          (l) Trademarks. All tradenames, trademarks, servicemarks, logos,
     copyrights, goodwill, books and records and all other general
     intangibles relating to or used in connection with the operation of
     the Property;

          (m) Accounts. All accounts, accounts receivable, escrows (including,
     without limitation, all escrows, deposits, reserves and impounds
     established pursuant to that certain Escrow Agreement for Reserves and
     Impounds of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender; hereinafter,
     the "ESCROW AGREEMENT"), documents, instruments, chattel paper, claims,
     reserves (including deposits) representations, warranties and general
     intangibles, as one or more of the foregoing terms may be defined in the
     Uniform Commercial Code, and all contract rights, franchises, books,
     records, plans, specifications, permits, licenses (to the extent
     assignable), approvals, actions, choses, claims, suits, proofs of claim in
     bankruptcy and causes of action which now or hereafter relate to, are
     derived from or are used in connection with the Property, or the use,

     "INTANGIBLES"); and

          (n) Other Rights. Any and all other rights of Borrower in and to the
     Property and any accessions, renewals, replacements and substitutions of
     all or any portion of the Property and all proceeds derived from the sale,
     transfer, assignment or financing of the Property or any portion thereof.

          (o) Pursuant to the provisions of Ohio Revised Code Section 5301.232,
     this Security Instrument shall secure unpaid balances of loan advances or
     future advances made by Lender, its successors and assigns, after this
     Security Instrument is delivered to the Cuyahoga County Recorder for record
     to the extent that such unpaid balances or future advances, in the
     aggregate and exclusive of interest accrued thereon, do not exceed the
     maximum principal amount of Twenty Four Million Five Hundred Thousand and
     00/100 Dollars ($24,500,000.00) at any time.

     1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns to Lender Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all current and
future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower that this assignment
constitutes a present, absolute and unconditional assignment and not an
assignment for additional security




                                     Page 9

only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 1.2 and the terms and
conditions of that certain Assignment of Rents and Leases, of even date herewith
between Borrower and Lender, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to
collect and receive the Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion
thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the
payment of such sums.

     1.3 DEFINITION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. For purposes of this Security
Instrument, the Property identified in Subsections 1.1(d) through 1.1(n),
inclusive, shall be collectively referred to herein as the "PERSONAL PROPERTY."

     1.4 PLEDGE OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all
monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, any sums
deposited in the Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), all insurance
proceeds described in Section 3.2 and condemnation awards or payments described
in Section 3.4, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or
applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

                              CONDITIONS TO GRANT

     TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to
the use and benefit of Lender, and the successors and assigns of Lender,
forever;

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if
Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided in the Note, the Future Advance Note and this Security
Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in
this Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each
and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note and the Future
Advance Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease,
terminate and be void; provided however, that Borrower's obligation to indemnify
and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof with respect to
matters relating to any period of time during which this Security Instrument was
in effect shall survive any such payment or release.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                   ----------
                          DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED
                          ----------------------------

     2.1 DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and
transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the following,
in such order of priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion (the
"DEBT"):

          (a) the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the
     Future Advance Note in lawful money of the United States of America;

          (b) the payment of interest, default interest, late charges and other
     sums, as provided in the Note, the Future Advance Note, this Security
     Instrument or the Other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined);

          (c) the payment of all other moneys agreed or provided to be paid by
     Borrower in the Note, the Future Advance Note, this Security Instrument or
     the Other Loan Documents;

          (d) the payment of all sums advanced pursuant to this Security
     Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the




                                    Page 10
<PAGE>   11
     security interest created hereby; and

          (e) the payment of all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred
     by Lender in connection with the Debt or any part thereof, any renewal,
     extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof,
     or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or
     incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender.

     2.2 OTHER OBLIGATIONS. This Security Instrument and the grants,
assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are also given for the purpose
of securing the following (the "OTHER OBLIGATIONS"):

          (a) the performance of all other obligations of Borrower
     contained herein;

          (b) the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any
     other agreement given by Borrower to Lender which is for the purpose of
     further securing the obligations secured hereby, and any amendments,
     modifications and changes thereto; and

          (c) the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any
     renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or
     substitution or replacement for, all or any part of the Note, the Future
     Advance Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents.

     2.3 DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Borrower's obligations for the payment
of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred
to collectively herein as the "OBLIGATIONS."

     2.4 PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required amount in
immediately available funds at the place where the Note is payable, remittances
in payment of all or any part of the Debt shall not, regardless of any receipt
or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is
actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where
the Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion,
may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and
shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may
be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank
or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount
then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay
the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined).

                                  ARTICLE III
                                  -----------
                               BORROWER COVENANTS
                               ------------------

     Borrower covenants and agrees that:

     3.1 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All the covenants, conditions and
agreements contained in (a) the Note and the Future Advance Note, and (b) all
and any of the documents other than the Note, the Future Advance Note or this
Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by
or in favor of Lender in connection with the creation of the Obligations, the
payment of any other sums owed by Borrower to Lender or the performance of any
Obligations (collectively the "OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS"), are hereby made a part of
this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully
set forth herein. The term "LOAN DOCUMENTS" as used herein shall individually
and collectively refer to the

Note, the Future Advance Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan
Documents; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this
Security Instrument to the contrary, the Obligations of the indemnitor(s) under
that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith executed by
Borrower and First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments, an Ohio
business trust (whether one or more, "INDEMNITOR") in favor of Lender (the
"ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY") shall not be deemed or construed to be secured by
this Security Instrument or otherwise restricted or affected by the foreclosure
of the lien hereof or any other exercise by Lender of its remedies hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, such Environmental Indemnity being intended by
the signatories thereto to be its (or their) unsecured obligation.

     3.2 INSURANCE.
         ---------

          (a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, and shall pay all premiums in
     accordance with Subsection 3.2(b) below for, insurance for Borrower and the
     Property providing at least the following coverages:

               i. comprehensive all risk insurance (including, without
               limitation, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious
               mischief, water, fire, burglary and theft) on the Improvements
               and the Personal Property and in each case (A) in an amount equal
               to the lesser of the principal balance of the Note and the Future
               Advance Note or 100% of the "FULL REPLACEMENT COST", which for
               purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual
               replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations,
               foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of
               depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with
               respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all
               co-insurance provisions; (C) providing that the deductible shall
               not exceed $25,000.00; and (D) containing Demolition Costs,
               Increased Cost of Construction and "Ordinance or Law Coverage" or
               "Enforcement" endorsements if any of the Improvements or the use
               of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming
               structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is
               restricted or prohibited. The Full Replacement Cost may be
               redetermined from time to time by an appraiser or contractor
               designated and paid by Lender or by an engineer or appraiser in
               the regular employ of the insurer. No omission on the part of
               Lender to request any such appraisals shall relieve Borrower of
               any of its obligations under this Subsection;

               ii. comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for
               personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage
               occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to
               be on the so-called "OCCURRENCE" form with a combined single
               limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 and not less than
               $3,000,000.00 if the Property has one or more elevators, as well
               as liquor liability insurance in a minimum amount of
               $2,000,000.00 if any part of the Property is covered by a liquor
               license; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit
               until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of
               changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate;
               (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and
               operations; (2) products and completed operations on an "if any"
               basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual
               liability for all written and oral contracts; (5) contractual
               liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 11




