                           guarantor) for the benefit of Mortgagee, when such
                           future advance or obligation is evidenced by a
                           writing which recites that it is secured by this
                           Mortgage; and

                  (f)      All modifications, extensions and renewals of any of
                           the obligations secured hereby, however evidenced,
                           including, without limitation: (i) modifications of
                           the required principal payment dates or interest
                           payment dates or both, as the case may be, deferring
                           or accelerating payment dates wholly or partly; or
                           (ii) modifications, extensions or renewals at a
                           different rate of interest whether or not in the case
                           of a note, the modification, extension or renewal is
                           evidenced by a new or additional promissory note or
                           notes.

         2.2      OBLIGATIONS. The term "obligations" is used herein in its
                  broadest and most comprehensive sense and shall be deemed to
                  include, without limitation, all interest and charges,
                  prepayment charges (if any), late charges and loan fees at any
                  time accruing or assessed on any of the Secured Obligations,
                  including, without limitation, any interest or other payment
                  obligations that would have accrued on the Secured Obligations
                  but for the application of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

         2.3      INCORPORATION. All terms of the Secured Obligations and the
                  documents evidencing such obligations are incorporated herein
                  by this reference. All persons who may have or acquire an
                  interest in the Subject Property shall be deemed to have
                  notice of the terms of the Secured Obligations and to have
                  notice, if provided therein, that: (a) the Notes or the Credit
                  Agreement may permit borrowing, repayment and re-borrowing so
                  that repayments shall not reduce the amounts of the Secured
                  Obligations; and (b) the rate of interest on one or more
                  Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

                    ARTICLE 3. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

         3.1      ASSIGNMENT. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee
                  all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in, to and under:
                  (a) all leases of the Subject Property or any portion thereof,
                  and all other agreements of any kind relating to the use or
                  occupancy of the Subject Property or any portion thereof,
                  whether now existing or entered into after the date hereof
                  ("Leases"); and (b) the rents, revenue, income, issues,
                  deposits and profits of the Subject Property, including,
                  without limitation, all amounts payable and all rights and
                  benefits accruing to Mortgagor under the Leases ("Payments").
                  The term "Leases" shall also include all guarantees of and
                  security for the lessees' performance thereunder, and all
                  amendments,

                                  Page 2 of 20



                                                             Loan No. 8079119402

                  extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are
                  permitted hereunder. This is a present and absolute
                  assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only, and
                  Mortgagee's right to the Leases and Payments is not contingent
                  upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Subject
                  Property.

         3.2      GRANT OF LICENSE. Mortgagee confers upon Mortgagor a license
                  ("License") to collect and retain the Payments as they become
                  due and payable, until the occurrence of a Default (as
                  hereinafter defined). Upon a Default, the License shall be
                  automatically revoked and Mortgagee may collect and apply the
                  Payments pursuant to Section 6.4 without notice and without
                  taking possession of the Subject Property. Mortgagor hereby
                  irrevocably authorizes and directs the lessees under the
                  Leases to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by
                  Mortgagee for the payment to Mortgagee of any rental or other
                  sums which may at any time become due under the Leases, or for
                  the performance of any of the lessees' undertakings under the
                  Leases, and the lessees shall have no right or duty to inquire
                  as to whether any Default has actually occurred or is then
                  existing hereunder. Mortgagor hereby relieves the lessees from
                  any liability to Mortgagor by reason of relying upon and
                  complying with any such notice or demand by Mortgagee.

         3.3      EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. The foregoing irrevocable assignment
                  shall not cause Mortgagee to be: (a) a mortgagee in
                  possession; (b) responsible or liable for the control, care,
                  management or repair of the Subject Property or for performing
                  any of the terms, agreements, undertakings, obligations,
                  representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the
                  Leases; or (c) responsible or liable for any waste committed
                  on the Subject Property by the lessees under any of the Leases
                  or any other parties; for any dangerous or defective condition
                  of the Subject Property; or for any negligence in the
                  management, upkeep, repair or control of the Subject Property
                  resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee,
                  employee, invitee or other person. Mortgagee shall not
                  directly or indirectly be liable to Mortgagor or any other
                  person as a consequence of: (i) the exercise or failure to
                  exercise by Mortgagee, or any of its employees, agents,
                  contractors or subcontractors, any of the rights, remedies or
                  powers granted to Mortgagee hereunder; or (ii) the failure or
                  refusal of Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation,
                  duty or liability of Mortgagor arising under the Leases.

