        1.         Perfection of Security Interest in Fixtures. Mortgagor further grants to Mortgagee a security interest, mortgage and lien on the Collateral and this Mortgage is intended to also serve as a Security Agreement. With respect to all fixtures included within the definition of the Mortgaged Property hereunder and with respect to all Personal Property which are or are to become fixtures, this Mortgage will constitute a financing statement under the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code. It is intended that as to such fixtures and the proceeds thereof, this Mortgage will be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in the real estate records of the county in which the Real Estate is located. The Real Estate affected by this Mortgage is described in Exhibit A. The owners of record of such Real Estate is Mortgagor. Information concerning the interest of Mortgagee in such fixtures may be obtained from Mortgagee at its address set forth in this Mortgage. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to execute and file (in such offices as may be necessary for the purpose) any additional financing statements as it may deem appropriate to perfect the security interest in fixtures or personal property granted herein, without Mortgagor’s signature thereon. For purposes of this fixture filing, Mortgagor is the Debtor and Mortgagee is the Secured Party.

        2.         Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Mortgagee may (at its option) without notice or demand, declare the entire balance of said indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and may forthwith commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage in any court of competent jurisdiction. And it is further agreed that, in such foreclosure action, Mortgagee will be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment, ex parte and without notice, of a receiver to take possession of the Mortgaged Property, and to receive and collect the income, rents, issues and profits thereof, and to lease the same if the same is not then under lease, and all sums received and collected by said receiver will be applied first to the payment of the costs and expenses of such receivership, next to the costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of said foreclosure action, next to the payment of unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, next to the payment of interest accrued in the indebtedness secured hereby, and finally to the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness secured hereby. The foregoing remedies will be in addition to all other remedies available to Mortgagee at law or in equity.

        3.         Effect of Waiver or Release. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy available to it hereunder will not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy for any continuing or repeated default, and will not bar Mortgagee from the exercise of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy available to it hereunder.

        4.         Notices. All notices to be given pursuant to this Mortgage will be sufficient if given by personal service, or by guaranteed overnight delivery service, or by postage prepaid mailing by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested, to the parties as set forth below, or to such other address as a party may request by notice given pursuant to this Section. Any time period provided in the giving of any notice hereunder shall commence upon the date of personal service, the day after delivery to the guaranteed overnight delivery service, or two (2) days after mailing certified or registered mail. However, any failure to give notice in accordance with the terms of this Section will not invalidate such notice if such notice was in fact in writing and actually received by the party to whom it was directed.

        5.         Collection Costs. Mortgagor will be obligated to pay any and all costs incurred in the collection of the indebtedness secured hereby and in the foreclosure of this Mortgage and the sale of the Mortgaged Property as such costs are incurred. As used herein, the term “costs incurred in collection” means all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Mortgagee in or in connection with the foreclosure of this Mortgage or the sale of the Mortgaged Property, including (without limitation) court costs, sheriff’s or marshall’s fees, fees for publication of notice, reasonable attorneys’ fees, abstracting fees, title insurance premiums, appraisal fees, surveyor’s fees, environmental assessment fees and costs incurred in remediating any contamination of the Mortgaged Property.

        6.         Valuation and Appraisement. All sums payable under this Mortgage shall be without relief from valuation and appraisement laws.

        7.         Eminent Domain. Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for the taking of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof under the power of eminent domain, shall notify Mortgagee thereof. Mortgagee may, at its option, appear in and prosecute, in its own name, any action or proceeding, or make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, and Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney for such purposes, such power being coupled with an interest. After deducting all of its expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, Mortgagee may elect, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding the fact that the security given hereby may not be impaired by a partial condemnation, to apply any part or all of the proceeds of the award, in such order as Mortgagee may determine, in reduction of the Indebtedness, whether due or not. Any application of all or a portion of the proceeds of any such award to the Indebtedness shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation, award, damages, right of action and proceeds as Mortgagee may require.

        8.         Damage or Destruction. Mortgagor will give Mortgagee prompt notice of damage to or destruction of any improvements on the Mortgaged Property or to personal property used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and in case of loss covered by policies of insurance, Mortgagee is hereby authorized to make proof of loss if not promptly made by Mortgagor or the lessees under any lease of any portion of the Mortgaged Property (“Lease” or “Leases”). Any expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the collection of insurance proceeds, together with interest thereon from the date of such expense at the highest default rate set forth in the Notes, shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee immediately upon demand. Such net proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee, upon or in reduction of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid, without a prepayment fee, or to the cost of rebuilding or restoration of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property. However, if Mortgagee shall require that the improvements on the Mortgaged Property be repaired or rebuilt, then the repair, restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property shall be to a condition of at least equal value as prior to such damage or destruction, and such net proceeds of insurance shall be made available therefor under the conditions and in the manner set forth below.

– 5 –

         So long as there exists no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and provided any loss or damage cannot, in the sole judgment of Mortgagee, result in the termination, cancellation or modification of the Leases (if any), and if the Leases so require and the insurers do not deny liability as to the insureds, such insurance proceeds, after deducting expenses incurred in collection, shall be made available under the conditions and in the manner specified in the following paragraph, for the repair, restoration, replacement or rebuilding of improvements on the Mortgaged Property to a condition of at least equal value as existed prior to such damage or destruction. Otherwise, such net proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, upon and in reduction of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid in inverse chronological order, or to the cost of rebuilding or restoration of the Mortgaged Property or personal property. However, if Mortgagee shall require that the Mortgaged Property be repaired or rebuilt in accordance with this Agreement, such net proceeds of insurance shall be made available therefor under the conditions and in the manner set forth below.

         Insurance proceeds made available for restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property shall be disbursed from time to time (provided no default exists in the or in this Agreement or in any of the Instruments or any Lease at the time of each disbursement), after first deducting the expenses of disbursement including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of title insurance, escrows and closings by the title company and fees and expenses of the disbursing party, upon the disbursing party being provided with satisfactory evidence of the cost of completion of such work and of the diligent and timely prosecution thereof and with architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements and other evidence of costs and payments so that the disbursing party can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by completed and in place work and that said work is free and clear of all mechanics’ lien claims. No payment made prior to the final completion of such restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of the disbursing party, together with funds deposited for the purpose or irrevocably committed for such purpose, shall be sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, to pay for the cost of completion of all such restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding. Mortgagee may require that plans and specifications for the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Mortgagee prior to the commencement of the work. Any surplus which may remain out of said insurance proceeds after payment of costs of building and restoration may, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied either on account of the Indebtedness then most remotely to be paid in inverse chronological order, without a prepayment fee, or be paid to any person or persons otherwise entitled thereto. Application or release of proceeds under the provisions hereof shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default. No interest shall be allowed on account of any such proceeds or other funds held in the hands of Mortgagee or the disbursing party.

– 6 –

        9.         Construction Mortgage. This Mortgage is a construction mortgage and it secures obligations incurred to finance the construction of improvements on the Property, including certain costs incurred in planning, architectural and engineering studies, zoning and similar expenses. It is understood and agreed that funds to be advanced evidenced by the Loan (West Lafayette) Note are to be used in the construction of improvements on the Property in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

        10.         Waiver of Jury Trial. MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS MORTGAGE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM. NEITHER MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY EITHER MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY BOTH OF THEM.

        11.         Miscellaneous. This Mortgage will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Mortgage and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of construction, validity and performance, will be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws of the State of Indiana. Whenever possible each provision of this Mortgage will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid upon applicable law, but if any provision of this Mortgage will be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have set their hands and affixed their seals hereunto this 29th day of October, 2002.