                                    Page 12

               hereof to the extent the same is available; and (D) to be without
               deductible;

               iii. business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender;
               (B) covering losses of income and Rents derived from the Property
               and any non-insured property on or adjacent to the Property
               resulting from any risk or casualty whatsoever; (C) containing an
               extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that
               after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property
               has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured
               until such income either returns to the same level it was at
               prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from
               the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding
               that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and
               (D) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from
               the Property for a period of twelve (12) months. The amount of
               such business income insurance shall be determined by Lender
               prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter
               based on Borrower's reasonable estimate of the gross income from
               the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All
               insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection
               3.2(a) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the
               obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable
               hereunder and under the Note and the Future Advance Note;
               provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed
               to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations
               secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for
               in the Note and the Future Advance Note except to the extent such
               amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business
               income insurance;

               iv. at all times during which structural construction, repairs or
               alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements: (A)
               owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering
               claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the
               above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy;
               and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i)
               written in a so-called builder's risk completed value form (1) on
               a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against
               pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a)(i), (3) including permission to
               occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement
               waiving co-insurance provisions;

               v. workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the
               state in which the Property is located, and employer's liability
               insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and
               per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for disease aggregate
               in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or
               in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

               vi. if required by Lender, and if available in the area
               where the Property is located, earthquake or sinkhole
               insurance in the amount reasonably required by Lender;

               vii. comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without
               exclusion for explosion), if applicable, in amounts as shall be
               reasonably required by Lender and covering all boilers or other
               pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at or about the
               Property (including, without limitation,




                                    Page 13
<PAGE>   14


               electrical equipment, sprinkler systems, heating and air
               conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment and piping);

               viii. flood hazard insurance if any portion of the Improvements
               is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally
               designated "special flood hazard area," flood hazard insurance in
               an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal
               balance of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (b) the Full
               Replacement Cost, or (c) the maximum amount of such insurance
               available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the
               Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood
               Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and

               ix. such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time
               to time may reasonably request against such other insurable
               hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for
               property similar to the Property located in or around the region
               in which the Property is located, including, without limitation,
               earthquake insurance (in the event the Property is located in an
               area with a high degree of seismic activity), mine subsidence
               insurance and environmental insurance.

          (b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be
     obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "POLICIES" or in the
     singular, the "POLICY"), in such forms and, from time to time after the
     date hereof, in such amounts as may from time to time be satisfactory to
     Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies
     authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located as
     admitted or unadmitted carriers which, in either case, have been approved
     by Lender and which have a general policy rating of A- or better and a
     financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Co. or claims paying ability
     rating of A or better issued by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (each such
     insurer shall be referred to below as a "QUALIFIED INSURER"). Such Policies
     shall not be subject to invalidation due to the use or occupancy of the
     Property for purposes more hazardous than the use of the Property at the
     time such Policies were issued. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
     expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant
     to Subsection 3.2(a), certified copies of the Policies marked "premium
     paid" or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
     premiums due thereunder (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"), shall be delivered by
     Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal
     Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed
     by the original Policies when issued.

          (c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) separate insurance concurrent in
     form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection
     3.2(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be
     furnished by, Borrower, or (ii) any umbrella or blanket liability or
     casualty Policy unless, in each case, Lender's interest is included therein
     as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a
     Qualified Insurer. If Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or
     a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause
     certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection
     3.2(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the
     Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and
     shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy
     insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection
     3.2(a).

          (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by




                                    Page 14
<PAGE>   15


     Subsection 3.2(a) shall name Lender, its successors and assigns, including
     any servicers, trustees or other designees of Lender, and Borrower as the
     insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear,
     and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood
     insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing
     Lender clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall
     be payable to Lender.

          (e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) shall
     contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

               i. no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for
               Borrower, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or
               failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might
               otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part
               thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability
               of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

               ii. the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to
               increase the coverage provided on the Property thereby) or
               canceled without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice
               to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured;

               iii. each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof
               shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not
               been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

               iv. Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums
               thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

          (f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender within ten (10) calendar days
     after Lender's request therefor, a statement certified by Borrower or a
     duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained
     in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the
     insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested
     by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent
     insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.

          (g) if at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that
     all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall
     have the right but not the obligation, without notice to Borrower, to take
     such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
     Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance
     coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all
     expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining
     such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
     upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and
     shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined).

          (h) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in
     part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof
     to Lender.

               i. In case of loss covered by Policies, Lender may either (1)
               settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower;
               provided, however, Lender shall endeavor to provide prior written
               notice to Borrower of a settlement or adjustment of any claim,
               but Lender's right to settle or adjust any claim shall not be
               limited by providing (or




                                    Page 15

               failing to provide) such notice, or (2) allow Borrower to agree
               with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid
               upon the loss; provided, that Borrower may adjust losses
               aggregating not in excess of $250,000.00 if such adjustment is
               carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided that
               in any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and
               receive any such insurance proceeds; and the reasonable expenses
               incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
               proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and
               shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand (unless
               deducted by and reimbursed to Lender from such proceeds).

               ii. In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of the
               Property or any part thereof (herein called an "INSURED
               CASUALTY"), if (A) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
               Property can be restored within six (6) months after insurance
               proceeds are made available (or twelve (12) months after
               insurance proceeds are made available if Borrower has in place at
               the time of the Insured Casualty business income insurance
               [described in Section 3.2(a)(iii) hereof] covering loss of income
               for an eighteen (18) month period) to an economic unit not less
               valuable (including an assessment by Lender of the impact of the
               termination of any Leases due to such Insured Casualty) and not
               less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and
               after such restoration will, at a minimum, secure the outstanding
               balance of the Debt at the loan to value ratio that existed on
               the date of this Security Instrument, and (B) no Event of Default
               (hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be then continuing,
               then the proceeds of insurance shall be applied to reimburse
               Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or
               rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to Insured
               Casualty, as provided below; and Borrower hereby covenants and
               agrees forthwith to commence and diligently to prosecute such
               restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, however,
               in any event Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by
               Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in
               advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in
               excess of the net proceeds of insurance made available pursuant
               to the terms hereof.

