Imposition. Mortgagor shall pay the Imposition whether or not the Imposition is imposed upon Mortgagee or on the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property; provided that if for any reason payment by Mortgagor of any such Imposition would be unlawful, or if the payment thereof would constitute usury or render the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious, Mortgagee, at its option, may declare the whole sum secured by this Mortgage with interest thereon to be immediately due and payable, without prepayment premium, or Mortgagee, at its option, may pay that amount or portion of such Imposition as renders the Indebtedness unlawful or usurious, in which event Mortgagor shall concurrently therewith pay the remaining lawful and non-usurious portion or balance of said Imposition.

Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, in any instance where Mortgagor in its sound discretion determines that any Collateral has become inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor may, at its expense, remove and dispose of it and substitute and install other items not necessarily having the same function, provided, that such removal and substitution shall not impair the operating utility and unity of the Mortgaged Property. All substituted items shall become a part of the Mortgaged Property and subject to the lien of the Mortgage.

3.3 Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the rights available to a mortgagee of real property, Mortgagee shall also have all the rights, remedies and recourse available to a secured party under the UCC, including the right to proceed under the provisions of the UCC governing default as to any Collateral or to proceed as to such Collateral in accordance with the procedures and remedies available pursuant to a foreclosure of real estate. Mortgagor further understands that Mortgagee may take possession of the Collateral under the UCC and dispose of the same by sale or otherwise. If notice to any party of the intended disposition of the Collateral is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) days prior to such intended disposition and may be given by advertisement in a newspaper accepted for legal publications either separately or as part of a notice given to foreclose the real property or may be given by private notice if such parties are known to Mortgagee.

3.4 Financing Statement. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file all of Mortgagor’s financing statements, and all terminations of the filings of other secured parties, all with respect to the Collateral, in such form and substance as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary to perfect and continue the priority of Mortgagee’s security interest in the Collateral and shall pay all expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the renewal or extensions of any financing statements executed in connection with the Mortgaged Property; and shall give advance written notice of any proposed change in Mortgagor’s name, address, identity or structure; and shall not change its state of organization without Mortgagee’s prior written consent and authorizes Mortgagee to execute prior to or concurrently with such change all additional financing statements that Mortgagee may require to establish and perfect the priority of Mortgagee’s security interest.

If Mortgagor shall fail to comply with any of the covenants or obligations of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, without further notice to Mortgagor, and without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation in this Mortgage contained, remedy such failure, and Mortgagor agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by Mortgagee in remedying any such failure together with interest at the then rate in effect on the Note. All such sums, together with interest as aforesaid shall become so much additional Indebtedness, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve Mortgagor from any failure hereunder.

5.2 No Claim Against Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Mortgagor or any party in interest with Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would create any personal liability against Mortgagee in respect thereof or would permit the making of any claim that any lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the lien of this Mortgage.

5.3 Inspection. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee’s authorized representatives to enter the Mortgaged Property at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same; provided Mortgagee shall have no duty to make such inspections and shall not incur any liability or obligation for making or not making any such inspections.

5.4 Waivers; Releases; Resort to Other Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any party liable for payment of any Indebtedness or performance of any obligation contained herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at any time, and without notice to or the consent of Mortgagor or any party in interest with the Mortgaged Property or the Note:

5.4.1 release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for performance of any obligation herein;

5.4.2 make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or modifying or waiving any obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof;

5.4.3 accept any additional security;

 

13

---

5.4.4 release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, including any or all of the Mortgaged Property, including making partial releases of the Mortgaged Property; or

5.4.5 resort to any security agreements, pledges, contracts of guarantee, assignments of rents and leases or other securities, and exhaust any one or more of said securities and the security hereunder, either concurrently or independently and in such order as it may determine.

5.5 Waiver of Appraisement, Homestead, Marshaling. Mortgagor waives to the full extent lawfully allowed the benefit of any homestead, appraisement, evaluation, stay and extension laws now or hereinafter in force. Mortgagor waives any rights available with respect to marshaling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or as to require Mortgagee to exhaust its remedies against a specific portion of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against the other and does hereby expressly consent to and authorize the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a single unit or parcel or as separate parcels.

Section 6. Events of Default and Remedies.

6.1 Events of Default. It shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Mortgage upon the happening of any of the events defined in the Loan Agreement.

6.2 Mortgagee’s Right to Accelerate. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note together with all other Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and thereupon all such unpaid principal balance of the Note together with all accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and all other Indebtedness shall be and become immediately due and payable. Any such payment shall be subject to the requirements, if any, in the Note providing for the payment of a prepayment premium.

