Revolving Notes of Mortgagor aggregating up to $85,000,000, payable to the order
of the respective Lender named thereon and maturing in no event later than
December 31, 2004 (the "Termination Date") and bearing interest thereon at the

notes and any and all promissory notes issued in renewal thereof or in
substitution or replacement therefor being hereinafter referred to collectively
as the "Revolving Notes" and individually as a "Revolving Note") and (ii) a
swing line (the "Swing Line"), with advances under the Swing Line, when combined

obligations and liabilities which this Mortgage secures pursuant to any of its
terms, and (v) the performance and observance of the covenants and agreements
contained in this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Notes and any other

conditions applicable thereto (all of such indebtedness, obligations, agreements
and liabilities described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above being

privileges described in Granting Clauses I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII below,

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Premises and the properties, rights

pledged and assigned, and in which a security interest is granted, or intended
so to be, unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, forever; provided,
however, that this Mortgage is upon the express condition that if the principal
of and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full and all other indebtedness
hereby secured shall be fully paid and performed, all commitments contained in

Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, then this Mortgage and the estate and
rights hereby granted shall cease, determine and be void and this Mortgage shall
be released by Mortgagee upon the written request and at the expense of
Mortgagor, otherwise to remain in full force and effect.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the indebtedness hereby
secured will in no event exceed two hundred percent (200%) of (i) the total face
amount of the Notes plus (ii) the total interest which may hereafter accrue
under the Notes on such face amount plus (iii) any fees, costs or expenses which
may be payable hereunder.
Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
1. Payment of the Indebtedness. The indebtedness hereby secured
will be promptly paid as and when the same becomes due.
2. Further Assurances. Mortgagor will execute and deliver such
further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary or proper to
carry out more effectively the purpose of this Mortgage and, without limiting
the foregoing, to make subject to the lien hereof any property agreed to be
subjected hereto or covered by the Granting Clauses hereof or intended so to be.
3. Ownership of Mortgaged Premises. Mortgagor covenants and
warrants that it is lawfully seized of and has good and marketable title to the
Mortgaged Premises free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances
whatever except those exceptions to title listed on Schedule II attached hereto
(the "Permitted Exceptions") and Mortgagor has good right, full power and
authority to convey, transfer and mortgage the same to Mortgagee for the uses
and purposes set
-5-
forth in this Mortgage; and Mortgagor will warrant and forever defend the title
to the Mortgaged Premises subject to the Permitted Exceptions against all claims
and demands whatsoever.
4. Possession. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, Mortgagor shall be suffered and permitted to remain in
full possession, enjoyment and control of the Mortgaged Premises, subject always
to the observance and performance of the terms of this Mortgage.
5. Payment of Taxes. Mortgagor shall pay before any penalty
attaches, all general taxes and all special taxes, special assessments, water,
drainage and sewer charges and all other charges of any kind whatsoever,
ordinary or extraordinary, which may be levied, assessed, imposed or charged on
or against the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof and which, if unpaid,
might by law become a lien or charge upon the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof, and shall, upon written request, exhibit to Mortgagee official receipts
evidencing such payments, except that, unless and until foreclosure, distraint,
sale or other similar proceedings shall have been commenced, no such charge or
claim need be paid if being contested (except to the extent any full or partial
payment shall be required by law), after notice to Mortgagee, by appropriate
proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or the sale or
forfeiture of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same,
conducted in good faith and with due diligence and if Mortgagor shall have
furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the proceedings or
requested by Mortgagee.
6. Payment of Taxes on Notes, Letters of Credit, Mortgage or
Interest of Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees that if any tax, assessment or
imposition upon this Mortgage or the indebtedness hereby secured or the Notes or
any of the Letters of Credit or the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged
Premises or upon Mortgagee by reason of or as a holder of any of the foregoing
(including, without limitation, corporate privilege, franchise and excise taxes,
but excepting therefrom any income tax on interest payments on the principal
portion of the indebtedness hereby secured imposed by the United States or any
state) is levied, assessed or charged, then, unless all such taxes are paid by
Mortgagor to, for or on behalf of Mortgagee as they become due and payable
(which Mortgagor agrees to do within three (3) days after written notice from
Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law), or Mortgagee is reimbursed for any
such sum advanced by Mortgagee, all sums hereby secured shall become immediately
due and payable, at the option of Mortgagee upon thirty (30) days' notice to
Mortgagor, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any law heretofore or
hereafter enacted, including any provision thereof forbidding Mortgagor from
making any such payment. Mortgagor agrees to exhibit to Mortgagee, upon request,
official receipts showing payment of all taxes and charges which Mortgagor is
required to pay hereunder.