               iii. Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance
               collected upon any Insured Casualty shall, at the option of
               Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the
               Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring,
               repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof
               subject to the Insured Casualty, in the manner set forth below.
               Any such application to the Debt shall not be considered a
               voluntary prepayment requiring payment of the prepayment
               consideration provided in the Note or the Future Advance Note
               (except that if an Event of Default has occurred, then such
               application shall be subject to the full prepayment consideration
               computed in accordance with the Note and the Future Advance
               Note), and shall not reduce or postpone any payments otherwise
               required pursuant to the Note or the Future Advance Note, other
               than the final payment on the Note and the Future Advance Note.

               iv. If proceeds of insurance, if any, are made available to
               Borrower for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of
               the Property, Borrower hereby covenants to




                                    Page 16
<PAGE>   17


               restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least
               equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to
               such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with
               applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance
               by Lender.

               v. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance
               proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from
               time to time upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence
               satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection[s] of
               the work performed) that the restoration, repair, replacement and
               rebuilding covered by the disbursement has been completed in
               accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender, (2)
               evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion
               of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3)
               funds, or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender
               that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the
               proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed restoration,
               repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architect's
               certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements,
               title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such
               other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may
               reasonably require and approve; and Lender may, in any event,
               require that all plans and specifications for such restoration,
               repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved
               by Lender prior to commencement of work. With respect to
               disbursements to be made by Lender: (A) 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; (B) funds other than proceeds
               of insurance (representing the restoration costs, if any, not
               covered by insurance) shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of
               such proceeds; and (C) at all times, the undisbursed balance of
               such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with
               funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the
               satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that
               purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment
               of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration,
               repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or
               claims for lien and the costs described in Subsection 3.2(h)(vi)
               below. 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 any party
               entitled thereto. In no event shall Lender assume any duty or
               obligation for the adequacy, form or content of any such plans
               and specifications, nor for the performance, quality or
               workmanship of any restoration, repair, replacement and
               rebuilding.

               vi. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
               the proceeds of insurance reimbursed to Borrower in accordance
               with the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument shall
               be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Lender in
               the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs
               incurred by Lender of paying out such proceeds (including,
               without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and usual and
               customary costs paid to third parties for inspecting the
               restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding and reviewing the
               plans and specifications therefor).

     3.3 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC.
         ----------------------

          (a) Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer
     rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without
     limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes
     and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed
     or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the "TAXES"), all
     ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter
     levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the
     "OTHER CHARGES"), and all charges for utility services provided to the
     Property as same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to Lender,
     promptly upon Lender's request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
     Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are
     not then delinquent. Borrower shall not allow and shall promptly cause to
     be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become
     a lien or charge against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient
     to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in
     accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall
     furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other
     Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.

          (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own
     expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated
     and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity
     or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i)
     no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, the
     Future Advance Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Loan
     Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any
     other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the
     Property, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes
     from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the
     Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be
     conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to
     which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder,
     (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
     in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (vi)
     Borrower shall have set aside and deposited with Lender adequate reserves
     for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties
     thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes under protest, and (vii)
     Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the
     proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment of any
     contested Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

     3.4 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual
or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and
shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with
such proceedings. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain
and, upon prior written notice to Borrower, to make any compromise or settlement
in connection with such proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Security
Instrument; provided, however, that Borrower reserves the right to make any
compromise or settlement in connection with any such proceeding for awards or
payments aggregating not in excess of $250,000.00 if such compromise or
settlement is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided that in
any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such
award or payment. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through




                                    Page 18
<PAGE>   19


eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in
lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall
continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced
until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and
applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the
reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest
paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive
out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.
Borrower shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent
domain proceeding, which is payable to Borrower, to be paid directly to Lender.
Lender may apply any award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt
whether or not then due and payable (such application to be free from any
prepayment consideration provided in the Note or the Future Advance Note, except
that if an Event of Default, or an event which with notice and/or the passage of
time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred, then such
application shall be subject to the full prepayment consideration computed in
accordance with the Note and the Future Advance Note). If the Property is sold,
through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or
payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on
the Note or the Future Advance Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the
Debt.

     3.5 USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to
be maintained and operated in a good and safe condition and repair and in
keeping with the condition and repair of properties of a similar use, value,
age, nature and construction. Borrower shall not use, maintain or operate the
Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which
makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance
then in force with respect thereto. The Improvements and the Personal Property
shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal
replacement of the Personal Property with items of the same utility and of equal
or greater value) without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall,
with all diligent speed, repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property
which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated
or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in
Section 3.4 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in
the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate,
join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive
covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If
under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property
is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the
nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written
consent of Lender. Borrower shall not take any steps whatsoever to convert the
Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of
management.

     3.6 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property
or, without first obtaining such additional insurance as may be necessary to
cover a proposed change in use of the Property, make any change in the use of
the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other
hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that
might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit
to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property
or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or
extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the
subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining
or




                                    Page 19
<PAGE>   20


extraction thereof.

     3.7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; ALTERATIONS.
         ---------------------------------

          (a) Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future
     federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and
     regulations or court orders affecting or which may be interpreted to affect
     the Property, or the use thereof, including, but not limited to, the
     Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") (collectively "APPLICABLE
     LAWS").

          (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document
     regarding Lender's approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall
     not alter the Property in any manner which would increase Borrower's
     responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior
     written approval of Lender. Lender's approval of the plans, specifications,
     or working drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no
     responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness,
     design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Laws. The foregoing
     shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its
     tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a
     certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent
     architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender; provided,
     however, Lender's approval shall not be required for non-structural
     alterations in connection with tenant finish work.

          (c) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by
     Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of
     the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to
     compliance with Applicable Laws.

          (d) Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent and will not
     engage in or knowingly permit any illegal activities at the Property.

     3.8 BOOKS AND RECORDS.
         -----------------

          (a) Borrower shall keep accurate books and records of account in
     accordance with sound accounting principles in which full, true and correct
     entries shall be promptly made with respect to Borrower, the Property and
     the operation thereof, and will permit all such books and records
     (including without limitation all contracts, statements, invoices, bills
     and claims for labor, materials and services supplied for the construction,
     repair or operation to Borrower of the Improvements) to be inspected or
     audited and copies made by Lender and its representatives during normal
     business hours and at any other reasonable times; provided, however, if no
     Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall provide
     written notice to Borrower prior to inspecting or auditing such books and
     records. Borrower represents that its chief executive office is as set
     forth in the introductory paragraph of this Security Instrument and that
     all books and records pertaining to the Property are maintained at the
     Property or such other location as may be expressly disclosed to Lender in
     writing. Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or
     before forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter
     the following items, each certified by Borrower as being true and correct,
     in such format and in such detail as Lender or its servicer may request:

               i. a written statement (rent roll) dated as of the last day




                                    Page 20
<PAGE>   21


               of each such calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases by
               the term, space occupied, rental required to be paid (including
               percentage rents and tenant sales), security deposit paid, any
               rental concessions, all rent escalations, any rents paid more
               than one (1) month in advance, any special provisions or
               inducements granted to tenants, any taxes, maintenance and other
               common charges paid by tenants, all vacancies and identifying any
               defaults or payment delinquencies thereunder; and

               ii. quarterly and year-to-date operating statements prepared for
               each calendar quarter during each such reporting period detailing
               the total revenues received, total expenses incurred, total cost
               of all capital improvements, total debt service and total cash
               flow.

