statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations which may not be

delays and cost overruns; the level and volatility of interest rates; the

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

(a)      General Development of Business

         GRT is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed Maryland
REIT which was formed on September 1, 1993 to continue the business of The
Glimcher Company ("TGC"), and its affiliates, of owning, leasing, acquiring,
developing and operating a portfolio of retail properties consisting of regional
and super regional malls (including, most recently, value-oriented
super-regional malls) (the "Mall Properties") and community shopping centers
(including single tenant retail properties) (the "Community Centers"). The Mall
Properties and Community Centers are each individually referred to herein as a
"Property" and the Mall Properties and Community Centers in which GRT holds an
ownership position are collectively referred to herein as the "Properties". On
January 26, 1994, GRT consummated an initial public offering (the "IPO") of
15,825,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares"). On
February 3, 1994, GRT sold an additional 2,373,750 Shares as a result of the
underwriters exercising the over-allotment option granted to them in connection
with the IPO. The net proceeds of the IPO were used by GRT primarily to acquire
(at the time of the IPO) an 86.2% interest in Glimcher Properties Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership of
which Glimcher Properties Corporation ("GPC"), a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of GRT, is sole general partner, and to repay mortgage
indebtedness with respect to one of the Properties acquired in connection with
the IPO (the "IPO Properties). The Operating Partnership and/or its subsidiaries
applied the portion of the net proceeds received by it from GRT towards (i) the
acquisition of 46 Properties (the "Acquisition Properties"), (ii) the repayment
of certain mortgage indebtedness and prepayment penalties on 29 Properties (the
"Glimcher Properties") contributed to the Operating Partnership and its
affiliates by entities affiliated with Herbert Glimcher and David J. Glimcher or
the beneficial owners of such entities (collectively, the "Glimcher Entities"),
(iii) the payment to persons unaffiliated with TGC of the purchase price for
minority interests in certain of the Glimcher Properties, (iv) the payment of
other costs and expenses associated with the IPO transactions, and (v) for
working capital and other general business purposes. The net proceeds from the
exercise of the over-allotment option were used entirely to reduce the then
outstanding balance of GRT's credit facility.

         On June 27, 1995 and October 6, 1997, GRT completed public offerings
for an additional 3,500,000 and 1,750,000 Shares, respectively, (the "Additional
Offerings"). The net proceeds from the Additional Offerings were used by GRT to
acquire additional units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership then used the proceeds obtained in exchange for the
GRT units to reduce variable rate indebtedness. On November 17, 1997, GRT
completed a public offering of 4,800,000 shares of 9 1/4% Series B cumulative
redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest (the "Series B Preferred
Shares"), par value $0.01 per share, with each share having a liquidation
preference of $25.00. On November 25, 1997, GRT sold an additional 318,000
Series B Preferred Shares as a result of the underwriters exercising the
over-allotment option granted to them. The net proceeds were contributed to the
Operating Partnership and were used to (i) repay the balance of a $34.4 million
bridge loan facility and (ii) to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings
on GRT's credit facility.

         On November 27, 1996, the Company issued 34,000 shares of its 40,000
authorized Series A convertible preferred shares. The Series A preferred shares
were offered and sold in a private placement to an affiliate of Nomura Asset
Capital Corporation ("Nomura"), for an aggregate cash consideration of $34.0
million and may be 

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

redeemed by the Company at any time, prior to conversion, at its option without
any penalty or premiums. On November 7, 1997, the Series A preferred shares were
exchanged for Series A-1 preferred shares (the "Series A-1 Preferred Shares")
having substantially the same terms. Beginning in November 2001, the Series A-1
Preferred Shares are convertible into the number of Shares obtained by dividing
the liquidation preference by the conversion price per Share. The conversion
price per Share is the product of (i) the average market price per Share over
the 30 trading days prior to the conversion, multiplied by (ii) the applicable
conversion percentage which begins at 90.0% and decreases annually 5.0%, 5.0%
and 10.0% to 70.0%.

         On December 5, 1997, the Company issued 56,000 shares of its Series C
convertible preferred shares (the "Series C Preferred Shares"). The Series C
Preferred Shares were offered and sold in a private placement to an affiliate of
Nomura for an aggregate cash consideration of $56.0 million and may be redeemed
by the Company at any time, prior to conversion, at its option without any
penalty or premiums. On June 4, 1998, the Series C Preferred Shares were
exchanged for Series D preferred shares (the "Series D Preferred Shares") having
substantially the same terms. Beginning in December 2002, the Series D Preferred
Shares are convertible into the number of Shares obtained by dividing the
liquidation preference by the conversion price per Share. The conversion price
per Share is the product of (i) the average market price per Share over the 30
trading days prior to the conversion, multiplied by (ii) the applicable
conversion percentage which begins at 90.0% and decreases annually 5.0%, 5.0%
and 10.0% to 70.0%.

         The sale of the Series A-1 and Series D Preferred Shares was exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") by virtue of the fact that the Series A-1 and Series D Preferred Shares
were sold to Nomura affiliates for their account for investment and not with a
view towards the resale, transfer or distribution thereof, nor with any present
intention of distributing the Series A-1 and Series D Preferred Shares, thus
qualifying the sale as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public
offering in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In addition the
Nomura affiliates are "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 (a) under
the Securities Act.

        The Operating Partnership is a 99.0% limited partner of six Delaware
limited partnerships, Glimcher Holdings Limited Partnership ("Holdings"),
Glimcher Centers Limited Partnership ("Centers"), Grand Central Limited
Partnership ("GCLP"), Glimcher York Associates Limited Partnership ("York"),
Glimcher University Mall Limited Partnership ("University"), Montgomery Mall
Associates Limited Partnership ("Montgomery"), one Ohio limited partnership,
Morgantown Mall Associates Limited Partnership ("Morgantown") and three Delaware
limited liability companies, Glimcher Northtown Venture, LLC ("Northtown"),
Weberstown Mall, LLC ("Weberstown") and Glimcher Lloyd Venture, LLC ("Lloyd").
The general partner in each entity is either (i) GPC, (ii) wholly-owned by GPC,
or (iii) wholly-owned by GRT. The Operating Partnership is (i) an 81.8% member
of a Colorado limited liability company, Olathe Mall LLC ("Olathe") which is a
55.0% member in Great Plains Metro Mall LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("Great Plains"), (ii) a 32.3% member of a Delaware limited liability
company, Johnson City Venture, LLC, whose managing member, Glimcher Johnson
City, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a 1.0% member (collectively ,"Johnson
City"); (iii) a 39.0% member of a Delaware limited liability company, Dayton
Mall Venture, LLC, whose managing member, Glimcher Dayton Mall, Inc., is a 1.0%
member (collectively, "Dayton"); (iv) a 39.5% limited partner of a Delaware
limited partnership, Colonial Park Mall Limited Partnership, whose general
partner, Glimcher Colonial Trust, a Delaware business trust, is a 0.5% member
(collectively, "Colonial"), with an option to acquire the remaining 11.0%
interest in the entity which owns the Colonial Park Mall; (v) a 50.0% member of
a Delaware limited liability company, Glimcher New Jersey Metro Mall, LLC
("NJM"), which is a 60.0% member in Elizabeth Metro Mall, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company; (vi) a 33.85% member of Glimcher SuperMall Venture
LLC, ("SuperMall"), a Delaware limited liability company, whose managing member,
Glimcher Auburn Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a 1.0% member, (vii) a 20.0%
interest in San Mall, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a
99.5% member of San Mall Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership,
whose managing member, San Mall Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a 0.5%
member, (viii) a 50.0% interest in Polaris Center, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, (ix) a 20.0% interest in Eastland Mall, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, which is a 99.5% member of Eastland Mall Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, whose managing member, Eastland
Retail Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, is a 0.5% member and (x) a common
shareholder of Glimcher Development Corporation ("GDC"), a Delaware corporation,
with 95.0% economic interest and no voting interest. GDC was incorporated on
October 16, 1996; the construction, development, leasing and legal departments
of GRT were transferred to GDC on November 1, 1996, and provide their services
for a fee to ventures in which GRT has an ownership interest, as well as to
third parties. The operation of GDC allows the Company to earn non-qualified

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

revenues without jeopardizing its REIT status. The Operating Partnership and
entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled by GRT, on a consolidated
basis, are hereinafter referred to as the "Company."

         The Company does not engage or pay a REIT advisor. Management, leasing,
accounting, design and construction supervision expertise is provided through
its own personnel, through GDC, or, where appropriate, through outside
professionals.

(b) Acquisitions, Expansions, Renovations and Developments During the 1998
Fiscal Year

ACQUISITIONS

         The Company's objective is to acquire retail properties which appeal to
a wide range of national and regional tenants. The Company focuses primarily on
properties which individually or in combination with other Properties owned by
the Company, are capable of becoming a dominant retail property in their
respective trade areas. Additionally, the Company seeks accretive acquisitions
which can achieve increases in cash flow as a result of the Company's management
and leasing expertise. Consistent with this strategy, during 1998 the Company
acquired interests in joint ventures which purchased four Mall Properties
totaling approximately 3.5 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA")
for a total purchase price of approximately $196.0 million and acquired four
Mall Properties totaling approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA in which
it invested approximately $315.0 million.

          On January 15, 1998, the Company, in a joint venture with Nomura
completed a transaction for the recapitalization of the ownership of the
SuperMall of the Great Northwest in Seattle, Washington, for $103.0 million. The
SuperMall of the Great Northwest consists of approximately 933,000 square feet
of GLA including nine anchors. The Company has a 34.85% ownership interest in
this Property.

         On March 31, 1998, the Company purchased an interest in a joint venture
which owned Almeda Mall and Northwest Mall, both in Houston, Texas. The two
Properties were previously purchased by Nomura for $39.0 million. Almeda Mall
consists of approximately 792,000 square feet of GLA including five anchors and
Northwest Mall consists of approximately 799,000 square feet of GLA including
four anchors. The Company had managed these Properties since November 1, 1997.
The Company has a 20.0% ownership interest in the entity that owns these
Properties.

         On June 1, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Northtown
Mall in Blaine, Minnesota, for a purchase price of approximately $54.0 million.
Northtown Mall consists of approximately 825,000 square feet of GLA and includes
anchors Best Buy, HomePlace, Kohl's, Mervyn's California and Montgomery Ward.

         On July 16, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Montgomery
Mall in Montgomery, Alabama, for a purchase price of approximately $70.0
million. Montgomery Mall consists of approximately 728,000 square feet of GLA
and includes anchors Dillard's, JCPenney and Parisian.

         On August 1, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Weberstown
Mall in Stockton, California, for a purchase price of approximately $23.0
million. Weberstown Mall has approximately 839,000 square feet of GLA and

         On August 20, 1998, the Company, in a joint venture with Nomura
completed the acquisition of Eastland Mall in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a
purchase price of $54.0 million. The Company has a 20.0% ownership interest in
the entity that owns this Property. Eastland Mall consists of approximately 1.1
million square feet of GLA and includes anchors Belk, Dillard's, Ice Chalet,
JCPenney and Sears.

         On September 15, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Lloyd
Center in Portland, Oregon, for a purchase price of approximately $168.0
million. Lloyd Center consists of approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA

EXPANSIONS AND RENOVATIONS

         The Company maintains a strategy of selective expansion and renovation
of its Properties in order to improve the operating performance and the
competitive position of its existing Properties. The Company also engages in an
active redevelopment program with the objective of attracting innovative
retailers which management believes will enhance the operating performance of
the Properties. Certain examples of the Company's recent Property expansions and
renovations are described below.

         In 1996, the Company began expanding and renovating the Grand Central
Mall in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The renovation focused on enhancing the
entertainment component of the Mall Property, adding a food court and expanding
the existing cinema into an approximately 37,000 square-foot 12-screen complex.
The Company has made additional revenue enhancing expansions of this Mall
Property, including an approximately 83,000 square-foot Proffitt's which opened
in March 1998 and a County Market store, currently under construction. County
Market will be relocating to the new 58,000 square-foot outparcel building in
March 1999 and the Company expects to retenant the existing 38,500 square-foot
building during 1999.

         In 1997, the Company expanded the Indian Mound Mall, located in
Newark/Heath, Ohio, by approximately 122,000 square feet of GLA, which increased
its total GLA to approximately 543,000 square feet. The Company believes that
this expansion has enabled this Mall Property to continue to dominate its
market. The expansion is consistent with the Company's focus of combining strong
anchor tenants with an expanded entertainment component to provide a compelling
destination focus for shoppers. An approximately 93,000 square- foot Sears store
opened in September 1997, and the expansion of the current cinema from
approximately 18,000 square feet to approximately 42,000 square feet, as well as
the addition of approximately 5,000 square feet of mall shops, was completed
during the fourth quarter of 1997. The existing Elder-Beerman store is being
expanded by approximately 21,000 square feet of GLA and is set to open early in
1999. Upon completion of the Elder-Beerman store, the Property's GLA will
increase to approximately 564,000 square feet.

         In 1998, the Company expanded Georgesville Square, in Columbus, Ohio,
by adding a 63,000 square-foot 16-screen cinema. Additionally, the Company
expanded River Valley Mall, in Lancaster, Ohio, by adding a 23,500 square-foot
OfficeMax on one of the Property's outparcels, which opened in August 1998.
Finally, the Company announced an expansion at The Mall of Fairfield Commons,
with the addition of an approximately 89,000 square-foot Regal Cinemas on one of
the Property's outparcels, which is under construction and expected to open in
the second quarter of 1999.

DEVELOPMENTS

         One of the Company's objectives is to increase its portfolio by
developing new retail properties. The Company's management team has developed
over 100 retail properties nationwide and has significant experience in all
phases of the development process, including site selection, zoning, design,
predevelopment leasing, construction financing and construction management.

         The Company has begun developing value-oriented super-regional malls
while continuing to acquire and develop traditional regional mall and community
shopping center properties. These value-oriented super-regional malls transcend
the typical design and format of the value-oriented mall by combining the
amenities and comforts of a contemporary regional mall with significant
entertainment facilities and diversified tenants.

         The Company, in a joint venture in which the Company has a 30.0%
ownership interest, is currently developing a 1.3 million square-foot
value-oriented fashion and entertainment megamall, located in Elizabeth, New
Jersey ("Jersey Gardens"). Construction of the Mall Property and related
infrastructure is underway, and completion is projected for October of 1999.

         In March 1998, the Company, in a joint venture in which it has a 50.0%
ownership interest, commenced construction of an approximately 700,000
square-foot power Community Center in northern Columbus, Ohio ("Polaris Towne
Center"). Upon completion, Polaris Towne Center will feature grocery and
discount store anchors, restaurants, big box retailers and several specialty
shops. Kroger opened in December 1998 with approximately 64,000 square feet of
GLA. The remainder of the shops are set to open through the fall of 1999.

         In March 1998, the Company announced plans for the development of an
approximately 1.5 million square-foot new super-regional Mall Property in
northern Columbus, Ohio ("Polaris Fashion Place"). Polaris Fashion Place is
expected to be a bi-level mall featuring six anchor tenants, approximately 150
mall stores and 4 restaurants, which will be located across the street from
Polaris Towne Center and is projected to open in 2001.

         In October 1998, the Company announced plans for the development of a
1.0 million square-foot super-regional Mall Property in the Chicago suburb of
Bolingbrook, Illinois. The Company has obtained an option to acquire a 203 acre
parcel as the site of this project which could open in 2001.

          The Company has a contingent contract to acquire the land for a
value-oriented super-regional mall located in Carson, California.

(c)      Narrative Description of Business

         GENERAL The Company concentrates its business on two broad types of
retail properties, Mall Properties and Community Centers. At December 31, 1998,
the Properties consisted of 21 Mall Properties containing an aggregate of 16.9
million square feet of GLA (7.0 million square feet of GLA is owned in joint
ventures) and 104 Community Centers (including 17 single tenant retail
properties) containing an aggregate of 13.4 million square feet of GLA (64,000
square feet of GLA is owned in a joint venture).

         As of December 31, 1998, the occupancy rate for all of the Properties
was 93.8%, of which 89.3%, 4.5% and 6.2% was leased to national retailers,
regional retailers and local retailers, respectively. The Company's focus is to
maintain high occupancy rates for the Properties by capitalizing on management's
long-standing relationships with national and regional tenants and its extensive
experience in marketing to local retailers.

         As of December 31, 1998, the Properties had average annualized minimum
rents of $8.23 per square-foot of GLA. Approximately 83.3%, 5.8% and 10.9% of
the annualized minimum rents of the Properties as of December 31, 1998, was
derived from national retail chains, regional retail chains and local retailers,
respectively. Wal-Mart, Kmart and The Limited, Inc. and its consolidated
entities, represented approximately 6.0%, 4.7% and 4.6%, respectively, of the
aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties as of December 31, 1998; no
other tenant represented more than 3.0% of the aggregate annualized minimum
rents of the Properties for such period.

         MALL PROPERTIES The Mall Properties provide a broad range of shopping
alternatives to serve the needs of customers in all market segments. Each of the
Mall Properties is anchored by two to five department stores including Bon-Ton,
Boscov's, Dillard's, Elder-Beerman, JCPenney, Kohl's, Lazarus, Nordstrom, Meier
& Frank Co., Parisian, Proffitt's and Sears. Mall stores, most of which are
national retailers, include Footlocker, Hallmark, Lerner New York, Limited
Express, Radio Shack, The Disney Store, The Gap, The Limited, Warner Brothers
and Waldenbooks. To provide a complete shopping, dining and entertainment
experience, the Mall Properties generally have at least one theme restaurant, a
food court which offers a variety of fast food alternatives, multiple screen
movie theaters and other entertainment activities. The largest of the Mall
Properties has 1.5 million square feet of GLA and approximately 250 stores and
the smallest has 225,000 square feet of GLA and approximately 40 stores. The
Mall Properties also have additional restaurants and retail businesses such as
Chi-Chi's, Red Lobster and Toys "R" Us located along the perimeter of the
parking areas.

         As of December 31, 1998, the Mall Properties accounted for 55.8% of the
total GLA, 65.1% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties and
had an overall occupancy rate of 91.8%.

         COMMUNITY CENTERS The Company's Community Centers are designed to
attract local and regional area customers and are typically anchored by a
combination of supermarkets, discount department stores or drug stores
("Community Anchors") which attract shoppers to each center's smaller shops. The
tenants at the Company's Community Centers typically offer day-to-day
necessities and value-oriented merchandise. Community Anchors include nationally
recognized retailers such as JCPenney, Kmart, Lowe's, Target and Wal-Mart and
supermarkets such as Big Bear, Kroger and Winn-Dixie. Many of the Community
Centers have retail businesses including Toys "R" Us and OfficeMax or
restaurants including Applebee's, Burger King, Lone Star, McDonald's, and
Wendy's located along the perimeter of the parking areas.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         As of December 31, 1998, the Community Centers accounted for 44.2% of
the total GLA, 34.9% of the aggregate annualized minimum rents of the Properties
and had an overall occupancy rate of 96.3%.

         GROWTH STRATEGIES AND OPERATING POLICIES Management of the Company
believes per share growth in funds from operations ("FFO") is the critical
factor in enhancing shareholder value. The Company's primary business objective
is to achieve growth in FFO by developing and acquiring retail properties, by
improving the operating performance and value of its existing portfolio through
selective expansion and renovation of its Properties and by maintaining high
occupancy rates, increasing minimum rents per square-foot of GLA and
aggressively controlling costs.

         Key elements of the Company's growth strategies and operating policies
are to: (i) increase Property values by aggressively marketing available GLA and
renewing existing leases; (ii) negotiate and sign leases which provide for
regular or periodic fixed contractual increases to minimum rents; (iii)
capitalize on management's long-standing relationships with national and
regional retailers and extensive experience in marketing to local retailers, as
well as exploit the leverage inherent in a larger portfolio of properties in
order to lease available space; (iv) utilize its team management approach to
increase productivity and efficiency; (v) hold Properties for long-term
investment and emphasize regular maintenance, periodic renovation and capital
improvements to preserve and maximize value; (vi) control operating costs by
utilizing Company employees and/or GDC employees to perform management, leasing,
marketing, finance, accounting, construction supervision, legal and data
processing activities; and (vii) renovate, reconfigure or expand Properties and
utilize existing land available for expansion and development of outparcels to
meet the needs of existing or new tenants. Additionally, the Company seeks to
utilize its development capabilities to develop quality Properties at the lowest
possible cost.

         The Company intends to operate in a manner consistent with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
applicable to REITs and related regulations with respect to the composition of
the Company's portfolio and the derivation of income unless, because of
circumstances or changes in the Code (or any related regulation), the trustees
of the Company determine that it is no longer in the best interests of the
Company to qualify as a REIT.

         The Company's acquisition strategies are to selectively acquire
strategically located Properties in regional markets where management generally
has extensive operating experience and/or where it has been able to capitalize
on its strong working relationships with national, regional and local retailers,
to enhance such center's operating performance through a comprehensive program
of leasing, merchandising, reconfiguration, proactive management, renovation and
expansion.

         The following factors, among others, are considered by the Company in
making acquisitions: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the
location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the
current FFO generated by the property and the ability to increase FFO through
property repositioning and proactive management of the tenant base; (iv) the
potential for capital appreciation; (v) the terms of tenant leases; (vi) the
existing tenant mix at the property; (vii) the potential for economic growth and
the tax and regulatory environment of the communities in which the properties
are located; (viii) the occupancy rates and demand by tenants for properties of
similar type in the vicinity; and (ix) the prospects for financing or
refinancing the property.

         The Company acquires and develops its Properties as long-term
investments. Therefore, its focus is to provide for regular maintenance of its
Properties and to conduct periodic renovations and refurbishments to preserve
and increase Property values while also increasing the retail sales prospects of
its tenants. The projects usually include renovating existing facades,
installing uniform signage, updating interior decor, resurfacing parking lots
and increasing parking lot lighting. To meet the needs of existing or new
tenants and changing consumer demands, the Company also reconfigures and expands
its Properties, including utilizing land available for expansion and development
of outparcels for the addition of new anchors. In addition, the Company works
closely with its tenants to renovate their stores and enhance their
merchandising capabilities.

         FINANCING STRATEGIES At December 31, 1998, the Company had a
debt-to-total-market-capitalization ratio of 61.0%, based upon the closing price
of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange as of December 31, 1998. The
Company expects that it may from time to time reevaluate its policy with respect
to its ratio of total-debt-to-total market-capitalization in light of then
current economic conditions; relative costs of debt and equity capital; market
values of its Properties; acquisition, development and expansion opportunities;
and other factors, including 

                                       8

meeting the taxable income distribution requirement for REITs under the Code in
the event the Company has taxable income without receipt of cash sufficient to
enable the Company to meet such distribution requirements.

         On November 17, 1997, the Company completed a public offering of
5,118,000 Series B Preferred Shares (including 318,000 Series B Preferred Shares
sold as a result of the underwriters exercising the over-allotment option
granted to them). The net proceeds of approximately $123.1 million were
contributed by the Company to the Operating Partnership and were used to: (i)
repay the balance of a $34.4 million bridge loan facility and (ii) repay a
portion of the outstanding borrowings on the Operating Partnership's credit
facility.

         On October 6, 1997, the Company completed a second offering of
1,750,000 Shares and used the net proceeds of approximately $37.8 million to
acquire additional units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership then used the proceeds obtained in exchange for the
GRT units to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings on its credit
facility.

         CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS The Company's headquarters are located at 20
South Third Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, and its telephone number is (614)
621-9000. In addition, the Company maintains management offices at each of its
Mall Properties.

         COMPETITION All of the Properties are located in areas which have
shopping centers and other retail facilities. Generally, there are other retail
properties within a five-mile radius of a Property. The amount of rentable
retail space in the vicinity of the Company's Properties could have a material
adverse effect on the amount of rent charged by the Company and on the Company's
ability to rent vacant space and/or renew leases of such Properties. There are
numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and major retailers that
compete with the Company in seeking land for development, properties for
acquisition and tenants for properties, some of which may have greater financial
resources than the Company and more operating or development experience than
that of the Company. There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with
the Company's Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition,
retailers at the Properties may face increasing competition from the Internet,
outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, catalog companies, direct mail and
telemarketing.

         EMPLOYEES At December 31, 1998, the Company, GDC and the ventures in
which the Company has an interest, had an aggregate of 541 employees, of which
154 were part-time.

         REAL ESTATE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS As an owner and developer of real
estate, the Company is subject to risks arising in connection with such
activities and with the underlying real estate, including unknown deficiencies
of and the inability to manage recently acquired Properties, poor economic
conditions in those areas where Properties are located, joint venture
bankruptcies, unanticipated conflicts of interest between the Company and joint
venturers, failure to obtain consents of joint venturers with respect to sale,
refinancing and other activities, the joint venturers removing the Company as
managing agent or managing member with respect to a Property, buy-sell
arrangements with joint venturers exercised at inopportune times, defaults under
or non-renewal of tenant leases, tenant bankruptcies, competition, liquidity of
real estate, inability to rent unleased space, failure to generate sufficient
income to meet operating expenses, including debt service, capital expenditures
and tenant improvements, balloon payments on debt, environmental matters,
financing availability, defaults under and failure to repay borrowings,
fluctuations in interest rates, changes in real estate and zoning laws, cost
overruns, delays, unavailability of satisfactory financing and other risks of
development activities. The success of the Company also depends upon certain key
personnel, its ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT and trends in the
national and local economy, including income tax laws, governmental regulations
and legislation and population trends.

         TAX STATUS The Company intends to continue to be taxed as a REIT under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As such, the Company generally will not be
subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 95.0% of its
REIT taxable income to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a
REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to Federal income tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. As a qualified REIT, the Company is subject to certain
state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and
excise taxes on its undistributed income.

    (1)  Includes outparcels

    (2) This is a ground lease. The Company owns the land and not the building.

    (3) The Company ground leases the land for this Community Center. 

    (4) Lease expiration dates do not consider options to renew.

    (5) Bi-Lo vacated the store on October 31, 1998, but continues to pay rent
        through lease expiration 08/31/03. 

    (6) Wal-Mart vacated the store on September 30, 1995, but continues to pay
        rent through lease expiration 9/30/03.

    (7) The Operating Partnership has an investment in this Community Center of
        50.0%. The Company as the venture's managing general partner, and GDC
        are responsible for management and leasing services, respectively, and
        receive fees for providing these services.

         Eight of the Community Centers are subject to long-term ground leases
where a third party owns the underlying land and has leased the land to the
Company. The expiration dates of the ground leases (assuming the exercise by the
Company of all of its options to extend the terms of such leases) range from May
2038 to April 2082. The Company pays rent, ranging from $1,500 to $60,000 per
annum, for the use of the land and generally is responsible for the costs and
expenses associated with maintaining the building and improvements thereto. In
addition, some of the ground leases provide for sharing of the percentage rents
collected, if any. At the end of the lease term, unless extended, the land,
together with all improvements thereon, will revert to the land owner without
compensation to the lessee.

(d)      Properties Subject to Indebtedness

         To finance the acquisition and development of the Properties, the
Company has entered into mortgage loans and a credit facility which are
described below.

THE NOMURA LOAN ($181.0 MILLION)

         The Nomura loan was originated by Nomura and is evidenced by four notes
(collectively, the "Notes" and individually, a "Note"): (i) two notes, each in
the principal amount of $40.0 million, one of which bears interest at the rate
of 6.995% per annum and matures on February 1, 1999, and the other of which
bears interest at the rate of 7.505% per annum and that was scheduled to mature
on February 1, 2003; (ii) a note in the principal amount of $76.0 million which
bears interest at the rate of 7.625% per annum and matures on August 1, 2000;
and (iii) a note in the principal amount of $25.0 million which bears interest
at the rate of 6.935% per annum and matures on October 1, 2000. Each of the
Notes provides for monthly payments of interest only with the principal amount
due on maturity. The borrowers under the Nomura loan are Holdings, Centers and
GCLP (collectively, the "Borrowers").

                                       19


<PAGE>   20

         Each Note prohibits prepayment (other than upon casualty or
condemnation), except that the $40.0 million Note executed by Holdings which was
scheduled to mature on February 1, 1999 may be prepaid during the last six
months of its term and the other three Notes may be prepaid during the last 12
months of their respective terms. The $40.0 million note was prepaid, in full,
without penalty on January 28, 1999 in conjunction with the refinancing of Grand
Central Mall. Upon payment of the $40.0 million note, Grand Central Mall was
released from the loan collateral and GCLP was released as Borrower.

         The Nomura loan is a non-recourse loan. Payment of principal and
interest on the Nomura loan is secured by first mortgage liens on 55 Properties,
26 of which are owned by Holdings and 29 of which are owned by Centers (the
"Nomura Properties"), and a pledge of the partnership interests in each of the
Borrowers, which interests are held by an affiliate of GRT. These mortgages are
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted.

         The Nomura loan contains customary representations, covenants and
events of default. In addition, it requires that (i) the Borrowers comply with
certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants restricting the
incurrence of additional indebtedness on the Nomura Properties; (ii) each
Borrower establish and maintain certain reserve funds; and (iii) the general
partner of each Borrower have an independent director whose vote will be
required for certain specified actions, including the making of any bankruptcy
filing by the respective Borrower. Neither GRT nor the Operating Partnership is
a party to, and neither has guaranteed any amount in respect of, the Nomura
loan, other than certain limited indemnification obligations primarily relating
to potential environmental liabilities and the pledge of partnership interests
as described above.

         The Nomura loan also provides that the Nomura Properties will be
managed by the Company or a third party selected by the Company, provided that
the Company, or any other party then managing such property, may be removed as
manager of such properties if an event of default occurs under such loan or if
the ratio of the sum of (i) the net operating income of the Nomura Properties
during the preceding 12 calendar months and (ii) all interest earned during such
period on U.S. government obligations delivered to Nomura as substituted
collateral for the Nomura Properties released (as described in the paragraph
above), decreases below an amount equal to 75.0% of the net operating income for
the Nomura Properties determined as of September 30, 1993, (approximately $23.8
million) for three consecutive months.

THE CIGNA LOAN ($50.0 MILLION)

         The CIGNA loan is secured by first mortgage liens on 10 Properties,
bears interest at a rate equal to 7.470% per annum and is payable, interest
only, until maturity on October 26, 2002. These mortgages are
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. On January 1, 1998, CIGNA sold this
loan to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company.

THE CREDIT FACILITY ($190.0 MILLION)

         In May 1997, the Company amended its credit facility to (i) increase
the amount the Company can borrow thereunder to $190.0 million, (ii) extend the
term of the credit facility, to July 31, 1998, which term could be extended to
July 31, 1999 (iii) reduce the interest rate schedule, and (iv) grant first
mortgage liens on 11 Properties. On April 29, 1998, the Company extended the
term of the credit facility to July 31, 1999. Borrowings under the credit
facility currently bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 170 basis points
per annum (6.8125% at December 31, 1998). Payments due under the credit facility
are guaranteed by GRT and by GPC. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of approximately $163.0 million under the credit
facility.

         The credit facility, as amended, contains customary covenants,
representations, warranties and events of default, including maintenance of a
specified minimum net worth requirement, loan to value ratios, project costs to
asset value ratios, total debt to asset value ratios and EBITDA to total debt
service, restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and approval
of anchor leases with respect to the Properties which secure the credit
facility.

THE UNIVERSITY MALL LOAN ($71.4 MILLION)

         The University Mall loan was originated by Nomura and is secured by a
first mortgage lien on University Mall. The loan consists of (i) a note in the
principal amount of $64.9 million with interest at a rate of approximately 8.23%
per annum and maturing in January 2028 with a prepayment option in January 2013
and (ii) a buy up payment from Nomura of $6.5 million which reduces the
effective interest rate to 7.09% per annum.

THE COMMUNITY CENTER LOANS ($101.9 MILLION)

         The Community Center loans are secured by first mortgage liens on 15
Properties. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 7.375% to 9.125% per
annum, require payments of principal and interest and mature between June 1999
and April 2016.

THE BRIDGE LOANS ($89.0 MILLION)

         The bridge loans are secured by first mortgage liens on 15 Properties
and second mortgage liens on two Properties. The bridge loans bear interest at
interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 160 to 575 basis points per annum (7.147%
to 11.375% at December 31, 1998), require payments of interest only and mature
between February 1999 and July 1999. A $15.0 million bridge loan on Montgomery
Mall was paid off at maturity on February 1, 1999 and a one-time principal
payment of $1.0 million on Weberstown Mall was due and paid on January 13, 1999.

THE NORTHTOWN MALL LOAN ($40.0 MILLION)

         The Northtown Mall loan was originated by Nomura and is secured by a
first mortgage lien on Northtown Mall. The loan bears interest at a rate equal
to LIBOR, which is fixed at 5.662% per annum during the loan term pursuant to an
existing interest rate swap agreement, plus 125 basis points per annum (6.912%
at December 31, 1998) and is payable interest only until maturity on August 30,

(1)  Management considers funds from operations (FFO) to be a supplemental
     measure of the Company's operating performance. FFO, as modified in January
     1996 by NAREIT is defined as net income (computed in accordance with
     Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")), less gains or losses
     from debt restructuring, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and
     plus minority interest in partnership. FFO does not represent cash
     generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not
     necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not
     be considered as an alternative to net income, as the primary indicator of
     the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a
     measure of liquidity.
(2)  Number of Properties open at the end of the period including three
     Properties at December 31, 1997, leased or managed by the Company, in which
     the Company did not hold an ownership interest. Occupancy of the Properties
     is defined as any space where a tenant is open and/or paying rent at the
     date indicated, excluding all tenants with leases having an initial term of
     less than one year.
(3)  1998 includes 7.1 million square feet of GLA, 1997 includes 3.4 million
     square feet of GLA and 1996 includes 549,000 square feet of GLA, owned
     by joint ventures in which the Operating Partnership has interests
     ranging from 20.0% to 50.0%.
(4)  1997 includes 2.5 million square feet of GLA leased or managed by the
     Company in which the Company did not hold an ownership interest.

compared to 1.6% of tenant revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Depreciation and amortization

         The $8.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization consists
primarily of an increase of $5.9 million from Mall Property acquisitions, an
increase of $1.5 million in the core portfolio Properties and an $800,000
increase in corporate expense, offset with a decrease of $200,000 from
dispositions.

5.4% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $8.3
million and 5.9% of total revenues for the corresponding period in 1997. The
increase in expense is primarily due to an increase in the number of corporate
associates as a result of the Company's growth during 1998.

Properties, offset by a decrease of $2.0 million from the RPI Properties
incentive management fee in 1996.

has a maturity date of April 13, 1999. The $15.0 million note payable was
paid-off at maturity.

         Management anticipates that the funds available under its credit
facility, its construction financing, long-term mortgage debt, venture structure
for acquisitions and developments, the issuance of preferred and common stock
and the proceeds from the sale of assets will provide sufficient capital
resources to carry out the Company's business strategy relative to the
renovations, expansions and developments discussed herein. Based upon its
current debt-to-market capitalization, the Company does not expect to pursue
significant additional acquisitions until such time as the Company has access to
additional equity capital.

         At December 31, 1998, the Company's debt-to-total-market capitalization
was 61.0%, as a result of a lower equity price for the Company's Shares and an
increase in outstanding debt. The Company's intent is to maintain this ratio
between approximately 40.0% and 60.0% and the Company is working toward reducing
this ratio below 60.0% in 1999.

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, was $76.8 million versus $56.4 million for the corresponding
period of 1997. Net income adjusted for non-cash items accounted for a $20.3
million increase, while changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted
for a $75,000 increase.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, was $409.0 million, and reflects additional direct
investments in real estate assets, including the acquisition of Northtown Mall
for approximately $54.0 million, Montgomery Mall for $70.0 million and Lloyd
Center for $168.0 million and additional indirect investments in real estate
through investments in unconsolidated entities of $75.6 million.

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, was $333.7 million. Cash was provided by net additional
borrowings under the credit facility of $73.0 million and issuance of mortgage
and notes payable of $390.0 million. Cash was used to fund distributions of
$67.3 million and principal payments on mortgage and notes payable of $62.4
million.

and is projected to open in 2001.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         Management considers FFO to be a supplemental measure of the Company's
operating performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income, as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance, or
as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The following table
illustrates the calculation of FFO for the years ending December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

         FFO increased 15.9%, or $8.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1998. The increase was the result of improved property net operating income of
$28.7 million and an increase in the FFO from unconsolidated entities of $4.2
million, partially offset by increased interest expense of $6.7 million, and an
increase in preferred stock dividends of $15.4 million.

         FFO increased 8.8%, or $4.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1997. The increase was the result of improved property net operating income of
$20.1 million and an increase in the FFO from unconsolidated entities of $2.6
million, partially offset by increased interest expense of $12.8 million and an
increase in preferred stock dividends of $4.4 million.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS
No. 131

                                       33
<PAGE>   34


establishes standards for publicly-held business enterprises to report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. The Company has adopted SFAS
No. 131 in its 1998 annual report on Form 10-K.

         In July 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 is effective for financial statements for fiscal quarter of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No.
133 effective January 1, 2000. SFAS No. 133 standardizes the accounting for
derivative instruments by requiring that all entities recognize them as assets
and liabilities in the balance sheet and subsequently measure them at fair
market value. It also prescribes specific accounting principles to be applied to
hedging activities and hedging transactions which are significantly different
from prior accounting principles. The Company has not yet determined the impact
of SFAS No. 133.

         The Company recognizes that Year 2000 issues may have an impact on its
business, operations and financial condition. The Company has completed an
assessment of its Year 2000 readiness with respect to all of its information
technology ("IT") systems and the reliability and condition of its non-IT
systems. The Company has obtained status updates regarding Year 2000 issues on
these systems either via contacting the manufacturers and vendors, or by
acquiring the necessary information from their websites.

         The Company's IT systems generally consist of file servers, operating
systems, application programs and workstations that utilize purchased systems.
The Company has evaluated the Year 2000 compliance status of each vendor and
believes that its existing systems and planned upgrades, to be completed by
second quarter 1999, will be Year 2000 compliant. Implementation of planned
upgrades will not result in significant additional cost to the Company. The
Company does not have any mainframe/midrange computer codes to verify. The data
generated using off-the-shelf packages is being analyzed and fixed to use the
proper date format.

         All of the Company's servers and workstations use Intel based
processors and the Company has used third party applications to verify these
systems. Planned upgrades and new purchases have eliminated several
non-compliant systems. The Company plans to phase-out the remaining older
computers during the second quarter 1999. The majority of the remaining issues
will be resolved via a planned upgrade to Windows 2000 and MS Office 2000 later
this year. The Company is currently negotiating with IT firms to verify its
tests and validate its correction and testing methods.

         The costs incurred by the Company at the present time have been
internal costs only. The Company expects to spend no more than $30,000 for
outside consultants to give additional assurance on its IT systems. The source
of these funds will be from operations. The significant risks to the Company in
the event that Year 2000 issues are not identified and corrected include the
possibility that IT system problems could cause delays or errors in processing
financial and operation information. The Year 2000 issue has not affected any of
the Company's IT system decisions. At the present time the Company has planned
upgrades in progress that will not be delayed or accelerated due to Year 2000
issues.

         The Company's contingency plan recognizes that the biggest exposures
are non-IT systems which may result in Year 2000 issues. These exposures are
facility related and encompass areas such as HVAC systems, elevators, security,
lighting, telecommunications, electrical, plumbing, fire and sprinkler controls,
as well as our reliance on outside contractors for services such as security,
janitorial and exterior maintenance. At the present time, the Company has not
identified any instances where Year 2000 issues will require material costs to
repair or replace any of these systems. If failure does incur in any of these
provided services as a result of Year 2000 issues, the Company is prepared to
correct the problem with manual labor, either hired or internally which could
cause a short term limitation in the efficiency of the Company's Properties
operations.

         While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address
its Year 2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems and operations rely will be converted
on a timely basis and will not have a material effect on the Company.

OTHER

         The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the
fourth quarter during the holiday season when tenant occupancy and retail sales
are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve most
of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of the
above, earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

         The retail industry has experienced some difficulty, which is reflected
in sales trends and in the bankruptcies and continued restructuring of several
prominent retail organizations. Continuation of these trends could impact future
earnings performance.

INFLATION

         Inflation has remained relatively low during the past three years and
has had a minimal impact on the Company's Properties. Many tenants' leases
contain provisions designed to lessen the impact of inflation. Such provisions
include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.
In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may
enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base
and/or percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the
then-existing market rate. Substantially all of the leases, other than those for
anchors, require the tenants to pay a proportionate share of common area
maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's
exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

         Inflation may however, have a negative impact on some of the Company's
other operating items. Interest expense and general and administrative expenses
may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could increase
at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent increases,
inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in these
leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The following table presents descriptions of the financial instruments
and derivative instruments that are held by the Company at December 31, 1998,
and which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Company enters into
derivative financial instrument transactions in order to manage or reduce market
risk. Under interest-rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to
exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating
rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal
amount. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument
transactions for speculative purposes.

         For the liabilities, the table represents principal calendar year cash
flows that exist by maturity date and the related average interest rate. For the
interest rate derivatives, the table presents the notional amounts and expected
interest rates that exist by contractual dates. The notional amount is used to
calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. The
variable rates are estimated based upon the 30-day forward LIBOR rate which at
December 31, 1998 was 5.113%.

         In August 1998, the Company entered into a three-year interest-rate
swap agreement which fixed LIBOR at 5.662% per annum on a notional amount of
$40,000. In September 1998, the Company also entered into a three-year interest
rate protection agreement on $130,000 of borrowings in which the obligor agreed
to reimburse the Company as a result of an increase in LIBOR above 7.750% per
annum. Both of these agreements have been reflected in the table below.

                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS






To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Glimcher Realty Trust


         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
index appearing under Item 14 (a) (1) present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Glimcher Realty Trust and its subsidiaries at December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 14 (a)
(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                              GLIMCHER REALTY TRUST

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

         Glimcher Realty Trust (the "Company" or "GRT") is a fully-integrated,
self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust
("REIT"), which owns, leases, manages and develops a portfolio of retail
properties (the "Property" or "Properties") consisting of regional malls ("Mall
Properties") and community shopping centers (including single tenant retail
properties) ("Community Centers"). At December 31, 1998, the Company, managed
and leased a total of 125 Properties, 116 of which were wholly owned and nine of
which were partially owned in ventures, consisting of 21 Mall Properties and 104
Community Centers. Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") also holds substantially all of the economic interest in Glimcher
Development Corporation ("GDC"), a non-qualified REIT subsidiary which provides
development, construction, leasing and legal services to the Company, ventures
in which the Company has an ownership interest and to third parties.

Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of GRT, the Operating Partnership (88.9% owned by GRT at December 31, 1998 and
90.1% at December 31, 1997), six Delaware limited partnerships (Glimcher
Holdings Limited Partnership, Glimcher Centers Limited Partnership, Grand
Central Limited Partnership, Glimcher York Associates Limited Partnership,
Glimcher University Mall Limited Partnership and Montgomery Mall Associates
Limited Partnership), three Delaware limited liability companies, (Glimcher
Northtown Venture, LLC, Weberstown Mall, LLC, and Glimcher Lloyd Venture, LLC)
and one Ohio limited partnership (Morgantown Mall Associates Limited
Partnership), all of which are owned directly or indirectly by GRT. The
Operating Partnership has an investment in several joint ventures and one other
corporation which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant
inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. For example, estimates are used to establish common area
maintenance, real estate tax and insurance tenant accounts receivable,
percentage rents and accounts receivable reserves. The Company bases its
estimates on historical sales performance of tenants, changes in Property
occupancy, mix of tenants and industry trends of tenant credit risk. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment in Real Estate

         Real estate assets including acquired assets, are stated at cost. Costs
incurred for the development, construction and improvement of Properties are
capitalized, including direct costs incurred by GRT for these activities.
Interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction periods are
capitalized and amortized on the same basis as the related assets.


                                       49
<PAGE>   50

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

         Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method and
estimated useful lives for building and improvements of 40 years and equipment
and fixtures of five to 10 years. Expenditures for leasehold improvements and
construction allowances paid to tenants are capitalized and amortized over the
remaining life of the initial terms of each lease. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense when incurred.

         Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in real
estate assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets To Be Disposed Of. " This statement requires that long-lived assets be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that full asset recoverability is questionable. Management's assessment of
recoverability of its real estate assets under this statement includes, but is
not limited to, recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow and
management's plans for future operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid
investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Cash in Escrow

         Cash in escrow consists primarily of cash held for real estate taxes,
insurance and Property reserves for maintenance and expansion or leasehold
improvements as required by certain of the loan agreements.

Deferred Expenses

         Deferred expenses consist principally of financing fees, leasing
commissions paid to third parties and direct costs related to leasing
activities. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of
the respective agreements. Deferred expenses in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets are shown net of accumulated amortization of $11,927 and $12,187
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

         Gains and losses related to interest rate swaps, caps, collars and
floors are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the
agreement. Any premiums paid are recorded as assets and amortized over the life
of the underlying derivative agreement.

Revenue Recognition

         Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the
related leases which approximate a straight-line basis. Percentage rents are
recognized on an accrual basis. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance and
other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the
period the applicable costs are accrued.

         An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against the
portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible.
Tenant accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets are shown net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,995, $5,030 and $4,463 as of December
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Advertising Costs

         The Company promotes its Properties on behalf of its tenants through
various media. The majority of the advertising expenses incurred are recovered
from the tenants through lease obligations. Net advertising expense was $79,
$269 and $308 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,

Income Taxes

         GRT files as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code"). In order to qualify as a REIT, GRT is required to distribute at
least 95.0% of its taxable income to shareholders and to meet certain asset and
income tests as well as certain other requirements. GRT will generally not be
liable for federal income taxes, provided it satisfies the necessary
distribution requirements. Even as a qualified REIT, the Company is subject to
certain state and local taxes on its income and property.

         The Company has an equity investment in GDC, which is a non-qualified
REIT subsidiary under Section 856 (I) of the Code. For federal income tax
purposes, GDC is treated as a separate entity and taxed as a regular
C-Corporation.

4.       NOTES PAYABLE

         In May 1997, the Company amended its revolving line of credit (the
"Credit Facility") to (i) increase the amount the Company can borrow thereunder
to $190,000, (ii) extend the term of the Credit Facility to July 31, 1998, which
term could be extended to July 31, 1999, (iii) reduce the interest rate
schedule, and (iv) grant first mortgage liens on 11 Properties. On April 29,
1998, the Company extended the term of the Credit Facility to July 31, 1999.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility currently bear interest at a rate equal to
LIBOR plus 170 basis points per annum (6.8125% at December 31, 1998 and 7.4375%
at December 31, 1997). Payments due under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by
GRT and by Glimcher Properties Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. During 1998 and 1997, the weighted average interest rate was 7.241% and
7.465%, respectively.

         The Credit Facility, as amended, contains customary covenants,
representations, warranties and events of default, including maintenance of a
specified minimum net worth requirement, loan to value ratios, project costs to
asset value ratios, total debt to asset value ratios and EBITDA to total debt
service, restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and approval
of anchor leases with respect to the Properties which secure the Credit
Facility.


         At December 31, 1998, the balance outstanding on the Credit Facility
was $163,000. In addition, $1,725 represents a holdback on the available balance
of the Credit Facility for letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 1998, the unused balance of the Credit Facility available to
the Company was $25,275.

5.       SERIES A-1, B, D AND E PREFERRED SHARES

         The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Company to issue up
to an aggregate 100,000,000 shares of the Company, consisting of common shares
or one or more series of preferred shares of beneficial interest.

         On November 27, 1996, the Company sold 34,000 of its Series A
convertible preferred shares. On November 7, 1997, the Series A preferred shares
were exchanged for Series A-1 preferred shares (the "A-1 Preferred Shares")
having substantially the same terms. Distributions on the A-1 Preferred Shares
are paid quarterly based upon 90-day LIBOR plus a spread based on leverage
(10.163% at December 31, 1998 and 8.631% at December 31, 1997). The Company may
redeem the A-1 Preferred Shares at any time, prior to conversion, at its option
without any penalty or premiums. Beginning in November 2001, the A-1 Preferred
Shares are convertible into the number of shares obtained by dividing the
liquidation preference by the conversion price per share. The conversion price
per share is the product of (i) the average market price per share over the 30
trading days prior to the conversion, multiplied by (ii) the applicable
conversion percentage which begins at 90.0% and decreases annually 5.0%, 5.0%
and 10.0% to 70.0%.

         On December 5, 1997, the Company sold 56,000 shares of its Series C
convertible preferred shares. On June 4, 1998, the Series C convertible
preferred shares were converted to Series D convertible preferred shares (the "D
Preferred Shares") having substantially the same terms. Terms of the D Preferred
Shares are substantially the same as the A-1 Preferred Shares except that the
holder can redeem the shares beginning in December 2002.

         On November 17, 1997, the Company completed a $120,000 public offering
of 4,800,000 shares of 9 1/4% Series B cumulative preferred shares of
beneficial interest (the "B Preferred Shares"). On November 25, 1997, the
Company sold an additional 318,000 B Preferred Shares as a result of the
underwriters exercising the over-allotment option granted to them. Aggregate net
proceeds of the offering were $123,072. Distributions on the B Preferred Shares
are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company generally may redeem the B
Preferred Shares anytime on or after November 15, 2002, at a redemption price of
$25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid distributions.

                                       53
<PAGE>   54

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

         The redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of
accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of
other capital shares of the Company, which may include other series of preferred
shares. The Company contributed the proceeds to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for preferred units. The Operating Partnership pays a preferred
distribution to the Company equal to the dividends paid on the B Preferred
Shares.

         On March 9, 1999, the Board of Trustees adopted a Preferred Share
Purchase Plan (the"Plan") pursuant to which a distribution will be made of one
preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding common share.
The distribution is payable on March 22, 1999 to the shareholders of record at
the close of business on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to
purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a Series E Junior Participating
Preferred Share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred
Shares"), at a price of $55.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the
"Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The Rights will become exercisable in
the event that any person or group acquires or announces its intention to
acquire, beneficial ownership of 15.0% or more of the outstanding common shares
of the Company (an "Acquiring Person"). Alternatively each Right holder, except
the Acquiring Person, will have the right to receive upon exercise that number
of common shares having a market value of two times the Purchase Price of the
Right. At any time before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the
Board of Trustees may redeem the Rights at a price of $0.01 per Right at which
time the right to exercise the Rights will terminate. At any time after a person
or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Trustees may exchange the
Rights at an exchange ratio of one common share or one Preferred Share per
Right. The Plan expires on March 9, 2009.

6.       DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest
rate risks associated with long-term, floating rate debt. In August 1998, the
Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement which fixed LIBOR
at 5.662% per annum on a notional amount of $40,000. In September 1998, the
Company also entered into a three-year interest rate protection agreement on
$130,000 of borrowings in which the obligor agreed to reimburse the Company as a
result of an increase in LIBOR above 7.750% per annum. The Company is exposed to
credit loss in the event of non-performance by the obligors. However, the
Company does not anticipate non-performance by the obligors.

7.       RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

         GRT receives rental income from the leasing of retail shopping center
space under operating leases with expiration dates through the year 2025. The
minimum future base rentals under non-cancelable operating leases as of December
31, 1998 are as follows:

         Minimum future base rentals do not include amounts which may be
received from certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales or as
reimbursement of operating expenses. Minimum rents contain straight-line
adjustments for rental revenue increases which aggregated $2,115, $1,324 and
$1,747 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         In 1998 and 1997, no tenant collectively accounted for more than 10.0%
of rental income. In 1996, Kmart represented approximately 10.0% of rental
income. The tenant base includes national, regional and local retailers, and
consequently the credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.

9.       TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

         On October 16, 1996, the Company formed GDC, an unconsolidated
non-qualified REIT subsidiary which is owned by the Operating Partnership,
Herbert Glimcher and Michael P. Glimcher. The Operating Partnership holds 95.0%
of the ownership interest; the Glimchers hold 100.0% of the voting interest and
5.0% of the ownership interest. GDC provides services for a fee, to the Company,
to ventures in which the Company has an ownership interest and to third parties.
In 1998 and 1997, GDC recognized fee income of $8,893 and $1,293, respectively,
for services provided to these ventures.

         The Company reimbursed The Glimcher Company ("TGC") and Corporate
Flight, Inc. ("CFI") $2 and $36 in 1998 and $11 and $179 in 1997, respectively,
for the use, in connection with Company related matters, of a bus owned by TGC
and an airplane owned by CFI; GDC reimbursed the same two companies $5 and $688
in 1998 and $25 and $895 in 1997, respectively. In 1996, the Company purchased a
parcel of land from TGC for $215 and reimbursed TGC and CFI $20 and $59,
respectively.

         Effective January 1994, the Company engaged Archer-Meek-Weiler Agency,
Inc. ("AMW"), an agency in which Alan R. Weiler (a Trustee of GRT) is president,
to provide property and employee practices liability insurance services to the
Company. Total commissions received by AMW during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
approximately $179, $137 and $128, respectively.

         Certain of the properties also have tenants in which officers of GRT
hold a financial interest. Annual base minimum rents and tenant accounts
receivable from these tenants are as follows:

11.      SHARE OPTION PLANS

         GRT has established the Employee Share Option Plan (the "Employee
Plan"), the Trustee Share Option Plan (the "Trustee Plan") and the 1997
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") for the purpose of attracting and
retaining the Company's trustees, executive and other employees. A maximum of
400,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the Employee Plan, a
maximum of 700,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the Trustee Plan
and a maximum of 3,000,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the
Incentive Plan.

         The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized related to options granted under the
plans. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair
value at the grant dates for grants under these plans consistent with SFAS No.

decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

12.      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN - 401(k) PLAN

         In January 1996, the Company established a qualified retirement savings
plan under IRC 401(k) for eligible employees which contains a cash or deferred
arrangement which permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 15.0% of
their compensation, subject to certain limitations. Participant's salary
deferrals up to a maximum of 4.0% of qualified compensation will be matched at
50.0%. The Company matching will be in the form of GRT shares. The Company
contributed $127, $109 and $89 to the plan in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

13.       DISTRIBUTIONS

         For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately
54.8%, 30.6% and 31.0%, respectively, of the distributions received by common
shareholders were considered to be a return of capital for tax purposes. Also,
0.68% of each quarterly distribution declared in 1996 was designated and
considered to be long-term capital gain for tax purposes.

14.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share ("EPS") and replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS, as summarized in the table below:

</TABLE>

The Series A-1 and Series D Preferred Shares include certain conversion features
that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, but were not included in
the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive
(based on period end share prices) for the periods presented.

15.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrow,
tenant accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable
estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial
instruments. The carrying value of the Credit Facility is also a reasonable
estimate of its fair value because it bears variable rate interest at current
market rates. Based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates
currently available to GRT for similar liabilities (ranging from 6.00% to 11.38%
per annum at December 31, 1998 and 6.82% to 8.88% per annum at December 31,
1997), the fair value of GRT's mortgage notes payable is estimated at $833,487
and $500,470 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of the
debt instruments identified with GRT considers in part the credit of GRT as an
entity, and not just the individual entities and properties owned by GRT.

         The fair value of interest rate protection agreements are estimated
based on quotes from the market makers of these instruments and represent the
estimated amounts that GRT would expect to receive or pay to terminate such
agreements. All derivatives have no carrying value. Because the Company hedges
only with instruments that have high correlations with the underlying
transaction, changes in derivatives fair value are expected to be offset by
changes in pricing. At December 31, 1998, the total notional amounts hedged were
$170,000 with fair values totaling ($572).

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for publicly-held business enterprises to report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders, as summarized in the table

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter "MAKER"), having its principal place
of business at 20 South Third Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, promises to pay to
the order of Nomura Asset Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
(hereinafter, "Payee") at its principal place of business at Two World Financial
Center, Building B, New York, New York 10281, or at such place as the holder
hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of FIFTY
MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000,000), in lawful money of the United States
of America, with interest thereon to be computed on the unpaid principal balance
from time to time outstanding at the Applicable Interest Rate (as hereinafter
defined), and to be paid in installments as follows:

         A.       One installment of interest, in advance, on the date hereof,
                  for the period commencing on (and including) the date hereof
                  and ending on (and including) June 10, 1998.

         B.       On July 11, 1998 and each Debt Service Payment Date
                  thereafter, payments of interest on the outstanding principal
                  balance of this Note from time to time outstanding computed at
                  the Interest Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement (as
                  hereinafter defined)).

and the balance of said principal sum together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall be due and payable on a date (the "MATURITY DATE") which
is July 30, 1999. Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty
(360) day year. All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without setoff,
counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever and are payable without relief
from valuation and appraisement laws and with all expenses, costs and charges
incurred in collection or enforcement hereof, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and court costs.