         3.4      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Mortgagor represents and
                  warrants that: (a) the Schedule of Leases attached hereto as
                  Schedule 1 is, as of the date hereof, a true, accurate and
                  complete list of all Leases; (b) all existing Leases are in
                  full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with
                  their respective terms, and no breach or default, or event
                  which would constitute a breach or default after notice or the
                  passage of time, or both, exists under any existing Leases on
                  the part of any party; (c) no rent or other payment under any
                  existing Lease has been paid by any lessee for more than one
                  (1) month in advance; and (d) none of the lessor's interests
                  under any of the Leases has been transferred or assigned.

         3.5      COVENANTS. Mortgagor covenants and agrees at Mortgagor's sole
                  cost and expense to: (a) perform the obligations of lessor
                  contained in the Leases and enforce by all available remedies
                  performance by the lessees of the obligations of the lessees
                  contained in the Leases; (b) give Mortgagee prompt written
                  notice of any default which occurs with respect to any of the
                  Leases, whether the default be that of the lessee or of the
                  lessor; (c) exercise Mortgagor's best efforts to keep all
                  portions of the Subject Property that are capable of being
                  leased at all times at rentals not less than the fair market
                  rental value; (d) deliver to Mortgagee fully executed,
                  counterpart original(s) of each and every Lease if requested
                  to do so; and (e) execute and record such additional
                  assignments of any Lease or specific subordinations (or
                  subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreements
                  executed by the lessor and lessee) of any Lease to the
                  Mortgage, in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee, as
                  Mortgagee may request. Mortgagor shall not, without
                  Mortgagee's prior written consent or as otherwise permitted by
                  any provision of the Credit Agreement: (i) enter into any
                  Leases after the date thereof; (ii) execute any other
                  assignment relating to any of the Leases; (iii) discount any
                  rent or other sums due under the Leases or collect the same in
                  advance, other than to collect rentals one (1) month in
                  advance of the time when it becomes due; (iv) terminate,
                  modify or amend any of the terms of the Leases or in any
                  manner release or discharge the lessees from any obligations
                  thereunder; (v) consent to any assignment or subletting by any
                  lessee; or (vi) subordinate or agree to subordinate any of the
                  Leases to any other Mortgage or encumbrance. Any such
                  attempted action in violation of the provisions of this
                  Section 3.5 shall be null and void. Without in any way
                  limiting the requirement of Mortgagee's consent hereunder, any
                  sums received by Mortgagor in consideration of any termination
                  (or the release or discharge

                  of any lessee) modification or amendment of any Lease shall be
                  applied to reduce the outstanding Secured Obligations and any
                  such sums received by Mortgagor shall be held in trust by
                  Mortgagor for such purpose.

         3.6      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within thirty (30) days after written
                  request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee and
                  to any party designated by Mortgagee estoppel certificates
                  executed by Mortgagor and by each of the lessees, in
                  recordable form, certifying (if such be the case): (a) that
                  the foregoing assignment and the Leases are in full force and
                  effect; (b) the date of each lessee's most recent payment of
                  rent; (c) that there are no defenses or offsets outstanding,

                  (d) any other information reasonably requested by Mortgagee.

                  (c) Mortgagor's principal place of business is located at the
                  address shown in Section 7.10; and (d) Mortgagor's legal name
                  is exactly as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage and
                  all of Mortgagor's organizational documents or agreements
                  delivered to Mortgagee are complete and accurate in every
                  respect.

