or other charges levied against or imposed upon the Mortgaged Property, or (f)
any refund of utility deposits or right to any tenant deposit; and
8. All substitutions, replacements, extensions, renewals, additions and
accessories for or to any of the foregoing.
1. COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower covenants and warrants to Lender as
follows:
(a) AUTHORITY; NO CONFLICT. Borrower has the power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Mortgage.
This Mortgage is executed and delivered in conformity with the Ground Lease. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage by Borrower does not, and
will not violate or conflict with any provision of its organizational or charter
documents or any agreement, court order or consent decree to which Borrower is a
party or by which Borrower may be bound.
(b) TITLE TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower has a valid interest
as the tenant under the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease is subject to no liens or
encumbrances of any kind, and is prior to all liens and encumbrances whatsoever
other than the fee interest of the Ground Lessor and the Permitted Liens (as
hereinafter defined). This Mortgage is and will remain a valid and enforceable
first lien on the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Liens. For
purposes of this Mortgage, "Permitted Liens" shall mean those liens or
encumbrances shown on a loan policy of title insurance accepted in writing by
Lender.
(c) PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower will pay and perform the
Indebtedness when due, whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise.
(d) MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY; WASTE. Borrower shall
preserve and maintain the Mortgaged Property in good repair, working order and
condition, excepting ordinary wear and tear, and shall not commit or permit the
commission of waste against the Mortgaged Property. Failure, refusal or neglect
of Borrower to pay any taxes or assessment or any utility rates levied, assessed
or imposed upon the Mortgaged Property, and/or nonpayment of any premiums for
insurance, shall constitute waste, and shall entitle Lender to exercise the
remedies provided in this Mortgage, as well as those afforded by law.
(e) PAYMENT OF TAXES; DISCHARGE OF LIENS.
-------------------------------------
(i) Borrower shall pay when due, and before
any interest, collection fees or penalties accrue, all taxes,
assessments, encumbrances, liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, water or
sewer charges and other charges and impositions (individually and
collectively, "Imposition(s)") levied, assessed or existing with
respect to the Mortgaged Property, or any part of it, and Borrower will
deliver to Lender receipts showing payment of the Imposition(s). If
Borrower fails to pay any of the Imposition(s), Lender, at its option,
may pay such Imposition(s) and the monies paid shall be a lien upon the
Mortgaged Property, added to the amount secured by this Mortgage, and
payable immediately by Borrower to Lender with interest at the higher
of (i) the interest rate, if any, charged by the particular entity
levying or assessing the Imposition(s), or (ii) the highest rate
charged by Lender on any of the Indebtedness (but in either case not to
exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law).
(ii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined) hereunder, at the option of Lender,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, in advance on the first day of each
month, a pro rata portion (as determined by Lender) of all
Imposition(s) levied, assessed or existing on the Mortgaged Property.
In the event that sufficient funds have been deposited with Lender to
cover the amount of these Imposition(s) when they become due and
payable, Lender shall pay them. In the event that sufficient funds have
not been deposited to cover the amount of these Imposition(s) at least
thirty (30) days prior to the time when they become due and payable,
Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the deficiency to
3
4
Lender. Lender shall not be required to keep a separate account or to
pay Borrower any interest on the funds held by Lender for the payment
of the Imposition(s) pursuant to this Section 1(e) or for the payment
of insurance premiums under Section 1(g) below, or on any other funds
deposited with Lender in connection with this Mortgage. The funds on
deposit with Lender are further security for the Indebtedness and if an
Event of Default occurs under this Mortgage, any funds remaining on
deposit with Lender may be applied against the Indebtedness at any time
after the Event of Default occurs, and without notice to Borrower.
(f) SALE OR TRANSFER. Borrower will not sell or transfer all or any
interest in the Mortgaged Property or in Borrower without the prior written
consent of Lender. For purposes of this Section 1(f), a "transfer" of Borrower
shall include, without limitation, any sale (involving either all or any portion
of the equity interest in Borrower or all or substantially all of Borrower's
assets), merger, consolidation, change in control or termination of existence of
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender's consent shall not be required
for transfers of limited partner interests of Borrower for estate planning
purposes, provided that such transfers, in the aggregate, shall not result in a
change in control of Borrower. In the event ownership of the Mortgaged Property,
or any part, becomes vested in any person(s) other than Borrower, Lender may
deal with and may enter into any contract or agreement with the successor(s) in
interest with reference to this Mortgage in the same manner as with Borrower,
without discharging or otherwise affecting the lien of this Mortgage or
Borrower's obligations under this Mortgage.