                  1. This Note is evidence of that certain mortgage loan made by
Payee to Maker contemporaneously herewith (the "LOAN") and is executed pursuant
to the terms and conditions of that certain Loan Agreement executed the date
hereof, between Maker and Payee (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"). This Note is secured by,
among other things: (a) those certain (x) Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases
and Rents and Security Agreements, (y) Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents
and Security Agreements and (z) Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Leases and
Rents and Security Agreements ((x), (y) and (z), each a "MORTGAGE"), each dated
as of the date hereof, given by Maker, as mortgagor, for the use and benefit of
Payee, as mortgagee, each encumbering the fee estate of Maker in certain
property more particularly described in each such Mortgage, 


<PAGE>   2

(b) those certain Assignments of Leases and Rents dated as of the date hereof,
executed by Maker in favor of Payee (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES"), and (c) the
other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Reference is made to
each Mortgage, each Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents for a
description of the nature and extent of the security afforded thereby, the
rights of the holder hereof in respect of such security, the terms and
conditions upon which this Note is secured and the rights and duties of the
holder of this Note. The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of each
Mortgage, each Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents and may enforce
the agreements contained therein and exercise the remedies provided therein or
otherwise in respect thereof, all in accordance with the terms thereof. Except
for the provisions and limitations set forth in Paragraph 9 of this Note, no
reference herein to any Mortgage, any Assignment of Leases or other Loan
Documents and no other provision of this Note or of any Mortgage, any Assignment
of Leases or any other Loan Documents shall alter or impair the obligation of
Maker, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest
on this Note at the time and place and at the rates and in the monies and funds
described herein. All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and
stipulations contained in each Mortgage, each Assignment of Leases and the other
Loan Documents which are to be kept and performed by Maker are by this reference
hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and
effect as if they were fully set forth in this Note, and Maker covenants and
agrees to keep and perform the same, or cause the same to be kept and performed,
in accordance with their terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

                  2. If any sum payable under this Note is not paid on the date
on which it is due, Maker shall pay to Payee upon demand an amount equal to the
lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law in order to defray a portion of the expenses incurred by Payee
in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Payee for
the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. If the day when any payment
required under this Note is due is not a Business Day, then payment shall be due
on the first Business Day thereafter. The term "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean a day
other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) any day on which national banks in
New York, New York are not open for business.

                  3. The whole of the principal sum of this Note, together with
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (all such sums hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "DEBT"), or any portion thereof, shall without notice become
immediately due and payable at the option of Payee if any payment required in
this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due or upon the happening of
any other Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In the event that
it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect or enforce the Debt or
to protect or foreclose the security therefor, Maker also shall pay on demand
all costs of collection incurred by Payee, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, and costs reasonably incurred for the services of counsel
whether or not suit be brought.

                  4. Maker does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Payee shall be entitled to receive and Maker shall pay to
Payee (a) interest on the 

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

entire unpaid principal sum of this Note and any other amounts (including
interest to the extent permitted by applicable law) due at the Default Rate (as
defined in the Loan Agreement), and (b) on the eleventh day of each month during
which such Event of Default shall continue, an aggregate amount equal to the
Mortgaged Property Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the prior
month (less any payments made to Payee pursuant to clause (a) above from the
Mortgaged Property Cash Flow for the prior month and not including any Security
Deposits to the extent any Tenant may have any right to the return of such
Security Deposit), such Mortgaged Property Cash Flow to be applied by Payee to
the payment of the Debt in such order as Payee shall determine in its sole
discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof
between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed
from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and
collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). Interest at
the Default Rate, to the extent not paid, shall be added to the Debt and shall
be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph, however, shall not be construed as
an agreement or privilege to extend the date of payment of the Debt, nor as a
waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Payee by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default. The acceptance of any payment of Mortgaged
Property Cash Flow shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default. Payee retains its rights under this Note and the other Loan
Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the
happening of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Mortgaged Property
Cash Flow.

                  5. Other than as set forth in Sections 2.2.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
of the Loan Agreement, this Note may not be prepaid. Following the occurrence of
any Event of Default, Maker shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to
satisfy the Debt, such tender by Maker shall be deemed to be voluntary and Maker
shall pay, in addition to the Debt. Any application of Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the Debt or any other prepayment of the Debt
permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.2 or Section 7.1.3 of the Loan Agreement shall
be without any prepayment consideration.

                  6. All of the Debt shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date.

                  7. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Maker and Payee at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this paragraph shall control every other covenant and agreement in
this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. If the
applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render
usurious any amount called for under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage
or any of the other Loan Documents or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or received with respect to the Debt, or if Payee's exercise of the option to
accelerate the Maturity Date or any prepayment by Maker results in Maker having
paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is
Maker's and Payee's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected
by Payee shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and all other
Debt and the provisions of this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced,

                                       3
<PAGE>   4


without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply
with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount
otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid
to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long
as the Debt is outstanding.

                  8.       INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                  9. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended,
changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the
part of Maker or Payee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought. Whenever used, the singular number
shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words "PAYEE" and
"MAKER" shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators. If Maker consists of more than one person or party, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and
several.

                  10. Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand
for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of
nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof and notice of
acceleration. No release of any security for the Debt or any person liable for
payment of the Debt, no extension of time for payment of this Note or any
installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of
the Loan Documents made by agreement between Payee and any other person or party
shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or
affect the liability of Maker and any other person or party who may become
liable under the Loan Documents for the payment of all or any part of the Debt.

                  11. The remedies of the holder hereof as provided in this Note
or in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or the other Loan Documents shall
be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or
together at the sole discretion of the holder hereof, and may be exercised as
often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the holder of this Note
to the remedies mentioned above.

                  12. Maker (and the undersigned representative of Maker, if
any) represents that Maker has full power, authority and legal right to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and that this Note, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and
binding obligations of Maker.

                  13. If any term or provision of this Note or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note or the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

                  14. All notices or other communications required or permitted
to be given pursuant hereto shall be given and shall be effective in the manner
specified in the Loan Agreement, directed to the parties at their respective
addresses as provided therein.

                  15. MAKER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY MAKER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.
PAYEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MAKER.

                  16. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

                  Maker has duly executed this Promissory Note the day and year
first above written.

administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns to warrant and
forever defend the Mortgaged Property unto Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns, against the claim or claims of all persons claiming or to claim the

                  AND, for the purpose of further securing the Debt and for the
protection of the security of this Mortgage, for so long as the Debt or any part
thereof remains unpaid, Mortgagor represents and warrants to and covenants and
agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

                  1. PAYMENT OF DEBT AND INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS
AND AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Note,
the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this
Mortgage to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth
herein.

                  2. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Mortgagor hereby warrants that: (a)
Mortgagor has good, marketable and insurable title to the Mortgaged Property;
(b) Mortgagor has the full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under this Mortgage and to encumber, grant, bargain,
sell, convey, assign and mortgage the Mortgaged Property in the manner and form
hereby done or intended; (c) Mortgagor possesses an unencumbered fee simple
estate in the Premises and the Improvements and Mortgagor owns the Mortgaged
Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except
for those exceptions shown in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of
this Mortgage; and (d) this Mortgage is and will remain a valid and enforceable
first lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property, subject only to
those exceptions shown in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and
the validity and priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant
and defend the same to Mortgagee against the claims of all persons whomsoever.
The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage
and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Mortgagee in the event
Mortgagee acquires title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any foreclosure.

         3.       INSURANCE.

                  (a) Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, shall obtain and maintain during the entire
term of this Mortgage policies of insurance against loss or damage by fire and
lightning and against loss or damage by all other risks and hazards as required
and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.1 of the Loan
Agreement.

                  (b) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed,
in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Mortgagor shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee. Following the occurrence of a
Casualty, Mortgagor, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available
(unless such insurance proceeds have been used to repay the Debt in full), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Mortgaged Property
to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior
to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable
law. All amounts to be paid in connection with a Casualty under such policies
shall be governed by the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

                                       5


<PAGE>   6

                  4. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. Subject to Section 5.1(b) of the
Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates and
sewer rents now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof (the "TAXES"), and all maintenance charges, ground
rents, impositions other than Taxes and other charges, including, without
limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and
similar areas adjoining the Premises, now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (the "OTHER
Charges"), before delinquency, provided, however, that Mortgagor's obligation to
directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Mortgagor complies with the
terms and provisions of Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement.

         5.       CONDEMNATION.

                  (a) Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding against the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof (a
"CONDEMNATION") and shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a
Condemnation, Mortgagor, regardless of whether an Award (as hereinafter defined)
is available, (unless such Award has been used to repay the Debt in full), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Mortgaged Property
to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the
same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance
with applicable law.

                  (b) Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed as Mortgagor's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment ("AWARD") for any taking accomplished
through a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection
with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage and section
7.1.3(b) of the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any taking in connection with a
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including, without
limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a
Condemnation), Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award
shall have been actually received and applied by Mortgagee to expenses of
collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Mortgagee shall not be
limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall
be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in the Note. All amounts to be paid in connection with a Condemnation shall be
governed by the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

         6.       LEASES AND RENTS.

                  (a) Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally assign to Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, all of
Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases
and Rents, it being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a
present, absolute and unconditional assignment and not an assignment for
additional security only. Such assignment to Mortgagee shall not be construed to
bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon
Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee such additional
instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, as may hereafter
be requested by Mortgagee to further evidence and confirm such assignment.
Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Paragraph, Mortgagee grants to
Mortgagor a license (revocable upon an Event of Default) to operate and manage
the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that all Rents shall be sent to a
financial institution acceptable to Mortgagee for deposit into an account
designated and established by Mortgagee to secure repayment of the Debt, all in

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan
Agreement. Any Rents collected by Mortgagor shall be held by Mortgagor in trust
for the benefit of Mortgagee for use in the payment of the Debt. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), without the need for
notice or demand, the license granted to Mortgagor herein shall automatically be
revoked, and Mortgagee shall immediately be entitled to take possession of the
Leases and receive and apply all Rents, whether or not Mortgagee enters upon or
takes control of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee is hereby granted and
assigned by Mortgagor the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license
granted herein, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by
court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the
revocation of the license herein granted may be applied toward payment of the
Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion,
shall deem proper. Mortgagee is obligated to account only for such Rents as are
actually collected or received by Mortgagee. Neither the exercise by Mortgagee
of any rights under this Paragraph nor the application of any Rents to the Debt
shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder. The
assignment of Rents hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect
during any period of foreclosure and/or redemption with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. Mortgagor has executed the Assignment covering all of the right, title
and interest of Mortgagor, as landlord, in and to any Leases relating to all or
portions of the Mortgaged Property. All rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee
under the Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and
remedies granted to Mortgagee hereunder.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall duly and punctually comply with its
obligations under Section 5.1(t) of the Loan Agreement which sets forth certain
covenants of Mortgagor with regard to leasing of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c)      INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                  (d) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or
any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Mortgagor and,
if cash, shall be deposited by Mortgagor at such commercial or savings bank or
banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. Any bond or other
instrument which Mortgagor is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security
deposits under any applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full
force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash
deposits as hereinabove described, shall be issued by an institution reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee, shall, if permitted pursuant to any legal
requirements, name Mortgagee as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Mortgagee's
option, be fully assignable to Mortgagee) and shall, in all respects, comply
with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory
to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, upon request, provide Mortgagee with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee of Mortgagor's compliance with the
foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Mortgagor shall, upon Mortgagee's request, if permitted by any
applicable legal requirements, turn over to Mortgagee the security deposits (and
any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Property, to be held by Mortgagee subject to the terms of the
Leases.

                  7. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; LICENSES. Mortgagor hereby
represents and warrants to Mortgagee as follows:

                  (a)      INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
the Mortgagor's performance thereunder, the recordation of this Mortgage, nor
the exercise of any 

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

remedies by Mortgagee, will adversely affect Mortgagor's rights under the
Property Management Agreement.

                  (c) The Property Management Agreement complies with the 
requirements set forth in Section 5.1(v) of the Loan Agreement.

                  (d) All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals,
including, without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Mortgaged Property as
a retail shopping center, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

                  8. MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall cause
the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair.
The Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or
materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Improvements and
Equipment) without the consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly comply
with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the
use thereof, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and
codes. Subject to Section 3(b) and 5(a) hereof, Mortgagor shall promptly repair,
replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that is destroyed by any
Casualty, or becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated, or that is affected by any
Condemnation and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the
process of construction or repair on the Premises. Mortgagor shall not initiate,
join in, acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive
covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of
the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will
not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned
without the express written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not (i) change
the use of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on
or to the Mortgaged Property or to any portion thereof, or (iii) take any steps
whatsoever to convert the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a
condominium or cooperative form of management. Mortgagor will not install or
permit to be installed on the Premises any underground storage tank without
Mortgagee's prior written consent.

                  9.       TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

                  (a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee, in agreeing to make
the Loan, has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of
Mortgagor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property, and
that Mortgagee will continue to rely on Mortgagor's ownership and operation of
the Mortgaged Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Mortgagor acknowledges that
Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property so as to ensure that, should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the
Debt, Mortgagee can recover all or a portion of the Debt by a sale of the
Mortgaged Property. Accordingly, except as permitted in the Loan Agreement,
Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, sell,
convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof or permit the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, to be sold, conveyed, alienated, mortgaged, encumbered, pledged or
otherwise transferred.

                  (b) A sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property within the meaning of this
Paragraph 9 shall be deemed to include: (i) an installment sales agreement
wherein Mortgagor agrees to sell the Mortgaged Property or any 

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

part thereof or any interest therein for a price to be paid in installments;
(ii) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the
Mortgaged Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder,
or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest
in, Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents;
(iii) if Mortgagor or any general partner or managing member of Mortgagor is a
corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of such corporation's stock (or the
stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by
operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new stock in one
or a series of transactions; (iv) if Mortgagor or any general partner or
managing member of Mortgagor is a limited or general partnership, joint venture
or limited liability company, the change, removal, resignation or addition of a
partner, joint venturer or member or the sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the partnership interest of any partner or
the sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of
the interest of any joint venturer or member; (v) if Mortgagor is a limited or
general partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, nominee
trust, tenancy in common or other unincorporated form of business association or
form of ownership interest, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of an interest of any
person having a direct legal or beneficial ownership in Mortgagor, including any
legal or beneficial interest in any constituent partner or member of Mortgagor;
(vi) any instrument subjecting the Mortgaged Property to a condominium regime or
transferring ownership to a cooperative corporation; and (vii) the dissolution
or termination of Mortgagor or any general partner or managing member of
Mortgagor or the merger or consolidation of Mortgagor or any general partner or
managing member of Mortgagor with any other person.

                  (c) Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual
impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order
to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Mortgagor's sale,
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the
Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee's consent. This provision shall apply to
every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of
the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not
Mortgagee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (d) Mortgagee's consent to one sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of Mortgagee's right to require such consent to any future
occurrence of the same. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property made in contravention of this
Paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

                  10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted
or adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Debt
from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation or which
imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Mortgagee is advised by counsel
chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor
would be unlawful or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis
for a defense of usury, then, in any such event, Mortgagee shall have the
option, by written notice to Mortgagor of not less than ninety (90) days, to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

                  11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Mortgagor will not
claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt
for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction 

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this
Mortgage or the Debt. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be
required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less
than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

                  12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of
America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require
revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose
any intangible tax or any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay
for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

                  13. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and
agreed to be the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee at all times to comply with
applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that
it permits Mortgagee to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater
amount of interest than under state law) and that this Paragraph 13 (with the
similar provision contained in the Note) shall control every other covenant and
agreement in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable law
(state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt,
or if Mortgagee's exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note
or any prepayment by Mortgagor results in Mortgagor having paid any interest in
excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Mortgagor's and
Mortgagee's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by
Mortgagee shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and all other
Debt and the provisions of the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder
and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new
documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or
detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the
Debt until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

                  14. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall observe
and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Mortgagor
pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or
pertaining to the Mortgaged Property.

                  15. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Mortgagor will, at the cost of
Mortgagor, and without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and
deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from
time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning,
transferring and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby
granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and mortgaged or
intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter
become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention
or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing,
registering or recording this Mortgage or for facilitating the sale and transfer
of the Loan and the Loan Documents as described in Section 9.1 of the Loan
Agreement. Mortgagor, on demand, will execute and deliver, and Mortgagor hereby
authorizes Mortgagee to execute in the name of Mortgagor or without the
signature of Mortgagor to the extent Mortgagee may lawfully do so, one or more
financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments to evidence more
effectively the security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property. Upon
foreclosure, the 

                                       10

appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Mortgagor will, at the
cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee, cooperate fully and
completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit,
agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law and in equity,
including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Mortgagee
pursuant to this Paragraph.

                  16. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC. Mortgagor forthwith upon the
execution and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will
cause this Mortgage and any security instrument creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each
instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such
manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in
order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor
will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident
to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment, of this Mortgage, any mortgage
supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county
and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or
in connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any mortgage
supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law
so to do. Mortgagor shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors
and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any
tax on the making and recording of this Mortgage.

                  17. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Mortgagor agrees to give prompt
notice to Mortgagee of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Mortgagor or any
general partner or managing member of Mortgagor.

                  18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due
and payable at the option of Mortgagee upon the happening of any one or more of
the following events of default (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"):

                  (a) any portion of the Debt is not paid when due;

                  (b) except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Loan
Agreement, any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid before delinquency and
payable;

                  (c) the Policies (as defined in the Loan Agreement) are not
kept in full force and effect, or certified copies of the Policies are not

transfers or encumbers any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any interest

                  (e) any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor herein or
in any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement or
other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Mortgagee shall have been
false or misleading in any material respect when made; provided, however, if
such false or misleading representation or warranty is susceptible of being
cured within thirty (30) days, the same shall be an Event of Default hereunder
only if the same is not cured within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30)
days after notice from Mortgagee;

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

Mortgagor or Mortgagor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or any
petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal
bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or
against, consented to or acquiesced in by Mortgagor, or any proceeding for the
dissolution or liquidation of Mortgagor shall be instituted; provided, however,
that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary
and not consented to by Mortgagor, then the same shall be an Event of Default
hereunder only if the same is not discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty
(60) days after the date of such appointment or adjudication, the date such
petition is first filed or the date such proceeding is instituted, as the case
may be;

                  (h) Mortgagor shall be in default under any other mortgage or
security agreement covering any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether it be
superior or junior in lien to this Mortgage;

                  (i) the Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any mechanic's,
materialman's or other lien except a lien for local real estate taxes and
assessments not then due and payable, (subject to Section 5.1(b) of the Loan
Agreement in the case of real estate taxes and assessments), unless a corporate
surety bond in form and with sureties satisfactory to Mortgagee, cash or other
security satisfactory to Mortgagee is posted therefor within sixty (60) days
after the filing of such lien, but in any event prior to the commencement of any
action to foreclose such lien, and such lien is removed (or bonded off) from the
Mortgaged Property within such sixty (60) days;

                  (j) Mortgagor fails to cure properly any violations of laws or
ordinances affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Mortgaged
Property within thirty (30) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of any
such violations; PROVIDED, however, that if such violation is susceptible of
cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and provided
further that Mortgagor shall have commenced to cure such violation within such
30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the
same and PROVIDED further that any governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the subject matter of such violation consents to a longer cure period, such
30-day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Mortgagor in the exercise of due diligence to cure such violation, such
additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days;

                  (k) except as expressly permitted in this Mortgage or the Loan
Agreement, the actual or threatened material alteration, improvement, demolition
or removal of any of the Improvements without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee;

                  (l) without Mortgagee's prior consent, (i) the property
manager for the Mortgaged Property under the Property Management Agreement (or
any successor property management agreement) resigns or is removed, or (ii) the
ownership, management or control of such property manager is transferred to
another person or entity, or (iii) there is any material change in the Property
Management Agreement (or any successor property management agreement);

                  (m) a default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable
cure period under the Property Management Agreement (or any successor property
management agreement) if such default permits the property manager to terminate
or cancel the Property Management Agreement (or any successor property
management agreement);

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                  (n) Mortgagor ceases to do business as a retail shopping
center on the Mortgaged Property or terminates such business for any reason
whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in connection with any renovations to
the Mortgaged Property);

                  (o) Mortgagor fails to cure a default under any other term,
covenant or provision of this Mortgage not specified in clauses (a) through (n)
above, within ten (10) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of such
default in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of
money or within thirty (30) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of such
default in the case of any other default; PROVIDED, however, that if such
non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30-day period and provided further that Mortgagor shall have
commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall
be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Mortgagor in the
exercise of due diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to
exceed ninety (90) days; or

                  (p) Mortgagor shall be in default under any term, covenant or
provision of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Assignment or any of the other
Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents,
whether as to Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property, or any other such event shall
occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Mortgagee to
accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

                  19. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any portion of the Debt is not
paid on the date on which it is due, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee upon
demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid
portion of the Debt or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order
to defray a portion of the expenses incurred by Mortgagee in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Mortgagee for the loss of
the use of such delinquent payment, and such amount shall be secured by this
Mortgage.

                  20. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default or if Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein
provided, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice
to or demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation
hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee
may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to
enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or
bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property
or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent
permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate for the period from the
date such cost or expense was incurred by Mortgagee to the date of payment to
Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee
upon demand.

         21.      REMEDIES.

                  (a) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may take such action, without
notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof,
including, without limitation, the following actions, each of which may be
pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mortgagee
may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

                                      13

                  Mortgaged Property or any interest therein may be sold for
                  cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several
                  interests or portions and in any order or manner;
                           (iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted
                  and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law,
                  institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this
                  Mortgage for the portion of the Debt then due and payable,
                  subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the
                  balance of the Debt not then due;
                           (iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Mortgaged
                  Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand,
                  right, title and interest of Mortgagor therein and rights of
                  redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at
                  one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time
                  and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as
                  may be required or permitted by law;
                           (v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity
                  for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or
                  agreement contained herein or in any of the other Loan
                  Documents;
                           (vi) recover judgment on the Note either before,
                  during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this
                  Mortgage; (vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee,
                  receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property,
                  without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the
                  security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of
                  the Mortgagor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable
                  for the payment of the Debt;
                           (viii) enforce Mortgagee's interest in the Leases and
                  Rents and enter into or upon the Premises, either personally
                  or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess
                  Mortgagor and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon
                  Mortgagee may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure,
                  maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and
                  every part of the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business
                  thereat, (B) complete any construction on the Mortgaged
                  Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable,
                  (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and
                  improvements to or on the Mortgaged Property, (D) exercise all
                  rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged
                  Property, whether in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise,
                  including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel,
                  enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and
                  demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents, and (E) apply
                  the receipts from the Mortgaged Property to the payment of
                  Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including
                  reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, any brokers'
                  fees, any Gains Tax (as hereinafter defined) and any transfer
                  taxes) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations
                  and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, insurance and
                  Other Charges in connection with the Mortgaged Property, as
                  well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of
                  Mortgagee, its counsel, brokers, agents and employees;
                           (ix) require Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to
                  Mortgagee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the
                  fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of
                  any portion of the Mortgaged Property occupied by Mortgagor
                  and require Mortgagor to vacate and surrender possession to
                  Mortgagee of the Mortgaged Property or to such receiver and,
                  in default thereof, evict Mortgagor by summary proceedings or
                  otherwise; or

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

                           (x) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be
                  available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial
                  Code, including, without limitation, the right to receive
                  and/or establish a lock box for all Rents and proceeds from
                  the Intangibles and any other receivables or rights to
                  payments of Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property. In
                  the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than
                  all of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall continue as
                  a lien on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Paragraph 21, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee
under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Paragraph 21 or
otherwise, shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such
priority and proportion as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

                  (c) Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to
be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except
as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Mortgagee, without
further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which
the same shall be so adjourned.

                  (d) Any sale made by Mortgagee under or by virtue of this 
Mortgage may be subject to such existing tenancies as Mortgagee, in its sole
discretion, may elect.

                  (e) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto,
Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and
deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and
transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and
rights sold. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so
sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of
conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with
like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney
or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale
or sales made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 21, whether made under the
power of sale granted under this Mortgage or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to
divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so
sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor
and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part
thereof, from, through or under Mortgagor.

                  (f) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph
21, whether made under a power of sale or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of
paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the
sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to
deduct under this Mortgage.

                  (g) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of
this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or 

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee
hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall
continue unimpaired as before.

                  (h) Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other
action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this
Paragraph 21 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in
Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.

                  (i) Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security
given by the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents in whole or
in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined in Mortgagee's
sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any
rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Mortgage or
any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right,
remedy or option provided in the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any
covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other
Loan Documents unless otherwise explicitly agreed by Mortgagee in writing. No
acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of
Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation for which Mortgagor is
liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with
respect to Mortgagor, or Mortgagor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale
of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, no forbearance on the part of
Mortgagee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion
of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, shall
operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the
remaining Mortgaged Property or the liability of Mortgagor to pay the Debt. No
waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to
the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Mortgagee in
exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph 21 (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid
by Mortgagor immediately upon notice from Mortgagee, with interest at the
Default Rate for the period from the date paid or incurred by Mortgagee until
repaid by Mortgagor, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of
the Debt and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

                  (j) The interests and rights of Mortgagee under the Note, this
Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any
indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Mortgagee
may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise,
release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant
with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any
release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any
of the Debt.

                  22. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or
remedies granted under this Mortgage, Mortgagee and its agents shall have the
right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time upon
reasonable notice under the circumstances until the Debt is paid in full. The
cost of such inspections shall be borne by Mortgagor should Mortgagee determine
that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or
additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Mortgagee.
The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Mortgagor following demand, may
be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this
Mortgage and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

         23.      SECURITY AGREEMENT.

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

                  (a) This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a
"security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The
Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights
and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has
granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Debt, a security
interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged
Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the
Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being referred to
in this Paragraph 23 as the "COLLATERAL"). Mortgagor hereby agrees with
Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance
satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances
as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably consider necessary to create,
perfect and preserve Mortgagee's security interest herein granted. This Mortgage
shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform
Commercial Code. As such, this Mortgage covers all items of the Collateral that
are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest
herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties
set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall
occur, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may
have, shall have and may exercise, immediately and without demand, any and all
rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to take
such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor
shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee
at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee
on demand any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and
in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. The proceeds
of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by
Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as
Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change
in name, identity or structure of any Mortgagor, such Mortgagor shall notify
Mortgagee thereof and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such
Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of
Mortgagee's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all
expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If
Mortgagee shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial
Code forms or continuation statements, Mortgagor shall, promptly after request,
execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation
statements as Mortgagee shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and
fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing
or other statements signed only by Mortgagee, as secured party, in connection
with the Collateral covered by this Mortgage.

                  (b) Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right,
at Mortgagee's opinion:

                           (i) To proceed as to both the real and personal
                  property covered by this Mortgage in accordance with
                  Mortgagee's rights and remedies in respect of said real
                  property, in which event (A) the provisions of the Uniform
                  Commercial Code otherwise applicable to sale of the Collateral
                  shall not apply, and (B) the sale of the Collateral in
                  conjunction with and as one parcel with said real property (or
                  any portion thereof) shall be deemed to be a commercially
                  reasonable manner of sale; or

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

                           (ii) To proceed as to the Collateral separately from
                  the Premises and the Improvements, in which event the
                  requirement of reasonable notice shall be met by mailing
                  notice of the sale, postage prepaid, to Mortgagor or any other
                  person entitled thereto at least ten (10) days before the time
                  of the sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral. 


                  24. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. After and Event of Default,
Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought
with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in
the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its sole discretion,
decides should be brought to protect their interest in the Mortgaged Property.
Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or
other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any
such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of
the Debt.

                  25. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. All amounts due under
this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without
setoff, counterclaim (except for compulsory counterclaims) or any deduction
whatsoever. Mortgagor hereby waives the right to assert a setoff, counterclaim
(except for compulsory counterclaims) or deduction in any action or proceeding
in which Mortgagee is a participant, or arising out of or in any way connected
with this Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents, or the Debt.

                  26. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have
the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action,
for a default or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action
was commenced.

         27.      MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS.

                  (a) Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law,
the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the
event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any
interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights
of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this
Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring
any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of
this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable
law. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not have or assert any
right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the exemption of homestead
or other exemption under any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in
effect, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage
to a sale of the Mortgaged Property, for the collection of the Debt without any
prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Mortgagee under the
terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds of sale of
the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Further,
Mortgagor hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives, releases,
relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and future statutes of limitations
as a defense to any action to enforce the provisions of this Mortgage or to
collect any of the Debt secured hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  (b) Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the lien of this
Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be
affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the 

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee of any other
security for any portion of the Debt, or by any failure, neglect or omission on
the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any portion of the Debt or any
collateral security therefor. The lien of this Mortgage shall not in any manner
be impaired or affected by any release (except as to the property released),
sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence,
alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any portion of the Debt or
of any of the collateral security therefor, and Mortgagee may foreclose, or
exercise any other remedy available to Mortgagee, without first exercising or
enforcing any of its other remedies under this Mortgage and any exercise of the
rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not in any manner impair the
Debt or any of Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder.

                  28. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Mortgagor hereby represents and
warrants to Mortgagee that except as set forth in the environmental report
delivered to Mortgagee on the Closing Date in connection with the closing of the
Loan: (a) except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to cause a
Material Adverse Change the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance with all
local, state, federal and other governmental authority statutes, ordinances,
codes, orders, decrees, laws, rules and regulations pertaining to or imposing
liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation,
contamination or clean-up, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, as amended, the Hazardous
Substances Transportation Act, as amended, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as
amended, the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Clean Air Act, as amended, the
Toxic Substance Control Act, as amended, the Safe Drinking Water Act, as
amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, any state
super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes and all regulations, orders and
guidelines adopted in respect of the foregoing laws, whether presently in force
or coming into being and/or effectiveness hereafter (collectively,
"ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"); (b) the Mortgaged Property is not subject to any private
or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry,
investigation or claim relating to hazardous and/or toxic, dangerous and/or
regulated, substances, wastes, materials, raw materials which include hazardous
constituents, pollutants or contaminants, including, without limitation,
asbestos or any substance or material containing asbestos, petroleum, tremolite,
anthlophylie, actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls and any other substances
or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws or
which are considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise dangerous in terms of
the health, safety or welfare of humans (collectively, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES");
(c) to the best knowledge of Mortgagor no Hazardous Substances are or have been
(including, the period prior to Mortgagor's acquisition of the Mortgaged
Property) released, discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on,
incorporated in, or removed or transported from the Mortgaged Property other
than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (d) to the best knowledge of
Mortgagor no Hazardous Substances are present in, on or under any nearby real
property which could migrate to or otherwise affect the Mortgaged Property; and
(e) to the best knowledge of Mortgagor no underground storage tanks exist on the
Mortgaged Property. So long as Mortgagor owns or is in possession of the
Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor: (i) shall keep or cause the Mortgaged Property to
be kept free from Hazardous Substances; (ii) shall keep or cause the Mortgaged
Property to be kept in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (iii) shall
promptly notify Mortgagee in writing if Mortgagor shall become aware of any
Hazardous Substances on or near the Mortgaged Property and/or if Mortgagor shall
become aware that the Mortgaged Property is in direct or indirect violation of
any Environmental Laws and/or if Mortgagor shall become aware of any condition
on or near the Mortgaged Property which could pose a threat to the health,
safety or welfare of humans; and (iv) shall remove such Hazardous Substances
and/or cure such violations and/or remove such threats, as applicable, as
required by law (or as shall be required by Mortgagee in the case of removal
which is not 

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

required by law, but in response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist,
licensed environmental engineer or other qualified consultant engaged by
Mortgagee), promptly after Mortgagor becomes aware of the same, at Mortgagor's
sole expense. The obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor under this Paragraph
28 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage
and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by
foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

                  29. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING; REMEDIAL WORK. Mortgagor shall
give prompt written notice to Mortgagee of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any
party with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under, from or
about the Mortgaged Property; (b) all claims made or threatened by any third
party against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property relating to any loss or injury
resulting from any Hazardous Substance; and (c) Mortgagor's discovery of any
occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Mortgaged Property that could cause the Mortgaged Property to be subject to any
investigation or clean-up pursuant to any Environmental Law. Mortgagor shall
permit Mortgagee to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Mortgaged Property in
connection with any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance, and Mortgagor
shall pay all attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in
connection therewith. Upon Mortgagee's request, at any time and from time to
time while this Mortgage is in effect, Mortgagor shall provide, at Mortgagor's
sole expense, an inspection or audit of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a
licensed hydrogeologist, a licensed environmental engineer or other qualified
consultant approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous
Substances and/or the violation or threatened violation of any Environmental
Laws at, on, in, under or near the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that
Mortgagee may not require Mortgagor to provide such inspection or audit unless:
(i) Mortgagee is required by law to obtain such inspection or audit, (ii) such
inspection or audit is requested by Mortgagee in conjunction with a foreclosure
or other enforcement proceeding under the Loan Documents, or (iii) Mortgagee has
determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that reasonable cause
exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the
Mortgaged Property. If Mortgagor fails to provide any such inspection or audit
within sixty (60) days after such request, Mortgagee may order same, and
Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its employees and agents access to the
Mortgaged Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost
of such inspection or audit shall be added to the Debt and shall bear interest
thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. In the event that any environmental
site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit
recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any
Hazardous Substance, Mortgagor shall cause such operations and maintenance plan
to be prepared and implemented at Mortgagor's expense upon request of Mortgagee.
In the event that any investigation, testing, assessment, audit, site
monitoring, containment, clean-up, removal, restoration or other work of any
kind is reasonably necessary or desirable under an applicable Environmental Law
or otherwise required under this Mortgage in connection with any Hazardous
Substance (the "REMEDIAL WORK"), Mortgagor shall commence and thereafter
diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within thirty (30)
days after written demand by Mortgagee for performance thereof (or such shorter
period of time as may be required under applicable law). All Remedial Work shall
be performed by contractors approved in advance by Mortgagee and under the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Mortgagee. All costs and
expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Mortgagor, including, without
limitation, Mortgagee's reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. In the event
Mortgagor shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to
diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Mortgagee may, but shall
not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or 

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

incurred in connection therewith, shall be added to the Debt and shall bear
interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

         30.      HANDICAPPED ACCESS.

                  (a) Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all
times strictly comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of
1988, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and
all rules, regulations and orders issued pursuant thereto, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for
Buildings and Facilities (collectively, "ACCESS LAWS").

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any
other document regarding Mortgagee's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which
would increase Mortgagor's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable
Access Laws without the prior written approval of Mortgagee. The foregoing shall
apply to tenant improvements constructed by Mortgagor or by any of its tenants.
Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of
Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to
Mortgagee.

                  (c) Mortgagor agrees to give prompt written notice to
Mortgagee of the receipt by Mortgagor of any complaints related to violation of
any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations
which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

                  31. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications
provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses,
fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Mortgagee (other than as a direct result of Mortgagee's fraud or wilful
misconduct)by reason of: (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property
or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or
death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs,
adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use,
nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply
with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any labor or services
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof; (f) the presence, disposal, escape, seepage,
leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any
Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property,
any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or
personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Substance, and any lawsuit
brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such
Hazardous Substance; (g) any violation of Environmental Laws which is based upon
or in any way related to any Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under, from or
affecting the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the costs and
expenses of any Remedial Work, attorney and consultant fees and disbursements,
investigation and laboratory fees, court costs and litigation expenses; (h) any
failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any Access Laws; (i) any
representation or warranty made in the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other
Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the date
such representation or warranty was made; (j) any claim by brokers, finders or
similar persons claiming to be entitled to 

                                       21
<PAGE>   22

a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any liability asserted against
Mortgagee with respect thereto; and (k) the claims of any tenant of any portion
of the Mortgaged Property or any person acting through or under any tenant or
otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease. The indemnifications
set forth in the preceding clauses (f) and (g) shall include, without
limitation, the costs of removal of the Hazardous Substances before or after
foreclosure or other taking of title to the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee,
additional costs required to take necessary precautions to protect against the
release of Hazardous Substances into the air, any body of water or any other
public domain or onto or under any other property, costs incurred to comply with
all applicable Environmental Laws, and any diminution in the value of the
security afforded by the Mortgaged Property or any future reduction in the sale
price of the Mortgaged Property by reason of any matter set forth above in said
clauses (f) or (g) of this Paragraph 31 to the extent that such diminution in
value or such future reduction in sale price results in Mortgagee receiving less
than the full amount of all principal, interest and other sums payable by
Mortgagor under the Loan, but shall specifically not include any such costs
relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under the
Mortgaged Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to the Mortgaged
Property by Mortgagee. Any amounts payable to Mortgagee by reason of the
application of this Paragraph shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall become
immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the
date loss or damage is sustained by Mortgagee until paid. The obligations and
liabilities of Mortgagor under this Paragraph 31 shall survive any termination,
satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any
of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the
acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure but only to the extent based on facts existing at the time Mortgagor
owned the Mortgaged Property.

                  32.      NOTICES.  Any notice,  demand,  statement,  request 
or consent made hereunder shall be sent and shall be effective in the manner set
forth in the Loan Agreement.

                  33. AUTHORITY. Mortgagor (and the undersigned representative
of Mortgagor, if any) represent and warrant that it (or they, as the case may
be) has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations pursuant to this Mortgage and to grant, bargain, sell, convey,
assign, transfer and mortgage the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms
hereof and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Mortgage on Mortgagor's
part to be performed; and Mortgagor represents and warrants that Mortgagor is
not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury Department
regulations, including temporary regulations.

                  34. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Mortgagee except with respect to matters
for which the Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving
of notice by Mortgagee to Mortgagor and except with respect to matters for which
Mortgagee is required by applicable law to give notice. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any
notice from Mortgagee with respect to any matter for which this Mortgage does
not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Mortgagee to
Mortgagor.

                  35. REMEDIES OF MORTGAGOR. In the event that a claim or
adjudication is made that Mortgagee has acted unreasonably or unreasonably
delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly,
Mortgagee shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Mortgagor's remedies
shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

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

                  37. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations
hereunder by reason of: (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request
of Mortgagor or to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise
enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, the Loan Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of
the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the
Debt or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee
extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms
of the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents. Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its sole
discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any
portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the
right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclosure this Mortgage. The rights and
remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and
cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act
of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one
provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee shall not be
limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be
entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in
equity.

                  38. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof,
may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or
terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or
Mortgagee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge
or termination is sought.

                  39. LIABILITY. If more than one person signs this Mortgage as
Mortgagee, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall
be joint and several. Subject to the provisions hereof requiring Mortgagee's
consent to any transfer of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee and their
respective successors and assigns.

                  40. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant or
condition of the Note or this Mortgage is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the Note and this Mortgage shall be construed
without such provision.

                  41. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various
paragraphs of this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only and are not to
be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof.

                  42. DUPLICATE  ORIGINALS.  This Mortgage may be executed in 
any number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be
deemed to be an original.

Property or any part thereof or any interest therein," (b) the word "MORTGAGEE"
shall mean "Mortgagee and any subsequent holder of this Mortgage," (c) the word

TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER

CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER
OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY MORTGAGOR, AND
IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH
THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. MORTGAGEE IS HEREBY
AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE
EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MORTGAGOR.

         46.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Any consent or approval by Mortgagee in any single
instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Mortgagee's consent or approval
in any like matter arising at a subsequent date, and the failure of Mortgagee to
promptly exercise any right, power, remedy, consent or approval provided herein
or at law or in equity shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the
same nor shall Mortgagee be estopped from exercising such right, power, remedy,
consent or approval at a later date. Any consent or approval requested of and
granted by Mortgagee pursuant hereto shall be narrowly construed to be
applicable only to Mortgagor and the matter identified in such consent or
approval and no third party shall claim any benefit by reason thereof, and any
such consent or approval shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a venturer
or partner with Mortgagor nor shall privity of contract be presumed to have been
established with any such third party. If Mortgagee deems it to be in its best
interest to retain assistance of persons, firms or corporations (including,
without limitation, attorneys, title insurance companies, appraisers, engineers
and surveyors) with respect to a request for consent or approval, Mortgagor
shall reimburse Mortgagee for all out of pocket costs (except after an Event of
Default, Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses)
reasonably incurred in connection with the employment of such persons, firms or
corporations.

                  (b) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that during the term of
this Mortgage, unless Mortgagee shall have previously consented in writing: (i)
Mortgagor will take no action that would cause it to become an "employee benefit
plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or
cause the assets of Mortgagor to constitute "plan assets" of one or more such
plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101; and (ii) Mortgagor
will take no action that would cause it to be a "governmental plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and shall not engage in any transaction which
would subject Mortgagor to state statutes regulating investments of, and
fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. Mortgagor will not
sell, assign or transfer the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, to any transferee that does not execute and deliver to
Mortgagee its written assumption of the obligations of the foregoing covenants.
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Mortgagee harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense
(including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and the cost of correcting
any prohibited transaction or obtaining an appropriate exemption) that Mortgagee
may incur as a result of Mortgagor's breach of the foregoing covenants. These
covenants and indemnity shall survive the extinguishment of the lien of this
Mortgage by foreclosure or action in lieu thereof provided such indemnity
relates to facts in existence prior to the extinguishment of the lien of this
Mortgage. In addition, the foregoing indemnity shall be a recourse obligation of
Mortgagor but not against its members and shall supersede any limitations on
Mortgagor's liability under any of the Loan Documents.

                  (c) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between
Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other
agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the
provisions of the Loan Documents.

                  (d) Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of
this Mortgage.

                  (e) Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that there
has not been committed by Mortgagor or to Mortgagor's knowledge any other person
in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Mortgaged Property
any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local
government the right of forfeiture as against the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Mortgagor's obligations under the
Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or
circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof,
Mortgagor hereby indemnifies Mortgagee and agrees to defend and hold Mortgagee
harmless from and against any loss, damage or injury by reason of the breach of
the covenants and agreements or the representations and warranties set forth in
this Paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of
formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Mortgagor or against
all or any part of the Mortgaged Property under any federal or state law for
which forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or of any monies
paid in performance of Mortgagor's obligations under the Loan Documents is a
potential result, shall, at the election of Mortgagee, constitute an Event of
Default hereunder without notice or opportunity to cure.

                  (f) The relationship between Mortgagor and Mortgagee is that
of a borrower and a lender only and neither of those parties is, nor shall it
hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the
other party.

                  (g) An Event of Default hereunder shall be a default under
each of the other Loan Documents.

                                       25
<PAGE>   26

                  (h) In the event the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent permitted by
law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for purposes of
redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is
located), bear interest at the Default Rate.

                  (i) This document may be construed as a mortgage, deed of
trust, chattel mortgage, conveyance, assignment, security agreement, pledge,
financing statement, hypothecation or contract, or any one or more of the
foregoing, in order to fully effectuate the liens and security interests created
hereby and the purposes and agreements herein set forth.

                  (j) In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings
affecting Mortgagor or the general partners, members or principals in Mortgagor,
or their respective creditors or property, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by
law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in
such proceedings for the entire secured Debt at the date of the institution of
such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable
by Mortgagor hereunder after such date.

         47.      INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                  48. MATURITY DATE.  The maturity date of the Debt secured 
hereby is July 30, 1999 (the Stated Maturity Date).


                  49. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Mortgage secures such future or
additional advances as may be made by Mortgagee or the holder hereof, at its
exclusive option, to Mortgagor or its successors or assigns in title for any
purpose. All such future advances shall be secured to the same extent as if made
on the date of the execution of this Mortgage and this Mortgage shall secure the
payment of the Note and any additional advances made from time to time pursuant
hereto, all of said Debt being equally secured hereby and having the same
priority as any amounts advanced as of the date of this Mortgage. It is agreed
that any additional sum or sums advanced by Mortgagee shall be equally secured
with and have the same priority as the original Debt and shall be subject to all
of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Mortgage, whether or not such
additional loans or advances are evidenced by other promissory notes or other
guaranties of Mortgagor and whether or not identified by a recital that it or
they are secured by this Mortgage. It is further agreed that any additional
promissory note or guaranty or promissory notes or guaranties executed and
delivered pursuant to this Paragraph shall automatically be deemed to be
included in the term "NOTE" wherever it appears in the context of this Mortgage.

                  50. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. All property acquired by
Mortgagor after the date of this Mortgage which by the terms of this Mortgage
shall be subject to the lien and/or the security interest created hereby, shall
immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Mortgagor and without any further
mortgage, conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security
interest created by this Mortgage. Nevertheless, Mortgagor shall execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such
further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and
assurances as Mortgagee shall require for accomplishing the purposes of this
Mortgage.

                  51. CERTAIN RETAIL COVENANTS. Mortgagor further covenants and
agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

                  (a)      Mortgagor shall:

                                       26
<PAGE>   27

                           (i) promptly perform and/or observe all of the
                  covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
                  by it under the Property Management Agreement and do all
                  things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its
                  material rights thereunder;
                           (ii) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any
                  default under the Property Management Agreement of which it is
                  aware;
                           (iii) promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of each
                  financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan,
                  notice, report and estimate prepared by Mortgagor or Manager
                  under the Property Management Agreement; and
                           (iv) promptly enforce the performance and observance
                  of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
                  performed and/or observed by the property manager under the
                  Property Management Agreement.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's prior written
consent:

                           (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Property
                  Management Agreement or otherwise replace the property manager
                  under the Property Management Agreement or enter into any
                  other management agreements with respect to the Mortgaged
                  Property, provided, however, that Mortgagor may terminate or
                  cancel the Property Management Agreement in accordance with
                  the terms thereof so long as, prior to such termination or
                  cancellation, Mortgagor has selected a replacement property
                  manager and such replacement property manager has been
                  approved by Mortgagee;
                           (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term
                  of the Property Management Agreement;
                           (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the
                  amount of any charges under the Property Management Agreement;
                  or
                           (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or
                  amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies
                  under, the Property Management Agreement in any material
                  respect which adversely effects Mortgagor's rights thereunder
                  or Mortgagee's interest in the Mortgaged Property.

                 (c) Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's prior written 
consent, enter into transactions with any affiliate, including, without
limitation, any arrangement providing for the managing of the Mortgaged
Property, the rendering or receipt of services or the purchase or sale of
inventory, except any such transaction in the ordinary course of business of
Mortgagor if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom would be
substantially as advantageous to Mortgagor as the monetary or business
consideration that Mortgagor would obtain in a comparable transaction with a
person not an affiliate of Mortgagor.

                  (d) Mortgagor will enter into and cause the property manager
to enter into an assignment and subordination of the Property Management
Agreement in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, assigning to Mortgagee all of
Mortgagor's rights and interest under the Property Management Agreement and
subordinating the property manager's interest in the Mortgaged Property and all
fees and other rights of the property manager pursuant to the Property
Management Agreement to this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and the
rights of Mortgagee hereunder and thereunder. If a monetary default or an Event
of Default shall occur, Mortgagor, at Mortgagee's request made at any time while
such monetary default or such Event of Default is continuing, shall terminate
the Property Management Agreement and replace the property manager with a
property manager approved by Mortgagee on terms and conditions satisfactory to
Mortgagee.

                  52. LOCAL LAW. Annexed hereto as Exhibit B are additional
provisions which shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of any inconsistencies between

                                       27
<PAGE>   28

the provisions of this Mortgage and the provisions of Exhibit B, the provisions
of Exhibit B shall control and be binding.

                  53. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY
IS LOCATED WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT THAT THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF
LAWS) SHALL GOVERN THE RESOLUTION OF ISSUES ARISING UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND
NOTE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH RESOLUTION IS NECESSARY TO THE INTERPRETATION OF
THIS MORTGAGE.

                  54. WAIVER OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS. The laws of South Carolina
provide that in any real estate foreclosure proceeding a defendant against whom
a personal judgment is taken or asked may within thirty (30) days after the sale
of the mortgaged property apply to the court for an order of appraisal. The
statutory appraisal value as approved by the court would be substituted for the
high bid and may decrease the amount of any deficiency owing in connection with
the transaction. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES THE STATUTORY
APPRAISAL RIGHTS WHICH MEANS THE HIGH BID AT THE JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE SALE WILL
BE APPLIED TO THE DEBT REGARDLESS OF ANY APPRAISED VALUE OF THE MORTGAGED
PROPERTY.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has executed this Mortgage,
Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.

                  1.       INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

                  2. This Note is evidence of that certain mortgage loan made by
Payee to Maker contemporaneously herewith (the "LOAN") and is executed pursuant
to the terms and conditions of that certain Loan Agreement executed the date
hereof, between Maker and Payee (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"). This Note is secured by,
among other things: (a) a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security
Agreement dated as of the date hereof, given by Maker, as mortgagor, for the use
and benefit of Payee, as mortgagee, encumbering the fee estate 

                                       1
<PAGE>   2


of Maker in a certain property located in the County of Anoka and State of
Minnesota, as more particularly described therein (the "MORTGAGE"), (b) an
Assignments of Leases and Rents dated as of the date hereof, executed by Maker
in favor of Payee (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES"), and (c) the other Loan Documents
(as defined in the Loan Agreement). Reference is made to the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents for a description of the
nature and extent of the security afforded thereby, the rights of the holder
hereof in respect of such security, the terms and conditions upon which this
Note is secured and the rights and duties of the holder of this Note. The holder
of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Leases and the other Loan Documents and may enforce the agreements contained
therein and exercise the remedies provided therein or otherwise in respect
thereof, all in accordance with the terms thereof. Except for the provisions and
limitations set forth in Paragraph 9 of this Note, no reference herein to any of
the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or other Loan Documents and no other
provision of this Note or of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or the other
Loan Documents shall alter or impair the obligation of Maker, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time
and place and at the rates and in the monies and funds described herein. All of
the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in
the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents which are to
be kept and performed by Maker are by this reference hereby made part of this
Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully
set forth in this Note, and Maker covenants and agrees to keep and perform the
same, or cause the same to be kept and performed, in accordance with their
terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
set forth in the Loan Agreement.

                  3. If any sum payable under this Note is not paid on the date
on which it is due, Maker shall pay to Payee upon demand an amount equal to the
lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law in order to defray a portion of the expenses incurred by Payee
in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Payee for
the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. If the day when any payment
required under this Note is due is not a Business Day, then payment shall be due
on the first Business Day thereafter. The term "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean a day
other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) any day on which national banks in
New York, New York are not open for business.

                  4. The whole of the principal sum of this Note, together with
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (all such sums hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "DEBT"), or any portion thereof, shall without notice become
immediately due and payable at the option of Payee if any payment required in
this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due or upon the happening of
any other Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In the event that
it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect or enforce the Debt or
to protect or foreclose the security therefor, Maker also shall pay on demand
all costs of collection incurred by Payee, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, and costs reasonably incurred for the services of 

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

counsel whether or not suit be brought.

                  5. Maker does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Payee shall be entitled to receive and Maker shall pay to
Payee (a) interest on the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note and any other
amounts (including interest to the extent permitted by applicable law) due at
the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and (b) on the eleventh day
of each month during which such Event of Default shall continue, an aggregate
amount equal to the Mortgaged Property Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) for the prior month (less any payments made to Payee pursuant to
clause (a) above from the Mortgaged Property Cash Flow for the prior month and
not including any Security Deposits to the extent any Tenant may have any right
to the return of such Security Deposit), such Mortgaged Property Cash Flow to be
applied by Payee to the payment of the Debt in such order as Payee shall
determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating
applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at the Default
Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the
actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then
due). Interest at the Default Rate, to the extent not paid, shall be added to
the Debt and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph, however, shall
not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of payment of
the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Payee by
reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. The acceptance of any payment
of Mortgaged Property Cash Flow shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. Payee retains its rights under this Note and the
other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt
upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Mortgaged
Property Cash Flow.

                  6. Other than as set forth in Sections 2.2.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
of the Loan Agreement, this Note may not be prepaid. Following the occurrence of
any Event of Default, Maker shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to
satisfy the Debt and such tender by Maker shall be deemed to be voluntary. Any
application of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the
Debt or any other prepayment of the Debt permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.2 or
Section 7.1.3 of the Loan Agreement shall be without any prepayment
consideration.

                  7. All of the Debt shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date.

                  8. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Maker and Payee at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this paragraph shall control every other covenant and agreement in
this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. If the
applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render
usurious any amount called for under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage
or any of the other Loan Documents or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or received with respect to the Debt, or if Payee's 

                                       3


<PAGE>   4

exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date or any prepayment by
Maker results in Maker having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by
applicable law, then it is Maker's and Payee's express intent that all excess
amounts theretofore collected by Payee shall be credited on the principal
balance of this Note and all other Debt and the provisions of this Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to
comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long
as the Debt is outstanding.

                  9.  Section 9.4 of the Loan  Agreement is  incorporated  
herein by reference and all of the provisions of this Note shall be subject
thereto.

                  10. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended,
changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the
part of Maker or Payee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought. Whenever used, the singular number
shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words "PAYEE" and
"MAKER" shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators. If Maker consists of more than one person or party, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and
several.

                  11. Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand
for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of
nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof and notice of
acceleration. No release of any security for the Debt or any person liable for
payment of the Debt, no extension of time for payment of this Note or any
installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of
the Loan Documents made by agreement between Payee and any other person or party
shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or
affect the liability of Maker and any other person or party who may become
liable under the Loan Documents for the payment of all or any part of the Debt.

                  12. The remedies of the holder hereof as provided in this Note
or in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or the other Loan Documents shall
be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or
together at the sole discretion of the holder hereof, and may be exercised as
often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the holder of this Note
to the remedies 

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

mentioned above.

                  13. Maker (and the undersigned representative of Maker, if
any) represents that Maker has full power, authority and legal right to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and that this Note, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and
binding obligations of Maker.

                  14. If any term or provision of this Note or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note or the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

                  15. All notices or other communications required or permitted
to be given pursuant hereto shall be given and shall be effective in the manner
specified in the Loan Agreement, directed to the parties at their respective
addresses as provided therein.

                  16. MAKER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY MAKER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.
PAYEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MAKER.

                  17. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage
and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Mortgagee in the event
Mortgagee acquires title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any foreclosure.

         3.       INSURANCE.

                  (a) Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, shall obtain and maintain during the entire
term of this Mortgage policies of insurance against loss or damage by fire and
lightning and against loss or damage by all other risks and hazards as required
and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.1 of the Loan
Agreement.

                  (b) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed,
in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Mortgagor shall

(unless such insurance proceeds have been used to repay the Debt in full), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Mortgaged Property

to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable
law. All amounts to be paid in connection with a Casualty under such policies

         5.       CONDEMNATION.

                  (a) Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding against the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof (a
"CONDEMNATION") and shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a
Condemnation, Mortgagor, regardless of whether an Award (as hereinafter defined)
is available, (unless such Award has been used to repay the Debt in full), shall

to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the
same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance
with applicable law.

attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,

Condemnation), Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the

         6.       LEASES AND RENTS.

                  (a) Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally assign to Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, all of
Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases
and Rents, it being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a
present, absolute and unconditional assignment and not an assignment for
additional security only. Such assignment to Mortgagee shall not be construed to
bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon
Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee such additional
instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, as may hereafter
be requested by Mortgagee to further evidence and confirm such assignment.
Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Paragraph, Mortgagee grants to
Mortgagor a license (revocable upon an Event of Default) to operate and manage
the Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED, however, that all Rents shall be sent to a
financial institution acceptable to Mortgagee for deposit into an account
designated and established by Mortgagee to secure repayment of the Debt, all in
accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan
Agreement. Any Rents collected by Mortgagor shall be held by Mortgagor in trust
for the benefit of Mortgagee for use in the payment of the Debt. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the following
provision shall apply:

                  (i) ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND PROFITS. As additional security
for the payment of the Debt and any amounts which Mortgagor is obligated to pay
Mortgagee pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor hereby assigns the rents and
profits from the Mortgaged Premises to Mortgagee (the "ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS").
Mortgagee may enforce the Assignment of Rents upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, as defined in this Mortgage, without regard to waste, adequacy of
security or the solvency of the Mortgagor. To enforce the Assignment of Rents,
Mortgagee may, at is option, either:

         (A)      Apply to a Minnesota District Court for the Judicial District
                  in which all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises are located
                  for the appointment of a receiver pursuant to Minnesota
                  Statute Section 559.17. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to the
                  appointment of a receiver upon a showing that an Event of
                  Default has occurred under the terms of the Mortgage and
                  without regard to waste, adequacy of security or the solvency
                  of the Mortgagor. If the Court appoints a receiver, the
                  receiver shall have the right to manage, operate and lease
                  (for terms of any duration) the Mortgaged Premises and shall
                  collect the rents and profits from the Mortgaged Premises from
                  the date of the appointment to the date of a Court Order
                  discharging the receiver. The receiver shall apply the rents
                  and profits collected:

                  (1)      To pay the expenses listed in clauses (1), (2) and
                           (3) of Minn. Stat.ss. 576.01, Subd. 2 in the priority
                           numbered;

                           576.01, subd. 2;

                  (3)      To pay Mortgagee for any amounts which Mortgagor owes
                           to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 7(i) or 9(a) of this
                           Mortgage the Loan Agreement;

                  (4)      To pay the holder of any prior mortgage for
                           installments of principal and interest as they become
                           due;

                  (5)      To pay the holder or any other prior liens or
                           encumbrance as payments on such liens or encumbrances
                           become due;

                  (6)      If application of the rents and profits is made
                           before the occurrence of a Sheriff's sale foreclosing
                           this Mortgage, to pay Mortgagee for amounts due under
                           the Debt;

                  (7)      If application of the rents and profits is made after
                           the occurrence of a Sheriff's sale foreclosing this
                           Mortgage and Mortgagee is not entitled to obtain a
                           deficiency judgment under Minnesota Statutes, Section

                           from foreclosure of this Mortgage;

                                            OR

                           If application of rents and profits is made after the
                           occurrence of a Sheriff's sale foreclosing this
                           Mortgage and the Mortgagee is entitled to obtain a
                           deficiency judgment pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,

                           payment of any deficiency for which the Mortgagee is
                           entitled to seek a judgment (whether or not Mortgagee

                           redemption of the Mortgaged Premises from the
                           foreclosure of this Mortgage;

                  (8)      If the application of rents and profits pursuant to
                           Section (6)(a)(i)(A)(6) and (6)(a)(i)(A)(7) above is
                           sufficient to pay all amounts due under the Note or

         (B)      File in the Office of the County Recorder, or in the case of
                  registered property, in the Office of the County Registrar of
                  Titles, a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default in
                  the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and serve the notice
                  of the occurrence of an Event of Default upon the occupiers of
                  the Mortgage Premises, and from and after the date of filing
                  and service through the date Mortgagee files and serves a
                  notice that Mortgagor has cured all Events of Default, collect
                  all rents and profits from the occupiers of the Mortgage
                  Premises, without regard to waste, adequacy of security or
                  solvency of the Mortgagor, and apply the rents and profits
                  collected in the manner provided for the application of
                  amounts which a receiver collects pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)A
                  above. Mortgagee's exercise of its rights under this paragraph
                  6(a)(i)(B) shall not cause Mortgagee to be deemed a mortgagee
                  in possession of the Mortgage Premises.

Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license herein granted may be
applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as
Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper. Mortgagee is obligated to
account only for such Rents as are actually collected or received by Mortgagee.
Neither the exercise by Mortgagee of any rights under this Paragraph nor the
application of any Rents to the Debt shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any
Event of Default hereunder. The assignment of Rents hereinabove granted shall
continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure and/or
redemption with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor has executed the
Assignment covering all of the right, title and interest of Mortgagor, as
landlord, in and to any Leases relating to all or portions of the Mortgaged
Property. All rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee under the Assignment
shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to
Mortgagee hereunder.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall duly and punctually comply with its
obligations under Section 5.1(t) of the Loan Agreement which sets forth certain
covenants of Mortgagor with regard to leasing of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c)      INTENTIONALLY DELETED

                  (d) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or
any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Mortgagor and,
if cash, shall be deposited by Mortgagor at such commercial or savings bank or
banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. Any bond or other
instrument which Mortgagor is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security
deposits under any applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full
force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash
deposits as hereinabove described, shall be issued by an institution reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee, shall, if permitted pursuant to any legal
requirements, name Mortgagee as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Mortgagee's
option, be fully assignable to Mortgagee) and shall, in all respects, comply
with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory
to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, upon request, provide Mortgagee with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee of Mortgagor's compliance with the
foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Mortgagor shall, upon Mortgagee's request, if

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

permitted by any applicable legal requirements, turn over to Mortgagee the
security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to
all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, to be held by Mortgagee subject to
the terms of the Leases.

         7. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; LICENSES. Mortgagor hereby represents
and warrants to Mortgagee as follows:

                  (a) The Property Management Agreement dated of even date (the
"PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), between Mortgagor and Glimcher Properties
Limited Partnership, as manager, pursuant to which such manager operates the
Mortgaged Property as a shopping center, is in full force and effect and there
is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto and
no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that,
with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
default, breach or violation by any party thereunder.

                  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
the Mortgagor's performance thereunder, the recordation of this Mortgage, nor
the exercise of any remedies by Mortgagee, will adversely affect Mortgagor's
rights under the Property Management Agreement.

                  (c) The Property Management Agreement complies with the 
requirements set forth in Section 5.1(v) of the Loan Agreement.

                  (d) All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals,
including, without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Mortgaged Property as
a retail shopping center, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

         8. MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall cause the
Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially
altered (except for normal replacement of the Improvements and Equipment)
without the consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly comply with all laws,
orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the use thereof,
including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Subject
to Section 3(b) and 5(a) hereof, Mortgagor shall promptly repair, replace or
rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that is destroyed by any Casualty, or
becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated, or that is affected by any Condemnation
and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of
construction or repair on the Premises. Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in,
acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant,
zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses
which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If under
applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will not cause or
permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the
express written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not (i) change the use of
the Mortgaged 

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Mortgaged
Property or to any portion thereof, or (iii) take any steps whatsoever to
convert the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or
cooperative form of management. Mortgagor will not install or permit to be
installed on the Premises any underground storage tank without Mortgagee's prior
written consent.

         9.       TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

                  (a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee, in agreeing to make
the Loan, has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of
Mortgagor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property, and
that Mortgagee will continue to rely on Mortgagor's ownership and operation of
the Mortgaged Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Mortgagor acknowledges that
Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property so as to ensure that, should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the
Debt, Mortgagee can recover all or a portion of the Debt by a sale of the
Mortgaged Property. Accordingly, except as permitted in the Loan Agreement,
Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, sell,
convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof or permit the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, to be sold, conveyed, alienated, mortgaged, encumbered, pledged or
otherwise transferred.

                  (b) A sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property within the meaning of this
Paragraph 9 shall be deemed to include: (i) an installment sales agreement
wherein Mortgagor agrees to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or
any interest therein for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement
by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the Mortgaged Property for
other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, or a sale, assignment
or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Mortgagor's right,
title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if Mortgagor or any
general partner or managing member of Mortgagor is a corporation, the voluntary
or involuntary sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
transfer of such corporation's stock (or the stock of any corporation directly
or indirectly controlling such corporation by operation of law or otherwise) or
the creation or issuance of new stock in one or a series of transactions; (iv)
if Mortgagor or any general partner or managing member of Mortgagor is a limited
or general partnership, joint venture or limited liability company, the change,
removal, resignation or addition of a partner, joint venturer or member or the
sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the
partnership interest of any partner or the sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the interest of any joint venturer
or member; (v) if Mortgagor is a limited or general partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust, nominee trust, tenancy in common or other
unincorporated form of business association or form of ownership interest, the
voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of an interest of any person having a direct legal or
beneficial ownership in Mortgagor, including any legal or beneficial interest in
any constituent partner or member of Mortgagor; 

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

transferring ownership to a cooperative corporation; and (vii) the dissolution
or termination of Mortgagor or any general partner or managing member of
Mortgagor or the merger or consolidation of Mortgagor or any general partner or
managing member of Mortgagor with any other person.

                  (c) Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual
impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order
to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Mortgagor's sale,
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the
Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee's consent. This provision shall apply to
every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of
the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not
Mortgagee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (d) Mortgagee's consent to one sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of Mortgagee's right to require such consent to any future
occurrence of the same. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property made in contravention of this
Paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

         10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Debt from
the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes
a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee's interest in the
Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. In the event Mortgagee is advised by counsel chosen by it that
the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful
or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of
usury, then, in any such event, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written
notice to Mortgagor of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable.

         11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Mortgagor will not claim or
demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any
part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged Property, or
any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the
assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for real estate
tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the Debt. In the event such claim,
credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option,
by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable.

         12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America,
any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or
other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any
intangible tax or any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

         13. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be
the intent of 

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

Mortgagor and Mortgagee at all times to comply with applicable state law or
applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Mortgagee to
contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than
under state law) and that this Paragraph 13 (with the similar provision
contained in the Note) shall control every other covenant and agreement in this
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal)
is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for
under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents or contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Mortgagee's
exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note or any prepayment
by Mortgagor results in Mortgagor having paid any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then it is Mortgagor's and Mortgagee's express
intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Mortgagee shall be
credited on the principal balance of the Note and all other Debt and the
provisions of the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents immediately
be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and
thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents,
so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or
agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment
in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not
exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

         14. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall observe and
perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Mortgagor pursuant to
the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the
Mortgaged Property.

         15. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Mortgagor will, at the cost of Mortgagor, and
without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation
statements, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring
and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby granted, bargained,
sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and mortgaged or intended now or hereafter
so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or
assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or
recording this Mortgage or for facilitating the sale and transfer of the Loan
and the Loan Documents as described in Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement.
Mortgagor, on demand, will execute and deliver, and Mortgagor hereby authorizes
Mortgagee to execute in the name of Mortgagor or without the signature of
Mortgagor to the extent Mortgagee may lawfully do so, one or more financing
statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments to evidence more effectively
the security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property. Upon foreclosure,
the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Mortgagor will, at
the cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee, cooperate fully and
completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit,
agreement or any other right necessary or 

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

useful to the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee
an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of
exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee
at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies
available to Mortgagee pursuant to this Paragraph.

         16. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC. Mortgagor forthwith upon the execution
and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this
Mortgage and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or
evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each instrument of
further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such
places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish
notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and
the interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will pay all
filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the
preparation, execution and acknowledgment, of this Mortgage, any mortgage
supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county
and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or
in connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any mortgage
supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law
so to do. Mortgagor shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors
and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any
tax on the making and recording of this Mortgage.

         17. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice to
Mortgagee of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Mortgagor or any general
partner or managing member of Mortgagor.

         18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due and
payable at the option of Mortgagee upon the happening of any one or more of the
following events of default (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"):

                  (a) any portion of the Debt is not paid when due;

                  (b) except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Loan
Agreement, any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid before delinquency and
payable;

                  (c) the Policies (as defined in the Loan Agreement) are not
kept in full force and effect, or certified copies of the Policies are not
delivered to Mortgagee within ten (10) days of request;

                  (d) except as expressly permitted in this Mortgage, Mortgagor
transfers or encumbers any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein without Mortgagee's prior written consent;

                  (e) any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor herein or
in any other 

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement or
other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Mortgagee shall have been
false or misleading in any material respect when made; provided, however, if
such false or misleading representation or warranty is susceptible of being
cured within thirty (30) days, the same shall be an Event of Default hereunder
only if the same is not cured within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30)
days after notice from Mortgagee;

                  (f) Mortgagor shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors;

                  (g) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for
Mortgagor or Mortgagor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or any
petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal
bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or
against, consented to or acquiesced in by Mortgagor, or any proceeding for the
dissolution or liquidation of Mortgagor shall be instituted; provided, however,
that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary
and not consented to by Mortgagor, then the same shall be an Event of Default
hereunder only if the same is not discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty
(60) days after the date of such appointment or adjudication, the date such
petition is first filed or the date such proceeding is instituted, as the case
may be;

                  (h) Mortgagor shall be in default under any other mortgage or
security agreement covering any part of the Mortgaged Property, whether it be
superior or junior in lien to this Mortgage;

                  (i) the Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any mechanic's,
materialman's or other lien except a lien for local real estate taxes and
assessments not then due and payable, (subject to Section 5.1(b) of the Loan
Agreement in the case of real estate taxes and assessments), unless a corporate
surety bond in form and with sureties satisfactory to Mortgagee, cash or other
security satisfactory to Mortgagee is posted therefor within sixty (60) days
after the filing of such lien, but in any event prior to the commencement of any
action to foreclose such lien, and such lien is removed (or bonded off) from the
Mortgaged Property within such sixty (60) days;

                  (j) Mortgagor fails to cure properly any violations of laws or
ordinances affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Mortgaged
Property within thirty (30) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of any
such violations; provided, however, that if such violation is susceptible of
cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and provided
further that Mortgagor shall have commenced to cure such violation within such
30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the
same and provided further that any governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the subject matter of such violation consents to a longer cure period, such
30-day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Mortgagor in the exercise of due diligence to cure such violation, such
additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days;

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

                  (k) except as expressly permitted in this Mortgage or the Loan
Agreement, the actual or threatened material alteration, improvement, demolition
or removal of any of the Improvements without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee;

                  (l) without Mortgagee's prior consent, (i) the property
manager for the Mortgaged Property under the Property Management Agreement (or
any successor property management agreement) resigns or is removed, or (ii) the
ownership, management or control of such property manager is transferred to
another person or entity, or (iii) there is any material change in the Property
Management Agreement (or any successor property management agreement);

                  (m) a default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable
cure period under the Property Management Agreement (or any successor property
management agreement) if such default permits the property manager to terminate
or cancel the Property Management Agreement (or any successor property
management agreement);

                  (n) Mortgagor ceases to do business as a retail shopping
center on the Mortgaged Property or terminates such business for any reason
whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in connection with any renovations to
the Mortgaged Property);

                  (o) Mortgagor fails to cure a default under any other term,
covenant or provision of this Mortgage not specified in clauses (a) through (n)
above, within ten (10) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of such
default in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of
money or within thirty (30) days after Mortgagor first receives notice of such
default in the case of any other default; provided, however, that if such
non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30-day period and provided further that Mortgagor shall have
commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall
be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Mortgagor in the
exercise of due diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to
exceed ninety (90) days; or

                  (p) Mortgagor shall be in default under any term, covenant or
provision of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Assignment or any of the other
Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents,
whether as to Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property, or any other such event shall
occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Mortgagee to
accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

         19. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any portion of the Debt is not paid on the
date on which it is due, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid portion of the Debt or
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order to defray a portion of
the expenses incurred by Mortgagee in handling and processing such delinquent
payment and to compensate Mortgagee for the loss of the use of such delinquent
payment, and such amount shall be secured by this Mortgage.

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

         20. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
or if Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided,
Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or
demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation
hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee
may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to
enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or
bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property
or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent
permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate for the period from the
date such cost or expense was incurred by Mortgagee to the date of payment to
Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee
upon demand.

         21.      REMEDIES.

                  (a) Subject to Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement and the
requirements of applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Mortgagee may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable
to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof, including, without limitation, the following
actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time
and in such order as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without
impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:



                  (i)      declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and
                           payable;

         specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained
         herein or in any of the other Loan Documents;

         and enter into or upon the Premises, either personally or by its
         agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Mortgagor and its agents
         and servants therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may (A) use, operate,
         manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

         deal with all and every part of the Mortgaged Property and conduct the
         business thereat, (B) complete any construction on the Mortgaged
         Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable, (C) make
         alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or
         on the Mortgaged Property, (D) exercise all rights and powers of
         Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, whether in the name
         of Mortgagor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to
         make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and
         demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents, and (E) apply the
         receipts from the Mortgaged Property to the payment of Debt, after
         deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
         and disbursements, any brokers' fees, any Gains Tax (as hereinafter
         defined) and any transfer taxes) incurred in connection with the
         aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes,
         insurance and Other Charges in connection with the Mortgaged Property,
         as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of
         Mortgagee, its counsel, brokers, agents and employees;

                  (ix) require Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee,
         or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable
         rental value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Mortgaged
         Property occupied by Mortgagor and require Mortgagor to vacate and
         surrender possession to Mortgagee of the Mortgaged Property or to such
         receiver and, in default thereof, evict Mortgagor by summary
         proceedings or otherwise; or

                  (x) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available
         at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code, including,
         without limitation, the right to receive and/or establish a lock box
         for all Rents and proceeds from the Intangibles and any other
         receivables or rights to payments of Mortgagor relating to the
         Mortgaged Property.

                  (xi) foreclose the lien of this Mortgage by advertisement
         pursuant to the procedures set forth in Minnesota Statutes Chapters 580

         the lien of this mortgage by advertisement and to the extent allowed by
         law, commence a District Court action to obtain a judgment for any
         deficiency.

                  (xii) foreclose the lien of this Mortgage by action pursuant

MORTGAGOR HEREBY: EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO THE FORECLOSURE AND SALE OF THE
MORTGAGED PREMISES BY ACTION PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA 

                                       19
<PAGE>   20


STATUTES CHAPTER 581 OR, AT THE OPTION OF MORTGAGEE, BY ADVERTISEMENT PURSUANT
TO MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 580, WHICH PROVIDES FOR SALE AFTER SERVICE OF
NOTICE THEREOF UPON THE OCCUPANT OF THE MORTGAGED PREMISES AND PUBLICATION OF
SAID NOTICE FOR SIX WEEKS IN THE COUNTY IN MINNESOTA WHERE THE MORTGAGED
PREMISES IS SITUATED; ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SERVICE NEED NOT BE MADE UPON MORTGAGOR
PERSONALLY (UNLESS MORTGAGOR IS AN OCCUPANT) AND THAT NO HEARING OF ANY TYPE IS
REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE; AND EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN SAID
STATUTES, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO PRIOR NOTICE OF SALE OF THE
MORTGAGED PREMISES AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A PRIOR HEARING OF ANY TYPE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE MORTGAGED PREMISES.

                  (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Paragraph 21, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee
under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Paragraph 21 or
otherwise, shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such
priority and proportion as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

                  (c) Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to
be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except
as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Mortgagee, without
further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which
the same shall be so adjourned.

                  (d) Any sale made by Mortgagee under or by virtue of this
Mortgage may be subject to such existing tenancies as Mortgagee, in its sole
discretion, may elect.

                  (e) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto,
Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and
deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and
transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and
rights sold. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so
sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of
conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with
like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney
or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale
or sales made under or by virtue of this Paragraph 21, whether made under the
power of sale granted under this Mortgage or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to
divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so
sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor
and against any and all persons 

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under
Mortgagor.

                  (f) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph
21, whether made under a power of sale or under or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of
paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the
sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to
deduct under this Mortgage.

                  (g) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of
this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens,
rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights,
powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.

                  (h) Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other
action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this
Paragraph 21 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in
Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.

                  (i) Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security
given by the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents in whole or
in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined in Mortgagee's
sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any
rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Mortgage or
any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right,
remedy or option provided in the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any
covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other
Loan Documents unless otherwise explicitly agreed by Mortgagee in writing. No
acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of
Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation for which Mortgagor is
liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with
respect to Mortgagor, or Mortgagor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale
of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, no forbearance on the part of
Mortgagee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion
of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, shall
operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the
remaining Mortgaged Property or the liability of Mortgagor to pay the Debt. No
waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to
the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Mortgagee in
exercising its rights and remedies under this Paragraph 21 (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid
by Mortgagor immediately upon notice from Mortgagee, with interest at the
Default Rate for the period from the date paid or incurred by Mortgagee until
repaid by Mortgagor, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of

                  (j) The interests and rights of Mortgagee under the Note, this
Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any
indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Mortgagee
may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise,
release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant

of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional
investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Mortgagee. The cost
of such inspections, if not paid for by Mortgagor following demand, may be added

         23.      SECURITY AGREEMENT.

                  (a) This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a
"security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The
Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights
and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has
granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Debt, a security
interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged
Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the
Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being referred to
in this Paragraph 23 as the "COLLATERAL"). Mortgagor hereby agrees with
Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance
satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances
as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably consider necessary to create,
perfect and preserve Mortgagee's security interest herein granted. This Mortgage
shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform
Commercial Code. As such, this Mortgage covers all items of the Collateral that
are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest
herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties
set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall
occur, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may
have, shall have and may exercise, immediately and without demand, any and all
rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform
Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to take
such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor
shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee
at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee
on demand any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and
in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. The proceeds
of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by
Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as
Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change
in name, identity or structure of any Mortgagor, such Mortgagor shall notify
Mortgagee thereof and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such
Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of
Mortgagee's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all
expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If
Mortgagee shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial
Code forms or continuation statements, Mortgagor shall, promptly after request,
execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation
statements as Mortgagee shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and
fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. Mortgagor hereby
irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing
or other statements signed only by Mortgagee, as secured party, in connection
with the Collateral covered by this Mortgage.

                  (b) Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right,
at Mortgagee's opinion:


                           (i) To proceed as to both the real and personal
         property covered by this Mortgage in accordance with Mortgagee's rights
         and remedies in respect of said real property, in which event (A) the
         provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code otherwise applicable to sale
         of the Collateral shall not apply, and (B) the sale of the Collateral
         in conjunction with and as one parcel with said real property (or any
         portion thereof) shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable manner
         of sale; or

                           (ii) To proceed as to the Collateral separately from
         the Premises and the Improvements, in which event the requirement of
         reasonable notice shall be met by mailing notice of the sale, postage
         prepaid, to Mortgagor or any other person entitled thereto at least ten
         (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of any of
         the Collateral.

         23A. FIXTURE FILING. The filing of this Mortgage shall constitute a
filing of a financing statement in the office wherein it is filed and a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this document may also be filed as a

         Description of real
         estate to which all or

         24. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. After and Event of Default, Mortgagee has
the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect
to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and
on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, decides should
be brought to protect their interest in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall,
at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security
instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation
rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt.

         25. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. All amounts due under this
Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff,
counterclaim (except for compulsory counterclaims) or any deduction whatsoever.

compulsory counterclaims) or deduction in any action or proceeding in which
Mortgagee is a participant, or arising out of or in any way connected with this
Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents, or the Debt.

         26. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have the
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action,
for a default or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action
was commenced.

         27.      MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS.

                  (a) Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law,
the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the
event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any
interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights
of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this
Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring
any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of
this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable
law. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not have or assert any
right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the exemption of homestead
or other exemption under any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in
effect, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage
to a sale of the Mortgaged Property, for the collection of the Debt without any
prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Mortgagee under the
terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds of sale of
the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatever. Further,
Mortgagor hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives, releases,
relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and future statutes of limitations
as a defense to any action to enforce the provisions of this Mortgage or to
collect any of the Debt secured hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  (b) Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the lien of this
Mortgage shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be
affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be
impaired by any acceptance by Mortgagee of any other security for any portion of
the Debt, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to
realize upon or protect any portion of the Debt or any collateral security
therefor. The lien of this Mortgage shall not in any manner be impaired or
affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge,
surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration,
changing, modification or disposition of any portion of the Debt or of any of
the collateral security therefor, and Mortgagee may foreclose, or exercise any
other remedy available to Mortgagee, without first exercising or enforcing any
of its other remedies under this Mortgage and any exercise of the rights and
remedies of Mortgagee hereunder shall not in any manner impair the Debt or any
of Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder.

         28. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to
Mortgagee that except as set forth in the environmental report delivered to
Mortgagee on the Closing Date in connection with the closing of the Loan: (a)
except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to cause a Material
Adverse Change the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance with all local,
state, federal and other governmental authority statutes, ordinances, codes,
orders, decrees, laws, rules and regulations pertaining to or imposing liability
or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation, contamination or
clean-up, including,

<PAGE>   27

without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976, as amended, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of
1986, as amended, the Hazardous Substances Transportation Act, as amended, the
Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Clean
Air Act, as amended, the Toxic Substance Control Act, as amended, the Safe
Drinking Water Act, as amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as
amended, any state super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes and all
regulations, orders and guidelines adopted in respect of the foregoing laws,
whether presently in force or coming into being and/or effectiveness hereafter
(collectively, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"); (b) the Mortgaged Property is not subject
to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or
action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to hazardous and/or toxic,
dangerous and/or regulated, substances, wastes, materials, raw materials which
include hazardous constituents, pollutants or contaminants, including, without
limitation, asbestos or any substance or material containing asbestos,
petroleum, tremolite, anthlophylie, actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls and
any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by
Environmental Laws or which are considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise
dangerous in terms of the health, safety or welfare of humans (collectively,
"HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES"); (c) to the best knowledge of Mortgagor no Hazardous
Substances are or have been (including, the period prior to Mortgagor's
acquisition of the Mortgaged Property) released, discharged, generated, treated,
disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from the
Mortgaged Property other than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (d) to
the best knowledge of Mortgagor no Hazardous Substances are present in, on or
under any nearby real property which could migrate to or otherwise affect the
Mortgaged Property; and (e) to the best knowledge of Mortgagor no underground

in possession of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor: (i) shall keep or cause the
Mortgaged Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances; (ii) shall keep or
cause the Mortgaged Property to be kept in compliance with all Environmental
Laws; (iii) shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing if Mortgagor shall become
aware of any Hazardous Substances on or near the Mortgaged Property and/or if
Mortgagor shall become aware that the Mortgaged Property is in direct or
indirect violation of any Environmental Laws and/or if Mortgagor shall become
aware of any condition on or near the Mortgaged Property which could pose a
threat to the health, safety or welfare of humans; and (iv) shall remove such
Hazardous Substances and/or cure such violations and/or remove such threats, as
applicable, as required by law (or as shall be required by Mortgagee in the case
of removal which is not required by law, but in response to the opinion of a
licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified
consultant engaged by Mortgagee), promptly after Mortgagor becomes aware of the
same, at Mortgagor's sole expense. The obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor
under this Paragraph 28 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or
assignment of this Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the
Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

         29. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING; REMEDIAL WORK. Mortgagor shall give
prompt written notice to Mortgagee of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any
party with respect to the 

                                       27
<PAGE>   28

presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under, from or about the Mortgaged
Property; (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Mortgagor
or the Mortgaged Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any
Hazardous Substance; and (c) Mortgagor's discovery of any occurrence or
condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged
Property that could cause the Mortgaged Property to be subject to any
investigation or clean-up pursuant to any Environmental Law. Mortgagor shall
permit Mortgagee to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Mortgaged Property in
connection with any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance, and Mortgagor
shall pay all attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in
connection therewith. Upon Mortgagee's request, at any time and from time to
time while this Mortgage is in effect, Mortgagor shall provide, at Mortgagor's
sole expense, an inspection or audit of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a
licensed hydrogeologist, a licensed environmental engineer or other qualified
consultant approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous
Substances and/or the violation or threatened violation of any Environmental
Laws at, on, in, under or near the Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED, however, that
Mortgagee may not require Mortgagor to provide such inspection or audit unless:
(i) Mortgagee is required by law to obtain such inspection or audit, (ii) such
inspection or audit is requested by Mortgagee in conjunction with a foreclosure
or other enforcement proceeding under the Loan Documents, or (iii) Mortgagee has
determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that reasonable cause
exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the
Mortgaged Property. If Mortgagor fails to provide any such inspection or audit
within sixty (60) days after such request, Mortgagee may order same, and
Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its employees and agents access to the
Mortgaged Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost
of such inspection or audit shall be added to the Debt and shall bear interest
thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. In the event that any environmental
site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit
recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any
Hazardous Substance, Mortgagor shall cause such operations and maintenance plan
to be prepared and implemented at Mortgagor's expense upon request of Mortgagee.
In the event that any investigation, testing, assessment, audit, site
monitoring, containment, clean-up, removal, restoration or other work of any
kind is reasonably necessary or desirable under an applicable Environmental Law
or otherwise required under this Mortgage in connection with any Hazardous
Substance (the "REMEDIAL WORK"), Mortgagor shall commence and thereafter
diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within thirty (30)
days after written demand by Mortgagee for performance thereof (or such shorter
period of time as may be required under applicable law). All Remedial Work shall
be performed by contractors approved in advance by Mortgagee and under the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Mortgagee. All costs and
expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Mortgagor, including, without
limitation, Mortgagee's reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. In the event
Mortgagor shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to
diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Mortgagee may, but shall
not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall be added to the
Debt and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

times strictly comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of
1988, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and
all rules, regulations and orders issued pursuant thereto, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for
Buildings and Facilities (collectively, "ACCESS LAWS").

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any
other document regarding Mortgagee's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which
would increase Mortgagor's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable
Access Laws without the prior written approval of Mortgagee. The foregoing shall
apply to tenant improvements constructed by Mortgagor or by any of its tenants.
Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of
Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to
Mortgagee.

                  (c) Mortgagor agrees to give prompt written notice to
Mortgagee of the receipt by Mortgagor of any complaints related to violation of
any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations
which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

         31. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided
herein or in the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses,
fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Mortgagee (other than as a direct result of Mortgagee's fraud or wilful
misconduct)by reason of: (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property
or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or

or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply
with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any labor or services
or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof; (f) the presence, disposal, escape, seepage,
leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any
Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under, from or affecting the Mortgaged 

                                       29
<PAGE>   30


Property, any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage
(real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Substance, and
any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order
relating to such Hazardous Substance; (g) any violation of Environmental Laws
which is based upon or in any way related to any Hazardous Substance at, on, in,
under, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation,
the costs and expenses of any Remedial Work, attorney and consultant fees and
disbursements, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs and litigation
expenses; (h) any failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any Access
Laws; (i) any representation or warranty made in the Note, this Mortgage or any
of the other Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as
of the date such representation or warranty was made; (j) any claim by brokers,
finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection
with any Lease or other transaction involving the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof or any liability asserted against Mortgagee with respect thereto; and
(k) the claims of any tenant of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any
person acting through or under any tenant or otherwise arising under or as a
consequence of any Lease. The indemnifications set forth in the preceding
clauses (f) and (g) shall include, without limitation, the costs of removal of
the Hazardous Substances before or after foreclosure or other taking of title to
the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee, additional costs required to take necessary
precautions to protect against the release of Hazardous Substances into the air,
any body of water or any other public domain or onto or under any other
property, costs incurred to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, and
any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Mortgaged Property
or any future reduction in the sale price of the Mortgaged Property by reason of
any matter set forth above in said clauses (f) or (g) of this Paragraph 31 to
the extent that such diminution in value or such future reduction in sale price
results in Mortgagee receiving less than the full amount of all principal,
interest and other sums payable by Mortgagor under the Loan, but shall
specifically not include any such costs relating to Hazardous Substances which
are initially placed on, in or under the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure or
other taking of title to the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee. Any amounts
payable to Mortgagee by reason of the application of this Paragraph shall be
secured by this Mortgage and shall become immediately due and payable and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by
Mortgagee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor under this
Paragraph 31 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this
Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Mortgaged
Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure but only to the
extent based on facts existing at the time Grantor owned the Mortgaged Property.

         32. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent
made hereunder shall be sent and shall be effective in the manner set forth in
the Loan Agreement.

         33. AUTHORITY. Mortgagor (and the undersigned representative of
Mortgagor, if any) represent and warrant that it (or they, as the case may be)
has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations pursuant to this Mortgage and to grant, bargain, sell, convey,
assign, transfer and mortgage the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms
hereof and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Mortgage on Mortgagor's
part to be performed; and Mortgagor represents and warrants that Mortgagor is
not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury Department
regulations, including temporary regulations.

         34. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any notices of
any nature whatsoever from Mortgagee except with respect to matters for which
the Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by Mortgagee to Mortgagor and except with respect to matters for which Mortgagee
is required by applicable law to give notice. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any
notice from Mortgagee with respect to any matter for which this Mortgage does
not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Mortgagee to
Mortgagor.

         35. REMEDIES OF MORTGAGOR. In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made that Mortgagee has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any
case where by law or under the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents
it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Mortgagee shall not be
liable for any monetary damages, and Mortgagor's remedies shall be limited to
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

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

         37. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations
hereunder by reason of: (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request
of Mortgagor or to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise
enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, the Loan Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of
the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the
Debt or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee
extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms
of the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Documents. Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its sole
discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any
portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the
right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclosure this Mortgage. The rights and
remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and
cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act
of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one
provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee shall not be
limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be
entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in
equity.

         38. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof, may not
be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally
or by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, but only
by an agreement in writing signed 

                                       31
<PAGE>   32

by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver,
extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

         39. LIABILITY. If more than one person signs this Mortgage as
Mortgagee, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall
be joint and several. Subject to the provisions hereof requiring Mortgagee's
consent to any transfer of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee and their
respective successors and assigns.

         40. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant or condition of the
Note or this Mortgage is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the Note and this Mortgage shall be construed without such provision.

         41. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of
this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed
as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions
hereof.

         42. DUPLICATE ORIGINALS. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of
duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to be an
original.

         43. DEFINITIONS. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent
or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage
may be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and (a) the word
"MORTGAGOR" shall mean "each Mortgagor and any subsequent owner or owners of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein," (b) the word
"MORTGAGEE" shall mean "Mortgagee and any subsequent holder of this Mortgage,"
(c) the word "NOTE" shall mean "the Note and any other evidence of indebtedness
secured by this Mortgage," (d) the word "PERSON" shall include an individual,

limitation, fees at the pre-trial, trial and appellate levels, incurred or paid
by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Mortgaged Property and the
Collateral and enforcing its rights hereunder. Whenever the context may require,
any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the
plural and vice versa.

         44. ASSIGNMENTS. Mortgagee shall have the right to assign or transfer
its rights under this Mortgage without limitation. Any assignee or transferee
shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded Mortgagee under this Mortgage.

         45. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. MORTGAGOR HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL
BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES 

                                       32
<PAGE>   33

ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR
HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE NOTE, THIS MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY MORTGAGOR, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH
INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE
ACCRUE. MORTGAGEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY
PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MORTGAGOR.

         46.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Any consent or approval by Mortgagee in any single
instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Mortgagee's consent or approval
in any like matter arising at a subsequent date, and the failure of Mortgagee to
promptly exercise any right, power, remedy, consent or approval provided herein
or at law or in equity shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the
same nor shall Mortgagee be estopped from exercising such right, power, remedy,
consent or approval at a later date. Any consent or approval requested of and
granted by Mortgagee pursuant hereto shall be narrowly construed to be
applicable only to Mortgagor and the matter identified in such consent or
approval and no third party shall claim any benefit by reason thereof, and any
such consent or approval shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a venturer
or partner with Mortgagor nor shall privity of contract be presumed to have been
established with any such third party. If Mortgagee deems it to be in its best
interest to retain assistance of persons, firms or corporations (including,
without limitation, attorneys, title insurance companies, appraisers, engineers
and surveyors) with respect to a request for consent or approval, Mortgagor
shall reimburse Mortgagee for all out of pocket costs (except after an Event of
Default, Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses)
reasonably incurred in connection with the employment of such persons, firms or
corporations.

                  (b) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that during the term of
this Mortgage, unless Mortgagee shall have previously consented in writing: (i)
Mortgagor will take no action that would cause it to become an "employee benefit
plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or
cause the assets of Mortgagor to constitute "plan assets" of one or more such
plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101; and (ii) Mortgagor
will take no action that would cause it to be a "governmental plan" within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and shall not engage in any transaction which
would subject Mortgagor to state statutes regulating investments of, and
fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. Mortgagor will not
sell, assign or transfer the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, to any transferee that does not execute and deliver to
Mortgagee its written assumption of the obligations of the foregoing covenants.
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Mortgagee harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense
(including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and the cost of correcting
any prohibited transaction or obtaining an appropriate exemption) that 

                                       33
<PAGE>   34

Mortgagee may incur as a result of Mortgagor's breach of the foregoing
covenants. These covenants and indemnity shall survive the extinguishment of the
lien of this Mortgage by foreclosure or action in lieu thereof provided such
indemnity relates to facts in existence prior to the extinguishment of the lien
of this Mortgage. In addition, the foregoing indemnity shall be a recourse
obligation of Mortgagor but not against its members and shall supersede any
limitations on Mortgagor's liability under any of the Loan Documents.

                  (c) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between
Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other
agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the
provisions of the Loan Documents.

                  (d) Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of
this Mortgage.

                  (e) Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that there
has not been committed by Mortgagor or to Mortgagor's knowledge any other person
in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Mortgaged Property
any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local
government the right of forfeiture as against the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Mortgagor's obligations under the
Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or
circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof,
Mortgagor hereby indemnifies Mortgagee and agrees to defend and hold Mortgagee
harmless from and against any loss, damage or injury by reason of the breach of
the covenants and agreements or the representations and warranties set forth in
this Paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of
formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Mortgagor or against
all or any part of the Mortgaged Property under any federal or state law for
which forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or of any monies
paid in performance of Mortgagor's obligations under the Loan Documents is a
potential result, shall, at the election of Mortgagee, constitute an Event of
Default hereunder without notice or opportunity to cure.

                  (f) The relationship between Mortgagor and Mortgagee is that
of a borrower and a lender only and neither of those parties is, nor shall it
hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint venturer or partner of the
other party.

                  (g) An Event of Default hereunder shall be a default under
each of the other Loan Documents.

                  (h) In the event the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent permitted by
law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for purposes of
redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is
located), bear interest at the Default Rate.

                  (i) This document may be construed as a mortgage, deed of
trust, chattel 

                                       34
<PAGE>   35

mortgage, conveyance, assignment, security agreement, pledge, financing
statement, hypothecation or contract, or any one or more of the foregoing, in
order to fully effectuate the liens and security interests created hereby and
the purposes and agreements herein set forth.

                  (j) In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings
affecting Mortgagor or the general partners, members or principals in Mortgagor,
or their respective creditors or property, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by
law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in
such proceedings for the entire secured Debt at the date of the institution of
such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable
by Mortgagor hereunder after such date.

         47. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

         48. MATURITY DATE. The maturity date of the Debt secured hereby is the
State Maturity Date.

         49. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Mortgage secures such future or additional
advances as may be made by Mortgagee or the holder hereof, at its exclusive
option, to Mortgagor or its successors or assigns in title for any purpose. All
such future advances shall be secured to the same extent as if made on the date
of the execution of this Mortgage and this Mortgage shall secure the payment of
the Note and any additional advances made from time to time pursuant hereto, all
of said Debt being equally secured hereby and having the same priority as any
amounts advanced as of the date of this Mortgage. It is agreed that any
additional sum or sums advanced by Mortgagee shall be equally secured with and
have the same priority as the original Debt and shall be subject to all of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Mortgage, whether or not such
additional loans or advances are evidenced by other promissory notes or other
guaranties of Mortgagor and whether or not identified by a recital that it or
they are secured by this Mortgage. It is further agreed that any additional
promissory note or guaranty or promissory notes or guaranties executed and
delivered pursuant to this Paragraph shall automatically be deemed to be
included in the term "NOTE" wherever it appears in the context of this Mortgage.

         50. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. All property acquired by Mortgagor after
the date of this Mortgage which by the terms of this Mortgage shall be subject
to the lien and/or the security interest created hereby, shall immediately upon
the acquisition thereof by Mortgagor and without any further mortgage,
conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security interest
created by this Mortgage. Nevertheless, Mortgagor shall execute, acknowledge,
deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such further
mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and assurances
as Mortgagee shall require for accomplishing the purposes of this Mortgage.

         51. CERTAIN RETAIL COVENANTS. Mortgagor further covenants and agrees
with Mortgagee as follows:

                  (a)      Mortgagor shall:

                  (i) promptly perform and/or observe all of the covenants and
         agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the
         Property Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve
         and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder;

                  (ii) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any default under
         the Property Management Agreement of which it is aware;

                  (iii) promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of each financial
         statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and
         estimate prepared by Grantor or Manager under the Property Management
         Agreement; and

                  (iv) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of
         the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed
         by the property manager under the Property Management Agreement.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's prior written
consent:

                  (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Property Management
         Agreement or otherwise replace the property manager under the Property
         Management Agreement or enter into any other management agreements with
         respect to the Mortgaged Property, PROVIDED, however, that Mortgagor
         may terminate or cancel the Property Management Agreement in accordance
         with the terms thereof so long as, prior to such termination or
         cancellation, Mortgagor has selected a replacement property manager and
         such replacement property manager has been approved by Mortgagee;

                  (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the
         Property Management Agreement;

                  (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any
         charges under the Property Management Agreement; or

                  (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or
         waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Property
         Management Agreement in any material respect which adversely effects
         Mortgagor's rights thereunder or Mortgagee's interest in the Mortgaged
         Property.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's prior written
consent, enter into transactions with any affiliate, including, without
limitation, any arrangement providing for

                                       36
<PAGE>   37

the managing of the Mortgaged Property, the rendering or receipt of services or
the purchase or sale of inventory, except any such transaction in the ordinary
course of business of Mortgagor if the monetary or business consideration
arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to Mortgagor as the
monetary or business consideration that Mortgagor would obtain in a comparable
transaction with a person not an affiliate of Mortgagor.

                  (d) Mortgagor will enter into and cause the property manager
to enter into an assignment and subordination of the Property Management
Agreement in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, assigning to Mortgagee all of
Mortgagor's rights and interest under the Property Management Agreement and
subordinating the property manager's interest in the Mortgaged Property and all
fees and other rights of the property manager pursuant to the Property
Management Agreement to this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and the
rights of Mortgagee hereunder and thereunder. If a monetary default or an Event
of Default shall occur, Mortgagor, at Mortgagee's request made at any time while
such monetary default or such Event of Default is continuing, shall terminate
the Property Management Agreement and replace the property manager with a
property manager approved by Mortgagee on terms and conditions satisfactory to
Mortgagee.

         52. LOCAL LAW.  INTENTIONALLY DELETED

         53. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS LOCATED
WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT THAT THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS) SHALL
GOVERN THE RESOLUTION OF ISSUES ARISING UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND NOTE TO THE
EXTENT THAT SUCH RESOLUTION IS NECESSARY TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS MORTGAGE.

                  Borrower in and to the items set forth in Subsections (a)
                  through (o) above.

                  AND without limiting any of the other provisions of this
Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower expressly grants
to Lender, as secured party, a security interest in the portion of the Property
which is or may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code
which are applicable to secured transactions; it being understood and agreed
that the Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land,
the Improvements and the Fixtures collectively referred to as the "REAL
PROPERTY") appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to
the Real Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Mortgage be deemed
conclusively to be real estate and mortgaged hereby.

                  Section 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and
interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by
Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not
an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms
of the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Mortgage, Lender grants
to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents.
Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all
current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.

                  Section 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real
property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined),
a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property to
the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property may
be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so
subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the "Collateral"). If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary
for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or
demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property)
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and
all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   7

or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing
its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition
or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to
Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business
days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable
law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition
of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by
applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority
and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Borrower's
(Debtor's) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and
the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

                  Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will
become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on
the Land, described or referred to in this Mortgage, and this Mortgage, upon
being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein
such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as
a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform
Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.

                  Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to
Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of
Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Lockbox
Account, the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the
Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Mortgage.

                               CONDITIONS TO GRANT

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

                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express
condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the
time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this
Mortgage, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in
this Mortgage and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every
covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof shall
survive any such payment or release.

                      Article 4 - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES

                  Section 4.1 RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The
relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor,
and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no
term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between
Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

                  Section 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower
are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the
Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and
business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.
Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.

                  Section 4.3 NO LENDER OBLIGATIONS. (a) Notwithstanding the
provisions of SUBSECTIONS 1.1(H) AND (N) or SECTION 1.2, Lender is not
undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any
obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates,
instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.

                  (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be
observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this
Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of
profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance
policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed
the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or
approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect
thereto by Lender.

                  Section 4.4 RELIANCE. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges
that in accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy
of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding
any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the
part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations
are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would
not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Mortgage in the absence of the
warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement.

                         Article 5 - FURTHER ASSURANCES

                  Section 5.1 RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower
forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from
time to time, will cause this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents
creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the
Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or
recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or
future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the
lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the
Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees,
and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or
recording of the Note, this Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed
of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect
to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or
amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and
municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any deed of trust
or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or
amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

                  Section 5.2 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of
Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver
all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall,
from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying,
assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights
hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed,
pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to
be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign
to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of
the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this
Mortgage, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand,
will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and
deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without
the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more
financing statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of
Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity,
including without limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender
pursuant to this SECTION 5.2. Nothing contained in this SECTION 5.2 shall be
deemed to create an obligation on the part of Borrower to pay any costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Securitization or other sale
or transfer of the Loan.

                  Section 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP
LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this
Mortgage which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose
of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt
or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower 

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12

will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is
advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be
unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a
defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less
than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and
payable.

                  (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other
Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction
shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or
any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the
Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall
have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120)
days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

                  (c) If at any time the United States of America, any State
thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other
stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Mortgage, or any of the other Loan
Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

                  Section 5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Mortgage and the Note
shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole
election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more
security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property
to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written
request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to
Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount of this Mortgage, and containing terms, provisions and clauses
similar to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and
instruments as may be required by Lender.

                  Section 5.5 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an
affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record,
and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such
Note or other Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement
Note or other Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and
otherwise of like tenor.


                       Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE

                  Section 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners,
members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will
continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   13

repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the
Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the
Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by
a sale of the Property.

                  Section 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower agrees that Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, convey, mortgage,
grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or
any part thereof or permit the Property or any part thereof to be sold,
conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise transferred, unless Lender shall consent thereto in accordance with
SECTION 6.4 hereof.

                  Section 6.3 SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED. A sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer within
the meaning of this Article 6 shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to,
(a) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property
or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by
Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer
of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to any Leases or any Rents; (c) the voluntary or involuntary sale,
conveyance, transfer or pledge of the stock of the general partner of Borrower
(or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such general
partner by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new
stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such general
partner's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now
stockholders; (d) the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or
pledge of any general or limited partnership interest in Borrower; (e) if
Borrower, any general partner of Borrower, any guarantor or any indemnitor is a
limited liability company, the change, removal or resignation of a member or
managing member or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any member or
managing member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest; or (f) any
other transfer prohibited by the terms of the Loan Agreement.

                  Section 6.4 LENDER'S RIGHTS. Lender reserves the right to
condition the consent required hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms
hereof and of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) an
assumption of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee, subject to the provisions
of Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement; (c) payment of all of Lender's reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with such transfer; (d) the confirmation in
writing by the applicable Rating Agencies that the proposed transfer will not,
in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any
Securitization; (e) the delivery of a nonconsolidation opinion reflecting the
proposed transfer satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; (f) the proposed
transferee's continued compliance with the representations and covenants set
forth in Section 4.1.30 and 5.2.12 of the Loan Agreement; (g) the delivery of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy
remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case may
be, following such transfers 

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   14

are in accordance with the standards of the Rating Agencies, or (h) such other
conditions as Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the
interest of Lender, including, without limitation, the creditworthiness,
reputation and qualifications of the transferee with respect to the Loan and the
Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of
its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the
Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower's sale, conveyance, mortgage,
grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property
without Lender's consent. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the
Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has
consented to any previous sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain,
encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property.


                  Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

                  Section 7.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such
action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce
its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not
limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole
discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Lender:

                  (a) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and
         payable;

         lien and security interest of this Mortgage for the balance of the Debt
         not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;

                  (d) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part
         thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of
         Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of

         such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as
         may be required or permitted by law;

                  (e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the
         specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained

                  (f) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or
         after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage or the other
         Loan Documents;

                  (g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
         liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without
         regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard
         for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor with respect to
         the Loan or of any Person, liable for the payment of the Debt;

                  (h) the license granted to Borrower under SECTION 1.2 hereof
         shall automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the
         Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and
         dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without
         liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and
         its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all
         books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower agrees to
         surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and
         accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use,
         operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and
         otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the
         business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in
         such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations,
         additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the
         Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect
         to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise,
         including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or
         modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect
         and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v)
         require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver

         otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the
         payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
         shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom
         all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in
         connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to
         pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in
         connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable
         compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and
         employees;

                  (i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a
         secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code,
         including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the
         right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal
         Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender
         may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
         Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property, and (ii) request
         Borrower at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, the
         Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place
         acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   16

         intended action by Lender with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment,
         the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the
         provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall
         constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;

                  (j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or
         otherwise by or on behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the
         Loan Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document to the payment
         of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

                           (i)      Taxes and Other Charges;

                           (ii)     Insurance Premiums;

                           (iii)    Interest on the unpaid principal balance of
                                    the Note;

                           (iv)     Amortization of the unpaid principal balance
                                    of the Note;

                           (v)      All other sums payable pursuant to the Note,
                                    the Loan Agreement, this Mortgage and the
                                    other Loan Documents, including without
                                    limitation advances made by Lender pursuant
                                    to the terms of this Mortgage;

                  (k) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under
         applicable law; or

                  (1) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds
         Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of
         the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem
         to be appropriate in its discretion.

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than
all of Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest on
the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.

                  Section 7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money,
proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof,
or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, to
the extent consistent with law.

                  Section 7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any
obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower, and without
releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such
manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security
hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon action or proceeding to the Property
for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to
protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect
the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees
to the extent 

                                      -15-

<PAGE>   17

permitted by law), with interest as provided in this SECTION 7.3, shall
constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon
demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event
of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or
bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate,
for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred
to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender
together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to
constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender
therefor.

                  Section 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to
appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the
Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of
Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect
its interest in the Property.

                  Section 7.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall
have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for
a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.

                  Section 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys
shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers
of Borrower which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at
any office regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are
located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts
from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall
have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining
to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business
hours at any office of Borrower where the books and records are located. This
SECTION 7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to
whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

                  Section 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to
insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any term of this Mortgage. Borrower shall not be relieved of
Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to
comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect
to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce
any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii)
the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the
Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii)
any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or
otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents.

                                      -16-

<PAGE>   18

                  (b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the
Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for
decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for
failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of
risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial
relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any
Property or collateral not in Lender's possession.

                  (c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender
thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights of Lender under this Mortgage
shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to
proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.
Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated
but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law
or in equity.

                  Section 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender
may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing
or affecting the lien or priority of this Mortgage, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion
of the Property.

                  Section 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in
material compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional
requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation,
monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

                  Section 7.10 RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender and other Indemnified
Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the obligations of
Borrower, any guarantor and indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4
herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to or
exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the
Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event Lender commences a foreclosure
action against the Property, Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment
with respect to such obligations against Borrower and any guarantor or
indemnitor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4

                                      -17-



<PAGE>   19

herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to any non-recourse
or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect
to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to
Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement. The
liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan
pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender
from foreclosing or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, whether
simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower pursuant to
Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement, whether
or not action is brought against any other Person or whether or not any other
Person is joined in the action or actions. In addition, Lender shall have the
right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so
elects, any administrative or judicial proceedings or actions initiated in
connection with any matter addressed in Article 8 or Section 9.4 herein.

                  Section 7.11 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to
Borrower, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the
Property at all reasonable times.

         pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan to Assignor the principal sum

         defined in the Assignment of Rents).

C.       Assignor, as debtor, executed that certain UCC-1 Financing Statement
         dated October 13, 1994 in favor of Lender, as secured party, which was
         filed with the California Secretary of State's Office on November 15,
         1994 as Instrument No. 9433661459 (the "Financing Statement"),

         or acquired by Assignor and relating to, generated from, arising out
         of, or incidental to, the ownership, development or operation of the
         Property or the improvements thereon.

D.       Assignor also executed and delivered to Lender that certain letter

         Section 2954.10 (the "Waiver Letter").

E.       The Note, Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Financing Statement,
         Waiver Letter and all other documents executed by Assignor and/or
         Lender in connection with the Loan are incorporated herein by this

         Documents".

         Nicholas, as indemnitor, and Lender, as indemnitee, entered into that
         certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated October 13, 1994 (the
         "Indemnity Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things,
         indemnitor made certain representations, warranties, covenants and
         indemnifications in favor of Lender relating to, among other things,
         the environmental condition of the Property. The Indemnity Agreement is
         incorporated herein by this reference.

G.       Assignor and Assignee have executed that certain Contribution Agreement
         dated June 16, 1998 (the "Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which
         Assignor agrees to assign to Assignee the Property.

         Assignee pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Assignee has agreed to
         assume, perform and otherwise be bound by all of the terms, covenants,
         conditions and obligations imposed upon Assignor under the Loan
         Documents and under the Indemnity Agreement; provided, however, that
         Assignor shall continue to be fully liable to Lender for all
         obligations of Assignor under the Loan Documents and of indemnitor
         under the Indemnity Agreement notwithstanding the assignment made
         herein.

I.       Lender is willing to consent to an assumption of the Loan Documents by
         Assignee on the terms and conditions described herein; provided,
         however, that Lender shall not be deemed to have released Assignor from
         any of its liability to Lender under the Loan Documents in any way due
         to this Assumption.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are
incorporated herein by this reference, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST. Assignor hereby grants, bargains, sells,
         conveys, transfers and assigns to Assignee, effective as of the date
         hereof, all of its right, title and interest under the Loan Documents.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assignor shall not be released from any
         liability of Assignor to Lender under the Loan Documents or of
         indemnitor under the Indemnity Agreement in any way due to this
         Assumption and Lender may proceed directly against either Assignor or
         Assignee for any obligations relating to the Loan Documents and against
         Assignor under the Indemnity Agreement as if this assignment had not
         occurred. Lender and Assignor agree that Assignor's liability to Lender
         under the Loan Documents or under the Indemnity Agreement shall not be
         diminished in any way due to Lender's acceptance of Assignee's
         performance under, or compliance with, the Loan Documents and the
         Environmental Indemnity Agreement referred to in Section 3(a).
         Assignor's liability to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be joint
         and several with Assignee and shall not be that of a surety of
         Assignee's obligations, except to the extent, if any, that such may be
         required by law.

2.       ASSIGNMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. Assignee hereby accepts such grant, transfer
         and assignment and assumes and agrees to perform and be bound by all of
         the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of Assignor under the
         Loan Documents.

3.       CONSENT OF LENDER. Lender hereby consents to this Assumption provided,
         that, on or before the closing of the purchase and sale of the
         Property, as contemplated in the Contribution Agreement, the following
         terms have been met:

         (a)      Assignee has duly executed and delivered to Lender an
                  Environmental Indemnity Agreement, an Authorization Agreement
                  for Preauthorized Payments, a California UCC-2 Amendment to
                  Financing Statement, or a new Financing Statement, if
                  necessary, a Form W-9, and a Certification of Non-Foreign
                  Status, all in a form acceptable to Lender;

         (b)      Lender has been provided by Assignee at Assignee's expense

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MORGANTOWN MALL ASSOCIATES LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP, an Ohio limited partnership, having its principal place of business
at c/o Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership, 20 South Third Street, Columbus,
Ohio 43215 (hereinafter referred to as "MAKER"), promises to pay to the order of
The Capital Company of America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, at its
principal place of business at Two World Financial Center, Building B, New York,
New York 10281 (hereinafter referred to as "PAYEE"), or at such place as the
holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of
FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($58,350,000), in lawful money of the United States of America, with interest
thereon to be computed on the unpaid principal balance from time to time
outstanding at the Applicable Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined), and to be
paid in installments as follows:

         A.       One installment of interest, in advance, only on the date
                  hereof, for the period commencing on (and including) the date
                  hereof and ending on (and including) September 10, 1998; and

         B.       A constant payment of $383,902.97 (such payment hereinafter
                  the "MONTHLY DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT AMOUNT"), on October 11,
                  1998 and on the eleventh day of each calendar month thereafter
                  (or, if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, the next day
                  which is a Business Day) up to and including the Maturity Date
                  (as hereinafter defined), each of such payments to be applied
                  (a) to the payment of interest on the unpaid principal balance
                  of this Note from time to time outstanding at the Initial
                  Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined) and (b) the balance to
                  the reduction of the outstanding principal sum; and

         C.       Payment of interest accrued at the Adjusted Interest Rate (as
                  hereinafter defined) and not paid pursuant to CLAUSE B above
                  shall be deferred and accrued monthly or paid in accordance
                  with Paragraph 7 hereof;

and the balance of said principal sum together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall be due and payable on September 11, 2028 (the "MATURITY
Date"). Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day
year. The payments of the Monthly 


<PAGE>   2

Debt Service Payment Amount required hereunder are based upon an amortization
term of three hundred sixty (360) months. All amounts due under this Note shall
be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever and
are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all
expenses, costs and charges incurred in collection or enforcement hereof,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs.

                  1. The term "APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE" as used in this Note
shall mean (a) from the date of this Note through but not including September
11, 2008, a rate of six and eighty-nine hundredths percent (6.89%) per annum
(the "INITIAL INTEREST RATE") and (b) from and after September 11, 2008 through
and including the date this Note is paid in full, a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted Interest Rate. For purposes of this Note, the term "ADJUSTED INTEREST
RATE" shall mean a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Treasury Rate
(as defined in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined)) plus four and five
hundreths percent (4.05%) and (ii) the Initial Interest Rate plus four and five
hundreths percent (4.05%). Also, for purposes of this Note, the term "OPTIONAL
PREPAYMENT DATE" shall mean September 11, 2008.

