LLC, and if Elgin Tower LLC does then close on the purchase of the Subject Property by the date
required in this Third Amendment Agreement, then if Capstone shall also assign its rights under

Default. Lender shall not by any other omission or act be deemed to waive any of its rights or
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 3
remedies hereunder unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Lender,and then only to the extent
specifically set forth therein. A waiver in connection with one event shall not be construed as
continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy in connection with a subsequent event.

obligations of Borrower under this Note (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively herein as
"Obligors") agree to be jointly and severally bound hereby and jointly and severally: (i) waive and

(iv)consent to the addition of any and all other makers,endorsers,and other Obligors for the payment
hereof, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for the payment hereof, and agree that the

payment hereof.

shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of Illinois, and that this

or encumbrance to attach to or be filed against the Premises,including mechanic's liens,materialmen's

against mechanic's liens against the Premises, Borrower,or any party obligated to Borrower to do so,

contest shall have the effect of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof,or
any interest therein,to satisfy such Mechanic's Lien; (ii) that,within ten(10)days after Borrower has
been notified of the filing of such Mechanic's Lien,Borrower shall have notified Lender in writing of
Borrower's intention to contest such Mechanic's Lien or to cause such other party to contest such
Mechanic's Lien; and(iii)that Borrower shall have obtained a title insurance endorsement over such
Mechanic's Liens insuring Lender against loss or damage by reason of the existence of such
Mechanic's Liens or Borrower shall have deposited or cause to be deposited with Lender at such place
as Lender may from time to time in writing appoint, and in the absence of such appointment,then at
the place of payment designated in the Note, a sum of money which shall be sufficient in the
reasonable judgment of Lender to pay in full such Mechanic's Lien and all interest which might
become due thereon, and shall keep on deposit an amount so sufficient at all times, increasing such
amount to cover additional interest whenever, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, such increase is
advisable. Such deposits are to be held without any allowance of interest. In case Borrower shall fail
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\L.oan Package V6.docx 10
to maintain or cause to be maintained sufficient funds on deposit as hereinabove provided, shall fail
to prosecute such contest or cause such contest to be prosecuted with reasonable diligence or shall fail
to pay or cause to be paid the amount of the Mechanic's Lien plus any interest finally determined to
be due upon the conclusion of such contest,to the extent such amount exceeds the amount on deposit
with Lender, Lender may, at its option, apply the money as deposited in payment of or on account of
such Mechanic's Lien,or that part thereof then unpaid,together with all interest thereon. If the amount
of money so deposited shall be insufficient for the payment in full of such Mechanic's Lien,together
with all interest thereon, Borrower shall forthwith, upon demand, deposit with Lender a sum which,
when added to the funds then on deposit,shall be sufficient to make such payment in full. In the event
the contest of the Mechanic's Lien claim is ultimately resolved in favor of the claimant, Lender shall
apply the money so deposited in full payment of such Mechanic's Lien or that part thereof then unpaid,
together with all interest thereon(provided Borrower is not then in default hereunder)when furnished
with evidence satisfactory to Lender of the amount of payment to be made. Any overplus remaining
in the control of Lender shall be paid to Borrower,provided Borrower is not then in default hereunder.
4. Taxes and Liens.
A. Payment. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid when due and before any penalty attaches,
all general and special taxes,assessments,water charges, sewer charges,and other fees,taxes,charges
and assessments of every kind and nature whatsoever, levied or assessed against the Premises or any
part thereof or any interest therein or any obligation or instrument secured hereby,and all installments
thereof (all herein generally called ("Taxes"), whether or not assessed against Borrower, and
Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts therefor on or before the date the same are due; and shall
discharge any claim or lien relating to Taxes upon the Premises, other than matters expressly
permitted by the terms of the Loan Agreement, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
occurrence of any breach or other default by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents,which
breach or default is not cured within the time, if any allowed for such a cure in said documents, then
the Lender,in addition to all other rights and remedies,shall have the right to require that the Borrower
escrow, on a monthly basis, 1112` of the estimated annual real estate Taxes last levied against the
Real Estate. The 2014 Taxes are delinquent and have been sold and will be not be redeemed and paid
prior to the Maturity Date.
B. Contest. Borrower may, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, contest or cause to be
contested the validity or amount of any such Taxes,provided that:
(a) such contest shall have the effect of preventing the collection of the Taxes so
contested and the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein to
satisfy the same;
(b) Borrower has notified Lender in writing of the intention of Borrower to contest
the same or to cause the same to be contested before any Tax has been increased by any
interest,penalties,or costs; and
(c) Borrower has deposited or caused to be deposited with Lender, at such place as
Lender may from time to time in writing designate, a sum of money or other security
acceptable to Lender that,when added to the monies or other security, if any, deposited with
Lender, pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof, is sufficient, in Lender's reasonable judgment to pay
in full such contested tax and all penalties and interest that might become due thereon, and
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 11
shall keep on deposit an amount sufficient, in Lender's reasonable judgment, to pay in full
such contested tax, increasing such amount to cover additional penalties and interest
whenever, in Lender's reasonable judgment, such increase is advisable.