          (b) Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days following the end of
     each calendar year, Borrower shall furnish a statement of the financial
     affairs and condition of the Borrower and the Property including a
     statement of profit and loss for the Property in such format and in such
     detail as Lender or its servicer may request, and setting forth the
     financial condition and the income and expenses for the Property for the
     immediately preceding calendar year prepared and audited by an independent
     certified public accountant. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all
     income tax returns, requests for extension and other similar items
     contemporaneously with its delivery of same to the Internal Revenue
     Service.

          (c) Borrower will permit representatives appointed by Lender,
     including independent accountants, agents, attorneys, appraisers and any
     other persons, to visit and inspect during its normal business hours and at
     any other reasonable times any of the Property and to make photographs
     thereof, and to write down and record any information such representatives
     obtain, and shall permit Lender or its representatives to investigate and
     verify the accuracy of the information furnished to Lender under or in
     connection with this Security Instrument or any of the Other Loan Documents
     and to discuss all such matters with its officers, employees and
     representatives. Borrower will furnish to Lender at Borrower's expense all
     evidence which Lender may from time to time reasonably request as to the
     accuracy and validity of or compliance with all representations and
     warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents and satisfaction of all
     conditions contained therein. Any inspection or audit of the Property or
     the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and
     financial and other information, by or on behalf of Lender, shall be for
     Lender's protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of
     responsibility or liability by Lender to Borrower or anyone else with
     regard to the condition, construction, maintenance or operation of the
     Property, nor Lender's approval of any certification given to Lender nor
     relieve Borrower of any of Borrower's obligations.

     3.9 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. Borrower will promptly pay when due
all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials
incurred in connection with the Property and never permit to exist beyond any
default, notice and grace periods in respect of the Property or any part thereof
any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the
security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to exist beyond any
default, notice and grace periods in respect of the Property or any part thereof
any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or
security interests hereof, except for the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter
defined).

     3.10 PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform
each and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the
terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the
Property, or given by Borrower to Lender for the purpose of further securing an
obligation secured hereby and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

     3.11 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PARKING GARAGE. (a) Prior to closing the existing
parking garage (the "EXISTING GARAGE") located on the Land or commencing any
renovations which would interfere with parking in the Existing Garage, Borrower
shall (i) complete construction of a new parking garage (the "NEW GARAGE") to
serve, at least, (A) the employees and visitors of the tenants occupying the
existing office building located upon the Land and (B) the employees of the
Borrower or Manager who regularly manage and maintain the existing office
building and (ii) cause the owner of the land upon which the New Garage is
located to grant an appurtenant easement (the "PARKING EASEMENT") to the
Borrower, which Parking Easement shall (A) permit pedestrian access from the
existing office building located upon the Land to the New Garage, (B) provide
exclusive rights to, at a minimum, the number of parking spaces required by
Leases in existence at the time the Parking Easement is entered into and (C) be
approved by Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender shall have the
right to require an endorsement to the Lender's loan policy of title insurance
updating the effective date of such title policy and adding the Parking Easement
as an insured appurtenant easement. All costs and expenses in connection with
the requirements of this Section 3.11 (including, without limitation, the cost

     this Security Instrument, or the Other Loan Documents, or imposes any other
     tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay the same, with interest and
     penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it

     shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90)
     calendar days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

          (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or
     credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges
     assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall
     otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
     any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security
     Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be
     required by law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not
     less than ninety (90) calendar days, to declare the Debt immediately due
     and payable.

     7.4 CONFIRMATION STATEMENT.
         ----------------------

          (a) After request by Lender, Borrower, within ten (10) days, shall
     furnish Lender or any proposed assignee with a statement, duly acknowledged
     and certified, confirming to Lender (or its designee) (i) the amount of the
     original principal amount of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (ii) the
     unpaid principal amount of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (iii) the
     rate of interest of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (iv) the terms of
     payment and maturity date of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (v) the
     date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, and (vi)
     that, except as provided in such statement, there are, to the best
     knowledge of Borrower, no defaults or, to the best knowledge of Borrower,
     events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both,
     would constitute an event of default under the Note, the Future Advance
     Note or this Security Instrument; provided, however, Lender shall not be
     entitled hereunder to receive more than one (1) such statement in each
     calendar year.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of the Leases, Borrower shall deliver to
     Lender, promptly upon request (but not more frequently than once annually
     so long as no Event of Default exists), duly executed estoppel certificates
     from any one or more lessees as required by Lender attesting to such facts
     regarding the Lease as Lender may require, including but not limited to
     attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect
     with no defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the
     Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, and that the lessee
     claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its
     obligations under the Lease.

          (c) Upon any transfer or proposed transfer contemplated by Section
     16.1 hereof, at Lender's request, Borrower, any Guarantors and any
     Indemnitors shall provide an estoppel certificate to the Investor (defined
     in Section 16.1) or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and
     detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may reasonably
     require.

     7.5 SPLITTING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT. This Security Instrument, the Note
and the Future Advance Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully
paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two
or more notes and two or more security instruments, each




                                    Page 30
<PAGE>   31


of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly
described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or its designee or
designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts,
aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of Debt, and
containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to those contained herein and
in the Note, the Future Advance Note and such other documents and instruments as
may be required by Lender.

     7.6 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of
Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, the Future
Advance Note or any Other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in
the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note,
Future Advance Note or Other Loan Document, Borrower, at its expense, will
issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, Future Advance Note or Other Loan
Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note,
Future Advance Note or Other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof
and otherwise of like tenor.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  ------------
                            DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
                            -----------------------

     8.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and
relied on the creditworthiness of Borrower and experience of Borrower and its
general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial
owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to
make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property
as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of
the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as
to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the
performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of
the Property.

     8.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE.
         -------------------

          (a) Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not, without the prior written
     consent of Lender, sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber,
     pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or any part thereof or
     permit the Property or any part thereof to be sold, conveyed, mortgaged,
     granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
     transferred. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual
     impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
     order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower's sale,
     conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or
     transfer of the Property without Lender's consent.