(g) INSURANCE.
---------
(i) Borrower shall keep the buildings and all
other improvements on the Mortgaged Property insured for the benefit of
Lender against fire and other hazards and risks. Borrower covenants and
agrees that Borrower will carry and maintain, at its sole cost and
expense, the following types of insurance, in the amounts specified:
(A) comprehensive general liability insurance with initial limits of
not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for death or injuries to
one person and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for death
or injuries to two or more persons in one occurrence, and not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for damage to property; (B) fire and
extended coverage insurance on a replacement form with inflation-guard
vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements; (C) rent loss or
business interruption insurance covering a period of not less than
twelve (12) months; (D) flood insurance (if the Mortgaged Property is
situated in an area which is considered a flood risk area by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development, and for which flood
insurance is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
as amended); (E) builder's risk insurance (if Borrower is constructing
buildings or improvements on the Mortgaged Property) in an amount not
less than 100% of their full insurable replacement cost; (F) an
umbrella policy of not less than $5,000,000; and (G) such other
insurance and in such amounts as may be reasonably required from time
to time by Lender. All insurance shall be in amounts and in forms and
with companies satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall deliver to Lender
the policies (or, alternatively, originally executed certificates of
insurance therefor) evidencing the required insurance with premiums
fully paid, and with standard mortgagee clauses (making all losses
payable to Lender). Renewals of the required insurance (together with
evidence of premium prepayment for one (1) year in advance) shall be
delivered to Lender at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of
any existing policies. All policies and renewals shall provide that
they may not be canceled or amended without giving Lender thirty (30)
days prior written notice of cancellation or amendment.
(ii) Should Borrower fail to insure or fail to
pay the premiums on any required insurance or fail to deliver the
policies or renewals as provided above, Lender may have the insurance
issued or renewed (and pay the premiums on it for the account of
Borrower) in amounts and with companies and at premiums as Lender deems
appropriate. If Lender elects to have insurance issued or renewed to
insure Lender's interest, Lender shall have no duty or obligation of
any kind to also insure Borrower's interest or to notify Borrower of
Lender's actions. Any sums paid by Lender for insurance, as provided
above, shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property, added to the amount
secured by this Mortgage, and payable immediately by Borrower to
Lender, as the case may be, with interest on those sums at the
4
5
highest rate charged by Lender on any of the Indebtedness (but not to
exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law).
(iii) In the event of loss or damage to the
Mortgaged Property, the proceeds of all required insurance shall be
paid to Lender. No loss or damage shall itself reduce the Indebtedness.
Lender or any of its employees is each irrevocably appointed
attorney-in-fact for Borrower and is authorized to adjust and
compromise each loss without the consent of Borrower, to collect,
receive and receipt for the insurance proceeds in the name of Lender
and Borrower and to endorse Borrower's name upon any check in payment
of the loss.
(iv) Lender shall apply such proceeds to the
repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property subject to the
following conditions:
(1) there shall be no Event of Default
existing hereunder;
(2) plans for repair and restoration
shall be reviewed and approved by
Lender, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed;
(3) repair and restoration of the
Mortgaged Property to a viable,
economic unit (as determined by
Lender) can practicably be completed
prior to the Due Date set forth in
the Note;
(4) Borrower shall have deposited with
Lender funds equal to the positive
difference, if any, between the cost
of repair, restoration and
completion, and the amount of the
insurance proceeds; and
(5) disbursements will be made by Lender
or, at Lender's option, a title
insurance company acceptable to
Lender, pursuant to procedures
necessary or appropriate to keep the
Mortgaged Property free of
mechanics' liens and to ensure that
funds are properly applied.
Provided that no Event of Default exists, if there are insurance
proceeds in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) or
less remaining after the repair and restoration of the Mortgaged
Property as required hereunder, such proceeds shall be paid to
Borrower. Provided that no Event of Default exists, if there are
insurance proceeds in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)
remaining after the repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property as
required hereunder, such proceeds shall be applied toward payment of
the Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) without premium, whether or
not then due or payable, in whatever order of maturity as Lender may
elect. Application of proceeds by Lender toward later maturing
installments of the Indebtedness shall not excuse Borrower from making
the regularly scheduled installment payments nor shall such application
extend or reduce the amount of any of these payments.
