THIS IS A MORTGAGE AMENDMENT AS DEFINED IN MINNESOTA STATUTES, SECTION 287.01, SUBDIVISION 2, AND AS SUCH, IT DOES NOT SECURE A NEW OR INCREASED AMOUNT OF DEBT.

The Lender and the Borrower have agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the First Loan, the Second Loan, and the Third Loan (collectively, the "Loan") pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

B. The Loan shall be repaid with interest thereon, as evidenced by that certain Amended and Restated Note of even date herewith payable to the order of Lender (the "Note", which term shall include any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, replacement, or restatement thereof) and is the subject of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender (the "Credit Agreement," which term shall include any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, replacement, or restatement thereof). The Note, the Credit Agreement, and any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are each dated the same date as this Mortgage, are hereby incorporated by reference, and, together with this Mortgage, as any of the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, replaced, or restated, are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents."

C. The obligations secured by this Mortgage (the "Obligations") are as follows:

(ii) interest on the amount advanced and unrepaid, at the interest rate or rates provided in the Notes; plus

(iii) all other amounts payable by Borrower and all other agreements of Borrower under the Loan Documents as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended.

D. The Obligations shall mature on or before October 1, 2005 (the "Maturity Date").

E. The maximum principal indebtedness secured hereby is $5,695,000 plus amounts which may be advanced by Lender in protection of the Mortgaged Property or this Mortgage.

F. Lender and Borrower have agreed to consolidate and coordinate the liens of the Original Mortgage, Second Mortgage and Third Mortgage so that they shall together constitute a single first lien of $5,695,000, with interest, to spread said lien over all of Borrower's right, title and interest, now or hereafter acquired, in the Mortgaged Property (as that term is hereinafter defined) and to modify and restate in their entirety the Original Mortgage, Second Mortgage and Third Mortgage as if one mortgage covering the Mortgaged Property had been executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender to secure the Obligations, all as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed that (a) the lien of the Original Mortgage, the Second Mortgage and the Third Mortgage be and hereby is spread over all of the Borrower's right, title and interest, now or hereafter acquired, in the Mortgaged Property so that same shall and now does constitute a valid first mortgage thereon, and (b) all terms and conditions of the Original Mortgage, the Second Mortgage and the Third Mortgage shall be superseded by, and deemed to have been amended and restated in their entirety by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Mortgage, and (c) the Original Mortgage, the Second Mortgage and the Third Mortgage are hereby combined and consolidated and made equal and coordinate in lien without priority of the one over the other so that together they shall hereafter constitute in law but one mortgage, a single first lien on all of Borrower's right, title and interest, now or hereafter acquired, in the Mortgaged Property, in the principal sum of the Obligations securing the Note with the same intent and with like effect as if one mortgage covering the Mortgaged Property had been executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender to secure said Obligations, which shall be payable as provided in the Note, and (d) Borrower, in consideration of Lender making and amending the Loan, and to secure the Loan and payment and performance of the Obligations, hereby grants, bargains, sells, conveys, and mortgages to Lender, its successors and assigns, forever, with power of sale, and grants to

Lender, its successors and assigns, a security interest in the following, all of which is called the "Mortgaged Property":

A. LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS

B. FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

All fixtures (the "Fixtures"), and all machinery, equipment and personal property (collectively the "Personal Property") now or hereafter located on, in or under the Land and the Improvements, and necessary or useful in connection with the functioning of the Land or the Improvements for their general intended purposes (but not to the extent primarily used in the operation of Borrower's specific business), and which are owned by Borrower or in which Borrower has an interest, including any construction and building materials stored on and to be included in the Improvements, and also including those specific items, if any, described in Exhibit B attached hereto, plus any repairs, replacements and betterments to any of the foregoing and the proceeds and products thereof; and

C. LEASES AND RENTS

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same, and all estate therein, together with all the rights, privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging, to the use and benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, forever.

PROVIDED NEVERTHELESS, should Borrower pay and perform all the Obligations, then these presents will be of no further force and effect, and this Mortgage shall be satisfied by Lender, at the expense of Borrower.

This Mortgage constitutes an assignment of rents and profits within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, §§ 559.17 and 576.01, and is intended to comply fully with the provisions thereof, and to afford Lender, to the fullest extent allowed by law, the rights and remedies of a mortgage lender or secured lender pursuant thereto.