In the event Borrower fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence or fails to maintain
sufficient funds on deposit as hereinabove provided, Lender may, at its option apply the monies and
liquidate any securities deposited with Lender, in payment of, or on account of, such Taxes, or any
portion thereof then unpaid, including all penalties and interest thereon. If the amount of the money
and any such security so deposited is insufficient for the payment in full of such Taxes,together with
all penalties and interest thereon, Borrower shall forthwith,upon demand, either deposit with Lender
a sum that,when added to such funds then on deposit with Lender,is sufficient to make such payment
in full,or,if Lender has applied funds on deposit on account of such Taxes,restore such deposit to an
amount satisfactory to Lender. Provided that Borrower is not then in default hereunder, Lender shall,
if so requested in writing by Borrower, after final disposition of such contest and upon Borrower's
delivery to Lender of an official bill for such Taxes, apply the money so deposited in full payment of
such Taxes or that part thereof then unpaid, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
5. Change in Tax Laws. If, by the laws of the United States of America, or of any state or
municipality having jurisdiction over Lender, Borrower or the Premises, any Tax is imposed or
become due in respect of the issuance of the Note or the recording of this Mortgage, Borrower shall
pay such Tax in the manner required by such law. In the event that any law, statute,rule,regulation,
order or court decree has the effect of deducting from the value of the Premises for the purpose of
taxation any lien thereon,or imposing upon Lender the payment of the whole or any part of the Taxes
required to be paid by the Borrower, or changing in any way relating to the taxation of mortgages or
debts secured by mortgages or the interest of Lender in the Premises, or the manner of collection of
Taxes, so as to affect this Mortgage, the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or Lender, then, and in any
such event, Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such Taxes, or reimburse Lender therefor
on demand, unless Lender determines, in Lender's reasonable judgment, that such payment or
reimbursement by Borrower is unlawful; in which event the Indebtedness Hereby Secured shall be
due and payable within thirty(30) days after written demand by Lender to Borrower.Nothing in this
Paragraph 5 shall require Borrower to pay any income,franchise or excise Tax imposed upon Lender,
excepting only such which may be levied against the income of Lender as a complete or partial
substitute for Taxes required to be paid by Borrower pursuant hereto.
6. Insurance Coverage. Borrower will insure the Premises against such perils and hazards, and
in such amounts and with such limits, as Lender may from time to time reasonably require, and in
any event will continuously maintain the following described policies of insurance (the "Insurance
Policies"):
(a) Casualty insurance against loss and damage by all risks of physical loss or damage,
including fire,windstorm,flood,earthquake and other risks covered by the so-called extended
coverage endorsement in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of all
Improvements;
(b) Comprehensive public liability against death,bodily injury and property damage in an
amount not less than One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00); and
(c) The types and amounts of coverage as are customarily maintained by owners or
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 12
operators of like properties.
7. Insurance Policies. All Insurance Policies shall be in form, companies and amounts
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All Insurance Policies insuring against casualty and other
appropriate policies shall include non-contributing mortgagee endorsements in favor of and with loss
payable to Lender, as well as standard waiver of subrogation endorsements, shall provide that the
coverage shall not be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days' advance written
notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder without ten (10) days'
advance written notice to Lender. Borrower will deliver all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid, to
Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, Borrower will deliver renewal or
replacement policies not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration. The requirements
of the preceding sentence shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by Borrower
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Insurance Policies
maintained by any tenants under the Leases may, if in conformity with the requirements of this
Mortgage be utilized by Borrower in satisfaction of Borrower's obligation to provide the insurance
coverages provided by those Insurance Policies.
8. Deposits for Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Following the occurrence of any Default (as
defined in Paragraph 16 hereunder by Borrower),but subject to the rights of the Senior Lien Holders,
then if required by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender, monthly, installments of Taxes and
assessments to be levied upon the Premises, and installments of the premiums that will become due
and payable to renew the insurance hereinabove provided; said installments to be substantially equal
and to be in such amount as will assure to Lender that not less than thirty(30) days before the time
when such Taxes and premiums respectively become due, Borrower will have paid to Lender a
sufficient amount to pay such Taxes and premiums in full. Said amounts paid to Lender hereunder
need not be segregated or kept in a separate fund and no interest shall accrue or be payable thereon.
Said amounts shall be held by Lender as additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness
Hereby Secured. Said amount shall be applied to the payment of said Taxes, assessments and
insurance premiums when the same become due and payable; provided, however, that Lender shall
have no liability for any failure to so apply said amounts for any reason whatsoever. Nothing herein
contained shall in any manner limit the obligation of Borrower to pay Taxes and to maintain insurance
as above provided. In the event of any Default by Borrower, Lender may, at its option but without
any obligation on its part so to do, apply said amount upon said Taxes, assessments and insurance
premiums, and/or toward the payment of any amounts payable by Borrower to Lender under the
Mortgage and/or toward the payment of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or any portion thereof,
whether or not then due or payable. Lender shall not require payments hereunder so long as Borrower
makes timely payment of Taxes and insurance and provides Lender with evidence of same.