(v) Notwithstanding Section 1(g)(iv) above, if
a substantial portion (fifty percent [50%] or more) of the Mortgaged
Property is damaged or destroyed during the last twenty-four (24)
months of the term of the Note, and provided that no Event of Default
then exists hereunder, either Borrower or Lender may elect not to
rebuild and to apply the insurance proceeds toward payment of the
Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) without premium, whether or not
then due and payable, in whatever order of maturity as Lender may
elect. Application of proceeds by Lender toward later maturing
installments of the Indebtedness shall not excuse Borrower from making
the regularly scheduled installment payments nor shall such application
extend or reduce the amount of any of these payments.
(vi) In the event of a foreclosure of this
Mortgage, or the giving of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the purchaser
or grantee of the Mortgaged Property shall succeed to all of the rights
of
5
6
Borrower under the insurance policies including, without limit, any
right to unearned premiums and to receive the proceeds.
(vii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, at the option of Lender, Borrower shall pay to
Lender, in advance on the first day of each month, a pro rata portion
of the annual premiums due (as estimated by Lender) on the required
insurance. In the event that sufficient funds have been deposited with
Lender to cover the amount of the insurance premiums when the premiums
become due and payable, Lender shall pay the premiums. In the event
that sufficient funds have not been deposited with Lender to pay the
insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the time when
they become due and payable, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount
of the deficiency to Lender.
(h) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND OTHER MATTERS. Borrower will
comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations
and restrictions relating to the ownership, use, occupancy and operation of the
Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall be solely responsible to apply for and secure
any building permit or permission of any duly constituted authority for the
purpose of doing any of the things which Borrower is required or permitted to do
under the provisions of this Mortgage. Further, Borrower will comply with,
perform Borrower's obligations under, and enforce the obligations of all other
parties to all building and use restrictions, ground leases, leases, reservation
and/or purchase agreements, condominium documents and/or other instruments
affecting or relating to the use and/or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.
(i) ALTERATION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
---------------------------
(i) Without the prior written consent of
Lender, Borrower will not remove any building, structure or other
improvement forming part of the Mortgaged Property.
(ii) Borrower may from time to time make
alterations, replacements, additions, changes, and improvements
(collectively, "Alterations") in and to the Mortgaged Property as
Borrower may find necessary or convenient for its purposes; provided,
however, that no such Alterations shall decrease the value of the
Mortgaged Property. All work with respect to any Alteration shall be
done in a good and workmanlike manner by properly qualified and
licensed personnel, and such work shall be diligently prosecuted to
completion.
(iii) Borrower shall pay the costs of any
Alterations done on the Mortgaged Property, and shall keep the
Mortgaged Property free and clear of liens of any kind. Borrower shall
indemnify and defend Lender from and against any liability, loss,
damage, costs, attorneys' fees, and any other expense incurred as a
result of claims of lien by any person performing work or furnishing
materials or supplies for Borrower or any person claiming under
Borrower.
(iv) No Alteration shall be undertaken until
Borrower shall have procured and paid for all required permits and
authorizations of all municipal departments and governmental
subdivisions having jurisdiction. Any Alteration involving an estimated
cost of more than Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00)
shall be conducted under the supervision of a licensed architect or
engineer selected by Borrower and satisfactory to Lender and shall be
made in accordance with detailed plans and specifications ("Plans and
Specifications") and cost estimates prepared by such architect or
engineer and approved in writing in advance by Lender. Any Alteration
shall be made promptly and in a good workmanlike manner and in
compliance with all applicable permits and authorizations and building
and zoning laws and all laws and in accordance with the orders, rules
and regulations of the Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters and any
other body hereafter exercising similar functions having or asserting
jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property.
6
7
(v) In connection with any Alteration
involving an estimated cost in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), Lender shall have the right to require
Borrower to post a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to
Lender to insure the completion of such Alteration.
(j) OBLIGATION TO REBUILD.