BORROWER FURTHER agrees as follows:

ARTICLE I
AGREEMENTS

Section 1.1 Performance of Obligations; Incorporation by Reference. Borrower shall pay and perform the Obligations. Time is of the essence hereof. All of the covenants, obligations, agreements, warranties and representations of Borrower contained in the Note and the other Loan Documents and all of the terms and provisions thereof, are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference as if fully set forth herein.

Section 1.2 Further Assurances. If Lender requests, Borrower shall sign and deliver and cause to be recorded as Lender shall direct any further mortgages, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents as Lender reasonably may consider necessary or desirable in order to perfect, continue and preserve the Obligations and Lender's rights, title, estate, liens and interests under the Loan Documents. Borrower further agrees to pay to Lender, upon demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and refiling of any such documents, including attorneys' fees and title insurance costs.

Section 1.3 Sale, Transfer, Encumbrance. If Borrower sells, conveys, transfers or otherwise disposes of, or encumbers, any part of its interest in the Mortgaged Property, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender, Lender shall have the option to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable without notice. Included within the foregoing actions requiring prior written consent of Lender are: (a) sale by deed or contract for deed; (b) mortgaging or granting a lien on the Mortgaged Property; and (c) a transfer which changes the persons in control of Borrower or which transfers more than 25% of the beneficial interest in Borrower, except for transfers to related or affiliated entities. Borrower shall give notice of any proposed action to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to taking such action. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in evaluating any such action. Lender may condition such consent upon modification of the Loan Documents or payment of fees. No such action shall relieve Borrower from liability for the Obligations. The consent by Lender to any action shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity of such consent to any subsequent action.

Section 1.4 Insurance. Borrower shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect (and upon request of Lender shall furnish to Lender copies of) policies of insurance as described in, and meeting the requirements set forth in, Exhibit C attached hereto, and upon request of Lender shall furnish to Lender proof of payment of all premiums for such insurance. At least ten (10) days prior to the termination of any such coverage, Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that such coverage will be renewed or replaced upon termination with insurance that complies with the provisions of this Section. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time when Lender shall so request, will provide Lender with evidence, in a form acceptable to Lender, of the full insurable replacement cost of the Mortgaged Property. All property (including boiler and machinery) and liability insurance policies maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall (i) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against Lender, and (ii) provide that any losses shall be payable notwithstanding (a) any act of negligence by Borrower or Lender, (b) any foreclosure or other proceedings or notice of foreclosure sale relating to the Mortgaged Property, or (c) any release from liability or waiver of subrogation rights granted by the insured. All insurance policies maintained by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall respond on a primary basis relative to any other insurance carried by Lender in

the event of loss. Insurance terms not otherwise defined herein shall be interpreted consistent with insurance industry usage.

Section 1.5 Taxes, Liens and Claims, Utilities. Borrower, at least five (5) days before any penalty attaches thereto, shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies (collectively "Impositions") imposed upon or against the Mortgaged Property or the Rents, or upon or against the Obligations, or upon or against the interest of Lender in the Mortgaged Property or the Obligations, except Impositions measured by the income of Lender. Borrower shall provide evidence of such payment at Lender's request. Borrower shall keep the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations (collectively "Liens") except those listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Permitted Encumbrances"). Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid when due all charges or fees for utilities and services supplied to the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, Borrower shall not be required to pay or discharge any Imposition or Lien so long as Borrower shall in good faith, and after giving notice to Lender, contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings. If Borrower contests any Imposition or Lien against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall provide such security to Lender as Lender shall reasonably require against loss or impairment of Borrower's ownership of or Lender's lien on the Mortgaged Property and shall in any event pay such Imposition or Lien before loss or impairment occurs.

Section 1.6 Escrow Payments. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender monthly on the same date as payments are due under the Note the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be necessary to enable Lender to pay, at least five (5) days before they become due, all Impositions against the Mortgaged Property and the premiums upon all insurance required hereby to be maintained with respect to the Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that Lender shall not request such escrow deposits until after an Event of Default hereunder. All funds so deposited shall secure the Obligations. Such deposits shall be held by Lender, or its nominee, in a non-interest bearing account and may be commingled with other funds. Such deposits shall be used to pay such Impositions and insurance premiums when due. Any excess sums so deposited shall be retained by Lender and shall be applied to pay said items in the future, unless the Obligations have been paid and performed in full, in which case all excess sums so paid shall be refunded to Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any funds in said account against the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine.