                  2. This Note is evidence of that certain mortgage loan made by
Payee to Maker contemporaneously herewith (the "LOAN") and is executed pursuant
to the terms and conditions of that certain Loan Agreement executed the date
hereof between Maker and Payee (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"). This Note is secured by,
among other things: (a) a Deed of Trust Assignment of Leases and Rents and
Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof, given by Maker, as grantor, to
Michael B. Keller, as trustee, for the benefit of Payee, encumbering the fee
estate of Maker in a certain property located in the District of Grant, County
of Monongalia, and State of West Virginia, as more particularly described
therein (the "MORTGAGE"), (b) an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of the
date hereof, executed by Maker in favor of Payee (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES"),
and (c) the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). Reference
is made to the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents
for a description of the nature and extent of the security afforded thereby, the
rights of the holder hereof in respect of such security, the terms and
conditions upon which this Note is secured and the rights and duties of the
holder of this Note. The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents and may enforce
the agreements contained therein and exercise the remedies provided therein or
otherwise in respect thereof, all in accordance with the terms thereof. Except
for the provisions and limitations set forth in Paragraph 9 of this Note, no
reference herein to any of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other
Loan Documents and no other provision of this Note or of the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Leases or the other Loan Documents shall alter or impair the
obligation of Maker, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal
of and interest on this Note at the time and place and at the rates and in the
monies and funds described herein. All of the agreements, conditions, covenants,
provisions and stipulations contained in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases
and the other Loan Documents which are to be kept and performed by Maker are by
this reference hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the
same force and effect as if they were fully set forth in this Note, and Maker
covenants and agrees to keep and perform the same, or cause the same to be kept

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

and performed, in accordance with their terms. All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

                  3. If any sum payable under this Note is not paid on the date
on which it is due, Maker shall pay to Payee upon demand an amount equal to the
lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law in order to defray a portion of the expenses incurred by Payee
in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Payee for
the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. If the day when any payment
required under this Note is due is not a Business Day, then payment shall be due
on the first Business Day thereafter. The term "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean a day
other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) any day on which national banks in
New York, New York are not open for business.

                  4. The whole of the principal sum of this Note, together with
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (all such sums hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "DEBT"), or any portion thereof, shall without notice become
immediately due and payable at the option of Payee if any payment required in
this Note is not paid on the date on which it is due or upon the happening of
any other Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In the event that
it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect or enforce the Debt or
to protect or foreclose the security therefor, Maker also shall pay on demand
all costs of collection incurred by Payee, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, and costs reasonably incurred for the services of counsel
whether or not suit be brought.

                  5. Maker does hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Payee shall be entitled to receive and Maker shall pay to
Payee (a) interest on the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note and any other
amounts (including interest to the extent permitted by applicable law) due at
the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and (b) on the eleventh day
of each month during which such Event of Default shall continue, an aggregate
amount equal to the Mortgaged Property Cash Flow (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) for the prior month (less any payments made to Payee pursuant to
clause (a) above from the Mortgaged Property Cash Flow for the prior month and
not including any Security Deposits to the extent any Tenant may have any right
to the return of such Security Deposit), such Mortgaged Property Cash Flow to be
applied by Payee to the payment of the Debt in such order as Payee shall
determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating
applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at the Default
Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the
actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then
due). Interest at the Default Rate, to the extent not paid, shall be added to
the Debt and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph, however, shall
not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of payment of
the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Payee by
reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. The acceptance of any payment
of Mortgaged Property Cash Flow shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default. Payee retains its rights under this Note and the
other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt
upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Mortgaged
Property Cash Flow.

                  6. Other than as set forth in Section 2.3.2 of the Loan
Agreement, this Note may not be prepaid prior to the Optional Prepayment Date;
PROVIDED, however, that Maker shall have the right and option to release all of
the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage in accordance with the
terms and provisions set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Loan Agreement
(the "DEFEASANCE OPTION"). On the Optional Prepayment Date or on any scheduled
payment date thereafter, Maker may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice from Maker to Payee, prepay in whole or in part the Debt
without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) or any other premium or penalty. If prior to the Optional Prepayment
Date and following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Maker shall tender
payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt, such tender by Maker shall
be deemed to be voluntary and Maker shall pay, in addition to the Debt, the
Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required under the Defeasance
Option. Each voluntary prepayment after the Optional Prepayment Date shall be
made on a scheduled payment date and include all accrued and unpaid interest up
to but not including such scheduled payment date or, if not paid on a scheduled
payment date, include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment
through the next regularly scheduled payment date. Any application of Insurance
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the Debt or any other prepayment
of the Debt permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.2 or Section 7.1.3 of the Loan
Agreement shall be without any prepayment consideration except that if at the
time of such application a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then Maker shall pay to Payee an additional amount equal to the
Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required under the Defeasance
Option.

                  7. In the event that Maker does not prepay the entire Debt on
the Optional Prepayment Date, Maker shall make payments in monthly installments
on the Optional Prepayment Date and on the eleventh day of each calendar month
thereafter (or, if such eleventh day is not a Business Day, the next day which
is a Business Day) up to and including the Maturity Date in an amount equal to
the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. Each Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount paid on and after the Optional Prepayment Date shall be applied first to
the payment of interest computed at the Initial Interest Rate with the remainder
of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount applied to the reduction of the
outstanding principal balance of this Note. Interest accrued at the Adjusted
Interest Rate and not paid pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 7
shall be deferred and added to the Debt and shall earn interest at the Adjusted
Interest Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law (such accrued interest,
with interest thereon, hereinafter "ACCRUED INTEREST"). Accrued Interest shall
be paid after payment of the principal balance of this Note in full pursuant to
Section 10.9.2 of the Loan Agreement. All of the Debt, including any outstanding
Accrued Interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

                  8. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Maker and Payee at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this paragraph shall control every other covenant and agreement in
this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. If the
applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially 

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or contracted
for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if
Payee's exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date or any prepayment
by Maker results in Maker having paid any interest in excess of that permitted
by applicable law, then it is Maker's and Payee's express intent that all excess
amounts theretofore collected by Payee shall be credited on the principal
balance of this Note and all other Debt and the provisions of this Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to
comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long
as the Debt is outstanding.

                  9. Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference and all of the provisions of this Note shall be subject thereto.

                  10. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended,
changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the
part of Maker or Payee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought. Whenever used, the singular number
shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words "PAYEE" and
"MAKER" shall include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators. If Maker consists of more than one person or party, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person or party shall be joint and
several.

                  11. Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand
for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, notice of
nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof and notice of
acceleration. No release of any security for the Debt or any person liable for
payment of the Debt, no extension of time for payment of this Note or any
installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of
the Loan Documents made by agreement between Payee and any other person or party
shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or
affect the liability of Maker and any other person or party who may become
liable under the Loan Documents for the payment of all or any part of the Debt.

                  12. The remedies of the holder hereof as provided in this Note
or in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or the other Loan Documents shall
be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or
together at the sole discretion of the holder hereof, and may be exercised as
often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall in no event be construed

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

as a waiver or release thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
limiting the holder of this Note to the remedies mentioned above.

                  13. Maker (and the undersigned representative of Maker, if
any) represents that Maker has full power, authority and legal right to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and that this Note, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and
binding obligations of Maker.

                  14. If any term or provision of this Note or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note or the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

                  15. All notices or other communications required or permitted
to be given pursuant hereto shall be given and shall be effective in the manner
specified in the Loan Agreement, directed to the parties at their respective
addresses as provided therein.

                  16. MAKER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY MAKER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.
PAYEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MAKER.

                  17. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

the Mortgaged Property unto Trustee, his substitutes or successors and assigns,
against the claim or claims of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any
part thereof;

                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express
condition that if Grantor shall well and truly pay to Beneficiary the Debt at
the time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed
of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall well and truly abide by and
comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein, in the Note,
in the Loan Agreement and in the other Loan Documents in a timely manner, then,
and in that event only, all rights under this Deed of Trust shall terminate
(except to the extent expressly provided herein with respect to indemnifications
and other rights which are to continue following the release hereof) and the
Mortgaged Property shall become wholly free of the liens, security interests,
conveyances and assignments created and evidenced hereby, and such liens and
security interests shall be released by Beneficiary in due form at Grantor's
cost.

                  AND, for the purpose of further securing the Debt and for the
protection of the security of this Deed of Trust, for so long as the Debt or any
part thereof remains unpaid, Grantor represents and warrants to and covenants
and agrees with Beneficiary as follows:

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

                  1. PAYMENT OF DEBT AND INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS
AND AGREEMENTS. Grantor shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Note,
the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this
Deed of Trust to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth
herein.

                  2. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Grantor hereby warrants that: (a)
Grantor has good, marketable and insurable title to the Mortgaged Property; (b)
Grantor has the full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Deed of Trust and to encumber, grant, bargain, sell,
convey, assign and mortgage the Mortgaged Property in the manner and form hereby
done or intended; (c) Grantor possesses an unencumbered fee simple estate in the
Premises and the Improvements and Grantor owns the Mortgaged Property free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for those
exceptions shown in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Deed of
Trust; and (d) this Deed of Trust is and will remain a valid and enforceable
first lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property, subject only to
those exceptions shown in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this
Deed of Trust. Grantor shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and
the validity and priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall forever
warrant and defend the same to Trustee and Beneficiary against the claims of all
persons whomsoever. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Beneficiary in the event Beneficiary acquires title to the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to any foreclosure.

         3.       INSURANCE.

                  (a) Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Grantor and Beneficiary, shall obtain and maintain during the entire
term of this Deed of Trust policies of insurance against loss or damage by fire
and lightning and against loss or damage by all other risks and hazards as
required and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.1 of the
Loan Agreement.

                  (b) If the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or destroyed,
in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Grantor shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary. Following the occurrence of a
Casualty, Grantor, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available,
(unless such insurance proceeds have been used to repay the Debt in full), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Mortgaged Property
to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior
to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable
law. All amounts to be paid in connection with a Casualty under such policies
shall be governed by the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

          4. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. Subject to Section 5.1(b) of the
Loan Agreement, Grantor shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates and sewer
rents now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof (the "TAXES"), and all maintenance charges, ground
rents, impositions other than Taxes and other charges, including, without
limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and
similar areas adjoining the Premises, now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (the "OTHER
Charges"), before delinquency; PROVIDED, however, that Grantor's obligation to
directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Grantor complies with the
terms and provisions of Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement.

         5.       CONDEMNATION.

                  (a) Grantor shall promptly give Beneficiary written notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding against the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof (a
"CONDEMNATION") and shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of any and all papers
served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a
Condemnation, Grantor, regardless of whether an Award (as hereinafter defined)
is available, (unless such Award has been used to repay the Debt in full), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Mortgaged Property
to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the
same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance
with applicable law.

                  (b) Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably appointed as Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment ("AWARD") for any taking accomplished
through a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection
with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Deed of Trust and
section 7.1.3(b) of the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any taking in connection
with a Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including, without
limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a
Condemnation), Grantor shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for in the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any
Award shall have been actually received and applied by Beneficiary to expenses
of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Beneficiary shall not be
limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall
be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in the Note. All amounts to be paid in connection with a Condemnation shall be
governed by the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

         6.       LEASES AND RENTS.

                  (a) Grantor does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally assign to Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, all of
Grantor's right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and
Rents, it being intended by Grantor that this assignment constitutes a present,
absolute and unconditional assignment and not an 

                                       7
<PAGE>   8


assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Beneficiary shall
not be construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any
obligation upon Beneficiary. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to
Beneficiary such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to
Beneficiary, as may hereafter be requested by Beneficiary to further evidence
and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this
Paragraph, Beneficiary grants to Grantor a license (revocable upon an Event of
Default) to operate and manage the Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED, however, that
all Rents shall be sent to a financial institution acceptable to Beneficiary for
deposit into an account designated and established by Beneficiary to secure
repayment of the Debt, all in accordance with the terms, covenants and
conditions contained in the Loan Agreement. Any Rents collected by Grantor shall
be held by Grantor in trust for the benefit of Beneficiary for use in the
payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined), without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Grantor
herein shall automatically be revoked, and Beneficiary shall immediately be
entitled to take possession of the Leases and receive and apply all Rents,
whether or not Beneficiary enters upon or takes control of the Mortgaged
Property. Beneficiary is hereby granted and assigned by Grantor the right, at
its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect
the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license herein
granted may be applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and
proportions as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper.
Beneficiary is obligated to account only for such Rents as are actually
collected or received by Beneficiary. Neither the exercise by Beneficiary of any
rights under this Paragraph nor the application of any Rents to the Debt shall
cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder. The assignment of
Rents hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any
period of foreclosure and/or redemption with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
Grantor has executed the Assignment covering all of the right, title and
interest of Grantor, as landlord, in and to any Leases relating to all or
portions of the Mortgaged Property. All rights and remedies granted to
Beneficiary under the Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all
rights and remedies granted to Beneficiary hereunder.

                  (b) Grantor shall duly and punctually comply with its
obligations under Section 5.1(t) of the Loan Agreement which sets forth certain
covenants of Grantor with regard to leasing of the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or
any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Grantor and, if
cash, shall be deposited by Grantor at such commercial or savings bank or banks
as may be reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Any bond or other instrument
which Grantor is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any
applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in
the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove
described, shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary, shall, if permitted pursuant to any legal requirements, name
Beneficiary as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Beneficiary's option, be
fully assignable to Beneficiary) and shall, in all respects, comply with any
applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary. Grantor shall, upon request, provide Beneficiary with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary of Grantor's compliance with the
foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Grantor shall, upon Beneficiary's request, if permitted by any
applicable legal 

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

requirements, turn over to Beneficiary the security deposits (and any interest
theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property, to be held by Beneficiary subject to the terms of the Leases.

                  7. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; LICENSES. Grantor hereby
represents and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:

                  (a) The Property Management Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Grantor, Glimcher Properties Limited
Partnership, as manager, and Glimcher Development Corporation, as services
provider, pursuant to which such manager operates the Mortgaged Property as
retail shopping centers, is in full force and effect and there is no default,
breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto and no event has
occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or
violation by any party thereunder.

                  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
the Grantor's performance thereunder, the recordation of this Deed of Trust, nor
the exercise of any remedies by Beneficiary, will adversely affect Grantor's
rights under the Management Agreement.

                  (c) The Property Management Agreement complies with the
requirements set forth in Section 5.1(v) of the Loan Agreement.

                  (d) All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals,
including, without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Mortgaged Property as
retail shopping centers, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

                  8. MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Grantor shall cause the
Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially
altered (except for normal replacement of the Improvements and Equipment)
without the consent of Beneficiary, Grantor shall promptly comply with all laws,
orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the use thereof,
including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Subject
to Section 3(b) and 5(a) hereof, Grantor shall promptly repair, replace or
rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that is destroyed by any Casualty, or
becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated, or that is affected by any Condemnation
and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of
construction or repair on the Premises. Grantor shall not initiate, join in,
acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant,
zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses
which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If under
applicable zoning provisions the use of 

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming
use, Grantor will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued
or abandoned without the express written consent of Beneficiary. Grantor shall
not (i) change the use of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) permit or suffer to occur
any waste on or to the Mortgaged Property or to any portion thereof, or (iii)
take any steps whatsoever to convert the Mortgaged Property, or any portion
thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management. Grantor will not
install or permit to be installed on the Premises any underground storage tank
without Beneficiary's prior written consent.

                  9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY.

                  (a) Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary, in agreeing to make
the Loan, has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of
Grantor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property, and
that Beneficiary will continue to rely on Grantor's ownership and operation of
the Mortgaged Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Grantor acknowledges that
Beneficiary has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged
Property so as to ensure that, should Grantor default in the repayment of the
Debt, Beneficiary can recover all or a portion of the Debt by a sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. Accordingly, except as permitted in the
Loan Agreement, Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise
transfer the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or permit the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof to be sold, conveyed, alienated, mortgaged,
encumbered, pledged or otherwise transferred.

                  (b) A sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer within the meaning of this Paragraph 9 shall be deemed to
include: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Grantor agrees to sell the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein for a price to be
paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Grantor leasing all or a substantial
part of the Mortgaged Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant
thereunder, or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a
security interest in, Grantor's right, title and interest in and to any Leases
or any Rents; (iii) if Grantor or any general partner or managing member of
Grantor is a corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of such corporation's
stock (or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such
corporation by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new
stock in one or a series of transactions; (iv) if Grantor or any general partner
or managing member of Grantor is a limited or general partnership, joint venture
or limited liability company, the change, removal, resignation or addition of a
partner, joint venturer or member or the sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the partnership interest of any partner or
the sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of
the interest of any joint venturer or member; (v) if Grantor is a limited or
general partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, nominee
trust, tenancy in common or other unincorporated form of business association or
form of ownership interest, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of a controlling interest
of any person having a direct legal or beneficial ownership in 

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Grantor, including any legal or beneficial interest in any constituent partner
or member of Grantor; (vi) any instrument subjecting the Mortgaged Property to a
condominium regime or transferring ownership to a cooperative corporation; and
(vii) the dissolution or termination of Grantor or any general partner or
managing member of Grantor or the merger or consolidation of Grantor or any
general partner or managing member of Grantor with any other person.

                  (c) Beneficiary shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Grantor's sale,
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof without Beneficiary's consent. This
provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Beneficiary has
consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

                  (d) Beneficiary's consent to one sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to require
such consent to any future occurrence of the same. Any sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof made in contravention of this Paragraph shall be null and
void and of no force and effect.

                  10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted
or adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which deducts the
Debt from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation or
which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Beneficiary's
interest in the Mortgaged Property, Grantor will pay such tax, with interest and
penalties thereon, if any. In the event Beneficiary is advised by counsel chosen
by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Grantor would be
unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary or unenforceable or provide the basis for a
defense of usury, then, in any such event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by
written notice to Grantor of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable.

                  11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Grantor will not claim
or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any
part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged Property, or
any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the
assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for real estate
tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the Debt. In the event such
claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Beneficiary shall have the
option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt
immediately due and payable.

                  12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of
America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require
revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Deed of Trust, or
impose any intangible tax or 

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

any other tax or charge on the same, Grantor will pay for the same, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any.

                  13. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and
agreed to be the intent of Grantor and Beneficiary at all times to comply with
applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that
it permits Beneficiary to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a
greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Paragraph 13
(with the similar provision contained in the Note) shall control every other
covenant and agreement in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. If
the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other
Loan Documents or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with
respect to the Debt, or if Beneficiary's exercise of the option to accelerate
the maturity of the Note or any prepayment by Grantor results in Grantor having
paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is
Grantor's and Beneficiary's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore
collected by Beneficiary shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note
and all other Debt and the provisions of the Note, this Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder
or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use,
forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
stated term of the Debt until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from
time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding.

                  14. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Grantor shall observe and
perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Grantor pursuant to
the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the
Mortgaged Property.

                  15. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Grantor will, at the cost of Grantor,
and without expense to Beneficiary, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation
statements, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring
and confirming unto Beneficiary the property and rights hereby granted,
bargained, sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and mortgaged or intended now
or hereafter so to be, or which Grantor may be or may hereafter become bound to
convey or assign to Beneficiary, or for carrying out the intention or
facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or for filing,
registering or recording this Deed of Trust or for facilitating the sale and
transfer of the Loan and the Loan Documents as described in Section 9.1 of the
Loan Agreement. Grantor, on demand, will execute and deliver, and Grantor hereby
authorizes Beneficiary to execute in the name of Grantor or without the
signature of Grantor to the extent 

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Beneficiary may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel
mortgages or other instruments to evidence more effectively the security
interest of Beneficiary in the Mortgaged Property. Upon foreclosure, the
appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Grantor will, at the
cost of Grantor and without expense to Beneficiary, cooperate fully and
completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit,
agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the
Mortgaged Property. Grantor grants to Beneficiary an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Beneficiary at law and in equity,
including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Beneficiary
pursuant to this Paragraph.

                  16. RECORDING OF DEED OF TRUST, ETC. Grantor forthwith upon
the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to
time, will cause this Deed of Trust and any security instrument creating a lien
or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property
and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in
such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law
in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Mortgaged Property. Grantor
will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident
to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment, of this Deed of Trust, any
deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Mortgaged Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal,
state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Deed of
Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with
respect to the Mortgaged Property or any instrument of further assurance, except
where prohibited by law so to do. Grantor shall hold harmless and indemnify
Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by
reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Deed of
Trust.

                  17. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Grantor agrees to give prompt
notice to Beneficiary of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Grantor or any
general partner or managing member of Grantor.

                  18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due
and payable at the option of Beneficiary upon the happening of any one or more
of the following events of default (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"):

                  (a) any portion of the Debt is not paid when due;

                  (b) except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Loan

prior written consent;

                  (e) any representation or warranty of Grantor made herein or
in any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement or
other instrument, agreement or document furnished to Beneficiary shall have been
false or misleading in any material respect when made; provided, however, if
such false or misleading representation or warranty is susceptible of being
cured within thirty (30) days, the same shall be an Event of Default hereunder
only if the same is not cured within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30)
days after notice from Lender;

                  (f) Grantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors;

                  (g) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for
Grantor or Grantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or any petition
for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy
law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against,
consented to or acquiesced in by Grantor or any proceeding for the dissolution
or liquidation of Grantor shall be instituted; PROVIDED, however, that if such
appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not
consented to by Grantor, then the same shall be an Event of Default hereunder
only if the same is not discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days
after the date of such appointment or adjudication, the date such petition is
first filed or the date such proceeding is instituted, as the case may be;

                  (h) Grantor shall be in default under any other deed of trust
or security agreement covering any part of the Mortgaged Property whether it be
superior or junior in lien to this Deed of Trust;

                  (i) the Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any mechanic's,
materialman's or other lien except a lien for local real estate taxes and
assessments not then due and payable, (subject to Section 5.1(b) of the Loan
Agreement in the case of real estate taxes and assessments), unless a corporate
surety bond in form and with sureties satisfactory to Beneficiary, cash or other
security satisfactory to Beneficiary is posted therefor within sixty (60) days
after the filing of such lien, but in any event prior to the commencement of any
action to foreclose such lien, and such lien is removed from the Mortgaged
Property within such sixty (60) days;

                  (j) Grantor fails to cure properly any violations of laws or
ordinances affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Mortgaged
Property within thirty (30) days after Grantor first receives notice of any such
violations; PROVIDED, however, that if such violation is susceptible of cure but
cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and PROVIDED further that
Grantor shall have commenced to cure such violation within such 30-day period
and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same and
PROVIDED further that any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
subject matter of such violation consents to a longer cure period, such 30-day
period shall 

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Grantor in the exercise
of due diligence to cure such violation, such additional period not to exceed
ninety (90) days;

                  (k) except as expressly permitted in this Deed of Trust or the

or (iii) there is any material change in the Property Management Agreement (or
any successor property management agreement);

                  (m) except as otherwise permitted in the Loan Agreement, a
default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period under the
Property Management Agreement (or any property successor management agreement)
if such default permits the manager to terminate or cancel the Property
Management Agreement (or any successor property management agreement);

                  (n) Grantor ceases to do business as retail shopping centers
on the Mortgaged Property or terminates such business for any reason whatsoever
(other than temporary cessation in connection with any renovations to the
Mortgaged Property);

                  (o) Grantor fails to cure a default under any other term,

default in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of
money only or within thirty (30) days after Grantor first receives notice of
such default in the case of any other default; PROVIDED, however, that if such
non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30-day period and PROVIDED further that Grantor shall have commenced
to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and

for such time as is reasonably necessary for Grantor in the exercise of due
diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90)

occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Beneficiary to
accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

                  19. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any portion of the Debt is not
paid on the date on which it is due, Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary upon
demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid
portion of the Debt or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order
to defray a portion of the 

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

expenses incurred by Beneficiary in handling and processing such delinquent

interest payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be secured by this Mortgage.

                  20. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default or if Grantor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein
provided, Beneficiary may, but without any obligation to do so and without
notice to or demand on Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation
hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary
may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Beneficiary is authorized to
enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or
bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property
or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent
permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) for the period from the date such cost or expense was incurred by
Beneficiary to the date of payment to Beneficiary, shall constitute a portion of
the Debt, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents
and shall be due and payable to Beneficiary upon demand.

         21.      REMEDIES.

                  (a) Subject to Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement and the
requirements of applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Beneficiary shall have the right, forthwith, at Beneficiary's election, by and
through the Trustee or otherwise, to exercise any and all rights and remedies
granted to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Note, the Loan Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary at law or
in equity, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not
exclusive, and which shall include, without limitation, the following:

                             (i) Beneficiary shall have the right forthwith, at
         Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, to
         declare the entire indebtedness of Grantor under the Note immediately
         due and payable; and, in any such case, the prepayment premium, if any,
         which would have been applicable to a voluntary prepayment of such
         indebtedness at the time of such declaration by Beneficiary shall be
         treated as part of the indebtedness secured hereby and added to and
         become a part of the principal thereof.

                             (ii) Beneficiary shall have the right, forthwith,
         at Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, and
         without further notice or demand and without the commencement of any
         action to foreclose this Deed of Trust, to enter immediately upon and
         take possession of the Mortgaged Property

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

         without further consent or assignment by Grantor, with the right to
         lease the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to collect and
         receive all of the Rents and all other amounts past due, due or to
         become due to Grantor by reason of Grantor's ownership of the Mortgaged
         Property, and to apply the same, after the payment of all necessary
         charges and expenses in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged
         Property (including any managing agent's commission, at the option of
         Beneficiary), on account of interest and principal amortization under
         the Note, taxes, payments in lieu of taxes, water and sewer charges,
         assessments and insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged
         Property, and any advance made by Beneficiary for improvements,
         alterations or repairs to the Mortgaged Property or on account of any
         other Debt hereby secured. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints
         Beneficiary as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to institute summary
         proceedings against any tenant, licensee, concessionaire or other
         occupant of any portion of the Mortgaged Property who shall fail to
         comply with the provisions of any covenant, agreement or condition
         applicable to the possession or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property by
         such tenant, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant. If Grantor or
         any other person claiming by, through or under Grantor is occupying all
         or any part of the Mortgaged Property, it is hereby agreed that Grantor
         and each such other person shall, at the option of Beneficiary, either
         immediately surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to
         Beneficiary and vacate the part of the Mortgaged Property so occupied
         or pay a reasonable rental for the use thereof, monthly in advance, to
         Beneficiary.

                             (iii) Beneficiary shall have the right forthwith,
         at Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, to
         sell or offer for sale the Mortgaged Property in such portions, order
         and parcels as Beneficiary may determine, with or without having first
         taken possession of same, at public auction for cash or cash
         equivalent, including, without limitation, for certified checks, bank
         drafts, wire transfer funds, cashier checks and any other method of
         payment which, in the sole discretion of Beneficiary, is "cash
         equivalent", to the highest and best bidder during legal hours, at any
         front door of the county courthouse of the county in which the Premises
         are situated after having advertised and given notice of said sale,
         giving the time, place and terms thereof, together with a description
         of the Premises according to the laws of the state where the Mortgaged
         Property is located which govern sales of land under deeds of trust in
         force at the time the publication of said notice has begun. If the
         Premises are situated in two or more counties or in two judicial
         districts of the same county, then the Trustee shall have the power, in
         case the Trustee is directed to foreclose under this Deed of Trust, to
         select in which county, or judicial district, the sale of all the
         Mortgaged Property shall be made, and the selection shall be binding
         upon Grantor and Beneficiary and all persons claiming through or under
         them, whether by contract or by law. The Trustee shall have full power
         to fix the day, time and place of sale, and may sell the Mortgaged
         Property in parcels or as a whole as the Trustee may deem best. The
         Trustee shall have full power to conduct any sale through an agent
         appointed by the Trustee for such purpose, but said appointment of
         agent need not be recorded. At any such sale: (A) the Trustee shall not
         be

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

         required to have physically present, or to have constructive possession
         of, the Mortgaged Property (Grantor hereby covenanting and agreeing to
         deliver to the Trustee any portion of the Mortgaged Property not
         actually or constructively possessed by the Trustee immediately upon
         demand by the Trustee) and the title to and right of possession of any
         such Mortgaged Property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as
         completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered to
         the purchaser at such sale; (B) the Trustee may, from time to time,
         adjourn said sale to a later date without readvertising, by giving
         notice of the time and place of such continued sale at the time when
         and where the Trustee shall make such adjournment; (C) each and every
         recital contained in any instrument of conveyance made by the Trustee
         shall conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters
         recited therein, including, without limitation, nonpayment of the Debt
         secured by this Deed of Trust, advertisement and conduct of such sale
         in the manner provided herein and otherwise by law and by appointment
         of any successor Trustee hereunder; (D) any and all prerequisites to
         the validity of such sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been
         performed; (E) the receipt of the Trustee or of such other party making
         the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for its or
         his purchase money and no such purchaser, or its or his assigns,
         successors or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated
         to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way
         answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof; (F)
         Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of
         Grantor's right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either
         at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be
         a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against
         any and all other persons claiming or to claim the Mortgaged Property
         sold or any part thereof; (G) Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any
         such sale; and (H) the Trustee, in Beneficiary's name or as the
         attorney of Grantor (the Trustee being for that purpose by this Deed of
         Trust duly and irrevocably authorized and appointed as Grantor's agent
         and attorney in fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of
         substitution, delegation and revocation) to make, execute, acknowledge
         and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof a good and
         sufficient deed or deeds of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and to
         receive the proceeds of such sale or sales.

                  Should the Mortgaged Property be sold in one or more parcels
         as permitted herein, the right of sale arising out of any Event of
         Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales, but other
         and successive sales may be made until all of the Mortgaged Property
         has been sold or until the Debt secured by this Deed of Trust has been
         fully satisfied.

                  Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
         releases: (A) all benefits that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of
         any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property from
         attachment, levy or sale or execution or providing for any
         appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil
         process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (B) all notices
         of any Event of Default or of the Trustee's exercise of any right,
         remedy or recourse provided for hereunder or under any of the other
         Loan 

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

         Documents, (unless the Loan Documents explicitly require any such
         notice to be given to Grantor; and (C) any right to a marshalling of
         assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

                             (iv) Beneficiary shall have the right forthwith, at
         Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, to
         institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific
         performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or
         in any of the other Loan Documents.

                             (v) Beneficiary shall have the right forthwith, at
         Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, to
         apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or
         conservator of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without
         regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard
         for the solvency of Grantor or of any person, firm or other entity
         liable for the payment of the Debt.

                             (vi) Beneficiary shall have the right forthwith, at
         Beneficiary's election, by and through the Trustee or otherwise, to
         notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper,
         negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Grantor
         included in the Mortgaged Property to pay Beneficiary directly.

                  (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by Beneficiary
under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this Paragraph or
otherwise, shall be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such
priority and proportion as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

                  (c) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Paragraph,
whether made under a power of sale or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings
or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and
acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash
therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt
the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs
of the action and any other sums which Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under
this Deed of Trust or by law.

                  (d) No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of
an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Grantor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this
Deed of Trust upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens,
rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights,
powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before.

                  (e) Beneficiary may resort to any remedies and the security
given by the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, in
whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by
Beneficiary in Beneficiary's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be
considered a waiver of any rights, benefits 

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Loan Documents. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise any right, remedy
or option provided in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan
Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any
covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment after the
occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Beneficiary of any
obligation for which Grantor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or
cure any Event of Default with respect to Grantor, or Grantor's liability to pay
such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, no
forbearance on the part of Beneficiary and no extension of time for the payment
of the whole or any portion of the Debt, or any other indulgence given by
Beneficiary to Grantor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the
interest of Beneficiary in the remaining Mortgaged Property or the liability of
Grantor to pay the Debt. No waiver by Beneficiary shall be effective unless it
is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and
expenses of Beneficiary in exercising its rights and remedies under this
Paragraph 21 (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the
extent permitted by law) shall be paid by Grantor immediately upon notice from
Beneficiary, with interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred by
Beneficiary until repaid by Grantor, and such costs and expenses, with interest
as aforesaid, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by
this Deed of Trust.

                  (f) The interests and rights of Beneficiary under the Note,
this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by
any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which
Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender,
compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which
Beneficiary may grant with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof, or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser,
guarantor or surety of any of the Debt.

                  (g) In case Beneficiary or the Trustee, on behalf of
Beneficiary, shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and shall hereafter
elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Beneficiary or the
Trustee, on behalf of Beneficiary, as applicable, shall have the unqualified
right so to do and, in such event, Grantor, Beneficiary and the Trustee shall be
restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt secured hereby, this
Deed of Trust, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the
rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary and the Trustee, on behalf
of Beneficiary, shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

                  22. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or
remedies granted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and its agents shall have
the right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time
upon reasonable notice under the circumstances until the Debt is paid in full.
The cost of such inspections shall be borne by Grantor should Beneficiary
determine that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up
or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by
Beneficiary. The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Grantor

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

following demand, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under
the Note and this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at
the Default Rate.

         23.      SECURITY AGREEMENT.

                  (a) This Deed of Trust is both a real property deed of trust
and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.
The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other
rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Grantor in
the Mortgaged Property. Grantor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust
has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary, as security for the Debt, a
security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the
Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion
of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being
referred to in this Paragraph 23 as the "COLLATERAL"). Grantor hereby agrees
with Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance
satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further
assurances as Beneficiary may from time to time reasonably consider necessary to
create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary's security interest herein granted.
This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of
the Uniform Commercial Code. As such, this Deed of Trust covers all items of the
Collateral that are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the
security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the
addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.
If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights
and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise, immediately and
without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon
default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem
necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon
request or demand of Beneficiary, Grantor shall at its expense assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable
to Beneficiary. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in
protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder
with respect to the Collateral. The proceeds of any disposition of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of
the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion
shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of
any Grantor, such Grantor shall notify Beneficiary thereof and promptly after
request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are
necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary's lien upon and security
interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection
with the filing and recording thereof. If Beneficiary shall require the filing
or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation
statements, Grantor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such
Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall
deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the
filing and recording thereof. Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as
its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate
public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by

                                       21
<PAGE>   22

Beneficiary, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral covered by this
Deed of Trust.

                  (b) Upon an Event of Default Beneficiary shall have the right,
at Beneficiary's opinion, by and through the Trustee or otherwise:

                             (i) To proceed as to both the real and personal
         property covered by this Deed of Trust in accordance with Beneficiary's
         rights and remedies in respect of said real property, in which event
         (A) the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code otherwise applicable
         to sale of the Collateral shall not apply, and (B) the sale of the
         Collateral in conjunction with and as one parcel with said real
         property (or any portion thereof) shall be deemed to be a commercially
         reasonable manner of sale; or

                             (ii) To proceed as to the Collateral separately
         from the Premises and the Improvements, in which event the requirement
         of reasonable notice shall be met by mailing notice of the sale,
         postage prepaid, to Grantor or any other person entitled thereto at
         least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other disposition of
         any of the Collateral.

                  24. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Beneficiary has the right to
appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the
Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on
behalf of Grantor, which Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, decides should be
brought to protect their interest in the Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall,
at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other security
instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation
rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt.

                  25. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. All amounts due under
this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be payable
without setoff, counterclaim (except for compulsory counterclaims), or any
deduction whatsoever. Grantor hereby waives the right to assert a setoff,
counterclaim (except on compulsory counterclaims) or deduction in any action or
proceeding in which Beneficiary is a participant, or arising out of or in any
way connected with this Deed of Trust, the Note, any of the other Loan
Documents, or the Debt.

                  26. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Beneficiary shall
have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced.

         27.      MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS.

                  (a) Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the
benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the
event of any sale hereunder of the 

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Grantor
hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any
order or decree of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on behalf of Grantor and on
behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the
Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust and on behalf of
all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent permitted
by law, Grantor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of
law pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under any
federal, state or local law now or hereafter in effect, the administration of
estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the
right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, for the collection of the Debt without
any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary under
the terms of this Deed of Trust to the payment of the Debt out of the proceeds
of sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in preference to every
other claimant whatever. Further, Grantor hereby knowingly, intentionally and
voluntarily waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and
future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to enforce the
provisions of this Deed of Trust or to collect any of the Debt secured hereby to
the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  (b) Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the lien of this Deed
of Trust shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be
affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Beneficiary and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be
impaired by any acceptance by Beneficiary of any other security for any portion
of the Debt, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Beneficiary
to realize upon or protect any portion of the Debt or any collateral security
therefor. The lien of this Deed of Trust shall not in any manner be impaired or
affected by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge,
surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration,
changing, modification or disposition of any portion of the Debt or of any of
the collateral security therefor, and Beneficiary may foreclose, or exercise any
other remedy available to Beneficiary, without first exercising or enforcing any
of its remedies under this Deed of Trust and any exercise of the rights and
remedies of Beneficiary hereunder shall not in any manner impair the Debt or any
of Beneficiary's rights and remedies hereunder.

                  28. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Grantor hereby represents and
warrants to Beneficiary that except as set forth in the environmental report
delivered to Beneficiary on the Closing Date in connection with the closing of
the Loan: (a) except where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to
cause a Material Adverse Change, the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance
with all local, state, federal and other governmental authority statutes,
ordinances, codes, orders, decrees, laws, rules and regulations pertaining to or
imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation,
contamination or clean-up, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, as amended, the Hazardous
Substances Transportation Act, as amended, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as
amended, the Clean Water Act, as amended, the Clean Air Act, as amended, the
Toxic 

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

Substance Control Act, as amended, the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, any state super-lien and
environmental clean-up statutes and all regulations, orders and guidelines
adopted in respect of the foregoing laws, whether presently in force or coming
into being and/or effectiveness hereafter (collectively, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS");
(b) the Mortgaged Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or
judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim
relating to hazardous and/or toxic, dangerous and/or regulated, substances,
wastes, materials, raw materials which include hazardous constituents,
pollutants or contaminants, including, without limitation, asbestos or any
substance or material containing asbestos, petroleum, tremolite, anthlophylie,
actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls and any other substances or materials
which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws or which are
considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise dangerous in terms of the
health, safety or welfare of humans (collectively, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES"); (c)
to the best knowledge of Grantor, no Hazardous Substances are or have been
(including the period prior to Grantor's acquisition of the Mortgaged Property)
released, discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on, incorporated
in, or removed or transported from the Mortgaged Property other than in
compliance with all Environmental Laws; (d) to the best knowledge of Grantor, no
Hazardous Substances are present in, on or under any nearby real property which
could migrate to or otherwise affect the Mortgaged Property; and (e) to the best
knowledge of Grantor, no underground storage tanks exist on the Mortgaged
Property. So long as Grantor owns or is in possession of the Mortgaged Property,
Grantor: (i) shall keep or cause the Mortgaged Property to be kept free from
Hazardous Substances; (ii) shall keep or cause the Mortgaged Property to be kept
in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (iii) shall promptly notify
Beneficiary in writing if Grantor shall become aware of any Hazardous Substances
on or near the Mortgaged Property and/or if Grantor shall become aware that the
Mortgaged Property is in direct or indirect violation of any Environmental Laws
and/or if Grantor shall become aware of any condition on or near the Mortgaged
Property which could pose a threat to the health, safety or welfare of humans;
and (iv) shall remove such Hazardous Substances and/or cure such violations
and/or remove such threats, as applicable, as required by law (or as shall be
required by Beneficiary in the case of removal which is not required by law, but
in response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental
engineer or other qualified consultant engaged by Beneficiary), promptly after
Grantor becomes aware of the same, at Grantor's sole expense. The obligations
and liabilities of Grantor under this Paragraph 28 shall survive any
termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Deed of Trust and the exercise
by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, without
limitation, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

                  29. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING; REMEDIAL WORK. Grantor shall
give prompt written notice to Beneficiary of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by
any party with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under,
from or about the Mortgaged Property; (b) all claims made or threatened by any
third party against Grantor or the Mortgaged Property relating to any loss or
injury resulting from any Hazardous Substance; and (c) Grantor's discovery of
any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of
the 

                                       24
<PAGE>   25

Mortgaged Property that could cause the Mortgaged Property to be subject to
any investigation or clean-up pursuant to any Environmental Law. Grantor shall
permit Beneficiary to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Mortgaged Property in
connection with any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance, and Grantor shall
pay all attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Beneficiary in connection
therewith. Upon Beneficiary's request, at any time and from time to time while
this Deed of Trust is in effect, Grantor shall provide, at Grantor's sole
expense, an inspection or audit of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a licensed
hydrogeologist, a licensed environmental engineer or other qualified consultant
approved by Beneficiary indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous
Substances and/or the violation or threatened violation of any Environmental
Laws at, on, in, under or near the Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED, however, that
Beneficiary may not require Grantor to provide such inspection or audit unless:
(i) Beneficiary is required by law to obtain such inspection or audit, (ii) such
inspection or audit is requested by Beneficiary in conjunction with a
foreclosure or other enforcement proceeding under the Loan Documents, or (iii)
Beneficiary has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that
reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or
audit of the Mortgaged Property. If Grantor fails to provide any such inspection
or audit within sixty (60) days after such request, Beneficiary may order same,
and Grantor hereby grants to Beneficiary and its employees and agents access to
the Mortgaged Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit. The
cost of such inspection or audit shall be added to the Debt and shall bear
interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. In the event that any
environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection
or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for
any Hazardous Substance, Grantor shall cause such operations and maintenance
plan to be prepared and implemented at Grantor's expense upon request of
Beneficiary. In the event that any investigation, testing, assessment, audit,
site monitoring, containment, clean-up, removal, restoration or other work of
any kind is reasonably necessary or desirable under an applicable Environmental
Law or otherwise required under this Deed of Trust in connection with any
Hazardous Substance (the "REMEDIAL WORK"), Grantor shall commence and thereafter
diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within thirty (30)
days after written demand by Beneficiary for performance thereof (or such
shorter period of time as may be required under applicable law). All Remedial
Work shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Beneficiary and
under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Beneficiary. All
costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Grantor, including,
without limitation, Beneficiary's reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. In the
event Grantor shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail
to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Beneficiary may, but
shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all
costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall be added
to the Debt and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

         30.      HANDICAPPED ACCESS.

                                       25
<PAGE>   26

                  (a) Grantor agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all
times strictly comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of
1988, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and
all rules, regulations and orders issued pursuant thereto, including, without
limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for
Buildings and Facilities (collectively, "ACCESS LAWS").

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any
other document regarding Beneficiary's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged
Property, Grantor shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which
would increase Grantor's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable
Access Laws without the prior written approval of Beneficiary. The foregoing
shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Grantor or by any of its
tenants. Beneficiary may condition any such approval upon receipt of a
certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer or other person
acceptable to Beneficiary.

                  (c) Grantor agrees to give prompt written notice to
Beneficiary of the receipt by Grantor of any complaints related to violation of
any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations
which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

                  31. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications
provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Grantor shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses,
fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Beneficiary (other than as a direct result of Beneficiary's fraud or wilful
misconduct) by reason of: (a) ownership of this Deed of Trust, the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident,
injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on
or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways;
(c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent
parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Grantor to
perform or comply with any of the terms of this Deed of Trust; (e) performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; (f) the presence,
disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or
threatened release of any Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under, from or
affecting the Mortgaged Property, any personal injury (including wrongful death)
or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such
Hazardous Substance, and any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached,
or government order relating to such Hazardous Substance; (g) any violation of
Environmental Laws which is based upon or in any way related to any Hazardous
Substance at, on, in, under, from or affecting the Mortgaged Property,
including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of any Remedial Work,
attorney and consultant fees and disbursements, investigation and laboratory
fees, court costs and litigation expenses; (h) any failure of the Mortgaged
Property to comply with

any Access Laws; (i) any representation or warranty made in the Note, this Deed
of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents being false or misleading in any
material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made; (j)
any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a
commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any liability asserted against
Beneficiary with respect thereto; and (k) the claims of any tenant of any
portion of the Mortgaged Property or any person acting through or under any
tenant or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease. The
indemnifications set forth in the preceding clauses (f) and (g) shall include,
without limitation, the costs of removal of the Hazardous Substances before or
after foreclosure or other taking of title to the Mortgaged Property by
Beneficiary, additional costs required to take necessary precautions to protect
against the release of Hazardous Substances into the air, any body of water or
any other public domain or onto or under any other property, costs incurred to
comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, and any diminution in the value
of the security afforded by the Mortgaged Property or any future reduction in
the sale price of the Mortgaged Property by reason of any matter set forth above
in said clauses (f) or (g) of this Paragraph 31 to the extent that such
diminution in value or such future reduction in sale price results in
Beneficiary receiving less than the full amount of all principal, interest and
other sums payable by Grantor under the Loan, but shall specifically not include
any such costs relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on,
in or under the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to
the Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary. Any amounts payable to Beneficiary by
reason of the application of this Paragraph shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Beneficiary until
paid. The obligations and liabilities of Grantor under this Paragraph 31 shall
survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Deed of Trust and
the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by
foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure but only to the extent based
on facts existing at the time Grantor owned the Mortgaged Property.

                  32. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent
made hereunder shall be sent and shall be effective in the manner set forth in
the Loan Agreement.

                  33. AUTHORITY. Grantor (and the undersigned representative of
Grantor, if any) represent and warrant that it (or they, as the case may be) has
full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
pursuant to this Deed of Trust and to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign,
transfer and mortgage the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the terms hereof and to
keep and observe all of the terms of this Deed of Trust on Grantor's part to be
performed; and Grantor represents and warrants that Grantor is not a "foreign
person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the related Treasury Department regulations, including
temporary regulations.

                  34. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Grantor shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Beneficiary except with respect to matters
for which the 

                                       27
<PAGE>   28

Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by
Beneficiary to Grantor and except with respect to matters for which Beneficiary
is required by applicable law to give notice. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Grantor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice
from Beneficiary with respect to any matter for which this Deed of Trust does
not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Beneficiary
to Grantor.

                  35. REMEDIES OF GRANTOR. In the event that a claim or
adjudication is made that Beneficiary has acted unreasonably or unreasonably
delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Deed of Trust or
the other Loan Documents it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly,
Beneficiary shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Grantor's remedies
shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

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

                  37. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Beneficiary to insist upon
strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
term of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor's
obligations hereunder by reason of: (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply
with any request of Grantor or to take any action to foreclose this Deed of
Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, the Loan
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) the release, regardless of
consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any
person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or
stipulation by Beneficiary extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying
or supplementing the terms of the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust
or any of the other Loan Documents. Beneficiary may resort for the payment of
the Debt to any other security held by Beneficiary in such order and manner as
Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect. Beneficiary may take action to
recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof
without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to foreclosure this
Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust
shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary shall be construed as an election
to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Beneficiary shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and
remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or
hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

                  38. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Deed of Trust, and any provisions
hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or
terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Grantor or
Beneficiary, but only by an 

                                       28
<PAGE>   29


agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.

                  39. LIABILITY. If more than one person signs this Deed of
Trust as Grantor, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder
shall be joint and several. Subject to the provisions hereof requiring
Beneficiary's consent to any transfer of the Mortgaged Property, this Deed of
Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Grantor and Beneficiary
and their respective successors and assigns.

                  40. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant or
condition of the Note or this Deed of Trust is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the Note and this Deed of Trust shall be construed
without such provision.

                  41. HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various
paragraphs of this Deed of Trust are for convenience of reference only and are
not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of
the provisions hereof.

                  42. DUPLICATE ORIGINALS. This Deed of Trust may be executed in
any number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be
deemed to be an original.

                  43. DEFINITIONS. Unless the context clearly indicates a

transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded Beneficiary under this
Deed of Trust.

                  45. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GRANTOR HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO

                                       29
<PAGE>   30

WITH REGARD TO THE NOTE, THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY GRANTOR,
AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO
WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. BENEFICIARY IS HEREBY
AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE
EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY GRANTOR.

                  46. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Any consent or approval by Beneficiary in any single
instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Beneficiary's consent or
approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date, and the failure of
Beneficiary to promptly exercise any right, power, remedy, consent or approval
provided herein or at law or in equity shall not constitute or be construed as a
waiver of the same nor shall Beneficiary be estopped from exercising such right,
power, remedy, consent or approval at a later date. Any consent or approval
requested of and granted by Beneficiary pursuant hereto shall be narrowly
construed to be applicable only to Grantor and the matter identified in such
consent or approval and no third party shall claim any benefit by reason
thereof, and any such consent or approval shall not be deemed to constitute
Beneficiary a venturer or partner with Grantor nor shall privity of contract be
presumed to have been established with any such third party. If Beneficiary
deems it to be in its best interest to retain assistance of persons, firms or
corporations (including, without limitation, attorneys, title insurance
companies, appraisers, engineers and surveyors) with respect to a request for
consent or approval, Grantor shall reimburse Beneficiary for all out of pocket
costs (except after an Event of Default, Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all
costs and expenses) reasonably incurred in connection with the employment of
such persons, firms or corporations.

                  (b) Grantor covenants and agrees that during the term of this
Deed of Trust, unless Beneficiary shall have previously consented in writing:
(i) Grantor will take no action that would cause it to become an "employee
benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) or cause the assets of Grantor to constitute "plan assets" of one or
more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101; and (ii)
Grantor will take no action that would cause it to be a "governmental plan"
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and shall not engage in any
transaction which would subject Grantor to state statutes regulating investments
of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. Grantor will
not sell, assign or transfer the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, to any transferee that does not execute and deliver to
Beneficiary its written assumption of the obligations of the foregoing
covenants. Grantor further covenants and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify
and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and
expense (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and the cost of
correcting any prohibited transaction or obtaining an appropriate exemption)
that

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

Beneficiary may incur as a result of Grantor's breach of the foregoing
covenants. These covenants and indemnity shall survive the extinguishment of the
lien of this Deed of Trust by foreclosure or action in lieu thereof provided
such indemnity relates to facts in existence prior to the extinguishment of the
lien of this Deed of Trust. In addition, the foregoing indemnity shall be a
recourse obligation of Grantor and shall supersede any limitations on Grantor's
liability under any of the Loan Documents.

                  (c) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between
Grantor and Beneficiary relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other
agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the
provisions of the Loan Documents.

                  (d) Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of
this Deed of Trust.

                  (e) Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that there
has not been committed by Grantor, to Grantor's knowledge, or any other person
in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Mortgaged Property
any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local
government the right of forfeiture as against the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Grantor's obligations under the
Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Grantor hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or
circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof, Grantor
hereby indemnifies Beneficiary and agrees to defend and hold Beneficiary
harmless from and against any loss, damage or injury by reason of the breach of
the covenants and agreements or the representations and warranties set forth in
this Paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of
formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Grantor or against all
or any part of the Mortgaged Property under any federal or state law for which
forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or of any monies paid
in performance of Grantor's obligations under the Loan Documents is a potential
result, shall, at the election of Beneficiary, constitute an Event of Default
hereunder without notice or opportunity to cure.

                  (f) The relationship between Grantor and Beneficiary under the
Loan Documents is that of a borrower and a lender only and neither of those
parties is, nor shall it hold itself out to be, the agent, employee, joint
venturer or partner of the other party.

                  (g) An Event of Default hereunder shall be a default under
each of the other Loan Documents.

                  (h) In the event the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent permitted by
law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for purposes of
redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is
located), bear interest at the Default Rate.

                                       31
<PAGE>   32

                  (i) This document may be construed as a deed of trust,
mortgage, chattel mortgage, conveyance, assignment, security agreement, pledge,
financing statement, hypothecation or contract, or any one or more of the
foregoing, in order to fully effectuate the liens and security interests created
hereby and the purposes and agreements herein set forth.

                  (j) In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings
affecting Grantor or the general partners, members or principals in Grantor, or
their respective creditors or property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by
law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Beneficiary allowed in
such proceedings for the entire secured Debt at the date of the institution of
such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable
by Grantor hereunder after such date.

                  47. DEFEASANCE. Provided no Event of Default exists, this Deed
of Trust may be satisfied and discharged of record by Grantor prior to the
maturity date of the Debt set forth in Paragraph 48 below only in accordance
with the terms and provisions set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Loan
Agreement and upon satisfaction by Grantor of all the terms and conditions
continued therein.

                  48. MATURITY DATE. The maturity date of the Debt secured
hereby is the Stated Maturity Date.

                  49. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Deed of Trust secures such future or
additional advances as may be made by Beneficiary or the holder hereof, at its
exclusive option, to Grantor or its successors or assigns in title for any
purpose. All such future advances shall be secured to the same extent as if made
on the date of the execution of this Deed of Trust and this Deed of Trust shall
secure the payment of the Note and any additional advances made from time to
time pursuant hereto, all of said Debt being equally secured hereby and having
the same priority as any amounts advanced as of the date of this Deed of Trust.
It is agreed that any additional sum or sums advanced by Beneficiary shall be
equally secured with and have the same priority as the original Debt and shall
be subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Deed of Trust,
whether or not such additional loans or advances are evidenced by other
promissory notes or other guaranties of Grantor and whether or not identified by
a recital that it or they are secured by this Deed of Trust. It is further
agreed that any additional promissory note or guaranty or promissory notes or
guaranties executed and delivered pursuant to this Paragraph shall automatically
be deemed to be included in the term "NOTE" wherever it appears in the context
of this Deed of Trust.

                  50. AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. All property acquired by Grantor
after the date of this Deed of Trust which by the terms of this Deed of Trust
shall be subject to the lien and/or the security interest created hereby, shall
immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Grantor and without any further
mortgage, conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security
interest created by this Deed of Trust. Nevertheless, Grantor shall execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and 

                                       32
<PAGE>   33

every such further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements,
assignments and assurances as Beneficiary shall require for accomplishing the
purposes of this Deed of Trust.

                  51. CERTAIN RETAIL COVENANTS. Grantor further covenants and
agrees with Beneficiary as follows:

                  (a)      Grantor shall:

                             (i) promptly perform and/or observe all of the
         covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it
         under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve
         and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder;

                             (ii) promptly notify Beneficiary in writing of any
         default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware;

                             (iii) promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of
         each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan,
         notice, report and estimate prepared by Grantor or Manager under the
         Property Management Agreement; and

                             (iv) promptly enforce the performance and
         observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
         performed and/or observed by the property manager under the Property
         Management Agreement.

                  (b) Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary's prior written
consent:

                             (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management
         Agreement or otherwise replace the manager under the Management
         Agreement or enter into any other management agreements with respect to
         the Mortgaged Property, PROVIDED, however, that Grantor may terminate
         or cancel the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof
         so long as, prior to such termination or cancellation, Grantor has
         selected a replacement manager and such replacement manager has been
         approved by Beneficiary;

                             (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term
         of the Management Agreement;

                             (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the
         amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; or

                             (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or
         amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the
         Management Agreement in any material respect which adversely effects
         Grantor's rights thereunder or Beneficiary's interest in the Mortgaged
         Property.

                  (c) Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary's prior written
consent, enter into transactions with any affiliate, including, without
limitation, any arrangement 

                                       33
<PAGE>   34

providing for the managing of the Mortgaged Property, the rendering or receipt
of services or the purchase or sale of inventory, except any such transaction in
the ordinary course of business of Grantor if the monetary or business
consideration arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to
Grantor as the monetary or business consideration that Grantor would obtain in a
comparable transaction with a person not an affiliate of Grantor.

                  (d) Grantor will enter into and cause the manager to enter
into an assignment and subordination of the Management Agreement in form
satisfactory to Beneficiary, assigning to Beneficiary all of Grantor's rights
and interest under the Management Agreement and subordinating the manager's
interest in the Mortgaged Property and all fees and other rights of the manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement to this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents and the rights of Beneficiary hereunder and thereunder. If a monetary
default or an Event of Default shall occur, Grantor, at Beneficiary's request
made at any time while such monetary default or such Event of Default is
continuing, shall terminate the Management Agreement and replace the manager
with a manager approved by Beneficiary on terms and conditions satisfactory to
Beneficiary.

                  52. LOCAL LAW. Annexed hereto as EXHIBIT B are additional
provisions which shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. In the event
of any inconsistencies between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the
provisions of EXHIBIT B, the provisions of EXHIBIT B shall control and be
binding.

         53.      THE TRUSTEE.

                  (a) It shall be no part of the duty of Trustee to see to any
recording, filing or registration of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument
in addition or supplemental hereto, or to give any notice thereof, or to see to
the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any tax or assessment or other
governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Mortgaged Property,
or any part thereof, or against Grantor, or to see to the performance or
observance by Grantor of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein.
Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgement or validity
of this Deed of Trust or of any instrument in addition or supplemental hereto or
for the sufficiency of the security purported to be created hereby, and makes no
representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights of Beneficiary.
Trustee shall have the right to advice of counsel upon any matters arising
hereunder and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the
advice of counsel. Trustee shall not incur any personal liability hereunder
except for his own gross negligence or willful misconduct and Trustee shall have
the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or
supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder and
believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.

                  (b) Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed
to Beneficiary, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by
an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death,
resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee, or if for any reason
Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to 

                                       34
<PAGE>   35

appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named
trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, then Beneficiary shall have the
right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or
a substitute trustee, without other formality than appointment and designation
in writing executed by Beneficiary, and the authority hereby conferred shall
extend to the appointment of other successor and substitute trustees
successively until the Debt secured hereby has been paid in full, or until the
Mortgaged Property is fully and finally sold hereunder. Such appointment and
designation by Beneficiary shall be full evidence of the right and authority to
make the same and of all facts therein recited. If Beneficiary is a corporation
or association and such appointment is executed in its behalf by an officer of
such corporation or association, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed
to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of
any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation
or association. Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of
the estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Property shall vest in the
named successor or substitute Trustee, and he shall thereupon succeed to and
shall hold, possess and execute all of the rights, powers, privileges,
immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but, nevertheless, upon the
written request of Beneficiary or of the successor or substitute Trustee, the
trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor or substitute Trustee all of the estate and title in the
Mortgaged Property of the trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the
rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon the
Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and
moneys held by said trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute Trustee.
All references herein to "TRUSTEE" shall be deemed to refer to Trustee
(including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein
provided) from time to time acting hereunder.

