If Borrower elects by appropriate legal action to contest any Imposition, Borrower shall first deposit cash with Lender as a reserve in an amount which Lender reasonably determines is sufficient to pay the Imposition plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending the determination of the contest. If Borrower deposits this sum with Lender, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Imposition provided that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of the Imposition, or the sale or forfeiture of, the Property, and is prosecuted with due diligence and continuity.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Lender’s election to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Borrower is permitted by law (including, without limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and actually does, pay the Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition and (2) Borrower agrees in writing to pay or reimburse Lender in accordance with Section 11.07 for the payment of any such Imposition which becomes payable at any time when the Loan is outstanding.

In the event that deposits of Impositions and Premiums are required pursuant to this Section 2.05, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly deposits of all Impositions and Premiums, as applicable, on the same date the monthly installment is payable under the Note and in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual charges for these items as reasonably estimated by Lender until such time as Borrower has deposited an amount equal to the annual charges for these items. The deposits shall be held by Lender with interest being payable to Borrower and Lender may commingle the deposits with other funds of Lender. If Lender sells or assigns the Loan to an unaffiliated lender, the deposits shall thereafter be made into an interest bearing account at a mutually approved national bank.

(b) Borrower agrees to furnish Lender executed copies of all future Leases.

NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS
Section 15.01 Cross Default and Cross Collateralization. The Note, the Other Notes and the other Loan Documents and the Loan Facility Agreement are secured by, among other things, this Mortgage and the Other Mortgages (except as specifically set forth in certain Other Mortgages). The Loan may be accelerated in accordance with the provisions of in any of the Loan Documents and an Event of Default shall occur under this Mortgage upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Other Mortgages or the Loan Facility Agreement. In consequence of an Event of Default, Lender may accelerate the Loan and foreclose on or under any one or more of this Mortgage or the Other Mortgages or resort to any one or more of its other rights and remedies under the Other Mortgages or otherwise pursuant to applicable law. Except as specifically set forth in certain Other Mortgages, all of the properties of all kinds conveyed and/or mortgaged by the Other Mortgages are security for the Loan without allocation of any one or more of the parcels or portions thereof to any portion of the Loan less than the whole amount thereof, except for the sole purpose of paying mortgage registry tax under Minn. Stat. § 287.05. After application of proceeds to the Note and expenses and legal fees incident to the Note, Lender may allocate any excess proceeds received by Lender upon the exercise of its remedies and rights, including foreclosure, to the Loan, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine to be advisable. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, Lender may proceed, at the same or different times, to foreclose on or under any one or more of the Mortgage or the Other Mortgages by any proceedings appropriate in the state where any of the land lies, including, private sale, trustee’s sale, or exercise of power of sale if permitted, and no event of enforcement taking place in any state, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any pending judicial foreclosure, judgment or decree of foreclosure, judicial foreclosure sale, rents received, possession taken, deficiency judgment or decrees, or judgment taken on the Note, shall in any way stay, preclude or bar enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or the Other Mortgages in this state or any other state, and Lender may pursue any or all of its remedies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law until all obligations now or hereafter secured by any or all of the Loan Documents or the Other Mortgages have been paid or discharged in full. Additionally, subject to the requirements of applicable law, and without limitation of any other provision of this Mortgage, if this Mortgage is foreclosed and sale is made of the Property (or any part thereof which remains subject to this Mortgage) pursuant to foreclosure or other proceedings or actions, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided elsewhere in this Mortgage and after deducting all accrued general and special taxes and assessments) are not sufficient to pay the total amount then owing under the Loan Documents (herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Balance Owed”), then the Loan shall not be satisfied to the extent of the deficiency in such proceeds to pay the Balance Owed, but such Loan shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced by the Note (to the extent the Note is not paid in full from the proceeds of such sale) and, to the extent the Note is not paid in full from the proceeds of such sale, shall continue to be secured by all of the Other Mortgages. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, if Lender shall acquire the Property as a result of any such foreclosure sale (whether by bidding all or any portion of the Loan or otherwise), the proceeds of such sale shall not be deemed to include (and Borrower shall not be entitled to any benefit or credit on account of) proceeds of any subsequent sale of the Property by Lender, its successors and assigns. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Borrower further agrees that if any of the Other Mortgages are foreclosed and sale is made of any of the property subject to any Other Mortgages, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided for in the Other Mortgages and after deducting all accrued and general and special taxes and assessments) are not sufficient to pay the Loan and any amounts then owing under the Loan Documents, thereby creating a Balance Owed, then the Loan then outstanding shall not be satisfied to the extent of the deficiency in such proceeds to pay such Balance Owed, but the Loan shall continue in existence and shall continue to be secured by this Mortgage (to the extent the Note is not paid in full from the proceeds of such sale) and all of the Other Mortgages existing immediately prior to any such foreclosure, except such Other Mortgages foreclosed upon. No release of personal liability of any person whatsoever and no release of any portion of the property now or hereafter subject to the lien of this Mortgage or any of the Other Mortgages shall have any effect whatsoever by way of impairment or disturbance of the lien or priority of any of this Mortgage or any of the Other Mortgages or the unreleased properties encumbered by any of the Other Mortgages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage or the Other Mortgages on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 15.02 RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION. Borrower shall have the right to substitute different individually subdivided properties for all but not less than all of the Real Property pursuant to terms and conditions of Section 3.3 of the Loan Facility Agreement.