7. Recordation and Payment of Taxes and Expenses Incident
Thereto. Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, all mortgages supplemental hereto
and any financing statement or other notice of a security interest required by
Mortgagee at all times to be kept, recorded and filed at its own expense in such
manner and in such places as may be required by law for the recording and filing
or for the rerecording and refiling of a mortgage, security interest, assignment
or other lien or charge upon the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, in
order fully to preserve and protect the rights of Mortgagee hereunder and,
without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor will pay or
-6-
reimburse Mortgagee for the payment of any and all taxes, fees or other charges
incurred in connection with any such recordation or rerecordation, including any
documentary stamp tax, intangibles tax or tax imposed upon the privilege of
having this instrument or any instrument issued pursuant hereto recorded.
8. Insurance. Mortgagor will, at its expense, keep all buildings,
improvements, equipment and other property now or hereafter constituting part of
the Mortgaged Premises insured against loss or damage by fire, lightning,
windstorm, explosion and such other risks as are usually included under extended
coverage policies, or which are usually insured against by owners of like
property, in amount sufficient to prevent Mortgagor or Mortgagee from becoming a
co-insurer of any partial loss under applicable policies and in any event not
less than the then full insurable value (actual replacement value without
deduction for physical depreciation) thereof, as determined at the request of
Mortgagee and at Mortgagor's expense by the insurer or insurers or by an expert
approved by Mortgagee in its reasonable judgment, all under insurance policies
payable, in case of loss or damage, to Mortgagee, such rights to be evidenced by
the usual standard non-contributory form of mortgage clause to be attached to
each policy. Mortgagor shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or
form and contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required hereby.
Mortgagor shall also obtain and maintain public liability, property damage and
workmen's compensation insurance in each case in form and content reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee and in amounts as are customarily carried by owners of
like property and approved by Mortgagee in its reasonable judgment Mortgagor
shall also obtain and maintain such other insurance with respect to the
Mortgaged Premises in such amounts and against such insurable hazards as
Mortgagee from time to time may reasonably require, including, without
limitation, boiler and machinery insurance, insurance against flood risks, host
liquor liability, and insurance against loss of rent due to fire and risks now
or hereafter embraced by so-called "extended coverage." All insurance required
hereby shall be maintained with good and responsible insurance companies
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall not provide for any deductible
amount in excess of $100,000 not approved in writing by Mortgagee, shall provide
that any losses shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of
Mortgagor, shall provide that no cancellation thereof shall be effective until
at least thirty (30) days after receipt by Mortgagor and Mortgagee of written
notice thereof, and shall be satisfactory to Mortgagee in all other respects.
Upon the execution of this Mortgage and thereafter not less than fifteen (l5)
days prior to the expiration date of any policy delivered pursuant to this
Mortgage, Mortgagor will deliver to Mortgagee originals of any policy or renewal
policy, as the case may be, required by this Mortgage, bearing notations
evidencing the payment of all premiums. In the event of foreclosure, Mortgagor
authorizes and empowers Mortgagee to effect insurance upon the Mortgaged
Premises in amounts aforesaid for a period covering the time of redemption from
foreclosure sale provided by law, and if necessary therefor to cancel any or all
existing insurance policies.
UNLESS MORTGAGOR PROVIDES MORTGAGEE WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE
COVERAGE REQUIRED BY THIS MORTGAGE, MORTGAGEE MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT
MORTGAGOR'S EXPENSE TO PROTECT MORTGAGEE'S INTERESTS IN THE MORTGAGED PREMISES.
THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT MORTGAGOR'S INTERESTS IN THE MORTGAGED
PREMISES. THE COVERAGE PURCHASED BY MORTGAGEE MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIMS THAT
MORTGAGOR MAKES OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST MORTGAGOR IN
-7-
CONNECTION WITH THE MORTGAGED PREMISES. MORTGAGOR MAY LATER CANCEL ANY SUCH
INSURANCE PURCHASED BY MORTGAGEE, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING MORTGAGEE WITH
EVIDENCE THAT MORTGAGOR HAS OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS MORTGAGE. IF
MORTGAGEE PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE MORTGAGED PREMISES, MORTGAGOR WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING INTEREST AND ANY OTHER
CHARGES THAT MORTGAGEE MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE
INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE
INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE INDEBTEDNESS HEREBY
SECURED. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE
MORTGAGOR MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN.