9. Proceeds of Insurance. Borrower will give Lender prompt notice of any loss or damage to
the Premises, and subject to the rights of the Senior Lender with respect to the existing Mortgage
against the Land:
(a) In case of loss or damage covered by any of the Insurance Policies, Lender (or,
after entry of decree of foreclosure,the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or decree creditor,as
the case may be) is hereby authorized at its option either (i) to settle and adjust any claim
under such Insurance Policies without the consent of Borrower,provided such settlement be
done in a commercially reasonable manner, or (ii) allow Borrower to settle and adjust such
claim without the consent of Lender; provided that in either case Lender shall, and is hereby
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Tenn Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 13
authorized to, collect and receipt for any such insurance proceeds. Each insurance company
which has issued an Insurance Policy is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for
all losses covered by any Insurance Policy to Lender alone, and not to Lender and Borrower
jointly.
(b) Lender shall apply the proceeds of Insurance Policies consequent upon any
casualty to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring,repairing,replacing or rebuilding the
loss or damage of the casualty subject to the considerations and in accordance with the
provision of Paragraph 10 hereof, but only if(i) Borrower is not in default hereunder at the
time of such loss or at any time subsequent thereto prior to the full disbursement of said
proceeds and (ii) the said proceeds (together with any additional funds as Borrower may
deposit with Lender)are first demonstrated by Borrower to Lender to be sufficient to complete
the full restoration and repair of the Premises based upon firm proposals and cost estimates
provided by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Borrower hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
Improvements,to be of at least equal value,and of substantially the same character as prior to
such loss or damage,all to be effected in accordance with plans,specifications and procedures
to be first submitted to and approved by Lender, and Borrower shall pay all costs of such
restoring, repairing,replacing or rebuilding.
10. Disbursement of Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, insurance
proceeds held by Lender for restoration,repairing,replacement or rebuilding of the Premises shall be
disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to it of the
estimated cost of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (ii) funds (or assurances
satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available)sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance
to complete and fully pay for the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (iii) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements,
plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may require
and approve. No payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement
and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to
time, as such value shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment; funds other than
proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds, except as may
otherwise be provided in the Loan Agreement and at all times the undisbursed balance of such
proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited or irrevocably committed
to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower to pay the cost of such repair, restoration,
replacement or rebuilding, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay the
entire unpaid cost of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or
claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of insurance proceeds held by Lender after
payment of such costs of restoration,repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to Borrower.
11. Condemnation and Eminent Domain. Subject to the rights of the existing Senior Lender
with respect to the existing Mortgage against the Land, any and all awards heretofore or hereafter
made or to be made to the present, or any subsequent, owner of the Premises, by any governmental
or other lawful authority for the taking,by condemnation or eminent domain,of all or any part of the
Premises,(including any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance of
a claim therefor,the ascertainment of the amount thereof, and the issuance of a warrant for payment
thereof) (the"Awards"), are hereby assigned by Borrower and Title Holder to Lender,which Awards
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Tenn Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 14
Lender is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities, and Lender is
hereby authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor. Borrower and Title Holder
shall give Lender immediate notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation
or eminent domain proceedings affecting all or any part of the Premises and shall deliver to Lender
copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceedings. Borrower and Title
Holder further agrees to make,execute,and deliver to Lender,at any time upon request,free and clear
and discharged of any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever,any and all further assignments and other
instruments deemed necessary by Lender for the purpose of validly and sufficiently assigning all
Awards and other compensation heretofore and hereafter made to Borrower and Title Holder for any
taking,either permanent or temporary,under any such proceeding. If any portion of or interest in the
Premises if taken by condemnation or eminent domain, either temporarily or permanently, and the
remaining portion of the Premises is not,in the reasonable judgment of Lender, a complete economic
unit having equivalent value to the Premises as it existed prior to the taking, then, at the option of
Lender,the entire Indebtedness Hereby Secured shall immediately become due and payable. Lender
shall be entitled to apply the proceeds towards repayment of such portion of the Indebtedness Hereby
Secured as it deems appropriate without affecting the lien of this Mortgage. In the event of any partial
taking of the Premises or any interest in the Premises, which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender
leaves the Premises as a complete economic unit having equivalent value to the Premises as it existed
prior to the taking, and provided no default has occurred and is then continuing, the Award shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower and Title Holder for the cost of plans, specifications and procedures
which must be submitted to and approved by Lender, and such Award shall be disbursed in the same