6.3 Right to Foreclose. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee may, either with or without entry or taking possession, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceedings or remedy to enforce payment of the Indebtedness or the performance of any other term hereof or any other right and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and fully empowers Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage by judicial proceedings or by advertisement with power of sale and grants to Mortgagee full authority to sell the Mortgaged Property at public auction and convey title to the Mortgaged Property to the purchaser, either in one parcel or separate lots and parcels, all in accordance with and in the manner prescribed by law, and out of the proceeds arising from sale and foreclosure to retain the principal and interest due on the Note and the Indebtedness together with all such sums of money as Mortgagee shall have expended or advanced pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to statute together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and all costs and expenses of such foreclosure, including lawful reasonable attorney’s fees, with the balance, if any, to be paid to the persons entitled thereto by law. In any such proceeding Mortgagee may apply all or any portion of the Indebtedness to the amount of the purchase price.

 

14

---

6.4 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee shall be entitled as a matter of right without notice and without giving bond and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor, or waste of the Mortgaged Property or adequacy of the security of the Mortgaged Property, to apply for the appointment of a receiver (a) under Minnesota Statutes § 576.01 or any successor or supplementary statute who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute and who shall apply the rents, income and profits as provided by statute and thereafter to all expenses for maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and to the repayment of the Indebtedness or (b) under Minnesota Statutes § 559.17 or any successor or supplementary statute who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute and who shall apply the rents, income and profits as provided by statute and thereafter to all expenses for maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and to the repayment of the Indebtedness or (c) pursuant to the assignment of rents and leases executed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee given contemporaneously with this Mortgage who shall in addition to the rights, powers and remedies as provided by statute have such rights, powers and remedies as provided in such assignment of rents and leases and who shall apply the rents, income and profits as provided therein.

6.5 Waiver of Appraisement, Homestead, Redemption. Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any advantage of, any stay, exemption or extension law or any so called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time subsequently in force, nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit of advantage of or from any law now or subsequently in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or pursuant to decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; or after such sale or sales claim or exercise any rights under any statute now or subsequently in force to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, or relating to the marshaling thereof, upon foreclosure sale or other enforcement hereof. Mortgagor hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption from sale pursuant to any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on its own behalf.

6.6 Due on Sale or Mortgaging, Etc. In the event of a Transfer without the written consent of Mortgagee being first obtained, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, then at the sole option of Mortgagee, Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance together with accrued interest, due and payable in full and call for payment of the same in full at once. Any such payment shall be subject to the requirements, if any, in the Note providing for the payment of a prepayment premium in the event of a non-permitted Transfer. A consent by Mortgagee as to any one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to a future Transfer. As used herein, the term “Transfer” shall mean any sale, grant, pledge, assignment, mortgage, encumbrance, security interest, consensual lien, hypothecation, lease (excluding residential leases and any other bona fide third party leases for actual occupancy by a tenant), transfer or divesture of an interest in (a) the Mortgaged Property, or (b) all or any substantial part of the assets of the Mortgagor except for assets sold in the ordinary course of Mortgagor’s business, or (c) any ownership interest in the Mortgagor, or (d) any entity controlling, managing or in control of the Mortgagor. Any change in the legal or equitable title of the Mortgaged Property or in the beneficial ownership of the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagor whether or not of record and whether or not for consideration shall be deemed a Transfer.

6.7 Rights Cumulative. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to Mortgagee, at law or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy or the right of Mortgagee to resort thereto at a later date or be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default under this Mortgage or the Note.

6.8 Right to Discontinue Proceedings. In the event Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Mortgage and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and in such event Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness. This Mortgage, the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property and all rights, remedies and recourse of Mortgagee shall continue as if the same had not been invoked.

6.9 Acknowledgment of Waiver of Hearing Before Sale. Mortgagor understands and agrees that if any Event of Default is made under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagee has the right, inter alia, to foreclose this Mortgage by advertisement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 580, as subsequently amended, or pursuant to any similar or replacement statute subsequently enacted; that if Mortgagee elects to foreclose by advertisement, it may cause the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to be sold at public auction; that notice of such sale must be published for six (6) successive weeks at least once a week in a newspaper of general circulation and that no personal notice is required to be served upon Mortgagor. Mortgagor further understands that under the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, it may have the right to notice and hearing before the Mortgaged Property may be sold and that the procedure for foreclosure by advertisement described above does not insure that notice will be given to Mortgagor and neither said procedure for foreclosure by advertisement nor the Uniform Commercial Code requires any hearing or other judicial proceeding. MORTGAGOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY MAY BE FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. MORTGAGOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL; THAT BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT AND THIS PARAGRAPH THAT MORTGAGOR’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WERE FULLY EXPLAINED BY SUCH COUNSEL AND THAT MORTGAGOR UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREBY AND THE EFFECT OF SUCH WAIVER.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

7.1 Choice of Law. Notwithstanding the place of execution of this instrument, the parties to this instrument have contracted for Minnesota law to govern this instrument and it is agreed that this instrument is made pursuant to and shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

7.2 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage and each and every covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, each and every from time to time record owner of the Mortgaged Property or any other person having an interest therein, shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. As used herein the words “successors and assigns” shall also be deemed to include the heirs, representatives, administrators and executors of any natural person who is or becomes a party to this Mortgage. In the event that the ownership of the Mortgaged Property becomes vested in a person or persons other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall not have any obligation to deal with such successor or successors in interest unless such transfer is permitted by this Mortgage and then only upon being notified in writing of such change of ownership. Upon such notification, Mortgagee may thereafter deal with such successor in place of Mortgagor without any obligation to thereafter deal with Mortgagor and without waiving any liability of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note. No change of ownership shall in any way operate to release or discharge the liability of Mortgagor hereunder unless such release or discharge is expressly agreed to in writing by Mortgagee.