9. Damage to or Destruction of Mortgaged Premises.
(a) Notice. In case of any material damage to or destruction
of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall promptly
give written notice thereof to Mortgagee, generally describing the
nature and extent of such damage or destruction.
(b) Restoration. In case of any damage to or destruction of
the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, Mortgagor, whether or not
the insurance proceeds, if any, received on account of such damage or
destruction shall be sufficient for the purpose, at Mortgagor's
expense, will, except to the extent that Mortgagee permits otherwise,
promptly commence and complete (subject to unavoidable delays
occasioned by strikes, lockouts, acts of God, inability to obtain labor
or materials, governmental restrictions and similar causes beyond the
reasonable control of Mortgagor) the restoration, replacement or
rebuilding of the Mortgaged Premises as nearly as possible to its
value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or
destruction.
(c) Adjustment of Loss. Mortgagor hereby authorizes
Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option, to adjust and compromise any losses
under any insurance afforded, but unless Mortgagee elects to adjust the
losses as aforesaid, said adjustment and/or compromise shall be made by
Mortgagor, subject to final approval of Mortgagee in the case of losses
exceeding $100,000.
(d) Application of Insurance Proceeds. Net insurance proceeds
received by Mortgagee under the provisions of this Mortgage or any
instruments supplemental hereto or thereto or under any policy or
policies of insurance covering the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof shall first be applied as a prepayment on the Notes (and
Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to make such an
application whether or not the Notes or any other indebtedness hereby
secured may then be due or otherwise adequately secured) and shall
thereafter be applied to the reduction of any other indebtedness hereby
secured; provided, however, that such proceeds shall be made available
for the restoration of the portion of the Mortgaged Premises damaged or
destroyed if written application for such use is made within thirty
(30) days of receipt of such proceeds and the following conditions are
satisfied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mortgagee: (i)
Mortgagor has in effect business interruption insurance covering the
income to be lost during the restoration period as a result of the
damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Premises or
-8-
provides Mortgagee with other evidence satisfactory to it that
Mortgagor has cash resources sufficient to pay its obligations during
the restoration period; (ii) the effect of the damage to or destruction
of the Mortgaged Premises giving rise to receipt of the insurance
proceeds is not to terminate, or give a lessee the option to terminate,
any lease of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises; (iii) no
Event of Default, or event which, with the lapse of time, the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have
occurred or be continuing (and if such an event shall occur during
restoration Mortgagee may, at its election, apply any insurance
proceeds then remaining in its hands to the reduction of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the other indebtedness hereby
secured); (iv) Mortgagor shall have submitted to Mortgagee plans and
specifications for the restoration which shall be reasonably
satisfactory to it; and (v) Mortgagor shall submit to Mortgagee fixed
price contracts with good and responsible contractors and materialmen
covering all work and materials necessary to complete restoration and
providing for a total completion price not in excess of the amount of
insurance proceeds available for restoration, or, if a deficiency shall
exist, Mortgagor shall have deposited the amount of such deficiency
with Mortgagee. Any insurance proceeds to be released pursuant to the
foregoing provisions may at the option of Mortgagee be disbursed from
time to time as restoration progresses to pay for restoration work
completed and in place and such disbursements may at Mortgagee's option
be made directly to Mortgagor or to or through any contractor or
materialman to whom payment is due or to or through a construction
escrow to be maintained by a title insurer acceptable to Mortgagee.