         4.3      COVENANTS. Mortgagor agrees: (a) to execute and deliver such
                  documents as Mortgagee deems necessary to create, perfect and
                  continue the security interests contemplated hereby; (b) not
                  to change its name, and as applicable, its chief executive
                  office, its principal residence or the jurisdiction in which
                  it is organized and/or registered without giving Mortgagee
                  prior written notice thereof; (c) to cooperate with Mortgagee
                  in perfecting all security interests granted herein and in

                  hereunder; and (d) that Mortgagee is authorized to file
                  financing statements in the name of Mortgagor to perfect

         4.4      RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. In addition to Mortgagee's rights as a
                  "Secured Party" under the UCC, Mortgagee may, but shall not be
                  obligated to, at any time without notice and at the expense of
                  Mortgagor: (a) give notice to any person of Mortgagee's rights

                  Collateral. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall
                  Mortgagee be deemed to have accepted any property other than
                  cash in satisfaction of any obligation of Mortgagor to
                  Mortgagee unless Mortgagee shall make an express written
                  election of said remedy under UCC Section 9-620, or other
                  applicable law.

         4.5      RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of a
                  Default (hereinafter defined) under this Mortgage, then in
                  addition to all of Mortgagee's rights as a "Secured Party"
                  under the UCC or otherwise at law:

                  (a)      Mortgagee may (i) upon written notice, require
                           Mortgagor to assemble any or all of the Collateral
                           and make it available to Mortgagee at a place
                           designated by Mortgagee; (ii) without prior notice,
                           enter upon the Subject Property or other place where
                           any of the Collateral may be located and take
                           possession of, collect, sell, lease, license and
                           dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and store
                           the same at locations acceptable to Mortgagee at
                           Mortgagor's expense; (iii) sell, assign and deliver
                           at any place or in any lawful manner all or any part
                           of the Collateral and bid and become the purchaser at
                           any such sales;

                  (b)      Mortgagee may, for the account of Mortgagor and at
                           Mortgagor's expense: (i) operate, use, consume, sell,
                           lease, license or dispose of the Collateral as
                           Mortgagee deems appropriate for the purpose of
                           performing any or all of the Secured Obligations;
                           (ii) enter into any agreement, compromise, or
                           settlement, including insurance claims, which
                           Mortgagee may deem desirable or proper with respect
                           to any of the Collateral; and (iii) endorse and
                           deliver evidences of title for, and receive, enforce
                           and collect by legal action or otherwise, all
                           indebtedness and obligations now or hereafter owing
                           to Mortgagor in connection with or on account of any
                           or all of the Collateral; and

                  (c)      In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Mortgagee may
                           disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet
                           enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any
                           disposition of any Collateral may be applied by
                           Mortgagee to the payment of expenses incurred by
                           Mortgagee in connection with the foregoing, including
                           reasonable attorneys' fees, and the balance of such
                           proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee toward the
                           payment of the Secured Obligations in such order of
                           application as Mortgagee may from time to time elect.

                           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Mortgagee
                           shall not be deemed to have accepted any property
                           other than cash in satisfaction of any obligation of
                           Mortgagor to Mortgagee unless Mortgagor shall make an
                           express written election of said remedy under UCC ss.
                           9-620, or other applicable law. Mortgagor agrees that
                           Mortgagee shall have no obligation to process or
                           prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

                                                             Loan No. 8079119402

         4.6      POWER OF ATTORNEY. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints
                  Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact (such agency being
                  coupled with an interest), and as such attorney-in-fact
                  Mortgagee may, without the obligation to do so, in Mortgagee's
                  name, or in the name of Mortgagor, prepare, execute and file
                  or record financing statements, continuation statements,
                  applications for registration and like papers necessary to
                  create, perfect or preserve any of Mortgagee's security
                  interests and rights in or to any of the Collateral, and, upon
                  a Default hereunder, take any other action required of
                  Mortgagor; provided, however, that Mortgagee as such
                  attorney-in-fact shall be accountable only for such funds as
                  are actually received by Mortgagee.

         4.7      POSSESSION AND USE OF COLLATERAL. Except as otherwise provided
                  in this Section or the other Loan Documents (as defined in the
                  Credit Agreement), so long as no Default exists under this
                  Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor may possess,
                  use, move, transfer or dispose of any of the Collateral in the
                  ordinary course of Mortgagor's business and in accordance with
                  the Credit Agreement.

                   ARTICLE 5. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES

         5.1      TITLE. Mortgagor represents and warrants that, except as
                  disclosed to Mortgagee in a writing which refers to this
                  warranty, Mortgagor lawfully holds and possesses fee simple
                  title to the Subject Property without limitation on the right
                  to encumber, and that this Mortgage is a first and prior lien
                  on the Subject Property.

