As further ------------------------------------------------ security for the indebtedness, Mortgagor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally sell, assign, transfer and set over unto Mortgagee and Mortgagee's successors and assigns all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all leases now existing or hereafter entered into by Mortgagor and demising the whole or any portion of the Property, together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any guarantees of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and does hereby further absolutely and unconditionally sell, assign, transfer and set over unto Mortgagee and Mortgagee's successors and assigns all of the rents, issues, profits, royalties, bonuses, income, receipts and revenues of the Property (collectively, "Rents"). This assignment shall continue in effect until the indebtedness secured hereby is paid and/or performed; provided, however, that until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Article II hereof), Mortgagor shall be permitted to collect all Rents. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the following rights: (i) collect, in the name of Mortgagor or in Mortgagee's own name, as assignee hereunder, all Rents thereafter accruing and becoming payable; (ii) receive from Mortgagor upon demand all original leases in Mortgagor's possession or control; (iii) enter the Property and assume the management and operation thereof and, in connection therewith, perform all acts which Mortgagor was able to perform including, but not limited to, the right to effect new leases, to cancel, surrender, amend and renew existing leases, and to make concessions to tenants. Mortgagor will facilitate in all reasonable ways Mortgagee's collection of the Rents and will, upon written request by Mortgagee, execute a written notice to each tenant directing the tenant to pay Rent to Mortgagee. Without the written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not have the right to cancel, abridge or amend materially any lease or to accept prepayments of Rent for a period of more than one (1) month in advance. Mortgagor will (i) give prompt notice to Mortgagee of any notice received by Mortgagor of default by the lessor thereunder, together with a complete copy of any such notice; and (ii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance or observance of each and every term, covenant and provision of any lease to be performed or observed by the lessee thereunder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor will pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee or to any receiver appointed to collect said Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Mortgagor and upon default in any such payment, will vacate and surrender possession of such part of the Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Mortgagee to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord to a tenant or to impose any liability as a result of the exercise of the option to collect Rents, by virtue of a default, and it is agreed that the collection or participation therein shall be as agent only for the Mortgagor and not as a mortgagee in possession. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Mortgagee or make Mortgagee responsible or liable for any negligence in the management, operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or injury or death to any party or impose any obligation on Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation under any lease. Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Mortgagee from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may incur under any lease or by reason of assignment thereof and from any claims or demands which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligation on its part to perform any of the terms of said lease. Mortgagor warrants that there are no outstanding assignments or pledges of any Rents, and there are no existing defaults under the provisions of any of the existing leases and that the tenants have no defenses, setoffs or counterclaims against Mortgagor under the existing leases. 1.8 Environmental Matters. 1.8.1 Definitions.

Mortgagee and Mortgagor recognize and agree that the provisions of this Mortgage, the Note, and the other instruments executed in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement may be modified by them or their successors or assigns at any time before or after default (which modification may involve in creasing the rate of interest in the Note, agreeing that other charges should be paid, or modifying any other provision in any such instruments). Mortgagee may extend the time of payment, may agree to alter the terms of payment of the indebtedness, and may grant partial releases of any portion of the property included herein.

Mortgagor agrees that it shall not sell, assign, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral without Mortgagee's prior written consent except in the ordinary course of business of Mortgagor or if immediately replaced by property of a similar kind and quality. Mortgagor agrees to keep the Collateral in good condition and repair and to keep the Collateral insured against all loss by theft, fire or other casualty, to the full insurable value of the Collateral. Mortgage shall execute one or more financing statements in forms satisfactory to Mortgagee and will take such other action as may be necessary or desirable from time to time to perfect, evidence and continue the security interest of Mortgagee in the Collateral.

Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Mortgagee may, at its sole and absolute discretion, exercise any one or more of the following remedies: (a) immediately take possession, with or without legal process, of any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found, using self-help to do so, and for that purpose Mortgagee, as principal or as agent of Mortgagor, may enter upon the Property or any other location upon which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom, without such entry constituting a breach of the peace. Mortgagee may also require Mortgagor to assemble the Collateral and deliver it, at Mortgagor's expense, to a place designated by Mortgagee. Mortgagor waives all claims for damages due to, arising from or connected with any such taking; or (b) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at public or private sale in the county where it is located, with or without having the Collateral physically present at the place of sale, on terms and in such lawful manner as Mortgagee may determine and as are commercially reasonable.

Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