manner as is herein above provided for the application of insurance proceeds provided that any surplus
after payment of such costs shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured. If the
Award is not applied for reimbursement of such restoration costs, the Award shall be applied against
the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, in such order or manner as Lender shall elect.
12. Assignment of Rents, Leases and Profits. To further secure the Indebtedness Hereby
Secured,but subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, Borrower and Title Holder hereby sell, assign
and transfer unto Lender all of the rents, leases, issues and profits now due and which may hereafter
become due under or by virtue of any leases ("Leases") which may have been heretofore or may be
hereafter made or agreed to by Borrower and Title Holder or the beneficiary or beneficiaries of
Borrower and Title Holder or the agents of any of them or which may be made or agreed to by Lender
under the powers herein granted, it being the intention hereby to establish an absolute transfer and
assignment of all such leases, rents and all avails thereunder, to Lender. Borrower represents and
agrees that no rent has been or will be paid by any person in possession of any portion of the Premises
for more than thirty(30) days in advance and that the payment of none of the rents to accrue for any
portion of the Premises has been or will be waived, released, reduced, discounted or otherwise
discharged or compromised by Borrower. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting
Lender a mortgagee in possession in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Premises
by Lender pursuant to Paragraph 17 hereof. Borrower and Title Holder further agrees to assign and
transfer to Lender all future Leases upon all or any part of the Premises and to execute and deliver, at
the request of Lender, all such further assurances and assignments in the Premises as Lender shall
from time to time require. Although it is the intention of the parties that the assignment contained in
this Paragraph shall be a present assignment, it is expressly understood and agreed, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that Lender shall not exercise any of the rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Paragraph until a Default shall exist under this Mortgage. In the event
Lender requires that Borrower and Title Holder execute and record a separate Collateral Assignment
of Rents or separate assignments of any of the Leases to Lender, the terms and provisions of those
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 15
assignments shall control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Mortgage and the terms
thereof.
13. Observation of Lease Assignment. Borrower expressly covenants and agrees that if
Borrower, as lessor under any of the Leases transferred, sold or assigned hereunder, shall fail to
perform or fulfill any term, covenant, condition or provision of said Lease on its part to be performed
or fulfilled at the times and in the manner in said Lease provided, and Borrower shall fail to cure the
same within 30 days thereafter, or if Borrower shall transfer, terminate, amend, modify or void any
of the Leases without Lender's prior written consent, except within the ordinary course of business,
then and in such event the same shall constitute a Default hereunder and at the option of Lender, and
upon written notice to Borrower, the Indebtedness Hereby Secured shall become due and payable as
in the case of other defaults.
14. Lender's Performance of Borrower's Obligations. In case of Default, Lender, either before
or after acceleration of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or the foreclosure of the lien hereof and
during the period of redemption, if any, may, but shall not be required to, make any payment or
perform any act herein required of Borrower(whether or not Borrower is personally liable therefor)
in any form and manner deemed expedient to Lender. Lender may, but shall not be required to,
complete any unfinished construction, furnishing and equipping of the Improvements and rent,
operate and manage the Premises and such Improvements and pay operating costs and expenses,
including management fees, of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Premises
shall be operational and usable for their intended purposes. All monies paid, and all expenses paid or
incurred in connection therewith (including attorney's fees), and other monies advanced by Lender
to protect the Premises and the lien hereof, or to complete construction, furnishing and equipping or
to rent, operate and manage the Premises or to pay any such operating costs and expenses thereof or
to keep the Premises operational and usable for their intended purpose shall be so much additional
Indebtedness Hereby Secured, whether or not the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, as a result thereof,
shall exceed the face amount of the Note, and shall become immediately due and payable on
demand. Inaction of Lender shall never be considered as a waiver of right accruing to it on account
of any Default nor shall the provisions of this Paragraph or any exercise by Lender of its rights
hereunder prevent any Default from constituting a Default. Lender, in making any payment hereby
authorized (a) relating to Taxes, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate, without
inquiry into the validity of any Tax, assessments, sale, forfeiture,tax lien or title or claim thereof; (b)
for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any lien, may do so without inquiring as to
the validity or amount of any claim for lien which may be asserted; or (c) in connection with the
completion of construction, furnishing or equipping of the Premises or the rental, operation or
management of the Premises or the payment of operating costs and expenses thereof, may do so in
such amounts and to such persons as Lender may deem appropriate. Nothing contained herein shall
be construed to require Lender to advance or expend monies for any purpose mentioned herein,or for
any other purpose.
15. Restrictions on Transfer. Borrower and Title Holder shall not, without the prior written
consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld by Lender for any reason and in its sole and
absolute discretion), create, effect, contract for, consent to, suffer or permit any conveyance, sale,
assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or
any agreement to do any of the foregoing)of the Premises(any one or more of said prohibited actions
being sometimes hereinafter referred to as a "Prohibited Transfer"), excepting only sales or other
dispositions of Collateral (herein called "Obsolete Collateral") no longer useful in connection with
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 16