Section 1.7 Maintenance and Repair; Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be operated, maintained and repaired in safe and good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted; shall not commit or permit waste thereof; except as provided in any Loan Document, shall not remove, demolish or substantially alter the design or structural character of any Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender; shall complete or cause to be completed forthwith any Improvements which are now or may hereafter be under construction upon the Land; shall comply or cause compliance with all laws, statutes, ordinances and codes, and governmental rules, regulations and requirements, applicable to the Mortgaged Property or the manner of using or operating the same, and with any covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations affecting the title to the Mortgaged Property, and with the terms of all insurance policies relating to the Mortgaged Property; and shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect all consents, permits and licenses necessary for the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.

Section 1.8 Leases.

(a) Borrower shall not enter into or amend any Lease without Lender's prior written consent, and shall furnish to Lender, upon execution, a complete and fully executed copy of each Lease. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of each proposed Lease requiring the consent of Lender and with any information requested by Lender regarding the proposed Tenant thereunder. Lender may declare each Lease to be prior or subordinate to this Mortgage, at Lender's option.

(b) Borrower shall, at its cost and expense, perform each obligation to be performed by the landlord under each Lease; not borrow against, pledge or further assign any rents or other payments due thereunder; not permit the prepayment of any rents or other payments due for more than thirty (30) days in advance; and not permit any Tenant to assign its Lease or sublet the premises covered by its Lease, unless required to do so by the terms thereof and then only if such assignment does not work to relieve the Tenant of any liability for performance of its obligations thereunder.

(c) If any Tenant shall default under its Lease, Borrower shall, in the ordinary course of business, exercise sound business judgment with respect to such default, but may discount, compromise, forgive or waive claims or discharge the Tenant from its obligations under the Lease or terminate or accept a surrender of the Lease.

(d) If Borrower fails to perform any obligations of Borrower under any Lease or if Lender becomes aware of or is notified by any Tenant of a failure on the part of Borrower to so perform, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, remedy such failure, and Borrower agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by Lender in remedying any such failure, together with interest thereon from the date incurred at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note).

(e) For purposes of this Mortgage, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) "Lease": Any lease or other document or agreement, written or oral, permitting any Person to use or occupy any part of the Mortgaged Property.

(ii) "Person": Any natural person, corporation, partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, firm, association, trust, unincorporated organization, government or governmental agency or political subdivision or any other entity, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.

(iii) "Tenant": Any person or party using or occupying any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a Lease.

Section 1.9 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively the "Indemnified Parties") against, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, all losses, damages, suits, claims, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities, costs and expenses (collectively a "Loss") by reason of, or on account of, or in connection with the construction, reconstruction or alteration of the Mortgaged Property, or any accident, injury, death or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb or passageway adjacent thereto, provided such Loss is not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. The indemnity contained in this Section shall include costs of defense of any such claim asserted against an Indemnified Party, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The indemnity contained in this Section shall survive payment and performance of the Obligations and satisfaction and release of this Mortgage and any foreclosure thereof or acquisition of title by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Section 1.10 Appraisals. Lender shall have the right from time to time, but not more often than once during any twelve (12)-month period, to obtain an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and prepared by an independent MAI appraiser selected by Lender. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost incurred for any such appraisal within ten (10) days following demand therefor by Lender, if Lender has reason to believe that the value of the Mortgaged Property has declined materially, and such appraisal determines that the then current principal amount of the Note exceeds 75% of the value of the Mortgaged Property.

(a) give immediate notice to the Lender; and

(c) if the Casualty is covered by insurance, immediately make proof of loss and collect all insurance proceeds, all such proceeds to be payable to Lender or as Lender shall direct. If an Event of Default shall be in existence, or if Borrower shall fail to provide notice to Lender of filing proof of loss, or if Borrower shall not be diligently proceeding, in Lender's reasonable opinion, to collect such insurance proceeds, then Lender may, but is not obligated to, make proof of loss, and is authorized, but is not obligated, to settle any claim with respect thereto, and to collect the proceeds thereof.

(a) There shall be no Event of Default in existence at the time of any disbursement of the insurance proceeds.