         5.2      TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Subject to Mortgagor's rights to
                  contest payment of taxes as may be provided in the Credit
                  Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes,
                  assessments, levies and charges imposed by any public or
                  quasi-public authority or utility company which are or which
                  may become a lien upon or cause a loss in value of the Subject
                  Property or any interest therein. Mortgagor shall also pay
                  prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments, levies and
                  charges imposed by any public authority upon Mortgagee by
                  reason of its interest in any Secured Obligation or in the
                  Subject Property, or by reason of any payment made to
                  Mortgagee pursuant to any Secured Obligation; provided,
                  however, Mortgagor shall have no obligation to pay taxes which
                  may be imposed from time to time upon Mortgagee and which are
                  measured by and imposed upon Mortgagee's net income.

         5.3      TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUNDS. At any time following the
                  occurrence of a Default, at Mortgagee's option and upon its
                  demand, Mortgagor, shall, until all Secured Obligations have
                  been paid in full, pay to Mortgagee monthly, annually or as
                  otherwise directed by Mortgagee an amount estimated by
                  Mortgagee to be equal to: (a) all taxes, assessments, levies
                  and charges imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or
                  utility company which are or may become a lien upon the
                  Subject Property or Collateral and will become due for the tax
                  year during which such payment is so directed; and (b)
                  premiums for fire, hazard and insurance required or requested
                  pursuant to the Loan Documents when same are next due. If
                  Mortgagee determines that any amounts paid by Mortgagor are
                  insufficient for the payment in full of such taxes,
                  assessments, levies, charges and/or insurance premiums,
                  Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor of the increased amounts
                  required to pay all amounts when due, whereupon Mortgagor
                  shall pay to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days thereafter the
                  additional amount as stated in Mortgagee's notice. All sums so
                  paid shall not bear interest, except to the extent and in any
                  minimum amount required by law; and Mortgagee shall, unless
                  Mortgagor is otherwise in Default hereunder or under any Loan
                  Document, apply said funds to the payment of, or at the sole
                  option of Mortgagee release said funds to Mortgagor for the
                  application to and payment of, such sums, taxes, assessments,
                  levies, charges, and insurance premiums. Upon Default by
                  Mortgagor hereunder or under any Secured Obligation, Mortgagee
                  may apply all or any part of said sums to any Secured
                  Obligation and/or to cure such Default, in which event
                  Mortgagor shall be required to restore all amounts so applied,
                  as well as to cure any other events or conditions of Default
                  not cured by such application. Upon assignment of this
                  Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to assign all amounts
                  collected and in its possession to its assignee whereupon
                  Mortgagee shall be released from all liability with respect
                  thereto. Within ninety-five (95) days following full repayment
                  of the Secured Obligations (other than full repayment of the
                  Secured Obligations as a consequence of a foreclosure or
                  conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the liens and security

                           all awards of damages and all other compensation
                           payable directly or indirectly by reason of a
                           condemnation or proposed condemnation for public or

                           or not expressly required by Mortgagee to be
                           maintained by Mortgagor, including, but not limited
                           to, earthquake insurance and terrorism insurance, if
                           any) payable by reason of loss sustained to all or

                           (iv) all interest which may accrue on any of the

                           5.7(d), Mortgagee may at its discretion apply all or
                           any of the proceeds it receives to its expenses in
                           settling, prosecuting or defending any claim and may
                           apply the balance to the Secured Obligations in any
                           order acceptable to Mortgagee, and/or Mortgagee may
                           release all or any part of the proceeds to Mortgagor
                           upon any conditions Mortgagee may impose. Mortgagee

                           settle and collect all claims and awards assigned to
                           Mortgagee; provided, however, in no event shall
                           Mortgagee be responsible for any failure to collect
                           any claim or award, regardless of the cause of the
                           failure, including, without limitation, any
                           malfeasance or nonfeasance by Mortgagee or its
                           employees or agents.