          (b) Subsection 8.2(a) shall apply to: (i) an installment sales
     agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof
     for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Borrower
     leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
     occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other
     transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right,
     title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if Borrower,
     Guarantor, or any general partner, manager or managing member of Borrower
     or Guarantor is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or the voluntary
     or involuntary sale, conveyance or transfer of such corporation's stock (or
     the stock of any




                                    Page 31
<PAGE>   32


     corporation directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by
     operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new stock in
     one or a series of transactions by which an aggregate of forty nine percent
     (49%) or more of such corporation's stock shall be vested in a party or
     parties who are not now stockholders (provided, however, in no event shall
     this subpart [iii] apply to any Guarantor whose stock, shares or
     partnership interests are traded on a nationally recognized stock
     exchange); (iv) if Borrower, Guarantor, or any general partner of Borrower
     or Guarantor is a limited liability company or limited partnership, the
     voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance or transfer by which an aggregate
     of forty-nine percent (49%) or more of the ownership interest in such
     limited liability company or forty-nine percent (49%) or more of the
     limited partnership interests in such limited partnership shall be vested
     in parties not having an ownership interest as of the date of this Security
     Instrument; and (v) if Borrower, any Guarantor or any general partner of
     Borrower or any Guarantor is a limited or general partnership or joint
     venture, the change, removal or resignation of a general partner, managing
     partner or joint venturer or the transfer of all or any portion of the
     partnership interest of any general partner, managing partner or joint
     venturer.

     8.3 EXCLUDED AND PERMITTED TRANSFERS.
         --------------------------------

          (a) A sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
     transfer within the meaning of this Article 8 shall not include (i)
     transfers otherwise by operation of law in the event of a bankruptcy, or
     (ii) a Lease of a portion of the Property to a space tenant.

          (b) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (c) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (d) [Intentionally Omitted]

     8.4 NO IMPLIED FUTURE CONSENT. Lender's consent to one sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of Lender's right to require such consent to any future
occurrence of same. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Property made in contravention of this Article 8 shall
be null and void and of no force and effect.

     8.5 COSTS OF CONSENT. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse
Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all
recording costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and title search
costs) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and
documentation of any such sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer.

     8.6 CONTINUING SEPARATENESS REQUIREMENTS. In no event shall any of the
terms and provisions of this Article 8 amend or modify the terms and
provisions contained in Section 4.3 herein.

     alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements
     without the prior consent of Lender;

          (i) damage to the Property in any manner which is not covered by
     insurance, which lack of coverage arises solely as a result of Borrower's
     failure to maintain the insurance required under this Security Instrument;

          (j) without Lender's prior consent, (i) the Manager under the
     Management Agreement resigns or is removed and is not replaced within
     thirty (30) days of such resignation or removal; provided, however, Lender
     shall have the right to approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed) any new property manager and any new property
     management agreement, and as a condition to Lender's approval, such
     property manager shall execute and deliver a lien waiver and subordination

     day period and Borrower (or such Guarantor or Indemnitor as the case may
     be) shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30)
     calendar day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to
     cure the same, such thirty (30) calendar day period shall be extended for
     so long as it shall require Borrower (or such Guarantor or Indemnitor as
     the case may be) in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, it
     being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of
     ninety (90) calendar days after the notice from Lender referred to above;

                              RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
                              -------------------

     10.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees
that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the
Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which
may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:

          (a) Right to Perform Borrower's Covenants. If Borrower has failed to
     keep or perform any covenant whatsoever contained in this Security
     Instrument or the Other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall not be
     obligated to any person to do so, perform or attempt to perform said
     covenant and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or
     attempted performance of any such covenant, together with any sum expended
     by Lender that is chargeable to Borrower or subject to reimbursement by
     Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be and become a part of the
     "DEBT", and Borrower promises, upon demand, to pay to Lender, at the place
     where the Note is payable, all sums so incurred, paid or expended by
     Lender, with interest from the date when paid, incurred or expended by
     Lender at the Default Rate.

          (b) Right of Entry. Lender may, prior or subsequent to the institution
     of any foreclosure proceedings, enter upon the Property, or any part
     thereof, and take exclusive possession of the Property and of all books,
     records, and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference
     from Borrower any and all rights which Borrower has with respect to the
     management, possession, operation, protection, or preservation of the
     Property, including without limitation the right to rent the same for the
     account of Borrower and to deduct from such Rents all costs, expenses, and
     liabilities of every character




                                    Page 35
<PAGE>   36


     incurred by Lender in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating,
     maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property and to apply the
     remainder of such Rents on the Debt in such manner as Lender may elect. All
     such costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Lender in collecting such
     Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving
     the Property, if not paid out of Rents as hereinabove provided, shall
     constitute a demand obligation owing by Borrower and shall bear interest
     from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which
     shall constitute a portion of the Debt. If necessary to obtain the
     possession provided for above, Lender may invoke any and all legal remedies
     to dispossess Borrower, including specifically one or more actions for
     forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title, and restitution. In
     connection with any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Subsection
     10.1(b), Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower
     resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or
     from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property unless
     such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Lender, nor shall Lender
     be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability
     under any Lease or under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or
     remedies hereunder. Borrower shall and does hereby agree to indemnify
     Lender for, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all liability, loss,
     or damage, which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or
     under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder,
     and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted
     against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its
     part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements
     contained in any such Lease. Should Lender incur any such liability, the
     amount thereof, including without limitation costs, expenses, and
     reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon from the date of
     expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, shall be secured hereby, and
     Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor immediately upon demand. Nothing
     in this Subsection 10.1(b) shall impose any duty, obligation, or
     responsibility upon Lender for the control, care, management, leasing, or
     repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and
     conditions of any such Lease; nor shall it operate to make Lender
     responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the
     tenants or by any other parties, or for any hazardous substances or
     environmental conditions on or under the Property, or for any dangerous or
     defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the
     management, leasing, upkeep, repair, or control of the Property resulting
     in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, or stranger.
     Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies, and confirms any and all actions of
     Lender with respect to the Property taken under this subsection.

          (c) Right to Accelerate. Lender may, without notice (except as
     provided in Section 9.1(p) above), demand, presentment, notice of
     nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent
     to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice or any other
     action, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower and all other parties
     obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Debt, declare the entire unpaid
     balance of the Debt immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration,
     the entire unpaid balance of the Debt shall be immediately due and payable.

          (d) Foreclosure-Power of Sale. Lender may institute a proceeding or
     proceedings, judicial, or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for
     the complete or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the
     complete or partial sale of the Property under power of sale or under any
     applicable provision of law. Lender may sell the Property, and all estate,
     right, title, interest, claim and demand of




                                    Page 36
<PAGE>   37


     Borrower therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more
     sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with such elements of real and/or
     personal property, and at such time and place and upon such terms as it may
     deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law, and in the event
     of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property,
     this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on
     the remaining portion of the Property.

