Borrower hereby grants to Lender, and hereby acknowledges and agrees, that all monies coming into the possession of the Receiver with respect to the Property or Borrower’s business operations at the Property shall be impressed with the security interest in favor of Lender granted pursuant hereto and to the other Loan Documents.

The rights and powers of Lender and receivers under this Mortgage and the application of Rents under this section shall continue until expiration of the redemption period from any foreclosure sale, whether or not any deficiency remains after a foreclosure sale. If Lender makes any advances to a receiver, or otherwise for the benefit of the Property, such advances shall become indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

The rights and powers of Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect both prior to and after any foreclosure of this Mortgage and any sale pursuant thereto and until expiration of the period of redemption from said sale, regardless of whether a deficiency remains from said sale. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale, including Lender shall have the right, at any time and without limitation as provided in Minn. Stat. Section 582.03, to advance money to any Receiver appointed for the Property to pay any part or all of the items which the Receiver would otherwise be authorized to pay if cash were available from the Property and the sum so advanced, with interest at the rate then in effect in the Note, or if the Note has been extinguished, at the highest rate previously set forth in the Note, shall be a part of the sum required to be paid to redeem from any foreclosure sale. The rights hereunder shall in no way be dependent upon and shall apply without regard to whether the Property are in danger of being lost, materially injured or damaged or whether the Property are adequate to discharge the indebtedness secured hereby. The rights contained herein are in addition to and shall be cumulative with the rights given in any separate instrument, if any, assigning any Leases and Rents of the Property and shall not amend or modify the rights in any such separate agreement.

It is the intention of the parties that this Section shall confer upon Lender the fullest rights, remedies and benefits available under the laws of the State of Minnesota for the appointment of a receiver, the assignment of Rents and Leases as security for the Loan and the collection and application of Rents from the Property.

Foreclosure and Other Actions by Lender

When the Indebtedness becomes due, whether upon Maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, Lender may institute one or more actions of mortgage foreclosure against the Property or take such other action at Law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage and the Note and realization on the Property as the Law may allow, and may proceed to final judgment and execution for the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness, with interest at the Interest Rate stipulated in the Note to the date of the Event of Default, and thereafter at the Default Rate together with all other sums due in accordance with the provisions of the Note, this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.

payments of Liens, or repairs to the Property; (c) appraiser's fees, documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably necessary (which costs may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of judgment) either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale conducted pursuant to such judgment the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property; (d) all costs of suit; (e) the protection of the Property and the maintenance of this Mortgage, including but not limited to reasonable fees of any attorney empowered by Lender in any litigation or proceedings affecting this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, including probate proceedings and Bankruptcy Proceedings or in the preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding; (f) Lender's exercise of its right of possession as set forth herein; and (g) any other costs incurred by Lender in proceeding hereunder. If the Property consists of separate parcels, Lender may prosecute separate foreclosure actions with respect to one or more of such parcels in such order as Lender determines in its sole discretion. Any real estate or interest therein sold pursuant to any writ of execution issued on a judgment obtained by virtue of the Note or this Mortgage, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage, may be sold in one parcel, as an entirety, or in such parcels, and such interests, and in such manner or order as Lender elects in its sole discretion. If Lender elects to exercise its remedies hereunder with respect to a portion, but not all, of the Property securing the Loan, no such election or exercise will impair or otherwise affect Lender's Lien upon or rights with respect to the remainder of such Property. Lender will not be required to accept any part or parts of the Property, as distinguished from the whole, as payment of or for the Indebtedness notwithstanding the value of said part or parts and Lender will not be compelled to accept or allow such apportionment of the Indebtedness to any part of the Property. Borrower agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage may sell the Property in part or in its entirety.

6.3

Power of Sale

This Mortgage contains a power of sale as provided for by the Laws of the State. Should Lender elect to foreclose the Mortgage by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, Lender shall cause to be given all notices required by law. Lender shall then sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed in any notice of sale and as otherwise required by law, either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels, as Lender shall deem expedient, as allowed by law, to the highest bidder. Lender may postpone any sale by announcement as required by law. Lender shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to such purchaser or purchasers thereof, good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the Property so sold. Any person, including, without limitation, as allowed by law, Borrower or Lender, may purchase at such sale.

6.4.2 If Lender or any agent of Lender or any Receiver takes possession of the Property and the Rents, Lender, such agent or Receiver, as applicable, will have and is hereby given the right but will have no obligation, with or without force, or without proceeding by process of Law, to enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Property together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts of Borrower relating to the Property, and may exclude Borrower and Borrower's agents or servants wholly from the Property.

6.4.3 If Lender, Lender's agent or the Receiver permits Borrower to remain in possession of any part of the Property, Borrower will pay monthly in advance to Lender, such agent or such Receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in the actual possession of Borrower, and upon default of any such payment Borrower will vacate and surrender possession of such part of the Property to Lender or to such Receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by Lender.

