and defend the validity and priority of the lien hereof against the claims of
all persons and parties whomsoever.

                  SECTION 1.02. (a) Mortgagor will, at its sole cost and
expense, and without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver

time reasonably require, for the purpose of better assuring, conveying,
assigning, transferring, pledging, mortgaging, warranting and confirming unto

recording this Mortgage and, upon Mortgagee's reasonable demand, will execute
and deliver, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable
security instruments, to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the
Chattels.

                           (b)      Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration
or recording fees, all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and
other fees, taxes, duties,  imposts,  assessments  including attorney's fees and
all  other  charges  incident  to,  arising  out of or in  connection  with  the
preparation,  execution,  delivery and enforcement of the Loan  Agreement,  this
Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect
to the Chattels or any instrument of further assurance.

                  SECTION 1.03. Mortgagor will punctually pay the principal and
interest and all other sums to become due in respect of the Loan Agreement at
the time and place and in the manner specified therein, all in any coin or

                  SECTION 1.04. Mortgagor will, so long as it is owner of the
Mortgaged Property, do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force

and will comply with all regulations, rules, ordinances, statutes, orders and

                  SECTION 1.05. All right, title and interest of Mortgagor in
and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and

                                       4
<PAGE>


further grant, conveyance, assignment or other act by Mortgagor, shall become
subject to the first and senior lien and security interest of this Mortgage as
fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by Mortgagor
and specifically described in the granting clause hereof, but at any and all
times Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee any and all such further
assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof with respect thereto
as Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and
specifically subjecting the same to the lien and security interest of this

                  SECTION 1.06. (a) Mortgagor, from time to time when the same
shall become due, will pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged,
all taxes and governmental charges of every kind and nature that may at any time
be assessed or levied against or with respect to the indebtedness secured by,
and any other amounts payable pursuant to, this Mortgage, or any part of such
indebtedness or amounts, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, real and personal property
taxes and income, franchise, withholding, profits and gross receipts taxes, all
general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees,
all water and sewer rents and charges, and all other public or governmental
charges whether of a like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed or
levied against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or
interest therein or upon the revenues, rents, issues, income and profits of the
Mortgaged Property or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession
thereof (unless such taxes and charges are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings with appropriate court or regulatory agency). Mortgagor
will, upon the request of Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee receipts evidencing
the payment, before any penalties accrued thereon, of all such taxes,
assessments, levies, fees, rents and other public charges imposed upon or
assessed against it, this Mortgage, or the Mortgaged Property or the revenues,
rents, issues, income or profits thereof.

                           (b)      Mortgagee may, at its option, to be
exercised by ten (10) days prior written notice to Mortgagor (unless such notice
is given at the time of the execution of this Mortgage),  require the deposit by
Mortgagor,  at the time that the payment of each regular installment of interest
and/or  principal  is  required  to be paid  pursuant  to the  terms of the Loan
Agreement  of an  additional  amount  sufficient  to (i)  discharge  Mortgagor's
obligations under subsection (a) hereof,  and (ii) pay for premiums of insurance
required to be maintained by Mortgagor  pursuant to the Loan Agreement on a date
which is thirty (30) days prior to the respective dates on which the same or any
of them would be payable.  The determination of the amount so payable and of the
fractional part thereof to be deposited with Mortgagee, so that the aggregate of
the deposits shall be sufficient for this purpose, shall be made by Mortgagee in
its sole  discretion.  Such amounts shall be held by Mortgagee  without interest
and  applied to the payment of the items in respect to which such  amounts  were
deposited or, at the option of  Mortgagee,  to the payment of said items in such
order or priority as  Mortgagee  shall  determine,  on or before the  respective
dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent. All such amounts
so  deposited  shall not be deemed to be held by  Mortgagee in escrow and may be
commingled with the funds of Mortgagee and applied pursuant  hereto.  If one (1)
month  prior to the due date of the  aforementioned  amounts  the amount then on

                                       5
<PAGE>

deposit  therefor  shall be  insufficient  for the payment of such item in full,
Mortgagor  within ten (10) days after  demand  shall  deposit  the amount of the
deficiency with Mortgagee.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event  of  Default,  Mortgagee  shall be  entitled  to  apply  all sums  held by
Mortgagee  pursuant to this Section to the payment of the  indebtedness  secured
hereby,  in such order as Mortgagee shall elect.  Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to affect any right or remedy of  Mortgagee  under any  provisions  of
this  Mortgage  or of any  statute or rule or law to pay any such  amount to the
extent the sums deposited by Mortgagor are not sufficient therefor.

                           (c)      Mortgagor will pay from time to time when
the same  shall  become  due,  all  lawful  claims  and  demands  of  mechanics,
materialmen,  laborers,  and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit
the creation of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or on the
revenues,  rents,  issues,  income and profits arising  therefrom and in general
will do or cause to be done  everything  necessary so that the lien and security
interest  hereof shall be fully  preserved,  at the cost of  Mortgagor,  without
expense to Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 1.07. In the event of the passage, after the date of
this Mortgage, of any law of the State of Kansas deducting from the value of the
Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxing the amount of any lien thereon, or
changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages, or
debts secured thereby, for state or local purposes, or the manner of operation
of any such taxes so as to adversely affect the interest of Mortgagee, then and
in such event, Mortgagor shall bear and pay the full amount of such taxes,
provided that if for any reason payment by Mortgagor of any such new or
additional taxes would be unlawful or if the payment thereof would constitute
usury or render the Loan Agreement or the indebtedness secured hereby wholly or
partially usurious under any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Agreement,
this Mortgage, or otherwise, Mortgagee may, at its option, upon thirty (30)
days' written notice to Mortgagor, (i) declare the whole indebtedness secured by
this Mortgage, with interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable, or (ii)
pay that amount or portion of such taxes as renders the Loan Agreement or the
indebtedness secured hereby unlawful or usurious, in which event Mortgagor shall
concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful non-usurious portion or balance
of said taxes.