the operation of the Premises,provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof,such Obsolete
Collateral has been replaced by Collateral of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the
lien hereof with the same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral;in each case whether any
such conveyance, sale,assignment,transfer,lien,pledge,mortgage, security interest,encumbrance or
alienation is effected directly, indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or
otherwise;provided,however,that the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 15 shall not apply(i)to
liens securing the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, (ii) to the lien of current Taxes and assessments not
in default, or (iii) to leases and subleases of the Premises or portions thereof having a duration
(including all renewal options)of less than six (6) years.
16. Defaults. If one or more of the following events (herein called "Defaults") shall occur:
(a) If any default be made in the due and punctual payment of monies required under
the Note or under this Mortgage,as and when the same is due and payable and any applicable
period of grace expressly allowed for the cure of such default in such document shall have
expired;
(b) If any default shall exist under any other document or instrument regulating,
evidencing, securing or guaranteeing any of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured including,but
not limited to, the Loan Agreement, or Loan Document, in each case after the expiration of
any period of grace expressly allowed for the cure of such default in such other document or
instrument;
(c) The occurrence of a Prohibited Transfer;
(d) If any default shall be made in the due and punctual performance or observance
of any other agreement or condition contained in the Mortgage or Note and said default is not
cured within any grace or cure period expressly allowed for the cure of such default;
(e) If:
(i) Borrower shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for arrangement,
reorganization or other relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any
similar law, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect;
(ii) Borrower shall file an answer or other pleading in any proceeding
admitting insolvency,bankruptcy, or inability to pay its debts as they mature;
(iii) Within sixty (60) days after the filing against Borrower of any
involuntary proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or similar law, state or
federal, now or hereafter in effect, such proceedings shall not have been vacated;
(iv) All or a substantial part of Borrower's assets are attached, seized,
subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, unless such attachment,
seizure, writ,warrant or levy is vacated within(60)days;
(v) Borrower shall be adjudicated a bankrupt;
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 17
(vi) Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or shall
consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or liquidator of all or the major part
of its property, or the Premises; or
(vii) Any order appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Borrower is not
vacated within sixty(60) days following the entry thereof;
(f) If Title Holder shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for arrangement,
reorganization or other relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar
law, state or federal, now or hereafter in effect, in any such proceeding the interest of the
Borrower as a contract purchaser of the Premises is terminated.
then Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option and without affecting the lien hereby
created or the priority of said lien or any other right of Lender hereunder, to declare, without further
notice, all Indebtedness Hereby Secured to be immediately due and payable with interest thereon at
the Default Rate specified in the Note, whether or not such Default be thereafter remedied by
Borrower, and Lender may immediately proceed to foreclose this Mortgage and/or to exercise any
right, power or remedy provided by this Mortgage, the Note, the Loan Agreement, or by law or in
equity or any other document or instrument regulating, evidencing, security or guaranteeing any of
the Indebtedness Hereby Secured.
17. Foreclosure. When the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, or any part thereof, shall become
due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Lender shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof in
accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises are located and to exercise any other
remedies of Lender provided in the Note, this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement of which Lender
may have at law,in equity or otherwise. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof,there shall be allowed
and included as additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured in the decree of sale, all expenditures and
expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees) for appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence,
stenographer's charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be
expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and
examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurance with respect to title as Lender
may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at sales which
may be had pursuant to such decree the true conditions of the title to or the value of the Premises. All
expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this Paragraph shall be so much additional
Indebtedness Hereby Secured and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.
18. Right of Possession. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, upon the filing of a
complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, or at any time thereafter, Borrower and Title Holder shall,
forthwith upon demand of Lender (if such demand be made), surrender to Lender, and Lender shall
be entitled to take actual possession of,the Premises or any part thereof,personally or by its agent or
attorneys,and Lender,in its discretion,may enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any
part of the Premises, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Borrower
and Title Holder or the then owner of the Premises relating thereto, and may exclude Borrower and
Title Holder, such owner, and any agents and servants thereof,wholly therefrom and may, on behalf
of Borrower and Title Holder or such owner, or in its own name as Lender and under the powers
herein granted:
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 18
(a) hold,operate,manage, and control all or any part of the Premises and conduct
the business, if any, thereof, either personally or by its agents, with full power to use
