ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On May 15, 1997, Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership ("GPLP"), a
Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of Glimcher Realty Trust ("GRT"),
a Maryland real estate investment trust, amended its existing credit facility
(the "Credit Facility") with The Huntington National Bank, KeyBank National
Association and certain other participant banks by entering into a Second
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of May 15, 1997, with: The
Huntington National Bank; KeyBank National Association; Fleet National Bank;
Star Bank, National Association; PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association; The
Provident Bank; National City Bank of Columbus; and Bankers Trust Company. The
amended Credit Facility provides for an increase in the amount that GPLP can
borrow thereunder from $175 million to $190 million, extends the term thereof
from June 30, 1998 to July 31, 1998, and provides an option to extend the term
to July 31, 1999. The amended Credit Facility also provides for a reduction in
the tiered interest rate schedule with borrowings bearing interest at a variable
rate which initially is equal to LIBOR plus 160 basis points per annum. The
Credit Facility previously was unsecured but is now secured by, among other
things, first lien mortgages/deeds of trust, assignment of rents and security
agreements on the following eleven (11) shopping centers: The Mall at Fairfield
Commons, Beavercreek, Ohio; Indian Mound Mall, Heath, Ohio; New Towne Mall, New
Philadelphia, Ohio; Clarksville Plaza, Clarksville, Indiana; East Pointe Plaza,
Marysville, Ohio; Morgantown Plaza, Star City, West Virginia; Ohio River Plaza,
Gallipolis, Ohio; Plaza Vista Mall, Sierra Vista, Arizona; Steamboat Bend,
Hannibal, Missouri; Middletown Plaza, Middletown, Ohio; and Stewart Plaza,
Mansfield, Ohio. Payments due under the amended Credit Facility are guaranteed
by GRT and by Glimcher Properties Corporation ("GPC"), a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of GRT.

                   SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
                   ------------------------------------------

         This Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (this "Agreement") is
entered into by and among The Huntington National Bank, KeyBank National
Association, Fleet National Bank, Star Bank, National Association, PNC Bank,
Ohio, National Association, The Provident Bank, National City Bank of Columbus,
and Bankers Trust Company and certain other banks that may hereafter become
parties to this Agreement, as provided herein, as lenders (collectively, the
"Banks"); The Huntington National Bank and KeyBank National Association , as
co-agents (the "Co- Agents"), The Huntington National Bank, as administrative
agent (the "Administrative Agent"); Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership, as
borrower (the "Company"); and Glimcher Realty Trust and Glimcher Properties
Corporation, as guarantors (collectively the "Guarantor, "but all the
obligations, warranties, representations and covenants of these two guarantors
under this Agreement shall be joint and several), as of the 15th day of May,
1997, in order to amend and restate a First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
entered into by and among The Huntington National Bank, Society National Bank, a
bank group, the Company and the Guarantor as of the 30th day of June, 1995, as
thereafter amended (the "First Restated Agreement"). The First Restated
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to provide as follows:

SECTION 1.  AMOUNT OF LOAN.
1.1      Commitment to Lend.
         ------------------

         The Banks agree to lend to the Company sums and issue letters of credit
in face amounts totalling an aggregate amount of $190,000,000.00 (hereinafter
referred to as the "Loan"), as co- lenders subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The "Commitment Limit" of each Bank shall be the amount set
forth opposite its signature on this Agreement or agreed to in any subsequent
amendment to this Agreement, as hereinafter provided in this section. Any other
provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, no Bank shall be required to fund
any advance or undertake any obligation with respect to letters of credit issued
hereunder in an aggregate amount that exceeds its Pro Rata Share of all advances
made on the same date or that exceeds the amount of its Commitment Limit. In
addition, no Advances shall be made or letters of credit issued at any time if,
after giving effect thereto, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the
Loan and the aggregate of the face amounts of outstanding letters of credit (the
"Total Outstandings") would



<PAGE>   8



exceed the lesser of (a) 65% of the fair market value of the properties then in
the Collateral Pool, as determined on the basis of the most recent appraisals
accepted by the Banks, and (b) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, as determined as of
the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter based upon the financial
information required to be provided by the Company within the time period
permitted for delivery of quarterly statements pursuant to Section 11(a).
"Aggregate Borrowing Base" shall mean, on any date of determination, the sum of
the Borrowing Bases for each property in the Collateral Pool. "Borrowing Base"
shall mean the value ascribed to a property in the Collateral Pool for the
purpose of this Section 1.1, calculated as follows: the Net Operating Income for
such property shall be divided by the product of the Market Constant, 12 and
1.30. "Market Constant" shall mean the factor determined by the Administrative
Agent by reference to a standard level constant payment table for a fully
amortizing loan with a maturity of 25 years' duration based upon an assumed per
annum interest rate equal to the ten-year U.S. Treasury constant maturities
interest rate average, as announced weekly in Federal Reserve Statistical
Release H.15, plus one and three-quarters percentage points (1.75%). In the
event that the Total Outstandings shall at any time exceed the lesser of the
amounts described in (a) and (b) above, the Company agrees to provide within 30
days sufficient additional collateral (subject to all the requirements of
Sections 7 and 9 hereof) such as to cause the Total Outstandings not to exceed
such amount or to make such repayment of the Loan as may be required to reduce
the Total Outstandings to the lesser of such amounts. 

1.2      Realignment of Banks.
         ---------------------

         Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, The Huntington
National Bank, individually, shall disburse, as part of its commitment
hereunder, such funds as may be necessary to purchase the Pro Rata Shares of The
First National Bank of Chicago and Corestates, National Association (the
"Terminating Banks") of the principal portion of the Advances outstanding on
such date under the First Restated Agreement (the "Existing Advances"). Upon
such date, the Company shall pay to the Terminating Banks their Pro Rata Shares
of the interest accrued on the Existing Advances. The Existing Advances shall
remain outstanding until the end of their respective Interest Periods and shall
be repaid with accrued interest to those banks who are "Banks" under the First
Restated Agreement in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares as provided therein,
except that the

                                        2


<PAGE>   9



Pro Rata Shares of the Terminating Banks shall be paid to The Huntington
National Bank. Bankers Trust Company shall have no share or interest in the
Existing Advances or any interest accrued or to accrue thereon. The pro rata
sharing of funding and receipt of payment contemplated in this Agreement shall
automatically become effective for each Advance made after the date of this
Agreement, but shall be effective with respect to all letters of credit issued
and remaining outstanding on the effective date of this Agreement, whether
issued after such date or issued under the First Restated Agreement. The Company
shall pay to Bankers Trust Company its Pro Rata Share of the standby letter of
credit fees due with respect to those standby letters of credit issued under the
First Restated Agreement and outstanding on the date of this Agreement.

1.3      Additional Banks.
         ----------------

         The Co-Agents may from time to time without the consent of the Company
add other commercial banks as Banks under this Agreement. The Commitment Limits
of The Huntington National Bank and KeyBank National Association shall be
ratably reduced by the amount of the Commitment Limit of each additional Bank.
In each case the addition of a Bank shall be made by (a) execution by such Bank,
the Co-Agents, the Company and the Guarantor of an amendment in the form of
Exhibit A to this Agreement in which the additional Bank agrees to be bound by
all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and agrees to a Commitment Limit;
(b) delivery to the additional Bank by the Company of a promissory note in the
form of Exhibit B to this Agreement and in the amount of such Bank's Commitment
Limit; (c) delivery by the Guarantor of guarantees in favor of such Bank in the
form of Exhibits C and D to this Agreement; (d) receipt by the Administrative
Agent from the additional Bank of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan and payment of that amount pro rata to The
Huntington National Bank and KeyBank National Association; and (e) delivery by
the Company to The Huntington National Bank and KeyBank National Association of
promissory notes in the form of Exhibit B in the amount of each such Bank's
revised Commitment Limit, together with the return by The Huntington National
Bank and KeyBank National Association of the promissory notes being replaced
thereby.

1.4      Advances; Termination Date.
         --------------------------

         The Loan shall take the form of a revolving credit, and the outstanding
principal balance may be increased and decreased an unlimited number of times.
The Company's right to obtain advances

                                        3


<PAGE>   10



pursuant to the Loan shall terminate and the principal balance shall be payable
on July 31, 1998 (the "Termination Date"). The Company shall have the right,
upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent no later than April 30,
1998, and payment of an extension fee in the amount of $475,000.00, to extend
the Termination Date to July 31, 1999. Each request for an advance under this
Agreement or for the issuance of a letter of credit shall be directed to the
Administrative Agent and accompanied by a statement signed by the Company by its
chief executive officer, President or chief financial officer, in such
representative capacity, certifying that there does not then exist any Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined). 

1.5       Letters of Credit.
          -----------------

          As part of the amount of the Loan available to the Company pursuant to
Section 1.1, the Company shall have the right to obtain from the Administrative
Agent standby letters of credit in face amounts aggregating up to $25,000,000.00
at any one time outstanding, provided that no letter of credit shall have an
expiry date later than one year from the date of issuance, nor shall any such
expiry date be later than the Termination Date unless such standby letter of
credit is secured through the deposit with the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Banks of cash equal to the face amount of the letter of credit.
Each letter of credit shall be issued by The Huntington National Bank as
Administrative Agent in the name of The Huntington National Bank. Each of the
Banks hereby absolutely and unconditionally purchases from The Huntington
National Bank, and The Huntington National Bank hereby sells to each of the
Banks, an undivided participation interest in each letter of credit issued under
this Agreement and in each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the
First Restated Agreement in an amount equal to each Bank's Pro Rata Share. At
the time of and as a condition to the issuance of each standby letter of credit
under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Banks, an annual issuance fee equal to one percent (1%) of the
face amount of the letter of credit. The Company shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, individually, its customary fees associated with the administration of
standby letters of credit, including but not limited to those fees associated
with the issuance of routine amendments and the processing of drawings. The
Company's obligation to reimburse the Banks for the amount of a drawing under
any standby letter of credit issued as part of the Loan shall be evidenced by a
reimbursement agreement in the form customarily used by The Huntington National
Bank.

                                        4


<PAGE>   11



         Upon any failure of the Company promptly to reimburse the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of any reimbursement agreement
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan, following any drawing upon a
letter of credit, such reimbursement amount shall be immediately funded by the
Administrative Agent through the making of an Advance under the Loan. Advances
for the purpose of paying unreimbursed letter of credit drawings shall continue
to be made by the Administrative Agent and funded by the Banks pro rata
notwithstanding the existence of any Event of Default or any other cause;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Banks be obligated to lend more
than $190,000,000.00 in the aggregate, nor shall any individual Bank be
obligated to lend more than the amount of its Commitment Limit. 

1.6      Interim Reserve.
         ---------------

         If the Company shall not by the date of closing have satisfied the
appraisal requirement contained in Section 9.8(b) of this Agreement, the Company
shall satisfy such requirement by no later than August 1, 1997. Until this
requirement shall have been fully satisfied, the amount of $15,000,000.00 shall
be reserved by the Banks from the maximum amount of the Loan available to be
drawn upon by the Company through the obtaining of Advances or the issuance of
letters of credit.

SECTION 2. INTEREST RATE.

2.1      Prime Interest Rate.
         -------------------

         At all times other than when the Company shall have properly elected to
have interest accrue at a rate of interest based upon the LIBO Rate (as
hereinafter defined), the Company agrees to pay to the Banks monthly interest on
the unpaid balance of the Loan at a variable rate of interest (the "Prime
Interest Rate") equal to the Prime Commercial Rate of The Huntington National
Bank, from time to time in effect, with each change in the Prime Commercial Rate
automatically and immediately changing the interest rate on the Loan without
notice to the Company. "Prime Commercial Rate" as used herein shall mean the
rate established by The Huntington National Bank from time to time as its Prime
Commercial Rate based on its consideration of economic, money market, business
and competitive factors, and it is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by
The Huntington National Bank to business borrowers. Interest shall be calculated
on a 360 day year basis and shall be based

                                        5


<PAGE>   12



on the actual number of days which elapse during the interest calculation
period. The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to advise promptly
the Company of any change in the Prime Commercial Rate, but no failure to
provide such notice shall constitute any default by the Administrative Agent,
the Co-Agents or the Banks under this Agreement.

         "Prime Interest Rate Advance" shall mean any amount borrowed as part of
the Loan that bears interest at a rate calculated with reference to the Prime
Interest Rate.

2.2      LIBO Rate.
         ---------

         The Company may from time to time prior to the Termination Date elect
to have interest accrue on all or part of the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the LIBO Rate plus the Applicable
Percentage (as hereinafter defined). "LIBO Rate" shall mean, with respect to any
LIBO Rate Advance and the related Interest Period (as hereinafter defined), the
per annum rate that is equal to the quotient of:

         (a) the actual or estimated arithmetic mean of the per annum rates of
interest at which deposits in U.S. dollars for the related Interest Period and
in an aggregate amount comparable to the amount of such LIBO Rate Advance are
being offered to U.S. banks by one or more prime banks in the London interbank
market, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion based upon
reference to information appearing in Telerate, a service of Telerate Systems
Incorporated, in the section captioned "British Bankers Assoc. Interest
Settlement Rates," or any comparable index selected by the Administrative Agent,
the obtaining of rate quotations, or any other reasonable procedure, at
approximately 11:00 a.m. London, England, time, on the second LIBO business day
prior to the first day of the related Interest Period; all as determined by the
Administrative Agent, such sum to be rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest
whole multiple of 1/16 of 1%; divided by

         (b) a percentage equal to 100% minus the rate (expressed as a
percentage), if any, at which reserve requirements are imposed on any one or
more of the Banks, on the second LIBO business day prior to the first day of the
related Interest Period, with respect to any "Eurocurrency liabilities" under
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any
other regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect
thereto (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental,
special or other reserves) for a term comparable

                                        6


<PAGE>   13



to such Interest Period. This provision is for the benefit of the Banks and is
not intended to increase the expected yield to the Banks above the rates of
interest provided for in this Agreement.

         "LIBO Rate Advance" shall mean any amount borrowed as part of the Loan
that bears interest at a rate calculated with reference to the LIBO Rate. "LIBO
business day" shall mean, with respect to any LIBO Rate Advance, a day which is
both a day on which all the Banks are open for business and a day on which
dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are carried out in the London interbank market.

         "Applicable Percentage" shall mean a per annum percentage of interest
equal to 1.40% if the Company's Leverage is less than 0.40 to 1; 1.50% if the
Company's Leverage is less than 0.50 to 1 and greater than or equal to 0.40 to
1; 1.60% if the Company's Leverage is less than 0.55 to 1 and greater than or
equal to 0.50 to 1; and 1.70% if the Company's Leverage is greater than or equal
to 0.55 to 1. The "Company's Leverage" shall mean the ratio of the Company's and
the Guarantor's, together with all Subsidiaries', consolidated total debt to
Total Asset Value, all as calculated pursuant to Section 10.29. Every change in
the Applicable Percentage shall become effective for each Advance obtained
following the forty-fifth (45th) day after the conclusion of the previous fiscal
quarter. 

2.3      Notice of Election.
         ------------------

         The Company may initially elect to request an Advance of either type,
continue an Advance of one type as an Advance of the then existing type or
convert an Advance of one type to an Advance of the other type, by giving notice
thereof to the Administrative Agent in writing in such form as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require not later than 10:00 a.m. Columbus
time, three LIBO business days prior to the date any such continuation of or
conversion to a LIBO Rate Advance is to be effective and not later than 10:00
a.m. Columbus time on the date such continuation or conversion is to be
effective in all other cases, provided, that an outstanding Advance may only be
converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period (if applicable)
with respect to such Advance, and provided, further, that upon the continuation
or conversion of an Advance such notice shall also specify the Interest Period
(if applicable) to be applicable thereto upon such continuation or conversion.
If the Company shall fail to timely deliver such a notice with respect to any
outstanding Advance, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Advance to a Prime Interest

                                        7


<PAGE>   14



Rate Advance. The initial LIBO Rate Advance hereunder shall be in the minimum
amount of $5,000,000.00 and in integral multiples of $200,000.00. Each LIBO Rate
Advance thereafter shall be in the amount of $200,000.00 and in integral
multiples thereof. No more than five LIBO Rate Advances may be outstanding at
one time.

2.4      Interest Calculation and Interest Payment Date.
         ----------------------------------------------

         "Interest Period" shall mean:

         (a) With respect to any LIBO Rate Advance, an initial period
commencing, as the case may be, on the day such an Advance shall be made by the
Banks, or on the day of conversion of any then outstanding Advance to an Advance
of such type, and ending on the date one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4) or
six (6) months thereafter, all as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 2.2
of this Agreement, provided, that (i) any Interest Period with respect to a LIBO
Rate Advance that shall commence on the last LIBO business day of the calendar
month (or on any day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
appropriate subsequent calendar month) shall end on the last LIBO business day
of the appropriate subsequent calendar month; and (ii) each Interest Period with
respect to a LIBO Rate Advance that would otherwise end on a day which is not a
LIBO business day shall end on the next succeeding LIBO business day or, if such
next succeeding LIBO business day falls in the next succeeding calendar month,
on the next preceding LIBO business day.

         (b) With respect to a Prime Interest Rate Advance, an initial period
commencing, as the case may be, on the day such an Advance shall be made by the
Banks, or on the day of conversion of any then outstanding Advance to an Advance
of such type, and ending on the day of conversion to an Advance of a different
type.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, no Interest Period
shall be permitted which would end after the Termination Date.

         Interest shall be calculated on a 360 day year basis and shall be based
on the actual number of days which elapse during the interest calculation
period. Interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.
"Interest Payment Date" shall mean (i) the last day of each Interest Period in
the case of a LIBO Rate Advance and, in the case of any Interest Period which is
longer than three (3) months for any such Advance, the ninetieth (90th) day of
such Interest Period; and (ii) in the case of a Prime Interest Rate Advance, the
first business day of each month.

                                        8

         The Company shall pay interest at the Prime Interest Rate for one day
with respect to any Advance obtained and repaid on the same day.

2.5      Additional Costs.
         -----------------

         In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation
(whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or any interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any one or more of
the Banks with any request or directive of any such authority (whether or not
having the force of law) (each of the foregoing being referred to as a
"Regulatory Requirement"), shall (a) affect the basis of taxation of payments to
any one or more of the Banks of any amounts payable by the Company for LIBO Rate
Advances under this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
income of such Bank or Banks by the jurisdiction, or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, in which such Bank or
Banks has its principal office), or (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by any one or more of the Banks,
or (c) shall impose any other condition, requirement or charge with respect to
this Agreement or the Loan (including, without limitation, any capital adequacy
requirement, any requirement which affects the manner in which any one or more
of the Banks allocates capital resources to its commitments or any similar
requirement), and the result of any of the foregoing change in external
conditions is to increase the actual cost to such Bank or Banks of making or
maintaining the Loan or any Advance thereunder, to reduce the actual amount of
any sum receivable by such Bank or Banks thereon, or to reduce the actual rate
of return on the capital of such Bank, then, provided such Regulatory
Requirement is then being applied or directed to all banks or to a class of
banks, and not just to one or more banks as a result of their non-compliance
with existing laws, treaties, rules or regulations, or existing directive of an
authority interpreting or administering the same, the Company shall pay to the
affected Bank or Banks, from time to time, upon request of such Bank or Banks
made through the Administrative Agent, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate the Bank or Banks for such increased cost, reduced sum receivable or
reduced rate of return (collectively, "Reduced Earnings") to the extent such
Bank or Banks are not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest
rates applicable to the Loan and provided such Reduced Earnings are not the
result of a decline in the economic

                                        9

performance of such Bank or Banks not resulting from a Regulatory Requirement. A
detailed statement as to the amount of such increased cost, reduced sum
receivable or reduced rate of return, prepared in good faith and submitted by
any of the Banks so affected to the Company, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes relative to such Bank, absent manifest error in determination. Any
Bank claiming additional compensation shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent and the Company of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement
that entitles such Bank to additional compensation pursuant to this Section 2.5,
but the failure to give such prompt notice shall not limit a Bank's rights under
this Section. 

2.6      Limitations on Requests and Elections.
         -------------------------------------

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
if, upon receiving a request for a LIBO Rate Advance or a request for a
continuation of a LIBO Rate Advance or conversion of a Prime Interest Rate
Advance to a LIBO Rate Advance (a) deposits in dollars for periods comparable to
the Interest Period elected by the Company are not available to any one or more
of the Banks in the London interbank market, or (b) the LIBO Rate will not
accurately cover the cost to any one or more of the Banks of making or
maintaining the related LIBO Rate Advance, or (c) by reason of national or
international financial, political or economic conditions or by reason of any
applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or
hereafter in effect, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by one or more of the Banks with any request or directive
of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without
limitation exchange controls, it is impracticable, unlawful or impossible for
any one or more of the Banks (i) to make the relevant LIBO Rate Advance or (ii)
to continue such Advance as a LIBO Rate Advance or (iii) to convert an Advance
to a LIBO Rate Advance, then the Company shall not be entitled, so long as such
circumstances continue, to request a LIBO Rate Advance or a continuation of or
conversion to such Advance from the Banks. In the event that such circumstances
no longer exist, the Banks shall again consider requests for LIBO Rate Advances
and requests for continuations of and conversions to such Advances.

2.7      Illegality and Impossibility.
         ----------------------------

         In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation
(whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect, or any interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any one or more of
the Banks with any request or directive of such authority (whether or not having
the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it
unlawful or impossible for such Bank or Banks to maintain any LIBO Rate Advance
under this Agreement, the Company shall after receipt of notice thereof from the
Administrative Agent, repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of all
LIBO Rate Advances made by the affected Banks together with all accrued interest
thereon to the date of payment and all amounts due to the affected Banks under
Section 2.8, (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period, if any,
applicable to such LIBO Rate Advance, if the affected Banks may lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Advance to such day, or (b) immediately if
the affected Banks may not continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Advance to such
day. If fewer than all the Banks are affected by such illegality or
impossibility, the LIBO Rate Advances made by the affected Banks shall be
converted to Prime Interest Rate Advances rather than repaid, and the Company
shall pay to the affected Banks all accrued interest on the LIBO Rate Advances
to the date of conversion and all amounts due to the affected Banks under
Section 2.8. This provision is for the benefit of the Banks and is not intended
to increase the yield to the Banks above the rates of interest provided for in
this Agreement. This Section 2.7 shall apply only as long as such illegality
exists. The Banks shall use reasonable, lawful efforts to avoid the impact of
such law, treaty, rule or regulation. As an alternative to the repayment
obligation provided in this Section 2.7, the Company may, at its option, and at
the time provided in this Section 2.7, convert any affected Advance or a portion
thereof to a Prime Interest Rate Advance or to any LIBO Rate Advance of a
duration that remains unaffected by the foregoing external conditions, in each
case accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the affected Advance
to the date of conversion and all amounts due to the affected Banks under
Section 2.8. 

2.8      Indemnification.
         ---------------

         If, for any reason, the Company makes any payment of principal with
respect to any LIBO Advance on any other date than the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto or if the

                                       11


<PAGE>   18



Company fails to borrow any LIBO Rate Advance after notice has been given to the
Banks in accordance with Section 2.3, or fails to make any payment of principal
or interest in respect of a LIBO Advance when due or at the Termination Date,
the Company shall reimburse the Banks on demand for any resulting actual and
direct loss or expense incurred by the Banks, determined in the Banks'
reasonable opinion, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining,
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties. A detailed statement as to
the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and submitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Company shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes absent manifest error in determination.

2.9      Survival of Obligations.
         -----------------------

         The provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.8 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment in full of all promissory notes outstanding
pursuant hereto.

2.10     Commitment, Modification and Quarterly Usage Fees; Cancellation and 
         -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Reduction and Increase of Commitment.
         -------------------------------------

         The Company agrees to pay on or before closing to each of the Banks
making a new or increased commitment hereunder, a commitment fee equal to one
quarter of one percent (1/4%) of the amount of such new or increased commitment.

         The Company agrees on or before closing to pay a modification fee in
the amount of $87,500.00, to be paid to the respective Banks as follows:

                  The Huntington National Bank:                  $37,500.00

                  National City Bank of Columbus:                $2,500.00

         The Company agrees to pay to the Banks (excepting any Bank that may
have ceased to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances hereunder in violation of the
terms of this Agreement) quarterly in arrears, commencing on June 30, 1997, a
quarterly usage fee equal to the sum of (x) one-quarter of one percent (1/4%)
per annum on the amount by which the actual daily amount of the Loan outstanding
during such quarter is less than $95,000,000.00, and (y) one-eighth of one
percent (1/8%) per annum on the difference between $190,000,000.00 and the
greater of $95,000,000.00 or the actual daily amount of the Loan outstanding
during such quarter. For purposes of calculating the

                                       12

usage fee only, the commitment provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to
be outstanding to the extent of (a) 100% of the Company's aggregate Prime
Interest Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances; and (b) 0% of the aggregate
undrawn face amount of standby letters of credit issued under this Agreement.
The Company shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent,
to cancel or reduce the total commitment provided for herein; provided, however,
that any such cancellation or reduction shall be irrevocable, any reduction
shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000.00, and all then outstanding and
unpaid principal (or amount thereof in excess of any remaining commitment),
interest accrued thereon and fees, together with any sum due pursuant to Section
2.8 hereof, shall be paid in full to the Banks. 