                  SECTION 1.08. In addition to restrictions contained in the
Loan Agreement, Mortgagor will not further encumber, sell, convey or transfer
any interest in, or any part of, the Mortgaged Property, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee. Any such encumbrance, sale, conveyance or transfer
made without Mortgagee's prior written consent shall be an Event of Default
hereunder. At Mortgagee's option, Mortgagee's consent to a further encumbrance
or transfer shall be subject to an increase in interest rate, modification of
loan terms and/or the payment of a fee.

                  SECTION 1.09. Mortgagee shall have access to and the right to
inspect the Premises and Chattels at all reasonable business hours, except in
emergencies, Mortgagee shall have such access at any time.

                                       6
<PAGE>


                  SECTION 1.10. Mortgagor shall comply in all material respects,
with all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning and subdivision ordinances and
building codes, all health and environmental laws and regulations and all other
applicable laws, rules, regulations, requirements, directions, orders and
notices of violations issued by any governmental agency, body or officer
relating to or affecting the Premises or the business or activity being
conducted thereon whether by Mortgagor or by any occupant thereof.

                  SECTION 1.11. If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the
covenants contained herein on its part to be performed, Mortgagee may, but shall
not be required to, make advances to perform the same, or cause the same to be
performed, on Mortgagor's behalf, and all sums so advanced shall bear interest,
from and after the date advanced until repaid, at the lower of (i) the maximum
rate permitted by law or (ii) the default rate set forth in the Loan Agreement,
shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and shall, at Mortgagee's option, be
added to the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagor will repay on demand all
sums so advanced on its behalf with interest at the rate herein set forth. This
Section 1.11 shall not be construed as preventing any default by Mortgagor in
the observance of any covenant contained in this Mortgage from constituting an
Event of Default hereunder.

                  SECTION 1.12. Mortgagor will not commit any waste at or with
respect to the Mortgaged Property nor will Mortgagor do or fail to do anything
which will in any way increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Premises,
Improvements or Chattels or to any part thereof. Mortgagor will, at all times,
maintain the Improvements and Chattels in good order and condition (ordinary
wear and tear excepted)and will promptly make, from time to time, all repairs,
renewals, replacements, additions and improvements in connection therewith which
are needful or desirable to such end. Improvements shall not be removed,
demolished or materially altered, nor shall any Chattels be removed without the
prior written consent of Mortgagee, provided, however, that if there shall not
have occurred an Event of Default, Mortgagor may make appropriate replacements
of Chattels, free of superior title, liens and claims, provided such
replacements are immediately made and are of a value at least equal to the value
of the Chattels removed.

                  SECTION 1.13. Mortgagor will immediately notify Mortgagee of
the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or taking by eminent
domain of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof. Mortgagee may
participate in any such proceeding and Mortgagor from time to time will deliver
to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. In
the event of such condemnation proceedings, or a conveyance in lieu of such
taking, the award or compensation payable is hereby assigned to and shall be
paid to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to question the amount
of any such award or compensation and may accept the same in the amount in which
the same shall be paid, but shall have no right to bind Mortgagor or to make
settlement of its claim, except to the extent of the interest of Mortgagee. In
any such condemnation proceedings Mortgagee may be represented by counsel
selected by Mortgagee. The proceeds of any award or compensation so received
after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with
such proceedings, shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied, without
premium, to the repayment of the Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement)


                                       7
<PAGE>

in such order as Mortgagee may in its sole discretion elect (regardless of
interest payable on the award by the condemning authority), or to the cost of
restoration of the Improvement or Chattel so taken and other terms as shall be
satisfactory to Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 1.14. (a) As part of the consideration for the
Obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement),
Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to
Mortgagee all the rents and revenues of the Mortgaged Property, including those
now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement
for the occupancy or use of or profits from all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Mortgaged Property
are payable. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee or Mortgagee's agents to
collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the
Mortgaged Property to pay such rents and revenues to Mortgagee or Mortgagee's
agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Mortgagee to
Mortgagor of the occurrence of an Event of Default and Mortgagee's intent to
exercise its rights to such rents and revenues (the "Default Notice"), Mortgagor
shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Mortgaged Property and
Mortgagor shall apply the rents and revenues so collected to the amounts then
due and payable in connection with this Mortgage with the balance, so long as no
unrescinded Default Notice has been delivered, to the account of Mortgagor, it
being intended by Mortgagor and Mortgagee that this assignment of rents
constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security
only.

                           (b)      Upon delivery of the Default Notice by
Mortgagee to Mortgagor, and without the necessity of Mortgagee entering upon and
taking and  maintaining  full control of the  Mortgaged  Property in person,  by
agent or by a court-appointed receiver,  Mortgagee shall immediately be entitled
to receive all rents and revenues of the Mortgaged Property as specified in this
Section  1.14 as the same become due and payable,  including  but not limited to
rents  then due and  unpaid,  and all  such  rents  then  held by  Mortgagor  or
thereafter  delivered  to  Mortgagor  shall,  immediately  upon  delivery of the
Default  Notice,  be held by  Mortgagor  as trustee for the benefit of Mortgagee
only. Mortgagor agrees that commencing upon delivery of the Default Notice, each
tenant of the Mortgaged  Property shall make such rents payable to and shall pay
such rents  directly to Mortgagee or Mortgagee's  agents on Mortgagee's  written
demand to each tenant therefor,  delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or
by 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 Mortgagor.
Mortgagor shall execute any and all writings and letters reasonably  required by
Mortgagee,  to be delivered to such tenants,  to  effectuate  the intent of this
Section 1.14.