such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion may be deemed proper or
necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents,issues,deposits,profits, and
avails of the Premises, including, without limitation, actions for recovery of rent,
actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent;
(b) cancel or terminate any Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises for
any cause or on any ground that would entitle Borrower and Title Holder to cancel the
same;
(c) elect to disaffirm any Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises made
subsequent to this Mortgage without Lender's prior written consent;
(d) extend or modify any then existing Leases and make new Leases of all or any
part of the Premises, which extensions, modifications, and new Leases may provide
for terms to expire,or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire,beyond
the maturity date of the loan evidenced by the Note and the issuance of a deed or deeds
to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that
any such Leases,and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein,shall
be binding upon Borrower and Title Holder, all persons whose interests in the
Premises are subject to the lien hereof, and the purchaser or purchasers at any
foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the
Indebtedness Hereby Secured, satisfaction of any foreclosure decree, or issuance of
any certificate of sale or deed to any such purchaser;
(e) make all necessary or proper repairs, decorations, renewals, replacements,
alterations,additions,betterments,and improvements in connection with the Premises
as may seem reasonably necessary to Lender, to insure and reinsure the Property and
all risks incidental to Lender's possession,operation, and management thereof, and to
receive all rents, issues, deposits,profits, and avails therefrom; and
(f) apply the net income to the payment of taxes, Premiums and other charges
applicable to the Premises, or in reduction of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured, in
such order and manner as Lender shall select.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Lender a mortgagee in possession in the
absence of the actual taking of possession of the Premises.
19. Receiver. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, upon the filing of a complaint to
foreclosure this Mortgage or at any time thereafter, the court in which such complaint is filed may
appoint a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale,without
notice, without regard to solvency or insolvency of Borrower and Title Holder at the time of
application for such receiver, and without regard to the then value of the Premises or whether the
same shall be then occupied as a homestead or not; and Lender hereunder or any employee or agent
thereof may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have the power to collect the rents,
issues and profits of the Premises during the pendency of such foreclosure suit and, in case of a sale
S:\wpdocs\Work`39096\Term Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 19
and deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, whether there be a redemption
or not,as well as during any further times when Borrower,except for the intervention of such receiver,
would be entitled to collection of such rents, issues and profits, and such receiver shall have all other
powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control,
management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. The court may, from
time to time, authorize the receiver to apply the net income from the Premises in payment in whole
or in part of: (a)the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or the indebtedness secured by a decree foreclosing
this Mortgage, or any tax, special assessment, or other lien which may be or become superior to the
lien hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to the foreclosure sale; or (b)
the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.
20. Foreclosure Sale. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Premises shall be distributed
and applied in the following order of priority: first, on account of all costs and expenses incident to
the foreclosure proceedings,including all such items as are mentioned in Paragraph 17 hereof;second,
all other items which, under the terms hereof, constitute Indebtedness Hereby Secured additional to
that evidenced by the Note,with interest on such items as herein provided;third,to interest remaining
unpaid upon the Note; fourth, to the principal remaining unpaid upon the Note; and lastly, any
overplus to Borrower, and its successors or assigns, as their rights may appear. In the event of any
foreclosure sale of said Premises, the same may be sold in one or more parcels. In addition, Lender
may be the purchaser at any foreclosure sale of the Premises or any part thereof.
21. Insurance during Foreclosure. In case of any insured loss after foreclosure proceedings
have been instituted, the proceeds of any Insurance Policy, if not applied in rebuilding or restoring
the Improvements, as aforesaid, shall be used to pay the amount due in accordance with any decree
of foreclosure that may be entered in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid as
the court may direct. In the case of foreclosure of this Mortgage,the court,in its decree,may provide
that the Lender's clause attached to each of the casualty Insurance Policies may be cancelled and that
the decree creditor may cause a new loss clause to be attached to each of said casualty Insurance
Policies making the loss thereunder payable to said decree creditors; and any such foreclosure decree
may further provide that in case of one or more redemptions under said decree,pursuant to the statutes
in such case made and provided, then in every such case, each and every successive redemptor may
cause the preceding loss clause attached to each casualty Insurance Policy to be cancelled and a new
loss payable clause to be attached thereto, making the loss thereunder payable to such redemptor. In
the event of foreclosure sale, Lender is hereby authorized, without the consent of Borrower and Title
Holder,to assign any and all Insurance Policies to the purchaser at the sale,or to take such other steps
as Lender may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of the
Insurance Policies without credit or allowance to Borrower and Title Holder for prepaid Premiums
thereon.
22. Waiver of Right of Redemption and Reinstatement. The Borrower and Title Holder hereby
waive any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this
Mortgage, on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every person, except decree or judgment
creditors of Borrower and Title Holder, acquiring any interest in or title to the Premises subsequent
to the date of this Mortgage.

