above. Any amount required in excess of insurance proceeds for rebuilding, repair and/or
replacement of the Project shall be paid by the Developer.

each year during the Term. Developer shall also pay all reasonable and itemized fees, costs and
expenses actually incurred by the City, including attorneys' and consultants' fees, in connection
with the enforcement of its rights against the Developer under the TIF District Project Plan or

obligated, to effect such insurance or pay such fees, assessments, charges or taxes or take such
action as is necessary to remedy the failure of the Corporation to comply with the documents,
contracts or agreements effecting the Project, and, in that event, the cost thereof shall be payable
by the Developer to the City.
12. Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. The Developer shall pay timely to the City
generally applicable property taxes assessed and levied by the City on the Property under
applicable property tax laws, rules, rates, regulations and ordinances in effect from time to time.
Nothing in this Agreement shall impair any statutory rights of the City with respect to the
assessment, levy, priority, collection, and/or enforcement of real estate property taxes. In
addition, the Developer agrees to pay timely to the City all special assessments that may be
assessed or levied in connection with the Property under the applicable special assessment laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances and rates in effect at the time said special assessments are assessed
or levied.
13. Increment Guaranty.
(a) The Developer hereby guarantees that commencing in 2016, Tax
Increments received during each calendar year will be at least equal to the amount
necessary to service the City's debt on all amounts disbursed for or on behalf of
Developer during such calendar year. In the event that there is an Annual Tax Increment
Deficit in any given year, the City shall notify the Developer, in writing, that there is an
Annual Tax Increment Deficit, and the amount of the Annual Tax Increment Deficit
("Deficit Notice"). Within thirty (30) days after the Deficit Notice, Developer shall pay
the City an amount equal to the Annual Tax Increment Deficit (a"Guaranty Payment").
(b) Revenue Generation. The Developer acknowledges that the Grant and
City Contribution are being provided by the City in reliance upon the future generation of
general property taxes which will generate revenues for the City, including the revenues
necessary to repay the City's debt on all amounts disbursed for or on behalf of the
Developer under this Agreement. During the term of the TIF District, the Developer
shall use, and shall assure the use by any subsequent purchaser of, the Property for
commercial purposes sufficient at all times to avoid an Annual Tax Increment Deficit and
shall take no action which would negatively affect the value of the Property.
11
6980074_9
(c) Conveyance to Third Parties. The Developer shall not sell, transfer or
convey the Property, any portion thereof or any improvements thereon, to any person or
entity unless such person or entity, for itself and its successors and assigns, agrees to be
bound by the terms of this Section 13 to the same extent as the Developer.
(d) The Developer's obligations under this Section 13 shall be secured by a
Mortgage granted in favor of the City (the "Mortgage"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E. The Mortgage shall be subordinate only to the mortgage of Lender securing
the Loan.
(e) The Developer's obligations under this Section 13 shall also be secured by
the City's right of special assessment or by another remedy available to the City by
statute. If the Developer fails to pay timely any Guaranty Payment due under this Section
13, the City may, in addition to all other remedies available to it in law or equity, levy the
amount of the overdue obligation against the Property as a special assessment pursuant to
Wis. Stat. §66.0701. In connection therewith, the Developer: (i) acknowledges that the
City has incurred costs for the payment or reimbursement of the Project Costs; (ii) agrees
that the amount of the special assessment, if levied consistent with this Agreement,
constitutes a proper exercise of the City's authority to levy special assessments in
accordance with Wis. Stat. §66.0701; (iii) agrees that the allocation of the City's costs to
the Property is reasonable and commensurate with the special benefits provided to the
Property; (iv) agrees that the amount being assessed in accordance with this Agreement
does not exceed the value of the benefits accruing to the Property from the City's
expenditures identified herein; (v) consents to the imposition and levy of such special
assessments; (vi) agrees that the approval of this Agreement by the Oshkosh Common
Council shall be sufficient to authorize the levy of special assessments in accordance
herewith, and that no further procedural steps need be taken by the City; (vii) waives all
special assessment notices, hearings and appeals provided by Wis. Stats. §66.0701 or
§66.0703; and (viii) acknowledges that the City is relying on the terms of this Agreement,
and specifically the terms of this subsection, that such reliance is reasonable, and that the
City's payment of its obligations to the Developer under this Agreement will be
detrimental to the City if the provisions relating to special assessments are not enforced