6.4.4 Lender, such agent or such Receiver may, as attorney-in-fact or agent of Borrower or in its own name, hold, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business, if any, thereof with full power to use such legal or equitable measures as, in its reasonable discretion, Lender may deem proper or necessary to enforce the payment of the Rents, or protect the value, marketability or rentability of the Property; (a) to cancel or terminate any Lease for any cause or on any grounds which would entitle Borrower to cancel such Lease; (b) to extend or modify any then existing Leases and to make new Leases, which extensions, modifications and new Leases may provide for terms to expire beyond the Maturity Date of the Indebtedness and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such Leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, will be binding upon Borrower and all Persons whose interests in the Property are subject to the Lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any discharge or satisfaction of the Indebtedness, satisfaction of any foreclosure decree or deficiency judgment, or issuance of any bill of sale or deed to any purchaser; (c) to make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to the Property; (d) to insure and reinsure the Property and all risks incidental to possession, operation and management thereof; (e) to collect and receive all Rents and exercise each and every of the rights, privileges and powers herein granted, without notice to Borrower; (f) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Lender; (g) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, Lien or debt which, may affect or, in Lender's judgment, appear to affect the security of this Mortgage or

Lender or such agent or Receiver will be liable to account only for Rents actually received, and Lender will not be liable to account for Rents held by the Receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any Receiver, Lender will be entitled to the continued possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing rights and powers, neither Lender, such agent nor such Receiver will be obligated to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease. Borrower will and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Lender, and each such agent and Receiver harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may incur in connection with taking any action it is authorized to take under this section and the amount of any such cost, loss, expense or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, will be secured by this Mortgage until paid in full.

6.5

No Impairment of Obligations

Neither Borrower nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage will be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person so obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Property or any interest therein and Lender extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents without first having given notice to, or obtained the consent of, Borrower or such other Person; and, in the latter event, Borrower and all such other Persons will continue to be liable to make payments according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Lender.

6.6

Recovery of Expenses by Lender

All expenses incurred by Lender and added to the Indebtedness, will be immediately due and payable by Borrower, together with interest at the Default Rate, and will be secured by this Mortgage. Lender will have the right, from time to time, to bring an action to recover any sums required to be paid by Borrower under the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not the Indebtedness or any other sums evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage will be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender to bring an action of mortgage foreclosure, or any other action, for any Default by Borrower existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.

6.7

Expenses during Redemption Period

If this Mortgage is foreclosed and the Property or any part thereof is sold or attempted to be sold at a foreclosure sale, the purchaser may, during any redemption period allowed, make such repairs or alterations on the Property as may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation, care, preservation, protection and insuring thereof. Any sums so paid together with interest thereon from the time of such expenditure at the lesser of the Default Rate under the Note, or the maximum rate permitted by law, shall be added to and become a part of the amount required to be paid for redemption from such sale.

Article 7.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1

Governing Law

Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Borrower at its address provided in the Loan Agreement. Nothing in this section, however, will affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Lender to bring any suit, action or proceeding against Borrower or Borrower's assets in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

7.2

Notice

Each Notice under this Mortgage shall be delivered as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

7.5

Proof of Claim

In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial case or proceedings affecting Borrower or any Guarantor, Lender may, unless prohibited by law, file such proof of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such case or proceedings for the entire Indebtedness due at the date of the institution of such case or proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date whether by the passage of time or by way of acceleration of the due date of such Indebtedness or Obligation as may be provided for in any of the Loan Documents.

7.6

Survival of Representations and Warranties

7.7

Severability of Provisions

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents to be invalid or unenforceable as to any Person or circumstance in any state, such finding will not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other Person or circumstance or state. Where permitted by applicable Laws, any provision found invalid or unenforceable will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if such provision cannot be deemed so modified, it will be deemed stricken and all other provisions of this Mortgage in all other respects will remain valid and enforceable.

7.10

Merger; Construction Against

If both the lessor's and lessee's estates under any lease or any portion thereof which constitutes a part of the Property will at any time become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby will not be destroyed or terminated by application of the Doctrine of Merger, and, in such event, Lender will continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Lender as purchaser after any foreclosure. No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser will constitute a termination of any lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser will give written notice thereof to such tenant or subtenant.

7.11

Future Advances

In the event further Advances are made to Borrower by Lender, such advances, with interest thereon, will be secured by this Mortgage when evidenced by promissory notes stating that such notes are secured hereby. At no time will the maturity of such further advances secured hereby extend beyond the maturity date of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Mortgage is an "open-end" mortgage and shall constitute a lien on the Property for all advances and expenses of Lender, including, but not limited to, interest thereon, regardless of when such advances are made or expenses are incurred.

7.12