(b) Lender shall have determined, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of restoration, repair and rebuilding is and will be equal to or less than the amount of insurance proceeds and other funds deposited by Borrower with Lender.

(c) Lender shall have determined, in its reasonable discretion, that the restoration, repair and rebuilding can be completed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in accordance with codes and ordinances and in accordance with the terms, and within the time requirements in order to prevent termination, of any Lease, and in any event not less than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) All funds shall be disbursed, at Lender's option, in accordance with Lender's customary disbursement procedures for construction loans.

(e) The Casualty shall have occurred more than twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date.

If any insurance proceeds shall remain after completion of the restoration, repair and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, they shall be disbursed to Borrower, or at the Lender's discretion, used to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Note.

(a) give immediate notice thereof to Lender, and send a copy of each document received by Borrower in connection with the Condemnation to Lender promptly after receipt; and

(b) diligently pursue any negotiation and prosecute any proceeding in connection with the Condemnation at Borrower's expense.

Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any failure by Lender to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting any such compensation. Borrower shall not compromise or settle any claim resulting from the Condemnation if such settlement shall result in payment of $10,000 or more less than Lender's reasonable estimate of the damages therefrom. All awards shall be paid to Lender.

Section 3.4 Use of Condemnation Proceeds. Lender shall make the net proceeds of any Condemnation received by it (after reimbursement of Lender's out-of-pocket costs of collecting and disbursing the same) available to Borrower for restoration, repair and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, subject to the following conditions:

(a) There shall be no Event of Default in existence at the time of any disbursement of the condemnation proceeds.

(b) Lender shall determined, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of restoration, repair and rebuilding is and will be equal to or less than the amount of condemnation proceeds and other funds deposited by Borrower with Lender.

(d) All funds shall be disbursed, at Lender's option, in accordance with Lender's customary disbursement procedures for construction loans.

(e) The Condemnation shall have occurred more than twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date.

If any of these conditions shall not be satisfied, then Lender shall have the right to use the condemnation proceeds to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Note. If any condemnation proceeds shall remain after completion of the restoration, repair and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, they shall be disbursed to Borrower, or at Lender's discretion, used to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Note.

Lender may apply for the appointment of a receiver to the district court for the county where the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is located, by an action separate from any foreclosure of this Mortgage pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 580 or pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 581, or as a part of the foreclosure action under said Chapter 581 (it being agreed that the existence of a foreclosure pursuant to said Chapter 580 or a foreclosure action pursuant to said Chapter 581 is not a prerequisite to any action for a receiver hereunder). Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without

regard to waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of Borrower. The receiver, who shall be an experienced property manager, shall collect (until the Obligations are fully paid and satisfied and, in the case of a foreclosure sale, during the entire redemption period) the Rents, and shall manage the Mortgaged Property, execute Leases within or beyond the period of the receivership if approved by the court and apply all rents, profits and other income collected by him in the following order:

(i) to the payment of all reasonable fees of the receiver, if any, approved by the court;

(ii) to the repayment of tenant security deposits, with interest thereon, as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 504.20;

(iii) to the payment when due of delinquent or current real estate taxes or special assessments with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or the periodic escrow for the payment of the same;

(iv) to the payment when due of premiums for insurance of the type required by this Mortgage, or the periodic escrow for the payment of the same;

(v) to the payment for the keeping of the covenants required of a lessor or licensor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 504.18, subdivision 1;

(vi) to the payment of all expenses for normal maintenance of the Mortgaged Property; and

(vii) the balance to Lender (a) if received prior to the commencement of a foreclosure, to be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect and (b) if received after the commencement of a foreclosure, to be applied to the amount required to be paid to effect a reinstatement prior to foreclosure sale, or, after a foreclosure sale to any deficiency and thereafter to the amount required to be paid to effect a redemption, all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 580.30, 580.23 and 581.10, with any excess to be paid to Borrower. Provided, that if this Mortgage is not reinstated nor the Mortgaged Property redeemed as provided by said Sections 580.30, 580.23 or 581.10, the entire amount paid to Lender pursuant hereto shall be the property of Lender together with all or any part of the Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure.

Lender shall have the right, at any time and without limitation, as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 582.03, to advance money to the receiver to pay any part or all of the items which the receiver should otherwise pay if cash were available from the Mortgaged Property and sums so advanced, with interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, shall be secured hereby, or if advanced during the period of redemption shall be part of the sum required to be paid to redeem from the sale.