                  (c) Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgement or
act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable
under any circumstances whatsoever (including Trustee's negligence), except for
Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Trustee shall have the right
to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any
action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder, believed by him in good
faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied
as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except
to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. Grantor hereby ratifies and
confirms any and all acts which the herein-named Trustee or his successor or
successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by
virtue hereof. Grantor will reimburse Trustee for, and save him harmless
against, any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by him in the
performance of his duties. The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon
discharge of the secured Debt or foreclosure, or release or other termination,
of this Deed of Trust.

                  54. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,

DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES
AND RENTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

MORGANTOWN MALL ASSOCIATES
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, GUARANTOR

MICHAEL B. KELLAR, TRUSTEE
THE CAPITAL COMPANY OF AMERICA
LLC, BENEFICIARY



                           1. BENEFICIAL OWNER: At the time of the execution and
                  delivery of this Deed of Trust, the beneficial owner of the
                  Debt secured hereby is:

                           The Capital Company of America LLC
                           Two World Financial Center
                           Building B
                           New York, New York 10281

                           2. FUTURE ADVANCES: Notwithstanding the language of
                  Paragraph 49 of this Deed of Trust, this is not a credit line
                  deed of trust, and Beneficiary will not be making future
                  advances but, rather, will be advancing the entire Loan amount
                  at closing.

                           3. REMEDIES: The first full paragraph of Subparagraph
                  (a)(iii) of Paragraph 21 of this Deed of Trust is deleted and
                  the following eight subparagraphs included in lieu thereof: At
                  any time after the exercise by Beneficiary of the option to
                  declare the entire indebtedness of Grantor under the Note to
                  be immediately due and payable, Trustee, upon the written
                  request of Beneficiary, shall foreclose upon and sell the
                  Mortgaged Property to satisfy the Debt at public auction at
                  the front door of the courthouse of Monongalia County, West
                  Virginia, for cash or cash equivalent (including, without
                  limitation, for certified checks, bank drafts, wire transfer
                  funds, cashier checks and any other method of payment which,
                  in the sole discretion of Beneficiary, is "cash equivalent"),
                  in hand on the day of sale, after first giving notice of such
                  sale by publishing such notice in some newspaper of general
                  circulation published in the county wherein the Mortgaged
                  Property is located, or if there be no such newspaper, in a
                  qualified newspaper of general circulation in said county,
                  once a week for two successive weeks preceding the day of sale
                  and after giving notice to 

                                      40

<PAGE>   41


                  Grantor and to any subordinate lienholder who has previously
                  notified Beneficiary of the existence of a subordinate lien,
                  at least 20 days prior to the sale, and no other notice of
                  such sale shall be required. Beneficiary may be a purchaser at
                  any such sale.

                           Any sale made hereunder may be adjourned from time to
                  time without notice other than by oral proclamation of such
                  adjournment at the time and place of sale, or at the time and
                  place of any adjourned sale.
                           Out of the proceeds of such sale Trustee shall pay,
                  first, the costs and expenses of executing this trust,
                  including a reasonable fee to Trustee, or to the one so
                  acting, as his or their commission hereunder; second, to
                  Beneficiary and Trustee all moneys which they or any of them
                  may have paid for taxes, assessments or other governmental
                  charges or fees, insurance, repairs, court costs, and all
                  other costs and expenses incurred or paid under the provisions
                  of this Deed of Trust, together with interest thereon at the
                  Default Rate from the date of payment; third, to Beneficiary
                  the full amount due and unpaid on the Note and all other
                  indebtedness hereby secured, together with all interest
                  accrued thereon to date of payment; and fourth, the balance,
                  if any, to Grantor, its successors or assigns, upon delivery
                  of and surrender to the purchaser or purchasers of possession
                  of the Mortgaged Property less the expense, if any, of
                  obtaining such possession.
                           In the event that foreclosure proceedings are
                  instituted hereunder but are not completed, Trustee shall be
                  reimbursed for all costs and expenses and a reasonable fee for
                  so acting in commencing and terminating such proceedings, and
                  all costs and expenses so incurred by Trustee, together with
                  interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate, and said fee
                  shall all be payable by Grantor on demand, and shall be and
                  become a part of the Debt and shall be collectible as such.
                           Trustee or if more than one is named as Trustee, the
                  "Trustees," may act in the execution of this trust, and in the
                  event either of Trustees shall act alone, the authority and
                  power of the Trustee so acting shall be as full and complete
                  as if the powers and authority granted to Trustees herein
                  jointly had been granted to such Trustee alone; and either or
                  both of Trustees are hereby authorized to act by agent or
                  attorney in the execution of this trust. It shall not be
                  necessary for any Trustee to be present in person at any
                  foreclosure sale hereunder.
                           It is expressly covenanted and agreed by all parties
                  hereto that Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time
                  hereafter, without notice, appoint and substitute another
                  Trustee or Trustees, corporations or persons, in place of the
                  Trustee herein named to execute the trust herein created. Upon
                  such appointment, either with or without a conveyance to said
                  substituted Trustee or Trustees by the Trustee herein named,
                  or by any substituted Trustee in case the said right of
                  appointment is exercised more than once, the new and
                  substituted Trustee or Trustees in each instance shall be
                  vested with all the rights, titles, interests, powers, duties
                  and trusts in the premises which are vested in and conferred
                  upon the

                  Trustee who is named herein and substituted in his or her
                  place and stead. Each such appointment and substitution shall
                  be evidenced by an instrument in writing which shall recite
                  the parties to, and the book and page of record of, this Deed
                  of Trust, and the description of the real property herein
                  described, which instrument, executed and acknowledged by
                  Beneficiary or by its successors or assigns and recorded in
                  the office of the Clerk of the County Commission of Monongalia
                  County, West Virginia, shall be conclusive proof of the proper
                  substitution and appointment of such successor Trustee or
                  Trustees, and notice of such proper substitution and
                  appointment to all parties in interest. Notwithstanding any
                  other provisions hereof to the contrary, a copy of any notice
                  of trustee's sale under this Deed of Trust shall be served on

                  Commencing with the Payment Date on November 11, 1998, and on
each and every Payment Date thereafter through but excluding the Maturity Date,
Maker shall pay interest at the Applicable Interest Rate on the outstanding

Documents for the performance by Maker of its obligations thereunder or

         2.       SECURITY FOR THE LOAN.

                  This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and the
Holder is and shall be entitled to the benefits thereof and remedies provided
therein and the security provided for therein including, without limitation, the
security provided by the Deed of Trust encumbering the Trust Property (as

other property described therein, and by other Loan Documents affecting and

including but not limited to, the Assignment of Leases and the Assignment of

                  The Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions
for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated
events, and for the payment of certain prepayment premiums (if the circumstances
require) by Maker upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

         4.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire
principal sum hereof outstanding, together with accrued interest hereon and all
other fees, premiums, charges, and costs due under the Loan Documents, if any,
shall, at the option of the Holder (unless otherwise specified under the Loan
Agreement), at once become due and payable without notice. Failure to exercise
the aforementioned option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise
the same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default. In addition to
principal and interest, Maker agrees to pay to Holder (i) all costs of
collection incurred by Holder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and (ii) any other payments which may become due under the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

         5.       DEFAULT INTEREST RATE.

                  Maker does hereby agree that, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and is continuing, Maker shall pay interest at the Default Rate on
the outstanding amount of the Loan and due but unpaid interest thereon, upon
demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         6.       AUTHORITY.

                  Maker represents that it has full power, authority and legal
right to execute and deliver this Note and to perform its obligations hereunder,
and that this Note constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Maker,
enforceable against Maker in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW
YORK OR IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.

         9.       WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

                  MAKER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE
TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE
EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY MAKER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.
HOLDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING
AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY MAKER.

         10.      SAVINGS CLAUSE.

                  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Maker and Holder at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for,
charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this paragraph shall control every other covenant and agreement in
this Note and the other Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal)
is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for
under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Debt, or if Holder's
exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment
results in Maker having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by
applicable law, then it is Holder's express intent that all excess amounts
theretofore collected by Holder shall be credited on the principal balance of
this Note and all other Debt and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan
Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible
hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention
of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Debt
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the
Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Debt for so 



                                       4

long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention
of Holder to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the
time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.

         11.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) No release of any security for the Debt evidenced hereby
or any Person liable for payment of the Debt evidenced hereby, no extension of
time for payment of the Debt evidenced hereby or any installment hereof, and no
alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents made by
agreement between Holder and any other Person or party shall release, modify,
amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of
Maker or any other Person or party who might be or become liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Debt evidenced hereby, under the Loan Documents,
except as explicitly provided in a writing satisfying the requirements of
paragraph 11(c) hereof.

                  (b) Maker and all others who may become liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Debt evidenced hereby do hereby severally waive
presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of
protest, notice of non-payment, and notice of intent to accelerate the maturity
hereof and (except as may be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents) of
actual acceleration.

                  (c) This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended,
changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the
part of Maker or Holder, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension,
change, discharge or termination is sought.

                  (d) Whenever used, the singular number shall include the
plural, the plural the singular, and the words "Holder" and "Maker" shall
include their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators as permitted under the Loan Documents.

                  (e) The provisions of Section 12.24 of the Loan Agreement,
relating to the exculpation of Maker, are hereby incorporated by reference, as
if set forth in full herein.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has duly executed or has caused its
respective duly authorized officers to execute this Note on its behalf, as of
the day and year first above written.

                  MORTGAGE LOAN COOPERATION AGREEMENT, dated as of September 15,
1998 (this "Agreement"), among GLIMCHER LLOYD VENTURE, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Borrower"), GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
Delaware limited partnership ("Borrower Parent/Sponsor"), and GOLDMAN SACHS
MORTGAGE COMPANY, a New York limited partnership ("GSMC").

                  WHEREAS, Borrower is the owner of the real property commonly
known as Lloyd Center, located in Portland, Oregon (the "Property"); and

                  WHEREAS, GSMC has agreed to provide certain financing to
Borrower in the approximate aggregate amount of $130,000,000.00 secured by,
among other things, the Property on the terms set forth in a Loan Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and GSMC, (as same may be amended
from time to time, the "Loan") this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as
such term is defined in said Loan Agreement) (all terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Loan Agreement); and

                  WHEREAS, it is contemplated that, subsequent to the funding of
the Loan by GSMC, the Loan will be sold, in whole or in part, whether as a whole
loan sale, or a sale of participation interests, a private placement, Rule 144A
offering or registered public offering of pass-through trust certificates or of
debt or equity securities issued by Borrower, GSMC (or an affiliate thereof), or
otherwise; and GSMC may deem it necessary or desirable to amend or modify
certain of the Loan Documents in connection therewith.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                  Section 1. Definitions. When used herein, the following
capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:

                  "Certificates" shall mean, collectively, any senior and/or
subordinate note, debenture or pass-through certificate(s), or other evidence(s)
of indebtedness, or debt or equity security(ies), or any combination of the
foregoing, representing a direct or beneficial interest, in whole or in part, in
the Loan either alone or together with other loans. Certificates may be issued
in a single class or multiple classes.

                  "Bifurcation" shall mean the restructuring of the loan as two
(2) or more separate loans in accordance with, and pursuant to, the provisions
of Section 2(h) hereof.

                  "Bifurcation Borrowers" shall mean, collectively and/or
individually, the Borrower and the members of Borrower who shall be the borrower
under a Bifurcation Loan.

                  "Bifurcation Loans" shall mean, collectively and/or
individually, one (1) or more loans to the Borrower and/or the members of
Borrower secured by the Property and/or liens on all membership interests in
Borrower which shall result from a Bifurcation.


<PAGE>   2


                  "Rating Agencies" shall mean each of Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co., Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch
IBCA, Inc. or such other nationally recognized statistical securities rating
organizations as may be designated by GSMC to assign a rating to the Loan or any
Certificates.

                  "Rating Agency Requirements" shall mean such requirements as
the Rating Agencies may impose, after such discussions as GSMC (in its sole
discretion) shall determine to be appropriate, as a condition to their assigning
to the Loan or any Certificates such ratings as may be acceptable to GSMC.
Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor acknowledge that the Loan and/or
Certificates are contemplated to include the highest ratings assigned by the
Rating Agencies.

                  "SEC" shall mean the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.

                  "Securitization" shall mean the first transaction in which
GSMC actually (i) sells or participates one hundred percent (100%) of the Loan,
the Notes and the other Loan Documents to one or more investors as a whole loan,
(ii) deposits the Loan, the Deed of Trust, the Notes and other Loan Documents
with a trust (including a REMIC trust), and such trust issues Certificates, one
hundred percent (100%) of which Certificates are offered and sold (except for
any Certificate representing any non-economic residual interest in such REMIC
trust that may be retained by GSMC or any affiliate thereof), or (iii) otherwise
sells the Loan or all interests therein to investors, including through the sale
of Certificates, provided that no Securitization shall be deemed to have
occurred for purposes hereof and the Loan Agreement, if (x) following the
completion of any sale or participation described above in this definition, GSMC
or any affiliate of GSMC shall continue to have a participation or any other
economic interest in the Loan (except for any Certificate representing any
non-economic residual interest in such REMIC trust that may be retained by GSMC
or any affiliate thereof); or (y) the Loan is purchased by a third-party that
represents and warrants to GSMC that (A) such purchaser (either directly or
through its affiliates) is regularly engaged in the business of buying loans for
subsequent securitization and (B) it is such purchaser's intention, as of the
time of such purchase, to securitize or cause the securitization of the Loan
within one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conveyance by GSMC of
its interest in the Loan to LaSalle National Bank, as custodian and collateral
agent (the "Custodian"), in connection with the commercial-mortgage-loan-sale
facility (the "Facility") created by GSMC with a commercial paper issuer (the
"CP Issuer") sponsored by Societe Generale pursuant to that certain Seller
Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1996, among GSMC, as seller, Barton Capital
Corporation, as purchaser, and Societe Generale, as agent, and that certain
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1996, among GSMC, as
administrator, Barton Capital Corporation, as purchaser, and Societe Generale,
as agent, and any reconveyance of such interest by the Custodian to GSMC shall
not constitute a Securitization under this Agreement even after the first
anniversary of any such conveyance. In connection with the conveyance by GSMC of
the Loan to the Custodian, GSMC will not convey its rights under this Agreement
to the Custodian or the CP Issuer and therefore neither the Custodian nor the CP
Issuer shall have any rights under this Agreement.

                  Section 2. General Obligation to Cooperate. Without limiting
any obligations of Borrower imposed in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby
agrees that it shall:

                  (a) Use reasonable efforts, at GSMC's request, to satisfy the
         market standards to which GSMC customarily adheres or which may be
         reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in
         connection with a Securitization; cooperate fully and in good faith
         with GSMC's efforts to structure and document the Loan and to arrange
         for the issuance and sale of Certificates and the other actions
         contemplated hereby; and take any and all actions that may reasonably
         be requested by GSMC to permit the issuance of Certificates and the
         sale thereof on such terms as GSMC may determine to be necessary or
         desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
         Person will (i) cooperate in any manner that may reasonably be
         requested by GSMC with each Rating Agency, the SEC, the underwriters
         and/or placement agents for any Certificates, any accountants, due
         diligence firms, trustees, servicers or other service providers engaged
         in connection with the Securitization, counsel to any such persons, and
         such other persons as may be designated by GSMC from time to time and
         (ii) execute and deliver all documentation and take all actions deemed
         reasonably necessary or desirable by GSMC for the implementation of any
         Securitization, including in connection with:

                                    (1) The preparation, completion, execution
                  and delivery of (a) in the case of a public offering of
                  Certificates, a registration statement and accompanying
                  prospectus (and all necessary amendments thereto) for the
                  offer and sale of Certificates, or (b) in the case of a
                  private placement or Rule 144A offering of Certificates, all
                  necessary offering circulars and/or private placement
                  memoranda, in either case containing such information
                  regarding Borrower, the Loan, the Property, any Person and
                  such other matters as may be customary for public offerings or
                  private offerings (as applicable) of securities similar to the
                  Certificates or as may be required by the SEC or deemed
                  appropriate by GSMC in connection therewith, including audited
                  and unaudited financial statements (including, if requested by
                  GSMC, interim audited financial statements) fulfilling SEC and
                  GSMC requirements as to form, content and period covered, an
                  auditors' comfort letter from a "Big Five" accounting firm (or
                  successor thereto), and an agreed-upon-procedures letter
                  issued by such firm regarding income-in-place at the Property;

                                    (2) The satisfaction of all Rating Agency
                  Requirements; and

                                    (3) The satisfaction of ongoing periodic
                  reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of
                  1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), arising out of the
                  registration of the Certificates.

                  For greater certainty, certain specific actions that GSMC
                  expects will be required in connection with the Securitization
                  and the Bifurcation, if required by GSMC, are set forth
                  herein. However, the specific agreements set forth herein
                  shall not be construed to limit the generality of the
                  obligations of any Person under this Section 2, except to the
                  extent expressly set forth below;

                           (b) Provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) (i)
                  to the Rating Agencies and (ii) to GSMC any information in
                  Borrower's possession or which can be obtained by Borrower and
                  can be disclosed without violating any applicable law or
                  breaching any applicable confidentiality agreement (including
                  financial statements) that, in the opinion of GSMC, is
                  necessary or desirable (for legal disclosure or marketing
                  purposes) for inclusion in any registration statement,
                  preliminary or final prospectus, preliminary or final private
                  placement memorandum or other disclosure documents used in any
                  such public offering or Rule 144A or private placement
                  (collectively, together with any amendment thereof or
                  supplement thereto, "Disclosure Documents");

                           (c) Provide such financial and other information (to
                  the extent such information is in Borrower's possession or can
                  be reasonably obtained by Borrower and can be disclosed
                  without violating any applicable law or breaching any
                  applicable confidentiality agreement) with respect to the
                  Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, the Property Manager
                  and any Tenants; provide business plans and budgets, to the
                  extent available, relating to the Property and perform or
                  permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site
                  inspections, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews
                  and reports (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's),
                  engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of
                  the Property, as may be reasonably requested in writing by
                  GSMC or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or
                  appropriate, in GSMC's opinion, in connection with the
                  Securitization, together, if customary, with appropriate
                  verification and/or consents of such information and materials
                  through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of
                  independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to GSMC and the
                  Rating Agencies;

                           (d) Use best efforts to cause counsel to render
                  opinions as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance and
                  true sale, and any other opinion customary in securitization
                  or loan transactions, with respect to the Property and
                  Borrower and its Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall
                  be reasonably satisfactory to GSMC and the Rating Agencies;

                           (e) Make such representations and warranties as of
                  the closing date of the Securitization and the Bifurcation
                  with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Loan Documents
                  as are customarily provided in securitization transactions or
                  as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Notes or
                  the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by
                  such representations and warranties as they exist on the date
                  thereof, including the representations and warranties made in
                  the Loan Documents as of the Closing Date, in each case
                  specifying any exceptions to such representations and
                  warranties (and the existence of such exceptions (to the
                  extent arising in the period subsequent to the Closing Date)
                  shall not, in and of itself, be a breach of this Agreement or
                  of any of the Loan Documents);

                           (f) Subject to Section 4, promptly upon request of
                  GSMC (and in no event more than ten (10) business days after
                  being provided with a form of 


                                       4

                  such document), execute such restatements, amendments,
                  supplements, replacements or other modifications to the Loan
                  Documents and, if required by GSMC, documentation for the
                  Bifurcation Loans, and the Bifurcation generally and
                  Borrower's and the Bifurcation Borrowers', if any,
                  organizational documents (or the organizational documents of
                  Borrower's, of the Bifurcation Borrowers', if any, general
                  partner or member if Borrower, or if the Bifurcation
                  Borrowers, if any, are limited partnerships or limited
                  liability companies, respectively) as may be requested by GSMC
                  in order to permit the Securitization and the Bifurcation or
                  in order to satisfy Rating Agency Requirements, including any
                  of the foregoing to better ensure that Borrower and the
                  Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, are special purpose bankruptcy
                  remote entities, to require periodic updates of accounting
                  matters, appraisals and environmental and engineering
                  assessments at origination of and/or during the term of the
                  Loan, and to incorporate customary mortgage and/or indenture
                  terms and restrictions for transactions involving the issuance
                  of rated debt through means such as the Certificates. In
                  respect of this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that it is
                  generally familiar with the requirements imposed by rated
                  securitization transactions and the mortgage loan and
                  securities offering documentation required thereby;

                           (g) Deliver certificates of the relevant Governmental
                  Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good
                  standing and qualification of Borrower and the Bifurcation
                  Borrowers, if any, as of the date of the Securitization and
                  Bifurcation, as applicable; and

                           (h) Cooperate fully, at GSMC's request, which
                  requests shall be made or withheld at the sole discretion of
                  GSMC, to accomplish a Bifurcation by restructuring the Loan as
                  two (2) or more separate loans whose initial principal
                  balances shall be in such proportion as GSMC shall request,
                  but whose aggregate principal balance shall be the Loan
                  Amount. The Bifurcation shall result in two (2) or more
                  Bifurcation Loans which shall be secured by deed of trust
                  liens on the Property and Borrower's other assets. The
                  respective interest rates payable under the Bifurcation Loans
                  shall be as GSMC shall elect, provided that the average
                  interest rate for both of such loans (weighted by the sum of
                  the outstanding principal balances thereof) shall not exceed
                  the interest rate on the Loan as specified in the Loan
                  Agreement.

                  Section 3.        Intentionally Deleted.

                  Section 4. Limitation on Borrower's Obligations.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 2, BORROWER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED
HEREUNDER TO AGREE TO ANY MODIFICATION OF A LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY BORROWER
ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT BORROWER OR
THAT WOULD CHANGE THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE, INCREASE THE INTEREST RATE
OR INTEREST PAYMENTS, INCREASE THE RATE OF AMORTIZATION, SHORTEN THE MATURITY

DOCUMENTS.

                  Section 5.        Securitization Indemnification.

                  (a) Offering of Certificates. Borrower acknowledges that
Certificates may be offered in a public offering registered with the SEC, in a
private placement or Rule 144A transaction, in an unregistered public offering
outside the United States or in some combination thereof, and Borrower
understands and agrees that any of the information provided or to be provided by
Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor in connection with the Securitization,
whether hereunder or under any Loan Document or otherwise (collectively, the
"Provided Information") may be included in a Disclosure Document and in filings
with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or, subject to
the provisions of this Section 5, provided or made available to investors or
prospective investors in the course of effecting a Securitization, the Rating
Agencies and service providers relating to the Securitization. Upon request,
Borrower will provide GSMC and any underwriter or placement agent for any
Certificates with written confirmation of the origin and/or accuracy of any
Provided Information. In the event that a Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with GSMC
or the holder of the Notes in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or
summary in such Disclosure Document by providing all current information in
Borrower's or Borrower Parent/Sponsor's possession or reasonably obtainable by
Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor (to the extent that the disclosure of such
information would not violate any applicable law or breach any confidentiality
agreement pertaining to Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor or the Property)
necessary to keep such Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects with respect to the matters covered in the Provided Information.
Borrower hereby consents (on behalf of itself and each of its related Persons)
to the inclusion in any such Disclosure Document of any Provided Information now
in possession of GSMC or acquired by GSMC pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise.

                  (b) Each of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor hereby agrees
to deliver the certificate and provide the indemnification set forth in Section
5(c) below and to provide the indemnification set forth in Section 5(e) below;
provided that each of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor have been given at
least a five (5) Business Day period to review the applicable Disclosure
Document or filing (or a two (2) Business Day period with respect to any amended
or final Disclosure Document or filing which has previously been reviewed) (such
five (5) or two (2) Business Day period, as applicable, being referred to herein
as the "Review Period") so that each of Borrower and Borrower Sponsor/Parent
may, with respect to the portions contained therein specifically relating to
Borrower Parent/Sponsor, Borrower, the Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the
Property, the Loan, or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, and any other sections
pertaining to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor, Bifurcation Borrowers, if any,
the Property, the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, that GSMC has
reasonably requested Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor to review (the
"Borrower Disclosure Information") either confirm for themselves that the same
is accurate and complete in all material respects or propose in writing to GSMC
such corrections, additions, deletions or qualifications as shall be reasonably
required by Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor to issue the certificate
required in Section 5(c)(i) and provide the indemnification set forth in Section
5(c)(ii) or 5(e) below.

                  (c) In connection with each Disclosure Document which Borrower
and Borrower Parent/Sponsor have had an opportunity to review pursuant to
Section 5(b) above and which reflect any changes reasonably required by Borrower
and Borrower Parent/Sponsor in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable
Review Period to issue the certificate required in Section 5(c)(i) below and to
provide the indemnity set forth in Section 5(c)(ii) below, each of Borrower and
Borrower Parent/Sponsor hereby agrees to:

                                    (i) Upon GSMC's reasonable request from time
                  to time, provide a certificate to GSMC in substantially the
                  form set forth on Exhibit A hereto certifying that (1)
                  Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor have examined the
                  Borrower Disclosure Information in such Disclosure Document
                  including the Borrower Disclosure Information contained in
                  applicable portions of the sections entitled "Special
                  Considerations", "Description of the Mortgages", "Description
                  of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties", "The
                  Manager", "The Borrower" and (to the extent it relates to the
                  Loan) "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan[s]", (2)
                  such Borrower Disclosure Information does not, as of the date
                  of such certificate, contain any untrue statement of a
                  material fact and such Disclosure Document does not, as of the
                  date of such certificate, omit to state a material fact
                  specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor,
                  Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property, the Loan or the
                  Bifurcation Loans, if any, necessary in order to make the
                  statements made in the Disclosure Document specifically
                  relating to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor, Bifurcation
                  Borrowers, if any, the Property, the Loan or the Bifurcation
                  Loans, if any, in the light of the circumstances under which
                  they were made, not misleading except, with respect to such
                  omissions, to the extent specifically set forth in such
                  certificate and (3) that such Borrower Disclosure Information
                  is accurate and complete in all material respects;

                                    (ii) indemnify and hold harmless, with
                  respect to such Disclosure Document, each of The Goldman Sachs
                  Group, L.P., Goldman, Sachs & Co., GSMC and any other
                  Affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. ("Goldman"), and
                  each of their respective directors and officers, and each
                  Person who controls any Person that is included within the
                  definition of Goldman within the meaning of Section 15 of the
                  Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
                  (collectively, the "Goldman Group"), and any other
                  underwriters in a Securitization and any of such underwriters'
                  Affiliates (the "Underwriters"), and each of the Underwriters'
                  respective directors and officers, and each Person who
                  controls any Person that is included within the definition of
                  Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
                  Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the
                  "Underwriter Group") against any losses, claims, damages or
                  liabilities, joint and several (the "Liabilities"), to which
                  the Goldman Group in its capacity as an issuer, an underwriter
                  or otherwise, and/or the Underwriter Group in its capacity as
                  an underwriter or otherwise, may become subject under the Act
                  or otherwise insofar as the Liabilities (or actions in respect
                  thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
                  or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
                  the Borrower Disclosure Information, or arise out of or are
                  based upon the omission or 



                                       7
<PAGE>   8


                  alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a
                  material fact specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower
                  Parent/Sponsor, Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property,
                  the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, required to be
                  stated in the Disclosure Document necessary in order to make
                  the statements specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower
                  Parent/Sponsor, Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property,
                  the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, in the Disclosure
                  Document not misleading (except if the failure to state such
                  fact was specifically set forth in the certificate referred to
                  in Section 5(c)(i) above) or arise out of or are based upon
                  the failure of the Borrower Disclosure Information to be
                  accurate and complete in all material respects (except that
                  the obligation of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor to
                  indemnify in respect of any decrement or weighted average life
                  tables included in the Registration Statement prepared by a
                  person other than Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor (and not
                  on behalf of Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor) shall be
                  limited to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
                  therein or omission therefrom that results directly from an
                  error in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower
                  or Borrower Parent/Sponsor).

                                    (iii) Reimburse the Goldman Group and/or the
                  Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably
                  incurred by any such Persons in connection with investigating
                  or defending the Liabilities as such expenses are incurred.

                  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor may otherwise have.

                  (d) In connection with each filing under the Exchange Act
which Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor have had an opportunity to review
pursuant to Section 5(b) above and which reflects any changes reasonably
required by Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor in writing prior to the
expiration of the applicable Review Period to provide the indemnity set forth in
this Section 5(d), each of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor agrees to (i)
indemnify and hold harmless the Goldman Group for any Liabilities, joint and
several, to which the Goldman Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Borrower Disclosure Information contained in such filings or the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document, contained in such filings
a material fact specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor, the
Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property, the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans,
if any, required to be stated in the Disclosure Document necessary in order to
make the statements in the Disclosure Document specifically relating to
Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor, Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property,
the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (except if such omitted fact was
specifically identified in a writing delivered to GSMC prior to the expiration
of the applicable review period) or arise out of or are based upon the failure
of the Borrower Disclosure Information to be accurate and complete in all
material respects and (ii) reimburse the Goldman Group and/or the Underwriter
Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Goldman Group
and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the



                                       8
<PAGE>   9


Liabilities as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor may
otherwise have.

                  (e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section, notify Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor in writing
of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify shall not relieve
Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor from any liability which any of them may
have to any indemnified party hereunder. In the event that any action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower and Borrower
Parent/Sponsor of the commencement thereof, each of Borrower and Borrower
Parent/Sponsor will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that
they in their sole discretion may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to
such indemnified party (in its reasonable discretion, but such counsel shall
not, except with the consent of the indemnified party in its sole discretion, be
counsel to the indemnifying party). No indemnifying party shall, without the
written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise
of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or
threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or
potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or
judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by
or on behalf of any indemnified party. After notice from Borrower or Borrower
Parent/Sponsor to such indemnified party under this Section, neither Borrower
nor Borrower Parent/Sponsor shall be liable hereunder for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
if the defendants in any such action include both (x) the indemnified party and
(y) each of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor, and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to
those available to Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties. Neither Borrower nor Borrower Parent/Sponsor
shall be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel for all
indemnified parties unless an indemnified party reasonably determines that joint
representation of such indemnified party and another indemnified party by the
same counsel would constitute a significant conflict of interest that cannot be
avoided without retaining separate counsel.

                  (f) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 5(c) or
5(d) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under
Section 5(c) or 5(d), each of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof);
provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within



                                       9
<PAGE>   10


the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the
respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i)
the relative knowledge of, and access to, information concerning the matter with
respect to which the claim was asserted of the Goldman Group and the Underwriter
Group, on the one hand, and of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor on the
other; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission;
and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor hereby agree that it may not be equitable
if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita
allocation.

                  Section 6. Rating Surveillance. GSMC will have the right to
retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on the
Certificates and the annual cost of such ongoing rating surveillance will be at
the expense of GSMC.

                  Section 7. Retention of Servicer. GSMC reserves the right to
retain a Servicer (as well as a special servicer) to act as its agent hereunder
with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Servicer (or such special
servicer) by GSMC, whether pursuant to the Loan Agreement, a Servicing
Agreement, a Deposit Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall not be responsible
for the payment of the Servicer's annual fee for master servicing (as
distinguished from special servicing); provided that, Borrower shall pay any
fees and expenses of the Servicer in connection with a prepayment of the Loan,
release of the Property, assumption of the Loan, modification of the Loan made
at Borrower's request, any requests by Borrower for waivers or consents, and the
enforcement of the Loan Documents after an Event of Default and any other
expenses of GSMC that are required to be paid by Borrowers under the Loan
Documents.

                  Section 8. Breach of Agreement. In the event Borrower or
Borrower Parent/Sponsor fails to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement,
GSMC shall be entitled to notify Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor, as the
case may be, in writing (including by facsimile) of such failure; thereupon,
Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor, as the case may be, shall have five (5)
Business Days from the receipt of any such notice to cure such failure to
fulfill its obligations hereunder. If, following notice from GSMC and the
expiration of such period, the continued failure by Borrower or Borrower
Parent/Sponsor or any other Person to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement in respect of which GSMC has delivered notice hereunder, will, upon
further written notice from GSMC, in and of itself constitute an immediate event
of default under this Agreement, and if the following occurs at a time when the
Loan is not an asset of or collateral for a Securitization, an immediate Event
of Default under each Loan Document to which Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor
is now or hereafter becomes a party (without regard to any notice requirement or
cure period provided in any such document and whether or not expressly provided
for as an Event of Default) and will entitle GSMC to pursue any or all of its
remedies at law and under any such document. The terms of Section 12.24 of the
Loan Agreement (captioned "Exculpation") shall not be applicable with respect to
the obligations of Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor under this Agreement.

<PAGE>   11


                  Section 9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate if a
Securitization has not occurred on or before the second anniversary of this
Agreement. From and after the closing of a Securitization, Borrower and Borrower
Parent/Sponsor shall no longer have any obligations under Section 2 (other than
Section 2(a)(3)) of this Agreement.

                  Section 10. Loan Summary. In addition to any other certificate
required under the terms of this Agreement, upon the request of GSMC and as soon
as reasonably practical after the date hereof each of Borrower and Borrower
Parent/Sponsor shall execute a certificate in favor of GSMC in substantially the
form set forth on Exhibit B hereto (A) certifying that (i) each of Borrower and
Borrower Parent/Sponsor has reviewed the summary of the Loan prepared on behalf
of GSMC for inclusion in the Disclosure Document (the "Loan Summary") and (ii)
as of the date hereof, the information contained in the Loan Summary pertaining
to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor, the Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the
Property, the Loan and the Bifurcation Loans is accurate and complete in all
material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
and does not omit to state a material fact specifically relating to Borrower,
Borrower Parent/Sponsor, the Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property, the
Loan or the Bifurcation Loans, if any, necessary to make the statements made in
the Loan Summary specifically relating to Borrower, Borrower Parent/Sponsor,
Bifurcation Borrowers, if any, the Property, the Loan or the Bifurcation Loans,
if any, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
and (B) consenting to GSMC's use of such Loan Summary in a Disclosure Document.

                  Section 11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND MADE BY GSMC AND ACCEPTED BY BORROWER AND BORROWER

designate by notice to the other parties.

                  Section 15. Rules of Construction. The headings used in this
Agreement are for convenience only and constitute no part of this Agreement, and
references herein to articles, sections, subsections or clauses are to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words
"hereof", "herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
provision of this Agreement. The words "includes", "including" and similar terms
shall be construed as if followed by the words "without limitation". Unless
otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so
defined. As used herein, the term "reasonably obtainable" by Borrower or similar
terms, when qualifying Borrower's obligation to deliver a report, statement or
other item hereunder, shall take into account the other obligations of Borrower
and Borrower Parent/Sponsor under the Loan Documents that may relate to the
preparation and/or delivery of such report, statement or other item, and shall
be construed to mean reasonably obtainable by the Borrower, its asset manager,
its property manager, and/or Borrower Parent/Sponsor. Whenever in this Agreement
any Person is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of such Person.

                  Section 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  Section 17. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification,
amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose,
for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or
demand on Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor, shall entitle Borrower or
Borrower Parent/Sponsor to any other or future notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances. Any failure or delay by GSMC in insisting upon
strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising
any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, shall operate as or constitute
a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege.

                  Section 18. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any 



                                       14

provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.

                  Section 19. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is
solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, together with the Goldman Group
and the Underwriter Group, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
confer upon other Person any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained herein.

                  Section 20. Obligations Joint and Several The obligations of
Borrower and Borrower Parent/Sponsor hereunder shall be joint and several as
among Borrower Parent/Sponsor and each of the Persons included hereinabove
within the definition of "Borrower", and their respective successors and
assigns.

                  Section 21. No Securitization or Bifurcation Expense to
Borrower or Borrower Parent/Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, neither Borrower nor Borrower Parent/Sponsor shall have
obligation to pay or reimburse GSMC for any expenses incurred by GSMC or its
affiliates in connection with the Securitization, the issuance of Certificates
and any related arrangements or incurred in connection with a Bifurcation;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to apply to the
obligations set forth in Sections 5 or 8 hereof.

         or Other Property prior to the date on which the actual payment of rent
         is required to commence thereunder (provided that such prepaid rent
         shall be included in Project Income at such time as the obligation to
         pay such rent accrues), (d) any item of income otherwise includable in
         Project Income with respect to such Project or Other Property but paid
         directly by any tenant to a person other than the respective Project

         4. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

                  (a) Payment of Interest. Commencing on October 1, 1998, and on
         the first day of each succeeding month (each, an "Interest Payment
         Date") to and including the first day of the Loan Month in which the
         Initially Scheduled Maturity Date (or the Extended Maturity Date, if
         applicable) occurs, interest on the Principal Balance of the Loan at
         the Applicable Interest Rate shall be payable monthly in arrears.

                  (b) Payments on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, a
         final installment shall be payable, which installment shall include:

                           (i) all unpaid amounts of the Principal Balance of
                  the Loan;

                           (ii) interest accrued and unpaid thereon at the

                  Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         5. EXTENSION. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall have the right to extend the maturity of this Note to
the date (the "Extended Maturity Date") that is 180 days from the date hereof
(the "Extension") provided that Borrower's right to extend the Loan shall be
subject to the delivery to Lender of (a) a written notice (the "Extension
Notice") of the proposed extension on or before a date which is not less than
ten (10) days prior to the Initially Scheduled Maturity Date, and (b) the
Extension Fee on the date that the Extension Notice is delivered.

         6. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each payment received by Lender from
Borrower with respect to this Note shall be applied: First, to the payment of
any late charges due and payable hereunder; Second, to the repayment of any
amounts advanced by Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents for insurance
premiums, taxes, assessments or for preservation or protection of the collateral
covered by those documents and to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in connection with the collection of this Note (including, without
limitation, all 


<PAGE>   13
                                                                             13



attorneys' fees payable hereunder); Third, to the payment of accrued interest;
and Fourth, to reduction of the Principal Balance, or in such order or
proportion as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, may determine. Payments shall
be deemed made when checks drawn against good funds are received by Lender.

         7. PREPAYMENT.

                  (a) This Note may be prepaid in whole but not in part at any
         time without premium, on any Interest Payment Date upon not less than
         10 days prior written notice to Lender (in accordance with the terms of
         this Section), provided that any such prepayment of all or any portion
         of the Principal Balance, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
         accompanied by interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the
         principal amount prepaid.

                  (b) Amounts prepaid under this Note may not be reborrowed.

                  (c) In the event of a sale of any Project or Other Property,
         the net proceeds payable to the respective Project Owner or Other
         Property Owner shall, within two (2) days of such sale, be paid to
         Lender, in repayment of the unpaid principal balance of the Note.

         8. MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. All agreements between the Borrower and
the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or
oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event, whether
by reason of acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the
amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the money to be loaned under this Note or otherwise or for the
payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any
other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Loan exceed the Maximum
Rate. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof
or any of such other agreements shall cause the amount paid to exceed the
Maximum Rate, then ipso facto, the amount paid to Lender shall be reduced to the
Maximum Rate, and if from any such circumstances the Lender shall ever receive
interest or an amount which might be deemed interest under applicable law which
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of 


<PAGE>   14
                                                                             14




the principal of this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if such
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note such
excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness
until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such
indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate now or as hereafter amended,
throughout the term thereof, (ii) be characterized as a fee, expense or other
charge other than interest, and/or (iii) exclude any voluntary prepayments and
the effects thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control
and supersede every other provision of all agreements between the Lender and the
Borrower.

         9. SECURITY. Payment of this Note is secured by the Pledge Agreement
and the Loan Documents. All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions
and stipulations contained in the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents
which are to be kept and performed by Borrower are hereby made a part of this
Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully
set forth herein, and Borrower covenants and agrees to keep and perform them, or
cause them to be kept and performed, strictly in accordance with their terms.

         10. LATE CHARGES. Time is of the essence hereof and if any of the
Principal Balance or interest on this Note or other sum due hereunder is not
paid within 10 days of notice that such payment is due, Borrower shall, at
Lender's sole option, pay to Lender a late charge payment of up to four percent
(4%) of the amount of such installment as specified in a written demand for
same. Such late charge shall not be applicable to the total payment due on the
Maturity Date; provided, however, no applicable grace or cure period shall apply
to such final payment. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the
right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a
default under this Note, the Pledge Agreement or the Loan Documents. Any late
charges which may accrue shall be due and payable not later than the date the
next monthly installment is due under this Note. Borrower agrees that the late
charge is intended to compensate Lender for damages Lender will suffer as a
result of Borrower's late payment. Such damages 

<PAGE>   15
                                                                             15




include additional expenses in servicing the Loan, sending out notices,
computing interest, segregating delinquent sums and accounting and data
processing costs. Borrower agrees that such damages are difficult or impractical
to ascertain, and the late charge is a fair and reasonable approximation of the
amount of damages sustained by Lender for each late payment. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the 10 day grace period is only applicable with
respect to the assessment of the late charge, and should not be construed as a
modification or waiver of the due date otherwise specified for any sums due
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Failure to pay said late
charge following written demand shall constitute an Event of Default.

         11. DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
outstanding balance of this Note, plus all amounts then unpaid under any Loan
Document, shall each bear interest at the Default Rate for so long as the Event
of Default shall remain uncured, payable on each Interest Payment Date. In
addition, Lender, at its option and without further notice, demand or
presentment for payment to Borrower or others, may declare immediately due and
payable the unpaid Principal Balance and interest accrued thereon together with
all other sums owed by Borrower under this Note, the Pledge Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees
as provided in Section 13), anything in this Note, the Pledge Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. Payment of such sums may
be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one or more of the
remedies provided to Lender in this Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an Event of Default under clause
(d) of the definition thereof, the unpaid Principal Balance and interest accrued
thereon together with all other sums owed by Borrower under this Note, the
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees as provided in Section 13) shall automatically become
due and payable.

         12. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies of Lender, as provided in this
Note, the Pledge Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole
discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as open as occasion therefor shall
occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall 


<PAGE>   16
                                                                             16



in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. In any action, sale of
collateral, or other proceedings to enforce this Note, the Pledge Agreement or
any other Loan Document, Lender need not file or produce the original of this
Note, but only need file or produce a photocopy of this Note certified by Lender
to be a true and correct copy of this Note.

         13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that suit be brought hereon, or an
attorney be employed or expenses be incurred to compel payment of this Note or
any portion of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or to defend the Lender's
interest under the Pledge Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Pledge
Agreement, Borrower promises to pay all such reasonable attorneys' fees, costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees incurred in collecting attorneys' fees)
all as actually incurred by Lender as a result thereof and including, without
limitation (a) reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in
appellate proceedings or in any action or participation in, or in connection
with, any case or proceeding under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto, and (b) reasonable attorneys fees,
costs and expenses incurred as a result of Lender exercising its rights to cure
any Event of Default by Borrower under this Note, the Pledge Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or as a result of the foreclosure, assignment in lieu
thereof or enforcement of the Pledge Agreement. Additionally, Borrower agrees to
pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses attributable to any
subsequent modification or restructure of this Note.

         14. WAIVER OF NOTICE BY BORROWER. BORROWER WAIVES DILIGENCE,
PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DEMAND, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF
NONPAYMENT OR DISHONOR, NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF
ACCELERATION, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PROTEST OF THIS NOTE, AND TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL OTHER NOTICES (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE,
PERFORMANCE, DEFAULT, OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE PAYMENT OF THIS NOTE. BORROWER
FURTHER WAIVES ALL VALUATION AND APPRAISEMENT PRIVILEGES, THE BRINGING OF SUIT,
CLAIMS OF LACK OF DILIGENCE OR DELAYS IN COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE,
THE RELEASE OF ANY PARTY LIABLE, THE RELEASE OF ANY SECURITY FOR THE DEBT, THE
TAKING OF ANY ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND ANY OTHER INDULGENCE OR FORBEARANCE.

         15. NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of
omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the
extent specifically set forth in the writing. The acceptance by Lender of any
payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and
payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right
to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time
or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express consent of
Lender, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. A waiver with
reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or
waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.

         16. GOVERNING LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. PURSUANT TO SECTION
5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BORROWER AGREES

CONFLICT OF LAWS). IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. AT THE SOLE OPTION OF LENDER, LENDER MAY BRING AN ACTION TO ENFORCE
THIS NOTE IN THE STATE OF OREGON AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE STATE OF OREGON OVER ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, AND BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$14,000,000.00                   Columbus, Ohio                October 13, 1998

              FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, jointly and severally if more
than one, promise to pay to the order of THE HUNTINGTON NATIONAL 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 Fourteen Million and 00/100 Dollars
($14,000,000.00), or so much thereof as shall have been advanced by the Bank at
any time and not hereafter repaid (hereinafter referred to as the "Principal
Sum"), together with interest as hereinafter provided and payable at the time(s)
and in the manner(s) hereinafter provided. The undersigned agree that the
advance of the Principal Sum made by the Bank will be evidenced by entries made
by the Bank into its electronic data processing system and/or internal memoranda
maintained by the Bank. The undersigned further agree that the sum or sums shown
on the most recent printout from the Bank's electronic data processing system
and/or on such memoranda shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amount
of the Principal Sum and of the amount of any accrued interest.

INTEREST

              Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the Principal
Sum at a rate of interest equal to the LIBO Rate (as hereinafter defined) plus
three percent (3%) per annum. At all times during such periods as the LIBO Rate
may become unavailable pursuant to the terms of this Note, interest will accrue
on the unpaid balance of the Principal Sum until paid at a variable rate of
interest per annum, which shall change in the manner set forth below, equal to
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. 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 the Prime Commercial Rate plus two percent (2%).

              As used herein, Prime Commercial Rate shall mean the rate
established by the Bank from time to time based on its consideration of
economic, money market, business and competitive factors. The Prime Commercial
Rate is not necessarily the Bank's most favored rate. Subject to any maximum or
minimum interest rate limitation specified herein or by applicable law, the rate
of interest on every Prime Interest Rate Advance obtained hereunder shall change
automatically without notice to the undersigned immediately with each change in
the Prime Commercial Rate. "Prime Interest Rate Advance" shall mean any amount
borrowed pursuant to this Note that bears interest at a rate calculated with
reference to the Prime Commercial Rate.



<PAGE>   2





              "LIBO Rate" shall mean, with respect to any LIBO Rate Advance (as
hereinafter defined) 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 a period of one (1) month 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 on the LIBO business day on which the determination is made or, if
determination is made on a day other than a LIBO business day, on the most
recently elapsed LIBO business day, as determined by the Bank 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 Bank, the obtaining
of rate quotations, or any other reasonable procedure, all as determined by the
Bank; divided by

              (b) a percentage equal to 100% minus the rate (expressed as a
percentage), if any, at which reserve requirements are imposed on the Bank, as
of the most recent LIBO business day 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 an interest period of
one (1) month. This provision is for the benefit of the Bank and is not intended
to increase the expected yield to the Bank above the rates of interest provided
for in this Note.

              "LIBO Rate Advance" shall mean any amount borrowed pursuant to
this Note 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 the Bank is open for business and a day on
which dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are carried out in the London interbank
market. Subject to any maximum or minimum interest rate limitation specified
herein or by applicable law, the rate of interest on every LIBO Rate Advance
obtained hereunder shall change automatically without notice to the undersigned
immediately with each change in the LIBO Rate.


              "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
Bank, or on the day of conversion of any then outstanding Advance to an Advance
of such type, and ending on the date one (1) month thereafter, provided, that
(a) 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 (b) each 


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3


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 Bank, 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) or (b) above, no Interest
Period shall be permitted which would end after the maturity of this Note.

                 Interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment
Date. "Interest Payment Date" shall mean the last day of each Interest Period,
the date of conversion from one type of Advance to another type of Advance and,
in the case of a Prime Interest Rate Advance, the first business day of each
month.

                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 the Bank 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 the Bank of any amounts
payable by the undersigned for LIBO Rate Advances under this Note (other than
taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Bank by the jurisdiction, or by
any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, in which
the Bank 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 the Bank, or (c)
shall impose any other condition, requirement or charge with respect to this
Note (including, without limitation, any capital adequacy requirement, any
requirement which affects the manner in which the Bank allocates capital
resources to its commitments or any similar requirement), and the result of any
of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining
the loan evidenced hereby or any Advance thereunder, to reduce the amount of any
sum receivable by the Bank thereon, or to reduce the rate of return on the
Bank's capital, provided such Regulatory Requirement is then being applied or
directed to all banks or a class of banks and not just 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, then the undersigned shall pay to the Bank, from time to time, upon
request of the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for
such increased cost, reduced sum receivable or reduced rate of return
(collectively, "Reduced Earnings") to the extent the Bank is not compensated
therefor in the computation of the interest rates applicable to the Principal
Sum and provided such Reduced Earnings are not the result of a decline in the
economic performance of such bank not resulting 



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4


from a Regulatory Requirement. A detailed statement as to the amount of such
Reduced Earnings, prepared in good faith and submitted by the Bank to the
undersigned, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes relative to the
Bank, absent manifest error in computation. This provision shall survive the
payment in full of this Note.

                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note to the
contrary, if, upon receiving a request for an Advance or a request for a
continuation of an Advance as an Advance of the then existing type or conversion
of an Advance to an Advance of another type (a) in the case of any LIBO Rate
Advance, deposits in dollars for periods of one (1) month are not available to
the Bank in the London interbank market, or (b) the LIBO Rate will not
accurately cover the cost to the Bank 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 the Bank
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 the Bank (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 undersigned 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 Bank. In the event that
such circumstances no longer exist, the Bank shall again consider requests for
LIBO Rate Advances and requests for continuations of and conversions to such
type of Advance.

                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 the Bank 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 the Bank to maintain any Advance under this Note, the undersigned
shall, upon receipt of notice thereof from the Bank, repay in full the then
outstanding principal amount of all Advances made by the Bank together with all
accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all other amounts due to the
Bank hereunder, (a) on the next Interest Payment Date, if the Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain such Advance to such day, or (b) immediately if the Bank
may not continue to maintain such Advance to such day. This provision is for the
benefit of the Bank and is not intended to increase the yield to the Bank above
the rates of interest provided for in this Note. This paragraph shall apply only
as long as such illegality exists. The Bank 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 paragraph, the undersigned may, at
its option, and at the time provided in this paragraph, convert any affected
Advance to a Prime Interest Rate Advance.

                If the undersigned fails to borrow any Advance after notice has
been given to the Bank, or fails to make any payment of principal or interest in
respect of an Advance when due or at the maturity of this Note, the undersigned
shall reimburse the Bank on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by
the Bank, determined in the Bank's 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 Bank to the undersigned
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in
computation.

MANNER OF PAYMENT

                The undersigned agree to pay an origination fee in the amount of
$70,000.00 upon the execution and delivery of this Note. A principal payment in
the amount of $1,000,000.00 shall be payable on January 13, 1999. The balance of
the Principal Sum shall be payable on April 13, 1999. Accrued interest shall be
due and payable on each Interest Payment Date, 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.

SECURITY

                This Note is secured by real estate mortgage deeds, deeds of
trust and related security documents executed and delivered contemporaneously
herewith.

              If, at the time of the payment and discharge hereof, any of the
undersigned shall be then directly or contingently liable to the Bank as maker,
indorser, surety or guarantor of any other note, bill of exchange, or other
instrument that is then in default beyond any applicable cure period, then the
Bank may continue to hold any collateral deposited hereunder after the payment
of this Note for so long as such other note, bill of exchange or other
instrument is in default, and the Bank may thereafter exercise all rights with
respect to said collateral granted herein, even though this Note shall have been
surrendered to the undersigned. The Bank shall not be bound to take any steps
necessary to preserve any rights in the collateral against prior parties. If any
obligation evidenced by this Note is not paid when due, the Bank may, at its
option, demand, sue for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems
desirable with reference to the collateral, and shall have the rights of a
secured party under the laws of the State of Ohio, and the undersigned shall be
liable for any deficiency.

streets, curb cuts or other rights of access), for any public or quasi-public
use under any law; (l) all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all
streets, roads, public places, easements and rights-of-way, existing or
proposed, public or private, adjacent to or used in connection with, belonging
or pertaining to the Property; (m) all of the leases, licenses, occupancy
agreements, rents (including without limitation, room rents), royalties,
bonuses, issues, profits, revenues or other benefits of the Property, the
Improvements or the Personal Property, including, without limitation, cash or
securities deposited pursuant to leases to secure performance by the lessees of
their obligations thereunder; (n) all rights, hereditaments and appurtenances
pertaining to the foregoing; and (o) other interests of every kind and character
that Borrower now has or at any time hereafter acquires in and to the Property,
Improvements, and Personal Property described herein and all property that is
used or useful in connection therewith, including rights of ingress and egress
and all reversionary rights or interests of Borrower with respect thereto (all
of the same, including the Property, collectively the "Mortgaged Property").

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Property, together with the rights,
privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging, unto Huntington and its
successors and assigns forever, and 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.

         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 to Huntington under the terms and
conditions of (a) a Note of even date herewith made by Borrower, Weberstown
Mall, LLC and Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership in the amount of Fourteen
Million Dollars ($14,000,000.00), payable not later than ___________, 1999,
unless extended, and any and all renewals, amendments, modifications, reductions
and extensions thereof and substitutions therefor (the "Note"); (b) the
Mortgage; and (c) any other instrument, document, certificate or affidavit
heretofore, now or hereafter given by Borrower evidencing or securing or by any
person guaranteeing (the "Guarantors") all or any part of the foregoing (the
same together with the Note 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, and easements, agreements and restrictions of record and current
real estate taxes and assessments. 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 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.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3



         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 Borrower shall repay the Indebtedness in full
without penalty within sixty (60) days after demand therefor by Huntington.

         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 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>   4


                  (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 mortgagee. 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, 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 


                                       4
<PAGE>   5


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.
Borrower may elect option (ii) above only if it first provides to Huntington
evidence satisfactory to Huntington that there will be no material decrease in
the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property.

         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 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.


                                       5
<PAGE>   6


         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 the value of the same in not diminished or when
incident to the replacement of any of the items of Personal Property with items
of like kind and value.

         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
Note) 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 Borrowers 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 where there is damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or
less shall apply as if fully rewritten.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7


         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 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.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8


                           (v) Borrower shall not collect Rents more than thirty
(30) 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 Note, 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 Note.

         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 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9



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, and
Borrower shall bear all costs thereof. 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 Note, 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 the Mortgaged Property.
Borrower shall pay Huntington a reasonable service charge, together with such
title insurance 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


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 Note,
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 showing in detail
the income, expenses and earnings of Borrower and of the Mortgaged Property, and
shall provide Huntington the following:

                  (a) a financial statement for the Mortgaged Property
consisting of a complete itemized statement of income and operating expenses,
prepared in accordance with general accounting principles or otherwise in form
acceptable to Huntington and certified by Borrower's chief executive or
financial officer, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of
Borrower, or as requested from time to time by Huntington, but not more often
than quarterly;

                  (b) a rent roll of the Mortgaged Property, certified by the
chief executive or financial officer of Borrower, within thirty (30) days after
the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by
Huntington, but not more often than quarterly, containing the name and address
of each tenant, square footage of leased premises, annual rent, rent per square
foot, lease commencement date, lease expiration date, date through which rent is
paid, and the nature and extent of any defaults by each tenant;

                  (c) a financial statement for Borrower consisting of a balance
sheet and a complete itemized statement of annual income and operating expenses
of Borrower, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or otherwise in form acceptable to Huntington and certified by
Borrower's chief executive or financial officer, within ninety (90) days after
the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by
Huntington;

                  (d) such other financial information as Huntington may
reasonably require, when requested from time to time by Huntington.

         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

         (b) Borrower represents and warrants to Huntington that, to its
knowledge after due investigation except as may be set forth in the

                           (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

         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 


                                       12
<PAGE>   13



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 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 Note.

         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

provided however, that either party shall have the right to change such party's

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 as
of the 13th day of October, 1998.

use under any law; (l) all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all

proposed, public or private, adjacent to or used in connection with, belonging
or pertaining to the Property; (m) all of the leases, licenses, occupancy

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Mortgaged Property, together with the rights,
privileges and appurtenances thereto belonging, unto Huntington and its
successors and assigns forever, and 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
Dayton Hudson Corporation as tenant under the aforementioned ground lease (the
"Ground Lease"), and easements, agreements and restrictions of record and
current real estate taxes and assessments.

         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 to Huntington under the terms and
conditions of (a) a Note of even date herewith made by Borrower, Weberstown
Mall, LLC and Glimcher Development Corporation in the amount of Fourteen Million
Dollars ($14,000,000.00), payable not later than ___________, 1999, unless
extended, and any and all renewals, amendments, modifications, reductions and
extensions thereof and substitutions therefor (the "Note"); (b) the Mortgage;
and (c) any other instrument, document, certificate or affidavit heretofore, now
or hereafter given by Borrower evidencing or securing or by any person
guaranteeing (the "Guarantors") all or any part of the foregoing (the same
together with the Note 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, subject to the Ground Lease, and
easements, agreements and restrictions of record and current real estate taxes
and assessments. 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 shall furnish to Huntington evidence of
the title of Borrower to the Mortgaged Property from time to time hereafter as
may be deemed reasonably necessary by and satisfactory to Huntington, and
Borrower shall promptly pay the cost of said title evidence when due and
payable.

