contract, bond, lease or other documents or otherwise impose any
obligation upon the Trustee, except that the Trustee shall be

profits, proceeds and cash collateral, and any of the aforesaid
rights with respect thereto and to the contracts, bonds, leases and
other documents evidencing the same, is intended to be and is an
absolute present assignment from the Company to the Trustee and not

with the Indenture, the Company shall have the right and license to

rights or remedies referred to or set forth herein. In addition,
upon such an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly pay to the
Trustee (i) all rent prepayments and security or other deposits paid
to the Company pursuant to any Space Leases and (ii) all charges for
services or facilities or for escalations which were paid pursuant
to any Space Leases to the extent allocable to any period from and
after such Event of Default and any such sums received by the
Trustee shall be applied by the Trustee in accordance with Section
6.10 of the Indenture.
(d) If the Company is not required to surrender possession of
the Mortgaged Property hereunder in the event of any such Event of
Default which has not been so waived, the Company will pay monthly

same, the income, profits or proceeds received by the Company under
any of the Space Leases.
(e) The Company will upon the Trustee's request execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, in form approved by the
Trustee, one or more general or specific assignments of the lessor's

foregoing provisions). The Company will, on demand, pay to the
Trustee, or reimburse the Trustee for the payment of, all costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation or recording of
any such assignment.

lessor's obligations under any Space Lease, (ii) enforce the

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 5.1 Events of Default. Each of the following shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder:
(a) the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined in
Section 6.1 of the Indenture; or
(b) the failure of the Company to observe and perform any
covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or
performed in this Shore Mortgage (other than an occurrence which may
sooner constitute an "Event of Default" under the Indenture)
including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Article I
herein for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to
the Company by the Trustee, unless the Trustee agrees in writing to
an extension of such time prior to its expiration.
Section 5.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
all Secured Obligations, at the option of the Trustee, shall be accelerated and
become immediately due and payable upon notice to the Company. The outstanding
principal amount and the interest accrued thereon of the Secured Obligations
shall be due and payable without presentment, demand or further notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company. The Company will
pay to the Trustee the entire Secured Obligations or portions thereof, as
applicable, and to the extent permitted by law, the premiums and penalties, if
any, provided in this Shore Mortgage and each other Transaction Document, as
applicable, and such payment shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.10 of
the Indenture.
In the event of any Event of Default, whether or not an acceleration
shall occur, the Trustee shall have the right to proceed to protect and enforce
its rights by one or more of the following remedies:
(a) THE TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING SUIT either for
damages, specific performance of any agreement contained in any
Transaction Document, or for the foreclosure of this Shore Mortgage,
or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy.
Execution Copy -22-
(b) THE TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN A RECEIVER at
any time after an Event of Default, whether or not an action for
foreclosure has been commenced. Any court having jurisdiction shall
at the request of the Trustee following an Event of Default appoint
a receiver to take immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property
and to rent or operate the same as he may deem best for the interest
of all parties concerned, and such receiver shall be liable to
account to the Company only for the net profits, after application
of rents, issues and profits upon the costs and expenses of the
receivership and upon the Secured Obligations.
The Trustee shall have the right, at any time 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 ("Additional Interest")
at the per annum rate equal to the interest rate then borne by the
Notes (the "Additional Interest Rate"), shall be secured hereby, or
if advanced during the period of redemption shall be a part of the
sum required to be paid to redeem from the sale.
(c) THE TRUSTEE 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, the Trustee
may enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and manage
and operate the same and take any action which, in the Trustee's
judgment, is necessary or proper to collect the Rents and to
conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property. The Trustee may also
take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all of the
Security Interests 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
Shore Mortgage. The Trustee shall not be liable to account to the
Company for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to account
for any Rents actually received by the Trustee. Enforcement hereof
shall not cause the Trustee to be deemed a Trustee in possession
unless the Trustee elects in writing to be a Trustee in possession.
(d) THE TRUSTEE 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
the Trustee's judgment, is necessary or proper to conserve the value
of the Mortgaged Property.
(e) THE TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
PROVIDED IN THE IOWA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, Iowa Code Chapter 554,
including the right to proceed under the Iowa Uniform Commercial
Code provisions governing default as to any Security Interests
Execution Copy -23-
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 the Trustee should elect to proceed separately
as to such Security Interests Property, the Company agrees to make
such Security Interests Property available to the Trustee at a place
or places acceptable to the Trustee, and if any notification of
intended disposition of any of such Security Interests 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.
(f) THE TRUSTEE 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 the Company, its creditors or its
property, for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under
the Secured Obligations, this Shore Mortgage and any other
instrument securing the Secured Obligations, at the date of the
institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts
which may become due and payable by the Company 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 the Trustee 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. The Trustee 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 5.3 Expenses of Exercising Rights, Powers and Remedies. The
reasonable expense (including any receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, appraisers'
fees, environmental engineers' and/or consultants' fees, costs incurred for
documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs,