                  (b)      At its sole option, Mortgagee may permit insurance or
                           condemnation proceeds held by Mortgagee to be used
                           for repair or restoration but may condition such
                           application upon reasonable conditions, including,
                           without limitation: (i) the deposit with Mortgagee of
                           such additional funds which Mortgagee determines are
                           needed to pay all costs of the repair or restoration,
                           (including, without limitation, taxes, financing
                           charges, insurance and rent during the repair
                           period); (ii) the establishment of an arrangement for
                           lien releases and disbursement of funds acceptable to
                           Mortgagee; (iii) the delivery to Mortgagee of plans
                           and specifications for the work, a contract for the
                           work signed by a contractor acceptable to Mortgagee,
                           a cost breakdown for the work and a payment and
                           performance bond for the work, all of which shall be
                           acceptable to Mortgagee; and (iv) the delivery to
                           Mortgagee of evidence acceptable to Mortgagee (aa)
                           that after completion of the work the income from the
                           Subject Property will be sufficient to pay all
                           expenses and debt service for the Subject Property;
                           (bb) of the continuation of Leases acceptable to and
                           required by Mortgagee; (cc) that upon completion of
                           the work, the size, capacity and total value of the
                           Subject Property will be at least as great as it was
                           before the damage or condemnation occurred; (dd) that
                           there has been no material adverse change in the
                           financial condition or credit of Mortgagor since the
                           date of this Mortgage; and (ee) of the satisfaction
                           of any additional conditions that Mortgagee may
                           reasonably establish to protect its security.
                           Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that the conditions
                           described above are reasonable, and, if such
                           conditions have not been satisfied within thirty (30)
                           days of receipt by Mortgagee of such insurance or
                           condemnation proceeds, then Mortgagee may apply such
                           insurance or condemnation proceeds to pay the Secured
                           Obligations in such order and amounts as Mortgagee in
                           its sole discretion may choose.

                           contractors and other appropriate persons.

                  (c)      To commence and maintain an action or actions in any
                           court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this
                           instrument as a mortgage or to obtain specific
                           enforcement of the covenants of Mortgagor hereunder,
                           and Mortgagor agrees that such covenants shall be
                           specifically enforceable by injunction or any other
                           appropriate equitable remedy and that for the
                           purposes of any suit brought under this subparagraph,
                           Mortgagor waives the defense of laches and any
                           applicable statute of limitations.

                  (d)      To the fullest extent permitted by law, to seek
                           non-judicial foreclosure pursuant to Ark. Code Ann.
                           Section 18-50-101, et seq.

                  (e)      To apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for and
                           obtain appointment of a receiver of the Subject
                           Property as a matter of strict right and without
                           regard to the adequacy of the security for the
                           repayment of the Secured Obligations, the existence
                           of a declaration that the Secured Obligations are
                           immediately due and payable, or the filing of a
                           notice of default, and Mortgagor hereby consents to
                           such appointment.

                  (f)      To enter upon, possess, manage and operate the
                           Subject Property or any part thereof, to take and
                           possess all documents, books, records, papers and
                           accounts of Mortgagor or the then owner of the
                           Subject Property, to make, terminate, enforce or
                           modify Leases of the Subject Property upon such terms
                           and conditions as Mortgagee deems proper, to make
                           repairs, alterations and improvements to the Subject
                           Property as necessary, in Mortgagee's sole judgment,
                           to protect or enhance the security hereof.

                  (g)      To give such notice of such Default and of its
                           election to cause the Subject Property to be sold as
                           may be required by law or as may be necessary to
                           cause the Mortgagee to exercise the power of sale
                           granted herein. As a condition precedent to any such
                           sale, Mortgagee shall give and record such notice as
                           the law then requires. When the minimum period of
                           time required by law after such notice has elapsed,
                           Mortgagee, without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor
                           except as required by law, shall sell the Subject
                           Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in
                           the notice of sale, at one or several sales, either
                           as a whole or in separate parcels and in such manner
                           and order, as deemed

                                                             Loan No. 8079119402

                           advisable by Mortgagee, or by Mortgagor to the extent
                           required by law, at public auction to the highest
                           bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United
                           States, payable at time of sale. Except as required
                           by law, neither Mortgagor nor any other person or
                           entity other than Mortgagee shall have the right to
                           direct the order in which the Subject Property is
                           sold. Subject to requirements and limits imposed by
                           law, Mortgagee may from time to time postpone sale of
                           all or any portion of the Subject Property by public
                           announcement at such time and place of sale.
                           Mortgagee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale
                           a deed conveying the Subject Property or portion
                           thereof so sold, but without any covenant or
                           warranty, express or implied. The recitals in the
                           deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
                           proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person,
                           including Mortgagor or Mortgagee may purchase at the
                           sale. Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any right of
                           redemption, including any rights under the Act passed
                           by the Arkansas General Assembly on May 8, 1899, and
                           all acts amendatory or in replacement thereof or
                           supplemental thereto.