Section 15.03 PARTIAL RELEASE. Borrower shall have the right to release the Real Property from the lien of Mortgage pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.4 of the Loan Facility Agreement.
Section 15.04 STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS. A Minnesota rider is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit F (the “Minnesota Rider”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Mortgage, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Minnesota Rider and any other part of this Mortgage, the terms and provisions of the Minnesota Rider shall modify and supersede and shall govern and control over such other conflicting portion of this Mortgage.

(e) interest from time to time payable on any or all of the foregoing.
3. Minnesota Remedies. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at Lender’s election, exercise any of the following rights, remedies and recourses:
(a) Foreclosure and Sale. Foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceedings or by advertisement with full authority to sell the Property at public auction and convey the same to the purchaser in fee simple, all in accordance with and in the manner prescribed by law, and out of the proceeds arising from sale and foreclosure to retain the principal, the Prepayment Fee, and interest due on the Note and the Secured Indebtedness, together with all sums of money as Lender shall have expended or advanced pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to statute, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses of such foreclosure, including lawful attorneys’ fees with the balance, if any, due to be paid to the person entitled thereto by law.
(b) Receiver. As a matter of right, without notice and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower, or the existence of waste of the Property or adequacy of the security of the Property, and without giving bond, apply for the appointment of a receiver in accordance with the statutes and law made and provided for who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute or law, including without limitation the rights of receiver pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 576.01, as amended, and who shall from the date of its appointment through any period of redemption existing at law collect the Rents and Profits, manage the Property so as to prevent waste, execute leases within or beyond the period of receivership, pay all expenses for normal maintenance of the Property, and perform the terms of this Mortgage and apply the Rents and Profits to the payment of the expenses enumerated in Minn. Stat. Section 576.01, Subd. 2 in the priority mentioned therein and to all expenses for maintenance of the Property and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including attorneys’ fees, to the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness and as further provided in the Assignment of Leases executed by Borrower to Lender whether contained in this Mortgage or in a separate instrument. Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment.
(c) U.C.C. Exercise all rights, remedies and recourse available to a secured party under the U.C.C. (in addition to the rights available to a Lender of real property), including the right to proceed under the provisions of the U.C.C. governing default as to any collateral which may be included on the Property or which may be deemed non-realty in a foreclosure of this Mortgage or to proceed as to such collateral in accordance with the procedures and remedies available pursuant to a foreclosure of real estate.
4. Acknowledgment of Waiver of Hearing Before Sale. Borrower understands and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur, Lender has the right, inter alia, to foreclose this Mortgage by advertisement pursuant to Minn. Stat. Chapter 580, as hereafter amended, or pursuant to any similar or replacement statute hereafter enacted; that if Lender elects to foreclose by advertisement, it may cause the Property or any part thereof to be sold at public action; that notice of such sale must be published for six (6) successive weeks at least once a week in a newspaper of general circulation, and that no personal notice is required to be served upon Borrower. Borrower further understands that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may also elect its rights under the U.C.C. and take possession of the non-real estate items of the Property and dispose of the same by sale or otherwise in one or more parcels, provided that at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such disposition must be given, all as provided for by the U.C.C., as hereinafter amended or by any similar or replacement statute hereafter enacted. Borrower further understands that under the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Minnesota it may have the right to notice and hearing before the Property may be sold and that the procedure for foreclosure by advertisement described above does not insure that notice will be given to Borrower and neither said procedure for foreclosure by advertisement nor the UCC requires any hearing or other judicial proceeding. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE PROPERTY MAY BE FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT THE PERSONAL PROPERTY MAY BE DISPOSED OF PURSUANT TO THE U.C.C., ALL AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL; THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT THIS SECTION AND BORROWER’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WERE FULLY EXPLAINED BY SUCH COUNSEL AND THAT BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREBY AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH WAIVER.