2.11     Interest Rate after Default.
         ---------------------------

         Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the expiration of any
applicable cure period, interest shall thereafter accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of all advances made pursuant to this Agreement at a rate
equal to the Prime Interest Rate, plus two percent (2%) per annum.

SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF THE LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

         The Loan shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit
B to this Agreement delivered and made payable to each Bank in the amount of its
Commitment Limit, or by one or more notes subsequently executed in substitution
therefor. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the Banks for drawings
under standby letters of credit issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be
evidenced by the reimbursement agreements described in Section 1.2 hereof.
Repayment of the Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms of the notes
and reimbursement agreements then outstanding pursuant to this Agreement. The
Company agrees that all payments and prepayments made pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement will be made to the Administrative Agent by 12:00
noon, Columbus, Ohio, time and that any payment or prepayment made after that
time will be deemed to have been made on the next day.

SECTION 4. PREPAYMENT.

         The Company, if not then in default hereunder, and subject to the
requirements of Section 2.8, shall have the right without penalty to prepay at
any time and from time to time before maturity any amount or amounts due to the
Banks pursuant to this Agreement or to any note or notes executed pursuant
hereto. Any partial prepayment shall be in the minimum amount of $200,000.00,
except to the extent that more than four (4) partial prepayments are made in any
one thirty (30) day period, in which event each subsequent partial prepayment
during such period shall be in the amount of $1,000,000.00 or any integral
multiple thereof.

SECTION 5. USE OF PROCEEDS.

         The proceeds of the Loan shall be used by the Company for the

SECTION 6. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

Bend, Hannibal, Missouri; Stewart Plaza, Mansfield, Ohio (the foregoing
properties being referred to in the aggregate as the "Collateral Pool"). The
Company, provided there is not then continuing an Event of Default, shall have
the right to substitute in the Collateral Pool properties that are of equivalent
or greater appraised fair market value and free of all liens and encumbrances
other than real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, easements,
covenants, conditions and restrictions of record that do not materially
interfere with the use of the premises as a mall or shopping center and the
rights of parties in possession as tenants only , in each case upon the prior
written approval of the Required Banks and, if not included in the Required
Banks, the Co-Agents. Substitution of any property shall only be considered by
the Banks upon the delivery by the Company to the Banks of (a) Evidence of Value
(as hereinafter defined); (b) a current survey satisfactory in form and
substance to the Co-Agents; (c) a current environmental report satisfactory in
form and substance to the Co-Agents; (d) a current ALTA title insurance
commitment and final mortgagee policy of title insurance for such property and
all appurtenant easements thereto with such reinsurance and endorsements as the
Banks may require, issued by an agent and underwriter acceptable to the Banks
and conforming in all respects with the Administrative Agent's title insurance
requirements; and (e) evidence that the property is insured under policies
providing such coverages and insuring against such risks as is customary with
respect to such commercial properties. "Evidence of Value" shall mean an
independent appraisal satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Banks,
conducted by appraisers selected by the Co-Agents, and in conformity with the
usual appraisal standards of the Administrative Agent and with the requirements
of all statutes, regulations and interpretations thereof to which the Banks, or
any of them, are subject, establishing the substitute property to be of a value
equal to or greater than the value of the property for which substitution is
being made. In the event that the Required Banks shall determine that the loan
to value ratio and Aggregate Borrowing Base requirements of Section 1.1 can be
fulfilled without including in the Collateral Pool all the properties identified
in this Section 7, and provided that there is not then continuing an Event of
Default, the Company shall be permitted to designate the specific properties
described in Section 7 that shall be included in the Collateral Pool, subject to
the Company's ongoing obligation to remain in compliance at all times with
Section 1.1.

In the event that (A) any of the properties in the Collateral Pool are at any
time released from inclusion pursuant to the provisions of this section, and (B)
any of such properties are thereafter offered as substitute or additional
properties pursuant to the terms hereof, and (C) neither the Company nor the
Required Banks are then in possession of information suggesting a material
decrease in the fair market value of such properties, and (D) none of the Banks
is required by applicable law or regulation to obtain a new appraisal of such
property, the Banks agree to accept as Evidence of Value the appraisals on such
properties received in connection with the execution of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

12.1     Nature of Events.
         ----------------

         An "Event of Default" shall exist if any of the following occurs and is
continuing:

         (a)      the Company fails to make any payment of principal on any note
                  executed in connection with this Agreement on or before the

         (d)      the Company or the Guarantor fails to comply with any other
                  provision of this Agreement, and such failure continues for

                  to any executive officer of the Company or the Guarantor;


                                       41
<PAGE>   48



         (e)      any warranty, representation or other statement by or on
                  behalf of the Company or the Guarantor contained in this
                  Agreement or in any instrument furnished in compliance with or
                  in reference to this Agreement is false or misleading in any
                  material respect;

         (f)      the Company or either of the business entities that comprise
                  the Guarantor becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or makes an
                  assignment for the benefit of creditors, or consents to the
                  appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator;

         (g)      bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
                  liquidation proceedings are instituted by or against the
                  Company or either of the business entities that comprise the
                  Guarantor and, in the case of any such proceedings being
                  instituted against the Company or either of the business

         (i)      the Company or the Guarantor fails to make any payment or to

                  to any third party pursuant to any agreement to repay borrowed
                  money, and any applicable grace period has expired, to the
                  extent that such failure as to any indebtedness to any third
                  party permits such third party to accelerate the maturity of
                  the indebtedness and the indebtedness exceeds $8,000,000.00,
                  or there shall exist any Default by Glimcher Realty Trust in
                  the performance of any of its obligations pursuant to its
                  Articles Supplementary (as Default is defined therein).

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

         (a) REMEDIES--If an Event of Default exists, the Co-Agents or, subject
to the terms of Sections 14.12 and 14.13 hereof, any one or more of the Banks,
may immediately exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to the Co-Agents
or any of the Banks by law or any provision of this


                                       42
<PAGE>   49



Agreement, and shall have, in particular, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the right to cease the making of Advances and the issuance of standby
letters of credit and the right to declare the entire principal and all interest
accrued on all notes then outstanding pursuant to this Agreement to be forthwith
due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company and the Guarantor;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
Section 12.1(f) or (g), the entire principal and all interest accrued on all
notes then outstanding pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically become due
and payable; and, PROVIDED FURTHER, that the exercise of judicial remedies by
individual Banks pursuant to the notes and guarantees held by those Banks shall
only be permitted if the Majority Banks, the Co-Agents and the Administrative
Agent shall have failed to perform the obligations described in Section 14.12.

         (b) NONWAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE--No course of dealing on the part of
the Banks, nor any delay or failure on the part of the Banks in exercising any
rights, powers or privileges hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
shall operate as a waiver of such rights, powers or privileges or otherwise
prejudice any of the Banks' rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege by the Banks. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the
Banks under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right or remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing
under any applicable law. Every right and remedy given by this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents or by applicable law to the Banks may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Banks.

         (c) RIGHT OF SET-OFF--Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default hereunder, each of the Banks is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, without notice to the Company or the Guarantor (any
such notice being expressly waived by the Company or the Guarantor) and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by any of the Banks to or for the credit or
the account of the Company or the


                                       43

Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not
such Bank shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may
be unmatured. The application and distribution of funds obtained from any set
off shall be subject to the terms of Section 14.13 of this Agreement.

to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to
take any action that exposes the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent to

14.2     Nature of Duties.
         ----------------

         Neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Neither the Co-Agents, the Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (a) liable for any action
taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless
caused by their willful misconduct or gross negligence, or (b) responsible in
any manner to any Bank for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Company or the Guarantor or any officer thereof contained
in this Agreement, or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this
Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or for any failure
of the Company or the Guarantors to perform its obligations hereunder. Neither
the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to any
Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or any of the
Loan Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or
the Guarantor. The duties of the Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent shall be
mechanical and administrative in nature; neither the Co-Agents nor the
Administrative Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Co-Agents
or the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except
as expressly set forth herein. 

14.3     Lack of Reliance on the Co-Agents or Administrative Agent and 
         -------------------------------------------------------------
         Resignation.
         ------------

         Independently and without reliance upon the Co-Agents or the
Administrative Agent, each Bank has made and shall continue to make (a) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company
and the Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loan
hereunder and the taking or refraining from taking of any action in connection
herewith, and (b) its own credit analysis or appraisal of the creditworthiness
of the Company and the Guarantor. In addition, each Bank has reviewed and
approved the form and substance of each of the Loan Documents. Neither the
Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent


                                       54
<PAGE>   61



shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis
to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loan or at any time
or times thereafter. Neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent has made
any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to, and shall
not be responsible to any Bank for (a) any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in
connection herewith; (b) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement; or of the financial condition
or creditworthiness of the Company or the Guarantor or of the value of any of
the properties in the Collateral Pool; (c) the collectibility of the Loan, or
(d) any other matter having any relation to this Agreement, the Loan or the Loan
Documents. Neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall be required
to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or
the financial condition or creditworthiness of Company or the Guarantor, or the
existence of any Event of Default or any condition, event or act that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an Event of Default.

         Both the Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
resign on thirty days' written notice to the Banks, and upon such resignation,
the Required Banks shall designate a successor agent. The Required Banks, with
the consent of the Company if there is then existing no Event of Default, shall
have the right to remove the Administrative Agent based upon the failure of the
Administrative Agent to perform the duties described in this Agreement and to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. The consent of the Company shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Any successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, and the terms "Co-Agents" and "Administrative Agent" shall mean such
respective successor agents effective upon their appointment, and the former Co-
Agent's or Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Co-Agents or
Administrative Agent respectively shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Co-Agents or Administrative
Agent. After any Co-Agent's or Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder, the provisions of this section shall continue to inure to its benefit
as to any


                                       55
<PAGE>   62



actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Co-Agent or
Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

14.4     Certain Rights of the Agent.
         ---------------------------

         Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, if the Co-Agents or
Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Banks with respect to
any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement,
the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Co-Agents or
the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Majority
Banks; and neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall incur
liability to any Bank or any other party by reason of so refraining. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent as a result of its
acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions
of the Majority Banks. In the event that the Co-Agents or the Administrative
Agent at any time request approval for any proposed course of action relating to
the Loan or this Agreement and any one or more of the Banks fails to respond in
writing within thirty calendar days of the date of such request, each Bank so
failing to respond shall be conclusively deemed to have given its approval to
such proposed action.

14.5     Reliance.
         --------

         The Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, affidavit resolution,
notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message,
cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be
genuine and correct and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this
Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or the Guarantor),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Co-Agents or the
Administrative Agent. The Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent may employ
agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Co-Agents or
the Administrative Agent.

14.6     Notice of Default.
         -----------------

         Neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or
under the Loan Documents, unless the


                                       56
<PAGE>   63



Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank,
the Company or the Guarantor referring to this Agreement, describing such Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event
that the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the
Co-Agents shall promptly give notice thereof to each Bank. The Co-Agents shall
take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Majority Banks; PROVIDED that unless and until the Co-Agents
shall have received such directions, the Co-Agents may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Event of Default as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of
the Banks.

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

         To the extent the Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent are not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Company or the Guarantor, or any of them, each
Bank will reimburse and indemnify the Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent pro
rata in proportion to its Commitment Limit for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which at any
time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the
Loan) may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Co-Agents or the
Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any documents
contemplated by or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent in
any such capacity thereunder or in connection therewith; provided that, the
Banks shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Co-Agents' or the Administrative Agent's
willful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this Section 14.7
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all
notes and reimbursement agreements outstanding pursuant hereto. 

14.8     The Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent in Their Individual 
         --------------------------------------------------------------
         Capacities.
         -----------

         The Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent and their respective
affiliates may accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to,
and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Company
or the Guarantor or either of their affiliates, and receive payment


                                       57
<PAGE>   64



on such loans or extensions of credit or otherwise act with respect thereto
fully and without accountability to the Banks in the same manner as if the
Co-Agents and the Administrative Agent were not performing the duties specified
herein and the transactions described herein were not in effect. Each of the
Banks and their affiliates shall have the right similarly to engage in such
banking or trust business with the Company, the Guarantor and their affiliates.

         No Bank shall have an interest in any property taken as collateral or
security for any loans or extensions of credit made by another Bank, one of the
Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective affiliates or
in any property in any such party's possession or control, or in any deposit
held or other indebtedness owing by any such party or its affiliates, which may
be or become collateral for or otherwise available for payment of the Loan by
reason of the general description of secured obligations contained in any
security agreement or other instrument held by such party or by reason of the
right of set off, counterclaim or otherwise, except that if such property,
deposit or indebtedness or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in reduction of
the Loan, each Bank shall be entitled to its pro rata percentage of such
application. Neither the Co-Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall have any
obligation to make any claim against, or assert any lien upon or right of set
off against, any such property held by the Co-Agents, the Administrative Agent,
or any of the Banks. 

14.9     Amendment and Modifications.
         ---------------------------

         The Co-Agents may, subject to the provisions of this Section 14.9, and
to the other provisions of this Agreement requiring the approval of certain
matters by the Banks, the Required Banks or the Majority Banks from time to time
enter into written amendments or supplemental agreements to this Agreement or to
the Loan Documents executed by the Company and the Guarantor (other than the
notes and guarantees delivered by the Company to the Banks), for the purpose of
adding or deleting any provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or
otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of the Banks,
the Co-Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Guarantor thereunder
or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof, or waiving any Event of Default
thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements;
provided, however, that no such amendment or supplemental agreement shall
without the consent of all the Banks: (a) extend the maturity of the Loan, or
waive or extend the time for the payment of principal, interest


                                       58
<PAGE>   65



or fees, (b) increase the principal amount of the Loan, (c) decrease the rate or
rates of interest thereon or any fee payable by the Company or the Guarantor or
any of them to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement, (d) alter, amend or modify
Sections 10.10 or 10.17, (e) alter, amend or modify the automatic nature of an
Event of Default pursuant to Sections 12.1(f) or (g), (f) alter, amend or modify
this Section 14.9 or any section providing a right of approval to the Banks, the
Required Banks or the Majority Banks, (g) alter the meaning of the terms
Majority Banks or Required Banks, or (h) change the rights and duties of the
Co-Agents or the Administrative Agent; nor shall any such amendment or
supplemental agreement alter, amend or modify Sections 7, 1.1, or 10.25 without
the consent of the Required Banks. Any such amendment or supplemental agreement
shall be binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the Banks, the Co-Agents, the
Administrative Agent and any of them, and a copy thereof shall be delivered by
the Administrative Agent to each of the Banks promptly upon execution. No waiver
of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default
(whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of
Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon. 

14.10    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
         -------------------------------

         Each borrowing or extension of credit under the Loan from the Banks,
each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company of principal, interest,
and annual letter of credit and Loan usage fees provided for in the Agreement on
the Loan and all proceeds from any liquidation of collateral shall be made or
applied pro rata pursuant to the respective Commitment Limits of the Banks;
provided that no Loan usage fee shall be payable to any Bank that may have
ceased to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances hereunder. 

14.11    Funding of Advances.
         -------------------

         On the date of the closing of the Loan or any later date when funds are
to be disbursed to the Company pursuant to the Loan, each Bank shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share, of the amount of the disbursement, in
funds available for immediate use, by 1:00 p.m. Columbus, Ohio, time on the same
banking day on which the Advance is made, provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall give each Bank notice of a LIBO Rate Advance promptly
after notice is received from the Company pursuant to Section 2.3 and shall use
its best efforts to give each Bank


                                       59
<PAGE>   66



notice of the funding of a Prime Interest Rate Advance no later than 4:00 p.m.,
Columbus, Ohio time on the banking day immediately preceding the day of the
advance. In the event any Bank fails or refuses to make payment to the
Administrative Agent as required herein, then the Administrative Agent, without
limitation, shall be entitled to pursue all remedies and rights permitted by
this Agreement, law, or equity and further shall be entitled to, but not be
required to, do all or any of the following: (a) fund such Bank's Pro Rata Share
of the disbursement, (b) accrue interest on any unpaid amount at the Federal
Funds Rate (as defined below), (c) withhold from such Bank all interest,
principal, fees and late charges attributable to such Bank's Pro Rata Share
thereof through the date such Bank funds its Pro Rata Share thereof and pays the
interest due thereon, plus any additional cost or expense, including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the Co-Agents or the
Administrative Agent as a result of such Bank's failure to pay, and (d) offset
against such Bank's Pro Rata Share all sums received by the Co-Agents or the
Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan until reimbursed by the Bank
that failed or refused to make such payment. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan shall be distributed pro rata to the
Banks promptly after the Administrative Agent shall have collected such payment
in immediately available funds. As used herein, "Federal Funds Rate" shall mean
for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds
transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal
funds brokers, as published for such day (for if such day is not a Business Day,
the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, of if
such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average
of quotations for such day and such transactions received by the Administrative
Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the
Administrative Agent.

14.12    Delinquency.
         -----------

         Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to
this Agreement, the Co-Agents shall consult with each Bank regarding the course
of action to be taken with respect to such default. If the Co-Agents do not
receive an agreed course of action to be taken from the Majority Banks, the
Co-Agents thereafter shall take such action or direct the Administrative Agent
to take such action as they shall in good faith deem necessary to protect the
interests of the Banks, including, but not limited to, acceleration of the Loan
or foreclosure upon any collateral. In the event


                                       60
<PAGE>   67



that the Co-Agents shall have received no direction from the Majority Banks and
shall be unable to agree on a course of action, the Administrative Agent shall,
as agent for and in the name of the Banks, promptly institute all such civil
actions as may be required to obtain judgments on all promissory notes
evidencing the Loan and to foreclose upon any collateral then held by the
Administrative Agent as agent for the Banks. The failure of the Co-Agents to
agree or of the Co-Agents or of any Bank to discuss any proposed course of
conduct with any other Bank or the Co-Agents shall not be asserted by the
Company or the Guarantor to be a breach of this Agreement by such Bank, nor will
it in any way impair the enforceability of any action taken to declare the Loan
in default and/or accelerate the maturity thereof. 

14.13    Equalization.
         ------------

         (a) If any Bank (a "Benefitted Bank") shall at any time receive any
payment of all or part of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan, or interest thereon,
or receive any property in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily
by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and property
received by any other Bank, in respect of such other Bank's Pro Rata Share of
the Loan, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt
of property is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefitted Bank shall
purchase for cash from the other Bank such portion of each such other Bank's Pro
Rata Share of the Loan, or shall provide such other Bank with the benefits of
any such property, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such
Benefitted Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or
proceeds ratably with each Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company and
the Guarantor agree that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank's Pro
Rata Share of the Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Bank were the direct holder of such portion.

         (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Co-Agents, the
Administrative Agent and the Banks provided by law, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement, each Bank shall have the right,
without prior notice to the Company or the Guarantor, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Company and the Guarantor, to the extent permitted by


                                       61
<PAGE>   68



applicable law, to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether owing
from such Bank to the Company or the Guarantor, at, or at any time after, the
occurrence of any of the above-mentioned events. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the aforesaid right of set off may be exercised by such Bank
against the Company or the Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy,
custodian, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver
or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Company or the Guarantor,
or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or the Guarantor
or against any such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or
attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that any such right of set off
shall not have been exercised by such Bank prior to the making, filing or
issuance, or service upon such Bank of, notice of, any such petition, assignment
for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of
a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant.

14.14    Assignment of Interests.
         -----------------------

         (a) This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company, the Guarantor, the Banks, the Co-Agents,
the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the promissory notes and
guarantees comprising a portion of the Loan Documents and their respective
successors and assigns, except that neither the Company nor the Guarantor may
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the
Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Bank.

         (b) Each Bank shall have the right at any time, upon the written
approval of the Co-Agents and the Company (which approval of the Company shall
not be required if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default)
following notice of its intent to do so, to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate
all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan to one or more other financial
institutions. The approval of the Co-Agents and the Company shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Every such sale, transfer or assignment, other than the
sale of a participation interest only, shall be in the minimum amount of
$10,000,000.00. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.14(c), any Bank may sell
participation interests without the approval of any other party.

         (c) Except to the extent that the Co-Agents may join additional Banks
to this Agreement as provided in Section 1 hereof, thereby ratably reducing the
Commitment Limits of The Huntington


                                       62
<PAGE>   69



National Bank and KeyBank National Association, no Bank shall, as between and
among the Company, the Guarantor, the Co-Agents, the Administrative Agent and
such Bank, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any
sale of a participation interest in all or any part of its interest in the Loan,
and each such selling Bank shall have the obligation to subservice all such
participation interests sold.

         (d) Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither The
Huntington National Bank nor KeyBank National Association shall sell, assign,
transfer or negotiate any part of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan if the effect
of such sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation would be to reduce the
Commitment Limit of such Co-Agent to less than $25,000,000.00.

         This _____ Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
(this "Amendment") is entered into at Columbus, Ohio, by and among The

hereto, and consent that, without discharging any of them, the time of payment
may be extended an unlimited number of times before or after maturity without

GUARANTY

For the purpose of inducing (NAME OF BANK) (hereinafter referred to as "Bank")
to lend money or advance credit to, or renew, extend or forbear from demanding
immediate payment of the Obligations of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
(hereinafter referred to as "Debtor"), the undersigned (hereinafter referred to
as "Guarantors" whether one or more), jointly and severally if more than one
(which joint and several liability shall exist regardless of whether additional
Guarantors have evidenced or may in the future evidence their undertaking by
executing this Guaranty, by co-signing one or more promissory notes or other
instruments of indebtedness, by executing one or more separate agreements of
guaranty of any or all of the Obligations referred to herein or otherwise),
hereby unconditionally guarantee the prompt and full payment to Bank when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of any kind for which
Debtor is now or may hereafter become liable to Bank in any manner.

The word "Obligations" is used in its most comprehensive sense and includes,
without limitation, all indebtedness, debts and liabilities (including
principal, interest, late charges, collection costs, attorneys' fees and the
like) of Debtor to Bank, either created by Debtor alone or together with another
or others, primary or secondary, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, direct or indirect, whether evidenced by note,
draft, application for letter of credit, agreements of guaranty or otherwise,
and any and all renewals of, extensions of or substitutes therefor, to the
extent that such Obligations arise from or are connected with indebtedness owed
by Debtor to Bank by reason of credit extended or to be extended to Debtor in
the principal amount of $__________, pursuant to a promissory note dated as of
May 15, 1997, and a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of May
15, 1997.

Guarantors, and each of them, hereby promise that if one or more of the
Obligations are not paid promptly when due, they, and each of them, will, upon
request of Bank, pay the Obligations to Bank, irrespective of any action or lack
of action on Bank's part in connection with the acquisition, perfection,
possession, enforcement or disposition of any or all Obligations or any or all
security therefor or otherwise, and further irrespective of any invalidity in
any or all Obligations, the unenforceability thereof or the insufficiency,
invalidity or unenforceability of any security therefor.

Guarantors waive notice of any and all acceptances of this Guaranty. This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and, in addition to covering all present
Obligations of Debtor to Bank, will extend to all future Obligations of Debtor
to Bank, and this whether such Obligations are reduced or entirely extinguished
and thereafter increased or reincurred. This Guaranty is made and will remain in
effect as to any and all Obligations of Debtor incurred or arising prior to
receipt by the loan officer of Bank who is handling Debtor's Obligations of
written notice of termination of this Guaranty. No such written notice or other
revocation will in any way affect the duties of Guarantors to Bank with respect



<PAGE>   76



to either Obligations incurred by Debtor or instruments executed by Debtor prior
to the receipt of such notice by such loan officer of Bank. In addition, no such
written notice or other revocation will in any way affect the liabilities of
Guarantors to Bank with respect to revolving Obligations of Debtor on which
loans or advances are made, whether such loans or advances are made prior or
subsequent to such notice. Revocation by any one or more of Guarantors will not
affect the duties of the remaining Guarantor or Guarantors.

Bank's rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and this Guaranty shall
be fully enforceable, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of
the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by
Bank as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Debtor,
Guarantors, or any other person, or as a result of any other fact or
circumstance, all as though such amount had not been paid.

Guarantors waive any claims or other rights which they might now have or
hereafter acquire against Debtor or any other person, guarantor, maker or
endorser primarily or contingently liable on the Obligations that arise from the
existence or performance of Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty or under
any instrument or agreement with respect to any property constituting collateral
or security herefor, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of Bank against Debtor or any collateral
security therefor which Bank now has or hereafter acquires; whether such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, under contract or statute, at common law, or
otherwise.