----------------------
(i) If any portion of the Mortgaged Property
is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, subject to Section
1(g)(iv) above, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, forthwith
repair, restore, rebuild or replace the damaged or destroyed
improvements, fixtures or equipment, and complete the same as soon as
reasonably possible, to the condition they were in prior to such damage
or destruction, except for such changes in design or materials as may
then be required by law or are approved by Lender in Lender's
reasonable discretion. Lender, in such event, shall, to the extent the
proceeds of the insurance are made available to Lender, reimburse
Borrower for the costs of making such repairs, restoration, rebuilding
and replacements on such terms as Lender may reasonably require. To the
extent, if any, that the proceeds of insurance made available as
aforesaid are insufficient to pay the entire cost of making such
repairs, restoration, rebuilding and replacements, Borrower shall pay
the amount by which such costs exceed the insurance proceeds made
available as aforesaid.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that Borrower fails to commence the repair or restoration of the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 1(j) within sixty (60) days
after the casualty, or if Borrower abandons or fails to diligently
pursue completion of such repair or restoration (as determined in
Lender's reasonable judgment), then Lender shall be entitled to apply
the insurance proceeds first towards reimbursement of all costs and
expenses of Lender in collecting the proceeds (including, without
limit, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees), and then toward any
payment of the Indebtedness or any portion of it, whether or not then
due or payable and in whatever order of maturity as Lender may elect.
Application of proceeds by Lender toward later maturing installments of
the Indebtedness shall not excuse Borrower from making the regularly
scheduled installment payments nor shall such application extend or
reduce the amount of any of these payments.
(k) RECORDING. Borrower will cause this Mortgage, any
supplemental or restated mortgage and any financing and continuation statements
required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code to be recorded and filed at
Borrower's expense in such manner and in such place as may, in Lender's opinion,
be necessary or proper.
(l) ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES. Borrower will execute and deliver
additional instruments and take additional actions as Lender may reasonably
request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Mortgage.
(m) BOOKS AND RECORDS; INSPECTION RIGHTS. Borrower will at all
times maintain accurate and complete books and records and copies of all
building and use restrictions, ground leases, leases, reservation and/or
purchase agreements, condominium documents, contracts and/or other instruments
with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Lender may inspect and make copies of
those books and records and any other data relating to the Mortgaged Property.
Lender may inspect the Mortgaged Property at such reasonable times as Lender
shall determine. Borrower will promptly provide to Lender reports concerning the
income, expenses and financial and other conditions of the Mortgaged Property as
may be required from time to time by Lender.
(n) ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY AND
INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to the contrary,
Borrower represents, covenants and warrants to Lender as follows:

interest thereon at a rate equal to the highest interest rate charged
on the Indebtedness (but not to exceed the maximum interest rate
permitted by law), and such amount, including interest, shall, if

days after written request therefor from Lender, furnish to Lender, or such
other persons or entities as Lender shall designate, a duly acknowledged written

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) of not less than 1.2 to 1.0
for Borrower's business operations generally and not less than 1.2 to 1.0 for
the Franchised Operation. "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" shall mean Borrower's
Operating Cash Flow divided by its Fixed Charges (each as defined below). The
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratios shall be calculated by Borrower from time to time

that certain Agreement of Limited Partnership of WM Limited Partnership - 1998,
dated as of January 30, 1998, between MCC Food Service, Inc., a Michigan

generally to be less than 1.2 to 1.0.
(u) GROUND LEASE. Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to
the contrary, Borrower represents, covenants and warrants to Lender as follows:
(i) Borrower has delivered to Lender a true,
accurate and complete copy of the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease is in
full force and effect, unmodified by any writing or otherwise. Borrower
is in possession of the leasehold estate, and Borrower's right to
possession is not being disputed. All rent, additional rent and other
charges reserved under the Ground Lease have been paid to the extent
payable to the date hereof. Borrower has not delivered or received any
notices of default and is not in default under the terms of the Ground
Lease, and there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time
or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default
thereunder. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, the Ground Lessor is
not in default under any of the terms or provisions of the Ground Lease
on the part of the Ground Lessor to be observed or performed.