                           (c)      Mortgagor hereby represents, warrants and
covenants  that  Mortgagor has not executed any prior  assignment of said rents,
that  Mortgagor  has not  performed,  and will not perform,  any acts or has not
executed,  and will not execute,  any instrument  which would prevent  Mortgagee
from  exercising  its rights under this Section 1.14 or which would give rise to
any right of set-off  against,  or  reduction  of, the rents  payable  under the
leases,  and that at the time of  execution of this  Mortgage  there has been no

                                       9
<PAGE>

anticipation  or prepayment  of any of the rents of the  Mortgaged  Property for
more than one month  prior to the due dates of such rents.  Mortgagor  covenants
that Mortgagor will not hereafter  collect or accept payment of any rents of the
Mortgaged  Property  more than one month  prior to the due dates of such  rents.
Mortgagor further covenants that Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee
such  further  assignments  of rents and revenues of the  Mortgaged  Property as
Mortgagee may from time to time request.

                           (d)      Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, in
person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of
Mortgagee's  security,  enter  upon and take  possession  of and  maintain  full
control of the  Mortgaged  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  Mortgaged  Property,  the  making of repairs to the
Mortgaged  Property and the execution or termination of contracts  providing for
the management or maintenance  of the Mortgaged  Property;  all on such terms as
are  deemed  best to  protect  the  security  of this  instrument.  In the event
Mortgagee  elects  to seek  the  appointment  of a  receiver  for the  Mortgaged
Property upon an Event of Default,  Mortgagor hereby  expressly  consents to the
appointment  of  such  receiver  upon  ex  parte  applications  without  notice.
Mortgagee or the receiver  shall be entitled to receive a reasonable  fee for so
managing the Mortgaged Property.  Nothing contained herein nor any collection of
rents, payments or other sums by Mortgagee, or by a receiver, shall be construed
to make Mortgagee a "mortgagee-in-possession"  of the Mortgaged Property so long
as Mortgagee  has not itself  entered into actual  possession  of the  Mortgaged
Property.

                           (e)      All rents and revenues collected by
Mortgagee subsequent to delivery of the Default Notice by Mortgagee to Mortgagor
shall be applied first to the reasonable costs, if any, of taking control of and
managing the Mortgaged  Property and  collecting the rents,  including,  but not
limited to, reasonable  attorneys' fees,  receiver's fees, premiums on insurance
policies,  taxes,  assessments and other charges on the Mortgaged Property,  and
the costs of  discharging  any obligation or liability of Mortgagor as lessor or
landlord  of the  Mortgaged  Property  and  then  to the  sums  secured  by this
Mortgage.  Mortgagee or the receiver  shall have access to the books and records
used in the operation  and  maintenance  of the Mortgaged  Property and shall be
liable to  account  to  Mortgagor  only for those  rents and  revenues  actually
received.  Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor,  anyone claiming under or
through  Mortgagor  or anyone  having an interest in the  Mortgaged  Property by
reason of anything done or left undone by Mortgagee under this Section 1.14.

                           (f)      If the rents of the Mortgaged Property 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 Mortgagee for
such purposes shall become Obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee secured by this
Mortgage.  Unless  Mortgagee  and  Mortgagor  agree in writing to other terms of
payment,  such amounts shall be payable upon notice from  Mortgagee to Mortgagor
requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement
until paid, at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of interest.

<PAGE>

                           (g)      Any entering upon and taking and maintaining
of control of the  Mortgaged  Property by  Mortgagee  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 Mortgagee under  applicable
law or provided herein. This assignment of rents of the Mortgaged Property shall
terminate at such time as the Obligations secured by this instrument are paid in
full.

                  SECTION 1.15. (a) Mortgagor will not (i) execute an assignment
of the rents or any part thereof from the Mortgaged Property unless such
assignment shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to the assignment
contained in this Mortgage, and any additional or subsequent assignment executed
pursuant hereto, or (ii) except where the lessee is in default thereunder,
terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any lease of the
Mortgaged Property or of any part thereof, now existing or hereafter to be made
or (iii) modify any such lease or give consent to any assignment or subletting
without Mortgagee's prior written consent, or (iv) accept prepayments of any
installments of rent or additional rent to become due under such leases, except
prepayments in the nature of security for the performance of the lessee's
obligations thereunder, or (v) in any other manner impair the value of the
Mortgaged Property or the security of Mortgagee for the payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby, or (vii) enter into any lease prohibited under the
provisions of the Loan Agreement.

                           (b)      Mortgagor will not execute any lease of all
or a substantial  portion of the Mortgaged  Property except for actual occupancy
by the lessee thereunder, and will at all times promptly and faithfully perform,
or  cause to be  performed,  all of the  covenants,  conditions  and  agreements
contained in all leases of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter existing,  on
the part of the lessor  thereunder to be kept and  performed.  If any such lease
provides for the giving by the lessee of certificates with respect to the status
of such leases,  Mortgagor shall exercise its right to request such certificates
within five (5) days of any demand therefor by Mortgagee.

                           (c)      Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within
fifteen  (15) days after a request by  Mortgagee  to do so, a written  statement
containing  the names of all lessees for the  Mortgaged  Property,  the terms of
their respective leases, the spaces occupied,  the rentals paid and any security
therefor.

                           (d)      In addition to the assignment granted in
Section  1.14,  Mortgagor  shall,  from time to time upon request of  Mortgagee,
specifically  assign  to  Mortgagee  as  additional  security  hereunder,  by an
instrument in writing in such form as may be  reasonably  approved by Mortgagee,
all right,  title and  interest of Mortgagor in and to any and all leases now or
hereafter on or affecting  the  Mortgaged  Property,  together with all security
therefor  and  all  monies  payable  thereunder,   subject  to  the  conditional
permission  hereinabove given to Mortgagor to collect the rentals under any such
lease.  Mortgagor shall also execute and deliver to Mortgagee any  notification,
financing  statement  or other  document  reasonably  required by  Mortgagee  to
perfect the foregoing assignment or the assignment granted in Section 1.14 as to
any such lease.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 1.16. Each lease of the Mortgaged Property or of any
part thereof entered into after the date hereof shall provide that, in the event
of the enforcement by Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this
Mortgage, any person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor as a result of such
enforcement shall not be bound by any payment of rent or additional rent for
more than one (1) month in advance, provided, however, that nothing herein set
forth shall affect or impair the rights of Mortgagee to terminate any one or
more of such leases in connection with the exercise of Mortgagee's remedies
hereunder.