5. Leases and Rents. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower’s revocable license to collect the Rents and Profits set forth in the Mortgage (and the Income as defined and set forth in the separate Assignment of Leases) executed by Borrower to Lender shall immediately cease and terminate. Upon or at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, including but not limited to failure of the Borrower to pay any of the items set forth in subparagraphs 5(c)(i) (v) below, or if any material representation or warranty herein proves to be untrue, then the Lender, without regard to waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of the Borrower, may declare all obligations immediately due and payable and may, at its option, without notice:
(i) In person or by agent, with or without taking possession of or entering the Property, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, give, or require the Borrower to give, notice to the tenants under the Leases authorizing and directing the tenants to pay all Rents and Profits directly to the Lender; collect all of the Rents and Profits; enforce the payment thereof and exercise all of the rights of the Borrower under the Leases and all of the rights of the Lender hereunder; and may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property, or any part thereof; may cancel, enforce or modify the Leases, and fix or modify Rents and Profits, and do any acts which the Lender deems proper to protect the security hereof, and/or
(ii) Whether or not foreclosure proceedings have commenced or a foreclosure sale has occurred, apply for appointment of a receiver in accordance with the statutes and law made and provided for, which receivership Borrower hereby consents to, who shall collect the Rents and Profits; manage the Property so to prevent waste; execute Leases within or beyond the period of receivership; perform the terms of this Mortgage and apply the Rents and Profits as hereinafter provided.
(b) The exercise of any of the foregoing rights or remedies and the application of the Rents and Profits pursuant to this Rider, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default (or notice of default) or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice nor in any way operate to prevent the Lender from pursuing any remedy which now or hereafter it may have under the terms and conditions of the Mortgage or the Note secured thereby or any other instruments securing the same. The rights and powers of the Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect both prior to and after any foreclosure of the 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 the 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 hereunder 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 under the terms of the Note, shall be a part of the sum required to be paid to redeem from any foreclosure sale. The rights under this Paragraph 5(b) shall in no way be dependent upon and shall apply without regard to whether the Property is in danger of being lost, materially injured or damaged or whether the Property is adequate to discharge the Secured Indebtedness.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, and specifically replacing contrary provisions in this Mortgage and in the Assignment of Leases, all Rents and Profits collected by Lender or the receiver each month following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied as follows:
(i) to payment of all reasonable fees of the receiver approved by the court;
(ii) to payment of all tenant security deposits then owing to tenants under any of the Leases pursuant to the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 504B.178;
(iii) to payment of all prior or current Impositions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or if this Mortgage or any other instrument relating to the obligations requires periodic escrow payments for such Impositions, to the escrow payments then due;
(iv) to payment of all Premiums then due, or if this Mortgage or any other instrument relating to the obligations requires periodic escrow payments for such Premiums, to the escrow payments then due;
(v) to payment of expenses incurred for normal maintenance of the Property;
(vi) if received prior to any foreclosure sale of the Property pursuant to this Mortgage, to Lender for payment of the Secured Indebtedness, but no such payment made after acceleration of the Secured Indebtedness shall affect such acceleration; and
(vii) if the Property shall be foreclosed and sold pursuant to a foreclosure sale, then:
(A) If the Lender is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, the Rents and Profits shall be paid to the Lender to be applied to the extent of any deficiency remaining after the sale, the balance to be retained by the Lender, and if the Property be redeemed by the Borrower or any other party entitled to redeem, to be applied as a credit against the redemption price with any remaining excess Rents and Profits to be paid to the Borrower, provided, if the Property not be redeemed, any remaining excess Rents and Profits to belong to the Lender, whether or not a deficiency exists; and
(B) If the Lender is not the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, the Rents and Profits shall be paid to the Lender to be applied first, to the extent of any deficiency remaining after the sale, the balance to be retained by the purchaser, and if the Property be redeemed by the Borrower or any other party entitled to redeem, to be applied as a credit against the redemption price with any remaining excess Rents and Profits to be paid to the Borrower, provided, if the Property not be redeemed any remaining excess Rents and Profits shall be paid first, to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale in an amount equal to the interest accrued upon the sale price pursuant to Minn. Stat. Section 580.23 or Section 581.10, then to the Lender to the extent of any deficiency remaining unpaid and the remainder to the purchaser.
The rights and powers of Lender and receivers under this Mortgage and the application of Rents and Profits under this Rider shall continue until expiration of the redemption period from any foreclosure sale, whether or not any deficiency remains after a foreclosure sale.