                  (h)      To resort to and realize upon the security hereunder
                           and any other security now or later held by Mortgagee
                           concurrently or successively and in one or several
                           consolidated or independent judicial actions or
                           lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both, and
                           to apply the proceeds received upon the Secured
                           Obligations all in such order and manner as Mortgagee
                           determines in its sole discretion.

                  (i)      Upon sale of the Subject Property at any judicial or
                           non-judicial foreclosure, Mortgagee may credit bid
                           (as determined by Mortgagee in its sole and absolute
                           discretion) all or any portion of the Secured
                           Obligations. In determining such credit bid,
                           Mortgagee may, but is not obligated to, take into
                           account all or any of the following: (i) appraisals
                           of the Subject Property as such appraisals may be
                           discounted or adjusted by Mortgagee in its sole and
                           absolute underwriting discretion; (ii) expenses and
                           costs incurred by Mortgagee with respect to the
                           Subject Property prior to foreclosure; (iii) expenses
                           and costs which Mortgagee anticipates will be
                           incurred with respect to the Subject Property after
                           foreclosure, but prior to resale, including, without
                           limitation, costs of structural reports and other due
                           diligence, costs to carry the Subject Property prior
                           to resale, costs of resale (e.g. commissions,
                           attorneys' fees, and taxes), costs of any hazardous
                           materials clean-up and monitoring, costs of deferred
                           maintenance, repair, refurbishment and retrofit,
                           costs of defending or settling litigation affecting
                           the Subject Property, and lost opportunity costs (if
                           any), including the time value of money during any
                           anticipated holding period by Mortgagee; (iv)
                           declining trends in real property values generally
                           and with respect to properties similar to the Subject
                           Property; (v) anticipated discounts upon resale of
                           the Subject Property as a distressed or foreclosed
                           property; (vi) the fact of additional collateral (if
                           any), for the Secured Obligations; and (vii) such
                           other factors or matters that Mortgagee (in its sole
                           and absolute discretion) deems appropriate. In regard
                           to the above, Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that:
                           (w) Mortgagee is not required to use any or all of
                           the foregoing factors to determine the amount of its
                           credit bid; (x) this Section does not impose upon
                           Mortgagee any additional obligations that are not
                           imposed by law at the time the credit bid is made;
                           (y) the amount of Mortgagee's credit bid need not
                           have any relation to any loan-to-value ratios
                           specified in the Loan Documents or previously
                           discussed between Mortgagor and Mortgagee; and (z)
                           Mortgagee's credit bid may be (at Mortgagee's sole
                           and absolute discretion) higher or lower than any
                           appraised value of the Subject Property.

                  (j)      Upon the completion of any foreclosure sale of all or
                           a portion of the Subject Property, commence an action
                           to recover any of the Secured Obligations that
                           remains unpaid or unsatisfied.

         6.3      APPLICATION OF FORECLOSURE SALE PROCEEDS. Except as may be
                  otherwise required by applicable law, after deducting all
                  costs, fees and expenses including, without limitation, cost
                  of evidence of title and attorneys' fees in connection with
                  sale and costs and expenses of sale and of any judicial
                  proceeding wherein such sale may be made, all proceeds of any
                  foreclosure sale shall be applied: (a) to payment of all sums
                  expended by Mortgagee under the terms hereof and not then
                  repaid, with accrued interest at four percent (4%) above the
                  Prime Rate in effect from time to time; (b) to payment of all
                  other Secured Obligations; and (c) the remainder, if any, to
                  the person or persons legally entitled thereto. As used
                  herein, the term "Prime Rate" means at any time the rate of
                  interest most recently announced within Wells Fargo Bank,
                  National Association ("WFB") at its principal office, as its
                  Prime Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one
                  of WFB's base rates and serves as the basis upon which
                  effective rates of interest

                                                             Loan No. 8079119402

                  are calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and
                  is evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement
                  in such internal publication or publications as WFB may
                  designate.