                  SECTION 1.17. Mortgagor shall not use Mortgagee's name or the
name of any person, firm, corporation or other entity controlling, controlled by
or under common control with Mortgagee in connection with any of Mortgagor's
activities, except as such use may be required by applicable law or regulation
of any governmental body.


                                   ARTICLE II

                         EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

                  SECTION 2.01. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default")
hereunder:

                           (a)      If Mortgagor shall default in the payment of
(i) any regular  installment of interest  and/or  principal as and when the same
shall have become due and payable under the terms of the Loan Agreement, or (ii)
any other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor  pursuant to the Loan  Agreement
or this Mortgage on the date that such  payments are therein or herein  required
to be made; or

                           (b)      If Mortgagor shall breach, or be in default
of, any of the  covenants or  provisions  contained  in this  Mortgage or of any
chattel mortgage,  other mortgages,  security agreement or other document issued
thereunder or in connection  therewith or herewith and such breach or default is
not cured within the applicable cure periods; or

                           (c) If there shall be an "Event of Default" under the
Loan  Agreement.

                  Upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of
Default, and in every such case:

                  I. Mortgagee, at its option, may declare the entire unpaid
balance of the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable,
and upon any such declaration the entire indebtedness secured hereby shall
become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Agreement or in
this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding;

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  II. Mortgagee personally, or by its agents or attorneys may
enter into and upon all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and each and
every part thereof, and may exclude the party owning the possessory interest in
same, its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and having and holding the same,
may use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property for any lawful
purpose and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its
superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers; and upon
every such entry, Mortgagee, at the expense of Mortgagor, from time to time,
either by purchase, repairs or construction, may maintain and restore the
Mortgaged Property, whereof it shall become possessed as aforesaid, may complete
the construction of any Improvements and in the course of such completion may
make such changes in the contemplated Improvements as it may deem desirable; may
insure or reinsure the same as provided in the Loan Agreement and likewise, from
time to time, at the expense of Mortgagor, Mortgagee may make all necessary or
proper repairs, renewals, replacements, restorations, alterations, additions,
betterments and improvements to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and
thereon as it may deem advisable; and in every such case Mortgagee shall have
the right to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property, possessed as aforesaid,
and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the
party owning such property with respect thereto either in the name of such party
or otherwise as it shall deem best; and Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect
and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the
Mortgaged Property and every part thereof; and after deducting the expenses of
conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and all payments which may
be made for taxes, assessments, insurance, in payment of any prior mortgage and
prior or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof,
as well as just and reasonable compensation of Mortgagee for the services of
Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks, servants and other
employees by it properly engaged and employed, Mortgagee shall apply the moneys
arising as aforesaid, first to the payment of any sums, other than interest and
principal on the Loan Agreement required to be paid by Mortgagor under this
Mortgage, second, to the payment of interest on the Loan Agreement, third, to
the payment of the principal of the Loan Agreement when and as the same shall
become payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and finally, an amount
equal to the early termination fee due and payable under Section 4.2 of the Loan
Agreement.

            III.  Mortgagee, with or without entry, personally or by its agents
or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may:

                           (1)      sell the Mortgaged Property to the extent
permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by law, and all estate, right,
title and interest,  claim and demand therein,  and right of redemption thereof,
at one or more sales as a single parcel or as more than one parcel, at such time
and place,  upon such terms,  and in such order and after such notice thereof as
may be required or permitted by law; or

                           (2)      institute proceedings for the complete or
partial foreclosure of this Mortgage; or

                                       13
<PAGE>

                           (3)      take such steps to protect and enforce its
rights or enforce its remedies,  whether by action, suit or proceeding at law or
in equity,  whether for damages or for the specific performance of any covenant,
condition or agreement in the Loan Agreement or in this  Mortgage,  or in aid of
the execution of any power herein granted or for any foreclosure  hereunder,  or
for the  enforcement  of any  other  appropriate  legal or  equitable  remedy or
otherwise as Mortgagee shall elect.

                  IV. On and after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Mortgagor shall pay all rents, issues and profits thereafter received by
Mortgagor from the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee and to the extent not paid
shall hold such amounts as trust funds for the benefit of Mortgagee and such
rents, issues and profits shall be deemed "cash collateral" of Mortgagee under
11 U.S.C., as amended.

                  SECTION 2.02. (a) Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time, as
permitted by law, any sale to be made by it under or by virtue of this Mortgage
by announcement at any time and place appointed for such sale or for such
adjourned sale or sales; and Mortgagee, without further notice or publication,
except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, may make such
sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

                  (b) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Mortgagee
under or by virtue of this Mortgage, 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 deed and such other instrument, or instruments,
as may be necessary to convey, assign and transfer all estate, right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgaged Property and rights sold, but without any
covenant or warranty, express or implied, and without any representation,
express or implied, as to the existence, or lack thereof, of Hazardous
Substances on the Mortgaged Property. 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. Nevertheless, Mortgagor if so requested by Mortgagee shall
ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to
Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be
advisable, in the judgment of Mortgagee, for the purpose, and as may be
designated in such request. The receipt of Mortgagee of the Loan Documents, or
of the court officer conducting any such sale, for the purchase money paid at
any such sale shall be a sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, sold as aforesaid; and no such
purchaser or his representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such
purchase money and receiving such a receipt, shall be bound to see to the
application of such purchase money upon or for the purpose of this Mortgage or
the Loan Agreement, or shall be answerable in any manner whatsoever for any
loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase money or any part
thereof, nor shall any such purchaser be bound to inquire as to the necessity or
expediency of any such sale. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of
this Mortgage (whether made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a


                                       14
<PAGE>

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 Mortgaged Property 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.