Guarantors waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
dishonor or other nonpayment of any and all Obligations and further waive notice
of sale or other disposition of any collateral or security now held or hereafter
acquired by Bank. Guarantors agree that no extension of time, whether one or
more, nor any other indulgence granted by Bank to Debtor, or to Guarantors, or
any of them, and no omission or delay on Bank's part in exercising any right
against, or in taking any action to collect from or pursue Bank's remedies
against Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, will release, discharge or modify
the duties of Guarantors. Guarantors agree that Bank may, without notice to or
further consent from Guarantors, release or modify any collateral, security or
other guaranties now held or hereafter acquired, or substitute other collateral,
security or other guaranties, and no such action will release, discharge or
modify the duties of Guarantors hereunder. Guarantors further agree that Bank
will not be required to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against
Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, with respect to payment of any of the
Obligations, or to pursue, exhaust or preserve any of its rights or remedies
with respect to any collateral, security or other guaranties given to secure the
Obligations, or to take any action of any sort, prior to demanding payment from
or pursuing its remedies against Guarantors.

Guarantors agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty may be instituted in a state or federal court of
appropriate subject matter jurisdiction in the State of Ohio; waive any
objection which they may have now or hereafter to the laying of venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding; and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of
any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
- --------------------------------

GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, AS TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN
GUARANTORS AND BANK, THE COMMERCIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION OUT OF WHICH THIS
GUARANTY ARISES WOULD MAKE ANY SUCH DISPUTE UNSUITABLE FOR TRIAL BY JURY.
ACCORDINGLY, GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY AND
ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR TO ANY OF THE OTHER
INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

If any Obligation of Debtor is assigned by Bank, this Guaranty will inure to the
benefit of Bank's assignee, and to the benefit of any subsequent assignee, to
the extent of the assignment or assignments, provided that no assignment will
operate to relieve Guarantors, or any of them, from any duty to Bank hereunder
with respect to any unassigned Obligation. In the event that any one or more

                                        2

of the provisions contained in this Guaranty or any application thereof shall be
determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and any
other applications thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the law of the State of
Ohio.

This Guaranty and all documents, agreements, understandings and arrangements
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be executed
or entered into on behalf of Glimcher Realty Trust by one or more officers or
trustees of Glimcher Realty Trust, which has been formed as a Maryland real
estate investment trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust of Glimcher Realty
Trust dated as of September 1, 1993, in their capacities as officers or
trustees, and not individually, and neither the trustees, officers or
shareholders of Glimcher Realty Trust shall be bound or have any personal
liability hereunder or thereunder. Bank shall look solely to the assets of
Glimcher Realty Trust for satisfaction of any liability of Glimcher Realty Trust
in respect hereof and in respect of all documents, agreements, understandings
and arrangements relating hereto and will not seek recourse or commence any
action against any of the trustees, officers or shareholders of Glimcher Realty
Trust or any of their personal assets for the performance or payment of any
obligation of Glimcher Realty Trust hereunder or thereunder. The foregoing shall
also apply to any future documents, agreements, understandings, arrangements and
transactions hereunder between Glimcher Realty Trust and Bank.

         (Items 5 through 8 above are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the

         In addition, we have examined, and relied as to matters of fact, upon
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
such trust, partnership and corporate records, agreements, documents and other
instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials
and of officers and representatives of the Borrower, the Trust and the General
Partner, and have made such other and further investigations, as we have deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth,
subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications noted below.

         In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed, and so far
as is known to us there are not facts inconsistent with, the following:

         1.       Each of the parties (other than the Borrower, the Trust or the
                  General Partner) executing any of the Transaction Documents
                  has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the
                  Transaction Documents to which such party is a signatory, and
                  such party's obligations set forth therein are legal, valid
                  and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated
                  terms except as limited (a) by bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
                  laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'
                  rights, (b) by general equitable principles, whether applied
                  in law or in equity, or (c) by applicable doctrines of
                  commercial reasonableness.

         2.       Each individual executing any of the Transaction Documents on
                  behalf of a party (other than the Borrower, the Trustee or the
                  General Partner) is duly authorized to do so.

         3.       Each individual executing any of the Transaction Documents is
                  legally competent to do so.

         4.       All documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. All
                  documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies
                  conform to the original documents. All signatures on all
                  documents are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied
                  upon by us or on

                                        3

                  our behalf are true and complete. All statements and
                  information contained in the documents (other than the matters
                  as to which we are opining) are true and complete.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         A. Each of the Transaction Documents is enforceable against the
Borrower, the Trust or the General Partner, as the case may be, which is a party
thereto, subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights, (b) general equitable principles, whether applied in law or
in equity, or (c) applicable doctrine of commercial reasonableness.

         B. Execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance of its
agreements in the Loan Agreement and the Note do not (i) violated the
Organizational Documents of the Borrower, (ii) to our knowledge, breach, or
result in a default under, any existing obligation of the Borrower under any
agreement to which the Borrower is a party, or (iii) to our knowledge, breach or
otherwise violate any existing obligation of the Borrower under any court order,
except in each case where such breach, violation or default would not either
singly or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole.

         C. Execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance by the
Borrower of its agreements in, the Loan Agreement and the Note do not violate
applicable provisions of statutory law or regulation, except where such
violation would not either singly or in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole.

         D. Execution and delivery by the Trust of, and performance of its
agreements in, the Loan Agreement and Trust Guarantees do not (i) violate the
Organizational Documents of the Trust, (ii) to our knowledge, breach, or result
in a default under, any existing obligation of the Trust under any agreement to
which the Trust is a party, or (iii) to our knowledge, breach or otherwise
violate any existing obligation of the Trust under any court order, except in
each case where such breach, violation or default would not either singly or in
the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Trust and its Subsidiaries,
take together as a whole.

         E. Execution and delivery by the Trust of, and performance by the Trust
of its agreements in, the Loan Agreement and the Trust Guarantees do not violate
applicable provisions of statutory law or regulations or adversely affect its
status as a real estate investment trust under all applicable state and federal
law, except where such violation would not either singly or in the aggregate
have a material adverse effect on the Trust and its Subsidiaries, taken together
as a whole.

         F. Execution and delivery by the General Partner of, and performance of
its agreements in, the Loan Agreement and the General Partner Guarantees do not
(i) violate the Organizational Documents of the General Partner, (ii) to our
knowledge, breach, or result in a default under, any existing obligation of the
General Partner under any agreement to which the General Partner is a party, or
(iii) to our knowledge, breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of
the General Partner

                                        4


<PAGE>   85



under any court order, except in each case where such breach, violation or
default would not either singly or in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on the General Partner and its Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole.

         G. Execution and delivery by the General Partner of, and performance by
the General Partner of its agreements in, the Loan Agreement and the General
Partner Guarantees do not violate applicable provisions of statutory law or
regulations, except where such violation would not either singly or in the
aggregate have a material adverse effect on the General Partner and its
Subsidiaries, taken together as a whole.

         The opinions expressed in this letter are based upon the law in effect
on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this
opinion should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision, or
otherwise.

         This opinion is being furnished to you solely for your benefit and the
benefit of the Banks (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and only with respect to
the transaction contemplated by the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, it may not be
relied upon by, quoted in any manner to, or delivered to, any other person or
entity (other than the Banks) without, in each instance, our prior written
consent.

                                Very truly yours,

                                 Revolving Note

$________________                Columbus, Ohio                     May 15, 1997


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, hereinafter referred to in the
plural, promise to pay to the order of (NAME OF BANK) (hereinafter called the
"Bank," which term shall include any holder hereof) at such place as the Bank
may designate or, in the absence of such designation, at any of the Bank's
offices, the sum of ___________________________ Dollars ($____________) or so
much thereof as shall have been advanced by the Bank at any time and not
hereafter repaid (hereinafter referred to as "Principal Sum") together with
interest as hereinafter provided and payable at the time(s) and in the manner(s)
hereinafter provided. The proceeds of the loan evidenced hereby may be advanced,
repaid and readvanced in partial amounts during the term of this revolving note
("Note") and prior to maturity as provided in the Loan Agreement hereinafter
described.

         This Note is executed and the advances contemplated hereunder are to be
made pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (hereinafter
called the "Loan Agreement") dated as of May 15, 1997, and all the covenants,
representations, agreements, terms, and conditions contained therein, including
but not limited to conditions of default, are incorporated herein as if fully
rewritten.

INTEREST
- --------

         Interest will accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum until
paid at the rate or rates of interest set forth in the Loan Agreement.

         Upon default, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest will
accrue on the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum and unpaid interest, if any,
until paid at a variable rate of interest per annum, which shall change in the
manner set forth below, equal to two (2) percentage points in excess of the
Prime Commercial Rate.

         All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the
actual number of days the Principal Sum or any part thereof remains unpaid.
There shall be no penalty for prepayment.

         As used herein, Prime Commercial Rate shall mean the rate established
by The Huntington National Bank from time to time as its Prime Commercial Rate
based on its consideration of economic, money market, business and competitive
factors. The Prime Commercial Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate offered to
business borrowers by The Huntington National Bank. Subject to any maximum or
minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, any
variable rate of interest on the obligation evidenced hereby shall change
automatically without notice to the undersigned immediately with each change in
the Prime Commercial Rate.

MANNER OF PAYMENT
- -----------------

         The Principal Sum shall be payable on July 31, 1998, and accrued
interest shall be due and payable monthly at the times provided in the Loan
Agreement, and at maturity, whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise.

LATE CHARGE
- -----------

         Any installment or other payment not made within 10 days of the date
such payment or installment is due shall be subject to a late charge equal to 5%
of the amount of the installment or payment.



<PAGE>   3



DEFAULT
- -------

         Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described in
Section 12 of the Loan Agreement, the Bank may, at its option, without notice or
demand, accelerate the maturity of the obligations evidenced hereby, which
obligations shall become immediately due and payable. In the event the Bank
shall institute any action for the enforcement or collection of the obligations
evidenced hereby, the undersigned agree to pay all costs and expenses of such
action, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent permitted by law.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
- ------------------

         All of the parties hereto, including the undersigned, and any indorser,
surety, or guarantor, hereby severally waive presentment, notice of dishonor,
protest, notice of protest, and diligence in bringing suit against any party
hereto, and consent that, without discharging any of them, the time of payment
may be extended an unlimited number of times before or after maturity without
notice. The Bank shall not be required to pursue any party hereto, including any
guarantor, or to exercise any rights against any collateral herefor before
exercising any other such rights.

         The obligations evidenced hereby may from time to time be evidenced by
another note or notes given in substitution, renewal or extension hereof. Any
security interest or mortgage which then secures the obligations evidenced
hereby shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
substitution, renewal, or extension.

         The captions used herein are for references only and shall not be
deemed a part of this Note. If any of the terms or provisions of this Note shall
be deemed unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms and
provisions shall not be affected. This Note shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the law of the State of Ohio.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
- --------------------------------

         THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, AS TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY
ARISE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE BANK, THE COMMERCIAL NATURE OF THE
TRANSACTION OUT OF WHICH THIS NOTE ARISES WOULD MAKE ANY SUCH DISPUTE UNSUITABLE
FOR TRIAL BY JURY. ACCORDINGLY, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY AS TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR TO
ANY OF THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

GUARANTY

For the purpose of inducing (NAME OF BANK) (hereinafter referred to as "Bank")
to lend money or advance credit to, or renew, extend or forbear from demanding
immediate payment of the Obligations of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
(hereinafter referred to as "Debtor"), the undersigned (hereinafter referred to
as "Guarantors" whether one or more), jointly and severally if more than one
(which joint and several liability shall exist regardless of whether additional
Guarantors have evidenced or may in the future evidence their undertaking by
executing this Guaranty, by co-signing one or more promissory notes or other
instruments of indebtedness, by executing one or more separate agreements of
guaranty of any or all of the Obligations referred to herein or otherwise),
hereby unconditionally guarantee the prompt and full payment to Bank when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of any kind for which
Debtor is now or may hereafter become liable to Bank in any manner.

The word "Obligations" is used in its most comprehensive sense and includes,
without limitation, all indebtedness, debts and liabilities (including
principal, interest, late charges, collection costs, attorneys' fees and the
like) of Debtor to Bank, either created by Debtor alone or together with another
or others, primary or secondary, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, direct or indirect, whether evidenced by note,
draft, application for letter of credit, agreements of guaranty or otherwise,
and any and all renewals of, extensions of or substitutes therefor, to the
extent that such Obligations arise from or are connected with indebtedness owed
by Debtor to Bank by reason of credit extended or to be extended to Debtor in
the principal amount of $__________, pursuant to a promissory note dated as of
May 15, 1997, and a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of May
15, 1997.

Guarantors, and each of them, hereby promise that if one or more of the
Obligations are not paid promptly when due, they, and each of them, will, upon
request of Bank, pay the Obligations to Bank, irrespective of any action or lack
of action on Bank's part in connection with the acquisition, perfection,
possession, enforcement or disposition of any or all Obligations or any or all
security therefor or otherwise, and further irrespective of any invalidity in
any or all Obligations, the unenforceability thereof or the insufficiency,
invalidity or unenforceability of any security therefor.

Guarantors waive notice of any and all acceptances of this Guaranty. This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and, in addition to covering all present
Obligations of Debtor to Bank, will extend to all future Obligations of Debtor
to Bank, and this whether such Obligations are reduced or entirely extinguished
and thereafter increased or reincurred. This Guaranty is made and will remain in
effect as to any and all Obligations of Debtor incurred or arising prior to
receipt by the loan officer of Bank who is handling Debtor's Obligations of
written notice of termination of this Guaranty. No such written notice or other
revocation will in any way affect the duties of Guarantors to Bank with respect



<PAGE>   3



to either Obligations incurred by Debtor or instruments executed by Debtor prior
to the receipt of such notice by such loan officer of Bank. In addition, no such
written notice or other revocation will in any way affect the liabilities of
Guarantors to Bank with respect to revolving Obligations of Debtor on which
loans or advances are made, whether such loans or advances are made prior or
subsequent to such notice. Revocation by any one or more of Guarantors will not
affect the duties of the remaining Guarantor or Guarantors.

Bank's rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and this Guaranty shall
be fully enforceable, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of
the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by
Bank as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Debtor,
Guarantors, or any other person, or as a result of any other fact or
circumstance, all as though such amount had not been paid.

Guarantors waive any claims or other rights which they might now have or
hereafter acquire against Debtor or any other person, guarantor, maker or
endorser primarily or contingently liable on the Obligations that arise from the
existence or performance of Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty or under
any instrument or agreement with respect to any property constituting collateral
or security herefor, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of Bank against Debtor or any collateral
security therefor which Bank now has or hereafter acquires; whether such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, under contract or statute, at common law, or
otherwise.

Guarantors waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
dishonor or other nonpayment of any and all Obligations and further waive notice
of sale or other disposition of any collateral or security now held or hereafter
acquired by Bank. Guarantors agree that no extension of time, whether one or
more, nor any other indulgence granted by Bank to Debtor, or to Guarantors, or
any of them, and no omission or delay on Bank's part in exercising any right
against, or in taking any action to collect from or pursue Bank's remedies
against Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, will release, discharge or modify
the duties of Guarantors. Guarantors agree that Bank may, without notice to or
further consent from Guarantors, release or modify any collateral, security or
other guaranties now held or hereafter acquired, or substitute other collateral,
security or other guaranties, and no such action will release, discharge or
modify the duties of Guarantors hereunder. Guarantors further agree that Bank
will not be required to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against
Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, with respect to payment of any of the
Obligations, or to pursue, exhaust or preserve any of its rights or remedies
with respect to any collateral, security or other guaranties given to secure the
Obligations, or to take any action of any sort, prior to demanding payment from
or pursuing its remedies against Guarantors.

Guarantors agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty may be instituted in a state or federal court of
appropriate subject matter jurisdiction in the State of Ohio; waive any
objection which they may have now or hereafter to the laying of venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding; and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of
any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

GUARANTY

For the purpose of inducing (NAME OF BANK) (hereinafter referred to as "Bank")
to lend money or advance credit to, or renew, extend or forbear from demanding
immediate payment of the Obligations of Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
(hereinafter referred to as "Debtor"), the undersigned (hereinafter referred to
as "Guarantors" whether one or more), jointly and severally if more than one
(which joint and several liability shall exist regardless of whether additional
Guarantors have evidenced or may in the future evidence their undertaking by
executing this Guaranty, by co-signing one or more promissory notes or other
instruments of indebtedness, by executing one or more separate agreements of
guaranty of any or all of the Obligations referred to herein or otherwise),
hereby unconditionally guarantee the prompt and full payment to Bank when due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of any kind for which
Debtor is now or may hereafter become liable to Bank in any manner.

The word "Obligations" is used in its most comprehensive sense and includes,
without limitation, all indebtedness, debts and liabilities (including
principal, interest, late charges, collection costs, attorneys' fees and the
like) of Debtor to Bank, either created by Debtor alone or together with another
or others, primary or secondary, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, direct or indirect, whether evidenced by note,
draft, application for letter of credit, agreements of guaranty or otherwise,
and any and all renewals of, extensions of or substitutes therefor, to the
extent that such Obligations arise from or are connected with indebtedness owed
by Debtor to Bank by reason of credit extended or to be extended to Debtor in
the principal amount of $___________, pursuant to a promissory note and dated as
of or May 15, 1997, and a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of
May 15, 1997.

Guarantors, and each of them, hereby promise that if one or more of the
Obligations are not paid promptly when due, they, and each of them, will, upon
request of Bank, pay the Obligations to Bank, irrespective of any action or lack
of action on Bank's part in connection with the acquisition, perfection,
possession, enforcement or disposition of any or all Obligations or any or all
security therefor or otherwise, and further irrespective of any invalidity in
any or all Obligations, the unenforceability thereof or the insufficiency,
invalidity or unenforceability of any security therefor.

Guarantors waive notice of any and all acceptances of this Guaranty. This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and, in addition to covering all present
Obligations of Debtor to Bank, will extend to all future Obligations of Debtor
to Bank, and this whether such Obligations are reduced or entirely extinguished
and thereafter increased or reincurred. This Guaranty is made and will remain in
effect as to any and all Obligations of Debtor incurred or arising prior to
receipt by the loan officer of Bank who is handling Debtor's Obligations of
written notice of termination of this Guaranty. No such



<PAGE>   3



written notice or other revocation will in any way affect the duties of
Guarantors to Bank with respect to either Obligations incurred by Debtor or
instruments executed by Debtor prior to the receipt of such notice by such loan
officer of Bank. In addition, no such written notice or other revocation will in
any way affect the liabilities of Guarantors to Bank with respect to revolving
Obligations of Debtor on which loans or advances are made, whether such loans or
advances are made prior or subsequent to such notice. Revocation by any one or
more of Guarantors will not affect the duties of the remaining Guarantor or
Guarantors.

Bank's rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and this Guaranty shall
be fully enforceable, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of
the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by
Bank as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Debtor,
Guarantors, or any other person, or as a result of any other fact or
circumstance, all as though such amount had not been paid.

Guarantors waive any claims or other rights which they might now have or
hereafter acquire against Debtor or any other person, guarantor, maker or
endorser primarily or contingently liable on the Obligations that arise from the
existence or performance of Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty or under
any instrument or agreement with respect to any property constituting collateral
or security herefor, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of Bank against Debtor or any collateral
security therefor which Bank now has or hereafter acquires; whether such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, under contract or statute, at common law, or
otherwise.

Guarantors waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of
dishonor or other nonpayment of any and all Obligations and further waive notice
of sale or other disposition of any collateral or security now held or hereafter
acquired by Bank. Guarantors agree that no extension of time, whether one or
more, nor any other indulgence granted by Bank to Debtor, or to Guarantors, or
any of them, and no omission or delay on Bank's part in exercising any right
against, or in taking any action to collect from or pursue Bank's remedies
against Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, will release, discharge or modify
the duties of Guarantors. Guarantors agree that Bank may, without notice to or
further consent from Guarantors, release or modify any collateral, security or
other guaranties now held or hereafter acquired, or substitute other collateral,
security or other guaranties, and no such action will release, discharge or
modify the duties of Guarantors hereunder. Guarantors further agree that Bank
will not be required to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against
Debtor or Guarantors, or any of them, with respect to payment of any of the
Obligations, or to pursue, exhaust or preserve any of its rights or remedies
with respect to any collateral, security or other guaranties given to secure the
Obligations, or to take any action of any sort, prior to demanding payment from
or pursuing its remedies against Guarantors.

Guarantors agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty may be instituted in a state or federal court of
appropriate subject matter jurisdiction in the State of Ohio; waive any
objection which they may have now or hereafter to the laying of venue of any

a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called "Debtor"), for valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
hereby grants, pledges and assigns to The Huntington National Bank, as
Administrative Agent for a bank lending group pursuant to a Second Amended and
Restated Loan Agreement dated as of May 15, 1997 (hereinafter called "Bank"), a
security interest in all of Debtor's accounts, accounts receivable, contract
rights, general intangibles, and other forms of obligations and receivables
arising from or in connection with Debtor's rights under the swap agreement
entered into by and between Debtor and KeyBank National Association pursuant to
a Master Agreement dated as of July 19, 1995, and a Confirmation dated as of
July 12, 1995, or pursuant to any other swap agreement or interest rate
protection contract entered into by Debtor in modification thereof or in
substitution therefor, and all books, records, ledger cards, computer programs
and other documents or property at any time evidencing or relating to the
foregoing receivables (hereinafter sometimes called the "Receivables"), whether
Debtor's interest in the Collateral (defined below) be now owned or existing or
hereafter arising or acquired, and wherever located, together with all
substitutions, replacements and additions therefor or thereto and all cash and
non-cash proceeds thereof including, but not limited to, notes, drafts, checks
and instruments (all of the foregoing hereinafter called the "Collateral").

         The security interest hereby granted is to secure the prompt and full
payment and complete performance of all Obligations of Debtor to Bank. The word
"Obligations" is used in its most comprehensive sense and includes, without
limitation, all indebtedness, debts and liabilities (including principal,
interest, late charges, collection costs, attorneys' fees to the extent
permitted by law and the like) of Debtor to Bank, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, either created by Debtor alone or together with another or
others, primary or secondary, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, direct or indirect, whether evidenced by note,
draft, application for letter of credit or otherwise, and any and all renewals
of or substitutes therefor, arising out of or by reason of the Second Amended
and Restated Loan Agreement entered into as of May 15, 1997, by and among
Debtor, as borrower, Glimcher Realty Trust and Glimcher Properties Corporation
as guarantors, The Huntington National Bank and KeyBank National Association as
Co-Agents for a bank lending group named therein, and Bank, as Administrative
Agent (the "Loan Agreement").

         It is Debtor's express intention that this agreement and the continuing
security interest granted hereby, in addition to covering all present
Obligations of Debtor to Bank, shall extend to all future Obligations of Debtor
to Bank under the Loan Agreement, whether or not such Obligations are reduced or
entirely extinguished and thereafter increased or reincurred, whether or not
such Obligations are related to the indebtedness identified above by class, type
or kind and whether or not such Obligations are specifically contemplated by
Debtor and Bank as of the date hereof. The absence of any reference to this
agreement in any documents, instruments or agreements evidencing or relating to
any Obligation secured hereby shall not limit or be construed to limit the scope
or applicability of this agreement.



<PAGE>   3



          1. GENERAL COVENANTS. Debtor represents, warrants and covenants as
follows:

                  (a) Debtor is, or as to Collateral arising or to be acquired
after the date hereof, shall be, the sole and exclusive owner of the Collateral,
and the Collateral is and shall remain free from any and all liens, security
interests, encumbrances, claims and interests and no security agreement,
financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation
statement covering any of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public
office.

                  (b) Debtor shall not create, permit or suffer to exist, and
shall take such action as is necessary to remove, any claim to or interest in or
lien or encumbrance upon the Collateral, other than the security interest
granted hereby, and shall defend the right, title and interest of Bank in and to
the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons and entities at any
time claiming the same or any interest therein.

                  (c) Debtor's principal place of business and chief executive
office is located at the address set forth at the beginning of this agreement;
unless Debtor gives Bank notice in writing of a change in the location of the
Collateral and Debtor's records concerning the Receivables prior to such a
change in location, the Collateral and Debtor's records concerning the
Receivables shall be kept at that address.

                  (d) At least thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence of any
of the following events, Debtor shall deliver to the loan officer who is
handling Debtor's Obligations on behalf of Bank written notice of such impending
events: (i) a change in Debtor's principal place of business or chief executive
office; or (ii) a change in Debtor's name, identity or corporate structure.

                  (e) Subject to any limitation stated therein or in connection
therewith, all information furnished by Debtor concerning the Collateral or
otherwise in connection with the Obligations, is or shall be at the time the
same is furnished, accurate, correct and complete in all material respects.

          2. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. Debtor shall, unless otherwise directed
by Bank, following the occurrence of an event of default hereunder, collect all
of Debtor's Receivables. With respect to any Receivables collected by the Bank
after the occurrence of an event of default, Debtor authorizes Bank to indorse
the name of Debtor upon any checks or other items received in payment of any
Receivable and to do any and all things necessary in order to reduce the same to
money. All amounts received by Bank representing payment of Receivables may be
applied by Bank to the payment of the Obligations in such order of preference as
Bank may determine, or Bank may, at its option, impound all or any portion of
such amounts and retain said amounts as security for the payment of the
Obligations, with the right on the part of Debtor, upon approval by Bank, to
obtain the release of all or part of such impounded amounts. Bank may, however,
at any time following an event of default, apply all or any part of such
impounded amounts as aforesaid. If so directed by Bank, Debtor shall hold all
payments of any Receivable in trust for Bank and shall forthwith deliver the
same to Bank in the form received by Debtor without commingling with any funds
of Debtor.