Mortgagee may impose such further conditions upon the release of
insurance proceeds (including the receipt of title insurance) as are
customarily imposed by prudent construction lenders to insure the
completion of the restoration work free and clear of all liens or
claims for lien. All title insurance charges and other reasonable costs
and expenses paid to or for the account of Mortgagor in connection with
the release of such insurance proceeds shall constitute so much
additional indebtedness hereby secured to be payable upon three (3)
days written notice to Mortgagor, with interest after such three-day
period at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined). Mortgagee may
deduct any such costs and expenses from insurance proceeds at any time
standing in its hands. If Mortgagor fails to request that insurance
proceeds be applied to the restoration of the improvements or if
Mortgagor makes such a request but fails to complete restoration within
a reasonable time (subject to unavoidable delays occasioned by strikes,
lockouts, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials,
governmental restrictions and similar causes beyond the reasonable
control of Mortgagor), Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the
duty, to restore or rebuild said Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof
for or on behalf of Mortgagor in lieu of applying said proceeds to the
indebtedness hereby secured and for such purpose may do all necessary
acts, including using funds deposited by Mortgagor as aforesaid and
advancing additional funds for the purpose of restoration, all such
additional funds to constitute part of the indebtedness hereby secured
payable upon three (3) days written notice to Mortgagor, with interest
after such three-day period at the Default Rate.
10. Eminent Domain. Mortgagor acknowledges that Condemnation Awards
have been assigned to Mortgagee, which awards Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably
authorized to collect and receive, and to give appropriate receipts and
acquittances therefor, and, at Mortgagee's option, to
-9-
apply the same toward the payment of the amount owing on account of the
indebtedness hereby secured in such order of application as Mortgagee may elect
and whether or not the same may then be due and payable or otherwise adequately
secured; provided, however, that a Condemnation Award in respect of any taking
of a portion (but not all or any material portion) of the Mortgaged Premises
shall be made available for the restoration of such Mortgaged Premises in the
same manner and subject to the same conditions as are imposed on the release of
insurance proceeds set forth in Section 9(d) hereof as if the Mortgaged Premises
so taken were destroyed and the Condemnation Award for such taking was actually
insurance proceeds in respect of the Mortgaged Premises so deemed as having been
destroyed. In the event that any proceeds of a Condemnation Award shall be made
available to Mortgagor for restoring the Mortgaged Premises so taken, Mortgagor
hereby covenants to promptly commence and complete such restoration of the
Mortgaged Premises as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character
immediately prior to such taking. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that Mortgagor
will give Mortgagee immediate notice of the actual or threatened commencement of
any proceedings under condemnation or eminent domain affecting all or any part
of the Mortgaged Premises including any easement therein or appurtenance thereof
or severance and consequential damage and change in grade of streets, and will
deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection with any
such proceedings. Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to make, execute and
deliver to Mortgagee, at any time or times upon request, free, clear and
discharged of any encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, any and all further
assignments and/or instruments deemed necessary by Mortgagee for the purpose of
validly and sufficiently assigning all awards and other compensation heretofore
and hereafter to be made to Mortgagor for any taking, either permanent or
temporary, under any such proceeding.
11. Construction, Repair, Waste, Etc. Mortgagor agrees (i) that no
building or other improvement on the Mortgaged Premises and constituting a part
thereof shall be materially altered, removed or demolished nor shall any
fixtures or appliances on, in or about said buildings or improvements be
severed, removed, sold or mortgaged, without the consent of Mortgagee and in the
event of the demolition or destruction in whole or in part of any of the
fixtures, chattels or articles of personal property covered hereby, Mortgagor
covenants that the same will be replaced promptly by similar fixtures, chattels
and articles of personal property at least equal in quality and condition to
those replaced, free from any security interest in or encumbrance thereon or
reservation of title thereto; (ii) to permit, commit or suffer no waste,
impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof; (iii)
to keep and maintain said Mortgaged Premises and every part thereof in good
repair and condition, typical of like properties with similar uses; (iv) to
effect such repairs as Mortgagee may reasonably require and from time to time to
make all needful and proper replacements and additions so that said buildings,
fixtures, machinery and appurtenances will, at all times, be in good condition,
typical of like properties with similar uses, and fit and proper for the
respective purposes for which they were originally erected or installed; (v) to
comply with all statutes, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the
Mortgaged Premises by any federal, state or municipal authority; (vi) to observe
and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend
any and all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning
variances, special exceptions and non-conforming uses), privileges, franchises
and concessions which are applicable to the Mortgaged Premises or which have
been granted to or contracted for by Mortgagor in connection with any existing
or presently contemplated use of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof and
not to initiate or
-10-
acquiesce in any changes to or terminations of any of the foregoing or of zoning
classifications affecting the use to which the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof may be put without the prior written consent of Mortgagee; and (vii) to
make no material alterations in or improvements or additions to the Mortgaged
Premises except as required by governmental authority or as permitted by
Mortgagee.