(d) LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COLLECT THE RENTS from the Mortgaged Property and apply the same in the manner hereinbefore provided with respect to a receiver. For that purpose, Lender may enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and manage and operate the same and take any action which, in Lender's judgment, is necessary or proper to collect the Rents and to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property. Lender may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all of the Personal Property. The expense (including any receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, costs and agent's compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage. Lender shall not be liable to account to Borrower for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to account for any Rents actually received by Lender. Enforcement hereof shall not cause Lender to be deemed a mortgagee in possession unless Lender elects in writing to be a mortgagee in possession.

(e) LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENTER AND TAKE POSSESSION of the Mortgaged Property and manage and operate the same in conformity with all applicable laws and take any action which, in Lender's judgment, is necessary or proper to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property.

(f) LENDER SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE including the right to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code provisions governing default as to any Personal Property separately from the real estate included within the Mortgaged Property, or to proceed as to all of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of said real estate. If Lender should elect to proceed separately as to such Personal Property, Borrower agrees to make such Personal Property available to Lender at a place or places acceptable to Lender, and if any notification of intended disposition of any of such Personal Property is required by law, such notification shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least ten (10) days before such disposition in the manner hereinafter provided.

(g) LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE PROOF OF CLAIM and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting Borrower, its creditors or its property, for the entire amount due and payable by Borrower in respect of the Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date.

Each remedy herein specifically given shall be in addition to every other right now or hereafter given or existing at law or in equity, and each and every right may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lender and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right. Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under the law in effect now and/or at the time such rights and remedies are sought to be enforced, whether or not they are available under the law in effect on the date hereof.

Section 4.3 Expenses of Exercising Rights Powers and Remedies. The reasonable expenses (including any reasonable receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees, environmental engineers' and/or consultants' fees, costs incurred for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree of foreclosure) of procuring all abstracts of title, continuations of abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies and commitments and extensions therefor, Torrens duplicate certificates of title, UCC and chattel lien searches, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any foreclosure action or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to any foreclosure decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property, and agent's compensation) incurred by Lender after and during the occurrence of any Event of Default and/or in pursuing the rights, powers and remedies contained in this Mortgage shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower, with interest thereon from the date incurred at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, and shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

Section 4.4 Restoration of Position. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Mortgage by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, and in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property subject to the lien hereof.

Section 4.5 Marshalling. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of all Persons which may claim under Borrower, hereby waives all requirements of law relating to the marshalling of assets, if any, which would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by Lender of its remedies for an Event of Default hereunder, absent this waiver. Lender shall not be required to sell or realize upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property before selling or realizing upon any other portion thereof.

Section 4.6 Waivers. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be implied from the conduct of the parties. Any such waiver must be in writing and must be signed by the party against which such waiver is

sought to be enforced. The waiver or release of any breach of the provisions set forth herein to be kept and performed shall not be a waiver or release of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. No receipt of partial payment after acceleration of any of the Obligations shall waive the acceleration. No payment by Borrower or receipt by Lender of a lesser amount than the full amount secured hereby shall be deemed to be other than on account of the sums due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lender may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Lender's right to recover the balance of such sums or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Mortgage. The consent by Lender to any matter or event requiring such consent shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent matter or event.

Section 4.7 Lender's Right to Cure Defaults. If Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the terms of the Loan Documents with respect to the procuring of insurance, the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges, the keeping of the Mortgaged Property in repair, or any other term contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may make advances to perform the same without releasing Borrower from any of the Obligations. Borrower agrees to repay upon demand all sums so advanced and all sums expended by Lender in connection with such performance, including without limitation attorneys' fees, with interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note from the dates such advances are made, and all sums so advanced and/or expenses incurred, with interest, shall be secured hereby, but no such advance and/or incurring of expense by Lender, shall be deemed to relieve Borrower from any default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or to release Borrower from any of the Obligations.

Section 4.8 Suits and Proceedings. Lender shall have the power and authority, upon prior notice to Borrower, to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Lender may deem advisable to (i) prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any act which may be unlawful or by any violation of this Mortgage, (ii) preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, or (iii) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if, in the sole opinion of Lender, the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Lender's interest.