                  Debtor agrees to execute, deliver, file and record all such
notices, affidavits, assignments, financing statements and other instruments as
shall in the judgment of Bank be necessary or desirable to evidence, validate
and perfect the security interest of Bank in the Receivables. Bank shall have
the right following an event of default to notify any persons or entities owing
any Receivables and to demand and receive payment, but Bank shall have no duty
so to do. Upon request of Bank at any time after an event of default, Debtor
shall notify such account debtors that the accounts are payable to Bank.

          3. INSPECTION. Debtor shall at all times keep accurate and complete
records of the Receivables and Debtor shall, at all reasonable times and from
time to time, allow Bank, by or through any of its officers, agents, attorneys
or accountants, to examine, inspect and make extracts from Debtor's books and
records and to arrange for verification of the Receivables directly with account
debtors or by other methods and to examine and inspect the Collateral wherever
located.

                                        2


<PAGE>   4



          4. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Debtor shall perform, do, make, execute and
deliver all such additional and further acts, things, deeds, assurances and
instruments as Bank may require to more completely vest in and assure to Bank
its rights hereunder and in or to the Collateral.

          5. PRESERVATION AND DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL.

                  (a) Debtor shall advise Bank promptly, in writing and in
reasonable detail, (i) of any material encumbrance upon or claim asserted
against any of the Collateral; (ii) of any material change in the composition of
the Collateral; and (iii) of the occurrence of any other event that would have a
material effect upon the aggregate value of the Collateral or upon the security
interest of Bank.

                  (b) Debtor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral.

                  (c) Debtor shall not use the Collateral in violation of any
statute, ordinance, regulation, rule, decree or order.

                  (d) Debtor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments,
charges or levies upon the Collateral or in respect to the income or profits
therefrom, except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the validity thereof
is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (ii) such
proceedings do not involve any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of any
Collateral or any interest therein; and (iii) such charge is adequately reserved
against in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  (e) At its option, Bank may discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral.
Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank upon demand for any payment made or any expense
incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law)
by Bank pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Should Debtor fail to pay said
sum to Bank upon demand, interest shall accrue thereon, from the date of demand
until paid in full, at the highest rate set forth in any document or instrument
evidencing any of the Obligations.

          6. EXTENSIONS AND COMPROMISES. With respect to any Collateral held by
Bank as security for the Obligations, Debtor assents to all extensions or
postponements of the time of payment thereof or any other indulgence in
connection therewith, to each substitution, exchange or release of Collateral,
to the addition or release of any party primarily or secondarily liable, to the
acceptance of partial payments thereon and to the settlement, compromise or
adjustment thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Bank may
deem advisable. Bank shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of
Collateral or any income therefrom, nor as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any right pertaining thereto,
beyond the safe custody of Collateral in the possession of Bank.

          7. FINANCING STATEMENTS. At the request of Bank, Debtor shall join
with Bank in executing one or more financing statements in a form satisfactory
to Bank and shall pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever
filing is deemed by Bank to be necessary or desirable. A carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this agreement or of a financing statement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement.

          8. BANK'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Debtor hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Bank and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name
of Debtor or in Bank's own name, from time to time in Bank's discretion, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may
be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this agreement and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby grants to Bank the
power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor:

                  (a) To execute, file and record all such financing statements
and similar documents and instruments as Bank may deem necessary or desirable to
protect, perfect and validate Bank's security interest in the Collateral.

<PAGE>   5



                  (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any event of
default under paragraph 9 hereof, (i) to sign and indorse any invoices, drafts
against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with
accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (ii) to commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (iii) to defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (iv)
to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above
and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Bank may
deem appropriate; and (v) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully
and completely as though Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
and to do, at Bank's option and Debtor's expense, at any time or from time to
time, all acts and things which Bank deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and Bank's security interest therein, in order to
effect the intent of this agreement, all as fully and effectively as Debtor
might do.

                  Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

                  The powers conferred upon Bank hereunder are solely to protect
its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Bank to
exercise any such powers. Bank shall be accountable only for amounts that Bank
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither Bank
nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Bank's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

          9. DEFAULT. If any event of default in the payment of any of the
Obligations or in the performance of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions
of any instrument or document evidencing the Obligations secured by this
agreement or in the performance of any covenant contained herein shall occur and
be continuing; or if any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished
to Bank by Debtor proves to have been false in any material respect when made or
furnished:

                  (a) Bank may, at its option subject to provisions for notice
and rights to cure as contained in the Loan Agreement, declare the unpaid
balance of any or all of the Obligations immediately due and payable and this
agreement and any or all of the Obligations in default.

                  (b) All payments received by Debtor under or in connection
with any of the Collateral shall be held by Debtor in trust for Bank, shall be
segregated from other funds of Debtor and shall forthwith upon receipt by Debtor
be turned over to Bank in the same form as received by Debtor (duly indorsed by
Debtor to Bank, if required). Any and all such payments so received by Bank
(whether from Debtor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Bank, be held
by Bank as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter be
applied in whole or in part by Bank against, all or any part of the Obligations
in such order as Bank may elect. Any balance of such payments held by Bank and
remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to
Debtor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Nothing
set forth in this subparagraph (b) shall authorize or be construed to authorize
Debtor to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral.

                  (c) Bank shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party
under this agreement, under any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to the Obligations and under the law of the State of
Ohio. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have the
right to take possession of the Collateral and all books and records relating to
the Collateral and for that purpose Bank may enter upon any premises on which
the Collateral or books and records relating to the Collateral or any part
thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom. Debtor expressly agrees
that Bank, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except the notices specified below of time and place of
public sale or disposition or time after which a private sale or disposition is
to occur) to or upon Debtor or any other person or entity (all and each of which
demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any
part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or
contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or

                                        4


<PAGE>   6



more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any of Bank's offices or
elsewhere at such prices as Bank may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Bank shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Debtor. Bank
shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the
care or safekeeping of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to
the rights of Bank hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent
permitted by law and reasonable legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in
part of the Obligations, in such order as Bank may elect, and only after so
paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Bank of any other amount
required by any provision of law, including Ohio Revised Code Section
1309.47(A)(3), need Bank account for the surplus, if any, to Debtor. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and
demands against Bank arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or
disposition of the Collateral. Debtor agrees that Bank need not give more than
seven (7) days' notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed,
postage prepaid, addressed to Debtor at Debtor's address set forth at the
beginning of this agreement, or when telecopied or telegraphed to that address
or when telephoned or otherwise communicated orally to Debtor or any agent of
Debtor at that address) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time
after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable
notification of such matters. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if
the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all amounts to which Bank is entitled. Debtor shall also be liable for the
costs of collecting any of the Obligations or otherwise enforcing the terms
thereof or of this agreement including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent
permitted by law.

         10. GENERAL. Any provision of this agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Bank shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights
hereunder or under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by Debtor
unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Bank. No delay or omission on the
part of Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or
any other right. All of Bank's rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or
by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Any written demand upon or written notice
to Debtor shall be effective when deposited in the mails addressed to Debtor at
the address shown at the beginning of this agreement. This agreement and all
rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity
and performance, shall be governed by the law of the State of Ohio. The
provisions hereof shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit
of, the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns of
Debtor and Bank.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor has signed this agreement this 15th day of
May, 1997.

<PAGE>   3



Mortgaged Property unto Huntington and its successors and assigns, against the
claim or claims of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part
thereof, except rights of tenants in possession under leases, and easements,
agreements and restrictions of record and current real estate taxes and
assessments.

         This Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (the
"Mortgage") is given for the purpose of securing (i) loan advances which the
Banks are obligated to make to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Loan Agreement, which advances may be advanced, repaid and readvanced (ii)
letters of credit, which Huntington is obligated to issue for the account of
Borrower pursuant to the terms and condition of the Loan Agreement and (iii) any
other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower provided for in the Loan
Agreement.

         The parties hereto intend that, in addition to any other indebtedness
or obligations secured hereby, the Mortgage shall secure unpaid balances of loan
advances made and unreimbursed payments under letters of credit issued both
before and after the Mortgage is delivered to the Recorder for record. Such loan
advances and letter of credit obligations are and will be evidenced by notes of
Borrower payable to the Banks and reimbursement agreements delivered to
Huntington. The maximum amount of unpaid loan indebtedness, which shall consist
of unpaid balances of loan advances made both before and after the Mortgage is
delivered to the Recorder for record and unreimbursed payments under letters of
credit issued both before and after the Mortgage is delivered to the Recorder
for record, exclusive of interest thereon and of advances for taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums and costs incurred for protection of the
Mortgaged Property, which may be outstanding at any time is One Hundred Ninety
Million Dollars ($190,000,000.00).

         THE MORTGAGE IS GIVEN TO SECURE: the full and prompt payment, whether
at stated maturity, accelerated maturity or otherwise, of any and all
indebtedness, whether fixed or contingent (collectively the "Indebtedness") and
the complete, faithful and punctual performance of any and all other obligations
(collectively the "Obligations") of Borrower under the terms and conditions of
(a) the Loan Agreement; (b) the Notes from time to time made by Borrower
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, not to exceed in the aggregate the principal
amount of One Hundred Ninety Million Dollars ($190,000,000.00), payable not
later than July 31, 1998, unless extended, and any and all renewals, amendments,
modifications, reductions and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor
(collectively the "Notes"); (c) the reimbursement agreements delivered to
Huntington from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (d) the Mortgage;
and (e) any other instrument, document, certificate or affidavit heretofore, now
or hereafter given by Borrower evidencing or securing all or any part of the
foregoing (the same together with the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the
Mortgage, collectively the "Loan Documents").

         Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants
with Huntington, its successors and assigns, that:

         1. TITLE. Borrower represents that it has good and marketable title in
fee simple to the Mortgaged Property, except for rights of tenants in possession
under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other matters and
encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's policy of
title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the lien of
the Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions"). If the interest of Huntington in the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or shall be attacked,
directly or indirectly, Borrower hereby authorizes Huntington, at Borrower's
expense, to take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such
interest, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of
litigation and the compromise or discharge of claims made against such interest.
Any sums so expended by Huntington shall be charged against Borrower and
collectible in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof.

         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Mortgaged Property.

                                        2


<PAGE>   4



         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Borrower shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease
(except for leases in the ordinary course of Borrower's business) or otherwise
convey or further encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or
legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise transfer any beneficial interests in Borrower which individually or in
the aggregate would have the effect of transferring the power to direct the
operations of Borrower or the Mortgaged Property; (c) contract for any of the
same; (d) permit the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or legal,
equitable or beneficial interest therein, to be subject to any superior or
inferior lien or encumbrance; (e) subdivide, resubdivide or submit to the
condominium form of ownership all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion thereof; or (f) initiate or acquiesce in any change in the zoning
classification of the Property or any portion thereof.

         5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower shall promptly pay the
Indebtedness as the same becomes due and payable.

         6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall furnish to Huntington within
ten (10) days of any written request of Huntington, a written statement, duly
acknowledged by Borrower, setting forth the sums secured by the Mortgage and any
right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Borrower alleges to exist
against such sums and obligations secured by the Mortgage.

         7. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Borrower shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Mortgage or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Borrower, at Borrower's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Borrower may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Borrower shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to
be sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Borrower shall maintain adequate book
reserves with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Borrower, then the Mortgaged Property shall be withdrawn from
the Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan Agreement). In the
event the withdrawal of the Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool causes
Borrower not to be in compliance with the required loan to value ratio under the
Loan Agreement, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as provided in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         8. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:

                         (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the
Improvements and the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks
covered by insurance of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of
physical loss", in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
replacement cost of the Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to
prevent Borrower and Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with
terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                                        3


<PAGE>   5



                         (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability
insurance, insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or
property damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                         (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including
employer's liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for
all employees of Borrower engaged on or with respect to the Property and the
Improvements in the limits established by law or, if limits are not so
established, in such amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                         (d) During the course of any development or
construction of the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance
against "all risks of physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage,
in the amounts set forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and
conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                         (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Mortgaged Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with
terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                         (f) If the Improvements are located in a
federally-designated flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the
maximum amount available and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to
Huntington; and

                         (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount,
as may from time to time be reasonably required by Huntington against the same
or other hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Mortgage shall contain an
endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any
act or negligence of Borrower, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
deductions against Borrower are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be
canceled or changed except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice delivered to Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.

         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Borrower shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Borrower shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest
therein or the occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall indemnify,
defend and hold Huntington harmless from all liability by reason of said
litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
Huntington in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is
prosecuted to judgment. Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover
against Huntington, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for
loss of or damage to Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, other property of
Borrower or the

                                        4


<PAGE>   6



property of others under control of Borrower from any cause insured against or
required to be insured against by the provisions of the Mortgage.

         Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Borrower shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall prevent Borrower from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 8 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Mortgage; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall
specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Improvements
and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount otherwise
required to be carried under the Mortgage; (ii) shall not contain any clause
which would result in the insured thereunder becoming a co-insurer of any loss
with the insurer under such policy; and (iii) shall in all other respects comply
with the provisions of the Mortgage.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $5,000,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Borrower, and used
by Borrower to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Borrower should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the
fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is indicated, Huntington shall be
entitled, at its option, to cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Borrower with
the loan to value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results
of such reappraisal causes Borrower not to be in compliance with the required
loan to value ratio, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as
provided for in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in
an amount which will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $5,000,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on the Mortgaged Property as existed immediately prior to the
loss and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington.
In the event Huntington believes it is necessary in order to establish value,
Huntington may, at its option, cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Huntington.

         Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         9. ESCROW. Borrower, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Mortgage, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Borrower shall fail to timely
pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the event
of any other default and Huntington does not

                                        5


<PAGE>   7



then elect to exercise its other remedies, then Borrower shall, upon request of
Huntington, pay to Huntington on the first day of each month, until the
Indebtedness is fully paid, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or
estimated yearly taxes, assessments, premiums for such insurance as may be
required by the terms hereof. Huntington shall hold such monthly payments which
may be mingled with its general funds, without obligation to pay interest
thereon, unless otherwise required by applicable law, to pay such taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums when due. Borrower agrees that sufficient
funds shall be so accumulated for the payment of said charges one (1) month
prior to the due date thereof and that Borrower shall furnish Huntington with
proper statements covering the same fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates
thereof. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or if Huntington should
take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the amount so accumulated shall be credited
on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If the total of the monthly
payments as made under this Section 9 shall exceed the payments actually made by
Huntington, such excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments of the
same nature, but if the total of such monthly payments so made under this
Section 9 shall be insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums then due, then said Borrower shall pay upon demand the amount necessary
to make up the deficiency, which payments shall be secured by the Mortgage. To
the extent that all the provisions of this Section 9 for such payments of taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums to Huntington, are complied with, Borrower
shall be relieved of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8
herein as to the amounts paid only, but nothing contained in this Section 9
shall be construed as in any way limiting the rights of Huntington at its option
to pay any and all of said items when due.

         10. WASTE; REPAIR. Borrower shall neither commit nor permit any waste
on the Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on the
Property in good condition and repair.

         11. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Borrower shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at Borrower's expense.

         12. ADVANCES SECURED BY MORTGAGE. Upon failure of Borrower to comply
with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property
or Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable by
Borrower, shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and be secured by the
Mortgage and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         13. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Borrower shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Mortgage was executed. Borrower shall
comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body applicable to the Mortgaged Property, both during the
construction of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to the
completion thereof, and Borrower shall not permit the use thereof for any
illegal purpose.

         14. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property after reasonable notice
to Borrower and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Mortgaged Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Borrower shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         15. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property. The term "minerals" as
used herein shall include, without limitation, oil,

                                        6


<PAGE>   8



gas, casinghead gas, coal, lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide,
helium, uranium and all other natural elements, compounds and substances,
including sand and gravel.

         16. CONDEMNATION. If all the Mortgaged Property and Improvements are
taken or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Borrower, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

         In the event a portion of the Property Improvements are acquired in any
condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to
the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount of
$5,000,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain award shall be
paid to Borrower, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in paragraph 8
hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where the damage
or destruction is in an amount of $5,000,000.00 or less. The provisions of
paragraph 8 with respect to reappraisal and substitute property where there is
damage or destruction in an amount of $5,000,000.00 or less shall apply as if
fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $5,000,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award
shall be deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
8 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $5,000,000.00 or greater. The
conditions to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be
satisfied that the repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size,
quality and value to those which existed previously, and the right to cause the
Mortgaged Property to be reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or
destruction of $5,000,000.00 or greater, shall be applicable as if fully
rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         17. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES.

                         (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally
assigns, transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and
assigns all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property (the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and
any guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents,
royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or
which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals
thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Borrower under the
Leases for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same
were supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following
default under the Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance
covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any
part of the Mortgaged Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues,
profits and other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called
"Rents"), together with any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have
against any tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents
so assigned. Prior to an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Borrower
shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit
of Huntington and Borrower.

                                       7


<PAGE>   9



                         (b) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees
that:

                        (i) Borrower has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Borrower has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

                        (ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations
and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                        (iii) Borrower shall generally operate and maintain the
Mortgaged Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                        (iv) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.

                        (v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under any of
the Leases; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Borrower immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Huntington or make
Huntington responsible or liable for any negligence in the management,
operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or
injury or death to any party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                        (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid directly
to Huntington, and Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases (or any
other parties in possession of the Mortgaged Property) to pay all of the Rents
directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for which
this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                        (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to manage, operate, lease and
develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Mortgaged Property as Huntington,
in its sole discretion, may deem proper; and

                        (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
into and upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof, and to appoint
an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings to have
a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 17(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Mortgaged
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of

                                        8


<PAGE>   10



evidence of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any of them, or in the reduction
of the Indebtedness and the payment of interest, as Huntington may elect. If the
Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and
managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by
Huntington for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Huntington
secured by the Mortgage. Unless Huntington and Borrower agree in writing to
other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon demand from
Huntington to Borrower and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at
the Default Rate of Interest stated in the Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to foreclose the Mortgage
or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon. Huntington shall have
such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the value of the Mortgaged
Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the solvency or
insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or the other
sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Borrower, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases.

                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         18. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Mortgage is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of
Ohio (the "UCC") for any of the Mortgaged Property comprising personal property
and fixtures which may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the UCC,
and Borrower hereby grants to Huntington a security interest in said personal
property and fixtures, whether said property is now existing or hereafter
acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts, additions, repairs and
accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and, if sold or otherwise
disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof. Borrower
agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing statements covering
said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in such form as
Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of Huntington's
security interest with respect to said personal property and fixtures. Borrower
shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof and additions
thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth in Section 19
hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and,
at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided in Section 19
hereof with respect to such property.

         19. DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by this reference
herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default beyond any applicable
cure period, at the option of Huntington, without notice or demand, the same
being hereby expressly waived, the entire amount shall become immediately due
and payable, and, in addition to any other right or remedy which Huntington may
now or hereafter have at law, in equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington
shall have the right and power: (a) to foreclose upon the Mortgage and the lien
hereof; (b) to sell the Mortgaged Property according to law; and (c) to enter
upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and/or have a receiver
appointed therefor as set forth in Section 17 hereof.

         20. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns, any junior lienholder or any of the
Guarantors, without liability on Huntington's part and notwithstanding
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement

                                        9


<PAGE>   11



of Borrower in the Mortgage, extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness, or
any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of
said Indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor, release from the
lien of the Mortgage any part of the Mortgaged Property, take or release other
or additional security, reconvey any part of the Mortgaged Property, consent to
any map or plan of the Mortgaged Property, consent to the granting of any
easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, or agree in writing
with Borrower to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the
Note or to change the amount of the monthly installments payable thereunder. Any
actions taken by Huntington pursuant to the terms of this Section 20 shall not
affect the obligation of Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the
sums secured by the Mortgage and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained
herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any of the Guarantors, and shall not
affect the lien or priority of lien of the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property.
Borrower shall pay Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such
title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's
option for any such action if taken at Borrower's request.

         21. PARCELS; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. In the event of foreclosure of the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels or as an
entirety as Huntington may elect.

         Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the
Mortgaged Property held by Huntington or by any other party, Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who becomes liable for Borrower's
obligations and covenants under the Mortgage, and any party who now or hereafter
acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof,
hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in
connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided herein.

         22. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Huntington
all costs of foreclosing the Mortgage, and all costs of enforcing, collecting
and securing, and of attempting to enforce, collect and secure, the Notes,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees,
court costs, notice charges and title insurance charges, whether such attempt be
made by suit, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due
Huntington under the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree
rendered.

         23. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         24. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with
Huntington that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (i) "Environmental Laws" mean all federal, state and
local laws, statutes, ordinances and codes relating to the use, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance and the rules, regulations, policies,
guidelines, interpretations, decisions, orders and directives with respect
thereto.

                        (ii) "Hazardous Substance" means, without limitation,
any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, urea formaldehyde
foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum and petroleum based
products, methane, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic
substances or related materials, as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections
9601, ET SEQ.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49
U.S.C. Sections 1801, ET SEQ.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, ET SEQ.), the Toxic Substances Control Act, as
amended (15 U.S.C. Sections 2601, ET SEQ.), or any other applicable
Environmental Law.

                        (iii) "Indemnitee" means Huntington, the Banks, their
participants in the loan evidenced by the Notes and all subsequent holders of
the Mortgage, their respective successors

                                       10


<PAGE>   12



and assigns, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives, contractors and subcontractors and any subsequent owner of the
Property and Improvements who acquires title thereto from or through Huntington.

                        (iv) "Release" has the same meaning as given to that
term in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, et seq.) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         (b) Borrower represents and warrants to Huntington that, to its
knowledge after due investigation: (i) the Property and Improvements are not
being or have not been used for the storage, treatment, generation,
transportation, processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance in violation of any Environmental Laws; (ii) the Property and
Improvements do not contain any Hazardous Substances in violation of any
Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no Release of any Hazardous Substance
on, at or from the Property and Improvements or any property adjacent to or
within the immediate vicinity of the Property and Improvements and Borrower has
not received any form of notice or inquiry with regard to such a Release or
threat of such a Release; (iv) no event has occurred with respect to the
Property and Improvements which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a violation of any applicable Environmental
Law; (v) there are no agreements or orders or directives of any federal, state
or local governmental agency or authority relating to the Property and
Improvements which require any work, repair, construction, containment, clean
up, investigations, studies, removal or other remedial action with respect to
the Property and Improvements; and (vi) there are no actions, suits, claims or
proceedings, pending or threatened, which seek any remedy, that arise out of the
condition, ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or conveyance of the
Property and Improvements and (1) a violation or alleged violation of any
applicable Environmental Law, (2) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a
Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release, or (3) human
exposure to any Hazardous Substance.

         (c) Borrower covenants and agrees with Huntington as follows:

                        (i) Borrower shall keep, and shall cause all operators,
tenants, subtenants, licensees and occupants of the Property and Improvements to
keep, the Property and Improvements free of all Hazardous Substances, except for
Hazardous Substances stored, treated, generated, transported, processed,
handled, produced or disposed of in the normal operation of the Property and
Improvements as a shopping center in accordance with all Environmental Laws.

                        (ii) Borrower shall comply with, and shall cause all
operators, tenants, subtenants, licensee and occupants of the Property and
Improvements to comply with, all Environmental Laws.

                        (iii) Borrower shall promptly provide Huntington with a
copy of all notifications which it gives or receives with respect to any past or
present Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release on,
at or from the Property and Improvements or any property adjacent to or within
the immediate vicinity of the Property and Improvements.

                        (iv) Borrower shall undertake and complete all
investigations, studies, sampling and testing for Hazardous Substances
reasonably required by Huntington and, in accordance with all Environmental
Laws, all removal and other remedial actions necessary to contain, remove and
clean up all Hazardous Substances that are determined to be present at the
Property and Improvements in violation of any Environmental Laws.

                        (v) Huntington shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any violation by Borrower of the Environmental Laws and
Huntington's cost and expense to so cure shall be secured by the Mortgage.

         (d) Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to
indemnify, defend and save harmless Indemnitee from and against any and all
damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation,
demands, defenses, judgments, suits, actions, proceedings, costs, disbursements
and/or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees

                                       11


<PAGE>   13



and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Indemnitee arising out of the
condition, ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or conveyance of the
Property and Improvements and (i) the storage, treatment generation,
transportation, processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a Release of any
Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release, (iii) human exposure to any
Hazardous Substance, (iv) a violation of any Environmental Law, or (v) a
material misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or
material breach of or failure to perform any covenant made by Borrower herein
(collectively, the "Indemnified Matters").