         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 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, 


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

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 or cause to
be paid 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 Borrower shall repay the Indebtedness in full
without penalty within sixty (60) days after demand therefor by Huntington.

         8. 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 or cause to be paid taxes or assessments 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 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 



                                       3
<PAGE>   4


be construed as in any way limiting the rights of Huntington at its option to
pay any and all of said items when due.

          9. INSURANCE. In the event Borrower shall acquire title to the
Improvements, it shall furnish Huntington such insurance coverage, and in such
amounts as Huntington may reasonably require.

         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. ADVANCES SECURED BY MORTGAGE. Upon failure of Borrower to comply
with any of these covenants and agreements as to the payment of taxes or
assessment, and other charges, 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 Note) 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.

         12. 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.

         13. CONDEMNATION. If all or any part of the Property or Improvements is
damaged, taken or acquired, either temporarily or permanently, 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 relating to the Property, 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. Any award or payment so received by Huntington may at the option
of Huntington be retained and applied, in whole or in part, to the Indebtedness
(whether or not then due and payable) in such manner as Huntington may determine
or released in whole or in part to Borrower.

         14. ASSIGNMENT OF GROUND LEASE.

                  (a) Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Huntington and Huntington's successors and assigns
all of its right, title and interest as lessor under the Ground Lease and all
future leases covering the Mortgaged Property, 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 Ground Lease or any
extensions or renewals thereof, all liquidated damages following default under
the Ground Lease 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
the tenant under the Ground Lease 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.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5


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

                           (i) Borrower has good title to lessor's interest in
the Ground Lease 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 Ground Lease or Rents.

                           (ii) Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, perform and discharge all of the obligations and undertakings of the
landlord under the Ground Lease 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 the tenant under
the Ground Lease and shall appear in and prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Ground Lease or
the obligations and undertakings of the tenant thereunder.

                           (iii) Borrower shall not further pledge, transfer,
mortgage or otherwise encumber the Ground Lease or the Rents.

                  (c) Huntington shall not be obligated to perform or discharge
any obligation or duty to be performed or discharged by Borrower under the
Ground Lease; and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Huntington for, and to
save Huntington harmless from, any and all liability, damage or expense arising
from the Ground Lease or from this assignment. 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 Note, 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 tenant under the Ground
Lease to pay all of the Rents directly to Huntington, for which this assignment
shall be sufficient warrant;

                           (ii) Huntington shall have the right 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 (i) or (ii) above, the net income, after allowing a reasonable fee
for the collection thereof of the Mortgaged Property, may be applied toward the
payment of taxes and assessments and protection of the Mortgaged Property or
Huntington's lien thereon, and other charges against the Mortgaged Property, 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 of 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
Note.

         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 tenant under
the Ground Lease to pay Rents to Huntington upon written demand by Huntington,
without further consent of Borrower the tenant under the Ground Lease may rely
upon any written statement delivered by 



                                       5
<PAGE>   6


Huntington to it. Any such payment to Huntington shall constitute payment to
Borrower under the Ground Lease.

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

         15. 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, and
Borrower shall bear all costs thereof. 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 herein, Huntington shall have the remedies of a
secured party under the UCC and, at Huntington's option, may also invoke the
remedies provided herein with respect to such property.

         16. DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Note, 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 subject to the rights of the
tenant under the Ground Lease and/or have a receiver appointed therefor as set
forth herein.

         17. 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 16 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 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Huntington's option for any
such action if taken at Borrower's request.

         18. 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.

         19. 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 Note,
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.

         20. 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,

         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, its participants
in the loan evidenced by the Note and all subsequent holders of the Mortgage,
their respective successors and assigns, their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, contractors and subcontractors and any

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 except as may be set forth in the

Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no Release of any Hazardous Substance

not received any form of notice or inquiry with regard to such a Release or

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

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 the tenant
under the Ground Lease and all 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

                           (iv) Borrower shall undertake and complete all
investigations, studies, sampling and testing for Hazardous Substances

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.

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

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

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

         21. 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


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


                  (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 Note.

         22. 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.

         23. 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.

         24. 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.

         Borrower covenants that Borrower is lawfully seized of the estate
hereby conveyed and has the right to mortgage, grant, convey and assign the
Property; that the Property is unencumbered except for the lien of this
Instrument and the lien of real estate taxes and assessments not yet due; and
that Borrower will warrant and defend generally the title to the Property
against all claims and demands, whatsoever, except for the lien of real estate
taxes and assessments, easements and restrictions of record and any other
encumbrances approved by Lender for inclusion in the title insurance policy to
be issued to insure the lien of this Instrument.

         Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows:

          1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrower shall promptly pay when
due the principal of and interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any
prepayment and late charges provided in the Note, and all other sums secured by
this Instrument. Borrower shall timely perform its other obligations under the
Note and under the other instruments given to secure the indebtedness secured by
this Instrument.

          2. 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 Property, or
any part thereof, or upon Lender's interest therein, or upon the Property 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 Lender; 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 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 Lender's interest
in the Property, the Deed of Trust or the Indebtedness cannot be lawfully paid
by Borrower, then Borrower shall repay the Indebtedness in full without penalty
within sixty (60) days after demand therefor by Lender.

          Upon default in payment of any of the following described items, or
upon the occurrence of any other event of default under this Instrument or under
the Note, Lender shall have the right, at its option, and if Lender does not
elect to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby and to pursue its other
remedies, to require Borrower to pay to Lender on the day monthly installments
of principal or interest are payable under the Note (or on another day
designated in writing by Lender), until the Note is paid in full, a sum (herein
"Funds") equal to one-twelfth of (a) the yearly water and sewer rates and taxes
and assessments which may be levied on the Property; (b) the yearly ground
rents, if any; (c) the yearly premium installments for fire and other hazard
insurance, rent loss insurance and such other insurance 



                                       2
<PAGE>   3


covering the Property as Lender may require pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof; and
(d) such other Funds for other taxes, charges, premiums, assessments and
impositions in connection with Borrower or the Property which Lender shall
reasonably deem necessary to protect Lender's interests (herein "Other
Impositions"); all as reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by
Lender.

         The Funds shall be held and applied by Lender to pay said rates, rents,
taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions so long as Borrower
is not in breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument.
Lender shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing
said account or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills, unless
Lender is required under applicable law to pay Borrower interest, earnings or
profits on the Funds and applicable law permits Lender to make such a charge.
Unless applicable law requires interest, earnings or profits to be paid, Lender
shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the
Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of
the Funds in Lender's normal format showing credits and debits to the Funds and
the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as
additional security for the sums secured by this Instrument and shall be subject
to the right of set off.

         If the amount of the Funds held by Lender at the time of the annual
accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide
for the payment of water and sewer rates, taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as they fall due, such excess shall be
credited to Borrower on the next monthly installment or installments of Funds
due. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall be less than
the amount deemed necessary by Lender to pay water and sewer rates, taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as they fall due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
immediately after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

         Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Instrument, Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Lender shall
determine in Lender's sole discretion, any Funds held by Lender at the time of
application (a) to pay rates, rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and
Other Impositions which are now or will hereafter become due, or (b) as a credit
against sums secured by this Instrument. Upon payment in full of all sums
secured by this Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Funds
held by Lender.

          3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Unless applicable law provides otherwise,
all payments received from Borrower under the Note or this Instrument shall be
applied in the following order of priority: (a) amounts payable to Lender by
Borrower under paragraph 2 hereof; (b) interest payable on the Note; (c)
principal of the Note; (d) interest payable on advances made pursuant to
paragraph 8 hereof; (e) principal of advances made pursuant to paragraph 8
hereof; and (f) any other sums secured by this Instrument in such order as
Lender, at Lender's option, may determine; provided, however, that Lender may,
at Lender's option, apply any sums payable pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof prior
to interest on and principal of the Note, but such application shall not
otherwise affect the order of priority of application specified in this
paragraph 3.

          4. CHARGES; LIENS. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which
has, or may have, priority over or equality with, the lien of this Instrument
(other than the lien of real estate taxes and assessments which shall be paid in
accordance with the preceding paragraph), and Borrower shall pay, when due, the
claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to or in connection with the
Property. Without Lender's prior written permission, Borrower shall not allow
any lien, encumbrance, or other interest in the Property inferior to the lien of
this Instrument to be perfected against the Property, provided that Borrower may
contest any mechanic's or materialman's lien in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings; further provided that Borrower shall cause such mechanic's or
materialman's lien to be promptly discharged of record upon commencement of any
judicial proceeding to enforce such lien and shall pay all expenses incurred by
Lender in order to protect the lien of this Instrument.

          5. 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 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 Property and sufficient to prevent Borrower and Lender from becoming
co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions acceptable to Lender;


                                       3
<PAGE>   4


                  (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 Lender;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Lender) 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 Lender;

                  (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 5(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Lender;

                  (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 Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with terms and
conditions acceptable to Lender;

                  (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 Lender; and

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

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Lender. 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
Lender, showing Lender as mortgagee. Each policy of liability insurance shall
show Lender as an additional insured. Unless the policy so provides, each policy
of insurance required by the terms of this Instrument shall contain an
endorsement by the insurer, for the benefit of Lender, (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
Lender.

         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 Lender in
writing.

         Lender shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Lender with certified copies of the policies, and Borrower
shall promptly furnish to Lender 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 Lender a renewal policy, or certificate
thereof, in form acceptable to Lender.

         If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning the
Loan Documents as hereinafter defined or the Property or any part thereof or
interest therein or the occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall
indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from all liability by reason of said
litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Lender
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 Lender,
its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to
Borrower, the 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 this Instrument.

         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 Lender has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Lender as a named insured with loss payable to Lender under a
standard mortgage clause of 



                                       4
<PAGE>   5


the character above described. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender whenever
any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Lender
copies of the policies and certificates evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall prevent Borrower from keeping
the Improvements and Property insured or causing the same to be insured against
the risks referred to in this Section 5 under a policy or policies of blanket
insurance which may cover other property not subject to the lien of this
Instrument; provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i)
shall specify therein the amount of the total insurance allocated to the
Improvements and Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount
otherwise required to be carried under this Instrument; (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 this Instrument.

         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.
Borrower may elect option (ii) above only if it first provides to Lender
evidence satisfactory to Lender that there will be no material decrease in the
fair market value of the Property.

         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
Lender as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring or reconstructing
the Improvements. Such proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender as work progresses,
provided that prior to any disbursement, Lender 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, Lender 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 Property as existed immediately prior to the loss and the plans and
specifications therefor must be approved by Lender. In the event Lender believes
it is necessary in order to establish value, Lender may, at its option, cause
the Property to be reappraised at Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds
shall be payable to Lender. The adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the
carrier must be approved by Lender.

         Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds
shall, at the sole option of Lender, be applied by Lender to the Indebtedness in
such order as Lender may determine.

          6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower (a) shall not
commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property, (b) shall
not abandon the Property, (c) shall restore or repair promptly and in a good and
workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its
original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in writing, in
the event of any damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance
proceeds are sufficient to cover in whole or in part the costs of such
restoration or repair, (d) shall keep the Property, including Improvements,
fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances thereon in good repair and shall
replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when
necessary to keep such items in good repair, (e) materially shall comply with
all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body
applicable to the Property, (f) shall operate the Property as a shopping center,
and (g) shall give notice in writing to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed
in writing by Lender, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting
to affect the Property, the security of this Instrument or the rights or powers
of Lender. Neither Borrower nor any tenant or other person shall remove,
demolish or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the
Property or any fixture, equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the Property
except when incident to the replacement of fixtures, equipment, machinery and
appliances with items of like kind.

          7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless Lender
has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow changes in the use for
which all or any part of the 


                                       5
<PAGE>   6


Property was intended at the time this Instrument was executed. Borrower shall
not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the
Property without Lender's prior written consent.

          8. PROTECTION OF LENDER'S SECURITY. If Borrower fails to perform the
covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument, or if any action or
proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the
interest of Lender therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain,
insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a
bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender's option may make such appearances,
disburse such sums and take such action as Lender deems necessary, in its sole
discretion, to protect Lender's interest, including, but not limited to, (a)
disbursement of attorney's fees, (b) entry upon the Property to make repairs,
and (c) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided in paragraph 5 hereof.

         Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this paragraph, with
interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by
this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of payment,
such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from
the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless collection from
Borrower of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which
event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be
collected from Borrower under applicable law. Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees that Lender shall be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust or other
lien discharged, in whole or in part, by the indebtedness secured hereby.
Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require Lender to incur any expense or
take any action hereunder.

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

         10. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Lender's inspection showing in detail the
income, expenses and earnings of Borrower and of the Property, and shall provide
Lender the following:

                  (a) a financial statement for the Property consisting of a
complete itemized statement of income and operating expenses, prepared in
accordance with general accounting principles or otherwise in form acceptable to
Lender and certified by Borrower's chief executive or financial officer, within
ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested
from time to time by Lender, but not more often than quarterly;

                  (b) a rent roll of the Property, certified by the chief
executive or financial officer of Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the
end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by
Lender, but not more often than quarterly, containing the name and address of
each tenant, square footage of leased premises, annual rent, rent per square
foot, lease commencement date, lease expiration date, date through which rent is
paid, and the nature and extent of any defaults by each tenant;

                  (c) a financial statement for Borrower consisting of a balance
sheet and a complete itemized statement of annual income and operating expenses
of Borrower, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or otherwise in form acceptable to Lender and certified by Borrower's
chief executive or financial officer, within ninety (90) days after the end of
each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by Lender;

                  (d) such other financial information as Lender may reasonably
require, when requested from time to time by Lender.

         11. CONDEMNATION. If all the Property and Improvements are taken or
acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of eminent
domain or, with Lender'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 Lender, and Lender 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 Lender. Such award or payment
so received by Lender 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 



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

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 5 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 5 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 Lender as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing,
restoring, or reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and shall be
disbursed by Lender in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 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 Lender 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 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 11 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 Lender, be
applied by Lender to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender may determine.

         12. BORROWER AND LIEN NOT RELEASED. From time to time, Lender may, at
Lender's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Borrower,
Borrower's successors or assigns or of any junior lienholder or guarantors,
without liability on Lender's part and notwithstanding Borrower's breach of any
covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, extend the time for
payment of said indebtedness or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon,
release anyone liable on any of said indebtedness, accept a renewal note or
notes therefor, direct Trustee to release from the lien of this Instrument any
part of the Property, take or release other or additional security, reconvey any
part of the Property, consent to any map or plan of the 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 Lender pursuant to the terms of this
paragraph shall not affect the obligation of Borrower or Borrower's successors
or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Instrument and to observe the
covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not affect the guaranty of any
person, corporation, partnership or other entity for payment of the indebtedness
secured hereby, and shall not affect the lien or priority of lien hereof on the
Property. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable service charge, together with
such title insurance premiums and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Lender's
option for any such action if taken at Borrower's request.

         13. FORBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable
law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
The acceptance by Lender of payment of any sum secured by this Instrument after
the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to either
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a
default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the
payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of
Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this
Instrument. Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under paragraphs
5 and 11 hereof shall not operate to cure or waive Borrower's default in payment
of sums secured by this Instrument.

         14. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall, within 10 days of a written
request from Lender, furnish Lender with a written statement, duly acknowledged,
setting forth the sums secured by this Instrument and any right of set-off,
counterclaim or other defense which exists against such sums and the obligations
of this Instrument.

         15. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. In addition to being a
deed of trust and assignment of rents, this Instrument is intended to be a
security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items
specified above as part of the Property which under applicable law, may be
subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and
Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in said items. Borrower agrees
that Lender 



                                       7
<PAGE>   8


may file this Instrument, or a reproduction thereof, in the real estate records
or other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of the items
specified above as part of the Property. Any reproduction of this Instrument or
of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to
Lender, upon Lender's request, any financing statements, as well as extensions,
renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Instrument in such
form as Lender may require to perfect a security interest with respect to said
items. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any
extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof. Without the prior written
consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created pursuant to
the Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in said items, including
replacements and additions thereto. Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Borrower contained in this Instrument, including the covenants to
pay when due all sums secured by this Instrument, Lender shall have the remedies
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Lender's option,
may also invoke the remedies provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument as to
such items. In exercising any of said remedies, Lender may proceed against the
items of real property and any items of personal property specified above as
part of the Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without
in any way affecting the availability of Lender's remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code or of the remedies provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument.

         16. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Borrower shall comply with and observe
Borrower's obligations as landlord under all leases of the Property or any part
thereof. Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all leases now
existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.

         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.

         Borrower does hereby assign to Lender, as additional security, all
leases now existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property and, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, all security deposits made by tenants in
connection with such leases of the Property. Upon Borrower's default, Lender, at
Lender's option, shall have all of the rights and powers possessed by Borrower
prior to such assignment.

         17. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Instrument is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or
successively, in any order whatsoever.

         18. ACCELERATION IN CASE OF BORROWER'S INSOLVENCY. If Borrower shall
voluntarily file a petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as such Code may
from time to time be amended, or under any similar or successor Federal Statute
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangements or reorganizations, or under
any state bankruptcy or insolvency act, or file an answer in an involuntary
proceeding admitting insolvency or failure to pay debts as they come due, or if
Borrower shall fail within 60 days to obtain a vacation, stay or dismissal of
involuntary proceedings brought for the reorganization, dissolution or
liquidation of Borrower, or if an order for relief under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code shall be entered against Borrower, or if a trustee, receiver or custodian
shall be appointed for Borrower or Borrower's property, or if the Property shall
become subject to the jurisdiction of a Federal bankruptcy court or similar
state court, or if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of
Borrower's creditors, or if there is an attachment, execution or other judicial
seizure of any portion of Borrower's assets and such seizure is not discharged
within 60 days, then Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all of the sums
secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and payable without prior
notice to Borrower, and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by paragraph 25
of this Instrument. Any attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with Borrower's bankruptcy or any of the other aforesaid events shall
be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Instrument pursuant to
paragraph 8 hereof.

         19. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN BORROWER. On
sale, encumbrance. or transfer of (a) all or any part of the Property, or any
interest therein, or (b) beneficial interests in Borrower, Lender may, at
Lender's option, declare all of the sums 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9


secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may
invoke any remedies permitted by paragraph 25 of this Instrument. This option
shall not apply in case of:

                           (i) transfers by devise or descent or by operation of
law upon the death of a tenant in common or a partner;

                           (ii) the grant of a leasehold interest in a part of
the Property of three years or less (or such longer lease term as Lender may
permit by prior written approval) not containing an option to purchase (except
any interest in the ground lease, if this Instrument encumbers a leasehold); and

                           (iii) sales or transfers of fixtures or any personal
property pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof.

         20. 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 Lender 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.

         If to Borrower:       Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
                               20 South Third Street
                               Columbus, Ohio  43215
                               Attention: General Counsel

         If to Lender:         The Huntington National Bank
                               Commercial Real Estate Group
                               41 South High Street
                               Columbus, Ohio 43215


         21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; AGENTS;
CAPTIONS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the
rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of Lender
and Borrower, subject to the provisions of paragraph 19 hereof. All covenants
and agreements of Borrower shall be joint and several. In exercising any rights
hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Lender may act through its
employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Lender. The
captions and headings of the paragraphs of this Instrument are for convenience
only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.

         22. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Instrument shall be governed by
the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In the event that
any provision of this Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such
conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Instrument or the Note which
can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to this end the
provisions of this Instrument and the Note are declared to be severable. In the
event that any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charge
permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge
provided for in this Instrument or in the Note, whether considered separately or
together with other charges levied in connection with this Instrument and the
Note, violates such law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law,
such charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such
violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the
amounts payable to Lender pursuant to such charges as reduced shall be applied
by Lender to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. For
the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of
interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been
violated, all indebtedness which is secured by this Instrument or evidenced by
the Note and which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in
connection with such indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to
be uniformly allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note.

         23. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; WAIVER OF APPRAISAL. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives the right to assert
any statute of limitations 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action
brought to enforce the Note or any other obligation secured by this Instrument.

         To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives any
right of appraisal of the Property. In the event of foreclosure pursuant to
paragraph 25 hereof, Lender may, at Lender's option, obtain an appraisal of the
Property, and any funds expended by Lender for such purpose shall become
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument.

         24. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other
security interests in the Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender
shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property
shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Lender shall have the right
to determine the order in which any or all portions of the indebtedness secured
hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who consents to this Instrument,
and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property
and who has actual or constructive notice hereof 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, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

         25. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Borrower in the Note or this Instrument, including, but not limited
to, the covenants to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace
period, any sums secured by this Instrument, Lender, at Lender's option, may
declare all of the sums secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and
payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other
remedies permitted by applicable law or as provided herein. Borrower
acknowledges that the power of sale herein granted may be invoked by Lender and
exercised by Trustee without prior judicial hearing. Borrower has the right to
bring an action to assert the non-existence of a breach or any other defense of
Borrower to acceleration and sale. Lender shall be entitled to collect all costs
and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to
attorneys fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.
Reference in this paragraph 25 and in other paragraphs of this Instrument to
"breach" or "default" shall mean the continuance of such event or circumstance
beyond any applicable grace period or notice and cure period provided in this
Instrument or in the Note.

         If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender or Trustee shall give to
Borrower a copy of a notice of sale in the manner prescribed by applicable law.
Trustee shall give public notice of sale in the manner prescribed by applicable
law and shall sell the Property in accordance with the laws of Virginia.
Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell the Property at public auction
to the highest bidder 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. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any parcel of the Property by
public announcement at the time and place of any previously scheduled sale or by
advertising in accordance with applicable law. Lender or Lender's designee may
purchase the Property at any sale.

         Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser Trustee's deed conveying the
Property so sold with special warranty of title. The recitals in 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 accordance with the provisions
of Section 55-59.4 of the Code of Virginia, as amended and effective on the date
hereof. Trustee shall not be required to provide possession of the Property to
the purchaser at such sale.

         26. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note,
Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender
all the rents and revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due,
or to become due by virtue of any lease, license or other agreement for the
occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the
rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Borrower hereby authorizes
Lender or Lender's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby
directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Lender or Lender's
agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Lender to
Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in
this Instrument, Borrower shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of
the Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, to apply the
rents and revenues so collected to the sums secured by this Instrument in the
order provided in paragraph 3 hereof with the balance, so long as no such breach
has occurred, to the account of Borrower, it being intended by Borrower and
Lender that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not
an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by
Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any covenant or 



                                       10
<PAGE>   11


agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, and without the necessity of Lender
entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person,
by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled
to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this
paragraph as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to rents
then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such
notice be held by Borrower as trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided,
however, that the written notice by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower
shall contain a statement that Lender exercises its rights to such rents.
Borrower agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of
Borrower's breach by Lender to Borrower, each tenant of the Property shall make
such rents payable to and pay such rents to Lender or Lender's agents on
Lender's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant
personally, by mail or delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any
liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a
default by Borrower.

         Borrower hereby covenants that Borrower has not executed any prior
assignment of said rents, that Borrower has not performed, and will not perform,
any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any instrument which would
prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this paragraph, and that at the
time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or
prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than 1 month prior to
the due dates of such rents. Borrower covenants that Borrower will not hereafter
collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than 1 month prior
to the due dates of such rents. Borrower further covenants that Borrower will
execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of rents and revenues of
the Property as Lender may from time to time request.

         Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Instrument, Lender may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver,
regardless of the adequacy of Lender's security, enter upon and take and
maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and
appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited
to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all
rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and
the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or
maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the
security of this Instrument. In the event Lender elects to seek the appointment
of a receiver for the Property upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or
agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, Borrower hereby expressly consents to
the appointment of such receiver. Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to
receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.

         All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written
notice by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any covenant or
agreement of Borrower in this Instrument shall be applied first to the costs, if
any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents,
including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on
receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance
policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of
discharging any obligation or liability of Borrower as lessor or landlord of the
Property and then to the sums secured by this Instrument. Lender or the receiver
shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance
of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually
received. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or
through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of
anything done or left undone by Lender under this paragraph.

         If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if
any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents,
any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become indebtedness of
Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof.
Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment
thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated
in the Note.

         Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property
by Lender or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall
not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy
of Lender under applicable law or as provided herein. This assignment of rents
shall terminate at such time as this Instrument ceases to secure indebtedness
held by Lender.

not allow any such Impositions so contested to remain unpaid for such length of
time as shall permit all or any portion of the Property, or the lien thereon

maintain adequate book reserves with respect to such Impositions being
contested.

         In the event that one or more of the Impositions on Lender's interest

by Borrower, then Borrower shall repay the Indebtedness in full without penalty
within sixty (60) days after demand therefor by Lender.

<PAGE>   3


         Upon default in payment of any of the following described items, or
upon the occurrence of any other event of default under this Instrument or under
the Note, Lender shall have the right, at its option, and if Lender does not
elect to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby and to pursue its other
remedies, to require Borrower to pay to Lender on the day monthly installments
of principal or interest are payable under the Note (or on another day
designated in writing by Lender), until the Note is paid in full, a sum (herein
"Funds") equal to one-twelfth of (a) the yearly water and sewer rates and taxes
and assessments which may be levied on the Property; (b) the yearly ground
rents, if any; (c) the yearly premium installments for fire and other hazard
insurance, rent loss insurance and such other insurance covering the Property as
Lender may require pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof; and (d) such other Funds for
other taxes, charges, premiums, assessments and impositions in connection with
Borrower or the Property which Lender shall reasonably deem necessary to protect
Lender's interests (herein "Other Impositions"); all as reasonably estimated
initially and from time to time by Lender.

         The Funds shall be held and applied by Lender to pay said rates, rents,
taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions so long as Borrower
is not in breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument.
Lender shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing
said account or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills, unless
Lender is required under applicable law to pay Borrower interest, earnings or
profits on the Funds and applicable law permits Lender to make such a charge.
Unless applicable law requires interest, earnings or profits to be paid, Lender
shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the
Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of
the Funds in Lender's normal format showing credits and debits to the Funds and
the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as
additional security for the sums secured by this Instrument and shall be subject
to the right of set off.

         If the amount of the Funds held by Lender at the time of the annual
accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide
for the payment of water and sewer rates, taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as they fall due, such excess shall be
credited to Borrower on the next monthly installment or installments of Funds
due. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall be less than
the amount deemed necessary by Lender to pay water and sewer rates, taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as they fall due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
immediately after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

         Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Instrument, Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Lender shall
determine in Lender's sole discretion, any Funds held by Lender at the time of
application (a) to pay rates, rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and
Other Impositions which are now or will hereafter become due, or (b) as a credit
against sums secured by this Instrument. Upon payment in full of all sums
secured by this Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower any Funds
held by Lender.

         3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Unless applicable law provides otherwise,
all payments received by Lender from Borrower under the Note or this Instrument
shall be applied by Lender in the order provided in the following order of
priority: (a) amounts payable to Lender by Borrower under paragraph 2 hereof;
(b) interest payable on the Note; (c) principal payable on the Note; (d)
interest payable on advances made pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof; (e) principal
of advances made pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof; and (f) any other sums secured
by this Instrument in such order as Lender, at Lender's option, may determine;
provided, however, that Lender may, at Lender's option, apply any sums payable
pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof prior to interest on and principal of the Note,
but such application shall not otherwise affect the order of priority of
application specified in this paragraph 3.

         4. CHARGES; LIENS. Except for the First Deed of Trust, which Borrower
shall pay according to its terms, Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien
which has, or may have, priority over or equality with, the lien of this
Instrument, and Borrower shall pay, when due, the claims of all persons
supplying labor or materials to or in connection with the Property. Without
Lender's prior written permission, Borrower shall not allow any lien,
encumbrance, or other interest in the Property inferior to the lien of this
Instrument to be perfected against the Property.

         5. 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
Lender from becoming co-insurers, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Lender;

                  (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 Lender;

                  (c) Worker's compensation insurance (including employer's
liability insurance, if available and requested by Lender) 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 Lender;

                  (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 5(a) above, and otherwise with terms and conditions
acceptable to Lender;

                  (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 Property for a minimum of twelve (12) months, and otherwise with terms and
conditions acceptable to Lender;

                  (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 Lender; and

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

         All such policies shall be in a form acceptable to Lender. Each policy
of casualty insurance shall contain a mortgagee clause, substantially in the
form of the standard California BFU-438 loss payable endorsement or otherwise
acceptable to Lender, showing Lender as mortgagee. Each policy of liability
insurance shall show Lender 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 Lender, (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 Lender.

         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 Lender in
writing.

         Lender shall have the right to hold the policies, or certificates
thereof acceptable to Lender with certified copies of the policies, and Borrower
shall promptly furnish to Lender 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 Lender a renewal policy, or certificate
thereof, in form acceptable to Lender.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5


         If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning the
Loan Documents or the Property or any part thereof or interest therein or the
occupancy thereof by Borrower, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold
Lender harmless from all liability by reason of said litigation, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Lender 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 Lender, its
officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to
Borrower, the 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 Deed of Trust.

         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 Lender has approved the insurance company and the form and
content of the insurance policy, including, without limitation, the naming
thereon of Lender as a named insured with loss payable to Lender under a
standard mortgage clause of the character above described. Borrower shall
immediately notify Lender whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and
shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of the policies and certificates
evidencing such insurance.

         Nothing contained in this Section 5 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 5 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.

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First 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 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. Borrower
may elect option (ii) above only if it first provides to Lender evidence
satisfactory to Lender that there will be no material decrease in the fair
market value of the Property.

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust, 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 Lender as escrow agent
for the purpose of repairing, restoring or reconstructing the Improvements. Such
proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender as work progresses, provided that prior to
any disbursement, Lender 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, Lender 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 Property as existed immediately prior
to the loss and the plans and specifications therefor must be approved by
Lender. In the event Lender believes it is necessary in order to establish
value, Lender may, at its option, cause the Property to be reappraised at
Borrower's expense. All insurance proceeds shall be payable to Lender. The
adjustment of such insurance proceeds with the carrier must be approved by
Lender.

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust,
anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there shall be an
Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the insurance proceeds shall, at the
sole option of Lender, be applied by Lender to the Indebtedness in such order as
Lender may determine.

         6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY; LEASEHOLDS. Borrower (a)
shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property,
(b) shall not abandon the Property, (c) shall restore or repair promptly and in
a good and workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property to the equivalent
of its original condition, or such other condition as Lender may approve in
writing, in the event of any damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not
insurance proceeds are sufficient to cover in whole or in part the costs of such
restoration or repair, (d) shall keep the Property, including improvements,
fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances thereon in good repair and shall
replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when
necessary to keep such items in good repair, (e) shall comply with all laws,
ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body applicable to
the Property, (f) shall operate the Property as a shopping center, and (g) shall
give notice in writing to Lender of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by
Lender, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
Property, the security of this Instrument or the rights or powers of Lender or
Trustee. Neither Borrower nor any tenant or other person shall remove, demolish
or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the Property or
any fixture, equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the Property except when
incident to the replacement of fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances
with items of like kind.

         Borrower shall keep and perform all of the terms and provisions of the
First Deed of Trust; shall promptly pay all sums secured thereby when due and
shall make no further borrowings on the security thereof without the prior
written consent of Lender, which consent Lender may withhold in its sole
discretion. In the event Borrower shall receive a notice that it is in default
under the First Deed of Trust, it will promptly communicate such fact to Lender.

         7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless Lender
has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow changes in the use for
which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time this Instrument
was executed. Borrower shall not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning
classification of the Property without Lender's prior written consent.

         8. PROTECTION OF LENDER'S OR TRUSTEE'S SECURITY. If Borrower fails to
perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument, or if any
action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or
the interest of Lender or Trustee therein, including, but not limited to,
eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings
involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Trustee or Lender at Trustee's or
Lender's respective option may make such appearances, disburse such sums and
take such action as Trustee or Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion,
to protect Trustee's or Lender's interest, including, but not limited to, (a)
disbursement of attorney's fees, (b) entry upon the Property to make repairs,
(c) procurement of satisfactory insurance as provided in paragraph 5 hereof, and
(d) if this Instrument encumbers a leasehold, exercise of any option to renew or
extend the ground lease on behalf of Borrower and the curing of any default of
Borrower in the terms and conditions of the ground lease.

         Any amounts disbursed by Trustee or Lender pursuant to this paragraph,
with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured
by this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Trustee or Lender agree to other terms
of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless
collection from Borrower of interest at such rate would be contrary to
applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest
rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees that Lender shall be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage
or other lien discharged, in whole or in part, by the indebtedness secured
hereby. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require Trustee or Lender to
incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

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



                                       6
<PAGE>   7


         10. RENT ROLL AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower shall maintain full
and correct books and records open to Lender's inspection showing in detail the
income, expenses and earnings of Borrower and of the Property, and shall provide
Lender the following:

                  (a) a financial statement for the Property consisting of a
complete itemized statement of income and operating expenses, prepared in
accordance with general accounting principles or otherwise in form acceptable to
Lender and certified by Borrower's chief executive or financial officer, within
ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested
from time to time by Lender, but not more often than quarterly;

                  (b) a rent roll of the Property, certified by the chief
executive or financial officer of Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the
end of each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by
Lender, but not more often than quarterly, containing the name and address of
each tenant, square footage of leased premises, annual rent, rent per square
foot, lease commencement date, lease expiration date, date through which rent is
paid, and the nature and extent of any defaults by each tenant;

                  (c) a financial statement for Borrower consisting of a balance
sheet and a complete itemized statement of annual income and operating expenses
of Borrower, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or otherwise in form acceptable to Lender and certified by Borrower's
chief executive or financial officer, within ninety (90) days after the end of
each fiscal year of Borrower, or as requested from time to time by Lender;

                  (d) such other financial information as Lender may reasonably
require, when requested from time to time by Lender.

         11. CONDEMNATION. If all the Property and Improvements are taken or
acquired in any condemnation proceeding or by exercise of the right of eminent
domain or, with Lender'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, subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed
of Trust, hereby assigned to Lender, and Lender 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 Lender. Such award or payment so
received by Lender shall be applied to the Indebtedness (whether or not then due
and payable).

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust, 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 5 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
5 where there is damage or destruction in an amount of $500,000.00 or less shall
apply as if fully rewritten.

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust, 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 Lender as escrow agent for the purpose of repairing, restoring, or
reconstructing the Improvements and/or Property, and shall be disbursed by
Lender in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 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 Lender 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 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 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, if there
shall be an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, the proceeds of such
eminent domain or condemnation award 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


shall, at the sole option of Lender, be applied by Lender to the Indebtedness in
such order as Lender may determine.

         12. BORROWER AND LIEN NOT RELEASED. From time to time, Trustee at
Lender's direction and Lender may, at Lender's option, without giving notice to
or obtaining the consent of Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns or of any
junior lienholder or guarantors, without liability on Trustee's or Lender's part
and notwithstanding Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower
in this Instrument, extend the time for payment of said 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
this Instrument any part of the Property, take or release other or additional
security, reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any map or plan of the
Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or
subordination agreement, agree in writing with Borrower to modify the rate of
interest or period of amortization of the Note, or change the amount of the
monthly installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Trustee or Lender
pursuant to the terms of this paragraph shall not affect the obligation of
Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this
Instrument and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not
affect the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and shall not affect the lien or
priority of lien hereof on the Property. Borrower shall pay Trustee and Lender a
reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance premiums and
attorney's fees as may be incurred at Lender's option for any such action if
taken at Borrower's request.

         13. FORBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising or directing any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by
applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right
or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of any sum secured by this
Instrument after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Lender's
right to either-require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or
to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of
insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Lender shall not
be a waiver of Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness
secured by this Instrument. Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages
under paragraphs 5 and 11 hereof shall not operate to cure or waive Borrower's
default in payment of sums secured by this Instrument.

         14. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall, within ten days of a written
request from Lender, furnish Lender with a written statement, duly acknowledged,
setting forth the sums secured by this Instrument and any right of set-off,
counterclaim or other defense which exists against such sums and the obligations
of this Instrument.

         15. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. In addition to being a
Long-Form Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents, this Instrument is intended to
be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the
items specified above as part of the Property which under applicable law, may be
subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and
Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in said items. Borrower agrees
that Lender may file this Instrument, or a reproduction thereof, in the real
estate records or other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of
the items specified above as part of the Property. Any reproduction of this
Instrument or of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and
deliver to Lender, upon Lender's request, any financing statements, as well as
extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this
Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a security interest
with respect to said items. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such
financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases
thereof. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create
or suffer to be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other
security interest in said items, including replacements and additions thereto.
Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained in
this Instrument, including the covenants to pay when due all sums secured by
this Instrument, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code and, at Lender's option, may also invoke the remedies
provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument as to such items. In exercising any
of said remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of real property and any



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

items of personal property specified above as part of the Property separately or
together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the
availability of Lender's remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the
remedies provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument.

         16. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Borrower shall comply with and observe
Borrower's obligations as landlord under all leases of the Property or any part
thereof. Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all leases now
existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.

         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.

         Borrower does hereby assign to Lender, as additional security, all
leases now existing or hereafter made of all or any part of the Property and, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, all security deposits made by tenants in
connection with such leases of the Property. Upon Borrower's default, Lender, at
Lender's option, shall have all of the rights and powers possessed by Borrower
prior to such assignment.

         17. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Instrument is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or
successively, in any order whatsoever.

         18. ACCELERATION IN CASE OF BORROWER'S INSOLVENCY. If Borrower shall
voluntarily file a petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as such Code may
from time to time be amended, or under any similar or successor Federal Statute
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangements or reorganizations, or under
any state bankruptcy or insolvency act, or file an answer in an involuntary
proceeding admitting insolvency or failure to pay debts as they come due, or if
Borrower shall fail within 60 days to obtain a vacation, stay or dismissal of
involuntary proceedings brought for the reorganization, dissolution or
liquidation of Borrower, or if an order for relief under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code shall be entered against the Borrower, or if a trustee, receiver or
custodian shall be appointed for Borrower or Borrower's property, or if the
Property shall become subject to the jurisdiction of a Federal bankruptcy court
or similar state court, or if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit
of Borrower's creditors, or if there is an attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of any portion of Borrower's assets and such seizure is not
discharged within 60 days, then Lender may, at Lender's option, declare all of
the sums secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and payable without
prior notice to Borrower, and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by
paragraph 25 of this Instrument. Any attorney's fees and other expenses incurred
by Lender in connection with Borrower's bankruptcy or any of the other aforesaid
events shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Instrument
pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof.

         19. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY OR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN BORROWER. On
sale, encumbrance. or transfer of (a) all or any part of the Property, or any
interest therein, or (b) beneficial interests in Borrower, Lender may, at
Lender's option, declare all of the sums secured by this Instrument to be
immediately due and payable, and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by
paragraph 25 of this Instrument. This option shall not apply in case of:

                  (i) transfers by devise or descent or by operation of law upon
the death of a tenant in common or a partner;

                  (ii) the grant of a leasehold interest in a part of the
Property of three years or less (or such longer lease term as Lender may permit
by prior written approval) not containing an option to purchase (except any
interest in the ground lease, if this Instrument encumbers a leasehold); and


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


                  (iii) sales or transfers of fixtures or any personal property
pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof.

         20. 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 Lender 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.

         21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; AGENTS;
CAPTIONS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind, and the
rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of
Trustee, Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of paragraph 19 hereof.
Lender or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may
from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or
successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument,
executed by the Lender and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the
recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated, shall be
conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees,
who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its
title, estate, rights, powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name
of the original Borrower, Trustee and Lender hereunder, the book and page where
this Deed is recorded and the name and address- of the new Trustee. All
covenants and agreements of Borrower shall be joint and several. In exercising
any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Lender may act
through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by
Lender. The captions and headings of the paragraphs of this Instrument are for
convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
hereof.

         22. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Instrument shall be governed by
the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In the event that
any provision of this Instrument or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such
conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Instrument or the Note which
can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to this end the
provisions of this Instrument and the Note are declared to be severable. In the
event that any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charge
permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any charge
provided for in this Instrument or in the Note, whether considered separately or
together with other charges levied in connection with this Instrument and the
Note, violates such law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law,
such charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such
violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the
amounts payable to Lender pursuant to such charges as reduced shall be applied
by Lender to reduce the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. For
the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of
interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been
violated, all indebtedness which is secured by this Instrument or evidenced by
the Note and which constitutes interest, as well as all other charges levied in
connection with such indebtedness which constitute interest, shall be deemed to
be uniformly allocated and spread over the stated term of the Note.

         23. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Borrower hereby waives the right
to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of
this Instrument or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any other
obligation secured by this Instrument.

         24. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other
security interests in the Property held by Trustee or Lender or by any other
party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of
the Property shall be subjected 'to the remedies provided herein. Lender shall
have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the
indebtedness secured hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the
exercise of the remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who consents to
this Instrument, and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest
in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice hereof 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.

         25. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. Upon default by Borrower in payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement hereunder, Lender
may declare all sums secured hereby, immediately due and payable by delivery to
Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale and of written
notice of default and of election to cause to be sold said property, which
notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Lender also shall deposit
with Trustee this Deed, the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures
secured hereby.

         After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following
the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given
as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell said
property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a
whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public
auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States,
payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of said
property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to
time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed
by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed
conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Borrower, Trustee, or
Lender 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, Trustee
shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the
terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by
law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the
remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

         26. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; LENDER IN POSSESSION.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, subject
to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust, Borrower hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all the rents and
revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due, or to become due by
virtue of any lease, license or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all
or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the
Property are payable. Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of
Trust, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender or Lender's agents to collect the
aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to
pay such rents to Lender or Lender's agents; provided, however, that prior to
written notice given by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any
covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, Borrower shall collect and
receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of
Lender and Borrower, to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the sums
secured by this Instrument in the order provided in paragraph 3 hereof with the
balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Borrower, it
being intended by Borrower and Lender that this assignment of rents constitutes
an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon
delivery of written notice by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of
any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, and without the
necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the
Property in person, by agent 




                                       11
<PAGE>   12


or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall, subject to the rights of the
holder of the First Deed of Trust, immediately be entitled to possession of all
rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this paragraph as the same
become due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid,
and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by
Borrower as trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided, however, that the
written notice by Lender to Borrower of the breach by Borrower shall contain a
statement that Lender exercises its rights to such rents. Borrower agrees that
commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Borrower's breach by Lender
to Borrower, each tenant of the Property shall, subject to the rights of the
holder of the First Deed of Trust, make such rents payable to and pay such rents
to Lender or Lender's agents on Lender's written demand to each tenant therefor,
delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or delivering such demand to each
rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further
as to the existence of a default by Borrower.

         Except for an assignment in favor of the holder of the First Deed of
Trust, Borrower hereby covenants that Borrower has not executed any prior
assignment of said rents, that Borrower has not performed, and will not perform,
any acts or has not executed, and will not execute, any instrument which would
prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this paragraph, and that at the
time of execution of this Instrument there has been no anticipation or
prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than one month prior to
the due dates of such rents. Borrower covenants that Borrower will not hereafter
collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than one month prior
to the due dates of such rents. Borrower further covenants that Borrower will
execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of rents and revenues of
the Property as Lender may from time to time request.

         Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Instrument, Lender may, subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of
Trust, in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the
adequacy of Lender's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of
the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the
operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution,
cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues
of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or
termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the
Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this
Instrument. In the event Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for
the Property upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in
this Instrument, Borrower hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such
receiver. Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee
for so managing the Property.

         Subject to the rights of the holder of the First Deed of Trust, all
rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Lender
to Borrower of the breach by Borrower of any covenant or agreement of Borrower
in this Instrument shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking
control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including, but
not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds,
costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes,
assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any
obligation or liability of Borrower as lessor or landlord of the Property and
then to the sums secured by this Instrument. Lender or the receiver shall have
access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the
Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.
Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through
Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done
or left undone by Lender under this paragraph.

         If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if
any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents,
any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become indebtedness of
Borrower to Lender secured by this Instrument pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof.
Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment
thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated
in the Note.

         Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property
by Lender or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall
not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy
of Lender under applicable law or as provided 



                                       12
<PAGE>   13


herein. This assignment of rents shall terminate at such time as this Instrument
ceases to secure indebtedness held by Lender.

         LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, AND BORROWER HEREBY
MUTUALLY, VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF

                              Terms and Conditions

                  Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
with Mortgagee as follows:

                  1. Warranty of Title. Mortgagor warrants the title to the
Premises, subject only to the matters that are set forth in Schedule B of the
title insurance policy or policies being issued to Mortgagee to insure the lien
of this Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions").

                  2. Intentionally Deleted.

                  3. Requirements.

                  (a) Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, or cause to be
complied with, and conform to all present and future laws, statutes, codes,
ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules, regulations and requirements, and
irrespective of the nature of the work to be done, of each of the United States
of America, any State and any municipality, local government or other political
subdivision thereof and any agency, department, bureau, board, commission or
other instrumentality of any of them, now existing or subsequently created
(collectively, "Governmental Authority") which has jurisdiction over the
Mortgaged Property and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later
of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration,
repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property. All present and
future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules,
regulations and requirements of every Governmental Authority applicable to
Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property and all covenants, restrictions,
and conditions which now or later may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged
Property are collectively referred to as the "Legal Requirements".

                  (b) From and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises
not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part
thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any Legal Requirement, and Mortgagor
hereby assigns to Mortgagee any and all rights to give consent for all or any
portion of the Premises or any interest therein to be so used. Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission impair the integrity of any of the Real Estate as a
single zoning lot separate and apart from all other premises. Mortgagor
represents that each parcel of the Real Estate constitutes a legally subdivided
lot, in compliance with all subdivision laws and similar Legal Requirements. Any
act or omission by Mortgagor which would result in a violation of any of the
provisions of this subsection shall be void.

                  4. Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. (a) Promptly when
due, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge all taxes of every kind and nature
(including, without limitation, all real and personal property, income,
franchise, withholding, transfer, gains, profits and gross receipts taxes), all
charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the 


<PAGE>   7
                                                                               6



benefit of any of the Mortgaged Property, all general and special assessments,
levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and
charges, vault taxes, and all other public charges even if unforeseen or
extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on
any of the Mortgaged Property, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or
possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the
foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as the
"Impositions"). Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee
(i) original or copies of receipted bills and canceled checks evidencing payment
of such Imposition if it is a real estate tax or other public charge and (ii)
evidence acceptable to Mortgagee showing the payment of any other such
Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor's option, may be paid in
installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and
shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.

                  (b) Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise, without notice or demand to
Mortgagor, to pay any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have
become due. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be
payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the
Default Rate.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to
receive any credit or credits toward the satisfaction of this Mortgage or on any
interest payable thereon for any taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, and shall not claim any deduction from the taxable value of
the Mortgaged Property by reason of this Mortgage.

                  (d) Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency
occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any
Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed
or construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Mortgagor's
covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in
this Section unless (i) Mortgagor has given prior written notice to Mortgagee of
Mortgagor's intent so to contest or object to an Imposition, (ii) Mortgagor
shall demonstrate to Mortgagee's satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall
operate conclusively to prevent the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such
proceedings and (iii) Mortgagor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or
surety as requested by and reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in the amount of
the Impositions which are being contested plus any interest and penalty which
may be imposed thereon and which could become a lien against the Real Estate or
any part of the Mortgaged Property.

                  5. Insurance. (a) Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be
maintained on all of the Premises

         escalators, if any). The policy shall include coverage for independent
         contractors and completed operations. The completed operations coverage
         shall stay in effect for two years after construction of any
         Improvements has been completed. The policy shall provide coverage on
         an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, including,
         without limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
         on, in or about the Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and
         passageways, such insurance to afford immediate minimum protection to a
         limit of not less than that required by Mortgagee with respect to
         personal injury, bodily injury or death to any one or more persons or
         damage to property;

                  (vi) during the course of any construction or repair of the

                                                                               8

         approved by Mortgagee, in nonreporting form, covering the total value
         of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with
         an appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction);

                  (viii) boiler and machinery property insurance covering
         pressure vessels, air tanks, boilers, machinery, pressure piping,
         heating, air conditioning and elevator equipment and escalator

         and insurance against rent, extra expense, business interruption and
         soft costs, if applicable, arising from any such breakdown, in such

Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee only. If any required
insurance shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any condition
thereof by Mortgagor or by any lessee of any part of the Mortgaged Property or

unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise satisfactory to Mortgagee in all
respects.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an original of each

insurance underwriter or broker to certify to Mortgagee in writing that all the
requirements of this Mortgage governing insurance have been satisfied.

                  (c) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or
deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Mortgagee, at its option and
without notice, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium
or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such
premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment
at the Default Rate.

                  (d) Mortgagor shall increase the amount of property insurance
required to equal 100% replacement cost pursuant to the provisions of this
Section at the time of each renewal of each policy (but not later than 12 months
from the date of this Mortgage and each successive 12 month period to occur
thereafter) by using the F.W. Dodge Building Index or an equivalent index to
determine whether there shall have been an increase in the replacement value
since the most recent adjustment and, if there shall have been such an increase,
the amount of insurance required shall be adjusted accordingly.

                  (e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform to (i)
all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the
insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or
repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the
use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to
cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this
Mortgage.

                                                                              10


                  (f) If the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be
destroyed or damaged by fire or any other casualty, whether insured or
uninsured, or in the event any claim is made against Mortgagor for any personal
injury, bodily injury or property damage incurred on or about the Premises,
Mortgagor shall give immediate notice thereof to Mortgagee. If the Mortgaged
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty and the cost to repair such damage
is less than the lesser of (i) 15% of the replacement cost of the Improvements
at the affected Real Estate site and (ii) $300,000, then provided that no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have the right
to adjust such loss, and the insurance proceeds relating to such loss may be
paid over to Mortgagor; provided that Mortgagor shall, promptly after any such
damage, repair all such damage regardless of whether any insurance proceeds have
been received or whether such proceeds, if received, are sufficient to pay for
the costs of repair. If the Mortgaged Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds the above limit, or if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Mortgagor
authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option and in Mortgagee's sole
discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to make proof of loss, to adjust
and compromise any claim under any insurance policy, to appear in and prosecute
any action arising from any policy, to collect and receive insurance proceeds
and to deduct therefrom Mortgagee's expenses incurred in the collection process.
Each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment for such loss directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have the right to
require Mortgagor to repair or restore the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor
hereby designates Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making
any election required or permitted under any insurance policy relating to repair
or restoration. The insurance proceeds or any part thereof received by Mortgagee
may be applied by Mortgagee toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of
Mortgagee in collecting such proceeds, and the balance: (i) providing that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, shall be made available
to Mortgagor for purposes of restoration or repair of the property damaged; or
(ii) should an Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, at Mortgagee's
option in its sole and absolute discretion, to the principal (to the
installments in inverse order of maturity, if payable in installments) and
interest due or to become due under the Note, to fulfill any other Obligation of
Mortgagor, to the restoration or repair of the property damaged, or released to
Mortgagor. In the event Mortgagee elects to release such proceeds to Mortgagor,
Mortgagor shall be obligated to use such proceeds to restore or repair the
Mortgaged Property. Application by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds toward
the last maturing installments of principal and interest due or to become due
under the Note shall not excuse GPLP from making any regularly scheduled
payments due thereunder, nor shall such application extend or reduce the amount
of such payments.

                  (g) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other
transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the
Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance
policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee 

<PAGE>   12
                                                                              11




and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, in Mortgagor's
name, to assign and transfer all such policies and proceeds to such purchaser or
grantee.

                  (h) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this
Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by
Mortgagor; provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or
Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so
specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket
policy that is allocated to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and
any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other
Mortgaged Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement
providing that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril,
insurance proceeds shall be allocated to the Mortgaged Property in an amount
equal to the coverages required to be maintained by Mortgagor as provided above
and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy shall be no less
than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies
relating only to the Mortgaged Property.

                  6. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien
of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor shall not further
mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Mortgaged Property nor create or suffer to
exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and
whether recourse or non-recourse.

                  7. Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Mortgagor
shall not sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any
interest in, the Mortgaged Property.

                  8. Limitation on Fundamental Changes. Mortgagor agrees that:

                  (i) if Mortgagor is a partnership, Mortgagor shall not
         dissolve or terminate or materially amend the terms of its partnership
         agreement; and

                  (ii) Mortgagor shall not enter into any transaction of merger
         or consolidation, or liquidate or dissolve itself (or suffer any
         liquidation or dissolution), or acquire by purchase or otherwise all or
         substantially all the business or assets of, or any stock or other
         evidence of beneficial ownership of, any entity.

                  9. Maintenance; No Alteration; Inspection; Utilities. (a)
Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained all the Improvements in good
condition and repair and shall not commit or suffer any waste of the
Improvements. Mortgagor shall repair, restore, replace or rebuild promptly any
part of the Premises which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty
whatsoever. The Improvements shall not be demolished or materially altered, nor
any material additions built, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.


<PAGE>   13
                                                                              12



                  (b) Mortgagee and any persons authorized by Mortgagee shall
have the right to enter and inspect the Premises and the right to inspect all
work done, labor performed and materials furnished in and about the Improvements
and the right to inspect and make copies of all books, contracts and records of
Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid when due all
utility charges which are incurred for gas, electricity, water or sewer services
furnished to the Premises and all other assessments or charges of a similar
nature, whether public or private, affecting the Premises or any portion
thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are liens thereon.

                  10. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of
the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's
option and in Mortgagee's sole discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to
commence, appear in and prosecute, in Mortgagee's or Mortgagor's name, any
action or proceeding relating to any condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion thereof, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with
such condemnation. If Mortgagee elects not to participate in such condemnation
proceeding, then Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceeding and shall consult with Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts and
cooperate with them in any defense of any such proceedings. All awards and
proceeds of condemnation shall be assigned to Mortgagee to be applied in the
same manner as insurance proceeds, as provided above, and Mortgagor agrees to
execute any such assignments of all such awards as Mortgagee may request.

                  11. Restoration. At any time when Mortgagee releases funds to
Mortgagor for restoration of any of the Mortgaged Property, then such
restoration shall be performed only in accordance with the following conditions:

                  (i) prior to the commencement of any restoration, the plans
         and specifications for such restoration, and the budgeted costs, shall
         be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee;

                  (ii) prior to making any advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee shall be satisfied that the remaining restoration funds are
         sufficient to complete the restoration and to pay all related expenses,
         including interest on the Indebtedness and real estate taxes on the
         Premises, during restoration;

                  (iii) at the time of any disbursement of the restoration
         funds, (A) no Default (as defined below) shall then exist, (B) no
         mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
         undischarged, except those discharged by the disbursement of the
         requested restoration funds and (C) a satisfactory bring-down or
         continuation of title insurance on the Premises shall be delivered to
         Mortgagee;

<PAGE>   14
                                                                              13



                  (iv) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an
         amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last
         disbursement, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of the stage of
         completion and of performance of the work in a good and workmanlike
         manner and in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications
         acceptable to Mortgagee;

                  (v) with respect to each advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee may retain 10% of the amount of such advance as a holdback
         until the restoration is fully completed;

                  (vi) the restoration funds shall bear no interest and may be
         commingled with Mortgagee's other funds;

                  (vii) Mortgagee may impose such other conditions as are
         customarily imposed by construction lenders; and

                  (viii) any restoration funds remaining shall be retained by
         Mortgagee and may be applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, to
         the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity.

                  12. Leases. (a) Mortgagor shall not (i) execute an assignment
or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (ii) without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, execute any new Lease for space in excess of 10,000 square feet.

                  (b) As to any existing or new Lease Mortgagor shall:

                  (i) promptly perform all of the provisions of the Lease on the
         part of the lessor thereunder to be performed;

                  (ii) promptly enforce all of the provisions of the Lease on
         the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed;

                  (iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising
         under or in any manner connected with the Lease or the obligations of
         Mortgagor as lessor or of the lessee thereunder;

                  (iv) exercise, within 5 days after a request by Mortgagee, any
         right to request from the lessee a certificate with respect to the
         status thereof;

<PAGE>   15
                                                                              14



                  (v) simultaneously deliver to Mortgagee copies of any notices
         of default which Mortgagor may at any time forward to or receive from
         the lessee;

                  (vi) upon request, promptly deliver to Mortgagee a fully
         executed counterpart of the Lease; and

                  (vii) promptly deliver to Mortgagee, upon Mortgagee's request,
         an assignment of the Mortgagor's interest under such Lease.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, within 10 days after
a request by Mortgagee, a written statement, certified by Mortgagor as being
true, correct and complete, containing the names of all lessees and other
occupants of the Mortgaged Property, the terms of all Leases and the spaces
occupied and rentals payable thereunder, and a list of all Leases which are then
in default, including the nature and magnitude of the default; such statement
shall be accompanied by credit information with respect to the lessees and such
other information as Mortgagee may reasonably request.