                  (c) The purchase money proceeds or avails of any sale made
under or by virtue of this Mortgage, together with any other sums which then may
be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage, shall be applied as follows:

                           First: To the payment of the reasonable costs and
         expenses of such sale, and costs of title evidence and reasonable
         compensation to Mortgagee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of
         any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all
         expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Mortgagee under
         this Mortgage (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and costs
         incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage,
         including, but not limited to, such fees and costs incurred pursuant to
         11 U.S.C.), together with interest at the default rate set forth in the
         Loan Agreement, on all advances made by Mortgagee and all taxes or
         assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to
         which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold.

                           Second: To the payment of interest on the Loan
         Agreement, including interest at the default rate set forth in the Loan
         Agreement from and after the happening of any Event of Default until
         the same is paid.

                           Third: To the payment of the principal and interest
         on the Loan Agreement then remaining unpaid together with an amount
         which would have been equal to the early termination fee which would
         have been paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 4.2 of the
         Loan Agreement.

                           Fourth: To the payment to Mortgagee in an amount
         sufficient, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of
         Mortgagee, acting in good faith, to satisfy actual or contingent sums
         owing pursuant to the Loan Agreement ("Impound Sum"), and, if not
         actually incurred, to be held by Mortgagee (not in trust, without the
         accrual of interest thereon and without the obligation to segregate
         such funds) for a period of seven (7) years from the date of
         foreclosure, thereafter to be returned to the person or persons legally
         entitled thereto, upon satisfactory proof of such right.

                           Fifth: LASTLY, the balance or surplus, if any, of
         such proceeds of sale to the person or persons legally entitled
         thereto, upon satisfactory proof of such right.

                  (d) In the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, and the execution of a deed or deeds therefor, the recitals
therein of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof and of the fact that said sale was regularly and validly made in
accordance with all requirements of the laws of the State of Kansas and of this


                                       15
<PAGE>

Mortgage; and any such deed or deeds, with such recitals therein, shall be
effectual and conclusive against Mortgagor and all other persons; and the
receipt for the purchase money recited or contained in any deed executed to the
purchaser as aforesaid shall be sufficient discharge to such purchaser from all
obligations to see to the proper application of the purchase money according to
the trusts aforesaid.

                  (e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Mortgage,
whether made 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 indebtedness secured hereby, the net
sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of
the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this
Mortgage. Mortgagee, upon so acquiring the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, shall be entitled to hold, lease, rent, operate, manage and sell the
same in any manner provided by applicable laws.

                  (f) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this
Mortgage (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or
decree of foreclosure and sale), the indebtedness secured hereby if not
previously due and payable, and all other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor
pursuant to this Mortgage, immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan
Agreement or in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and
payable.

                  SECTION 2.03. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default then, upon written demand of Mortgagee,
Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee the entire indebtedness secured hereby, and
after the happening of said Event of Default will also pay to Mortgagee interest
at the default rate set forth in the Loan Agreement, and also pay all other sums
required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, and
in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection incurred by Mortgagee hereunder including
reasonable compensation to Mortgagee, its agents, attorneys and counsel
(including, but not limited to, fees and costs pursuant to 11 U.S.C.). In the
event Mortgagor shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand,
Mortgagee, in its own name, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any
action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the amounts so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against
Mortgagor and collect, out of the property of Mortgagor wherever situated, as
well as out of the Mortgaged Property, in the manner provided by law, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

                  (b) Mortgagee shall, if permitted by law, be entitled to
recover judgment as aforesaid either before or after or during the pendency of
any proceedings for the foreclosure of the lien and provisions of this Mortgage.
The right of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any
entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy
for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of
the lien hereof. In the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, and of the
application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the indebtedness secured


                                       16
<PAGE>

hereby, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive the
entire indebtedness secured hereby and to enforce payment of all charges,
payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and shall be entitled to recover
judgment for any sums due under the Loan Agreement or this Mortgage remaining
unpaid, with interest at the default rate set forth in the Loan Agreement. In
case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or liquidation of
assets or for the reorganization of Mortgagor under the Federal bankruptcy laws
or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or mortgagee shall have been
appointed for the property of Mortgagor or in case of any other similar judicial
proceedings relative to Mortgagor, or to the creditors or property of Mortgagor,
Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to prove against Mortgagor the whole
amount of the indebtedness secured hereby to the full amount thereof, and all
other payments, charges and costs due under this Mortgage, without deducting
therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that in no event shall Mortgagee receive
from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property
and the distribution from the estate of Mortgagor an amount greater than the
entire amount secured hereby and such other payments, charges and costs.

                  (c) 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.

                  (d) Any moneys thus collected by Mortgagee under this Section
2.03 shall be applied by Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 2.02(c).

                  SECTION 2.04. After the occurrence of any Event of Default by
Mortgagor under this Mortgage and immediately upon the commencement of any
action, suit or other legal proceeding by Mortgagee to obtain judgment for the
indebtedness secured hereby and other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor
pursuant to any provisions of this Mortgage, or of any other nature in aid of
the enforcement of the Loan Agreement or this Mortgage, Mortgagor waives trial
by jury and will enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or
proceeding. Further, Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver
or receivers of the Mortgaged Property and of all the earnings, revenues, rents,
issues, profits and income thereof. After the occurrence of any Event of Default
or upon the commencement of any proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or to
enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof or upon the
commencement of any other judicial proceeding to enforce any right of Mortgagee
hereunder, Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, if it shall so
elect, without the giving of notice to any other party and without regard to the
adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured hereby,
forthwith either before or after declaring the entire indebtedness secured
hereby to be due and payable:

                           (i)      To the appointment of such a receiver or
receivers.  Such  receiver,  or  Mortgagee  or its  employees,  may enter  upon,