         The liability of Borrower to Indemnitee hereunder shall in no way be
limited, abridged, impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the repayment of all
sums and the satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower under the Notes, the
Mortgage or other Loan Documents, (ii) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the
acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, (iii) any amendment or modification of the
Loan Documents by or for the benefit of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the
Property and Improvements, (iv) any extensions of time for payment or
performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release or discharge
of the Mortgage or of Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any other person from
the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or
conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents whether by Huntington, by
operation of law or otherwise, (vi) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of
the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, (vii) any exculpatory provision
contained in any of the Loan Documents limiting Huntington recourse to property
encumbered by the Mortgage or to any other security or limiting Huntington
rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (viii) any applicable statute
of limitations, (ix) the sale or assignment of the Notes or the Mortgage, (x)
the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or part of the Property and
Improvements, (xi) the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, (xii) the death
or legal incapacity of Borrower, (xiii) the release or discharge, in whole or in
part, of Borrower in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding, or (xiv) any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or
discharge, in whole or in part, of Borrower under the Notes or the Mortgage.

         The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities Borrower may have to Huntington at common law.

         25. SUBORDINATE MORTGAGES. Borrower shall not, without the prior
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, grant or permit to be created any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, covering any of the
Mortgaged Property (each a "Subordinate Mortgage"). If Huntington consents to a
Subordinate Mortgage or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall
contain express covenants to the effect that:

                  (a) the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated therein by reference is and always shall be unconditionally
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to all advances made pursuant to,
and sums secured by, the Mortgage, and the Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated herein by reference may be renewed, extended, restructured,
modified, increased or reinstated at any time without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Mortgage holder;

                  (b) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases shall
be named as a party defendant and no action shall be taken which would terminate
any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Huntington;

                  (c) in the event of any conflict between the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage shall prevail;

                                       12


<PAGE>   14



                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Indebtedness
and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the
Mortgaged Property in such order as Huntington may determine, prior to being
applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage;

                  (e) a copy of any notice of default under the Subordinate
Mortgage and written notice and opportunity to cure of not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce
the Subordinate Mortgage shall be given to Huntington; and

                  (f) the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage shall acknowledge
the existence of the Indebtedness secured hereby and further acknowledge that
the lien of the Mortgage shall at all times be and remain superior and prior to
the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage to the extent of the entire Indebtedness
secured hereby, notwithstanding any change in the variable rate of interest
being charged under the Notes.

         26. PRIORITY OF MORTGAGE LIEN. Huntington, at Huntington's option, is
authorized and empowered to do all things provided to be done by a mortgagee
under Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code, and any present or future
amendments or supplements thereto, for the protection of Huntington's interest
in the Mortgaged Property.

         27. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing. If mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, then such shall
be effective upon its deposit in the mails. Notice given in any other manner
shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of
notice, the addresses of Borrower and Huntington shall be as set forth below;
provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's
address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United
States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

benefits and advantages shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of
the parties hereto. Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural,

any provision of the Mortgage is illegal, or hereafter rendered illegal, or is
for any other reason void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable, or hereafter
rendered void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of the
Mortgage shall not be affected thereby, but shall be construed as if it does not
contain such provision. Each right and remedy provided in the Mortgage is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under the Mortgage or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or
successively, in any order whatsoever. The Mortgage shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the State of Ohio.

         HUNTINGTON, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS MORTGAGE, AND BORROWER HEREBY
MUTUALLY, VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE OTHER ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH,
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
THERETO OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREBY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT TO HUNTINGTON AND BORROWER TO ENTER INTO THIS TRANSACTION. IT SHALL
NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY HUNTINGTON'S ABILITY TO
PURSUE ITS REMEDIES.

this 15th day of May, 1997.

<PAGE>   3



Mortgaged Property unto Huntington and its successors and assigns, against the
claim or claims of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part
thereof, except rights of tenants in possession under leases, and easements,
agreements and restrictions of record and current real estate taxes and
assessments.

         This Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (the
"Mortgage") is given for the purpose of securing (i) loan advances which the
Banks are obligated to make to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Loan Agreement, which advances may be advanced, repaid and readvanced (ii)
letters of credit, which Huntington is obligated to issue for the account of
Borrower pursuant to the terms and condition of the Loan Agreement and (iii) any
other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower provided for in the Loan
Agreement.

         The parties hereto intend that, in addition to any other indebtedness
or obligations secured hereby, the Mortgage shall secure unpaid balances of loan
advances made and unreimbursed payments under letters of credit issued both
before and after the Mortgage is delivered to the Recorder for record. Such loan
advances and letter of credit obligations are and will be evidenced by notes of
Borrower payable to the Banks and reimbursement agreements delivered to
Huntington. The maximum amount of unpaid loan indebtedness, which shall consist
of unpaid balances of loan advances made both before and after the Mortgage is
delivered to the Recorder for record and unreimbursed payments under letters of
credit issued both before and after the Mortgage is delivered to the Recorder
for record, exclusive of interest thereon and of advances for taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums and costs incurred for protection of the
Mortgaged Property, which may be outstanding at any time is One Hundred Ninety
Million Dollars ($190,000,000.00).

         THE MORTGAGE IS GIVEN TO SECURE: the full and prompt payment, whether
at stated maturity, accelerated maturity or otherwise, of any and all
indebtedness, whether fixed or contingent (collectively the "Indebtedness") and
the complete, faithful and punctual performance of any and all other obligations
(collectively the "Obligations") of Borrower under the terms and conditions of
(a) the Loan Agreement; (b) the Notes from time to time made by Borrower
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, not to exceed in the aggregate the principal
amount of One Hundred Ninety Million Dollars ($190,000,000.00), payable not
later than July 31, 1998, unless extended, and any and all renewals, amendments,
modifications, reductions and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor
(collectively the "Notes"); (c) the reimbursement agreements delivered to
Huntington from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (d) the Mortgage;
and (e) any other instrument, document, certificate or affidavit heretofore, now
or hereafter given by Borrower evidencing or securing all or any part of the
foregoing (the same together with the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the
Mortgage, collectively the "Loan Documents").

         Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants
with Huntington, its successors and assigns, that:

         1. TITLE. Borrower represents that it has good and marketable title in
fee simple to the Mortgaged Property, except for rights of tenants in possession
under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other matters and
encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's policy of
title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the lien of
the Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions"). If the interest of Huntington in the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or shall be attacked,
directly or indirectly, Borrower hereby authorizes Huntington, at Borrower's
expense, to take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such
interest, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of
litigation and the compromise or discharge of claims made against such interest.
Any sums so expended by Huntington shall be charged against Borrower and
collectible in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof.

         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Mortgaged Property.

                                        2


<PAGE>   4



         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Borrower shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease
(except for leases in the ordinary course of Borrower's business) or otherwise
convey or further encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or
legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise transfer any beneficial interests in Borrower which individually or in
the aggregate would have the effect of transferring the power to direct the
operations of Borrower or the Mortgaged Property; (c) contract for any of the
same; (d) permit the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or legal,
equitable or beneficial interest therein, to be subject to any superior or
inferior lien or encumbrance; (e) subdivide, resubdivide or submit to the
condominium form of ownership all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion thereof; or (f) initiate or acquiesce in any change in the zoning
classification of the Property or any portion thereof.

         5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower shall promptly pay the
Indebtedness as the same becomes due and payable.

         6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall furnish to Huntington within
ten (10) days of any written request of Huntington, a written statement, duly
acknowledged by Borrower, setting forth the sums secured by the Mortgage and any
right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Borrower alleges to exist
against such sums and obligations secured by the Mortgage.

         7. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Borrower shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Mortgage or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Borrower, at Borrower's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Borrower may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Borrower shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to
be sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Borrower shall maintain adequate book
reserves with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Borrower, then the Mortgaged Property shall be withdrawn from
the Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan Agreement). In the
event the withdrawal of the Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool causes
Borrower not to be in compliance with the required loan to value ratio under the
Loan Agreement, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as provided in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         8. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:

                  (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and
the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks covered by insurance
of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of physical loss", in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to prevent Borrower and
Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                                        3


<PAGE>   5



                  (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability insurance,
insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for all employees
of Borrower engaged on or with respect to the Property and the Improvements in
the limits established by law or, if limits are not so established, in such
amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                  (d) During the course of any development or construction of
the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance against "all risks of
physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage, in the amounts set
forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Mortgaged Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with
terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (f) If the Improvements are located in a federally-designated
flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the maximum amount available
and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington; and

                  (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount, as may
from time to time be reasonably required by Huntington against the same or other
hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Mortgage shall contain an
endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any
act or negligence of Borrower, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
deductions against Borrower are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be
canceled or changed except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice delivered to Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.

         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Borrower shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Borrower shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest
therein or the occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall indemnify,
defend and hold Huntington harmless from all liability by reason of said
litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
Huntington in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is
prosecuted to judgment. Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover
against Huntington, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for
loss of or damage to Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, other property of
Borrower or the property of others under control of Borrower from any cause
insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of the
Mortgage.

                                        4


<PAGE>   6



         Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Borrower shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall prevent Borrower from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 8 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Mortgage; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall
specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Improvements
and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount otherwise
required to be carried under the Mortgage; (ii) shall not contain any clause
which would result in the insured thereunder becoming a co-insurer of any loss
with the insurer under such policy; and (iii) shall in all other respects comply
with the provisions of the Mortgage.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Borrower, and used
by Borrower to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Borrower should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the
fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is indicated, Huntington shall be
entitled, at its option, to cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Borrower with
the loan to value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results
of such reappraisal causes Borrower not to be in compliance with the required
loan to value ratio, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as
provided for in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in
an amount which will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on the Mortgaged Property as existed immediately prior to the
loss and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington.
In the event Huntington believes it is necessary in order to establish value,
Huntington may, at its option, cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Huntington.

         Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         9. ESCROW. Borrower, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Mortgage, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Borrower shall fail to timely
pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the event
of any other default and Huntington does not then elect to exercise its other
remedies, then Borrower shall, upon request of Huntington, pay to Huntington on
the first day of each month, until the Indebtedness is fully paid, a sum equal
to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or estimated yearly taxes, assessments,
premiums for such insurance as may be

                                        5


<PAGE>   7



required by the terms hereof. Huntington shall hold such monthly payments which
may be mingled with its general funds, without obligation to pay interest
thereon, unless otherwise required by applicable law, to pay such taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums when due. Borrower agrees that sufficient
funds shall be so accumulated for the payment of said charges one (1) month
prior to the due date thereof and that Borrower shall furnish Huntington with
proper statements covering the same fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates
thereof. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or if Huntington should
take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the amount so accumulated shall be credited
on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If the total of the monthly
payments as made under this Section 9 shall exceed the payments actually made by
Huntington, such excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments of the
same nature, but if the total of such monthly payments so made under this
Section 9 shall be insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums then due, then said Borrower shall pay upon demand the amount necessary
to make up the deficiency, which payments shall be secured by the Mortgage. To
the extent that all the provisions of this Section 9 for such payments of taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums to Huntington, are complied with, Borrower
shall be relieved of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8
herein as to the amounts paid only, but nothing contained in this Section 9
shall be construed as in any way limiting the rights of Huntington at its option
to pay any and all of said items when due.

         10. WASTE; REPAIR. Borrower shall neither commit nor permit any waste
on the Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on the
Property in good condition and repair.

         11. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Borrower shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at Borrower's expense.

         12. ADVANCES SECURED BY MORTGAGE. Upon failure of Borrower to comply
with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property
or Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable by
Borrower, shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and be secured by the
Mortgage and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         13. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Borrower shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Mortgage was executed. Borrower shall
comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body applicable to the Mortgaged Property, both during the
construction of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to the
completion thereof, and Borrower shall not permit the use thereof for any
illegal purpose.

         14. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property after reasonable notice
to Borrower and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Mortgaged Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Borrower shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         15. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property. The term "minerals" as
used herein shall include, without limitation, oil, gas, casinghead gas, coal,
lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, helium, uranium and all other
natural elements, compounds and substances, including sand and gravel.

                                        6


<PAGE>   8



         16. CONDEMNATION. If all the Mortgaged Property and Improvements are
taken or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Borrower, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

         In the event a portion of the Property Improvements are acquired in any
condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to
the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount of
$500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain award shall be
paid to Borrower, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in paragraph 8
hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where the damage
or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or less. The provisions of
paragraph 8 with respect to reappraisal and substitute property where there is
damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or less shall apply as if
fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award shall be
deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
8 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or greater. The conditions
to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be satisfied that the
repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size, quality and value to
those which existed previously, and the right to cause the Mortgaged Property to
be reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or destruction of
$500,000.00 or greater, shall be applicable as if fully rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         17. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES.

                  (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns
all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property
(the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any
guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents,
royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or
which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals
thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Borrower under the
Leases for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same
were supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following
default under the Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance
covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any
part of the Mortgaged Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues,
profits and other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called
"Rents"), together with any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have
against any tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents
so assigned. Prior to an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Borrower
shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit
of Huntington and Borrower.

                  (b) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:


                                        7


<PAGE>   9



                        (i) Borrower has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Borrower has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

                        (ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations
and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                        (iii) Borrower shall generally operate and maintain the
Mortgaged Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                        (iv) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.

                        (v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under any of
the Leases; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Borrower immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Huntington or make
Huntington responsible or liable for any negligence in the management,
operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or
injury or death to any party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                        (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid directly
to Huntington, and Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases (or any
other parties in possession of the Mortgaged Property) to pay all of the Rents
directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for which
this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                        (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to manage, operate, lease and
develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Mortgaged Property as Huntington,
in its sole discretion, may deem proper; and

                        (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
into and upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof, and to appoint
an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings to have
a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 17(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Mortgaged
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Mortgaged
Property, or any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the
payment of interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to
meet the

                                        8


<PAGE>   10



costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and
collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes shall
become indebtedness of Borrower to Huntington secured by the Mortgage. Unless
Huntington and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts
shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Borrower and shall bear interest
from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in the
Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to foreclose the Mortgage
or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon. Huntington shall have
such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the value of the Mortgaged
Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the solvency or
insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or the other
sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Borrower, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases.

                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         18. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Mortgage is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of
Ohio (the "UCC") for any of the Mortgaged Property comprising personal property
and fixtures which may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the UCC,
and Borrower hereby grants to Huntington a security interest in said personal
property and fixtures, whether said property is now existing or hereafter
acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts, additions, repairs and
accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and, if sold or otherwise
disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof. Borrower
agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing statements covering
said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in such form as
Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of Huntington's
security interest with respect to said personal property and fixtures. Borrower
shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof and additions
thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth in Section 19
hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and,
at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided in Section 19
hereof with respect to such property.

         19. DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by this reference
herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default beyond any applicable
cure period, at the option of Huntington, without notice or demand, the same
being hereby expressly waived, the entire amount shall become immediately due
and payable, and, in addition to any other right or remedy which Huntington may
now or hereafter have at law, in equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington
shall have the right and power: (a) to foreclose upon the Mortgage and the lien
hereof; (b) to sell the Mortgaged Property according to law; and (c) to enter
upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and/or have a receiver
appointed therefor as set forth in Section 17 hereof.

         20. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns, any junior lienholder or any of the
Guarantors, without liability on Huntington's part and notwithstanding
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in the Mortgage,
extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the
payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said Indebtedness, accept a
renewal

                                        9


<PAGE>   11



note or notes therefor, release from the lien of the Mortgage any part of the
Mortgaged Property, take or release other or additional security, reconvey any
part of the Mortgaged Property, consent to any map or plan of the Mortgaged
Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or
subordination agreement, or agree in writing with Borrower to modify the rate of
interest or period of amortization of the Note or to change the amount of the
monthly installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Huntington
pursuant to the terms of this Section 20 shall not affect the obligation of
Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by the
Mortgage and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not
affect the guaranty of any of the Guarantors, and shall not affect the lien or
priority of lien of the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall pay
Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance
premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's option for any
such action if taken at Borrower's request.

         21. PARCELS; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. In the event of foreclosure of the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels or as an
entirety as Huntington may elect.

         Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the
Mortgaged Property held by Huntington or by any other party, Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who becomes liable for Borrower's
obligations and covenants under the Mortgage, and any party who now or hereafter
acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof,
hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in
connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided herein.

         22. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Huntington
all costs of foreclosing the Mortgage, and all costs of enforcing, collecting
and securing, and of attempting to enforce, collect and secure, the Notes,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees,
court costs, notice charges and title insurance charges, whether such attempt be
made by suit, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due
Huntington under the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree
rendered.

         23. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         24. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with
Huntington that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (i) "Environmental Laws" mean all federal, state and
local laws, statutes, ordinances and codes relating to the use, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance and the rules, regulations, policies,
guidelines, interpretations, decisions, orders and directives with respect
thereto.

                        (ii) "Hazardous Substance" means, without limitation,
any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, urea formaldehyde
foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum and petroleum based
products, methane, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic
substances or related materials, as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections
9601, ET SEQ.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49
U.S.C. Sections 1801, ET SEQ.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, ET SEQ.), the Toxic Substances Control Act, as
amended (15 U.S.C. Sections 2601, et SEQ.), or any other applicable
Environmental Law.

                        (iii) "Indemnitee" means Huntington, the Banks, their
participants in the loan evidenced by the Notes and all subsequent holders of
the Mortgage, their respective successors and assigns, their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors and

                                       10


<PAGE>   12



subcontractors and any subsequent owner of the Property and Improvements who
acquires title thereto from or through Huntington.

                        (iv) "Release" has the same meaning as given to that
term in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, ET SEQ.) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         (b) Borrower represents and warrants to Huntington that, to its
knowledge after due investigation: (i) the Property and Improvements are not
being or have not been used for the storage, treatment, generation,
transportation, processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance in violation of any Environmental Laws; (ii) the Property and
Improvements do not contain any Hazardous Substances in violation of any
Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no Release of any Hazardous Substance
on, at or from the Property and Improvements or any property adjacent to or
within the immediate vicinity of the Property and Improvements and Borrower has
not received any form of notice or inquiry with regard to such a Release or
threat of such a Release; (iv) no event has occurred with respect to the
Property and Improvements which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a violation of any applicable Environmental
Law; (v) there are no agreements or orders or directives of any federal, state
or local governmental agency or authority relating to the Property and
Improvements which require any work, repair, construction, containment, clean
up, investigations, studies, removal or other remedial action with respect to
the Property and Improvements; and (vi) there are no actions, suits, claims or
proceedings, pending or threatened, which seek any remedy, that arise out of the
condition, ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or conveyance of the
Property and Improvements and (1) a violation or alleged violation of any
applicable Environmental Law, (2) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a
Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release, or (3) human
exposure to any Hazardous Substance.

         (c)      Borrower covenants and agrees with Huntington as follows:

                        (i) Borrower shall keep, and shall cause all operators,
tenants, subtenants, licensees and occupants of the Property and Improvements to
keep, the Property and Improvements free of all Hazardous Substances, except for
Hazardous Substances stored, treated, generated, transported, processed,
handled, produced or disposed of in the normal operation of the Property and
Improvements as a shopping center in accordance with all Environmental Laws.

                        (ii) Borrower shall comply with, and shall cause all
operators, tenants, subtenants, licensee and occupants of the Property and
Improvements to comply with, all Environmental Laws.

                        (iii) Borrower shall promptly provide Huntington with a
copy of all notifications which it gives or receives with respect to any past or
present Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release on,
at or from the Property and Improvements or any property adjacent to or within
the immediate vicinity of the Property and Improvements.

                        (iv) Borrower shall undertake and complete all
investigations, studies, sampling and testing for Hazardous Substances
reasonably required by Huntington and, in accordance with all Environmental
Laws, all removal and other remedial actions necessary to contain, remove and
clean up all Hazardous Substances that are determined to be present at the
Property and Improvements in violation of any Environmental Laws.

                        (v) Huntington shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any violation by Borrower of the Environmental Laws and
Huntington's cost and expense to so cure shall be secured by the Mortgage.

         (d) Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to
indemnify, defend and save harmless Indemnitee from and against any and all
damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation,
demands, defenses, judgments, suits, actions, proceedings, costs, disbursements
and/or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any
time be imposed upon, incurred

                                       11


<PAGE>   13



by or asserted or awarded against Indemnitee arising out of the condition,
ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property and
Improvements and (i) the storage, treatment generation, transportation,
processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Substance, (ii)
the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a Release of any Hazardous Substance
or the threat of such a Release, (iii) human exposure to any Hazardous
Substance, (iv) a violation of any Environmental Law, or (v) a material
misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or material
breach of or failure to perform any covenant made by Borrower herein
(collectively, the "Indemnified Matters").

         The liability of Borrower to Indemnitee hereunder shall in no way be
limited, abridged, impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the repayment of all
sums and the satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower under the Notes, the
Mortgage or other Loan Documents, (ii) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the
acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, (iii) any amendment or modification of the
Loan Documents by or for the benefit of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the
Property and Improvements, (iv) any extensions of time for payment or
performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release or discharge
of the Mortgage or of Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any other person from
the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or
conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents whether by Huntington, by
operation of law or otherwise, (vi) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of
the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, (vii) any exculpatory provision
contained in any of the Loan Documents limiting Huntington recourse to property
encumbered by the Mortgage or to any other security or limiting Huntington
rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (viii) any applicable statute
of limitations, (ix) the sale or assignment of the Notes or the Mortgage, (x)
the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or part of the Property and
Improvements, (xi) the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, (xii) the death
or legal incapacity of Borrower, (xiii) the release or discharge, in whole or in
part, of Borrower in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding, or (xiv) any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or
discharge, in whole or in part, of Borrower under the Notes or the Mortgage.

         The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities Borrower may have to Huntington at common law.

         25. SUBORDINATE MORTGAGES. Borrower shall not, without the prior
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, grant or permit to be created any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, covering any of the
Mortgaged Property (each a "Subordinate Mortgage"). If Huntington consents to a
Subordinate Mortgage or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall
contain express covenants to the effect that:

                  (a) the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated therein by reference is and always shall be unconditionally
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to all advances made pursuant to,
and sums secured by, the Mortgage, and the Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated herein by reference may be renewed, extended, restructured,
modified, increased or reinstated at any time without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Mortgage holder;

                  (b) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases shall
be named as a party defendant and no action shall be taken which would terminate
any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Huntington;

                  (c) in the event of any conflict between the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage shall prevail;

                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Indebtedness
and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation

                                       12


<PAGE>   14



and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property in such order as Huntington may
determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate
Mortgage;

                  (e) a copy of any notice of default under the Subordinate
Mortgage and written notice and opportunity to cure of not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce
the Subordinate Mortgage shall be given to Huntington; and

                  (f) the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage shall acknowledge
the existence of the Indebtedness secured hereby and further acknowledge that
the lien of the Mortgage shall at all times be and remain superior and prior to
the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage to the extent of the entire Indebtedness
secured hereby, notwithstanding any change in the variable rate of interest
being charged under the Notes.

         26. PRIORITY OF MORTGAGE LIEN. Huntington, at Huntington's option, is
authorized and empowered to do all things provided to be done by a mortgagee
under Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code, and any present or future
amendments or supplements thereto, for the protection of Huntington's interest
in the Mortgaged Property.

         27. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing. If mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, then such shall
be effective upon its deposit in the mails. Notice given in any other manner
shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of
notice, the addresses of Borrower and Huntington shall be as set forth below;
provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's
address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United
States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

         28. MISCELLANEOUS. The covenants herein contained shall bind, and the
benefits and advantages shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of
the parties hereto. Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural,
the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders. If
any provision of the Mortgage is illegal, or hereafter rendered illegal, or is
for any other reason void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable, or hereafter
rendered void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of the
Mortgage shall not be affected thereby, but shall be construed as if it does not
contain such provision. Each right and remedy provided in the Mortgage is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under the Mortgage or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or
successively, in any order whatsoever. The Mortgage shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of the State of Ohio.

         HUNTINGTON, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS MORTGAGE, AND BORROWER HEREBY
MUTUALLY, VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE OTHER ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH,
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
THERETO OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREBY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT TO HUNTINGTON AND BORROWER TO ENTER INTO THIS TRANSACTION. IT SHALL
NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY HUNTINGTON'S ABILITY TO
PURSUE ITS REMEDIES.

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that these presents are upon the condition that if
Borrower shall fully and promptly pay when due the Indebtedness and shall
completely, faithfully and punctually perform all of the Obligations under the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, then the Mortgage shall be void;
otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect in law and equity forever.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused the Mortgage to be executed
this 15th day of May, 1997.

<PAGE>   3



Borrower hereby binds itself and its successors and assigns to warrant and
forever defend the Mortgaged Property unto Huntington and its successors and
assigns, against the claim or claims of all persons claiming or to claim the
same or any part thereof, except rights of tenants in possession under leases,
and easements, agreements and restrictions of record and current real estate
taxes and assessments.