7.3 Unenforceability of Certain Clauses. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provisions hereof shall not render any other provision or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid.

7.4 Captions and Headings. The captions and headings of the various sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable.

7.5 Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Mortgagor, and Mortgagee at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Mortgagee to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this section shall control every other covenant and agreement in the Note, this Mortgage and other Loan Documents. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note, this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or if Mortgagee’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, or if any prepayment by Mortgagor results in Mortgagor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Mortgagor’s and Mortgagee’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Mortgagee shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and all other Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Mortgagor), and the provisions of the Note and this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents,

 

17

---

so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as the Indebtedness is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Mortgagee to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

7.6 Notices. Any notices and other communications permitted or required by the provisions of this Mortgage (except for telephonic notices expressly permitted) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by depositing the same with the United States Postal Service, or any official successor thereto, designated as Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, bearing adequate postage, or deposited with reputable private courier or overnight delivery service, and addressed as hereinafter provided. Each such notice shall be effective upon being deposited as aforesaid. The time period within which a response to any such notice must be given, however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt of the notice by the addressee thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least ten (10) days’ notice thereof, either party hereto shall have the right from time to time to change its address and shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

Each notice to Mortgagee shall be addressed as follows:

Venture Bank

2640 Eagan Woods Drive

Eagan, MN 55121

Attn: Bryan Frandrup

Phone No:       (651) 289-2222

Fax No.:          (651) 289-0200

Each notice to Mortgagor shall be addressed as follows:

Minwood Partners, Inc. and

Famous Dave’s of America, Inc.

12701 Whitewater Drive, Suite 200

Minnetonka, MN 55343

Attn: Chief Executive Officer

7.7 Consent to Jurisdiction. Mortgagor submit(s) and consent(s) to personal jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Minnesota in the County where the Mortgaged Property is located and the Courts of the United States of America sitting in such State for the enforcement of this instrument and waive(s) any and all personal rights under the laws of any state or the United States of America to object to jurisdiction in the State of Minnesota.

 

18

---

Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of consent to jurisdiction or of the submission made by Mortgagor to personal jurisdiction within the State of Minnesota.

7.8 Adjustable Rate Note. The Note secured by this Mortgage provides for adjustments in its interest rate from time to time in accordance with its terms. Reference is made to the Note for the time, terms and conditions of the adjustments in the interest rate. Such times, terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.

7.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. MORTGAGOR WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH MORTGAGOR IS INVOLVED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AND ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS MORTGAGE OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER, AND WHETHER ARISING OR ASSERTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE DATE OF THIS MORTGAGE.

7.10 Right of Setoff. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee reserves a right of setoff in all Mortgagor’s accounts with Mortgagee (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Mortgagor holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Mortgagor may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Mortgagee’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

7.11 Cross Collateralization. In addition to the Loan, this Mortgage secures all obligations, debts and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, or any one or more of them, as well as all claims by Mortgagee against Mortgagor or any one or more of them, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether related or unrelated to the purpose of the Note, whether voluntary or otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether Mortgagor may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether obligated as guarantor, surety, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether recovery upon such amounts may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise unenforceable.

7.12 Partial Release of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee agrees to release from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, portions of the Mortgaged Property upon the closing of the sale thereof or by request of the Mortgagor (hereinafter referred to as a “Release Parcel”), upon satisfaction by Mortgagor of the following terms and conditions:

7.12.1 Mortgagee approves such release in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld;

7.12.2 Mortgagor shall have made such request at least ten (10) business days prior to the requested release date;

 

19

---

7.12.3 On the requested release date, and on the actual release date, no Default or Event of Default shall exist under the Mortgage and Loan Documents;

7.12.4 A Release Parcel must be released as a whole and not in part; and

7.12.5 Upon any such release of a Release Parcel, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee in immediately available funds an amount (hereinafter referred to as a “Release Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of the Release Parcel as determined by a new appraisal completed at the time of requested release by an appraiser acceptable to the Mortgagee and agreed to by the Mortgagor; or (ii) the value for the Release Parcel shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Release Amount for the release of each Release Parcel shall be applied first to the principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses due to Lender under any loan that has priority, whether then due and payable or not, and if the priority loan is paid in full, then to the principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses due to Lender under Loan, whether then due and payable or not, and will not be subject to any pre-payment penalty. The cost of the appraisal for the Release Parcel will be paid by the Borrower.