          (e) Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the requirements of
     applicable law and except as otherwise provided herein, the following
     provisions shall apply to any sale or sales of all or any portion of the
     Property under or by virtue of Subsection 10.1(d) above, whether made under
     the power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of
     a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:

               i. Lender may conduct any number of sales from time to time. The
               power of sale set forth above shall not be exhausted by any one
               or more such sales as to any part of the Property which shall not
               have been sold, nor by any sale which is not completed or is
               defective in Lender's opinion, until the Debt shall have been
               paid in full.

               ii. Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement
               at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such
               postponed or adjourned sale without further notice.

               iii. After each sale, Lender or an officer of any court empowered
               to do so shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers
               at such sale a good and sufficient instrument or instruments
               granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all right, title
               and interest of Borrower in and to the property and rights sold
               and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply
               the same as specified in the Note and the Future Advance Note.
               Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact
               of Borrower, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed
               to be coupled with an interest, in Borrower's name and stead, to
               make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and
               deliveries of the property and rights so sold, Borrower hereby
               ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or such
               substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof.
               Nevertheless, Borrower, if requested by Lender, shall ratify and
               confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to
               Lender or such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as
               may be advisable, in Lender's judgment, for the purposes as may
               be designated in such request.

               iv. Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any
               of the instruments referred to in Subsection 10.1(e)(iii) given
               by Lender shall be taken as conclusive and binding against all
               persons as to evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and
               recited.

               v. Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the
               estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
               whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties
               and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and
               in equity against Borrower and any and all persons claiming or
               who may claim the same, or any part thereof or any interest
               therein, by, through or under Borrower to the fullest extent
               permitted by applicable law.

               vi. Upon any such sale or sales, Lender may bid for and acquire
               the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
               settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Debt
               the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom
               the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding
               hereunder, and any other sums which Lender is authorized to
               deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy
               such bid.

               vii. Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Lender or
               any public officer acting under execution or order of court to
               have present or constructively in its possession any of the
               Property.

          (f) Lender's Judicial Remedies. Lender may proceed by suit or suits,
     at law or in equity, to enforce the payment of the Debt to foreclose the
     liens and security interests of this Security Instrument as against all or
     any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold
     under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
     remedy shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial remedies available to
     Lender under this Security Instrument, the Note, the Future Advance Note or
     the Other Loan Documents. Proceeding with a request or receiving a judgment
     for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or
     bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Lender.

          (g) Lender's Right to Appointment of Receiver. Lender, as a matter of
     right and (i) without regard to the sufficiency of the security for
     repayment of the Debt and without notice to Borrower, (ii) without any
     showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement on the part of Borrower,
     (iii) without the necessity of filing any judicial or other proceeding
     other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, and (iv) without
     regard to the then value of the Property, shall be entitled to the
     appointment of a receiver or receivers for the protection, possession,
     control, management and operation of the Property, including (without
     limitation), the power to collect the Rents, enforce this Security
     Instrument and, in case of a sale 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. Borrower
     hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of a receiver or receivers.
     Any receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall
     have the usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.

          (h) Commercial Code Remedies. Exercise any and all rights and remedies
     granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,
     including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right
     to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to
     take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care,
     protection and preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request
     Borrower at its expense to assemble the Personal Property and make it
     available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any notice
     of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the
     Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof
     at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially
     reasonable notice to Borrower.

          (i) Apply Escrow Funds. Lender may apply any Funds (as defined in the
     Escrow Agreement) and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender
     in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or




                                    Page 38
<PAGE>   39


     any Other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order
     in its uncontrolled discretion:

               i. Taxes and Other Charges;

               ii. Insurance Premiums;

               iii. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note
               and the Future Advance Note;

               iv. Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note
               and the Future Advance Note; and

               v. All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Future
               Advance Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan
               Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender
               pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument.

          (j) Other Rights. Lender (i) may surrender the Policies maintained
     pursuant to this Security Instrument or any part thereof, and upon receipt
     shall apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Debt, and, in
     connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and
     attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore
     irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such premiums; and (ii) may apply the
     Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and/or
     the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and any
     other funds held by Lender toward payment of the Debt; and (iii) shall have
     and may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Lender may
     have at law or in equity, or by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, or
     otherwise.

          (k) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case Lender shall have proceeded to
     invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents
     and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason,
     Lender shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event,
     Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with
     respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the
     rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if same
     had never been invoked.

          (l) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of Lender
     granted in the Note, the Future Advance Note, this Security Instrument and
     the Other Loan Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise
     available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii)
     may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Borrower,
     the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender;
     (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being
     agreed by Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same
     shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any
     other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not
     be conditioned upon Lender exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to
     the Property prior to Lender bringing suit to recover the Debt; and (vi) in
     the event Lender elects to bring suit on the Debt and obtains a judgment
     against Borrower prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the
     Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this
     Security Instrument, shall remain in full force and effect and may be
     exercised thereafter at Lender's option.

          (m) Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any
     portion thereof or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy
     estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency




                                    Page 39
<PAGE>   40


     proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in addition to
     all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under this Security
     Instrument, to obtain (i) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other
     appropriate court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay
     pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code so to permit Lender to
     pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided under this
     Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and
     in equity under applicable state law, and (ii) an order from the Bankruptcy
     Court prohibiting Borrower's use of all "cash collateral" as defined under
     Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with such Bankruptcy
     Court orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or
     petition filed in any court proceeding that Lender does not have sufficient
     grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or
     other action taken by the Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender
     from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad
     faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would have just cause for
     relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized
     under state law.

          (n) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or
     other disposition made pursuant to this Security Instrument, or the
     proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant hereto, or
     any Rents collected by Lender from the Property, or the Funds (as defined
     in the Escrow Agreement) or proceeds from insurance which Lender elects to
     apply to the Debt pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by Lender
     to the Debt in the following order and priority: (1) to the payment of all
     expenses of advertising, selling, and conveying the Property or part
     thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting Rents, proceeds,
     premiums or other sums including reasonable attorneys' fees; (2) to that
     portion, if any, of the Debt with respect to which no person or entity has
     personal or entity liability for payment (the "EXCULPATED PORTION"), and
     with respect to the Exculpated Portion as follows: first, to accrued but
     unpaid interest, second, to matured principal, and third, to unmatured
     principal in inverse order of maturity; (3) to the remainder of the Debt as
     follows: first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to
     the matured portion of principal of the Debt, and third, to prepayment of
     the unmatured portion, if any, of principal of the Debt applied to
     installments of principal in inverse order of maturity; (4) the balance, if
     any or to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final payment
     of the Debt to the holder or beneficiary of any inferior liens covering the
     Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Lender
     shall hereby be entitled to rely exclusively on a commitment for title
     insurance issued to determine such priority); and (5) the cash balance, if
     any, to the Borrower. The application of proceeds of sale or other proceeds
     as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of the Debt
     like any other payment. The balance of the Debt remaining unpaid, if any,
     shall remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note,
     the Future Advance Note and the other Loan Documents.

     10.2 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the right to
enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice so as to minimize any disruption to Borrower and tenants.