12. Liens and Encumbrances. Mortgagor will not, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, directly or indirectly, create or suffer to be
created or to remain and will discharge or promptly cause to be discharged any
mortgage, lien, encumbrance or charge on, pledge of, or conditional sale or
other title retention agreement with respect to, the Mortgaged Premises or any
part thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien hereof, except for
this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions.
13. Right of Mortgagee to Perform Mortgagor's Covenants, Etc. If
Mortgagor shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required to be made
or performed hereunder, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing any obligation
or default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter,
and subject only to such requirements to give notice as are specifically
contained herein, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at
the expense of Mortgagor, and may enter upon the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in the opinion of
Mortgagee, may be reasonably necessary or appropriate therefor. All sums so paid
by Mortgagee and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) so incurred, together with
interest thereon from the date of payment or incurrence or, if later, from the
end of any notice period required hereunder, at the Default Rate, shall
constitute so much additional indebtedness hereby secured and shall be paid by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand or, if applicable, after any notice period
required hereunder. Mortgagee in making any payment authorized under this
Section relating to taxes or assessments may do so according to any xxxx,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof. Mortgagee, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of
whether Mortgagor is required to perform same under the terms of this Mortgage.
14. After-Acquired Property. Any and all property hereafter acquired
which is of the kind or nature herein provided, or intended to be and become
subject to the lien hereof, shall ipso facto, and without any further
conveyance, assignment or act on the part of Mortgagor, become and be subject to
the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely as though specifically
described herein; but nevertheless Mortgagor shall from time to time, if
requested by Mortgagee, execute and deliver any and all such further assurances,
conveyances and assignments as Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose
of expressly and specifically subjecting to the lien of this Mortgage all such
property.
15. Inspection by Mortgagee. Mortgagee, any Lender, their respective
representatives and any participant in the indebtedness hereby secured shall
have the right, upon prior notice to Mortgagor, to inspect the Mortgaged
Premises at all reasonable times, and access thereto shall be permitted for that
purpose.
-11-
16. Subrogation. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that Mortgagee
shall be subrogated to any lien discharged out of the proceeds of any extension
of credit evidenced by the Notes or out of any advance by Mortgagee hereunder,
irrespective of whether or not any such lien may have been released of record.
17. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following shall
constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
(a) an "Event of Default" (as defined therein) shall occur
under the Credit Agreement; or
(b) the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof shall be
sold, transferred, or conveyed, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by operation of law or otherwise, except for sales of obsolete, worn
out or unusable fixtures or personal property which are concurrently
replaced with similar fixtures or personal property at least equal in
quality and condition to those sold and owned by Mortgagor free of any
lien, charge or encumbrance other than the lien hereof; or
(c) any indebtedness secured by a lien or charge on the
Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof is not paid when due or
proceedings are commenced to foreclose or otherwise realize upon any
such lien or charge or to have a receiver appointed for the property
subject thereto or to place the holder of such indebtedness or its
representative in possession thereof; or
(d) the Mortgaged Premises is abandoned.
18. Remedies. When any Event of Default has happened and is
continuing (regardless of the pendency of any proceeding which has or might have
the effect of preventing Mortgagor from complying with the terms of this
instrument and of the adequacy of the security for the indebtedness hereby
secured) and in addition to such other rights as may be available under
applicable law, but subject at all times to any mandatory legal requirements:
(a) Acceleration. Mortgagee may, by written notice to
Mortgagor, declare the Notes and all unpaid indebtedness hereby
secured, including the reimbursement obligations in connection with
Letters of Credit and any interest then accrued on the indebtedness
hereby secured, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same
shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without other notice or
demand of any kind.
(b) Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagee shall, with
respect to any part of the Mortgaged Premises constituting property of
the type in respect of which realization on a lien or security interest
granted therein is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, have all
the rights, options and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code of Illinois, including without limitation, the right to
the possession of any such property, or any part thereof, and the right
to enter without legal process any premises where any such property may
be found. Any requirement of said Uniform Commercial Code for
reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to
-12-
Mortgagor at its address above set forth at least l0 days prior to the
sale or other event for which such notice is required. The costs and
expenses of retaking, selling, and otherwise disposing of said
property, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred in
connection therewith, shall constitute so much additional indebtedness
hereby secured and shall be payable upon demand with interest at the
Default Rate.