(ii) Borrower shall promptly pay, when due and
payable, the rent, additional rent and other charges payable under the
Ground Lease. Borrower shall promptly and faithfully observe, perform
and comply with all the terms, covenants and provisions of the Ground
Lease on its part to be observed, performed and complied with at the
time set forth therein (including applicable cure periods). Borrower
shall not permit, suffer or refrain from doing anything the result of
which could be a default or breach of any of the terms of the Ground
Lease. Borrower shall not terminate, surrender, modify, amend or in any
way alter or permit the alteration of the terms of the Ground Lease or
waive, excuse or discharge any of the obligations of the Ground Lessor
without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; and shall enforce the obligations of the Ground
Lessor under the Ground Lease to the end that Borrower may enjoy all of
the rights granted to it under the Ground Lease.
(iii) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in
writing of any default by Borrower under the Ground Lease and shall
promptly deliver to Lender copies of each notice of default and all
other notices and communications received by Borrower in connection
therewith. Borrower shall furnish to Lender copies of such information
and evidence as Lender may reasonably require concerning Borrower's due
observance, performance and compliance with the terms, covenants and
provisions of the Ground Lease.
(iv) In the event of any default by Borrower
in the performance of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease,
including, but not limited to, any default in the payment of rent and
other charges payable by Borrower under the Ground Lease, then, in each
and every case, Lender, at its option and without notice, and without
curing the resulting default between Borrower and Lender and without
11
12
waiving Lender's right of foreclosure or any other right or remedy of
Lender hereunder or otherwise, cure or cause to be cured the default
and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower thereunder in the
name and on behalf of Borrower within thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of written notice of such default from Ground Lessor. Borrower
shall after written demand reimburse Lender for all advances made and
expenses incurred by Lender in curing any such default (including
reasonable attorney's fees and costs), together with interest thereon
at the applicable default rate.
(v) If the Ground Lease is canceled or
terminated, and if Lender or its nominees shall acquire an interest in
any new lease of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall have no right,
title or interest in and to the new lease or the leasehold estate
created by such new lease.
(vi) So long as the Indebtedness secured by
this Mortgage remains unpaid and unless Lender otherwise consents in
writing, there shall be no merger of the Ground Lease or the leasehold
estate created thereby with the fee estate in the Mortgaged Property by
virtue of any of those interests coming into common ownership.
(vii) Borrower will not sell, transfer or
assign the Ground Lease or enter into any sublease of the Mortgaged
Property, or any rents, issues or profits issuing from the Mortgaged
Property without the prior written consent of Lender.
(viii) Borrower shall not consent to the
subordination of the Ground Lease other than pursuant to the
circumstances set forth under Section 12 of the Ground Lease.
(ix) Borrower will, within ten (10) days after
written demand from Lender, use its best efforts to obtain from the
Ground Lessor and deliver to Lender a certificate stating that the
Ground Lease is in full force and effect, is unmodified, that no notice
of termination thereon has been served on Borrower as tenant thereof,
stating the date to which the net rent has been paid and stating
whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the
nature of such defaults, if any.
(x) Borrower will furnish to Lender, upon
Lender's reasonable demand, proof of payment of all items which are
required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Ground Lease and proof
of payment of which is required to be given to the Ground Lessor under
the Ground Lease.
(xi) The generality of the provisions of this
Section shall not be limited by other provisions of this Mortgage
setting forth particular obligations of Borrower which are also
required of Borrower as tenant under the Ground Lease.
(xii) Throughout the term of the Ground Lease,
Borrower shall exercise all options to extend or renew the term of the
Ground Lease not less than thirty (30) days prior to the last day upon
which any such option may be exercised, unless Lender otherwise agrees
in writing. Borrower shall send Lender a copy of the notice of exercise
concurrently with Borrower's exercise of the option. Upon the failure
of Borrower to so elect or renew the Ground Lease as aforesaid (and the
failure of Lender to otherwise agree in writing), Lender shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to exercise such extension or renewal
options on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender (or
any of its employees) as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
exercising such extension or renewal option.

proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and applied toward reimbursement of
all Lender's costs and expenses incurred in connection with

attorneys' fees), and the balance applied upon the Indebtedness whether or not
then due or payable in whatever manner Lender deems advisable. Application by
Lender of any condemnation award or portion of it toward the last maturing
installments of the Indebtedness shall not excuse Borrower from making the
regularly scheduled payments nor extend or reduce the amount of these payments.