         This Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (the
"Mortgage") is given for the purpose of securing (i) loan advances which the
Banks are obligated to make to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Loan Agreement, which advances may be advanced, repaid and readvanced and
(ii) any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower provided for in the Loan
Agreement.

         THE MORTGAGE IS GIVEN TO SECURE: the full and prompt payment, whether
at stated maturity, accelerated maturity or otherwise, of any and all
indebtedness, whether fixed or contingent (collectively the "Indebtedness") and
the complete, faithful and punctual performance of any and all other obligations
(collectively the "Obligations") of Borrower under the terms and conditions of
(a) the Loan Agreement; (b) the Notes from time to time made by Borrower
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, not to exceed in the aggregate the principal
amount of One Hundred Ninety Million Dollars ($190,000,000.00), payable not
later than July 31, 1998, unless extended, and any and all renewals, amendments,
modifications, reductions and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor
(collectively the "Notes"); (c) the reimbursement agreements delivered to
Huntington from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement in connection with
letters of credit issued thereunder; (d) the Mortgage; and (e) any other
instrument, document, certificate or affidavit heretofore, now or hereafter
given by Borrower evidencing or securing all or any part of the foregoing (the
same together with the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the Mortgage, collectively
the "Loan Documents").

         Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants
with Huntington, its successors and assigns, that:

         1. TITLE. Borrower represents that it has good and marketable title in
fee simple to the Mortgaged Property, except for rights of tenants in possession
under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other matters and
encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's policy of
title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the lien of
the Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions"). If the interest of Huntington in the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or shall be attacked,
directly or indirectly, Borrower hereby authorizes Huntington, at Borrower's
expense, to take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such
interest, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of
litigation and the compromise or discharge of claims made against such interest.
Any sums so expended by Huntington shall be charged against Borrower and
collectible in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof.

         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Mortgaged Property.

         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Borrower shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease
(except for leases in the ordinary course of Borrower's business) or otherwise
convey or further encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or
legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise transfer any

                                        2

<PAGE>   4



beneficial interests in Borrower which individually or in the aggregate would
have the effect of transferring the power to direct the operations of Borrower
or the Mortgaged Property; (c) contract for any of the same; (d) permit the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or legal, equitable or beneficial
interest therein, to be subject to any superior or inferior lien or encumbrance;
(e) subdivide, resubdivide or submit to the condominium form of ownership all or
any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof; or (f) initiate
or acquiesce in any change in the zoning classification of the Property or any
portion thereof.

         5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower shall promptly pay the
Indebtedness as the same becomes due and payable.

         6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall furnish to Huntington within
ten (10) days of any written request of Huntington, a written statement, duly
acknowledged by Borrower, setting forth the sums secured by the Mortgage and any
right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Borrower alleges to exist
against such sums and obligations secured by the Mortgage.

         7. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Borrower shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Mortgage or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Borrower, at Borrower's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Borrower may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Borrower shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to
be sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Borrower shall maintain adequate book
reserves with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Borrower, then the Mortgaged Property shall be withdrawn from
the Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan Agreement). In the
event the withdrawal of the Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool causes
Borrower not to be in compliance with the required loan to value ratio under the
Loan Agreement, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as provided in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         8. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:

                  (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and
the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks covered by insurance
of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of physical loss", in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to prevent Borrower and
Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability insurance,
insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for all employees
of Borrower engaged on or with respect

                                        3

<PAGE>   5



to the Property and the Improvements in the limits established by law or, if
limits are not so established, in such amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                  (d) During the course of any development or construction of
the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance against "all risks of
physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage, in the amounts set
forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Mortgaged Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with
terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (f) If the Improvements are located in a federally-designated
flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the maximum amount available
and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington; and

                  (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount, as may
from time to time be reasonably required by Huntington against the same or other
hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Mortgage shall contain an
endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any
act or negligence of Borrower, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
deductions against Borrower are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be
canceled or changed except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice delivered to Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.

         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Borrower shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Borrower shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest
therein or the occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall indemnify,
defend and hold Huntington harmless from all liability by reason of said
litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
Huntington in any such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is
prosecuted to judgment. Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover
against Huntington, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for
loss of or damage to Borrower, the Mortgaged Property, other property of
Borrower or the property of others under control of Borrower from any cause
insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of the
Mortgage.

         Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Borrower shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.


                                        4

<PAGE>   6



         Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall prevent Borrower from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 8 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Mortgage; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall
specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Improvements
and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount otherwise
required to be carried under the Mortgage; (ii) shall not contain any clause
which would result in the insured thereunder becoming a co-insurer of any loss
with the insurer under such policy; and (iii) shall in all other respects comply
with the provisions of the Mortgage.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Borrower, and used
by Borrower to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Borrower should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the
fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is indicated, Huntington shall be
entitled, at its option, to cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Borrower with
the loan to value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results
of such reappraisal causes Borrower not to be in compliance with the required
loan to value ratio, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as
provided for in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in
an amount which will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on the Mortgaged Property as existed immediately prior to the
loss and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington.
In the event Huntington believes it is necessary in order to establish value,
Huntington may, at its option, cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Huntington.

         Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         9. ESCROW. Borrower, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Mortgage, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Borrower shall fail to timely
pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the event
of any other default and Huntington does not then elect to exercise its other
remedies, then Borrower shall, upon request of Huntington, pay to Huntington on
the first day of each month, until the Indebtedness is fully paid, a sum equal
to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or estimated yearly taxes, assessments,
premiums for such insurance as may be required by the terms hereof. Huntington
shall hold such monthly payments which may be mingled with its general funds,
without obligation to pay interest thereon, unless otherwise required by
applicable law, to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums when due.
Borrower agrees that sufficient funds shall be so accumulated for the payment of
said charges one (1) month prior to the due date thereof and that Borrower shall
furnish Huntington with proper statements covering the same fifteen (15) days
prior to the due dates thereof. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or
if Huntington should take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the amount so
accumulated shall be credited on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If
the total of the monthly payments as made

                                        5

<PAGE>   7



under this Section 9 shall exceed the payments actually made by Huntington, such
excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments of the same nature, but
if the total of such monthly payments so made under this Section 9 shall be
insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums then due,
then said Borrower shall pay upon demand the amount necessary to make up the
deficiency, which payments shall be secured by the Mortgage. To the extent that
all the provisions of this Section 9 for such payments of taxes, assessments,
and insurance premiums to Huntington, are complied with, Borrower shall be
relieved of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 herein
as to the amounts paid only, but nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be
construed as in any way limiting the rights of Huntington at its option to pay
any and all of said items when due.

         10. WASTE; REPAIR. Borrower shall neither commit nor permit any waste
on the Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on the
Property in good condition and repair.

         11. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Borrower shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at Borrower's expense.

         12. ADVANCES SECURED BY MORTGAGE. Upon failure of Borrower to comply
with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property
or Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable by
Borrower, shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and be secured by the
Mortgage and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         13. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Borrower shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Mortgage was executed. Borrower shall
comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body applicable to the Mortgaged Property, both during the
construction of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to the
completion thereof, and Borrower shall not permit the use thereof for any
illegal purpose.

         14. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property after reasonable notice
to Borrower and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Mortgaged Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Borrower shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         15. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property. The term "minerals" as
used herein shall include, without limitation, oil, gas, casinghead gas, coal,
lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, helium, uranium and all other
natural elements, compounds and substances, including sand and gravel.

         16. CONDEMNATION. If all the Mortgaged Property and Improvements are
taken or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Borrower, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

                                        6

<PAGE>   8



         In the event a portion of the Property Improvements are acquired in any
condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to
the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount of
$500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain award shall be
paid to Borrower, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in paragraph 8
hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where the damage
or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or less. The provisions of
paragraph 8 with respect to reappraisal and substitute property where there is
damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or less shall apply as if
fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award shall be
deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
8 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or greater. The conditions
to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be satisfied that the
repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size, quality and value to
those which existed previously, and the right to cause the Mortgaged Property to
be reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or destruction of
$500,000.00 or greater, shall be applicable as if fully rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         17. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES.

                  (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns
all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property
(the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any
guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents,
royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or
which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals
thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Borrower under the
Leases for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same
were supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following
default under the Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance
covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any
part of the Mortgaged Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues,
profits and other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called
"Rents"), together with any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have
against any tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents
so assigned. Prior to an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Borrower
shall have a license to collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit
of Huntington and Borrower.

                  (b) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

                        (i) Borrower has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Borrower has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

                        (ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases

                                        7

<PAGE>   9



and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding arising
under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations and
undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                        (iii) Borrower shall generally operate and maintain the
Mortgaged Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                        (iv) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.

                        (v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under any of
the Leases; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Borrower immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Huntington or make
Huntington responsible or liable for any negligence in the management,
operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or
injury or death to any party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                        (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid directly
to Huntington, and Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases (or any
other parties in possession of the Mortgaged Property) to pay all of the Rents
directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for which
this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                        (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to manage, operate, lease and
develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Mortgaged Property as Huntington,
in its sole discretion, may deem proper; and

                        (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
into and upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof, and to appoint
an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings to have
a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 17(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Mortgaged
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Mortgaged
Property, or any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the
payment of interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to
meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property
and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes
shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Huntington secured by the Mortgage.
Unless Huntington and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Borrower and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in
the Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to foreclose the Mortgage
or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon. Huntington shall have
such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the value

                                        8

<PAGE>   10



of the Mortgaged Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the
solvency or insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or
the other sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Borrower, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases.

                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         18. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Mortgage is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of
Indiana (the "UCC") for any of the Mortgaged Property comprising personal
property and fixtures which may be subject to a security interest pursuant to
the UCC, and Borrower hereby grants to Huntington a security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, whether said property is now existing or
hereafter acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts, additions,
repairs and accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and, if sold or
otherwise disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof.
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing statements
covering said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in such form
as Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of Huntington's
security interest with respect to said personal property and fixtures. Borrower
shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof and additions
thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth in Section 19
hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and,
at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided in Section 19
hereof with respect to such property.

         19. DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by this reference
herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default beyond any applicable
cure period, at the option of Huntington, without notice or demand, the same
being hereby expressly waived, the entire amount shall become immediately due
and payable, and, in addition to any other right or remedy which Huntington may
now or hereafter have at law, in equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington
shall have the right and power: (a) to foreclose upon the Mortgage and the lien
hereof; (b) to sell the Mortgaged Property according to law; and (c) to enter
upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and/or have a receiver
appointed therefor as set forth in Section 17 hereof.

         20. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns, any junior lienholder or any of the
Guarantors, without liability on Huntington's part and notwithstanding
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in the Mortgage,
extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the
payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said Indebtedness, accept a
renewal note or notes therefor, release from the lien of the Mortgage any part
of the Mortgaged Property, take or release other or additional security,
reconvey any part of the Mortgaged Property, consent to any map or plan of the
Mortgaged Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any
extension or subordination agreement, or agree in writing with Borrower to
modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or to change
the amount of the monthly installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by
Huntington pursuant to the terms of this Section 20 shall not affect the
obligation of Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums
secured by the Mortgage and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained
herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any of the Guarantors, and shall not
affect the lien or priority of lien of the Mortgage on

                                        9

<PAGE>   11



the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall pay Huntington a reasonable service
charge, together with such title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may
be incurred at Huntington's option for any such action if taken at Borrower's
request.

         21. PARCELS; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. In the event of foreclosure of the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels or as an
entirety as Huntington may elect.

         Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the
Mortgaged Property held by Huntington or by any other party, Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who becomes liable for Borrower's
obligations and covenants under the Mortgage, and any party who now or hereafter
acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof,
hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in
connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided herein.

         22. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Huntington
all costs of foreclosing the Mortgage, and all costs of enforcing, collecting
and securing, and of attempting to enforce, collect and secure, the Notes,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees,
court costs, notice charges and title insurance charges, whether such attempt be
made by suit, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due
Huntington under the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree
rendered.

         23. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         24. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with
Huntington that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (i) "Environmental Laws" mean all federal, state and
local laws, statutes, ordinances and codes relating to the use, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance and the rules, regulations, policies,
guidelines, interpretations, decisions, orders and directives with respect
thereto.

                        (ii) "Hazardous Substance" means, without limitation,
any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, urea formaldehyde
foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum and petroleum based
products, methane, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic
substances or related materials, as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections
9601, ET SEQ.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49
U.S.C. Sections 1801, ET SEQ.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 6901, ET SEQ.), the Toxic Substances Control Act, as
amended (15 U.S.C. Sections 2601, ET SEQ.), or any other applicable
Environmental Law.

                        (iii) "Indemnitee" means Huntington, the Banks, their
participants in the loan evidenced by the Notes and all subsequent holders of
the Mortgage, their respective successors and assigns, their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors and
subcontractors and any subsequent owner of the Property and Improvements who
acquires title thereto from or through Huntington.

                        (iv) "Release" has the same meaning as given to that
term in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, ET SEQ.) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         (b) Borrower represents and warrants to Huntington that, to its
knowledge after due investigation: (i) the Property and Improvements are not
being or have not been used for the storage, treatment, generation,
transportation, processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous

                                       10

<PAGE>   12



Substance in violation of any Environmental Laws; (ii) the Property and
Improvements do not contain any Hazardous Substances in violation of any
Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no Release of any Hazardous Substance
on, at or from the Property and Improvements or any property adjacent to or
within the immediate vicinity of the Property and Improvements and Borrower has
not received any form of notice or inquiry with regard to such a Release or
threat of such a Release; (iv) no event has occurred with respect to the
Property and Improvements which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a violation of any applicable Environmental
Law; (v) there are no agreements or orders or directives of any federal, state

Improvements which require any work, repair, construction, containment, clean
up, investigations, studies, removal or other remedial action with respect to

Property and Improvements and (1) a violation or alleged violation of any
applicable Environmental Law, (2) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a
Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release, or (3) human
exposure to any Hazardous Substance.

         (c) Borrower covenants and agrees with Huntington as follows:

                        (i) Borrower shall keep, and shall cause all operators,
tenants, subtenants, licensees and occupants of the Property and Improvements to
keep, the Property and Improvements free of all Hazardous Substances, except for
Hazardous Substances stored, treated, generated, transported, processed,
handled, produced or disposed of in the normal operation of the Property and
Improvements as a shopping center in accordance with all Environmental Laws.

                        (ii) Borrower shall comply with, and shall cause all
operators, tenants, subtenants, licensee and occupants of the Property and
Improvements to comply with, all Environmental Laws.

                        (iii) Borrower shall promptly provide Huntington with a
copy of all notifications which it gives or receives with respect to any past or
present Release of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release on,

                        (iv) Borrower shall undertake and complete all
investigations, studies, sampling and testing for Hazardous Substances
reasonably required by Huntington and, in accordance with all Environmental
Laws, all removal and other remedial actions necessary to contain, remove and
clean up all Hazardous Substances that are determined to be present at the
Property and Improvements in violation of any Environmental Laws.

                        (v) Huntington shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any violation by Borrower of the Environmental Laws and
Huntington's cost and expense to so cure shall be secured by the Mortgage.

         (d) Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to
indemnify, defend and save harmless Indemnitee from and against any and all
damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation,
demands, defenses, judgments, suits, actions, proceedings, costs, disbursements
and/or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any
time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Indemnitee
arising out of the condition, ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or
conveyance of the Property and Improvements and (i) the storage, treatment
generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or disposal of any
Hazardous Substance, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a Release
of any Hazardous Substance or the threat of such a Release, (iii) human exposure

         The liability of Borrower to Indemnitee hereunder shall in no way be

acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, (iii) any amendment or modification of the
Loan Documents by or for the benefit of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the
Property and Improvements, (iv) any extensions of time for payment or
performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release or discharge
of the Mortgage or of Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any other person from
the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or
conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents whether by Huntington, by
operation of law or otherwise, (vi) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of
the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, (vii) any exculpatory provision
contained in any of the Loan Documents limiting Huntington recourse to property
encumbered by the Mortgage or to any other security or limiting Huntington
rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (viii) any applicable statute

the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or part of the Property and

or legal incapacity of Borrower, (xiii) the release or discharge, in whole or in
part, of Borrower in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,

discharge, in whole or in part, of Borrower under the Notes or the Mortgage.

         The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities Borrower may have to Huntington at common law.

         25. SUBORDINATE MORTGAGES. Borrower shall not, without the prior
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, grant or permit to be created any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, covering any of the
Mortgaged Property (each a "Subordinate Mortgage"). If Huntington consents to a
Subordinate Mortgage or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall
contain express covenants to the effect that:

                  (a) the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated therein by reference is and always shall be unconditionally
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to all advances made pursuant to,
and sums secured by, the Mortgage, and the Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated herein by reference may be renewed, extended, restructured,
modified, increased or reinstated at any time without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Mortgage holder;

                  (b) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases shall
be named as a party defendant and no action shall be taken which would terminate
any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Huntington;

                  (c) in the event of any conflict between the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage shall prevail;

                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Indebtedness
and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the
Mortgaged Property in such order as Huntington may determine, prior to being
applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage;

                  (e) a copy of any notice of default under the Subordinate
Mortgage and written notice and opportunity to cure of not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce
the Subordinate Mortgage shall be given to Huntington; and

                  (f) the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage shall acknowledge
the existence of the Indebtedness secured hereby and further acknowledge that
the lien of the Mortgage shall at all

                                       12

<PAGE>   14



times be and remain superior and prior to the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage
to the extent of the entire Indebtedness secured hereby, notwithstanding any
change in the variable rate of interest being charged under the Notes.

         26. FUTURE ADVANCES. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Instrument, the Loan Agreement or the Notes to the contrary, this Instrument
shall secure: (i) 200% of the face amount of the Notes, exclusive of any items
described in (ii) below, including any additional advances made from time to
time after the date hereof pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other loan
documents whether made as part of the debt secured hereby, made at the option of
Lenders, made after a reduction to a zero (0) or other balance, or made
otherwise, (ii) all other amounts payable by Borrower, or advanced by Lenders
for the account, or on behalf, of the Borrower, pursuant to the Loan Agreement
and other loan documents, including, without limitation, reimbursement
agreements in connection with letters of credit and any amounts advanced with
respect to the Property for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums and other costs and impositions incurred for the protection of the
Property to the same extent as if the future obligations and advances were made
on the date of execution of this Instrument; and (iii) future modifications,
extensions, and renewals of any debt secured by this Instrument. Pursuant to IC
32-8-11-9, the lien of this Instrument with respect to any future advances,
modifications, extensions, and renewals referred to herein and made from time to
time shall have the same priority to which this Instrument otherwise would be
entitled as of the date this Instrument is executed and recorded without regard
to the fact that any such future advance, modification, extension, or renewal
may occur after the Instrument is executed.

         27. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing. If mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, then such shall
be effective upon its deposit in the mails. Notice given in any other manner
shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of
notice, the addresses of Borrower and Huntington shall be as set forth below;
provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's
address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United
States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

Documents").

         Trustor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants
with Huntington, its successors and assigns, that:

         1. TITLE. Trustor covenants that it is lawfully seized of the Trust
Property and has the right to mortgage, grant, convey and assign the Trust
Property and that the same is unencumbered except for rights of tenants in
possession under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other
matters and encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's
policy of title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the
lien of the Deed of Trust (the "Permitted Exceptions") and that except as
aforesaid it will warrant and defend generally the title to the Trust Property.
If the interest of Huntington or Trustee in the Trust Property or any part
thereof shall be endangered or shall be attacked, directly or indirectly,
Trustor hereby authorizes Huntington, at Trustor's expense, to take all
necessary and proper steps for the defense of such interest, including the
employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation and the
compromise or discharge of claims made against such interest. Any sums so
expended by Huntington shall be charged against Trustor and collectible in
accordance with the terms of Section 10 hereof.

         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Trust Property.

         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Trustor shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease
(except for leases of storerooms in the ordinary course of

                                        2

<PAGE>   4



business) or otherwise convey or further encumber the Trust Property, or any
portion thereof, or legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell,
assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any beneficial interests in Trustor which
individually or in the aggregate would have the effect of transferring the power
to direct the operations of Trustor or the Trust Property; (c) contract for any
of the same; (d) permit the Trust Property, or any portion thereof, or legal,
equitable or beneficial interest therein, to be subject to any superior or
inferior lien or encumbrance except as provided in the Permitted Encumbrances;
(e) subdivide, resubdivided or submit to the condominium form of ownership all
or any portion of the Trust Property, or any portion thereof; or (f) initiate or
acquiesce in any change in the zoning classification of the Property or any
portion thereof.

         5. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Trustor shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Trust
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Deed of Trust or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Trustor, at Trustor's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Trustor may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Trustor shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Trust Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to be
sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Trustor shall maintain adequate book reserves
with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Trust Property, the Deed of Trust or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Trustor, then the Trust Property shall be withdrawn from the
Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan Agreement). In the event
the withdrawal of the Trust Property from the Collateral Pool causes Trustor not
to be in compliance with the required loan to value ratio under the Loan
Agreement, Trustor may either furnish substitute property, as provided in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         6. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Trustor shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:

                  (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and
the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks covered by insurance
of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of physical loss", in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to prevent Trustor and
Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability insurance,
insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for all employees
of Trustor engaged on or with respect to the Property and the Improvements in
the limits established by law or, if limits are not so established, in such
amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                  (d) During the course of any development or construction of
the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance against "all risks of
physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage, in the amounts set
forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;


                                        3

<PAGE>   5



                  (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Trust Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (f) If the Improvements are located in a federally-designated
flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the maximum amount available
and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington; and

                  (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount, as may
from time to time be required by Huntington against the same or other hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Deed of Trust shall
contain an endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that
any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Trustor which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of said insurance, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
deductions against Trustor are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be
canceled or changed except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice delivered to Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.

         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Trustor shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Trustor shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein
or the occupancy thereof by Trustor, then Trustor shall indemnify, defend and
hold Huntington harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Huntington in any
such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment.
Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Huntington, its
officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to
Trustor, the Trust Property, other property of Trustor or the property of others
under control of Trustor from any cause insured against or required to be
insured against by the provisions of the Deed of Trust.

         Trustor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Trustor shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall prevent Trustor from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 6 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Deed of Trust; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i)
shall specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the
Improvements and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the
amount otherwise required to be carried under the Deed of Trust; (ii) shall not
contain any clause which would result in the insured thereunder

                                        4

<PAGE>   6



becoming a co-insurer of any loss with the insurer under such policy; and (iii)
shall in all other respects comply with the provisions of the Deed of Trust.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Trustor, and used
by Trustor to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Trustor should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the fair
market value of the Trust Property is indicated, Huntington shall be entitled,
at its option, to cause the Trust Property to be reappraised at Trustor's
expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Trustor with the loan to
value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results of such
reappraisal causes Trustor not to be in compliance with the required loan to
value ratio, Trustor may either furnish substitute property, as provided for in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on the Trust Property as existed immediately prior to the loss
and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington. In the
event Huntington believes it is necessary in order to establish value,
Huntington may, at its option, cause the Trust Property to be reappraised at
Trustor's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Huntington.

         Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         7. ESCROW. Trustor, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Deed of Trust, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Trustor shall fail to
timely pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the
event of any other default and Huntington does not then elect to exercise its
other remedies, then Trustor shall, upon request of Huntington, pay to
Huntington on the first day of each month, until the Indebtedness is fully paid,
a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or estimated yearly taxes,
assessments, premiums for such insurance as may be required by the terms hereof.
Huntington shall hold such monthly payments which may be mingled with its
general funds, without obligation to pay interest thereon, unless otherwise
required by applicable law, to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums when due. Trustor agrees that sufficient funds shall be so accumulated
for the payment of said charges one (1) month prior to the due date thereof and
that Trustor shall furnish Huntington with proper statements covering the same
fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates thereof. In the event the Trust
Property is sold pursuant to the power of sale contained herein, or if
Huntington should take a deed in lieu thereof, the amount so accumulated shall
be credited on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If the total of the
monthly payments as made under this Section 7 shall exceed the payments actually
made by Huntington, such excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments
of the same nature, but if the total of such monthly payments so made under this
Section 7 shall be insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums then due, then said Trustor shall pay upon demand the amount necessary
to make up the deficiency, which payments shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.
To the extent that all the provisions of this Section 7 for such payments of
taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums to Huntington, are complied with,
Trustor shall be relieved of compliance

                                        5

<PAGE>   7



with the covenants contained in Sections 5 and 6 herein as to the amounts paid
only, but nothing contained in this Section 7 shall be construed as in any way
limiting the rights of Huntington at its option to pay any and all of said items
when due.

         8. WASTE; REPAIR. Trustor shall neither commit nor permit any waste on
the Trust Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on
the Property in good condition and repair.

         9. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Trustor shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Trust Property to be reappraised at Trustor's expense.

         10. ADVANCES SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST. Upon failure of Trustor to
comply with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Trust Property or
Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Trustor, shall be immediately due and payable by
Trustor shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Trust Property and be secured by the Deed of
Trust and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         11. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Trustor shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Deed of Trust was executed. Trustor
shall comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body applicable to the Trust Property, both during the construction
of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to the completion thereof,
and Trustor shall not permit the use thereof for any illegal purpose.