          (a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against:
     (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finder's or similar fees
     which may be made relating to the Property or the Debt, and (ii) any and
     all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
     suits, costs and expenses (including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees,
     together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind
     or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender
     in connection with the Debt, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any
     part thereof, or the exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies granted
     to it under this Security Instrument; provided, however, that nothing
     herein shall be construed to obligate Borrower to indemnify, defend and
     hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
     losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses
     enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender by reason of Lender's
     willful misconduct or gross negligence.

          (b) If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim
     is threatened or brought against Lender concerning the secured
     indebtedness, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof,
     or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or
     occupancy or use thereof, then Lender shall notify Borrower of such
     litigation or claim and Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender
     harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or
     claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees (together with reasonable
     appellate counsel fees, if any). The right to such attorneys' fees
     (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses
     incurred by Lender in any such litigation or claim of the type described in
     this Subsection 11.1(b), whether or not any such litigation or claim is
     prosecuted to judgment, shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement
     of such claim or action and shall be enforceable whether or not such claim
     or action is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender commences an action against
     Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by
     Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby,
     Borrower shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys' fees (together with
     reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses. If Borrower
     breaches any term of this Security Instrument, Lender may engage the
     services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and
     in the event of such engagement following any breach by Borrower, Borrower
     shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys' fees (together with reasonable
     appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender, whether or
     not an action is actually commenced against Borrower by reason of such
     breach. All references to "ATTORNEYS" in this Subsection 11.1(b) and
     elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include without limitation any
     attorney or law firm engaged by Lender and Lender's in-house counsel, and
     all references to "FEES AND EXPENSES" in this Subsection 11.1(b) and
     elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include without limitation any
     fees of such attorney or law firm and any allocation charges and allocation
     costs of Lender's in-house counsel.

          (c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its
     insurance carrier and, consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to
     claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and
     representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property,
     Borrower's property or the property of others under Borrower's control from
     any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the
     provisions of this Security Instrument.

     11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and
expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the

corrective action; (e) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or
violations of any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined) (or permits issued
pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with the Property or operations
thereon, including but not limited to any failure by Borrower, any person or
entity affiliated with Borrower, and any tenant or other user of the Property to
comply with any order of any governmental authority in connection with any
Environmental Laws; (f) the imposition, recording or filing or the future
imposition, recording or filing of any Environmental Lien (as hereinafter
defined) encumbering the Property; (g) any administrative processes or

     The term "Release" with respect to any Hazardous Substance includes but is
     not limited to any release, deposit, discharge, emission, leaking,
     leaching, spilling, seeping, migrating, injecting, pumping, pouring,
     emptying, escaping, dumping, disposing or other movement of Hazardous
     Substances.

     actions to prevent, cure or mitigate any Release of any Hazardous
     Substance; any action to comply with any Environmental Laws or with any
     permits issued pursuant thereto; any inspection, investigation, study,
     monitoring, assessment, audit, sampling and testing, laboratory or other
     analysis, or evaluation relating to any Hazardous Substances or to anything

     11.3 EXCLUDED OCCURRENCES. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security
Instrument to the contrary, where after the date of this Security Instrument
there shall occur an event (including, without limitation, a Release) for which
Borrower would have an obligation under this Security Instrument to indemnify,
defend, protect or hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, then Borrower shall
have no such obligation to indemnify, defend, protect, release and hold harmless
the Indemnified Parties from and against Losses for acts or omissions the
cause(s) of which is outside or beyond the control of Borrower. For purposes of
this Section 11.3, Borrower shall be deemed and construed to have control over
the acts and omissions of all tenants and subtenants of the Property and each of
their respective agents, vendors, guests, invitees, licencees, servants,
employees, officers, directors, representatives, contractors, subcontractors,
affiliates and subsidiaries.

     11.4 DUTY TO DEFEND AND ATTORNEYS AND OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES. Upon written
request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party
(if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by
attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and
absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to
defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their
attorneys shall control the resolution of claim or proceeding. Upon demand,
Borrower shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified
Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees
and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants,
laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

     11.5 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the provisions
of Section 11.1 and Section 11.2, and Borrower's obligations thereunder, shall
survive (a) the repayment of the Note and the Future Advance Note, (b) the
foreclosure of this Security Instrument, and (c) the release (or reconveyance,
as applicable) of the lien of this Security Instrument.

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT
                               ------------------

     12.1 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real




                                    Page 44
<PAGE>   45


property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. Borrower by executing and delivering this Security
Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Lender, as security for the
Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the
Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the
Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this
paragraph the "Collateral"). Borrower hereby agrees with Lender to execute and
deliver to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, such financing
statements, continuation statements, other uniform commercial code forms and
shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording
thereof, and such further assurances as Lender may from time to time, reasonably
consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Lender's security interest
herein granted. This Security Instrument shall also constitute a "fixture
filing" for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code. All or part of the
Property are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security
interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the
parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an
Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other rights and
remedies which they may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and
without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon
default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary
for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or
demand of Lender, Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting the interest in the
Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect
to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at
least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially
reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the
Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall
deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any
Borrower, such Borrower shall notify Lender thereof and promptly after request
shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are
necessary to maintain the priority of Lender's lien upon and security interest
in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the
filing and recording thereof. If Lender shall require the filing or recording of
additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Borrower
shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial
Code forms or continuation statements as Lender shall deem necessary, and shall
pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof,
it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall
increase Borrower's obligations under the Note, the Future Advance Note, this
Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with
the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements
signed only by Lender, as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, in connection with the
Collateral covered by this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall appear and defend in any action or proceeding which affects or
purports to affect the Property and any interest or right therein, whether such
proceeding effects title or any other rights in the Property (and in conjunction
therewith, Borrower shall fully cooperate with Lender in the event Lender is a
party to such action or proceeding).

                                    -------

     13.1 MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension,
reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of
marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part
thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any
and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure
of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and
every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to
the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

     13.2 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any
nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this
Security Instrument specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice
by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Lender is
required by applicable law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives
the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which
this Security Instrument does not specifically and expressly provide for the
giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

     13.3 SOLE DISCRETION OF LENDER. Wherever pursuant to this Security
Instrument Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or
any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender
to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole discretion of Lender and
shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and
specifically provided herein.

     13.4 SURVIVAL. The indemnifications made pursuant to Article 11, shall
continue indefinitely in full force and effect and shall survive and shall in no
way be impaired by: any satisfaction or other termination of this Security
Instrument, any assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of this
Security Instrument or Lender's interest in the Property (but, in such case,
shall benefit both Indemnified Parties and any assignee or transferee), any
exercise of Lender's rights and remedies pursuant hereto including but not
limited to foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, any
exercise of any rights and remedies pursuant to the Note, the Future Advance
Note or any of the Other Loan Documents, any transfer of all or any portion of
the Property (whether by Borrower or by Lender following foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or at any other time), any amendment
to this Security Instrument, the Note, the Future Advance Note or the Other Loan
Documents, and any act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a
release or discharge of Borrower from the obligations pursuant hereto.

