At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender, without in any way waiving such default, may: 13 at the Lender's option without notice to the Mortgagor and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Note, either in person or by agent, with or without any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 559.17, Subd. 2, and Section 576.25, peaceably take possession of the Property and have, hold, manage, lease, sublease and operate the same as a mortgagee in possession; or II. without taking possession of the Property, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all rents, income and profits from the Property to which the Mortgagor would otherwise be entitled, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make from time to time all adjustments thereto, as may seem proper to the Lender. The Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any leases, sublease or rental agreements relating to the Property, and the Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any such lease, sublease or agreement or under or by reason of the assignment of the rents thereof and from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of such leases, provided that the Mortgagor shall not indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from any liability loss or damage resulting from acts or omissions of the Lender which first occur on or after the date the Lender takes possession of the Property. Should the Lender incur any liability, loss or damage by reason of this assignment of leases and rents, or in the defense of any claim or demand, the Mortgagor agrees to reimburse the Lender for the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, immediately upon demand. The Lender, or such agent or receiver, in the exercise of the rights and powers conferred upon it by this assignment of leases and rents shall have the full power to use and apply the avails, rents, issues, income and profits of the Property to which the Mortgagor would otherwise be entitled to the payment of or on account of the following in the order listed below or in the order determined by the receiver to preserve the value of the Property: I. Reasonable receiver's fees; II. Application of tenant security deposits as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 504B.178; III. Payment, when due, of prior or current real estate taxes or special assessments with respect to the Property, or the periodic escrow for the payment of the taxes or special assessments; IV. Payment, when due, of premiums for insurance of the type required by this Mortgage, or the periodic escrow for the payment of the premiums; and V. All expenses for normal maintenance of the Property; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the right to reinstate pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 580.30, or the right to redeem granted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 580.23 and 581.10. 14 Any excess cash remaining after paying the expenses listed in clauses 1. through V. above shall be applied to the payment of the Note and shall be deemed to be credited to the amount required to be paid to effect a reinstatement or redemption or, if the period of redemption ends without redemption, such remaining amounts shall be paid to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, its successors or assigns. The Mortgagor does further specifically authorize and instruct each and every present and future lessee, sublessee, tenant or subtenant of the whole or any part of the Property to pay all unpaid rental agreed upon in any lease or sublease to the Lender upon receipt of demand from the Lender so to pay the same. Any tenants, subtenants or other occupants of all or any part of the Property are hereby authorized to recognize the claims of the Lender hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by the Lender, or the validity or the amount of indebtedness owing to the Lender, or the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or the application to be made by the Lender of any amounts to be paid to the Lender. The sole signature of any officer or attorney of the Lender shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this assignment of leases and rents and the sole receipt of the Lender for any sums received by such tenants, subtenants or other occupants shall be a full discharge and release therefor. Checks for all or any part of the rentals collected under this assignment of leases and rents shall be drawn to the exclusive order of the Lender. XX. EVENTS OF DEFAULT Each of the following occurrences is an Event of Default under this Mortgage (an "Event of Default"): A. Mortgagor fails to pay within ten (10) days of when due any payment of principal and interest, payable under the Note. B. Mortgagor defaults in the performance of or breaches its agreement contained in the article titled "Transfer or Further Encumbrances of Property." C. Mortgagor fails to pay when and as due any taxes, assessments or other charges required to be paid by the article titled "Payment of Taxes, Assessments and Other Charges" except as otherwise provided therein or fails to provide the insurance coverage required by the article titled "Insurance." D. Mortgagor fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage (other than a covenant or agreement which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Article) and this failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice of the failure from Lender to Mortgagor. E. All or any part of the Property is sold, conveyed, transferred or encumbered; full possessory rights in the Property are transferred; or the controlling interest in Mortgagor is sold, conveyed, transferred or encumbered; whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law. This provision applies to each sale, transfer, conveyance or encumbrance regardless of whether or not Lender has consented or waived Lender's rights, whether by action or by omission, on any previous sale, transfer, conveyance or encumbrance. F. An event of default, however defined, occurs under the Note, or any other mortgage, assignment, or other security document which is a lien on all or any part of the Property. 