Lender to amend, modify, extend or release the Note, this Mortgage or any other document or

case without obtaining the consent of the holder of such junior lien and without the lien of this
Mortgage losing its priority over the rights of any such junior lien.

specified in the Note referred to herein, unless said interest rate shall be modified by subsequent
agreement.
28. Subrogation. If any part of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured is used directly or indirectly
to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior lien or encumbrance upon the Premises

other lien or encumbrance and any additional security held by such holder, and shall have the benefit
of the priority of the same.

relating to such loan and the funds received by it. Commencement of disbursement of funds makes this

which Lakeshore Title Agency is unwilling to insure,Escrowee will notify Lender and may discontinue
disbursement until the exception has been disposed of to the satisfaction of Lender and Lakeshore Title
Agency. A mechanics lien claim over which Lakeshore Title Agency is required to insure hereunder does
not warrant discontinuance of disbursements.
C. Escrowee shall not be responsible for any loss of documents or funds while such documents or funds are
not in its custody. Documents or funds deposited in the United States mail, given to a delivery service, or
sent by wire transfer shall not be construed as being in the custody of Escrowee unless and until actually

conformity with originals of all Documents submitted as copies. Furthermore,in making its examination of
S:\wpdocs\Work\39096\Teem Loan From City\Loan Package V6.docx 4
the Documents delivered to it under this Agreement, Escrowee shall be entitled to assume that each entity
and/or person signing on behalf of such entity had full power and authority to enter into and perform all of
its obligations thereunder;and Escrowee shall also be entitled to assume the due authorization by each such
entity of all requisite action and the due execution and delivery of such Documents by each such entity.
H. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
If there be more than one person designated herein,the verbs and pronouns associated therewith, although
expressed in the singular, shall be read and construed as plural. Whenever the masculine gender is used
herein it shall also be read and construed as the feminine, as the case may be. It is mutually agreed and
understood by and between the parties hereto that the agreements herein contained shall extend to and be