     13.5 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
          -----------------------

     BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF
     RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT
     THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS
     SECURITY INSTRUMENT, THE NOTE, THE FUTURE ADVANCE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN
     DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
     THEREWITH INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE RELATING TO (A) ALLEGATIONS
     THAT A PARTNERSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN




                                    Page 46
<PAGE>   47


     LENDER AND BORROWER; (B) USURY OR PENALTIES OR DAMAGES THEREFOR; (C)
     ALLEGATIONS OF UNCONSCIONABLE ACTS, DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE, LACK OF GOOD
     FAITH OR FAIR DEALING, LACK OF COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS, OR SPECIAL
     RELATIONSHIPS (SUCH AS FIDUCIARY, TRUST OR CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP); (D)
     ALLEGATIONS OF DOMINION, CONTROL, ALTER EGO, INSTRUMENTALITY, FRAUD, REAL
     ESTATE FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, DURESS, COERCION, UNDUE INFLUENCE,
     INTERFERENCE OR NEGLIGENCE; (E) ALLEGATIONS OF TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH
     PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS OR OF ANTITRUST; OR (F)
     SLANDER, LIBEL OR DAMAGE TO REPUTATION. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
     JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO
     ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT
     TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO
     FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF
     THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

     13.6 WAIVER OF AUTOMATIC OR SUPPLEMENTAL STAY. In the event of the filing
of any voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code by or against
Borrower (other than an involuntary petition filed by or joined in by Lender),
the Borrower shall not assert, or request any other party to assert, that the
automatic stay under ss. 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be
interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of
Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Security Instrument, or
any other rights that Lender has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against any
guarantor of the Debt. Further, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or
any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to ss. 105 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other provision therein to stay, interdict, condition,
reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue
of this Security Instrument against any guarantor of the Debt. The waivers
contained in this paragraph are a material inducement to Lender's willingness to
enter into this Security Instrument and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no
grounds exist for equitable relief which would bar, delay or impede the exercise
by Lender of Lender's rights and remedies against Borrower or any guarantor of
the Debt.

                                 --------------

     15.1 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Security Instrument shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws
of the state where the Property is located, without reference or giving effect
to any choice of law doctrine. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in the state in
which the Property is located in connection with any proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Security Instrument.

     15.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument, the Note and the Future Advance
Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be
obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject
the holder of the Note and the Future Advance Note to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which
Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the
terms of this Security Instrument, the Note or the Future Advance Note, Borrower
is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in
excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument,
the Note and the Future Advance Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced
to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum
rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be
applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal
balance of the Note and the Future Advance Note. All sums paid or agreed to be
paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full stated term of the Note and the Future Advance Note
until payment in full so that the rate or




                                    Page 48
<PAGE>   49


amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful
rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so
long as the Debt is outstanding.

     15.3 PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and remedies
provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that
the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this
Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of
this Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other
application of the term shall not be affected thereby.

Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant
participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement (the "Securities"). Lender may forward to each
purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such
Securities or any Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) rating such Securities
(collectively, the "Investor") and each prospective Investor, all documents and
information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt
and to Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor and the Property, whether
furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender
determines necessary or desirable. The term "Rating Agency" shall mean each
statistical rating agency that has assigned a rating to the Securities.

that Lender shall impose certain administrative processing and/or commitment
fees in connection with (a) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and
termination (excluding the scheduled maturity of the Note and the Future Advance
Note) of its loans, (b) the release or substitution of collateral therefor, or
(c) obtaining certain consents, waivers and approvals with respect to the
Property (the occurrence of any of the above shall be called an "Event").
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees to pay, immediately, upon demand, all
such fees (as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time), and any
additional fees of a similar type or nature which may be imposed by Lender from
time to time, upon the occurrence of any Event.

Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the
Property or Personal Property and/or collecting any amount payable or in
enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Property or Personal
Property, whether or not any legal

proceeding is commenced hereunder or thereunder and whether or not any default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring by
Lender until paid by Borrower.

     19.1 NO ORAL CHANGE. This Security Instrument, the Note, the Future Advance
Note, and the Other Loan Documents and any provisions hereof or thereof, may not
be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally
or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.

     19.2 LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the

of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.

and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of,
the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles,
and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and

               obligations arising under the Loan Documents to the full extent
               (but only to the extent) of the security therefor; provided,

               any, its members, if any, its principals, its affiliates, its

               Borrower.

               (ii) If a default occurs in the timely and proper payment of all
               or any part of the Debt, Lender shall not enforce the liability
               and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations
               contained in this Note or the Security Instrument by any action
               or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against
               Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action,
               action for specific performance or other appropriate action or
               proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon the
               Security Instrument, the Other Loan

               other collateral given to Lender created by the Security
               Instrument and the Other Loan Documents; provided, however, that
               any judgment in any action or proceeding shall be enforceable
               against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower's interest in the
               Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to
               Lender. Lender, by accepting this Note and the Security
               Instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise herein
               provided, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against
               Borrower in any action or proceeding, under or by reason of or
               under or in connection with this Note, the Other Loan Documents
               or the Security Instrument.

               (iii) The provisions of this Subsection 10(a) shall not (A)
               constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
               evidenced or secured by this Note, the Other Loan Documents or
               the Security Instrument; (B) impair the right of Lender to name
               Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial
               foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (C) affect
               the validity or enforceability of any indemnity, guaranty, master
               lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Note,

               the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (E)
               impair the enforcement of the Assignment executed in connection
               herewith; (F) impair the right of Lender to enforce the
               provisions of Article 11 of the Security Instrument; or (G)
               impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or
               judgment on this Note against Borrower if necessary to obtain any
               insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to which Lender would
               otherwise be entitled under the Security Instrument; provided,
               however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment against the
               insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards.

               (iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article to the
               contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the
               Losses it incurs due to: (A) the misapplication or
               misappropriation of Rents; (B) the misapplication or
               misappropriation of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards;
               (C) Borrower's failure to return or to reimburse Lender for all
               Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of
               Borrower and not replaced with Personal Property of the same
               utility and of the same or greater value; (D) any act of actual
               waste or arson by Borrower, any principal, affiliate, general
               partner or member thereof or by any Indemnitor or any Guarantor;
               (E) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower to any principal,
               affiliate, general partner or member of Borrower, any Indemnitor
               or any Guarantor in violation of the terms of this Note, the
               Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents; (F) Borrower's
               failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.2 of the
               Security Instrument; or (G) any breach of the Environmental
               Indemnity.

                           (b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of
                  any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b),
                  1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file
                  a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all
                  collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt, owing to
                  Lender in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument
                  and the Other Loan Documents.