         6.4      APPLICATION OF OTHER SUMS. All sums received by Mortgagee
                  under Section 6.2 or Section 3.2, less all costs and expenses
                  incurred by Mortgagee or any receiver under Section 6.2 or
                  Section 3.2, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
                  shall be applied in payment of the Secured Obligations in such
                  order as Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion;
                  provided, however, Mortgagee shall have no liability for funds
                  not actually received by Mortgagee.

         6.5      NO CURE OR WAIVER. Neither Mortgagee's nor any receiver's
                  entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the
                  Subject Property and Collateral, nor any collection of rents,
                  issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or
                  damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or
                  other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any
                  Secured Obligation, nor the exercise or failure to exercise of
                  any other right or remedy by Mortgagee or any receiver shall
                  cure or waive any breach, Default or notice of default under
                  this Mortgage, or nullify the effect of any notice of default
                  or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been
                  paid and performed and Mortgagor has cured all other
                  defaults), or impair the status of the security, or prejudice
                  Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be
                  construed as an affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease
                  or option or a subordination of the lien of or security
                  interests created by this Mortgage.

         6.6      PAYMENT OF COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. Mortgagor
                  agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand all
                  costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to Section
                  6.2 (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys'
                  fees, whether incurred in litigation or not) with interest
                  from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid at
                  the rate of interest then applicable to the principal balance
                  of the Notes as specified therein. In the event of any legal
                  proceedings, court costs and attorneys' fees shall be set by
                  the court and not by jury and shall be included in any
                  judgment obtained by Mortgagee.

         6.7      POWER TO FILE NOTICES AND CURE DEFAULTS. Mortgagor hereby
                  irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns,
                  as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an
                  interest, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of
                  completion, cessation of labor, or any other notices that
                  Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee's interest,
                  (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of
                  the lien of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of
                  foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment or
                  further assurance with respect to the Subject Property and
                  Collateral, Leases and Payments in favor of the grantee of any
                  such deed, as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose,
                  (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing
                  statements, continuation statements, applications for
                  registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or
                  preserve Mortgagee's security interests and rights in or to
                  any of the Subject Property and Collateral, and (d) upon the
                  occurrence of an event, act or omission which, with notice or
                  passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, Mortgagee
                  may perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; provided,
                  however, that: (i) Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall
                  only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by
                  Mortgagee; and (ii) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor
                  or any other person or entity for any failure to act (whether
                  such failure constitutes negligence) by Mortgagee under this
                  Section.

         6.8      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee
                  provided hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to all
                  rights and remedies provided by applicable law (including
                  specifically that of foreclosure of this instrument as though
                  it were a mortgage) or in any other agreements between
                  Mortgagor and Mortgagee. No failure on the part of Mortgagee
                  to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any
                  Default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the
                  occurrence of any other or subsequent Default. No delay on the
                  part of Mortgagee in exercising any such rights shall be
                  construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time
                  while that Default is continuing. Mortgagee may enforce any
                  one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or
                  concurrently. By accepting payment or performance of any of
                  the Secured Obligations after its due date, Mortgagee shall

                  acquiring any other estate in, or any other lien on, the

                  writing.

         7.3      OBLIGATIONS OF MORTGAGOR, JOINT AND SEVERAL. If more than one

                  Obligation ("Other Property") marshaled upon any foreclosure
                  of the lien of this Mortgage or on a foreclosure of any other
                  lien or security interest against any security for any of the
                  Secured Obligations. Mortgagee shall have the right to sell,
                  and any court in which foreclosure proceedings may be brought
                  shall have the right to order a sale of, the Subject Property
                  and any or all of the Collateral or Other Property as a whole
                  or in separate parcels, in any order that Mortgagee may
                  designate.

         7.5      RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. When the identity of the parties or
                  other circumstances make it appropriate the masculine gender
                  includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number

                  counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without
                  impairing the legal effect of the signatures or
                  acknowledgments thereon and thereafter attached to another
                  counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it
                  additional signature or acknowledgment pages.