                                       17
<PAGE>

possess,  manage, operate,  dispose of, and contract to dispose of the Mortgaged
Property or any part  thereof;  take  custody of all  accounts;  negotiate  with
governmental  authorities with respect to the Mortgaged Property's environmental
compliance  and  remedial  measures;   take  any  action  necessary  to  enforce
compliance  with any Act,  including but not limited to spending  rents to abate
the problem; make, terminate, enforce or modify leases of the Mortgaged Property
upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee deems proper; contract for goods and
services, hire agents,  employees, and counsel, make repairs,  alterations,  and
improvements to the Mortgaged Property necessary,  in Mortgagee's  judgment,  to
protect  or  enhance  the  security  hereof;  incur the  risks  and  obligations
ordinarily  incurred by owners of property  (without any personal  obligation on
the part of the  receiver);  and/or take any and all other  actions which may be
necessary or  desirable to comply with  Mortgagor's  obligations  hereunder  and
under  the  Loan   Agreement.   All  sums  realized  by  Mortgagee   under  this
subparagraph,   less  all  costs  and   expenses   incurred  by  it  under  this
subparagraph,  including  attorneys' fees, and less such sums as Mortgagee deems
appropriate as a reserve to meet future expenses under the  subparagraph,  shall
be applied on any  indebtedness  secured hereby in such order as Mortgagee shall
determine. Neither application of said sums to said indebtedness,  nor any other
action taken by Mortgagee under this subparagraph  shall cure or waive any Event
of  Default or notice of default  hereunder,  or nullify  the effect of any such
notice of  default.  Mortgagee,  or any  employee  or agent of  Mortgagee,  or a
receiver may take any action or proceeding  hereunder  without regard to (a) the
adequacy  of the  security  for  the  indebtedness  secured  hereunder,  (b) the
existence  of a  declaration  that  the  indebtedness  secured  hereby  has been
declared  immediately due and payable,  or (c) the filing or serving of a notice
of default.

                      (ii) With or without notice, and without releasing
Mortgagor from any obligation  hereunder,  to cure any default of Mortgagor and,
in  connection  therewith,  Mortgagee  or its agents,  acting by  themselves  or
through a receiver,  may enter upon the  Mortgaged  Property or any part thereof
and perform  such acts and things as Mortgagee  deems  necessary or desirable to
inspect, investigate, assess, and protect the security hereof, including without
limitation  of any of its other  rights:  (a) to obtain a court order to enforce
Mortgagee's  right to enter and  inspect  the  Mortgaged  Property  to which the
decision of Mortgagee as to whether there exists a release or threatened release
of a Hazardous Substances onto the Mortgaged Property shall be deemed reasonable
and  conclusive  as  between  the  parties  hereto;  and (b) to have a  receiver
appointed  to  enforce  Mortgagee's  right to enter and  inspect  the  Mortgaged
Property for Hazardous Substances.  All costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee
with respect to the audits, tests, inspections, and examinations which Mortgagee
or its agents or employees  may conduct,  including  the fees of the  engineers,
laboratories,   contractors,  consultants,  and  attorneys,  shall  be  paid  by
Mortgagor.  All  costs and  expenses  incurred  by  Mortgagee  pursuant  to this
subparagraph  (including  without  limitation  court costs,  consultant fees and
attorneys'  fees,  whether  incurred in litigation or not and whether  before or
after  judgment)  shall bear  interest at the default rate set forth in the Loan
Agreement from the date they are incurred until said sums have been paid.

                     (iii) To seek a judgment that Mortgagor has breached its
covenants,  representations  and/or warranties with respect to the environmental


                                       18
<PAGE>

matters set forth in the Loan Agreement by commencing and  maintaining an action
or  actions  in any court of  competent  jurisdiction  for  breach of  contract,
whether commenced prior to or after foreclosure of the Mortgaged  Property,  and
to seek the recovery of any and all costs, damages,  expenses,  fees, penalties,
fines,  judgments,   indemnification   payments  to  third  parties,  and  other
out-of-pocket  costs or expenses actually  incurred by Mortgagee  (collectively,
the  "Environmental  Costs")  incurred or advanced by Mortgagee  relating to the
Remediation or other response  action  required by any Act or to which Mortgagee
believes  necessary to protect the  Mortgaged  Property,  it being  conclusively
presumed  between  Mortgagee and  Mortgagor  that all such  Environmental  Costs
incurred or advanced by Mortgagee relating to the Remediation, or other response
action of or to the Mortgaged Property were made by Mortgagee in good faith. All
Environmental  Costs incurred by Mortgagee  under this  subparagraph  (including
without limitation court costs,  consultant fees and attorneys' fees, including,
without  limitation,  fees incurred  pursuant to 11 U.S.C.,  whether incurred in
litigation or not and whether before or after  judgment)  shall bear interest at
the default rate set forth in the Loan  Agreement  from the date of  expenditure
until said sums have been paid.  Mortgagee shall be entitled to bid, at the sale
of the Mortgaged  Property,  the amount of said costs,  expenses and interest in
addition to the amount of the other obligations  hereby secured as a credit bid,
the equivalent of cash.

                                Mortgagor  acknowledges  and agrees that
notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Loan Documents,
the  Environmental  Costs shall be exceptions to any  nonrecourse or exculpatory
provision  contained  herein or in the Loan  Documents,  and Mortgagor  shall be
fully and personally  liable for the  Environmental  Costs  hereunder,  and such
liability  shall  not  be  limited  to  the  original  principal  amount  of the
obligations secured by this Mortgage, and Mortgagor's  obligations shall survive
the  foreclosure,  deed in lieu of foreclosure,  release,  reconveyance,  or any
other transfer of the Mortgaged  Property or this Mortgage.  For the purposes of
any action brought under this subparagraph,  Mortgagor hereby waives the defense
of laches and any applicable statute of limitations.

