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

pay, or see to the payment of, the Existing Indebtedness and to prevent
any default on such indebtedness, any default under the instruments
evidencing such indebtedness, or any default under any security documents
for such indebtedness.
NO MODIFICATION. Grantor shall not enter into any agreement with the
holder of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security agreement which

amended, extended, or renewed without the prior written consent of Lender.

such security agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.
CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are
a part of this Mortgage:
PROCEEDINGS. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall

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

Uniform Commercial Code.
COLLECT RENTS. Lender shall have the right, without notice to 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.
NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE. Lender may exercise the right to non-judicial
foreclosure pursuant to Iowa Code Section 654.18 and Chapter 655A as now
enacted or hereafter modified, amended or replaced.
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 purchaser of the
Property and shall, at Lender's option, either (1) pay a reasonable rental
for the use of the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon
the demand of Lender. This paragraph is subject to any rights of Grantor,
under Iowa law, to remain in possession of the Property during a
redemption period.
8
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, 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 separately, in one sale or by
separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all
or any portion of the Property.
NOTICE OF SALE. Lender shall give Grantor reasonable notice of the time
and place of any public sale of the Personal Property or of the time after
which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal
Property is to be made. Reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least
ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Any sale of the
Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real
Property.
SHORTENED REDEMPTION. Grantor hereby agrees that, in the event of
foreclosure of this Mortgage, Lender may, at Lender's sole option, elect
to reduce the period of redemption pursuant to Iowa Code Sections 628.26,
628.27, or 628.28, or any other Iowa Code Section, to such time as may be
then applicable and provided by law.
ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not
exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make 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 an Event of Default, or in any way
to limit or restrict the rights and ability of Lender to proceed directly
against Grantor and/or against any other co-maker, guarantor, surety or
endorser and/or to proceed against any other collateral directly or
indirectly securing the Indebtedness.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. If Lender institutes any suit or action to
enforce any of the terms of this Mortgage, Lender shall be entitled to
recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at
trial and upon any appeal. Whether or not any court action is involved,
and to the extent not prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses Lender
incurs that in Lender's opinion are necessary at any time for the
protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a
part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the
Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid. Expenses covered
by this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any
limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal
expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and
expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate
any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post
judgment collection services, the cost of searching records, obtaining
title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors' reports, and
appraisal fees and title insurance, to the extent permitted by applicable
law. Grantor also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums
provided by law.
NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Mortgage, including without
limitation any notice of default and any notice of sale shall be given in
writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received
by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a
nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the
United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage
prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Mortgage.
All copies of notices of foreclosure from the holder of any lien which has
priority over this Mortgage shall be sent to Lender's address, as shown near the
beginning of this Mortgage. Any party may change its address for notices under
this Mortgage by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying
that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address. For notice
purposes, Grantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor's
current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more
than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be
notice given to all Grantors.

waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Mortgage. No prior waiver by
Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender

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.

Mortgage with any other interest or estate in the Property at any time
held by or for the benefit of Lender in any capacity, without the written

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.