15 XXL ACCELERATION; FORECLOSURE When an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at Lender's option, exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies (and any other rights and remedies available to Lender): A. Lender may, by written notice to Mortgagor, declare immediately due and payable all unmatured Indebtedness, and the Indebtedness is then immediately due and payable, without further notice or demand. B. Lender has and may exercise on all personal property and fixtures which are part of the Property all the rights and remedies given upon default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 336). If notice to Mortgagor of the intended disposition of any property is required by law in a particular instance, the notice is commercially reasonable if given to Mortgagor (in the manner specified in the article titled "Notices") at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of intended disposition. Mortgagor shall pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising these rights and remedies, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses. C. Lender may (and is authorized and empowered to) foreclose this Mortgage by action or advertisement, under the statutes of the State of Minnesota. Mortgagor expressly grants to Lender the power to: Sell the Property at public auction and convey the Property to the purchaser in fee simple; and 2. With the proceeds arising from this sale, pay all Indebtedness, with interest, all legal costs and charges of the foreclosure, and the maximum attorneys' fees permitted by law. Mortgagor agrees to pay these costs, charges and fees. XXII. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE Mortgagor shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days' prior notice by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver, without charge, to Lender or to any person designated by Lender, a statement in writing: A. Certifying that: This Mortgage is unmodified (or if there have been modifications, identifying the modifications by their date and specifying their nature); Mortgagor has not received any notice of default or notice of acceleration or foreclosure of this Mortgage (or if Mortgagor has received a notice, that it has been revoked, if that is the case); To the knowledge of Mortgagor, no Event of Default exists under this Mortgage (or if any Event of Default exists, specifying the Event of Default and stating that it has been cured, if that is the case); and Mortgagor has no claims or offsets against Lender (or if Mortgagor has any claim, specifying it); and a B. Setting forth: I . The principal amount then secured by this Mortgage and the unpaid balance of the Note; 2. The dates to which interest and the other sums and charges payable by Mortgagor under the Note have been paid; and 3. Any other information reasonably required by Lender. XXIIL FORBEARANCE NOT A WAIVER; RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE No delay by Lender in exercising any right or remedy provided in this Mortgage or otherwise afforded by law or equity is a waiver of or precludes the exercise of the right or remedy. No waiver by Lender of any particular provision of this Mortgage is effective unless in a writing signed by Lender. All the rights and remedies in this Mortgage or which Lender or the holder of the Note may otherwise have, at law or in equity, are distinct, separate and cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively in any order whatsoever, and as often as needed. A Taking action under the article titled "Condemnation" or receiving proceeds, awards or damages under the articles titled "Insurance" or "Condemnation" do not impair any right or remedy available to Lender under the article titled "Acceleration; Foreclosure." Lender may, at the option of Lender, rescind by written acknowledgment to that effect, acceleration and maturity of the Note, when claimed under this Mortgage. The tender and acceptance of partial payments on the Note does not in any way affect or rescind the acceleration of maturity of the Note, provided that acceleration is subject to Mortgagor's right of reinstatement as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 580.30. XXIV. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING Mortgagor, any party who consents to this Mortgage, and any party who now or later acquires a lien on the Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Mortgage, hereby waive any right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any remedy permitted by applicable law or provided in this Mortgage. XXV. FURTHER ASSURANCES From time to time until the Indebtedness is paid in full Mortgagor shall, at the request of Lender, promptly execute and deliver to Lender any additional instruments reasonably required to evidence the lien of this Mortgage and further protect the security interest of Lender on the Property, including but not limited to additional security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements. Any expenses incurred by Lender in preparing and recording any of these instruments, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, are additional Indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage. Unless Mortgagor and Lender agree in writing to other terms of repayment, these amounts are immediately due and payable, and bear interest from the date of disbursement at the annual rate stated in the Note. If collection of interest from Mortgagor at the annual rate stated in the Note is contrary to applicable law, these amounts bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Mortgagor under applicable law. XXVI. WAIVER OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Mortgagor understands and agrees that: 17 A. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender has the right, among other things, to foreclose this Mortgage by advertisement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 580, as now in effect or later amended, or pursuant to any later enacted similar or replacement statute. B. If Lender elects to foreclose by advertisement, Lender may cause all or any part of the Property to be sold at public auction. C. Lender must publish notice of this sale and give personal notice to the persons in possession of the Property as provided by statute. D. Mortgagor will have the period provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 580.23, or any amendment to this statute, or any later enacted similar or replacement statute, to redeem the property so sold by paying the sale price, any taxes, assessments and insurance premiums paid by the purchaser at the sale, and other sums permitted by law, together with interest from the date of sale or payment at the highest rate permitted by law. E. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender may take possession of the fixtures and personal property which is subject to the security interest granted in this Mortgage and dispose of the fixtures and personal property by sale or otherwise in one or more parcels; provided that at least ten (10) days' prior notice of the disposition is given to Mortgagor, all as provided for by the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, now in effect or later amended, or by any later enacted similar or replacement statute. F. Under the Constitution of the United States of America, Mortgagor may have the right to notice and hearing before the property may be sold. G. The procedure for foreclosure by advertisement described above does not insure that notice will be given to Mortgagor. H. Neither the procedure for foreclosure by advertisement nor the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code requires any hearing or other judicial proceeding. MORTGAGOR HEREBY RELINQUISHES, WAIVES AND GIVES UP ANY RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING BEFORE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND EXPRESSLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE PROPERTY MAY BE FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WHICH IS SUBJECT TO THE SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED IN THIS MORTGAGE MAY BE DISPOSED OF UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, ALL AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. MORTGAGOR WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT MORTGAGOR IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL, THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT THIS ARTICLE AND MORTGAGOR'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WERE FULLY EXPLAINED BY MORTGAGOR'S COUNSEL, AND THAT MORTGAGOR UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED BY THIS ARTICLE AND THE EFFECT OF THE WAIVER. XXVII. AMOUNT SECURED; PARTIAL RELEASE A. Amount Secured. The maximum principal amount of Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage at any one time, excluding advances made by Lender in protection of the Property or the lien of this Mortgage, is Two Hundred Twenty -Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000.00). B. Partial Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, and provided Mortgagor is not otherwise in default hereunder, Lender shall, upon Mortgagor's written request pursuant to 18 the Letter Agreement, release individually platted lots which are a portion of the Land, from the lien of this Mortgage for a principal payment of the Note in the amount of One Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1 12,500.00), along with any outstanding accrued interest on the Promissory Note.

PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Mortgagor shall, while this Mortgage is in full force and effect furnish Lender with the documents, instruments and papers Lender reasonably requests from time to time in order for Lender to effectuate a sale or a participation in the loan evidenced by the Note and this Mortgage. XXX. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS Foreclosure of this Mortgage does not affect or limit any right or remedy of Lender on account of any breach by Mortgagor of the terms of this Mortgage occurring prior to the foreclosure sale, except to the extent of the amount bid at the foreclosure sale. XXXI. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY This Mortgage is governed by the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota. If any provision or clause of this Mortgage conflicts with applicable law, the conflict does not affect other provisions of this Mortgage which can be given effect without the conflicting provisions. To this end, the provisions of this Mortgage are declared to be severable. XXXII. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; NUMBER; GENDER; AGENT; CAPTIONS; AMENDMENTS The covenants and agreements in this Mortgage bind, and the rights under this Mortgage are enforceable by Lender and Mortgagor and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Captions and headings of the articles and paragraphs in this Mortgage are for convenience and reference only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Mortgage.