                     (iv)  To waive its lien against the Mortgaged Property or
any portion thereof,  whether fixtures or personal property,  to the extent such
property is found to be  environmentally  impaired  and to exercise  any and all
rights and  remedies  of an  unsecured  creditor  against  Mortgagor  and all of
Mortgagor's  assets  and  property  for  the  recovery  of  any  deficiency  and
Environmental Costs, including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order.
As between  Mortgagee and Mortgagor,  Mortgagor shall have the burden of proving
that  Mortgagor or any related  party (or any affiliate or agent of Mortgagor or
any related  party) was not in any way  negligent in  permitting  the release or
threatened  release of the  Hazardous  Substances.  Mortgagor  acknowledges  and
agrees that  notwithstanding  any term or provision  contained  herein or in the
Loan  Documents,  all judgments and awards entered  against  Mortgagor  shall be
exceptions to any nonrecourse or exculpatory  provision of the Loan Documents or
contained  herein,  and Mortgagor  shall be fully and personally  liable for all
judgments and awards  entered  against  Mortgagor  hereunder and such  liability
shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured
by this Mortgage and Mortgagor's obligations shall survive the foreclosure, deed
in lieu of  foreclosure,  release,  reconveyance,  or any other  transfer of the
Mortgaged  Property or this  Mortgage.  For the  purposes of any action  brought


                                       19
<PAGE>

under this  subparagraph,  Mortgagor hereby waives the defense of laches and any
applicable statute of limitations.

                           (v)      Nothing contained herein shall be construed
to limit any and all rights that Mortgagee has at law or pursuant hereto.

                  SECTION 2.05. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies,
but each and every such remedy 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. No delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right or
power occurring upon the Event of Default shall impair any such right or power
or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; and
every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Mortgagee may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. Nothing in
this Mortgage or in the Loan Agreement shall affect the obligation of Mortgagor
to pay the principal of, interest on, early termination fee and all sums due
under the Loan Agreement in the manner and at the time and place therein
respectively expressed.

                  SECTION 2.06. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor will
not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take
any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension or moratorium law, any
exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants and terms of performance of this Mortgage; nor claim, take or insist
upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for
Homestead, Exemption and Stays Laws of the State of Kansas, or for the
marshalling of the Mortgaged Property or on the valuation or appraisal of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior or subsequent to any sale or
sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein, or pursuant to
the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after
any such final sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute or
otherwise, to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof; and Mortgagor
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and
covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of
every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. Mortgagor
hereby waives the right to require any sale to be made in parcels, or the right
to select parcels to be so sold, and there shall be no requirement for
marshalling of assets. Mortgagor hereby further waives any rights it may have
under applicable law relating to the prohibition of the obtaining of or
limitations on a deficiency judgment by Mortgagee against Mortgagor.

                  SECTION 2.07. During the continuance of any Event of Default
and pending the exercise by Mortgagee of its right to exclude Mortgagor from all
or any part of the Premises, Mortgagor agrees to pay the fair and reasonable
rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property for such period
and upon default of any such payment, will vacate and surrender possession of
the Premises to Mortgagee or to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may
be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery or possession of
Premises for non-payment of rent, however designated.

                                       20
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 2.08. Without affecting the personal liability of any
person, firm, corporation, or other entity, including Mortgagor (other than any
person released pursuant hereto), for the payment of the indebtedness secured
hereby, and without affecting the lien of this Mortgage for the full amount of
the indebtedness remaining unpaid upon any property not reconveyed pursuant
hereto, Mortgagee is authorized and empowered as follows: Mortgagee may, at any
time and from time to time, either before or after the expiration of the Loan
Agreement and without notice: (a) release any person liable for the payment of
any of the indebtedness, (b) make any agreement extending the time or otherwise
altering the terms of payment of any of the indebtedness, (c) accept additional
security therefor of any kind, (d) release any property, real or personal,
securing the indebtedness. Mortgagee may, without liability therefor and without
notice, at any time and from time to time so long as the lien or charge hereof
shall subsist: (a) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Land, (b)
join in granting any easement thereon or in creating any covenants restricting
use or occupancy thereof, (c) reconvey, without warranty, any part of the
Mortgaged Property, (d) join in any extension agreement or in any agreement
subordinating the lien or charge hereof.

                  SECTION 2.09. This Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement
under the laws of the State of Kansas so that Mortgagee shall have and may
endorse a security interest in any or all of the Mortgaged Property which may or
might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or
property other than real estate (collectively, "Personal Property") and
Mortgagor agrees to execute, as debtor, such financing statement or statements
as Mortgagee may now or hereafter reasonably request in order that such security
interest or interests may be perfected pursuant to such laws. This Mortgage
further constitutes a fixture filing under Sections 9-313 and 9-402(6) of the
Kansas Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State of Kansas, as amended or
recodified from time to time; provided, however that the execution and/or filing
hereof does not imply that the items of Personal Property included in the
Mortgaged Property are or are to become fixtures. The filing hereof as a fixture
filing is intended to protect the parties from unwarranted assertions by third
parties.

                  Notwithstanding any release of any or all of the property
included in the Premises which is deemed "real property", any proceedings to
foreclose this Mortgage, or its satisfaction of record, the terms hereof shall
survive as a security agreement with respect to the security interest created
hereby and referred to above until the repayment or satisfaction in full of the
obligations of Mortgagor as are now or hereafter evidenced by Loan Agreement.