(c) Foreclosure. Mortgagee may proceed to protect and enforce
the rights of Mortgagee hereunder (i) by any action at law, suit in
equity or other appropriate proceedings, whether for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction
against the violation of any of the terms hereof, or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted hereby or by law, or (ii) by the
foreclosure of this Mortgage.
(d) Appointment of Receiver. Mortgagee shall, as a matter of
right, without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone
claiming by, under or through it, and without regard to the solvency or
insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Mortgaged Premises, be
entitled to have a receiver appointed of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Premises and the rents, issues and profits thereof, with such
power as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor
hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not
oppose any such appointment. Any such receiver may, to the extent
permitted under applicable law, without notice, enter upon and take
possession of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof by force,
summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Mortgagor
or other persons and any and all property therefrom, and may hold,
operate and manage the same and receive all earnings, income, rents,
issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof,
whether during the pendency of any foreclosure or until any right of
redemption shall expire or otherwise.
(e) Taking Possession, Collecting Rents, Etc. Mortgagee may
enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof
and manage, operate, insure, repair and improve the same and take any
action which, in Mortgagee's judgment, is necessary or proper to
conserve the value of the Mortgaged Premises. Mortgagee may also take
possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all personal
property contained in the Mortgaged Premises and used in the operation,
rental or leasing thereof or any part thereof. Mortgagee shall be
entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues
and profits of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof (and for such
purpose Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint
Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for it and in its name,
place and stead to receive, collect and receipt for all of the
foregoing, Mortgagor irrevocably acknowledging that any payment made to
Mortgagee hereunder shall be a good receipt and acquittance against
Mortgagor to the extent so made) and to apply same to the reduction of
the indebtedness hereby secured. The right to enter and take possession
of the Mortgaged Premises and use any personal property therein, to
manage, operate and conserve the same, and to collect the rents, issues
and profits thereof, shall be in addition to all other rights or
remedies of Mortgagee hereunder or afforded by law, and may be
exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. The
reasonable costs and expenses (including any reasonable receiver's
fees, counsels' fees, costs and agent's compensation) incurred
-13-
pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be so much additional
indebtedness hereby secured which Mortgagor promises to pay upon demand
together with interest at the Default Rate. Mortgagee shall not be
liable to account to Mortgagor for any action taken pursuant hereto
other than to account for any rents actually received by Mortgagee.
Without taking possession of the Mortgaged Premises, Mortgagee may, in
the event the Mortgaged Premises becomes vacant or is abandoned, take
such steps as it deems reasonably appropriate to protect and secure the
Mortgaged Premises (including hiring watchmen therefor) and all
reasonable costs incurred in so doing shall constitute so much
additional indebtedness hereby secured payable upon demand with
interest thereon at the Default Rate.
19. Waiver of Right to Redeem From Sale -- Waiver of Appraisement,
Valuation, Etc. Mortgagor shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of
any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any so-called
"Moratorium Laws," now existing or hereafter enacted in order to prevent or
hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby waives the
benefit of such laws. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim through or
under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising
the Mortgaged Premises marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and
agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the
Mortgaged Premises sold as an entirety. In the event of any sale made under or
by virtue of this Mortgage, the whole of the Mortgaged Premises may be sold in
one parcel as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels at the same or
different times, all as the Mortgagee may determine. Mortgagee or any Lender
shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale made under or by virtue
of this Mortgage and Mortgagee or any Lender so purchasing at any such sale
shall have the right to be credited upon the amount of the bid made therefor by
Mortgagee or such Lender with the amount payable to Mortgagee or such Lender out
of the net proceeds of such sale. In the event of any such sale, the Notes and
the other indebtedness hereby secured, if not previously due, shall be and
become immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind.
Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption prior to or from sale
under any order or decree of foreclosure pursuant to rights herein granted, on
behalf of Mortgagor, and each and every person acquiring any interest in, or
title to the Mortgaged Premises described herein subsequent to the date of this
Mortgage, and on behalf of all other persons to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
20. Costs and Expenses of Foreclosure. In any suit to foreclose the
lien hereof there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in
the decree for sale all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid
or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee for attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees,
environmental auditors' fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence,
stenographic charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as the
items to be expended after the entry of the decree) of procuring all such
abstracts of title, title searches and examination, guarantee policies, Torrens
certificates and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee
may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute any foreclosure action
or to evidence to the bidder at any sale pursuant thereto the true condition of
the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Premises, all of which expenditures
shall become so much additional indebtedness hereby secured which Mortgagor
agrees to pay and all of such shall be immediately due and payable with interest
thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate.