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 the Trustee 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 the
Trustee after the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Shore Mortgage
and/or in pursuing the rights, powers and remedies contained in this Shore
Mortgage shall be immediately due and payable by the Company, with interest
thereon at the Additional Interest Rate, and shall be added to the indebtedness
secured by this Shore Mortgage.
Execution Copy -24-
Section 5.4 Restoration of Position. In case the Trustee shall have
proceeded to enforce any right under this Shore 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, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property subject to
the lien hereof.
Section 5.5 Marshalling. The Company, for itself and on behalf of
all persons, parties and entities which may claim under the Company, hereby
waives all requirements of law relating to the marshalling of assets, if any,
which would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by the Trustee of
its remedies for an Event of Default hereunder, absent this waiver. The Trustee
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 5.6 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 Secured Obligations shall waive the
acceleration. No payment by the Company or receipt by the Trustee 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 the Trustee may accept any check or payment
without prejudice to the Trustee's right to recover the balance of such sums or
to pursue any other remedy provided in this Shore Mortgage. The consent by the
Trustee 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 5.7 The Trustee's Right to Cure Defaults. If the Company
shall fail to comply with any of the terms hereof with respect to the procuring
of insurance, the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges, the keeping
of the Mortgaged Property in repair, the payment and satisfaction of Liens and
encumbrances against the Mortgaged Property, the payment or performance of the
Leases, the payment of any other sum or deposit required under this Shore
Mortgage, or any other term herein contained, the Trustee may make advances or
take other actions to perform the same without releasing the Company from any
Secured Obligations and may enter upon the Mortgaged Property for any such
purpose and take all such action thereon as the Trustee or any of its duly
appointed agents may deem necessary or appropriate therefor. The Company agrees
to repay upon demand all sums so advanced and all sums expended by the Trustee
in connection with such performance, including without limitation attorneys'
fees, with Additional Interest at the Additional Interest Rate from the dates
such advances are made, and all sums so advanced and/or expenses incurred, with
Additional Interest at the Additional Interest Rate, shall be secured hereby as
Secured Obligations, but no such
Execution Copy -25-
advance and/or incurring of expense by the Trustee, shall be deemed to relieve
the Company from any default hereunder, or to release the Company from any
Secured Obligations. The Trustee shall not be bound to inquire into the validity
of any Imposition or lien which the Company fails to pay as and when required by
this Shore Mortgage and which the Company does not contest in strict accordance
with the terms of this Shore Mortgage.
Section 5.8 Suits and Proceedings. The Trustee shall have the power
and authority, upon prior notice to the Company to institute and maintain any
suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem advisable to (i) prevent any
impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any
violation of this Shore 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 the Trustee,
the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair
the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the Trustee's interest.
Section 5.9 Waiver of Redemption Rights; Alternative Foreclosure
Procedures. It is agreed that if this Shore Mortgage covers any parcel of less
than ten (10) acres of land, and in the event of the foreclosure of this Shore
Mortgage and sale of the property by sheriff's sale in such foreclosure
proceedings, the time of one (1) year for redemption from said sale provided by
the statutes of the State of Iowa with respect to such parcel shall be reduced
to six (6) months provided the Trustee in such action files an election to waive
any deficiency judgment against the Company which may arise out of the
foreclosure proceedings; all to be consistent with the provisions of Chapter 628
of the Iowa Code.
It is further agreed that the period of redemption after a
foreclosure of this Shore Mortgage shall be reduced to sixty (60) days if all of
the three following contingencies develop with respect to any parcel of real
estate included in the Mortgaged Property: (1) the real estate is less than ten
(10) acres in size; (2) the court finds affirmatively that the said real estate
has been abandoned by the owners and those persons personally liable under this
Shore Mortgage at the time of such foreclosure; and (3) the Trustee in such
action files an election to waive any deficiency judgment against the Company or
its successor in interest in such action. Entry of appearance by pleading or
docket entry by or on behalf of the Company shall create a presumption that the
property is not abandoned. Any such redemption period shall be consistent with
all of the provisions of Chapter 628 of the Code of Iowa.
This Section shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect any
other redemption provisions contained in Chapter 628 of the Iowa Code. This
Section also shall not be construed to limit the Trustee's right to elect
foreclosure without redemption or to elect foreclosure by nonjudicial procedure
as set forth in Chapters 654 and 655A of the Iowa Code. The Company agrees that,
in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage, under any provision of Iowa law,
the Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession and use of the Mortgaged
Property during any redemption period.