                  SECTION 2.10. During the continuance of any Event of Default,
Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") as enacted by the State of Kansas and any
successor statute, and specifically the right to direct notice and collections
of any obligation owing to Mortgagor by any lessee. In addition to its rights to
foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to sell the Personal
Property or any part thereof, or any further, or additional, or substituted
Personal Property, at one or more times, and from time to time, at public sale


                                       21
<PAGE>

or sales or at private sale or sales, on such terms as to cash or credit, or
partly for cash and partly on credit, as Mortgagee may deem proper. Mortgagee
shall have the right to become the purchaser at any such public sale or sales,
free and clear of any and all claims, rights of equity of redemption in
Mortgagor, all of which are hereby waived and released. Mortgagor shall not be
credited with the amount of any part of such purchase price, unless, until and
only to the extent that such payment is actually received in cash. Notice of
public sale, if given, shall be sufficiently given, for all purposes, if
published not less than seven days prior to any sale, in any newspaper of
general circulation distributed in the city in which the property to be sold is
located or as otherwise required by the Code. The net proceeds of any sale of
the Personal Property which may remain after the deduction of all costs, fees
and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to,
all advertising expenses, broker's or brokerage commissions, documentary stamps,
recording fees, foreclosure costs, stamp taxes and counsel fees, shall be
credited by Mortgagee against the liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of
Mortgagor to Mortgagee, including the Impound Sum, secured by this Mortgage and
evidenced by the Loan Agreement. Any portion of the Personal Property which may
remain unsold after the full payment, satisfaction and discharge of all of the
liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be
returned to the respective parties which delivered the same to Mortgagee. If at
any time Mortgagor or any other party shall become entitled to the return of any
of the Personal Property hereunder, any transfer or assignment thereof by
Mortgagee shall be, and shall recite that the same is, made wholly without
representation or warranty whatsoever by, or recourse whatsoever against
Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 2.11. All rights, remedies and powers provided by
Sections 2.01-2.10 hereof may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise
thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law in the jurisdiction in
which the Premises are located, and all such provisions are intended to be
subject to all applicable provisions of law which may be controlling in such
jurisdiction and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not
render this Mortgage invalid, illegal or unenforceable under the provisions of
any applicable law.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 3.01. 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 of this Mortgage, but this Mortgage shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein.

                  SECTION 3.02. All notices or demands by any party relating to
this Mortgage or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall
be in the form set forth in the Loan Agreement.

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to
receive notices hereunder, by notice in writing in the foregoing manner given to
the other. All notices or demands sent in accordance with this Section 3.02
other than notices by Mortgagee in connection with the Code, shall be deemed
received on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) calendar days
after the deposit thereof in the mail. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that
notices sent by Mortgagee in connection with the Code shall be deemed sent when
deposited in the mail or transmitted by telefacsimile or other similar method
permitted by law.

                  SECTION 3.03. Whenever in this Mortgage the giving of notice
by mail or otherwise is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in
writing by the person or persons entitled to receive such notice.

                  SECTION 3.04. All of the grants, covenants, terms,
obligations, provisions and conditions herein contained shall run with the land
and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns
of Mortgagor and Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 3.05. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original; and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and
the same Mortgage.

                  SECTION 3.06. It shall be lawful for Mortgagee, at its
election, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
to sue out forthwith a complaint in foreclosure upon this Mortgage and to
proceed thereon to judgment and execution for the recovery of all sums payable
by Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage without further stay, any
law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

                  SECTION 3.07. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver,
liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor, or of any of its property, or of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain
possession and control of all property now or hereafter held under this
Mortgage.

                  SECTION 3.08.  Intentionally deleted.

                  SECTION 3.09. Mortgagor hereby waives and relinquishes unto,
and in favor of Mortgagee, all benefit under all laws, now in effect or
hereafter passed, to relieve Mortgagor in any manner from the obligations
assumed and the obligation for which this Mortgage is security or to reduce the
amount of the said obligation to any greater extent than the amount actually
paid for the Mortgaged Property, in any judicial proceedings upon the said
obligation, or upon this Mortgage.

                  SECTION 3.10. Neither Mortgagor nor any other person now or
hereafter obligated for payment for all or any part of the indebtedness secured
hereby shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of


                                       23
<PAGE>

Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or of any other person so
obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any
provisions hereof or under the Loan Agreement or by reason of the release,
regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the
indebtedness secured hereby, or by reason of any agreement of stipulation
between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagee extending
the time of payment or modifying the terms hereof without first having obtained
the consent of Mortgagor or such other person; and in the latter event Mortgagor
and all other such persons shall continue to be liable to make payment according
to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly
released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 3.11. By accepting or approving anything required to
be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Mortgagee pursuant to this
Mortgage, including (but not limited to) any certificate, balance sheet,
statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or
insurance policy, Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented
the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any
term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof
shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto
by Mortgagee.

                  SECTION 3.12. No offset or claim which Mortgagor now or may in
the future have against Mortgagee shall relieve Mortgagor from paying
installments or performing any other obligation herein or secured hereby.

                  SECTION 3.13. Mortgagor waives all rights and defenses that
Mortgagor may have under any laws of suretyship.

                  SECTION 3.14. Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee or to the
authorized loan servicing representative of Mortgagee a charge not to exceed
Fifty dollars ($50.00), or the maximum permitted by law, for any statement
regarding the obligations secured by this Mortgage requested by Mortgagor or on
its behalf.

                  SECTION 3.15. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 2.09
AND 2.10 HEREOF, THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS GRANTED
BY THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS AND IN ALL
OTHER RESPECTS THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

                  SECTION 3.16.     Time is of the essence of all Mortgagor's
obligations hereunder.

                                       24
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 3.17. It is the intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee
to conform strictly to state and federal usury laws applicable to the payment of
the Obligations and permitting the highest rate of interest. Accordingly, it is
agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this instrument or
in any of the instruments representing part or all of the Obligations or
otherwise relating hereto, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges
constituting interest under applicable law contracted for, chargeable or
receivable under the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection herewith, shall
under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by law.
If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for in this instrument or
in any of the installments representing part or all of the Obligations or
otherwise relating hereto, then in such event (a) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Mortgagor nor Mortgagor's heirs,
legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other party liable for the
payment of the Obligations shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest
to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum permitted by law, (c) any
excess shall be deemed a mistake and cancelled automatically and if theretofore
paid, shall, at the option of the holder of the Obligations be refunded to
Mortgagor or credited on the principal amount of the Obligations, and (d) the
effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the
maximum lawful contract rate allowed under such laws as now or hereafter exist
as the same may now or hereafter be construed by courts of appropriate
jurisdiction.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has caused this Mortgage to be
executed as of the day and year first above written.