         12. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Trust Property after reasonable notice to
Trustor and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Trust Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Trustor shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         13. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Trust Property. The term
"minerals" as used herein shall include, without limitation, oil, gas,
casinghead gas, coal, lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, helium,
uranium and all other natural elements, compounds and substances, including sand
and gravel.

         14. CONDEMNATION. If all the Trust Property and Improvements are taken
or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Borrower, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

         In the event a portion of the Improvements or Property are acquired in
any condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain,
to the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount
of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain
award shall be paid to Trustor, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in
paragraph 6 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where
the damage or destruction is in an amount

                                        6

<PAGE>   8



of $500,000.00 or less. The provisions of paragraph 6 with respect to
reappraisal and substitute property where there is damage or destruction in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less shall apply as if fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award shall be
deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
6 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or greater. The conditions
to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be satisfied that the
repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size, quality and value to
those which existed previously, and the right to cause the Trust Property to be
reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or destruction of $500,000.00
or greater, shall be applicable as if fully rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 14 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         15. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES.

                  (a) Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns
all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Trust Property
(the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any
guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents,
royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or
which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals
thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Trustor under the Leases
for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same were
supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following default
under the Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering
loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the
Trust Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, profits and
other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called "Rents"),
together with any and all rights and remedies which Trustor may have against any
tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the Trust Property or
any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents so assigned. Prior to
an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Trustor shall have a license to
collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit of Huntington and
Trustor.

                  (b) Trustor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

                           (i) Trustor has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Trustor has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents.

                           (ii) Trustor shall, at Trustor's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Trustor shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations
and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                           (iii) Trustor shall generally operate and maintain
the Trust Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                           (iv) Trustor shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.


                                        7

<PAGE>   9



                           (v) Trustor shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Trustor under any of the
Leases; and Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Trustor immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Trust Property upon Huntington or make Huntington
responsible or liable for any negligence in the management, operation, upkeep,
repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or injury or death to any
party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                           (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid
directly to Huntington, and, Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases
(or any other parties in possession of the Trust Property) to pay all of the
Rents directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 29 hereof, for
which this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                           (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith
enter and take possession of the Trust Property and to manage, operate, lease
and develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Trust Property as Huntington, in
its sole discretion, may deem proper; and

                           (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith
enter into and upon the Trust Property and take possession thereof, and to
appoint an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings
to have a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 15(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Trust
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Trust Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Trust Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Trust Property, or
any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the payment of
interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the
costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Trust Property and
collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes shall
become indebtedness of Trustor to Huntington secured by the Deed of Trust.
Unless Huntington and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Trustor and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in
the Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to exercise the power of
sale contained herein or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon.
Huntington shall have such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the
value of the Trust Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the
solvency or insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or
the other sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Trustor hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Trustor, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Trustor under the Leases.


                                        8

<PAGE>   10



                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         16. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Deed of Trust is
intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as
enacted in the State of West Virginia (the "UCC") for any of the Property
comprising personal property and fixtures which may be subject to a security
interest pursuant to the UCC, and Trustor hereby grants to Huntington a security
interest in said personal property and fixtures, whether said property is now
existing or hereafter acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts,
additions, repairs and accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and,
if sold or otherwise disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds)
thereof. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing
statements covering said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in
such form as Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of
Huntington's security interest with respect to said personal property and
fixtures. Trustor shall not create or suffer to be created any other security
interest in said personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof
and additions thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth
in Section 17 hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party
under the UCC and, at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided
in Section 17 hereof with respect to such property.

         17. EVENT OF DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by
this reference herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, at the option of
Huntington, without notice or demand, the same being hereby expressly waived,
the entire amount shall become immediately due and payable, and, in addition to
any other right or remedy which Huntington may now or hereafter have at law, in
equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington shall have the right and power:
to invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided for herein. Trustor acknowledges that the power of sale herein
granted may be exercised by Huntington without prior judicial hearing.
Huntington shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in
pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and costs
of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports, all of which shall be
additional sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

         18. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Trustor or its successors or assigns, any junior lienholder, without liability
on Huntington's part and notwithstanding Trustor's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Trustor in the Deed of Trust, extend the time for payment of the
Indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone
liable on any of said Indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor,
release from the lien of the Deed of Trust any part of the Trust Property, take
or release other or additional security, reconvey any part of the Trust
Property, consent to any map or plan of the Trust Property, consent to the
granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, or
agree in writing with Trustor to modify the rate of interest or period of
amortization of the Notes or to change the amount of the monthly installments
payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Huntington pursuant to the terms of
this Section 18 shall not affect the obligation of Trustor or Trustor's
successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by the Deed of Trust and to
observe the covenants of contained herein, and shall not affect the lien or
priority of lien of the Deed of Trust on the Trust Property. Trustor shall pay
Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance
premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's option for any
such action if taken at Trustor's request.

         19. PARCELS; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. In the event of a sale pursuant to
the power of sale contained herein, the Trust Property may be sold in one or
more parcels or as an entirety as Huntington may elect.

         Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the
Trust Property held by Huntington or by any other party, Huntington shall have
the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Trust Property shall
be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Huntington shall have the right to
determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are
satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided
herein. Trustor, any party who becomes liable for Trustor's obligations and
covenants under the Deed of Trust, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a
security interest in the Trust Property, or any portion thereof, hereby waives
any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the
exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

         20. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Trustor hereby agrees to pay to Huntington all
costs of enforcing, collecting and securing, and of attempting to enforce,
collect and secure, the Notes, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs, whether such attempt be made by suit, in
bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due Huntington under
the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree rendered.

         21. SALE PURSUANT TO POWER OF SALE. Prior to any sale pursuant to the
power of sale contained herein, Huntington shall provide Trustor with the notice
required by the laws of the State of West Virginia by mailing to Trustor at 20
South Third Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 in the manner provided in paragraph 30
hereof or such other manner as may be required pursuant to the laws of the State
of West Virginia, notice of such sale. Trustee may sell the Trust Property at
the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one
or more parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine at public auction to
the highest bidder for cash. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any parcel of
the Trust Property by public announcement at the time and place of any
previously scheduled sale. Huntington or Huntington's designee may purchase the
Trust Property at any sale.

         Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser a Trustee's deed conveying the
Trust Property so sold with special warranty of title. The recitals in the
Trustee's deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made
therein. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order:
(a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including, but not limited to
attorney's fees and costs of title evidence; (b) to the discharge of all taxes,
levies and assessments on the Trust Property, if any, as provided by applicable
law; (c) to all sums secured by this Instrument in such order as Huntington, in
Huntington's sole discretion, directs; and (d) the excess, if any, to the person
or persons legally entitled thereto, including, if any, holders of liens
inferior to this Instrument in order of priority, provided that Trustee has
actual notice of such liens. Trustee shall not be required to take possession of
the Trust Property prior to the sale thereof or to deliver possession of the
Trust Property to the purchaser at such sale.

         22. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Trustor shall maintain full and
correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         23. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) Trustor hereby covenants and agrees with
Huntington that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                           (i) "Environmental Laws" mean all federal, state and
local laws, statutes, ordinances and codes relating to the use, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance and the rules, regulations, policies,
guidelines, interpretations, decisions, orders and directives with respect
thereto.

                           (ii) "Hazardous Substance" means, without limitation,
any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, asbestos, urea formaldehyde
foam insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum and petroleum based

agreements of the Deed of Trust and the Subordinate Deed of Trust, the covenants
and agreements of the Deed of Trust shall prevail;

                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the payment of the

TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, TRUSTOR AGREES:

          1. TITLE. Trustor covenants that it is lawfully seized of the Trust
Property and has the right to mortgage, grant, convey and assign the Trust
Property and that the same is unencumbered except for rights of tenants in
possession under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other
matters and encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's
policy of title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the
lien of the Deed of Trust (the "Permitted Exceptions") and that except as
aforesaid it will warrant and defend generally the title to the Trust Property.
If the interest of Huntington or Trustee in the Trust Property or any part
thereof shall be endangered or shall be attacked, directly or indirectly,
Trustor hereby authorizes Huntington, at Trustor's expense, to take all
necessary and proper steps for the defense of such interest, including the
employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation and the
compromise or discharge of claims made against such interest. Any sums so
expended by Huntington shall be charged against Trustor and collectible in
accordance with the terms of Section 10 hereof.

         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Trustor, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Trust Property.

         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Trustor shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease
(except for leases of storerooms in the ordinary course of business) or
otherwise convey or further encumber the Trust Property, or any portion thereof,
or legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise transfer any beneficial interests in Trustor which individually or in
the aggregate would have the effect of transferring the power to direct the
operations of Trustor or the Trust Property; (c) contract for any of the same;
(d) permit the Trust Property, or any portion thereof, or legal, equitable or
beneficial interest therein, to be subject to any superior or inferior lien or
encumbrance except as provided in the Permitted Encumbrances; (e) subdivide,
resubdivided or submit to the condominium form of ownership all or any portion
of the Trust Property, or any portion thereof; or (f) initiate or acquiesce in
any change in the zoning classification of the Property or any portion thereof.

         5. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Trustor shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Trust
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Deed of Trust or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Trustor, at Trustor's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Trustor may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Trustor shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Trust Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to be
sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Trustor shall maintain adequate book reserves
with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Trust Property, the Deed of Trust or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Trustor, then the Trust Property shall be withdrawn from the
Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan

                                        3

<PAGE>   5



Agreement). In the event the withdrawal of the Trust Property from the
Collateral Pool causes Trustor not to be in compliance with the required loan to
value ratio under the Loan Agreement, Trustor may either furnish substitute
property, as provided in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the
Indebtedness in an amount which will bring the loan to value ratio into
compliance.

         6. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Trustor shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:

                  (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and
the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks covered by insurance
of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of physical loss", in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to prevent Trustor and
Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability insurance,
insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for all employees
of Trustor engaged on or with respect to the Property and the Improvements in
the limits established by law or, if limits are not so established, in such
amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                  (d) During the course of any development or construction of
the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance against "all risks of
physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage, in the amounts set
forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Trust Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (f) If the Improvements are located in a federally-designated
flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the maximum amount available
and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington; and

                  (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount, as may
from time to time be required by Huntington against the same or other hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Deed of Trust shall
contain an endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that
any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Trustor which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of said insurance, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
deductions against Trustor are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be
canceled or changed except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice delivered to Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.


                                        4

<PAGE>   6



         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Trustor shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Trustor shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Trust Property or any part thereof or interest therein
or the occupancy thereof by Trustor, then Trustor shall indemnify, defend and
hold Huntington harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Huntington in any
such litigation, whether or not any such litigation is prosecuted to judgment.
Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Huntington, its
officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to
Trustor, the Trust Property, other property of Trustor or the property of others
under control of Trustor from any cause insured against or required to be
insured against by the provisions of the Deed of Trust.

         Trustor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Trustor shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall prevent Trustor from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 6 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Deed of Trust; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i)
shall specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the
Improvements and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the
amount otherwise required to be carried under the Deed of Trust; (ii) shall not
contain any clause which would result in the insured thereunder becoming a
co-insurer of any loss with the insurer under such policy; and (iii) shall in
all other respects comply with the provisions of the Deed of Trust.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Trustor, and used
by Trustor to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Trustor should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the fair
market value of the Trust Property is indicated, Huntington shall be entitled,
at its option, to cause the Trust Property to be reappraised at Trustor's
expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Trustor with the loan to
value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results of such
reappraisal causes Trustor not to be in compliance with the required loan to
value ratio, Trustor may either furnish substitute property, as provided for in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on

                                        5

<PAGE>   7



the Trust Property as existed immediately prior to the loss and the plans and
specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington. In the event Huntington
believes it is necessary in order to establish value, Huntington may, at its
option, cause the Trust Property to be reappraised at Trustor's expense. All
insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The adjustment of such
insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by Huntington.

         Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         7. ESCROW. Trustor, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Deed of Trust, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Trustor shall fail to
timely pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the
event of any other default and Huntington does not then elect to exercise its
other remedies, then Trustor shall, upon request of Huntington, pay to
Huntington on the first day of each month, until the Indebtedness is fully paid,
a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or estimated yearly taxes,
assessments, premiums for such insurance as may be required by the terms hereof.
Huntington shall hold such monthly payments which may be mingled with its
general funds, without obligation to pay interest thereon, unless otherwise
required by applicable law, to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums when due. Trustor agrees that sufficient funds shall be so accumulated
for the payment of said charges one (1) month prior to the due date thereof and
that Trustor shall furnish Huntington with proper statements covering the same
fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates thereof. In the event the Trust
Property is sold pursuant to the power of sale contained herein, or if
Huntington should take a deed in lieu thereof, the amount so accumulated shall
be credited on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If the total of the
monthly payments as made under this Section 7 shall exceed the payments actually
made by Huntington, such excess shall be credited on subsequent monthly payments
of the same nature, but if the total of such monthly payments so made under this
Section 7 shall be insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance
premiums then due, then said Trustor shall pay upon demand the amount necessary
to make up the deficiency, which payments shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.
To the extent that all the provisions of this Section 7 for such payments of
taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums to Huntington, are complied with,
Trustor shall be relieved of compliance with the covenants contained in Sections
5 and 6 herein as to the amounts paid only, but nothing contained in this
Section 7 shall be construed as in any way limiting the rights of Huntington at
its option to pay any and all of said items when due.

         8. WASTE; REPAIR. Trustor shall neither commit nor permit any waste on
the Trust Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on
the Property in good condition and repair.

         9. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Trustor shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Trust Property to be reappraised at Trustor's expense.

         10. ADVANCES SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST. Upon failure of Trustor to
comply with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Trust Property or
Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Trustor, shall be immediately due and payable by
Trustor shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Trust Property and be secured by the Deed of
Trust and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         11. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Trustor shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Deed of Trust was executed. Trustor
shall comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and

                                        6

<PAGE>   8



requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Trust Property, both
during the construction of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to
the completion thereof, and Trustor shall not permit the use thereof for any
illegal purpose.

         12. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Trust Property after reasonable notice to
Trustor and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Trust Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Trustor shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         13. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Trust Property. The term
"minerals" as used herein shall include, without limitation, oil, gas,
casinghead gas, coal, lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, helium,
uranium and all other natural elements, compounds and substances, including sand
and gravel.

         14. CONDEMNATION. If all the Trust Property and Improvements are taken
or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Trustor, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

         In the event a portion of the Improvements or Property are acquired in
any condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain,
to the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount
of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain
award shall be paid to Trustor, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in
paragraph 6 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where
the damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or less. The provisions
of paragraph 6 with respect to reappraisal and substitute property where there
is damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or less shall apply as if
fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award shall be
deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
6 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or greater. The conditions
to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be satisfied that the
repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size, quality and value to
those which existed previously, and the right to cause the Trust Property to be
reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or destruction of $500,000.00
or greater, shall be applicable as if fully rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 14 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         15. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES. That as additional security,
Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power, and
authority, during the continuance of this Trust, to collect the Property Income,
reserving to Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of
any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, to
collect and retain such Property Income as it becomes due and payable but in no
event more than one month in advance. Upon an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined, Beneficiary may at any time, without notice, either in person, by
agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without

                                        7

<PAGE>   9



regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured,
enter upon and take possession of said Property or any part thereof, rent said
Property, in his own name sue for or otherwise collect such Property Income,
including that past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses
of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, upon any
indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. The
entering upon and taking possession of said Property, the collection of such
Property Income, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or
waive any default or notice of Trustee's sale hereunder or invalidate any act
done pursuant to such notice.

                  (b) Trustor hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

                           (i) Trustor has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Trustor has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents.

                           (ii) Trustor shall, at Trustor's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Trustor shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations
and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                           (iii) Trustor shall generally operate and maintain
the Trust Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                           (iv) Trustor shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.

                           (v) Trustor shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Trustor under any of the
Leases; and Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Trustor immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Trust Property upon Huntington or make Huntington
responsible or liable for any negligence in the management, operation, upkeep,
repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or injury or death to any
party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                           (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid
directly to Huntington, and, Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases
(or any other parties in possession of the Trust Property) to pay all of the
Rents directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for
which this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                           (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith
enter and take possession of the Trust Property and to manage, operate, lease
and develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Trust Property as Huntington, in
its sole discretion, may deem proper; and


                                        8

<PAGE>   10



                           (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith
enter into and upon the Trust Property and take possession thereof, and to
appoint an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings
to have a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 15(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Trust
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Trust Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Trust Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Trust Property, or
any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the payment of
interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the
costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Trust Property and
collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes shall
become indebtedness of Trustor to Huntington secured by the Deed of Trust.
Unless Huntington and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Trustor and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in
the Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to exercise the power of
sale contained herein or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon.
Huntington shall have such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the
value of the Trust Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the
solvency or insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or
the other sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Trustor hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Trustor, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Trustor under the Leases.

                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         16. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Deed of Trust is
intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as
enacted in the State of Arizona (the "UCC") for any of the Trust Property
comprising personal property and fixtures which may be subject to a security
interest pursuant to the UCC, and Trustor hereby grants to Huntington a security
interest in said personal property and fixtures, whether said property is now
existing or hereafter acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts,
additions, repairs and accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and,
if sold or otherwise disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds)
thereof. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing
statements covering said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in
such form as Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of
Huntington's security interest with respect to said personal property and
fixtures. Trustor shall not create or suffer to be created any other security
interest in said personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof
and additions thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth
in Section 17 hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party
under the UCC and, at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided
in Section 17 hereof with respect to such property.

         17. EVENT OF DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by
this reference herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, at the option of
Huntington, without notice or demand, the same being hereby expressly waived,
the entire amount shall become immediately due and payable, and, in addition to
any other right or remedy which Huntington may now or hereafter have at law, in
equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington shall have the right and power:
to invoke the power of sale and any other remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided for herein. Trustor acknowledges that the power of sale herein
granted may be exercised by Huntington without prior judicial hearing.
Huntington shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in
pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and costs

                                        9

<PAGE>   11



of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports, all of which shall be
additional sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

         18. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Trustor or its successors or assigns, any junior lienholder, without liability
on Huntington's part and notwithstanding Trustor's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Trustor in the Deed of Trust, extend the time for payment of the
Indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone
liable on any of said Indebtedness, accept a renewal note or notes therefor,
release from the lien of the Deed of Trust any part of the Trust Property, take
or release other or additional security, reconvey any part of the Trust
Property, consent to any map or plan of the Trust Property, consent to the
granting of any easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, or
agree in writing with Trustor to modify the rate of interest or period of
amortization of the Notes or to change the amount of the monthly installments
payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Huntington pursuant to the terms of
this Section 18 shall not affect the obligation of Trustor or Trustor's
successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by the Deed of Trust and to
observe the covenants of contained herein, and shall not affect the lien or
priority of lien of the Deed of Trust on the Trust Property. Trustor shall pay
Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance
premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's option for any
such action if taken at Trustor's request.

         19. PARCELS. That upon default by Trustor in the payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder,
Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by
delivery to Trustee of written notice thereof, setting forth the nature thereof,
and of election to cause to be sold the Trust Property under this Deed of Trust.
Trustee may cause said Property to be sold in one parcel or in separate parcels
of such dimensions as Trustee may determine; a sale of part of said Property
shall not invalidate the lien hereof on the portions remaining unsold. The
remedies granted to Trustee hereunder may be enforced concurrently or
successively and are in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
Trustee and Beneficiary at law or in equity. Beneficiary also shall deposit with
Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Notes, and all documents evidencing expenditures
secured hereby.

         20. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Trustor hereby agrees to pay to Huntington all
costs of enforcing, collecting and securing, and of attempting to enforce,
collect and secure, the Notes, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs, whether such attempt be made by suit, in
bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due Huntington under
the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree rendered.

         21. SALE PURSUANT TO POWER OF SALE. Trustee shall record and give
notice of Trustee's sale in the manner required by law, and after the lapse of
such time as may then be required by law, Trustee shall sell, in the manner
required by law, said Property at public auction at the time and place fixed by
it in said notice of Trustee's sale to the highest bidder for cash in lawful
money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone or
continue the sale by giving notice of postponement or continuance by public
declaration at the time and place last appointed for the sale. Trustee shall
deliver to such purchaser its Deed conveying the Property so sold, but without
any covenant or warranty, expressed or implied. Any person, including Trustor,
Trustee, or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.

                  After deducting all costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee and
of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale and
reasonable attorney's fees, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment
of: All sums then secured hereby and all other sums due under the terms hereof,
with accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons
legally entitled thereto, or as provided in A.R.S. Sec. 33-812. To the extent
permitted by law, an action may be

                                       10

maintained by Beneficiary to recover a deficiency judgment for any balance due
hereunder. Beneficiary may foreclose this Deed of Trust as a realty Deed of
Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing.

         22. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Trustor shall maintain full and
correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         24. SUBORDINATE DEEDS OF TRUST. Trustor shall not, without the prior
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, grant or permit to be created any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, covering any of the Trust
Property (each a "Subordinate Deed of Trust"). If Huntington consents to a
Subordinate Deed of Trust or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Deed
of Trust shall contain express covenants to the effect that:

                  (a) the lien of the Subordinate Deed of Trust and all
instruments incorporated therein by reference is and always shall be
unconditionally subordinate to the lien of the Deed of Trust and to all advances
made pursuant to, and sums secured by, the Deed of Trust, and the Deed of Trust
and all instruments incorporated herein by reference may be renewed, extended,
restructured, modified, increased or reinstated at any time without giving
notice to or obtaining the consent of the holder of the Subordinate Deed of
Trust holder;

                  (b) if any action shall be instituted to sell the Trust
Property or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Deed of Trust, no tenant of any of
the Leases shall be named as a party defendant and no action shall be taken
which would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent
of Huntington;

                  (c) in the event of any conflict between the covenants and
agreements of the Deed of Trust and the Subordinate Deed of Trust, the covenants
and agreements of the Deed of Trust shall prevail;

                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the payment of the
Indebtedness and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance
of the Trust Property in such order as Huntington may determine, prior to being
applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Deed of Trust;

                  (e) a copy of any notice of default under the Subordinate Deed
of Trust and written notice and opportunity to cure of not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of any action to sell pursuant to a power of sale
contained therein or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Deed of Trust shall be
given to Huntington; and

                  (f) the holder of the Subordinate Deed of Trust shall
acknowledge the existence of the Indebtedness secured hereby and further
acknowledge that the lien of the Deed of Trust shall at all times be and remain
superior and prior to the lien of the Subordinate Deed of Trust to the extent of
the entire Indebtedness secured hereby, notwithstanding any change in the
variable rate of interest being charged under the Notes.

         25. RELEASE. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Instrument,
Huntington shall release this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall pay Huntington's
reasonable costs incurred in releasing this Deed of Trust. If Trustee is
requested to release this Instrument, all Notes evidencing indebtedness secured
by this Instrument shall be surrendered to Trustee.

         26. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE. If Trustee or any successor trustee to Trustee
should die, resign or become incapacitated or neglect, refuse or become
disqualified to act hereunder, Huntington at Huntington's option without notice
to Trustor may remove Trustee and appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee
appointed hereunder by an instrument recorded in the county in which this Deed
of Trust is recorded. Without conveyance of the Trust Property, the successor
trustee shall succeed to all the title, power and duties conferred upon the
Trustee herein and by applicable law.

         27. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing. If mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, certified with return receipt requested, then such shall be effective
upon its deposit in the mails. Notice given in any other manner shall be
effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice,
the addresses of Trustor, Trustee and Huntington shall be as set forth below;
provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's
address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United
States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property IN TRUST for the benefit of

         Borrower covenants that Borrower is lawfully seized of the estate

lien of this Instrument; the lien of real estate taxes and assessments not yet
due; the rights of tenants in possession under leases and other matters and
encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's policy of
title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the lien of
this Instrument (the "Permitted Exceptions"), and that Borrower will warrant and
defend generally the title to the Property against all claims and demands,
whatsoever, except for those items set forth above.

         THIS INSTRUMENT SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES AND OTHER FUTURE
OBLIGATIONS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE STATED PRINCIPAL
INDEBTEDNESS OF $190,000,000.00.  THIS INSTRUMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED BY MO.
REV. STAT. SECTION 443.055.

         The Notes, the Loan Agreement, this Instrument, the other notes issued
from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreements,
and any other document evidencing or securing or guaranteeing the indebtedness
secured hereby are hereinafter collectively referred to as ("Loan Documents").