-14-
21. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of
the Mortgaged Premises or of any sale of property pursuant to Section 18(b)
hereof shall be distributed in the following order of priority: First, on
account of all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure or other
proceedings including all such items as are mentioned in Sections 18(b) and 20
hereof; Second, to all other items which under the terms hereof constitute
indebtedness hereby secured in addition to that evidenced by the Notes with
interest thereon as herein provided; Third, to all principal of and interest on
the Notes with any overplus to whomsoever Mortgagee shall reasonably determine
to be lawfully entitled to the same.
22. Deficiency Decree. If at any foreclosure proceeding the Mortgaged
Premises shall be sold for a sum less than the total amount of indebtedness for
which judgment is therein given, the judgment creditor shall be entitled to the
entry of a deficiency decree against Mortgagor and against the property of
Mortgagor for the amount of such deficiency; and Mortgagor does hereby
irrevocably consent to the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Premises
and the property of Mortgagor and of the rents, issues and profits thereof after
such sale and until such deficiency decree is satisfied in full.
23. Mortgagee's Remedies Cumulative -- No Waiver. No remedy or right of
Mortgagee shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy but shall be
cumulative and in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No delay in the
exercise or omission to exercise any remedy or right accruing on any default
shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent default of
the same or a different nature. Every such remedy or right may be exercised
concurrently or independently, and when and as often as may be deemed expedient
by Mortgagee.
24. Mortgagee or any Lender Party to Suits. If Mortgagee or any Lender
shall be made a party to or shall intervene in any action or proceeding
affecting the Mortgaged Premises or the title thereto or the interest of
Mortgagee or any Lender under this Mortgage (including probate and bankruptcy
proceedings), or if Mortgagee or any Lender employs an attorney to collect any
or all of the indebtedness hereby secured or to enforce any of the terms hereof
or realize hereupon or to protect the lien hereof, or if Mortgagee or any Lender
shall incur any costs or expenses in preparation for the commencement of any
foreclosure proceedings or for the defense of any threatened suit or proceeding
which reasonably would be expected to affect the Mortgaged Premises or the
security hereof, whether or not any such foreclosure or other suit or proceeding
shall be actually commenced, then in any such case, Mortgagor agrees to pay to
Mortgagee or such Lender, promptly after request therefor, all reasonable costs,
charges, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by Mortgagee or such Lender in
any such case, and the same shall constitute so much additional indebtedness
hereby secured payable upon ten (10) days written notice to Mortgagor, with
interest at the Default Rate after such ten-day period.
25. Modifications Not to Affect Lien. Mortgagee, without notice to
anyone (except the Lenders), and without regard to the consideration, if any,
paid therefor, or the presence of other liens on the Mortgaged Premises, may, at
the direction of the Lenders, release any part of the Mortgaged Premises or any
person liable for any of the indebtedness hereby secured, may extend the time of
payment of any of the indebtedness hereby secured and may grant waivers or other
-15-
indulgences with respect hereto and thereto, and may agree with Mortgagor to
modifications to the terms and conditions contained herein or otherwise
applicable to any of the indebtedness hereby secured (including modifications in
the rates of interest applicable thereto), without in any way affecting or
impairing the liability of any party liable upon any of the indebtedness hereby
secured or the priority of the lien of this Mortgage upon all of the Mortgaged
Premises not expressly released, and any party acquiring any direct or indirect
interest in the Mortgaged Premises shall take same subject to all of the
provisions hereof.
26. Notices. All communications provided for herein shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or mailed by
first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Mortgagor or Mortgagee at
their addresses as shown at the beginning of this Mortgage or at such other
address as shall be designated by any such party in a written notice given to
such other such party pursuant to this Section.