                  (d) All Leases entered into by Mortgagor after the date
hereof, if any, and all rights of any lessees thereunder shall be subject and
subordinate in all respects to the lien and provisions of this Mortgage unless
Mortgagee shall otherwise elect in writing.

                  (e) As to any existing or new Lease for space in excess of
10,000 square feet, Mortgagor shall not accept a surrender or terminate, cancel,
rescind, supplement, alter, revise, modify or amend such Lease or permit any
such action to be taken without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. As to
any exiting or new Lease, Mortgagor shall not accept the payment of rent more
than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date.

                  (f) If any act or omission of Mortgagor would give any lessee
under any Lease the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to
cancel or terminate such Lease, or to abate or offset against the payment of
rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, such lessee shall not exercise
such right until it has given written notice of such act or omission to
Mortgagee and until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall
have elapsed following the giving of such notice without a remedy being
effected.

                  (g) In the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of any remedy
under this Mortgage, the lessee under each Lease shall, if requested by
Mortgagee or any other person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagee as a
result of such enforcement, attorn to Mortgagee or to such person and shall
recognize Mortgagee or such successor in interest as lessor under the Lease
without change in the provisions thereof; provided however, that Mortgagee or
such successor in interest shall not be: (i) bound by any payment of an
installment of rent or additional rent which may have been made more than 30
days before the due date of such installment; (ii) bound by any amendment or
modification to the Lease made without the 

<PAGE>   16
                                                                              15



consent of Mortgagee or such successor in interest; (iii) liable for any
previous act or omission of Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest); (iv)
responsible for any monies owing by Mortgagor to the credit of such lessee or
subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses
which the lessee may have against Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest);
(v) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the
Premises or any portion thereof; or (vi) obligated to make any payment to such
lessee other than any security deposit actually delivered to Mortgagee or such
successor in interest. Each lessee or other occupant, upon request by Mortgagee
or such successor in interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or
instruments confirming such attornment. In addition, Mortgagor agrees that each
Lease entered into after the date of this Mortgage shall include language to the
effect of subsections (d)-(g) of this Section; provided that the provisions of
such subsections shall be self-operative and any failure of any Lease to include
such language shall not impair the binding effect of such provisions on any
lessee under such Lease.

                  13. Further Assurances/Estoppel Certificates. To further
assure Mortgagee's rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon demand of
Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not
limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in
the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable
form) as may be required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and
all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee. Mortgagor, within 5
business days after request, shall deliver, in form and substance satisfactory
to Mortgagee, a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the amount
of the Indebtedness, and whether any offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses
exist against the Indebtedness and certifying as to such other matters as
Mortgagee shall reasonably request.

                  14. Mortgagee's Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to
perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, Mortgagee, without
waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this
Mortgage, may, at any time (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform
the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate,
shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. To the extent that any
such amounts or costs paid by Mortgagee shall constitute payment of (i)
Impositions; (ii) premiums on insurance policies covering the Premises; (iii)
expenses incurred in upholding or enforcing the lien of this Mortgage,
including, but not limited to the expenses of any litigation to prosecute or
defend the rights and lien created by this Mortgage; (iv) costs of removal of or
otherwise related to Hazardous Materials (as defined below) or asbestos; or (v)
any amount, costs or charge to which Mortgagee becomes subrogated, upon payment,
whether under recognized principles of law or equity, or under express statutory
authority; then, and in each such event, such amounts or costs, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be added to the Indebtedness and
shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property
prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property
attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of
money 

<PAGE>   17
                                                                              16



by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor's
default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

                  15. Mortgagor's Existence, etc. Mortgagor shall do all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
franchises, rights and privileges under the laws of the state in which it was
formed and its right to own property and transact business in each state in
which the Real Estate is located. Mortgagor represents and warrants that
Mortgagor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or general or
limited partnership, as the case may be, in good standing, and this Mortgage has
been executed by a duly authorized partner or officer thereof, as applicable.
This Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor,
enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally.

                  16. Financial Statements; Certificates; Other Information. (a)
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee (i) within 120 days after the end of each
of its fiscal years annual operating statements and a rent roll for the Premises
and a copy of Mortgagor's annual audited report, including a statement of
sources and uses of funds of Mortgagor as at the end of such year, and related
statements of income and retained earnings and changes in financial position for
such year, and (ii) within 90 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters
(other than the last) quarterly operating statements and a rent roll for the
Premises as at the end of such quarter. The foregoing financial statements shall
be certified by the chief financial officer of or by a partner in Mortgagor, as
the case may be, and with respect to Mortgagor's annual financial statements,
also by a certified public accountant approved by Mortgagee. All financial
statements delivered to Mortgagee shall be true and correct in all respects,
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and fairly present the financial condition of the subject
as of the dates thereof and each of the operating statements shall be in
reasonable detail and include cash flow and any other information reasonably
requested by Mortgagee. Any materially adverse change that occurs in the
financial condition reflected therein after the date thereof shall be reported
to Mortgagee promptly. None of the financial statements, or any certificate or
statement furnished to Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, shall contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein or herein not misleading.

                  (b)      Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee:

<PAGE>   18
                                                                              17



                  (i) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements
         referred to in subsection (a), a certificate of an executive officer or
         of a partner of Mortgagor stating that, to the best of such person's
         knowledge, after such examination or investigation as is necessary to
         enable such person to make an informed judgment, Mortgagor during such
         period has observed or performed all of its covenants and other
         agreements, and satisfied every condition, contained in this Mortgage
         and all other documents evidencing, securing or relating to the
         Indebtedness to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that
         such person has obtained no knowledge of any Event of Default or any
         event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both,
         would constitute an Event of Default ("Default"), except as specified
         in such certificate;

                  (ii) not later than 60 days prior to the end of each 12-month
         period, commencing with the 12-month period ending on the date one year
         from the date of this Mortgage, a copy of the projections by Mortgagor
         of the operating budget and cash flow for the Premises for such
         12-month period; and

                  (iii) promptly, such additional financial and other
         information as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably request.

                  17. Notice of Certain Occurrences. Mortgagor shall give notice
to Mortgagee promptly upon the occurrence of:

                  (a) any Default or Event of Default;

                  (b) any (i) default or event of default under any provision of
any security issued by or any agreement, instrument or undertaking of Mortgagor
or which binds Mortgagor or any property thereof (collectively, "Contractual
Obligations") or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at
any time between Mortgagor and any Governmental Authority, which, with respect
to both clauses (i) and (ii), could have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor;

                  (c) any litigation or proceeding affecting Mortgagor or the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in which the amount involved is $250,000
or more and not fully covered by insurance or in which injunctive or similar
relief is sought; and

                  (d) a material adverse change in the business, operations,
property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof.

                  18 Hazardous Material. (a) Neither Mortgagor nor, to the best
knowledge of Mortgagor, any other person has ever caused or permitted, in
violation of any Legal Requirement, any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to
be placed, held, located or 


<PAGE>   19
                                                                              18



disposed of on, under or at the Premises, or any part thereof, and the Premises
have never been used (whether by Mortgagor or, to the best knowledge of
Mortgagor, by any other person, including any tenant) as a dump site or storage
(whether permanent or temporary) site for any Hazardous Material, in violation
of any Legal Requirement.

                  (b) Mortgagor represents that (i) to the best of Mortgagor's
knowledge, the Premises are free of all Hazardous Material that are in violation
of any Legal Requirement and (ii) neither the Premises nor any site within the
vicinity of the Premises is or has been adversely affected by any Hazardous
Material or is in violation of any applicable Legal Requirement of any
Governmental Authority regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning Hazardous Material.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall comply with any and all applicable Legal
Requirements governing the discharge and removal of Hazardous Material, shall
pay immediately when due the costs of removal of any Hazardous Material, and
shall keep the Premises free of any lien imposed pursuant to such Legal
Requirements. In the event Mortgagor fails to do so, after notice to Mortgagor
and the expiration of the earlier of (i) applicable cure periods hereunder, or
(ii) the cure period permitted under the applicable Legal Requirement, Mortgagee
may declare such failure an Event of Default or cause the Premises to be freed
from the Hazardous Material and the cost of the removal with interest at the
Default Rate shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor
further agrees not to release or dispose of any Hazardous Material at the
Premises without the express approval of Mortgagee and any such release or
disposal shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and any conditions
established by Mortgagee. In addition, Mortgagor agrees not to allow the
manufacture, storage, transmission, presence or disposal of any Hazardous
Material over or upon the Premises. Mortgagee shall have the right at any time
to conduct an environmental audit of the Premises and Mortgagor shall cooperate
in the conduct of such environmental audit. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and
its agents and employees access to the Premises to remove Hazardous Material.
Mortgagor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Mortgagee free and harmless from
and against all loss, costs, damage and expense (including attorneys' fees and
costs and consequential damages) Mortgagee may sustain by reason of (i) the
imposition or recording of a lien by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
Legal Requirement relating to hazardous or toxic wastes or substances or the
removal thereof ("Hazardous Material Laws"); (ii) claims of any private parties
regarding violations of Hazardous Material Laws; (iii) costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and fees incidental to the
securing of repayment of such costs and expenses) incurred by Mortgagor or
Mortgagee in connection with the removal of any such lien or in connection with
Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's compliance with any Hazardous Material Laws; and (iv)
the assertion against Mortgagee by any party of any claim in connection with
Hazardous Material.

                  (d) For the purposes of this Mortgage, "Hazardous Material"
means and includes any hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous waste, substance
or material defined as

                                                                              19



such in (or for purposes of) the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, any so-called "Superfund" or "Superlien" law,
or any other Legal Requirement regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous
waste, substance or material, as now or at any time in effect.

                  (e) The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of
the Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release
deed, discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  19 Asbestos. Mortgagor shall not install or permit to be
installed in the Premises friable asbestos or any substance containing asbestos
and deemed hazardous by any Legal Requirement respecting such material, or any
other building material deemed to be harmful, hazardous or injurious by relevant
Legal Requirements and with respect to any such material currently present in
the Premises shall promptly either (a) remove any material which such Legal
Requirements deem harmful, hazardous or injurious and require to be removed or
(b) otherwise comply with such Legal Requirements, at Mortgagor's expense. If
Mortgagor shall fail to so remove or otherwise comply, Mortgagee may declare an
Event of Default and/or do whatever is necessary to eliminate such substances
from the Premises or otherwise comply with the applicable Legal Requirement, and
the costs thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due
from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and its agents and
employees access to the Premises to remove such asbestos or substances.
Mortgagor shall defend, indemnify, and save Mortgagee harmless from all loss,
costs, damages and expense (including attorneys' fees and costs and
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Mortgagee by any party, as a
result of the presence of such substances or any removal or compliance with such
Legal Requirements. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the
Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release deed,
discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  20 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

                  (a) an Event of Default shall occur under the Note;

                  (b) a failure to make payment of any other sums required to be
         paid hereunder (including, without limitation, any Imposition) within
         the period required by specific provision of this Mortgage or, if no
         such period is so provided, by no later than three days after written
         notice; or

                  (c) a failure (i) to keep in force the insurance required by
         this Mortgage, or (ii) to comply with and conform to all provisions and
         requirements of the insurance

                                                                              20



         policies and the insurers thereunder which would affect Mortgagor's
         ability to keep in force the insurance required by this Mortgage or to
         collect any proceeds therefrom, or (iii) to comply with any other
         material provisions of this Mortgage regarding insurance; or

                  (d) upon default, five business days after request, in
         furnishing a statement of the outstanding amount secured by this
         Mortgage and whether any offset or defense exists against the
         Indebtedness; or

                  (e) upon the actual waste, removal or demolition of, or
         material alteration to, any part of the Premises (other than necessary
         replacements of worn or obsolete Equipment), or construction of any new
         Improvements; or

                  (f) upon failure to comply promptly with any Legal Requirement
         or order or notice of violation of law or ordinance issued by any
         Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, which
         failure could materially adverse affect the Mortgaged Property; or

                  (g) if any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in
         this Mortgage shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
         respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or

                  (h) if any Obligor (as defined below) shall (i) default in any
         payment of principal of or interest on any (A) indebtedness for
         borrowed money in respect of which an Obligor is liable, contingently
         or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or in respect of
         which such Obligor otherwise assures a creditor against loss or (B)
         obligations under leases which shall have been or should be, in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, recorded as
         capital leases for which obligations such Obligor is liable,
         contingently or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or for
         which obligations such Obligor assures a creditor against loss
         (collectively referred to as "Debt") (other than the Note) beyond the
         period of grace (not to exceed 30 days), if any, provided in the
         instrument or agreement under which such Debt was created; or (ii)
         default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or
         condition relating to any such Debt or contained in any instrument or
         agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event
         shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other
         event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of
         such Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders)
         to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Debt to become
         due prior to its stated maturity; or

                  (i) if (i) Mortgagor or any Partner or any guarantor of
         payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness or performance of any
         of the Obligations (a "Guarantor"; 

<PAGE>   22
                                                                              21



         Mortgagor, each Partner and each Guarantor being collectively referred
         to as an "Obligor") shall commence any case, proceeding or other action
         (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or
         foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief
         of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to
         it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking
         reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation,
         dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its
         debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
         other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its
         assets, or any Obligor shall make a general assignment for the benefit
         of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against any Obligor
         any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause
         (i) above which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any
         such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed,
         undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days (the events specified
         in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection being referred to as
         "Automatic Acceleration Defaults"); or (iii) there shall be commenced
         against any Obligor any case, proceeding or other action seeking
         issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar
         process against all or any substantial part of its assets, which
         results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not
         have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal
         within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) any Obligor shall take
         any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval
         of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clauses (i), (ii)
         or (iii) above; or (v) any Obligor shall generally not, or shall be
         unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as
         they become due; or

                  (j) if one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered
         against any Obligor involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or
         fully covered by insurance) of $250,000 or more and all such judgments
         or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded
         pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

                  (k) if any of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed
         by an uninsured casualty and Mortgagor does not immediately provide
         funds for the restoration of the damage caused by such casualty; or

                  (l) if Mortgagor shall further mortgage, pledge or otherwise
         encumber the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest
         therein or create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or other
         encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, whether
         superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, whether recourse
         or non-recourse; or

                  (m) if, except as permitted herein, Mortgagor shall (A) sell,
         transfer, convey or assign the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
         or any interest therein (by 

<PAGE>   23
                                                                              22



         operation of law or otherwise), or (B) lease any of the Mortgaged
         Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee;

                  (n) this Mortgage shall cease for any reason to be in full
         force and effect or Mortgagor shall so assert in writing; or

                  (o) a failure of Mortgagor to duly perform and observe, or a
         violation or breach of, any other terms, covenants, provisions or
         conditions of this Mortgage and the continuation thereof for a 30-day
         period after notice shall have been given to Mortgagor by Mortgagee
         specifying such default and requiring such default be remedied; which
         period may be extended to the extent required (but not longer than 180
         days) if such default is not susceptible of cure within 30 days so long
         as Mortgagor has commenced to cure such default within such 30-day
         period and is thereafter diligently prosecuting such cure to completion
         and so long as such delay is not likely to have a material adverse
         effect on either the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagee's rights under
         this Mortgage; provided, however, any such default that can be cured by
         the payment of money shall be promptly cured after notice by Mortgagee.

                  21 Remedies.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition
         to any other rights and remedies Mortgagee may have pursuant to the
         Loan Documents, or as provided by law, and without limitation, (a) if
         such event is an Automatic Acceleration Default, automatically the
         Indebtedness and all other amounts owing under the Note, this Mortgage
         and the other Security Documents immediately shall become due and
         payable, and (b) if such event is any other Event of Default, by notice
         to Mortgagor, Mortgagee may declare the Indebtedness (together with
         accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts payable under the Note,
         this Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be immediately due
         and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section,
         presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are
         hereby expressly waived. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event
         of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice
         or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
         against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but
         not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued
         concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee
         may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
         affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

                           (i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by
                  applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of
                  mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged
                  Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Note,
                  (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor
                  expressly granting to 

<PAGE>   24
                                                                              23



                  Mortgagee the power of sale), or (D) take such other action at
                  law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any
                  of the Loan Documents as the law may allow. Mortgagee may
                  proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution
                  thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest
                  thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including,
                  without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
                  disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on
                  any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment
                  until actual payment is made of the full amount of the
                  judgment.

                           (ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents,
                  attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or
                  inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral
                  as security for the Indebtedness and Obligations enter into
                  and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part
                  thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees
                  therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise
                  (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the
                  Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time)
                  and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged
                  Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and
                  taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without
                  limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the
                  Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such
                  conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper,
                  (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally
                  to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or
                  thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall
                  deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

                  (b) The holder of this Mortgage, in any action to foreclose
         it, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver. In case of a
         foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee's election,
         in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically
         empowered, (without being required to do so, and in its sole and
         absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the
         Mortgaged Property to be held.

                  (c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants,
         agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, and
         notwithstanding to the contrary any exculpatory or non-recourse
         language which may be contained herein, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
         enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant,
         agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to
         invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not
         provided for in this Mortgage.

                  22 Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of
any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by
virtue of judicial 

<PAGE>   25
                                                                              24



proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of
paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting upon the Indebtedness or other sums secured by this Mortgage the net
sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the
action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this
Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Note and documents evidencing
expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting
the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the
Indebtedness as having been paid.

                  23 Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to
Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to
the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as
security for the Indebtedness and Obligations or the interest of Mortgagor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to
appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of
any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver
or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or
similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as
provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent
permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such
receivership is sooner terminated.

                  24 Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the lien or
charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or
theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Indebtedness,
Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any
person liable for the Indebtedness, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the
terms of the Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other
indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at
any time at Mortgagee's option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged
Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any
obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors in relation thereto. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less
than all of the principal amount of the Indebtedness, it is expressly agreed
that any repayments of the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall not reduce
the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the
principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding.

                  (b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens,
rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights,
powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

<PAGE>   26
                                                                              25



                  (c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this
Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of
this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property.
The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure
proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a
defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Indebtedness or
to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

                  (d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that
ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate
therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall
not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged
Property for the amount secured hereby.

                  25 Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is
the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a
Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") of the State of New York. If an Event of Default shall occur under this
Mortgage, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law
or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the
Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured
party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of
and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and
proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee's rights, powers and remedies
with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the
Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then
five days' notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable
notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to,
attorneys' fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall
assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place
designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

                  (b) Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by
law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word
"Equipment" are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) this Mortgage
upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office
shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the
meaning of Sections 9-313 and 9-402 of the Code; (iii) Mortgagor is the record
owner of the Real Estate; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are
as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage.

                  (c) Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee from time to time,
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee one or more separate
security agreements, in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, covering all or any part
of the Mortgaged Property and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver, or
cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any

                                                                              26



financing statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other
document as Mortgagee may request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain,
continue or extend the security interest under and the priority of this Mortgage
and such security instrument. Mortgagor further agrees to pay to Mortgagee on
demand all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the
preparation, execution, recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and
all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing
statements Mortgagee shall reasonably require. Mortgagor shall from time to
time, on request of Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee an inventory in reasonable
detail of any of the Mortgaged Property which constitutes personal property. If
Mortgagor shall fail to furnish any financing or continuation statement within
10 days after request by Mortgagee, then pursuant to the provisions of the Code,
Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee, without the signature of Mortgagor, to
execute and file any such financing and continuation statements. The filing of
any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal
property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of
Mortgagee to proceed against any personal property encumbered by this Mortgage
as real property, as set forth above.

                  26 Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee
the Rents as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to
enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of
the Indebtedness. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and
shall continue in effect until the Indebtedness is paid in full, but Mortgagee
hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of
collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use
and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents
may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
this Mortgage by giving not less than five days' written notice of such
revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay
over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease
security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such
receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for
the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such part thereof as may
be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon
default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and
surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such
receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to
become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security
deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

                  27 Trust Funds. (a) All lease security deposits of the Real
Estate in excess of $50,000 shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled
with any other funds of Mortgagor. Within 10 days after request by Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of compliance with this
subsection, together with a statement of all lease 

<PAGE>   28
                                                                              27


security deposits by lessees and copies of all Leases not previously delivered
to Mortgagee, which statement shall be certified by Mortgagor.

                  28 Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien on
the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not
such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall any holder of any
subordinate lien join any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the
lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant
under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders are
subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such
lienholder contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion and
without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or
any part of any amounts on deposit with Mortgagee under this Mortgage against
all or any part of the Indebtedness. Any such application shall not be construed
to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by
Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

                  29 Changes in Method of Taxation. In the event of the passage
after the date hereof of any law of any Governmental Authority deducting from
the value of the Premises for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon, or
changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured
thereby for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of collection of any
such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on mortgages or
debts secured thereby, the holder of this Mortgage shall have the right to
declare the Indebtedness due on a date to be specified by not less than 30 days'
written notice to be given to Mortgagor unless within such 30-day period
Mortgagor shall assume as an Obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so
imposed until full payment of the Indebtedness and such assumption shall be
permitted by law.

                  30 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or
served when presented personally, when delivered to an overnight courier service
with guaranteed next business day delivery or when deposited in the mail by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Mortgagor at the
address given on the first page of this Mortgage Attention: General Counsel, and
to Mortgagee at the address given on the first page of this Mortgage, and shall
be deemed to have been received upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or
the third calendar day after such mailing. Either party may change its address
by notice to the other party. If any party other than Mortgagor shall be
entitled to receive copies of notices, demands or approvals, failure of
Mortgagee to send such copies shall not impair the effectiveness of any notice
sent to Mortgagor.

                  31 No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be changed or
terminated orally. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date
of this Mortgage 


<PAGE>   29
                                                                              28



relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any
intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

                  32 Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or
in any provisions of the Indebtedness or Loan Documents, the obligations of
Mortgagor and of any other obligor under the Indebtedness or Loan Documents
shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or
receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to
Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

                  33 Mortgagor's Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that
may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of
any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the Indebtedness or the creation or extension
of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii)
exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under
execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do
so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or
redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any
other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases
all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of
election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and
marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created.

                  34 Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to
enforce payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and to
exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other
Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force,
notwithstanding some or all of the Indebtedness and Obligations may now or
hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge,
lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its
enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee,
it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and
any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner
as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and
shall be 


<PAGE>   30
                                                                              29



in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the
Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be
exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise
of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in
connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a
receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and Mortgagee shall not in any
way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection
with the exercise of such remedies.

                  35 Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one
or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the
same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or
hereafter hold one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other
security (directly or indirectly) for the Indebtedness upon other property in
the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is
owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in
clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law,
Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure
action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the
Indebtedness (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or
consolidated in the courts of any county in which any of such collateral is
located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated
foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the
Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to
the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single
action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further
agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other
proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any
collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or
indirectly secures the Indebtedness, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a
judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral,
then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were
obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee
may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies
granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and
Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a
foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based
on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss,
stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or
such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation
of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage nor the exercise of any other rights
hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings
shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee's right to commence or continue one
or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other
collateral (either in or 

<PAGE>   31
                                                                              30



outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or
indirectly secures the Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly waives any
objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in
such other proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such proceedings based
upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also
waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate
either such other proceedings or any action under this Mortgage on such basis.
It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by
law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is
the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at
multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are
appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and
administer all collateral securing the Indebtedness (directly or indirectly) in
the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

                  36 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor shall pay or
reimburse Mortgagee for all expenses incurred by Mortgagee before and after the
date of this Mortgage with respect to any and all transactions contemplated by
this Mortgage including without limitation, the preparation of any document
reasonably required hereunder or any amendment, modification, restatement or
supplement to this Mortgage, the delivery of any consent, non-disturbance
agreement or similar document in connection with this Mortgage or the
enforcement of any of Mortgagee's rights. Such expenses shall include, without
limitation, all title and conveyancing charges, recording and filing fees and
taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible personal property taxes, escrow fees, revenue
and tax stamp expenses, insurance premiums (including title insurance premiums),
title search and title rundown charges, brokerage commissions, finders' fees,
placement fees, court costs, surveyors', photographers', appraisers',
architects', engineers', consulting professional's, accountants' and attorneys'
fees and disbursements. Mortgagor acknowledges that from time to time Mortgagor
may receive statements for such expenses, including without limitation
attorneys' fees and disbursements. Mortgagor shall pay such statements promptly
upon receipt.

                  (b) If (i) any action or proceeding shall be commenced by
Mortgagee (including but not limited to any action to foreclose this Mortgage or
to collect the Indebtedness), or any action or proceeding is commenced to which
Mortgagee is made a party, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold
the lien of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, any proceeding or
other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any
Obligor), or in which Mortgagee is served with any legal process, discovery
notice or subpoena and (ii) in each of the foregoing instances such action or
proceeding in any manner relates to or arises out of this Mortgage or
Mortgagee's lending to Mortgagor or acceptance of a guaranty from a Guarantor of
the Indebtedness or of any of the Obligations or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Mortgage, then Mortgagor will immediately reimburse or pay
to Mortgagee all of the expenses which have been or may be incurred by Mortgagee
with respect to the foregoing (including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and as
further provided in 

<PAGE>   32
                                                                              31




the "Protected Advances" Section Below, any such sum and the interest thereon
shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property, prior to any right, or title to,
interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching or accruing
subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage, and shall be deemed to be secured by
this Mortgage. In any action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage, or to
recover or collect the Indebtedness, the provisions of law respecting the
recovering of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by
this covenant.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee and
Mortgagee's affiliates, and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of Mortgagee and its affiliates from and against all claims, damages,
losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) arising out of or based upon any matter related to this
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy, ownership, maintenance or
management of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagor, including, without
limitation, any claims based on the alleged acts or omissions of any employee or
agent of Mortgagor. This indemnification shall be in addition to any other
liability which Mortgagor may otherwise have to Mortgagee.

                  37 Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall
have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any
circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in its sole
discretion it deems such waiver advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall
run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor
(and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the
Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors
and assigns. The word "Mortgagor" shall be construed as if it read "Mortgagors"
whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than
one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

                  38 No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this
Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions
hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right
thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of
the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor.
Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for
any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged
Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this
Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or
affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any
subordinate lien.

                                                                              32



                  39 Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit, or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter

Documents or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such
action, suit or proceeding may be brought in any of the courts of the State of
Ohio, as Mortgagee may elect, and, by execution and delivery of this Mortgage,

and in respect of its property. Mortgagor further agrees that final judgment
against it in any action, suit, or proceeding referred to herein shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by suit on the

of the fact and of the amount of its indebtedness.

                  40 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Mortgagor and Mortgagee each
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any action, claim,
suit or proceeding relating to this Mortgage and for any counterclaim brought
therein. Mortgagor hereby waives all rights to interpose any counterclaim in any
suit brought by Mortgagee hereunder and all rights to have any such suit
consolidated with any separate suit, action or proceeding.

                  41 Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a
contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in
this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the

feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall
include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for
convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions
hereof.

                  42 Protective Advances. Mortgagee shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to make protective advances with respect to the Mortgaged
Property for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, repairs,
maintenance and other costs incurred in the protection of the Mortgaged Property
as contemplated by Section 5301.233 of the Ohio Revised Code, and such
protective advances, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the
date of each such advance until it is repaid in full, shall be secured by this
Mortgage to the fullest extent and with the highest priority contemplated by
such Section 5301.233.

                  Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees
with Mortgagee as follows:

                  1. Warranty of Title. Mortgagor warrants the title to the
Premises, subject only to the matters that are set forth in Schedule B of the
title insurance policy or policies being issued to Mortgagee to insure the lien
of this Mortgage (the "Permitted Exceptions").

                  2. Intentionally Deleted..

                  3. Requirements.

                  (a) Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, or cause to be
complied with, and conform to all present and future laws, statutes, codes,
ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules, regulations and requirements, and
irrespective of the nature of the work to be done, of each of the United States
of America, any State and any municipality, local government or other political
subdivision thereof and any agency, department, bureau, board, commission or
other instrumentality of any of them, now existing or subsequently created
(collectively, "Governmental Authority") which has jurisdiction over the
Mortgaged Property and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later
of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration,
repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property. All present and
future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, rules,
regulations and requirements of every Governmental Authority applicable to
Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property and all covenants, restrictions,
and conditions which now or later may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged
Property are collectively referred to as the "Legal Requirements".

                  (b) From and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises
not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part
thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any Legal Requirement, and Mortgagor
hereby assigns to Mortgagee any and all rights to give consent for all or any
portion of the Premises or any interest therein to be so used. Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission impair the integrity of any of the Real Estate as a
single zoning lot separate and apart from all other premises. Mortgagor

lot, in compliance with all subdivision laws and similar Legal Requirements. Any
act or omission by Mortgagor which would result in a violation of any of the
provisions of this subsection shall be void.

                  4. Payment of Taxes and Other Impositions. (a) Promptly when
due, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge all taxes of every kind and nature
(including, without limitation, all real and personal property, income,
franchise, withholding, transfer, gains, profits and gross receipts taxes), all
charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the

                                                                               6



benefit of any of the Mortgaged Property, all general and special assessments,
levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and
charges, vault taxes, and all other public charges even if unforeseen or
extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against or which may become a lien on
any of the Mortgaged Property, or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or
possession thereof, together with any penalties or interest on any of the
foregoing (all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as the
"Impositions"). Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee
(i) original or copies of receipted bills and canceled checks evidencing payment
of such Imposition if it is a real estate tax or other public charge and (ii)
evidence acceptable to Mortgagee showing the payment of any other such
Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor's option, may be paid in
installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and
shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.

                  (b) Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise, without notice or demand to
Mortgagor, to pay any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have
become due. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be
payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the
Default Rate.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to
receive any credit or credits toward the satisfaction of this Mortgage or on any
interest payable thereon for any taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, and shall not claim any deduction from the taxable value of
the Mortgaged Property by reason of this Mortgage.

                  (d) Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency
occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any
Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed
or construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Mortgagor's
covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in
this Section unless (i) Mortgagor has given prior written notice to Mortgagee of
Mortgagor's intent so to contest or object to an Imposition, (ii) Mortgagor
shall demonstrate to Mortgagee's satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall
operate conclusively to prevent the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such
proceedings and (iii) Mortgagor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or
surety as requested by and reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in the amount of
the Impositions which are being contested plus any interest and penalty which
may be imposed thereon and which could become a lien against the Real Estate or
any part of the Mortgaged Property.

         contractors and completed operations. The completed operations coverage
         shall stay in effect for two years after construction of any
         Improvements has been completed. The policy shall provide coverage on

         without limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring

         passageways, such insurance to afford immediate minimum protection to a

         personal injury, bodily injury or death to any one or more persons or
         damage to property;

                                                                               8

         approved by Mortgagee, in nonreporting form, covering the total value
         of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with
         an appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction);

                  (viii) boiler and machinery property insurance covering
         pressure vessels, air tanks, boilers, machinery, pressure piping,
         heating, air conditioning and elevator equipment and escalator

Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways. The amounts of
each insurance policy and the form of each such policy shall at all times be
satisfactory to Mortgagee. Each policy shall expressly provide that any proceeds

                                                                               9



which are payable to Mortgagee shall be paid by check payable to the order of
Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee only. If any required
insurance shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any condition
thereof by Mortgagor or by any lessee of any part of the Mortgaged Property or
become void or unsafe by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital of
any insurer, or if for any other reason whatsoever such insurance shall become
unsatisfactory to Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall immediately obtain new or
additional insurance satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not take out any
separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss
unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise satisfactory to Mortgagee in all
respects.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an original of each
insurance policy required to be maintained, or a certificate of such insurance
acceptable to Mortgagee, together with a copy of the declaration page for each
such policy. Mortgagor shall (i) pay as they become due all premiums for such
insurance, (ii) not later than 15 days prior to the expiration of each policy to
be furnished pursuant to the provisions of this Section, deliver a renewed
policy or policies, or duplicate original or originals thereof, marked "premium
paid," or accompanied by such other evidence of payment satisfactory to
Mortgagee with standard non-contributory mortgage clauses in favor of and
acceptable to Mortgagee. Upon request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall cause its
insurance underwriter or broker to certify to Mortgagee in writing that all the
requirements of this Mortgage governing insurance have been satisfied.

                  (c) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or
deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Mortgagee, at its option and
without notice, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium
or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such
premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment
at the Default Rate.

                  (d) Mortgagor shall increase the amount of property insurance
required to equal 100% replacement cost pursuant to the provisions of this
Section at the time of each renewal of each policy (but not later than 12 months
from the date of this Mortgage and each successive 12 month period to occur
thereafter) by using the F.W. Dodge Building Index or an equivalent index to
determine whether there shall have been an increase in the replacement value
since the most recent adjustment and, if there shall have been such an increase,
the amount of insurance required shall be adjusted accordingly.

                  (e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform to (i)
all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the
insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or
repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the
use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to
cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this
Mortgage.

<PAGE>   11
                                                                              10



                  (f) If the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be
destroyed or damaged by fire or any other casualty, whether insured or
uninsured, or in the event any claim is made against Mortgagor for any personal
injury, bodily injury or property damage incurred on or about the Premises,
Mortgagor shall give immediate notice thereof to Mortgagee. If the Mortgaged
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty and the cost to repair such damage
is less than the lesser of (i) 15% of the replacement cost of the Improvements
at the affected Real Estate site and (ii) $300,000, then provided that no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have the right
to adjust such loss, and the insurance proceeds relating to such loss may be
paid over to Mortgagor; provided that Mortgagor shall, promptly after any such
damage, repair all such damage regardless of whether any insurance proceeds have
been received or whether such proceeds, if received, are sufficient to pay for
the costs of repair. If the Mortgaged Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty, and the cost to repair such damage exceeds the above limit, or if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Mortgagor
authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option and in Mortgagee's sole
discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to make proof of loss, to adjust
and compromise any claim under any insurance policy, to appear in and prosecute
any action arising from any policy, to collect and receive insurance proceeds
and to deduct therefrom Mortgagee's expenses incurred in the collection process.
Each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment for such loss directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have the right to
require Mortgagor to repair or restore the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor
hereby designates Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making
any election required or permitted under any insurance policy relating to repair
or restoration. The insurance proceeds or any part thereof received by Mortgagee
may be applied by Mortgagee toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of
Mortgagee in collecting such proceeds, and the balance: (i) providing that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, shall be made available
to Mortgagor for purposes of restoration or repair of the property damaged; or
(ii) should an Event of Default have occurred and be continuing, at Mortgagee's
option in its sole and absolute discretion, to the principal (to the
installments in inverse order of maturity, if payable in installments) and
interest due or to become due under the Note, to fulfill any other Obligation of
Mortgagor, to the restoration or repair of the property damaged, or released to
Mortgagor. In the event Mortgagee elects to release such proceeds to Mortgagor,
Mortgagor shall be obligated to use such proceeds to restore or repair the
Mortgaged Property. Application by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds toward
the last maturing installments of principal and interest due or to become due
under the Note shall not excuse Mortgagor from making any regularly scheduled
payments due thereunder, nor shall such application extend or reduce the amount
of such payments.

                  (g) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other
transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the
Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance
policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee 

<PAGE>   12
                                                                              11



and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, in Mortgagor's
name, to assign and transfer all such policies and proceeds to such purchaser or
grantee.

                  (h) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this
Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by
Mortgagor; provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or
Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so
specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket
policy that is allocated to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and
any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other
Mortgaged Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement
providing that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril,
insurance proceeds shall be allocated to the Mortgaged Property in an amount
equal to the coverages required to be maintained by Mortgagor as provided above
and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy shall be no less
than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies
relating only to the Mortgaged Property.

                  6. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien
of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor shall not further
mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Mortgaged Property nor create or suffer to
exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and
whether recourse or non-recourse.

                  7. Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Mortgagor
shall not sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any
interest in, the Mortgaged Property.

                  8. Limitation on Fundamental Changes. Mortgagor agrees that:

                  (i) if Mortgagor is a partnership, Mortgagor shall not
         dissolve or terminate or materially amend the terms of its partnership
         agreement; and

                  (ii) Mortgagor shall not enter into any transaction of merger
         or consolidation, or liquidate or dissolve itself (or suffer any
         liquidation or dissolution), or acquire by purchase or otherwise all or
         substantially all the business or assets of, or any stock or other
         evidence of beneficial ownership of, any entity.

                  9. Maintenance; No Alteration; Inspection; Utilities. (a)
Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained all the Improvements in good
condition and repair and shall not commit or suffer any waste of the
Improvements. Mortgagor shall repair, restore, replace or rebuild promptly any
part of the Premises which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty
whatsoever. The Improvements shall not be demolished or materially altered, nor
any material additions built, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

<PAGE>   13
                                                                              12



                  (b) Mortgagee and any persons authorized by Mortgagee shall
have the right to enter and inspect the Premises and the right to inspect all
work done, labor performed and materials furnished in and about the Improvements
and the right to inspect and make copies of all books, contracts and records of
Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid when due all
utility charges which are incurred for gas, electricity, water or sewer services
furnished to the Premises and all other assessments or charges of a similar
nature, whether public or private, affecting the Premises or any portion
thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are liens thereon.

                  10. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of
the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's
option and in Mortgagee's sole discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to
commence, appear in and prosecute, in Mortgagee's or Mortgagor's name, any
action or proceeding relating to any condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion thereof, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with
such condemnation. If Mortgagee elects not to participate in such condemnation
proceeding, then Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceeding and shall consult with Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts and
cooperate with them in any defense of any such proceedings. All awards and
proceeds of condemnation shall be assigned to Mortgagee to be applied in the
same manner as insurance proceeds, as provided above, and Mortgagor agrees to
execute any such assignments of all such awards as Mortgagee may request.

                  11. Restoration. At any time when Mortgagee releases funds to
Mortgagor for restoration of any of the Mortgaged Property, then such
restoration shall be performed only in accordance with the following conditions:

                  (i) prior to the commencement of any restoration, the plans
         and specifications for such restoration, and the budgeted costs, shall
         be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee;

                  (ii) prior to making any advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee shall be satisfied that the remaining restoration funds are
         sufficient to complete the restoration and to pay all related expenses,
         including interest on the Indebtedness and real estate taxes on the
         Premises, during restoration;

                  (iii) at the time of any disbursement of the restoration
         funds, (A) no Default (as defined below) shall then exist, (B) no
         mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
         undischarged, except those discharged by the disbursement of the
         requested restoration funds and (C) a satisfactory bring-down or
         continuation of title insurance on the Premises shall be delivered to
         Mortgagee;

<PAGE>   14
                                                                              13



                  (iv) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an
         amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last
         disbursement, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of the stage of
         completion and of performance of the work in a good and workmanlike
         manner and in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications
         acceptable to Mortgagee;

                  (v) with respect to each advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee may retain 10% of the amount of such advance as a holdback
         until the restoration is fully completed;

                  (vi) the restoration funds shall bear no interest and may be
         commingled with Mortgagee's other funds;

                  (vii) Mortgagee may impose such other conditions as are
         customarily imposed by construction lenders; and

                  (viii) any restoration funds remaining shall be retained by
         Mortgagee and may be applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, to
         the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity.

                  12. Leases. (a) Mortgagor shall not (i) execute an assignment
or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (ii) without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, execute any new Lease for space in excess of 10,000 square feet.

                  (b) As to any existing or new Lease Mortgagor shall:

                  (i) promptly perform all of the provisions of the Lease on the
         part of the lessor thereunder to be performed;

                  (ii) promptly enforce all of the provisions of the Lease on
         the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed;

                  (iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising
         under or in any manner connected with the Lease or the obligations of
         Mortgagor as lessor or of the lessee thereunder;

                  (iv) exercise, within 5 days after a request by Mortgagee, any
         right to request from the lessee a certificate with respect to the
         status thereof;
<PAGE>   15
                                                                              14



                  (v) simultaneously deliver to Mortgagee copies of any notices
         of default which Mortgagor may at any time forward to or receive from
         the lessee;

                  (vi) upon request, promptly deliver to Mortgagee a fully
         executed counterpart of the Lease; and

                  (vii) promptly deliver to Mortgagee, upon Mortgagee's request,
         an assignment of the Mortgagor's interest under such Lease.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, within 10 days after
a request by Mortgagee, a written statement, certified by Mortgagor as being
true, correct and complete, containing the names of all lessees and other
occupants of the Mortgaged Property, the terms of all Leases and the spaces
occupied and rentals payable thereunder, and a list of all Leases which are then
in default, including the nature and magnitude of the default; such statement
shall be accompanied by credit information with respect to the lessees and such
other information as Mortgagee may reasonably request.

                  (d) All Leases entered into by Mortgagor after the date
hereof, if any, and all rights of any lessees thereunder shall be subject and
subordinate in all respects to the lien and provisions of this Mortgage unless
Mortgagee shall otherwise elect in writing.

                  (e) As to any existing or new Lease for space in excess of
10,000 square feet, Mortgagor shall not accept a surrender or terminate, cancel,
rescind, supplement, alter, revise, modify or amend such Lease or permit any
such action to be taken without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. As to
any exiting or new Lease, Mortgagor shall not accept the payment of rent more
than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date.

                  (f) If any act or omission of Mortgagor would give any lessee
under any Lease the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to
cancel or terminate such Lease, or to abate or offset against the payment of
rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, such lessee shall not exercise
such right until it has given written notice of such act or omission to
Mortgagee and until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall
have elapsed following the giving of such notice without a remedy being
effected.

                  (g) In the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of any remedy
under this Mortgage, the lessee under each Lease shall, if requested by
Mortgagee or any other person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagee as a
result of such enforcement, attorn to Mortgagee or to such person and shall
recognize Mortgagee or such successor in interest as lessor under the Lease
without change in the provisions thereof; provided however, that Mortgagee or
such successor in interest shall not be: (i) bound by any payment of an
installment of rent or additional rent which may have been made more than 30
days before the due date of such installment; (ii) bound by any amendment or
modification to the Lease made without the 

<PAGE>   16
                                                                              15



consent of Mortgagee or such successor in interest; (iii) liable for any
previous act or omission of Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest); (iv)
responsible for any monies owing by Mortgagor to the credit of such lessee or
subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses
which the lessee may have against Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest);
(v) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the
Premises or any portion thereof; or (vi) obligated to make any payment to such
lessee other than any security deposit actually delivered to Mortgagee or such
successor in interest. Each lessee or other occupant, upon request by Mortgagee
or such successor in interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or
instruments confirming such attornment. In addition, Mortgagor agrees that each
Lease entered into after the date of this Mortgage shall include language to the
effect of subsections (d)-(g) of this Section; provided that the provisions of
such subsections shall be self-operative and any failure of any Lease to include
such language shall not impair the binding effect of such provisions on any
lessee under such Lease.

                  13. Further Assurances/Estoppel Certificates. To further
assure Mortgagee's rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon demand of
Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not
limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in
the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable
form) as may be required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and
all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee. Mortgagor, within 5
business days after request, shall deliver, in form and substance satisfactory
to Mortgagee, a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the amount
of the Indebtedness, and whether any offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses
exist against the Indebtedness and certifying as to such other matters as
Mortgagee shall reasonably request.

                  14. Mortgagee's Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to
perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, Mortgagee, without
waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this
Mortgage, may, at any time (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform
the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate,
shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. To the extent that any
such amounts or costs paid by Mortgagee shall constitute payment of (i)
Impositions; (ii) premiums on insurance policies covering the Premises; (iii)
expenses incurred in upholding or enforcing the lien of this Mortgage,
including, but not limited to the expenses of any litigation to prosecute or
defend the rights and lien created by this Mortgage; (iv) costs of removal of or
otherwise related to Hazardous Materials (as defined below) or asbestos; or (v)
any amount, costs or charge to which Mortgagee becomes subrogated, upon payment,
whether under recognized principles of law or equity, or under express statutory
authority; then, and in each such event, such amounts or costs, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be added to the Indebtedness and
shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property
prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property
attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of
money 

<PAGE>   17
                                                                              16



by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor's
default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

                  15. Mortgagor's Existence, etc. Mortgagor shall do all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
franchises, rights and privileges under the laws of the state in which it was
formed and its right to own property and transact business in each state in
which the Real Estate is located. Mortgagor represents and warrants that
Mortgagor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or general or
limited partnership, as the case may be, in good standing, and this Mortgage has
been executed by a duly authorized partner or officer thereof, as applicable.
This Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor,
enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally.

                  16. Financial Statements; Certificates; Other Information. (a)
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee (i) within 120 days after the end of each
of its fiscal years annual operating statements and a rent roll for the Premises
and a copy of Mortgagor's annual audited report, including a statement of
sources and uses of funds of Mortgagor as at the end of such year, and related
statements of income and retained earnings and changes in financial position for
such year, and (ii) within 90 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters
(other than the last) quarterly operating statements and a rent roll for the
Premises as at the end of such quarter. The foregoing financial statements shall
be certified by the chief financial officer of or by a partner in Mortgagor, as
the case may be, and with respect to Mortgagor's annual financial statements,
also by a certified public accountant approved by Mortgagee. All financial
statements delivered to Mortgagee shall be true and correct in all respects,
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and fairly present the financial condition of the subject
as of the dates thereof and each of the operating statements shall be in
reasonable detail and include cash flow and any other information reasonably
requested by Mortgagee. Any materially adverse change that occurs in the
financial condition reflected therein after the date thereof shall be reported
to Mortgagee promptly. None of the financial statements, or any certificate or
statement furnished to Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, shall contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein or herein not misleading.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee:

<PAGE>   18
                                                                              17



                  (i) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements
         referred to in subsection (a), a certificate of an executive officer or
         of a partner of Mortgagor stating that, to the best of such person's
         knowledge, after such examination or investigation as is necessary to
         enable such person to make an informed judgment, Mortgagor during such
         period has observed or performed all of its covenants and other
         agreements, and satisfied every condition, contained in this Mortgage
         and all other documents evidencing, securing or relating to the
         Indebtedness to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that
         such person has obtained no knowledge of any Event of Default or any
         event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both,
         would constitute an Event of Default ("Default"), except as specified
         in such certificate;

                  (ii) not later than 60 days prior to the end of each 12-month
         period, commencing with the 12-month period ending on the date one year
         from the date of this Mortgage, a copy of the projections by Mortgagor
         of the operating budget and cash flow for the Premises for such
         12-month period; and

                  (iii) promptly, such additional financial and other
         information as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably request.

                  17. Notice of Certain Occurrences. Mortgagor shall give notice
to Mortgagee promptly upon the occurrence of:

                  (a) any Default or Event of Default;

                  (b) any (i) default or event of default under any provision of
any security issued by or any agreement, instrument or undertaking of Mortgagor
or which binds Mortgagor or any property thereof (collectively, "Contractual
Obligations") or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at
any time between Mortgagor and any Governmental Authority, which, with respect
to both clauses (i) and (ii), could have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor;

                  (c) any litigation or proceeding affecting Mortgagor or the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in which the amount involved is $250,000
or more and not fully covered by insurance or in which injunctive or similar
relief is sought; and

                  (d) a material adverse change in the business, operations,
property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof.

                  18 Hazardous Material. (a) Neither Mortgagor nor, to the best
knowledge of Mortgagor, any other person has ever caused or permitted, in
violation of any Legal Requirement, any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to
be placed, held, located or 

<PAGE>   19
                                                                              18



disposed of on, under or at the Premises, or any part thereof, and the Premises
have never been used (whether by Mortgagor or, to the best knowledge of
Mortgagor, by any other person, including any tenant) as a dump site or storage
(whether permanent or temporary) site for any Hazardous Material, in violation
of any Legal Requirement.

                  (b) Mortgagor represents that (i) to the best of Mortgagor's
knowledge, the Premises are free of all Hazardous Material that are in violation
of any Legal Requirement and (ii) neither the Premises nor any site within the
vicinity of the Premises is or has been adversely affected by any Hazardous
Material or is in violation of any applicable Legal Requirement of any
Governmental Authority regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning Hazardous Material.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall comply with any and all applicable Legal
Requirements governing the discharge and removal of Hazardous Material, shall
pay immediately when due the costs of removal of any Hazardous Material, and
shall keep the Premises free of any lien imposed pursuant to such Legal
Requirements. In the event Mortgagor fails to do so, after notice to Mortgagor
and the expiration of the earlier of (i) applicable cure periods hereunder, or
(ii) the cure period permitted under the applicable Legal Requirement, Mortgagee
may declare such failure an Event of Default or cause the Premises to be freed
from the Hazardous Material and the cost of the removal with interest at the
Default Rate shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor
further agrees not to release or dispose of any Hazardous Material at the
Premises without the express approval of Mortgagee and any such release or
disposal shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and any conditions
established by Mortgagee. In addition, Mortgagor agrees not to allow the
manufacture, storage, transmission, presence or disposal of any Hazardous
Material over or upon the Premises. Mortgagee shall have the right at any time
to conduct an environmental audit of the Premises and Mortgagor shall cooperate
in the conduct of such environmental audit. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and
its agents and employees access to the Premises to remove Hazardous Material.
Mortgagor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Mortgagee free and harmless from
and against all loss, costs, damage and expense (including attorneys' fees and
costs and consequential damages) Mortgagee may sustain by reason of (i) the
imposition or recording of a lien by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
Legal Requirement relating to hazardous or toxic wastes or substances or the
removal thereof ("Hazardous Material Laws"); (ii) claims of any private parties
regarding violations of Hazardous Material Laws; (iii) costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and fees incidental to the
securing of repayment of such costs and expenses) incurred by Mortgagor or
Mortgagee in connection with the removal of any such lien or in connection with
Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's compliance with any Hazardous Material Laws; and (iv)
the assertion against Mortgagee by any party of any claim in connection with
Hazardous Material.

                  (d) For the purposes of this Mortgage, "Hazardous Material"
means and includes any hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous waste, substance
or material defined as 

<PAGE>   20
                                                                              19



such in (or for purposes of) the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, any so-called "Superfund" or "Superlien" law,
or any other Legal Requirement regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous
waste, substance or material, as now or at any time in effect.

                  (e) The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of
the Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release
deed, discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  19 Asbestos. Mortgagor shall not install or permit to be
installed in the Premises friable asbestos or any substance containing asbestos
and deemed hazardous by any Legal Requirement respecting such material, or any
other building material deemed to be harmful, hazardous or injurious by relevant
Legal Requirements and with respect to any such material currently present in
the Premises shall promptly either (a) remove any material which such Legal
Requirements deem harmful, hazardous or injurious and require to be removed or
(b) otherwise comply with such Legal Requirements, at Mortgagor's expense. If
Mortgagor shall fail to so remove or otherwise comply, Mortgagee may declare an
Event of Default and/or do whatever is necessary to eliminate such substances
from the Premises or otherwise comply with the applicable Legal Requirement, and
the costs thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due
from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and its agents and
employees access to the Premises to remove such asbestos or substances.
Mortgagor shall defend, indemnify, and save Mortgagee harmless from all loss,
costs, damages and expense (including attorneys' fees and costs and
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Mortgagee by any party, as a
result of the presence of such substances or any removal or compliance with such
Legal Requirements. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the
Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release deed,
discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  20 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

                  (a) an Event of Default shall occur under the Note;

                  (b) a failure to make payment of any other sums required to be
         paid hereunder (including, without limitation, any Imposition) within
         the period required by specific provision of this Mortgage or, if no
         such period is so provided, by no later than three days after written
         notice; or

                  (c) a failure (i) to keep in force the insurance required by
         this Mortgage, or (ii) to comply with and conform to all provisions and
         requirements of the insurance

                                                                              20



         policies and the insurers thereunder which would affect Mortgagor's
         ability to keep in force the insurance required by this Mortgage or to
         collect any proceeds therefrom, or (iii) to comply with any other
         material provisions of this Mortgage regarding insurance; or

                  (d) upon default, five business days after request, in
         furnishing a statement of the outstanding amount secured by this
         Mortgage and whether any offset or defense exists against the
         Indebtedness; or

                  (e) upon the actual waste, removal or demolition of, or
         material alteration to, any part of the Premises (other than necessary
         replacements of worn or obsolete Equipment), or construction of any new
         Improvements; or

                  (f) upon failure to comply promptly with any Legal Requirement
         or order or notice of violation of law or ordinance issued by any
         Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, which
         failure could materially adverse affect the Mortgaged Property; or

                  (g) if any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in
         this Mortgage shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
         respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or

                  (h) if any Obligor (as defined below) shall (i) default in any
         payment of principal of or interest on any (A) indebtedness for
         borrowed money in respect of which an Obligor is liable, contingently
         or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or in respect of
         which such Obligor otherwise assures a creditor against loss or (B)
         obligations under leases which shall have been or should be, in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, recorded as
         capital leases for which obligations such Obligor is liable,
         contingently or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or for
         which obligations such Obligor assures a creditor against loss
         (collectively referred to as "Debt") (other than the Note) beyond the
         period of grace (not to exceed 30 days), if any, provided in the
         instrument or agreement under which such Debt was created; or (ii)
         default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or
         condition relating to any such Debt or contained in any instrument or
         agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event
         shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other
         event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of
         such Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders)
         to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Debt to become
         due prior to its stated maturity; or

                  (i) if (i) Mortgagor or any Partner or any guarantor of
         payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness or performance of any
         of the Obligations (a "Guarantor"; 

<PAGE>   22
                                                                              21



         Mortgagor, each Partner and each Guarantor being collectively referred
         to as an "Obligor") shall commence any case, proceeding or other action
         (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or
         foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief
         of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to
         it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking
         reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation,
         dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its
         debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
         other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its
         assets, or any Obligor shall make a general assignment for the benefit
         of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against any Obligor
         any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause
         (i) above which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any
         such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed,
         undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days (the events specified
         in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection being referred to as
         "Automatic Acceleration Defaults"); or (iii) there shall be commenced
         against any Obligor any case, proceeding or other action seeking
         issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar
         process against all or any substantial part of its assets, which
         results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not
         have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal
         within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) any Obligor shall take
         any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval
         of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clauses (i), (ii)
         or (iii) above; or (v) any Obligor shall generally not, or shall be
         unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as
         they become due; or

                  (j) if one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered
         against any Obligor involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or
         fully covered by insurance) of $250,000 or more and all such judgments
         or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded
         pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

                  (k) if any of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed
         by an uninsured casualty and Mortgagor does not immediately provide
         funds for the restoration of the damage caused by such casualty; or

                  (l) if Mortgagor shall further mortgage, pledge or otherwise
         encumber the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest
         therein or create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or other
         encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, whether
         superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, whether recourse
         or non-recourse; or

                  (m) if, except as permitted herein, Mortgagor shall (A) sell,
         transfer, convey or assign the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
         or any interest therein (by 
<PAGE>   23
                                                                              22



         operation of law or otherwise), or (B) lease any of the Mortgaged
         Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee;

                  (n) this Mortgage shall cease for any reason to be in full
         force and effect or Mortgagor shall so assert in writing; or

                  (o) a failure of Mortgagor to duly perform and observe, or a
         violation or breach of, any other terms, covenants, provisions or
         conditions of this Mortgage and the continuation thereof for a 30-day
         period after notice shall have been given to Mortgagor by Mortgagee
         specifying such default and requiring such default be remedied; which
         period may be extended to the extent required (but not longer than 180
         days) if such default is not susceptible of cure within 30 days so long
         as Mortgagor has commenced to cure such default within such 30-day
         period and is thereafter diligently prosecuting such cure to completion
         and so long as such delay is not likely to have a material adverse
         effect on either the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagee's rights under
         this Mortgage; provided, however, any such default that can be cured by
         the payment of money shall be promptly cured after notice by Mortgagee.

                  21 Remedies.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition
         to any other rights and remedies Mortgagee may have pursuant to the
         Loan Documents, or as provided by law, and without limitation, (a) if
         such event is an Automatic Acceleration Default, automatically the
         Indebtedness and all other amounts owing under the Note, this Mortgage
         and the other Security Documents immediately shall become due and
         payable, and (b) if such event is any other Event of Default, by notice
         to Mortgagor, Mortgagee may declare the Indebtedness (together with
         accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts payable under the Note,
         this Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be immediately due
         and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section,
         presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are
         hereby expressly waived. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event
         of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice
         or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
         against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but
         not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued
         concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee
         may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
         affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

                           (i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by
                  applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of
                  mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged
                  Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Note,
                  (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor
                  expressly granting to 

<PAGE>   24
                                                                              23



                  Mortgagee the power of sale), or (D) take such other action at
                  law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any
                  of the Loan Documents as the law may allow. Mortgagee may
                  proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution
                  thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest
                  thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including,
                  without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
                  disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on
                  any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment
                  until actual payment is made of the full amount of the
                  judgment.