         Borrower and Huntington covenant and agree as follows:

                  1. TITLE. Borrower represents that it has good and marketable
title in fee simple to the Mortgaged Property, except for rights of tenants in
possession under leases, current real estate taxes and assessments and other
matters and encumbrances approved by Huntington for inclusion in the lender's
policy of title insurance issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company insuring the
lien of the Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions"). If the interest of Huntington
in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or shall be
attacked, directly or indirectly, Borrower hereby authorizes Huntington, at
Borrower's expense, to take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of
such interest, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense
of litigation and the compromise or discharge of claims made against such
interest. Any sums so expended by Huntington shall be charged against Borrower
and collectible in accordance with the terms of Section 12 hereof.

                                        2

<PAGE>   4



         2. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower, upon the request of Huntington, shall
execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the
purposes of the Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security
interests created thereby any property intended by the terms thereof to be
covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements or appurtenances to the
Mortgaged Property.

         3. SUBROGATION FOR FURTHER SECURITY. Huntington shall be subrogated for
its further security to the lien, although released of record, of any and all
encumbrances paid with any advance of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Huntington
and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and remedies under the lien
or liens to which Huntington is subrogated.

         4. STATUS QUO. Except as expressly permitted herein or except with the
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, Borrower shall not (a) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease or
otherwise convey or further encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any portion
thereof, or legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein; (b) sell, assign,
pledge or otherwise transfer any beneficial interests in Borrower which
individually or in the aggregate would have the effect of transferring the power
to direct the operations of Borrower or the Mortgaged Property; (c) contract for
any of the same; (d) permit the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or
legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein, to be subject to any superior
or inferior lien or encumbrance; (e) subdivide, resubdivide or submit to the
condominium form of ownership all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion thereof; or (f) initiate or acquiesce in any change in the zoning
classification of the Property or any portion thereof.

         5. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower shall promptly pay the
Indebtedness as the same becomes due and payable.

         6. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall furnish to Huntington within
ten (10) days of any written request of Huntington, a written statement, duly
acknowledged by Borrower, setting forth the sums secured by the Mortgage and any
right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Borrower alleges to exist
against such sums and obligations secured by the Mortgage.

         7. TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Borrower shall promptly pay before
delinquency all taxes, assessments, charges, fines or impositions, general,
local or special (collectively the "Impositions"), levied upon the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or upon Huntington's interest therein, or upon
the Mortgage or the Indebtedness, by any duly or legally constituted public
authority, municipality, township, county or state or the United States, and
upon request, will provide evidence of the payment thereof to Huntington;
provided that Borrower, at Borrower's own cost and expense may, if it shall in
good faith so desire, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, in
which event Borrower may defer the payment thereof for such period as such
contest shall be actively prosecuted and shall be pending undetermined; further
provided, however, that Borrower shall not allow any such Impositions so
contested to remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property, or the lien thereon created by such item, to
be sold by federal, state, county or municipal authority for the nonpayment
thereof. Pending any such contest, Borrower shall maintain adequate book
reserves with respect to such Impositions being contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Huntington's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage or the Indebtedness cannot be
lawfully paid by Borrower, then the Mortgaged Property shall be withdrawn from
the Collateral Pool (as such team is defined in the Loan Agreement). In the
event the withdrawal of the Mortgaged Property from the Collateral Pool causes
Borrower not to be in compliance with the required loan to value ratio under the
Loan Agreement, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as provided in
Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in an amount which
will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         8. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall provide, maintain and
keep in force at all times the following policies of insurance:


                                        3

<PAGE>   5



                  (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Improvements and
the Personal Property caused by fire and any of the risks covered by insurance
of the type now known as "coverage against all risks of physical loss", in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the
Improvements and the Personal Property and sufficient to prevent Borrower and
Huntington from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (b) Comprehensive broad form general liability insurance,
insuring against any and all claims for personal injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or about the Property, the Improvements and the
adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, subject to a combined single limit
of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injury, death
or property damage arising out of any one accident and a general aggregate limit
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and otherwise with terms
and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Huntington) for all employees
of Borrower engaged on or with respect to the Property and the Improvements in
the limits established by law or, if limits are not so established, in such
amounts as are acceptable to Huntington;

                  (d) During the course of any development or construction of
the Improvements, builder's completed value risk insurance against "all risks of
physical loss", including collapse and transit coverage, in the amounts set
forth in Subsection 8(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Huntington;

                  (e) Upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the
Improvements or any portion thereof, business interruption insurance and/or loss
of "rental value" insurance in an amount not less than the appraised rentals for
the Mortgaged Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with
terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington;

                  (f) If the Improvements are located in a federally-designated
flood hazard area, then flood hazard coverage, in the maximum amount available
and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Huntington; and

                  (g) Such other insurance coverage, and in such amount, as may
from time to time be required by Huntington against the same or other hazards.

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Huntington. Each
policy of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in
the form of the standard New York mortgagee clause or otherwise acceptable to
Huntington, showing Huntington as loss payee. Each policy of liability insurance
shall show Huntington as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides,
each policy of insurance required by the terms of the Mortgage shall contain an
endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Huntington, (i) that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any
act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said
insurance, (ii) that any rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against
Borrower are waived and (iii) that such policy shall not be canceled or changed
except upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice delivered to
Huntington.

         All such insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be written by
companies with a BEST'S INSURANCE REPORTS policy holders rating of A+ and a
financial size category of Class XV or be expressly approved by Huntington in
writing.

         Huntington shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Huntington with certified copies of the policies, and
Borrower shall promptly furnish to Huntington all renewal notices and all
receipts of paid premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
date of any such policy, Borrower shall deliver to Huntington a renewal policy,
or certificate thereof, in form acceptable to Huntington.

         If Huntington is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning
the Loan Documents or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest
therein or the occupancy thereof by Borrower,

                                        4

<PAGE>   6



then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Huntington harmless from all
liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by Huntington in any such litigation, whether or not any such
litigation is prosecuted to judgment. Borrower waives any and all right to claim
or recover against Huntington, its officers, employees, agents and
representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Mortgaged Property,
other property of Borrower or the property of others under control of Borrower
from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the
provisions of the Mortgage.

         Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section unless Huntington has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Huntington as a named insured with loss payable to Huntington under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Borrower shall
immediately notify Huntington whenever any such separate insurance is taken out
and shall promptly deliver to Huntington copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall prevent Borrower from keeping
the Improvements and Personal Property insured or causing the same to be insured
against the risks referred to in this Section 8 under a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of the
Mortgage; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall
specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Improvements
and Personal Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount otherwise
required to be carried under the Mortgage; (ii) shall not contain any clause
which would result in the insured thereunder becoming a co-insurer of any loss
with the insurer under such policy; and (iii) shall in all other respects comply
with the provisions of the Mortgage.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount of $500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Borrower, and used
by Borrower to (i) repair or restore the Improvements to the same condition in
which they were prior to the Casualty, or (ii) for its own purposes, after first
making such repairs to the remaining Improvements so that the same may continue
as a first class shopping center, both architecturally and aesthetically. In the
event Borrower should elect option (ii) above, if a material decrease in the
fair market value of the Mortgaged Property is indicated, Huntington shall be
entitled, at its option, to cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense to satisfy itself of continued compliance by Borrower with
the loan to value ratio required by the Loan Agreement. In the event the results
of such reappraisal causes Borrower not to be in compliance with the required
loan to value ratio, Borrower may either furnish substitute property, as
provided for in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, or pay down the Indebtedness in
an amount which will bring the loan to value ratio into compliance.

         In the event the damage or destruction to the Improvements is in an
amount in excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as
hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds are to be applied toward the
restoration of the Improvements. Such sums shall be deposited in escrow with
Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or
reconstructing the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Huntington
as work progresses, provided that prior to any disbursement, Huntington is in
receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to it that: (i) the work has been
completed, (ii) there are no outstanding mechanics liens or materialmen's liens,
and (iii) that all charges, costs and expenses incurred with respect to work
completed have been paid in full or will be paid in full with such proceeds.
Prior to the release of any proceeds, Huntington must be satisfied that repair,
restoration or reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Improvements will be
substantially equal in size, quality and value to the Improvements then
presently erected on the Mortgaged Property as existed immediately prior to the
loss and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by Huntington.
In the event Huntington believes it is necessary in order to establish value,
Huntington may, at its option, cause the Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Huntington. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Huntington.


                                        5

<PAGE>   7



         Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be applied by Huntington to the
Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may determine.

         9. ESCROW. Borrower, in order to more fully protect the security of the
Mortgage, does hereby covenant and agree that, if Borrower shall fail to timely
pay taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as provided above, or in the event
of any other default and Huntington does not then elect to exercise its other
remedies, then Borrower shall, upon request of Huntington, pay to Huntington on
the first day of each month, until the Indebtedness is fully paid, a sum equal
to one-twelfth (1/12) of the known or estimated yearly taxes, assessments,
premiums for such insurance as may be required by the terms hereof and, if
applicable, any replacement reserve amounts payable by Borrower. Huntington
shall hold such monthly payments which may be mingled with its general funds,
without obligation to pay interest thereon, unless otherwise required by
applicable law, to pay such taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums when due.
Borrower agrees that sufficient funds shall be so accumulated for the payment of
said charges one (1) month prior to the due date thereof and that Borrower shall
furnish Huntington with proper statements covering the same fifteen (15) days
prior to the due dates thereof. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or
if Huntington should take a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the amount so
accumulated shall be credited on account of the unpaid principal or interest. If
the total of the monthly payments as made under this Section 9 shall exceed the
payments actually made by Huntington, such excess shall be credited on
subsequent monthly payments of the same nature, but if the total of such monthly
payments so made under this Section 9 shall be insufficient to pay such taxes,
assessments, and insurance premiums then due, then said Borrower shall pay upon
demand the amount necessary to make up the deficiency, which payments shall be
secured by the Mortgage. To the extent that all the provisions of this Section 9
for such payments of taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums to Huntington,
are complied with, Borrower shall be relieved of compliance with the covenants
contained in Sections 7 and 8 herein as to the amounts paid only, but nothing
contained in this Section 9 shall be construed as in any way limiting the rights
of Huntington at its option to pay any and all of said items when due.

         10. WASTE; REPAIR. Borrower shall neither commit nor permit any waste
on the Property and shall keep all Improvements now or hereafter erected on the
Property in good condition and repair.

         11. ALTERATIONS; CONSTRUCTION. Borrower shall have the right to remove,
demolish or alter any of the Improvements, now existing or hereafter constructed
on the Property, or any of the Personal Property in or on the Property or
Improvements, to the extent that the value of same is not diminished. If
Huntington believes that there has been a material decrease in value following
any such removal, demolition, or alteration, it may, at its option, cause the
Mortgaged Property to be reappraised at Borrower's expense.

         12. ADVANCES SECURED BY MORTGAGE. Upon failure of Borrower to comply
with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property
or Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges and the costs of procurement of
title evidence and insurance as aforesaid, Huntington may, at its option, pay
the same, and any sums so paid by Huntington, together with the reasonable fees
of counsel employed by Huntington in consultation and in connection therewith,
shall be charged against Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable by
Borrower, shall bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest (as defined in the
Notes) and shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and be secured by the
Mortgage and may be collected in the same manner as the principal debt hereby
secured.

         13. USE. Unless Huntington otherwise agrees in writing, Borrower shall
not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Property and
Improvements were intended at the time the Mortgage was executed. Borrower shall
comply with the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body applicable to the Mortgaged Property, both during the
construction of any Improvements on the Property and subsequent to the
completion thereof, and Borrower shall not permit the use thereof for any
illegal purpose.


                                        6

<PAGE>   8



         14. INSPECTION. Any person authorized by Huntington shall have the
right to enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property after reasonable notice
to Borrower and during normal business hours. Huntington shall have no duty,
however, to make such inspections. Any inspection of the Mortgaged Property by
Huntington shall be entirely for its benefit, and Borrower shall in no way rely
or claim reliance thereon.

         15. MINERALS. Without the prior written consent of Huntington, there
shall be no drilling or exploring for, or extraction, removal, or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property. The term "minerals" as
used herein shall include, without limitation, oil, gas, casinghead gas, coal,
lignite, hydrocarbons, methane, carbon dioxide, helium, uranium and all other
natural elements, compounds and substances, including sand and gravel.

         16. CONDEMNATION. If all the Mortgaged Property and Improvements are
taken or acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of
eminent domain or, with Huntington's consent, by any conveyance in lieu thereof,
the amount of any award or other payment for such taking, or conveyance or
damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the
then remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Huntington, and
Huntington is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper
receipts therefor in the name of Borrower, and the same shall be paid forthwith
to Huntington. Such award or payment so received by Huntington shall be applied
to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable).

         In the event a portion of the Property Improvements are acquired in any
condemnation proceeding or by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to
the extent that the damage to the Property or improvements is in the amount of
$500,000.00 or less, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of any such condemnation or eminent domain award shall be
paid to Borrower, who shall use such proceeds as provided for in paragraph 8
hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds where the damage
or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or less. The provisions of
paragraph 8 with respect to reappraisal and substitute property where there is
damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or less shall apply as if
fully rewritten.

         In the event the damage to the Improvements or Property by virtue of
such condemnation proceeding or eminent domain proceeding is in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00, and provided there is no Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, the proceeds of such eminent domain or condemnation award shall be
deposited in escrow with Huntington as escrow agent for the purpose of
repairing, restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and
shall be disbursed by Huntington in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
8 hereof with respect to the disbursement of insurance proceeds, where the
damage or destruction is in an amount of $500,000.00 or greater. The conditions
to disbursement, including the requirement that Huntington be satisfied that the
repaired or restored Improvements would be equal in size, quality and value to
those which existed previously, and the right to cause the Mortgaged Property to
be reappraised, as provided for where there is damage or destruction of
$500,000.00 or greater, shall be applicable as if fully rewritten.

         Anything in this Section 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award shall, at the sole option of Huntington, be
applied by Huntington to the Indebtedness in such order as Huntington may
determine.

         17. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES.

                  (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns
all present and future leases covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property
(the "Leases"), together with any extensions or renewals thereof and any
guaranties of any tenants' obligations thereunder, and all of the rents,
royalties, bonuses, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits now due or
which may hereafter become due under the Leases or any extensions or renewals
thereof, as well as all moneys due and to become due to Borrower under the
Leases for services, materials or installations supplied whether or not the same
were supplied under the terms of the Leases, all liquidated damages following
default under the

                                        7

<PAGE>   9



Leases and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of
rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the
Mortgaged Property (such rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues, profits and
other moneys assigned hereby are hereinafter collectively called "Rents"),
together with any and all rights and remedies which Borrower may have against
any tenant under any of the Leases or others in possession of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof for the collection or recovery of Rents so
assigned. Prior to an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Borrower shall
have a license to collect and receive all Rents as trustee for the benefit of
Huntington and Borrower.

                  (b) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

                        (i) Borrower has good title to the Leases and Rents
hereby assigned and has the right, power and capacity to make this assignment.
No person or entity other than Borrower has or will have any right, title or
interest in or to the Leases or Rents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

                        (ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Leases and give prompt notice to Huntington of any failure to
do so. Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce or secure the
performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the tenants under
the Leases and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases or the obligations
and undertakings of the tenants thereunder.

                        (iii) Borrower shall generally operate and maintain the
Mortgaged Property in a manner to insure maximum Rents.

                        (iv) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign the Leases or the Rents.

                        (v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than sixty
(60) days prior to accrual.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under any of
the Leases; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to save
Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising from
any of the Leases or from this assignment, including, without limitation, claims
by tenants for security deposits or for rental payments more than one (1) month
in advance and not delivered to Huntington. All amounts indemnified against
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees if paid by Huntington, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Notes, and
shall be payable by Borrower immediately without demand and shall be secured
hereby. This assignment shall not place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Mortgaged Property upon Huntington or make
Huntington responsible or liable for any negligence in the management,
operation, upkeep, repair or control of same resulting in loss or damage or
injury or death to any party.

                  (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as hereinafter
defined:

                        (i) All Rents assigned hereunder shall be paid directly
to Huntington, and Huntington may notify the tenants under the Leases (or any
other parties in possession of the Mortgaged Property) to pay all of the Rents
directly to Huntington at the address specified in Section 27 hereof, for which
this assignment shall be sufficient warrant;

                        (ii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to manage, operate, lease and
develop the same; to collect as hereunder provided all or any Rents payable
under the Leases; to make repairs as Huntington deems appropriate; and to
perform such other acts in connection with the management, operation,
development, leasing and construction of the Mortgaged Property as Huntington,
in its sole discretion, may deem proper; and


                                        8

<PAGE>   10



                        (iii) Huntington shall have the right to forthwith enter
into and upon the Mortgaged Property and take possession thereof, and to appoint
an agent, or in the event of the institution of foreclosure proceedings to have
a receiver appointed for the collection of the Rents.

         In the event that Huntington shall pursue its remedies under
Subsections 17(d)(ii) or (iii) above, the net income, after allowing a
reasonable fee for the collection thereof and the management of the Mortgaged
Property, may be applied toward the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, repairs, protection of the Mortgaged Property or Huntington's lien
thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property and the costs of
procurement of such insurance and of evidence of title to the Mortgaged
Property, or any of them, or in the reduction of the Indebtedness and the
payment of interest, as Huntington may elect. If the Rents are not sufficient to
meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property
and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Huntington for such purposes
shall become indebtedness of Borrower to Huntington secured by the Mortgage.
Unless Huntington and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon demand from Huntington to Borrower and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate of Interest stated in
the Notes.

         The exercise or failure to exercise any of the above remedies shall not
in any way preclude or abridge the right of Huntington to foreclose the Mortgage
or to take any other legal or equitable action thereon. Huntington shall have
such rights or privileges as aforesaid regardless of the value of the Mortgaged
Property given as security hereunder, and regardless of the solvency or
insolvency of any party bound for the payment of the Indebtedness or the other
sums hereby secured.

                  (e) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under
the Leases to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington, without
further consent of Borrower, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Huntington to the tenants. Any such payment to Huntington shall
constitute payment to Borrower under the Leases.

                  (f) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created
by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property and Improvements without the
prior written consent of Huntington.

         18. SECURITY AGREEMENT. The Mortgage is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of
Missouri (the "UCC") for any of the Mortgaged Property comprising personal
property and fixtures which may be subject to a security interest pursuant to
the UCC, and Borrower hereby grants to Huntington a security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, whether said property is now existing or
hereafter acquired, together with replacements, replacement parts, additions,
repairs and accessories incorporated therein or affixed thereto and, if sold or
otherwise disposed of, the proceeds (including insurance proceeds) thereof.
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Huntington UCC financing statements
covering said personal property and fixtures from time to time and in such form
as Huntington may require to perfect or maintain the priority of Huntington's
security interest with respect to said personal property and fixtures. Borrower
shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in said
personal property and fixtures, including replacements thereof and additions
thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth in Section 19
hereof, Huntington shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and,
at Huntington's option, may also invoke the remedies provided in Section 19
hereof with respect to such property.

         19. DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Loan Agreement, which meaning is incorporated by this reference
herein.

         Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default beyond any applicable
cure period, at the option of Huntington, without notice or demand, the same
being hereby expressly waived, the entire amount shall become immediately due
and payable, and, in addition to any other right or remedy which Huntington may
now or hereafter have at law, in equity, or under the Loan Documents, Huntington
shall have the right and power: (a) to foreclose upon the Mortgage and the lien
hereof; (b) to sell the Mortgaged Property according to law; and (c) to enter
upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and/or have a receiver
appointed therefor as set forth in Section 17 hereof.


                                        9

<PAGE>   11



         20. NO WAIVER. The failure of Huntington to exercise any option to
declare the maturity of the principal debt or any other sums hereby secured
under any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or to forbear from exercising
any right or remedy available to Huntington under any provision of any of the
other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such
option, right or remedy or declare such maturity as to such past, continuing or
subsequent violation of any of the covenants and agreements of the Loan
Documents. Acceptance by Huntington of partial payments shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. From time to time, Huntington may, at
Huntington's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of
Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns, any junior lienholder or any of the
Guarantors, without liability on Huntington's part and notwithstanding
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in the Mortgage,
extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, reduce the
payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said Indebtedness, accept a
renewal note or notes therefor, release from the lien of the Mortgage any part
of the Mortgaged Property, take or release other or additional security,
reconvey any part of the Mortgaged Property, consent to any map or plan of the
Mortgaged Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any
extension or subordination agreement, or agree in writing with Borrower to
modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of the Note or to change
the amount of the monthly installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by
Huntington pursuant to the terms of this Section 20 shall not affect the
obligation of Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums
secured by the Mortgage and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained
herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any of the Guarantors, and shall not
affect the lien or priority of lien of the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property.
Borrower shall pay Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such
title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's
option for any such action if taken at Borrower's request.

         21. PARCELS; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. In the event of foreclosure of the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels or as an
entirety as Huntington may elect.

         Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the
Mortgaged Property held by Huntington or by any other party, Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Huntington shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who becomes liable for Borrower's
obligations and covenants under the Mortgage, and any party who now or hereafter
acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof,
hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in
connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law
or provided herein.

         22. COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Huntington
all costs of foreclosing the Mortgage, and all costs of enforcing, collecting
and securing, and of attempting to enforce, collect and secure, the Notes,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees,
court costs, notice charges and title insurance charges, whether such attempt be
made by suit, in bankruptcy, or otherwise, and such costs and any other sums due
Huntington under the Loan Documents may be included in any judgment or decree
rendered.

         23. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Huntington's inspection, and shall furnish
such financial information and reports as are referenced in the Loan Agreement.

         24. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (a) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with
Huntington that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (i) "Environmental Laws" mean all federal, state and
local laws, statutes, ordinances and codes relating to the use, storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or

term in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601, ET SEQ.) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         (b) Borrower represents and warrants to Huntington that, to its

Improvements as a shopping center in accordance with all Environmental Laws.

                        (ii) Borrower shall comply with, and shall cause all

                        (v) Huntington shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any violation by Borrower of the Environmental Laws and
Huntington's cost and expense to so cure shall be secured by the Mortgage.

         (d) Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to
indemnify, defend and save harmless Indemnitee from and against any and all
damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation,
demands, defenses, judgments, suits, actions, proceedings, costs, disbursements
and/or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any
time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Indemnitee

conveyance of the Property and Improvements and (i) the storage, treatment

Hazardous Substance, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substance or a Release

material breach of or failure to perform any covenant made by Borrower herein
(collectively, the "Indemnified Matters").

         The liability of Borrower to Indemnitee hereunder shall in no way be
limited, abridged, impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the repayment of all
sums and the satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower under the Notes, the
Mortgage or other Loan Documents, (ii) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the
acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, (iii) any amendment or modification of the

conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents whether by Huntington, by
operation of law or otherwise, (vi) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of
the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, (vii) any exculpatory provision
contained in any of the Loan Documents limiting Huntington recourse to property
encumbered by the Mortgage or to any other security or limiting Huntington
rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (viii) any applicable statute

readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding, or (xiv) any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or

         The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities Borrower may have to Huntington at common law.

         25. SUBORDINATE MORTGAGES. Borrower shall not, without the prior
written consent of Huntington, which consent may be withheld in Huntington's
sole discretion, grant or permit to be created any lien, security interest or
other encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, covering any of the
Mortgaged Property (each a "Subordinate Mortgage"). If Huntington consents to a
Subordinate Mortgage or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall
contain express covenants to the effect that:

                  (a) the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated therein by reference is and always shall be unconditionally
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to all advances made pursuant to,
and sums secured by, the Mortgage, and the Mortgage and all instruments
incorporated herein by reference may be renewed, extended, restructured,
modified, increased or reinstated at any time without giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Mortgage holder;

                                       12

<PAGE>   14



                  (b) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases shall
be named as a party defendant and no action shall be taken which would terminate
any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Huntington;

                  (c) in the event of any conflict between the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, the covenants and
agreements of the Mortgage shall prevail;

                  (d) Rents, if collected by or for the holder of the
Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Indebtedness
and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the
Mortgaged Property in such order as Huntington may determine, prior to being
applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage;

                  (e) a copy of any notice of default under the Subordinate
Mortgage and written notice and opportunity to cure of not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce
the Subordinate Mortgage shall be given to Huntington; and

                  (f) the holder of the Subordinate Mortgage shall acknowledge
the existence of the Indebtedness secured hereby and further acknowledge that
the lien of the Mortgage shall at all times be and remain superior and prior to
the lien of the Subordinate Mortgage to the extent of the entire Indebtedness
secured hereby, notwithstanding any change in the variable rate of interest
being charged under the Notes.

         26. BUSINESS PURPOSE. Borrower covenants that the proceeds of the loan
and secured by this Instrument will be used for business purposes as specified
in Section 408.015(2) of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended, and that
the principal obligation secured hereby constitutes a business loan which comes
within the purview of said Section.

         27. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing. If mailed by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, then such shall
be effective upon its deposit in the mails. Notice given in any other manner
shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of
notice, the addresses of Borrower and Huntington shall be as set forth below;
provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's

States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.

Mortgage shall not be affected thereby, but shall be construed as if it does not
contain such provision. Each right and remedy provided in the Mortgage is

SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH,