27. Revolving Credit Loans. This Mortgage is given to secure, among
other things, revolving credit loans and shall secure not only presently
existing indebtedness under the Credit Agreement but also future advances,
whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Mortgagee,
or otherwise, as are made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof, to the
same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
this Mortgage, although there may be no advance made at the time of execution of
this Mortgage and although there may be no indebtedness hereby secured
outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of this Mortgage shall be
valid as to all indebtedness hereby secured, including future advances, from the
time of its filing for record in the recorder's or registrar's office in the
county in which the Mortgaged Premises are located. The total amount of
indebtedness hereby secured may increase or decrease from time to time, but the
total unpaid balance of indebtedness hereby secured (including disbursements
which Mortgagee may make under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement or any other
documents related thereto) at any one time outstanding shall not exceed a
maximum principal amount of One Hundred Seventy Million Dollars ($170,000,000)
plus interest thereon and any disbursements made for payment of taxes, special
assessments or insurance on the Mortgaged Premises and interest on such
disbursements (all such indebtedness being hereinafter referred to as the
"maximum amount secured hereby"). This Mortgage shall be valid and have priority
over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, excepting
solely taxes and assessments levied on the Mortgaged Premises, to the extent of
the maximum amount secured hereby.
28. Other Security Documents. Mortgagor acknowledges that, in addition
to this Mortgage, other security documents (the aforesaid being together called
the "Other Security Documents") also secure the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes and certain of the other indebtedness hereby secured. Mortgagor agrees
that the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of
Mortgagee or any other holder of any of the indebtedness hereby secured, and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien and security hereof
shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee or any other holder of any
of the indebtedness hereby secured of any security for or guarantors upon any of
the indebtedness hereby secured or by any failure, neglect or omission on the
part of Mortgagee or any other holder of any of the indebtedness hereby secured
to realize upon or protect any of the indebtedness hereby secured or any
collateral
-16-
or security therefor including the Other Security Documents. The lien and
security interest hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by any
release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender,
compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration,
substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the
indebtedness hereby secured, or of any of the collateral or security therefor,
including, without limitation, the Other Security Documents or of any guaranty
thereof, or of any instrument or agreement setting forth the terms and
conditions pertaining to any of the foregoing. Mortgagee may at its discretion
foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy available to
it under any or all of the Other Security Documents without first exercising or
enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of Mortgagee's
rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Security Documents shall not
in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured, except to the extent of
payment, or the lien of this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights or remedies
of the Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Other
Security Documents or any of Mortgagee's rights and remedies thereunder.
Mortgagor specifically consents and agrees that Mortgagee may exercise its
rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Security Documents separately
or concurrently and in any order that it may deem appropriate.
29. Default Rate. For purposes of this Mortgage, the term "Default
Rate" means, for any day, the rate per annum determined by adding 2% to the sum
of the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) outstanding under the Revolving Credit as from time to time in effect
plus the Base Rate as from time to time in effect (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), with any change in such rate per annum as so determined by reason of
a change in the Base Rate to become effective on the date of such change in the
Base Rate.
30. Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws.
31. Partial Invalidity. All rights, powers and remedies provided herein
are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render
this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered
or filed under any applicable law. If any term of this Mortgage shall be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the
other terms of this Mortgage shall in no way be affected thereby.
32. Agent. Mortgagee has been appointed as agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. In acting under or by virtue of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be
entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges and immunities provided in the
Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Credit
Agreement), all of which provisions are incorporated by reference herein with
the same force and effect as if set forth herein. Mortgagee hereby disclaims any
representation or warranty to Lenders concerning the perfection of the mortgage
lien and security interest granted hereunder or the value of the Mortgaged
Premises.
33. Restrictions on Lenders' Right to Enforce. No Lender shall have the
right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the
foreclosure of this Mortgage or for the execution of any trust or power hereof
or for the appointment of a receiver, or for the enforcement of any other remedy
under or upon this Mortgage; it being understood and intended
-17-
that no one or more of the Lenders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever
to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Mortgage by its or their action
or to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity
shall be instituted, had and maintained by Mortgagee in the manner herein
provided and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.
34. Successors and Assigns. Whenever any of the parties hereto is
referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
assigns of such party; and all the covenants, promises and agreements in this
Mortgage contained by or on behalf of Mortgagor, or by or on behalf of
Mortgagee, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.
35. Headings. The headings in this instrument are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any
provision hereof.
36. Changes, Etc. This instrument and the provisions hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge
or termination is sought.