                           (ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents,
                  attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or
                  inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral
                  as security for the Indebtedness and Obligations enter into
                  and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part
                  thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees
                  therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise
                  (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the
                  Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time)
                  and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged
                  Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and
                  taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without
                  limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the
                  Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such
                  conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper,
                  (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and (z) generally
                  to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or
                  thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall
                  deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

                  (b) The holder of this Mortgage, in any action to foreclose
         it, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver. In case of a
         foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee's election,
         in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically
         empowered, (without being required to do so, and in its sole and
         absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the
         Mortgaged Property to be held.

                  (c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants,
         agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, and
         notwithstanding to the contrary any exculpatory or non-recourse
         language which may be contained herein, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
         enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant,
         agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to
         invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not
         provided for in this Mortgage.

                  22 Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of
any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by
virtue of judicial 

<PAGE>   25
                                                                              24



proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of
paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting upon the Indebtedness or other sums secured by this Mortgage the net
sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the
action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this
Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Note and documents evidencing
expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting
the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the
Indebtedness as having been paid.

                  23 Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to
Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to
the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as
security for the Indebtedness and Obligations or the interest of Mortgagor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to
appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of
any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver
or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or
similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as
provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent
permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such
receivership is sooner terminated.

                  24 Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the lien or
charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or
theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Indebtedness,
Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any
person liable for the Indebtedness, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the
terms of the Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other
indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at
any time at Mortgagee's option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged
Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any
obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors in relation thereto. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less
than all of the principal amount of the Indebtedness, it is expressly agreed
that any repayments of the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall not reduce
the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the
principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding.

                  (b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens,
rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights,
powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

<PAGE>   26
                                                                              25



                  (c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this
Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of
this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property.
The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure
proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a
defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Indebtedness or
to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

                  (d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that
ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate
therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall
not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged
Property for the amount secured hereby.

                  25 Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is
the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a
Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") of the State of Kansas. If an Event of Default shall occur under this
Mortgage, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law
or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the
Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured
party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of
and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and
proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee's rights, powers and remedies
with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the
Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then
five days' notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable
notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to,
attorneys' fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall
assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place
designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

                  (b) Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by
law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word
"Equipment" are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) this Mortgage
upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office
shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the
meaning of Sections 9-313 and 9-402 of the Code; (iii) Mortgagor is the record
owner of the Real Estate; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are
as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage.

                  (c) Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee from time to time,
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee one or more separate
security agreements, in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, covering all or any part
of the Mortgaged Property and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver, or
cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any 

<PAGE>   27
                                                                              26



financing statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other
document as Mortgagee may request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain,
continue or extend the security interest under and the priority of this Mortgage
and such security instrument. Mortgagor further agrees to pay to Mortgagee on
demand all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the
preparation, execution, recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and
all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing
statements Mortgagee shall reasonably require. Mortgagor shall from time to
time, on request of Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee an inventory in reasonable
detail of any of the Mortgaged Property which constitutes personal property. If
Mortgagor shall fail to furnish any financing or continuation statement within
10 days after request by Mortgagee, then pursuant to the provisions of the Code,
Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee, without the signature of Mortgagor, to
execute and file any such financing and continuation statements. The filing of
any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal
property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of
Mortgagee to proceed against any personal property encumbered by this Mortgage
as real property, as set forth above.

                  26 Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee
the Rents as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to
enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of
the Indebtedness. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and
shall continue in effect until the Indebtedness is paid in full, but Mortgagee
hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of
collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use
and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents
may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
this Mortgage by giving not less than five days' written notice of such
revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay
over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease
security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such
receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for
the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such part thereof as may
be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon
default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and
surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such
receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to
become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security
deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

                  27 Trust Funds. (a) All lease security deposits of the Real
Estate in excess of $50,000 shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled
with any other funds of Mortgagor. Within 10 days after request by Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of compliance with this
subsection, together with a statement of all lease 

<PAGE>   28
                                                                              27



security deposits by lessees and copies of all Leases not previously delivered
to Mortgagee, which statement shall be certified by Mortgagor.

                  28 Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien on
the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not
such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall any holder of any
subordinate lien join any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the
lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant
under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders are
subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such
lienholder contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion and
without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or
any part of any amounts on deposit with Mortgagee under this Mortgage against
all or any part of the Indebtedness. Any such application shall not be construed
to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by
Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

                  29 Changes in Method of Taxation. In the event of the passage
after the date hereof of any law of any Governmental Authority deducting from
the value of the Premises for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon, or
changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured
thereby for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of collection of any
such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on mortgages or
debts secured thereby, the holder of this Mortgage shall have the right to
declare the Indebtedness due on a date to be specified by not less than 30 days'
written notice to be given to Mortgagor unless within such 30-day period
Mortgagor shall assume as an Obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so
imposed until full payment of the Indebtedness and such assumption shall be
permitted by law.

                  30 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or
served when presented personally, when delivered to an overnight courier service
with guaranteed next business day delivery or when deposited in the mail by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Mortgagor at the
address given on the first page of this Mortgage Attention: General Counsel, and
to Mortgagee at the address given on the first page of this Mortgage, and shall
be deemed to have been received upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or
the third calendar day after such mailing. Either party may change its address
by notice to the other party. If any party other than Mortgagor shall be
entitled to receive copies of notices, demands or approvals, failure of
Mortgagee to send such copies shall not impair the effectiveness of any notice
sent to Mortgagor.

                  31 No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be changed or
terminated orally. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date
of this Mortgage 

<PAGE>   29
                                                                              28



relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any
intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

                  32 Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or
in any provisions of the Indebtedness or Loan Documents, the obligations of
Mortgagor and of any other obligor under the Indebtedness or Loan Documents
shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or
receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to
Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

                  33 Mortgagor's Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that
may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of
any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the Indebtedness or the creation or extension
of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii)
exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under
execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do
so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or
redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any
other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases
all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of
election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and
marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created.

                  34 Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to
enforce payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and to
exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other
Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force,
notwithstanding some or all of the Indebtedness and Obligations may now or
hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge,
lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its
enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee,
it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and
any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner
as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and
shall be 

<PAGE>   30
                                                                              29



in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the
Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be
exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise
of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in
connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a
receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and Mortgagee shall not in any
way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection
with the exercise of such remedies.

                  35 Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one
or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the
same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or
hereafter hold one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other
security (directly or indirectly) for the Indebtedness upon other property in
the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is
owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in
clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law,
Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure
action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the
Indebtedness (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or
consolidated in the courts of any county in which any of such collateral is
located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated
foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the
Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to
the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single
action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further
agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other
proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any
collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or
indirectly secures the Indebtedness, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a
judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral,
then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were
obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee
may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies
granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and
Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a
foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based
on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss,
stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or
such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation
of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage nor the exercise of any other rights
hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings
shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee's right to commence or continue one
or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other
collateral (either in or 

<PAGE>   31
                                                                              30



outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or
indirectly secures the Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly waives any
objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in
such other proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such proceedings based
upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also
waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate
either such other proceedings or any action under this Mortgage on such basis.
It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by
law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is
the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at
multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are
appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and
administer all collateral securing the Indebtedness (directly or indirectly) in
the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

                  36 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor shall pay or
reimburse Mortgagee for all expenses incurred by Mortgagee before and after the
date of this Mortgage with respect to any and all transactions contemplated by
this Mortgage including without limitation, the preparation of any document
reasonably required hereunder or any amendment, modification, restatement or
supplement to this Mortgage, the delivery of any consent, non-disturbance
agreement or similar document in connection with this Mortgage or the
enforcement of any of Mortgagee's rights. Such expenses shall include, without
limitation, all title and conveyancing charges, recording and filing fees and
taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible personal property taxes, escrow fees, revenue
and tax stamp expenses, insurance premiums (including title insurance premiums),
title search and title rundown charges, brokerage commissions, finders' fees,
placement fees, court costs, surveyors', photographers', appraisers',
architects', engineers', consulting professional's, accountants' and attorneys'
fees and disbursements. Mortgagor acknowledges that from time to time Mortgagor
may receive statements for such expenses, including without limitation
attorneys' fees and disbursements. Mortgagor shall pay such statements promptly
upon receipt.

                  (b) If (i) any action or proceeding shall be commenced by
Mortgagee (including but not limited to any action to foreclose this Mortgage or
to collect the Indebtedness), or any action or proceeding is commenced to which
Mortgagee is made a party, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold
the lien of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, any proceeding or
other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any
Obligor), or in which Mortgagee is served with any legal process, discovery
notice or subpoena and (ii) in each of the foregoing instances such action or
proceeding in any manner relates to or arises out of this Mortgage or
Mortgagee's lending to Mortgagor or acceptance of a guaranty from a Guarantor of
the Indebtedness or of any of the Obligations or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Mortgage, then Mortgagor will immediately reimburse or pay
to Mortgagee all of the expenses which have been or may be incurred by Mortgagee
with respect to the foregoing (including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and
following the occurance 

<PAGE>   32
                                                                              31



of a Default any such sum and the interest thereon shall be a lien on the
Mortgaged Property, prior to any right, or title to, interest in or claim upon
the Mortgaged Property attaching or accruing subsequent to the lien of this
Mortgage, and shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage. In any action or
proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage, or to recover or collect the
Indebtedness, the provisions of law respecting the recovering of costs,
disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this covenant.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee and
Mortgagee's affiliates, and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of Mortgagee and its affiliates from and against all claims, damages,
losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) arising out of or based upon any matter related to this
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy, ownership, maintenance or
management of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagor, including, without
limitation, any claims based on the alleged acts or omissions of any employee or
agent of Mortgagor. This indemnification shall be in addition to any other
liability which Mortgagor may otherwise have to Mortgagee.

                  37 Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall
have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any
circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in its sole
discretion it deems such waiver advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall
run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor
(and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the
Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors
and assigns. The word "Mortgagor" shall be construed as if it read "Mortgagors"
whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than
one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

                  38 No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this
Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions
hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right
thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of
the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor.
Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for
any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged
Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this
Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or
affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any
subordinate lien.

                                                                              32



                  39 Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit, or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter
under or arising out of or in connection with this Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such
action, suit or proceeding may be brought in any of the courts of the State of
Kansas, as Mortgagee may elect, and, by execution and delivery of this Mortgage,
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts in persona, generally and
unconditionally with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding for itself
and in respect of its property. Mortgagor further agrees that final judgment
against it in any action, suit, or proceeding referred to herein shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by suit on the
judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence
of the fact and of the amount of its indebtedness.

                  40 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Mortgagor and Mortgagee each
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any action, claim,
suit or proceeding relating to this Mortgage and for any counterclaim brought
therein. Mortgagor hereby waives all rights to interpose any counterclaim in any
suit brought by Mortgagee hereunder and all rights to have any such suit
consolidated with any separate suit, action or proceeding.

                  41 Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a

Property and all covenants, restrictions, and conditions which now or later may
be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property are collectively referred to as

                  (b) From and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises
not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part
thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any Legal Requirement, and Mortgagor
hereby assigns to Mortgagee any and all rights to give consent for all or any
portion of the Premises or any interest therein to be so used. Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission impair the integrity of any of the Real Estate as a
single zoning lot separate and apart from all other premises. Mortgagor

charges for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of any of the
Mortgaged Property, all general and special assessments, levies, permits,

or assessed against or which may become a lien on any of the Mortgaged Property,
or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof, together with
any penalties or interest on any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing are
collectively referred to as the "Impositions"). Upon request by Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee (i) original or copies of receipted bills
and canceled checks evidencing payment of such Imposition if it is a real estate
tax or other public charge and (ii) evidence acceptable to Mortgagee showing the
payment of any other such Imposition. If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor's
option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the
unpaid balance of such Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition
in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such
installments with interest, if any.

                  (b) Nothing herein shall affect any right or remedy of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage or otherwise, without notice or demand to
Mortgagor, to pay any Imposition after the date such Imposition shall have
become due. Any sums paid by Mortgagee in discharge of any Impositions shall be
payable on demand by Mortgagor to Mortgagee together with interest at the
Default Rate.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to
receive any credit or credits toward the satisfaction of this Mortgage or on any

or any part thereof, and shall not claim any deduction from the taxable value of

                  (d) Mortgagor shall have the right before any delinquency
occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any
Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but such right shall not be deemed
or construed in any way as relieving, modifying, or extending Mortgagor's
covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in
this Section unless (i) Mortgagor has given prior written notice to Mortgagee of
Mortgagor's intent so to contest or object to an Imposition, (ii) Mortgagor
shall demonstrate to Mortgagee's satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall
operate conclusively to prevent the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such
proceedings and (iii) Mortgagor shall furnish a good and sufficient bond or
surety as requested by and reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in the amount of
the Impositions which are being contested plus any interest and penalty which
may be imposed thereon and which could become a lien against the Real Estate or
any part of the Mortgaged Property.

         endorsements and the policy limits shall be automatically reinstated
         after each loss;

         including the "broad form CGL endorsement" (or which incorporates the
         language of such endorsement), (including coverage for elevators and
         escalators, if any). The policy shall include coverage for independent
         contractors and completed operations. The completed operations coverage
         shall stay in effect for two years after construction of any
         Improvements has been completed. The policy shall provide coverage on
         an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, including,
         without limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
         on, in or about the Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and
         passageways, such insurance to afford immediate minimum protection to a
         limit of not less than that required by Mortgagee with respect to
         personal injury, bodily injury or death to any one or more persons or
         damage to property;

                  (vi) during the course of any construction or repair of the
         Improvements, workers' compensation insurance (including employer's
         liability insurance) for all employees of Mortgagor engaged on or with
         respect to the Premises in such amounts as are reasonably satisfactory
         to Mortgagee, but in no event less than the limits established by law;

                  (vii) during the course of any construction, addition,
         alteration or repair of the Improvements, builder's risk completed
         value form insurance against "all risks of physical loss," including
         collapse, water damage, flood and earthquake and transit coverage,
         during construction or repairs of the Improvements, with deductible
         approved by Mortgagee, in nonreporting form, covering the total value
         of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with
         an appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction);

                  (viii) boiler and machinery property insurance covering
         pressure vessels, air tanks, boilers, machinery, pressure piping,
         heating, air conditioning and elevator equipment and escalator
         equipment, provided the Improvements contain equipment of such nature,
         and insurance against rent, extra expense, business interruption and
         soft costs, if applicable, arising from any such breakdown, in such
         amounts as are 

<PAGE>   10
                                                                               9



         reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee but not less than the lesser of
         $1,000,000 or 10% of the value of the Improvements;

                  (ix) if any portion of the Premises are located in an area
         identified as a special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency
         Management Agency or other applicable agency, flood insurance in an
         amount satisfactory to Mortgagee, but in no event less than the maximum
         limit of coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act of
         1968, as amended; and

                  (x) such other insurance in such amounts as Mortgagee may
         reasonably request from time to time.

Each insurance policy (other than flood insurance written under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, in which case to the extent available)
shall (i) provide that it shall not be canceled, non-renewed or materially
amended without 30-days' prior written notice to Mortgagee, and (ii) with
respect to all property insurance, provide for deductibles not to exceed
$100,000, contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement" without any deduction made
for depreciation and with no co-insurance penalty (or attaching an agreed amount
endorsement satisfactory to Mortgagee), with loss payable solely to Mortgagee
(modified, if necessary, to provide that proceeds in the amount of replacement
cost may be retained by Mortgagee without the obligation to rebuild) as its
interest may appear, without contribution, under a "standard" or "New York"
mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee and be written by insurance companies
having an A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating of A or higher and a financial size
category of not less than XII, or otherwise as approved by Mortgagee. Liability
insurance policies shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured and contain a
waiver of subrogation against Mortgagee; all such policies shall indemnify and
hold Mortgagee harmless from all liability claims occurring on, in or about the
Premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways. The amounts of
each insurance policy and the form of each such policy shall at all times be
satisfactory to Mortgagee. Each policy shall expressly provide that any proceeds
which are payable to Mortgagee shall be paid by check payable to the order of
Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee only. If any required
insurance shall expire, be withdrawn, become void by breach of any condition
thereof by Mortgagor or by any lessee of any part of the Mortgaged Property or
become void or unsafe by reason of the failure or impairment of the capital of
any insurer, or if for any other reason whatsoever such insurance shall become
unsatisfactory to Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall immediately obtain new or
additional insurance satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not take out any
separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss
unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise satisfactory to Mortgagee in all
respects.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an original of each
insurance policy required to be maintained, or a certificate of such insurance
acceptable to Mortgagee, together with a copy of the declaration page for each
such policy. Mortgagor shall (i) pay as 

<PAGE>   11
                                                                              10



they become due all premiums for such insurance, (ii) not later than 15 days
prior to the expiration of each policy to be furnished pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, deliver a renewed policy or policies, or duplicate
original or originals thereof, marked "premium paid," or accompanied by such
other evidence of payment satisfactory to Mortgagee with standard
non-contributory mortgage clauses in favor of and acceptable to Mortgagee. Upon
request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall cause its insurance underwriter or broker
to certify to Mortgagee in writing that all the requirements of this Mortgage
governing insurance have been satisfied.

                  (c) If Mortgagor is in default of its obligations to insure or
deliver any such prepaid policy or policies, then Mortgagee, at its option and
without notice, may effect such insurance from year to year, and pay the premium
or premiums therefor, and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand such
premium or premiums so paid by Mortgagee with interest from the time of payment
at the Default Rate.

                  (d) Mortgagor shall increase the amount of property insurance
required to equal 100% replacement cost pursuant to the provisions of this
Section at the time of each renewal of each policy (but not later than 12 months
from the date of this Mortgage and each successive 12 month period to occur
thereafter) by using the F.W. Dodge Building Index or an equivalent index to
determine whether there shall have been an increase in the replacement value
since the most recent adjustment and, if there shall have been such an increase,
the amount of insurance required shall be adjusted accordingly.

                  (e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform to (i)
all provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all requirements of the
insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or
repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the
use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would permit any insurer to
cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this
Mortgage.

                  (f) If the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be
destroyed or damaged by fire or any other casualty, whether insured or
uninsured, or in the event any claim is made against Mortgagor for any personal
injury, bodily injury or property damage incurred on or about the Premises,
Mortgagor shall give immediate notice thereof to Mortgagee. If the Mortgaged
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty and the cost to repair such damage
is less than the lesser of (i) 15% of the replacement cost of the Improvements
at the affected Real Estate site and (ii) $300,000, then provided that no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have the right
to adjust such loss, and the insurance proceeds relating to such loss may be
paid over to Mortgagor; provided that Mortgagor shall, promptly after any such
damage, repair all such damage regardless of whether any insurance proceeds have
been received or whether such proceeds, if received, are sufficient to pay for
the costs of repair. If the Mortgaged Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty, and the cost to repair 


<PAGE>   12
                                                                              11



such damage exceeds the above limit, or if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then Mortgagor authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, at
Mortgagee's option and in Mortgagee's sole discretion, as attorney-in-fact for
Mortgagor, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under any
insurance policy, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from any policy,
to collect and receive insurance proceeds and to deduct therefrom Mortgagee's
expenses incurred in the collection process. Each insurance company concerned is
hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to
Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have the right to require Mortgagor to repair or
restore the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby designates Mortgagee as its
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making any election required or permitted
under any insurance policy relating to repair or restoration. The insurance
proceeds or any part thereof received by Mortgagee may be applied by Mortgagee
toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Mortgagee in collecting such
proceeds, and the balance: (i) providing that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, shall be made available to Mortgagor for purposes of
restoration or repair of the property damaged; or (ii) should an Event of
Default have occurred and be continuing, at Mortgagee's option in its sole and
absolute discretion, to the principal (to the installments in inverse order of
maturity, if payable in installments) and interest due or to become due under
the Note, to fulfill any other Obligation of Mortgagor or GPLP, to the
restoration or repair of the property damaged, or released to Mortgagor. In the
event Mortgagee elects to release such proceeds to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall be
obligated to use such proceeds to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property.
Application by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds toward the last maturing
installments of principal and interest due or to become due under the Note shall
not excuse GPLP from making any regularly scheduled payments due thereunder, nor
shall such application extend or reduce the amount of such payments.

                  (g) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other
transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the
Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance
policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee and Mortgagor
hereby appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, in Mortgagor's name, to assign
and transfer all such policies and proceeds to such purchaser or grantee.

                  (h) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this
Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by
Mortgagor; provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or
Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so
specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket
policy that is allocated to the Premises and the other Mortgaged Property and
any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Premises and the other
Mortgaged Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement
providing that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril,
insurance proceeds shall be allocated to the Mortgaged Property in an amount
equal to the coverages required to be maintained by Mortgagor as provided above
and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy 

<PAGE>   13
                                                                              12



shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate
policy or policies relating only to the Mortgaged Property.

                  6. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien
of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor shall not further
mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Mortgaged Property nor create or suffer to
exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and
whether recourse or non-recourse.

                  7. Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Mortgagor
shall not sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any
interest in, the Mortgaged Property.

                  8. Limitation on Fundamental Changes. Mortgagor agrees that:

                  (i) if Mortgagor is a partnership, Mortgagor shall not
         dissolve or terminate or materially amend the terms of its partnership
         agreement; and

                  (ii) Mortgagor shall not enter into any transaction of merger
         or consolidation, or liquidate or dissolve itself (or suffer any
         liquidation or dissolution), or acquire by purchase or otherwise all or
         substantially all the business or assets of, or any stock or other
         evidence of beneficial ownership of, any entity.

                  9. Maintenance; No Alteration; Inspection; Utilities. (a)
Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained all the Improvements in good
condition and repair and shall not commit or suffer any waste of the
Improvements. Mortgagor shall repair, restore, replace or rebuild promptly any
part of the Premises which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty
whatsoever. The Improvements shall not be demolished or materially altered, nor
any material additions built, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

                  (b) Mortgagee and any persons authorized by Mortgagee shall
have the right to enter and inspect the Premises and the right to inspect all
work done, labor performed and materials furnished in and about the Improvements
and the right to inspect and make copies of all books, contracts and records of
Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid when due all
utility charges which are incurred for gas, electricity, water or sewer services
furnished to the Premises and all other assessments or charges of a similar
nature, whether public or private, affecting the Premises or any portion
thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are liens thereon.

                  10. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of
the pendency of such 


<PAGE>   14
                                                                              13



proceedings. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option and in
Mortgagee's sole discretion, as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, to commence,
appear in and prosecute, in Mortgagee's or Mortgagor's name, any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any
portion thereof, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such
condemnation. If Mortgagee elects not to participate in such condemnation
proceeding, then Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceeding and shall consult with Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts and
cooperate with them in any defense of any such proceedings. All awards and
proceeds of condemnation shall be assigned to Mortgagee to be applied in the
same manner as insurance proceeds, as provided above, and Mortgagor agrees to
execute any such assignments of all such awards as Mortgagee may request.

                  11. Restoration. At any time when Mortgagee releases funds to
Mortgagor for restoration of any of the Mortgaged Property, then such
restoration shall be performed only in accordance with the following conditions:

                  (i) prior to the commencement of any restoration, the plans
         and specifications for such restoration, and the budgeted costs, shall
         be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee;

                  (ii) prior to making any advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee shall be satisfied that the remaining restoration funds are
         sufficient to complete the restoration and to pay all related expenses,
         including interest on the Indebtedness and real estate taxes on the
         Premises, during restoration;

                  (iii) at the time of any disbursement of the restoration
         funds, (A) no Default (as defined below) shall then exist, (B) no
         mechanics' or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
         undischarged, except those discharged by the disbursement of the
         requested restoration funds and (C) a satisfactory bring-down or
         continuation of title insurance on the Premises shall be delivered to
         Mortgagee;

                  (iv) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an
         amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last
         disbursement, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of the stage of
         completion and of performance of the work in a good and workmanlike
         manner and in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications
         acceptable to Mortgagee;

                  (v) with respect to each advance of restoration funds,
         Mortgagee may retain 10% of the amount of such advance as a holdback
         until the restoration is fully completed;

                  (vi) the restoration funds shall bear no interest and may be
         commingled with Mortgagee's other funds;

<PAGE>   15
                                                                              14



                  (vii) Mortgagee may impose such other conditions as are
         customarily imposed by construction lenders; and

                  (viii) any restoration funds remaining shall be retained by
         Mortgagee and may be applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, to
         the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity.

                  12. Leases. (a) Mortgagor shall not (i) execute an assignment
or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property
other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (ii) without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, execute any new Lease for space in excess of 10,000 square feet.

                  (b) As to any existing or new Lease Mortgagor shall:

                  (i) promptly perform all of the provisions of the Lease on the
         part of the lessor thereunder to be performed;

                  (ii) promptly enforce all of the provisions of the Lease on
         the part of the lessee thereunder to be performed;

                  (iii) appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising
         under or in any manner connected with the Lease or the obligations of
         Mortgagor as lessor or of the lessee thereunder;

                  (iv) exercise, within 5 days after a request by Mortgagee, any
         right to request from the lessee a certificate with respect to the
         status thereof;

                  (v) simultaneously deliver to Mortgagee copies of any notices
         of default which Mortgagor may at any time forward to or receive from
         the lessee;

                  (vi) upon request, promptly deliver to Mortgagee a fully
         executed counterpart of the Lease; and

                  (vii) promptly deliver to Mortgagee, upon Mortgagee's request,
         an assignment of the Mortgagor's interest under such Lease.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee, within 10 days after
a request by Mortgagee, a written statement, certified by Mortgagor as being
true, correct and complete, containing the names of all lessees and other
occupants of the Mortgaged Property, the terms of all Leases and the spaces
occupied and rentals payable thereunder, and a list of all Leases which are then
in default, including the nature and magnitude of the default; such statement

<PAGE>   16
                                                                              15



shall be accompanied by credit information with respect to the lessees and such
other information as Mortgagee may reasonably request.

                  (d) All Leases entered into by Mortgagor after the date
hereof, if any, and all rights of any lessees thereunder shall be subject and
subordinate in all respects to the lien and provisions of this Mortgage unless
Mortgagee shall otherwise elect in writing.

                  (e) As to any existing or new Lease for space in excess of
10,000 square feet, Mortgagor shall not accept a surrender or terminate, cancel,
rescind, supplement, alter, revise, modify or amend such Lease or permit any
such action to be taken without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. As to
any exiting or new Lease, Mortgagor shall not accept the payment of rent more
than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date. The provisions of this
subsection are made with reference to Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of
the State of New York.

                  (f) If any act or omission of Mortgagor would give any lessee
under any Lease the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to
cancel or terminate such Lease, or to abate or offset against the payment of
rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, such lessee shall not exercise
such right until it has given written notice of such act or omission to
Mortgagee and until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall
have elapsed following the giving of such notice without a remedy being
effected.

                  (g) In the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of any remedy
under this Mortgage, the lessee under each Lease shall, if requested by
Mortgagee or any other person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagee as a
result of such enforcement, attorn to Mortgagee or to such person and shall
recognize Mortgagee or such successor in interest as lessor under the Lease
without change in the provisions thereof; provided however, that Mortgagee or
such successor in interest shall not be: (i) bound by any payment of an
installment of rent or additional rent which may have been made more than 30
days before the due date of such installment; (ii) bound by any amendment or
modification to the Lease made without the consent of Mortgagee or such
successor in interest; (iii) liable for any previous act or omission of
Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest); (iv) responsible for any monies
owing by Mortgagor to the credit of such lessee or subject to any credits,
offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which the lessee may have
against Mortgagor (or its predecessors in interest); (v) bound by any covenant
to undertake or complete any construction of the Premises or any portion
thereof; or (vi) obligated to make any payment to such lessee other than any
security deposit actually delivered to Mortgagee or such successor in interest.
Each lessee or other occupant, upon request by Mortgagee or such successor in
interest, shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such
attornment. In addition, Mortgagor agrees that each Lease entered into after the
date of this Mortgage shall include language to the effect of subsections
(d)-(g) of this Section; provided that the provisions of such subsections 

<PAGE>   17
                                                                              16




shall be self-operative and any failure of any Lease to include such language
shall not impair the binding effect of such provisions on any lessee under such
Lease.

                  13. Further Assurances/Estoppel Certificates. To further
assure Mortgagee's rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon demand of
Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not
limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in
the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable
form) as may be required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and
all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee. Mortgagor, within 5
business days after request, shall deliver, in form and substance satisfactory
to Mortgagee, a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the amount
of the Indebtedness, and whether any offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses
exist against the Indebtedness and certifying as to such other matters as
Mortgagee shall reasonably request.

                  14. Mortgagee's Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to
perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor, Mortgagee, without
waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this
Mortgage, may, at any time (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform
the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate,
shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. To the extent that any
such amounts or costs paid by Mortgagee shall constitute payment of (i)
Impositions; (ii) premiums on insurance policies covering the Premises; (iii)
expenses incurred in upholding or enforcing the lien of this Mortgage,
including, but not limited to the expenses of any litigation to prosecute or
defend the rights and lien created by this Mortgage; (iv) costs of removal of or
otherwise related to Hazardous Materials (as defined below) or asbestos; or (v)
any amount, costs or charge to which Mortgagee becomes subrogated, upon payment,
whether under recognized principles of law or equity, or under express statutory
authority; then, and in each such event, such amounts or costs, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be added to the Indebtedness and
shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property
prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property
attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of
money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure
Mortgagor's default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

                  15. Mortgagor's Existence, etc. Mortgagor shall do all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
franchises, rights and privileges under the laws of the state in which it was
formed and its right to own property and transact business in each state in
which the Real Estate is located. Mortgagor represents and warrants that
Mortgagor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or general or
limited partnership, as the case may be, in good standing, and this Mortgage has
been executed by a duly authorized partner or officer thereof, as applicable.
This Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor,
enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

<PAGE>   18
                                                                              17



reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally.

                  16. Financial Statements; Certificates; Other Information. (a)
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee (i) within 120 days after the end of each
of its fiscal years annual operating statements and a rent roll for the Premises
and a copy of Mortgagor's annual audited report, including a statement of
sources and uses of funds of Mortgagor as at the end of such year, and related
statements of income and retained earnings and changes in financial position for
such year, and (ii) within 90 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters
(other than the last) quarterly operating statements and a rent roll for the
Premises as at the end of such quarter. The foregoing financial statements shall
be certified by the chief financial officer of or by a partner in Mortgagor, as
the case may be, and with respect to Mortgagor's annual financial statements,
also by a certified public accountant approved by Mortgagee. All financial
statements delivered to Mortgagee shall be true and correct in all respects,
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and fairly present the financial condition of the subject
as of the dates thereof and each of the operating statements shall be in
reasonable detail and include cash flow and any other information reasonably
requested by Mortgagee. Any materially adverse change that occurs in the
financial condition reflected therein after the date thereof shall be reported
to Mortgagee promptly. None of the financial statements, or any certificate or
statement furnished to Mortgagee by or on behalf of Mortgagor in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, shall contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein or herein not misleading.

                  (b) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee:

                  (i) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements
         referred to in subsection (a), a certificate of an executive officer or
         of a partner of Mortgagor stating that, to the best of such person's
         knowledge, after such examination or investigation as is necessary to
         enable such person to make an informed judgment, Mortgagor during such
         period has observed or performed all of its covenants and other
         agreements, and satisfied every condition, contained in this Mortgage
         and all other documents evidencing, securing or relating to the
         Indebtedness to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that
         such person has obtained no knowledge of any Event of Default or any
         event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both,
         would constitute an Event of Default ("Default"), except as specified
         in such certificate;

                  (ii) not later than 60 days prior to the end of each 12-month
         period, commencing with the 12-month period ending on the date one year
         from the date of this Mortgage, a copy of the projections by Mortgagor
         of the operating budget and cash flow for the Premises for such
         12-month period; and

                                                                              18



                  (iii) promptly, such additional financial and other
         information as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably request.

                  17. Notice of Certain Occurrences. Mortgagor shall give notice
to Mortgagee promptly upon the occurrence of:

                  (a) any Default or Event of Default;

                  (b) any (i) default or event of default under any provision of
any security issued by or any agreement, instrument or undertaking of Mortgagor
or which binds Mortgagor or any property thereof (collectively, "Contractual
Obligations") or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at
any time between Mortgagor and any Governmental Authority, which, with respect
to both clauses (i) and (ii), could have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor;

                  (c) any litigation or proceeding affecting Mortgagor or the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in which the amount involved is $250,000
or more and not fully covered by insurance or in which injunctive or similar
relief is sought; and

                  (d) a material adverse change in the business, operations,
property or financial or other condition of Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof.

                  18 Hazardous Material. (a) Neither Mortgagor nor, to the best
knowledge of Mortgagor, any other person has ever caused or permitted, in
violation of any Legal Requirement, any Hazardous Material (as defined below) to
be placed, held, located or disposed of on, under or at the Premises, or any
part thereof, and the Premises have never been used (whether by Mortgagor or, to
the best knowledge of Mortgagor, by any other person, including any tenant) as a
dump site or storage (whether permanent or temporary) site for any Hazardous
Material, in violation of any Legal Requirement.

                  (b) Mortgagor represents that (i) to the best of Mortgagor's
knowledge, the Premises are free of all Hazardous Material that are in violation
of any Legal Requirement and (ii) neither the Premises nor any site within the
vicinity of the Premises is or has been adversely affected by any Hazardous
Material or is in violation of any applicable Legal Requirement of any
Governmental Authority regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning Hazardous Material.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall comply with any and all applicable Legal
Requirements governing the discharge and removal of Hazardous Material, shall
pay immediately when due the costs of removal of any Hazardous Material, and
shall keep the Premises free of any lien imposed pursuant to such Legal
Requirements. In the event Mortgagor fails to do so, after 


<PAGE>   20
                                                                              19


notice to Mortgagor and the expiration of the earlier of (i) applicable cure
periods hereunder, or (ii) the cure period permitted under the applicable Legal
Requirement, Mortgagee may declare such failure an Event of Default or cause the
Premises to be freed from the Hazardous Material and the cost of the removal
with interest at the Default Rate shall immediately be due from Mortgagor to
Mortgagee. Mortgagor further agrees not to release or dispose of any Hazardous
Material at the Premises without the express approval of Mortgagee and any such
release or disposal shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and any
conditions established by Mortgagee. In addition, Mortgagor agrees not to allow
the manufacture, storage, transmission, presence or disposal of any Hazardous
Material over or upon the Premises. Mortgagee shall have the right at any time
to conduct an environmental audit of the Premises and Mortgagor shall cooperate
in the conduct of such environmental audit. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and
its agents and employees access to the Premises to remove Hazardous Material.
Mortgagor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Mortgagee free and harmless from
and against all loss, costs, damage and expense (including attorneys' fees and
costs and consequential damages) Mortgagee may sustain by reason of (i) the
imposition or recording of a lien by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any
Legal Requirement relating to hazardous or toxic wastes or substances or the
removal thereof ("Hazardous Material Laws"); (ii) claims of any private parties
regarding violations of Hazardous Material Laws; (iii) costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and fees incidental to the
securing of repayment of such costs and expenses) incurred by Mortgagor or
Mortgagee in connection with the removal of any such lien or in connection with
Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's compliance with any Hazardous Material Laws; and (iv)
the assertion against Mortgagee by any party of any claim in connection with
Hazardous Material.

                  (d) For the purposes of this Mortgage, "Hazardous Material"
means and includes any hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous waste, substance
or material defined as such in (or for purposes of) the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, any so-called
"Superfund" or "Superlien" law, or any other Legal Requirement regulating,
relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning, any
hazardous, nuclear, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material, as now or
at any time in effect.

                  (e) The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of
the Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release
deed, discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  19 Asbestos. Mortgagor shall not install or permit to be
installed in the Premises friable asbestos or any substance containing asbestos
and deemed hazardous by any Legal Requirement respecting such material, or any
other building material deemed to be harmful, hazardous or injurious by relevant
Legal Requirements and with respect to any such material currently present in
the Premises shall promptly either (a) remove any material which such Legal
Requirements deem harmful, hazardous or injurious and require to be removed or

<PAGE>   21
                                                                              20



(b) otherwise comply with such Legal Requirements, at Mortgagor's expense. If
Mortgagor shall fail to so remove or otherwise comply, Mortgagee may declare an
Event of Default and/or do whatever is necessary to eliminate such substances
from the Premises or otherwise comply with the applicable Legal Requirement, and
the costs thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due
from Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee and its agents and
employees access to the Premises to remove such asbestos or substances.
Mortgagor shall defend, indemnify, and save Mortgagee harmless from all loss,
costs, damages and expense (including attorneys' fees and costs and
consequential damages) asserted or proven against Mortgagee by any party, as a
result of the presence of such substances or any removal or compliance with such
Legal Requirements. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the
Note, notwithstanding the delivery of any satisfaction, release or release deed,
discharge or deed of reconveyance, or the assignment of this Mortgage by
Mortgagee.

                  20 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

                  (a) an Event of Default shall occur under the Note;

                  (b) a failure to make payment of any other sums required to be
         paid hereunder (including, without limitation, any Imposition) within
         the period required by specific provision of this Mortgage or, if no
         such period is so provided, by no later than three days after written
         notice; or

                  (c) a failure (i) to keep in force the insurance required by
         this Mortgage, or (ii) to comply with and conform to all provisions and
         requirements of the insurance policies and the insurers thereunder
         which would affect Mortgagor's ability to keep in force the insurance
         required by this Mortgage or to collect any proceeds therefrom, or
         (iii) to comply with any other material provisions of this Mortgage
         regarding insurance; or

                  (d) upon default, five business days after request, in
         furnishing a statement of the outstanding amount secured by this
         Mortgage and whether any offset or defense exists against the
         Indebtedness; or

                  (e) upon the actual waste, removal or demolition of, or
         material alteration to, any part of the Premises (other than necessary
         replacements of worn or obsolete Equipment), or construction of any new
         Improvements; or

                  (f) upon failure to comply promptly with any Legal Requirement
         or order or notice of violation of law or ordinance issued by any
         Governmental Authority 

<PAGE>   22
                                                                              21



         having jurisdiction over the Premises, which failure could materially
         adverse affect the Mortgaged Property; or

                  (g) if any representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in
         this Mortgage shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
         respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or

                  (h) if any Obligor (as defined below) shall (i) default in any
         payment of principal of or interest on any (A) indebtedness for
         borrowed money in respect of which an Obligor is liable, contingently
         or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or in respect of
         which such Obligor otherwise assures a creditor against loss or (B)
         obligations under leases which shall have been or should be, in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, recorded as
         capital leases for which obligations such Obligor is liable,
         contingently or otherwise, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or for
         which obligations such Obligor assures a creditor against loss
         (collectively referred to as "Debt") (other than the Note) beyond the
         period of grace (not to exceed 30 days), if any, provided in the
         instrument or agreement under which such Debt was created; or (ii)
         default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or
         condition relating to any such Debt or contained in any instrument or

         shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other
         event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of
         such Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders)
         to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Debt to become
         due prior to its stated maturity; or

                  (i) if (i) Mortgagor or any Partner or any guarantor of
         payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness or performance of any
         of the Obligations (a "Guarantor"; Mortgagor, each Partner and each
         Guarantor being collectively referred to as an "Obligor") shall
         commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or
         future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to

         official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or
         any Obligor shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its
         creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against any Obligor any
         case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i)
         above which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such
         adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or
         unbonded for a period of 60 days (the events specified in clauses (i)
         and (ii) of this subsection being referred to as "Automatic
         Acceleration Defaults"); or (iii) there shall be commenced against any
         Obligor any case, proceeding or other action 

<PAGE>   23
                                                                              22



         seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or
         similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets,
         which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall
         not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal
         within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) any Obligor shall take

         or (iii) above; or (v) any Obligor shall generally not, or shall be
         unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as
         they become due; or

                  (j) if one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered
         against any Obligor involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or
         fully covered by insurance) of $250,000 or more and all such judgments
         or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded
         pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

                  (k) if any of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed
         by an uninsured casualty and Mortgagor does not immediately provide
         funds for the restoration of the damage caused by such casualty; or

                  (l) if Mortgagor shall further mortgage, pledge or otherwise
         encumber the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest
         therein or create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or other
         encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, whether
         superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage, whether recourse
         or non-recourse; or

                  (m) if, except as permitted herein, Mortgagor shall (A) sell,
         transfer, convey or assign the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
         or any interest therein (by operation of law or otherwise), or (B)
         lease any of the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent
         of Mortgagee;

                  (n) this Mortgage shall cease for any reason to be in full
         force and effect or Mortgagor shall so assert in writing; or

                  (o) a failure of Mortgagor to duly perform and observe, or a
         violation or breach of, any other terms, covenants, provisions or
         conditions of this Mortgage and the continuation thereof for a 30-day
         period after notice shall have been given to Mortgagor by Mortgagee
         specifying such default and requiring such default be remedied; which
         period may be extended to the extent required (but not longer than 180
         days) if such default is not susceptible of cure within 30 days so long
         as Mortgagor has commenced to cure such default within such 30-day
         period and is thereafter diligently prosecuting such cure to completion
         and so long as such delay is not likely to have a material adverse
         effect on either the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagee's rights 

<PAGE>   24
                                                                              23



         under this Mortgage; provided, however, any such default that can be
         cured by the payment of money shall be promptly cured after notice by
         Mortgagee.

                  21 Remedies.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition
         to any other rights and remedies Mortgagee may have pursuant to the
         Loan Documents, or as provided by law, and without limitation, (a) if
         such event is an Automatic Acceleration Default, automatically the
         Indebtedness and all other amounts owing under the Note, this Mortgage
         and the other Security Documents immediately shall become due and
         payable, and (b) if such event is any other Event of Default, by notice
         to Mortgagor, Mortgagee may declare the Indebtedness (together with
         accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts payable under the Note,
         this Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be immediately due
         and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section,
         presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are
         hereby expressly waived. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event
         of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice
         or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
         against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but
         not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued
         concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee
         may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
         affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

                           (i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by
                  applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of
                  mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged
                  Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Note,
                  (C) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor
                  expressly granting to Mortgagee the power of sale), or (D)
                  take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement
                  of this Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents as the law may
                  allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final
                  judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder,
                  together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and all
                  costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable
                  attorneys' fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default
                  Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from
                  the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full
                  amount of the judgment.

                           (ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents,
                  attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or
                  inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral
                  as security for the Indebtedness and Obligations enter into
                  and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part
                  thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees
                  therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise
                  (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender 

<PAGE>   25
                                                                              24



                  possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand
                  at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and
                  control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof.
                  Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall
                  be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part
                  or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time
                  and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion,
                  deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease and
                  (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed,
                  matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee
                  shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

                  (b) The holder of this Mortgage, in any action to foreclose
         it, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver. In case of a
         foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee's election,
         in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically
         empowered, (without being required to do so, and in its sole and
         absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the
         Mortgaged Property to be held.

                  (c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants,
         agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, and
         notwithstanding to the contrary any exculpatory or non-recourse
         language which may be contained herein, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
         enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant,
         agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to
         invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not
         provided for in this Mortgage.

                  22 Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of
any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by
virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and
sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the
purchase price by crediting upon the Indebtedness or other sums secured by this
Mortgage the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and
the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to
deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Note and documents
evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons
conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited
upon the Indebtedness as having been paid.

                  23 Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to
Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to
the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as
security for the Indebtedness and Obligations or the interest of Mortgagor
therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction 

<PAGE>   26
                                                                              25


to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property,
and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice
of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such
receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of
entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the
extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of
the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers
until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such
receivership is sooner terminated.

                  24 Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the lien or
charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or
theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Indebtedness,
Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any
person liable for the Indebtedness, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the
terms of the Indebtedness or any guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other
indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at
any time at Mortgagee's option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged
Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any
obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements
with debtors in relation thereto. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less
than all of the principal amount of the Indebtedness, it is expressly agreed
that any repayments of the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall not reduce
the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until the lien amount shall equal the
principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding.

                  (b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other
property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens,
rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights,
powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

                  (c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this
Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien of
this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property.
The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure
proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a
defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Indebtedness or
to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

                  (d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that
ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate
therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall
not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged
Property for the amount secured hereby.

                  25 Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is
the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a
Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the
"Code") of the State of New York. If an 

<PAGE>   27
                                                                              26



Event of Default shall occur under this Mortgage, then in addition to having any
other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the
option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and
remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all
or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including,
without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii)
treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the
real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance
with Mortgagee's rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property
(in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If
Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then five days' notice of sale
of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable
expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred
by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys' fees and legal
expenses. At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property
and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is
reasonably convenient to both parties.

                  (b) Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by
law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word
"Equipment" are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) this Mortgage
upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office
shall constitute a financing statement filed as a "fixture filing" within the
meaning of Sections 9-313 and 9-402 of the Code; (iii) Mortgagor is the record
owner of the Real Estate; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are
as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage.

                  (c) Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee from time to time,
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee one or more separate
security agreements, in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, covering all or any part
of the Mortgaged Property and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver, or
cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any financing statement,
affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other document as Mortgagee
may request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue or extend the
security interest under and the priority of this Mortgage and such security
instrument. Mortgagor further agrees to pay to Mortgagee on demand all costs and
expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, execution,
recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs
and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Mortgagee shall
reasonably require. Mortgagor shall from time to time, on request of Mortgagee,
deliver to Mortgagee an inventory in reasonable detail of any of the Mortgaged
Property which constitutes personal property. If Mortgagor shall fail to furnish
any financing or continuation statement within 10 days after request by
Mortgagee, then pursuant to the provisions of the Code, Mortgagor hereby
authorizes Mortgagee, without the signature of Mortgagor, to execute and file
any such financing and continuation statements. The filing of any financing or
continuation statements in the records relating to personal property or chattels
shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of Mortgagee to proceed
against any personal property encumbered by this Mortgage as real property, as
set forth above.
<PAGE>   28
                                                                              27



                  26 Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee
the Rents as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to
enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of
the Indebtedness. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and
shall continue in effect until the Indebtedness is paid in full, but Mortgagee
hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of
collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use
and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents
may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
this Mortgage by giving not less than five days' written notice of such
revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay
over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease
security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such
receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for
the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such part thereof as may
be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon
default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and
surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such
receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to
become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security
deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any). The agreement
contained in this Section has been made with reference to section 291-f of the
Real Property Law of the State of New York.

                  27 Trust Funds. (a) Mortgagor shall receive the advances
secured hereby subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien
Law of the State of New York.

                  (b) All lease security deposits of the Real Estate in excess
of $50,000 shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled with any other
funds of Mortgagor. Within 10 days after request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall
furnish Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of compliance with this subsection,
together with a statement of all lease security deposits by lessees and copies
of all Leases not previously delivered to Mortgagee, which statement shall be
certified by Mortgagor.

                  28 Additional Rights. (a) The clauses and covenants contained
in this Mortgage that are construed by Section 254 of the Real Property Law of
the State of New York shall be construed as provided in those sections, except
that the provisions of subsection 4 of such Section 254 shall not in any manner
apply to or construe the provisions of this Mortgage; the additional clauses and
covenants contained herein shall afford rights supplemental to and not exclusive
of the rights conferred by the clauses and covenants construed by such Section
254 and shall not impair, modify, alter or defeat such rights (except 

<PAGE>   29
                                                                              28




that the provisions of this Mortgage governing insurance shall be exclusive of
and shall be in substitution for the rights which would be conferred by the
clauses and covenants construed by such subsection 4 of such Section 254),
notwithstanding that such additional clauses and covenants may relate to the
same subject matter or provide for different or additional rights in the same or
similar contingencies as the clauses and covenants construed by such Section
254; the rights of Mortgagee arising under clauses and covenants contained in
this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none of them shall
be in exclusion of the others; no act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an
election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision, anything herein or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding, and in
the event of any inconsistencies between the provisions of such Section 254 and
the provisions of this Mortgage, the provisions of this Mortgage shall prevail.

                  (b) The holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged
Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is
subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall any holder of any subordinate lien join
any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify,
interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease.
By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders are subject to and
notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder contrary
to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion and without regard to the
adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or any part of any
amounts on deposit with Mortgagee under this Mortgage against all or any part of
the Indebtedness. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive
any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on
account of such Default or Event of Default.

                  29 Changes in Method of Taxation. In the event of the passage
after the date hereof of any law of any Governmental Authority deducting from
the value of the Premises for the purposes of taxation any lien thereon, or
changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured
thereby for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of collection of any
such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on mortgages or
debts secured thereby, the holder of this Mortgage shall have the right to
declare the Indebtedness due on a date to be specified by not less than 30 days'
written notice to be given to Mortgagor unless within such 30-day period
Mortgagor shall assume as an Obligation hereunder the payment of any tax so
imposed until full payment of the Indebtedness and such assumption shall be
permitted by law.

                  30 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or
served when presented personally, when delivered to an overnight courier service
with guaranteed next business day delivery or when deposited in the mail by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Mortgagor at the
address given on the first page of this Mortgage Attention: General Counsel, and
to Mortgagee at the address given on the first page of this Mortgage, 

<PAGE>   30
                                                                              29



and shall be deemed to have been received upon the earlier of actual receipt
thereof or the third calendar day after such mailing. Either party may change
its address by notice to the other party. If any party other than Mortgagor
shall be entitled to receive copies of notices, demands or approvals, failure of
Mortgagee to send such copies shall not impair the effectiveness of any notice
sent to Mortgagor.

                  31 No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be changed or
terminated orally. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date
of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of
the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

                  32 Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been
included. Notwithstanding to the contrary anything contained in this Mortgage or
in any provisions of the Indebtedness or Loan Documents, the obligations of
Mortgagor and of any other obligor under the Indebtedness or Loan Documents
shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or
receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to
Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law to be charged by Mortgagee.

                  33 Mortgagor's Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that
may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of
any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the
enforcement of the collection of the Indebtedness or the creation or extension
of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii)
exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under
execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do
so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or
redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any
other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors
and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases
all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of
election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and
marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created.

                  34 Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to
enforce payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and to
exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other
Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force,
notwithstanding some or all of the Indebtedness and 


<PAGE>   31
                                                                              30



Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage,
security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the
acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any
manner affect Mortgagee's right to realize upon or enforce any other security
now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be
entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held
by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute
discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended
to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but
each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every
power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which it
may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. In no event
shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage
(including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to
Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to
all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in
possession," and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act,
either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such
remedies.

                  35 Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one
or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the
same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or
hereafter hold one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other
security (directly or indirectly) for the Indebtedness upon other property in
the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is
owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in
clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law,
Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure
action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the
Indebtedness (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or
consolidated in the courts of any county in which any of such collateral is
located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated
foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the
Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to
the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single
action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further
agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other
proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any
collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or
indirectly secures the Indebtedness, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a
judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral,
then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were
obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee
may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies
granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property 


<PAGE>   32
                                                                              31



and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a
foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based
on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss,
stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or
such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation
of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage nor the exercise of any other rights
hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings
shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee's right to commence or continue one
or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other
collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located)
which directly or indirectly secures the Indebtedness, and Mortgagor expressly
waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a
judgment in such other proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such
proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and
Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or
consolidate either such other proceedings or any action under this Mortgage on
such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all
collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a
single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other
measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to
dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Indebtedness (directly or
indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

                  36 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Mortgagor shall pay or
reimburse Mortgagee for all expenses incurred by Mortgagee before and after the
date of this Mortgage with respect to any and all transactions contemplated by
this Mortgage including without limitation, the preparation of any document
reasonably required hereunder or any amendment, modification, restatement or
supplement to this Mortgage, the delivery of any consent, non-disturbance
agreement or similar document in connection with this Mortgage or the
enforcement of any of Mortgagee's rights. Such expenses shall include, without
limitation, all title and conveyancing charges, recording and filing fees and
taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible personal property taxes, escrow fees, revenue
and tax stamp expenses, insurance premiums (including title insurance premiums),
title search and title rundown charges, brokerage commissions, finders' fees,
placement fees, court costs, surveyors', photographers', appraisers',
architects', engineers', consulting professional's, accountants' and attorneys'
fees and disbursements. Mortgagor acknowledges that from time to time Mortgagor
may receive statements for such expenses, including without limitation
attorneys' fees and disbursements. Mortgagor shall pay such statements promptly
upon receipt.

                  (b) If (i) any action or proceeding shall be commenced by
Mortgagee (including but not limited to any action to foreclose this Mortgage or
to collect the Indebtedness), or any action or proceeding is commenced to which
Mortgagee is made a party, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold
the lien of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, any proceeding or
other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or 


<PAGE>   33
                                                                              32



reorganization of any Obligor), or in which Mortgagee is served with any legal
process, discovery notice or subpoena and (ii) in each of the foregoing
instances such action or proceeding in any manner relates to or arises out of
this Mortgage or Mortgagee's lending to Mortgagor or acceptance of a guaranty
from a Guarantor of the Indebtedness or of any of the Obligations or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Mortgage, then Mortgagor will immediately
reimburse or pay to Mortgagee all of the expenses which have been or may be
incurred by Mortgagee with respect to the foregoing (including reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements), together with interest thereon at the Default
Rate, and following the occurrence of a Default any such sum and the interest
thereon shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property, prior to any right, or title
to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching or accruing
subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage, and shall be deemed to be secured by
this Mortgage. In any action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage, or to
recover or collect the Indebtedness, the provisions of law respecting the
recovering of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by
this covenant.

                  (c) Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee and
Mortgagee's affiliates, and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of Mortgagee and its affiliates from and against all claims, damages,
losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) arising out of or based upon any matter related to this
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or the occupancy, ownership, maintenance or
management of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagor, including, without
limitation, any claims based on the alleged acts or omissions of any employee or
agent of Mortgagor. This indemnification shall be in addition to any other
liability which Mortgagor may otherwise have to Mortgagee.

                  37 Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of
Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall
have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any
circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in its sole
discretion it deems such waiver advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall
run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor
(and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the
Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors
and assigns. The word "Mortgagor" shall be construed as if it read "Mortgagors"
whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than
one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

                  38 No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this
Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions
hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right
thereafter to insist upon the strict 

<PAGE>   34
                                                                              33



performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this
Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of
consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the
holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the
security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the
remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or affecting the lien of this
Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien.

                  39 Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit, or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter
under or arising out of or in connection with this Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such
action, suit or proceeding may be brought in the United States Courts for the
Southern District of New York, or in the courts of the State of New York, as
Mortgagee may elect, and, by execution and delivery of this Mortgage, Mortgagor
hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each
of the aforesaid courts in persona, generally and unconditionally with respect
to any such action, suit or proceeding for itself and in respect of its
property. Mortgagor further agrees that final judgment against it in any action,
suit, or proceeding referred to herein shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in any other jurisdiction, by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified
copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of its
indebtedness.

                  40 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Mortgagor and Mortgagee each
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any action, claim,
suit or proceeding relating to this Mortgage and for any counterclaim brought
therein. Mortgagor hereby waives all rights to interpose any counterclaim in any

$19,000,000                                                     November 1, 1998

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GLIMCHER PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the

$19,000,000 (the "Bonds") and for the proceeds of the Bonds to be loaned to the
Borrower to pay costs of the project described in the Loan Agreement (the

                  The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on this Note at such times and in such amounts
which will permit the Authority to make timely payments of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.

                  Interest on this Note shall be computed and shall be payable
on the same terms and conditions as the interest on the Bonds, and all of the
terms and provisions of the Bonds pertaining thereto are incorporated by
reference herein.

                  In any case where the date of maturity of interest on or
principal of this Note or the date fixed for prepayment or redemption of this
Note shall be on a Saturday, Sunday, a day on which commercial banks in the city
in which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is located are authorized by
law to close, then payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest need not
be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) with the same force and effect as if made on the
date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue
for the period after such date.

                  The Borrower shall also pay to the Trustee any and all other
sums which the Authority is obligated to pay to the Trustee under the terms and
provisions of the Indenture or the Loan Agreement.

                  This Note is subject to prepayment or redemption in the same
manner as the Bonds, and all of the terms and provisions of the Bonds pertaining
thereto are incorporated by reference herein.

on this Note may, at the option of the Trustee or Bondholders of not less than
51% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, as provided in the Loan
Agreement, become immediately due and payable in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions provided in the Loan Agreement.

                  This Note is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the
Loan Agreement, which are hereby incorporated herein, with the same effect as if
the Loan Agreement were fully set forth herein. Reference is hereby made to the
Loan Agreement, executed counterparts of which are on file with the Authority,
the Borrower and the Trustee, for a description of the security for the Note,
the rights and obligations of the Borrower and the Authority in connection with
the Project and the loan made to finance the Project, and other matters
affecting the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

                  The Borrower and any endorsers hereof severally waive
presentment, demand, protest and notice (other than notices provided for in the
Loan Agreement or as required by law).