MORTGAGE
THIS MORTGAGE is made and entered into as of this day of ,
2012, by and between OSHKOSH INVESTORS, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company
(the "Mortgagor") and the CITY OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN, a Wisconsin municipal
corporation ("Mortgagee").
WITNESSETH:
This Mortgage is given to secure the prompt and full payment and performance as and
when due of the obligations of Mortgagor pursuant to that certain Development Agreement (the
"Development Agreement") by and between Mortgagor and Mortgagee dated as of
, 2012. The term "Indebtedness" as used in this Mortgage shall mean all sums
payable to or for the benefit of Mortgagee by Mortgagor under the Development Agreement or
this Mortgage, including any and all expenses reasonably incurred by Mortgagee to enforce
obligations of Mortgagor, as permitted under this Mortgage or the Development Agreement.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Mortgagor hereby mortgages to Mortgagee Mortgagor's
interest in the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto, with all appurtenances and
existing or future improvements (the "Property").
The Mortgage is given to secure payment of the Indebtedness and is given and accepted
on the following terms and condition, which Mortgagor will promptly and faithfully observe and
perform.
The lien of this Mortgage is and shall at all times be secondary, subordinate and inferior
to the lien of each mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, assignment of rents and leases
and any other instrument securing payment of the loans to Mortgagor for the construction or
development of the Property described on attached Exhibit B (the "Prior Encumbrance(s)").
This subordination shall be self-executing as to the Prior Encumbrances and each of them and
effective without any further action or consent of Mortgagee. However, without limiting the
foregoing, upon written request from any lender holding the Prior Encumbrance(s) listed on
Exhibit B, or their respective successors or assigns with respect to such Prior Encumbrance(s),
Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to such person such subordination and other instruments
that such person may reasonably require and that pass in the trade among prudent financial
institutions seeking to confirm or obtain priority over a prior filed or subordinate lien to confirm
or establish the subordination of the lien of this Mortgage to such interest. Mortgagor hereby
expressly covenants and agrees to pay or see to the payment of the indebtedness and
performance of the obligations secured or required by Mortgagor by any Prior Encumbrance(s)
and to pay, perform and observe all things necessary to prevent any default thereunder.
Mortgagor will immediately forward to Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default under any
then Prior Encumbrance(s) which Mortgagor may receive at any time. During the period in
which any Prior Encumbrance is in effect, Mortgagor shall also comply with the insurance and
other provisions contained therein. If any proceeds from the insurance or of any condemnation
of all or any portion of the Property become payable on loss or taking, or any other income or
69800749
proceeds of the Property would otherwise become payable to Mortgagee, the provisions in this
Mortgage for division of such proceeds shall apply only to that portion of the proceeds not
payable to the holder of any Prior Encumbrance. Each provision of this Mortgage shall be
subject to and subordinate to the terms and conditions of(and rights of the lender(s) as to) the
Prior Encumbrance(s).
1. PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee all
amounts, payment of which is secured by this Mortgage, and shall perform all obligations
imposed upon Mortgagor by this Mortgage or the Prior Encumbrance(s).
2. POSSESSION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY.
2.1 Possession. Until in default, Mortgagor may remain in possession and
control of and operate and manage the Property and collect income from the Property.
2.2 Duty to Maintain. Mortgagor shall maintain the Property in as good
condition and repair as required under the Prior Encumbrance(s), as defined below, which
standard shall survive the release of the Prior Encumbrances and each of them.
2.3 Nuisance, Waste. Mortgagor shall not conduct or permit any nuisance
and shall not commit or suffer any waste on the Property.
2.4 Mortgagee's Right to Enter. Mortgagee and its agents and
representatives may enter upon the Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior written
notice (which shall in no event be less than twenty-four (24) hours' advance notice, except in the
event of an emergency) to attend to Mortgagee's interest and to inspect the Property, subject to
the right of tenants then in possession.
2.5 Alteration or Removal. Mortgagor shall not remove, demolish or
materially alter any part of the Property without Mortgagee's prior written consent; except
Mortgagor may remove a fixture, provided the fixture is promptly replaced with another fixture
of at least equal quality.
2.6 Ordinances. Mortgagor shall comply with all laws, ordinances and
regulations affecting the Property.
3. TAXES AND LIENS.
3.1 Payment. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid before delinquency all
taxes and assessments levied against or on account of the Property from and after the date of this
Mortgage, and shall pay or cause to be paid all claims for work done on or for services rendered
or material furnished to the Property. Mortgagor shall maintain the Property free of any liens
created or suffered by Mortgagor having priority over or equal to the interest of Mortgagee under
this Mortgage, except for the Prior Encumbrance(s), and the lien of taxes and assessments not
due, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2.
69800749
3.2 Right to Contest. Mortgagor may withhold payment of any tax,
assessment or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as
Mortgagee's interest in the Property is not jeopardized. If the Property is subjected to a lien for
which Mortgagor is responsible under this Mortgage which is not discharged within thirty (30)
days, Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee cash, a sufficient corporate surety bond or other
security satisfactory to Mortgagee in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any interest,
costs, attorneys' fees or other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under
the lien. In any contest proceedings, Mortgagor will defend itself and Mortgagee and will name
Mortgagee as an additional oblige under any surety bond, and Mortgagor shall satisfy any final
adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property.
3.3 Evidence of Payment. Mortgagor shall promptly furnish evidence of
payment of taxes and assessments to Mortgagee on its demand and shall authorize the
appropriate county official to deliver to Mortgagee at any time a written statement of the taxes
and assessments against the Property.
4. PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE.
4.1 Maintenance of Insurance. Mortgagor shall procure and maintain
policies of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements covering all
improvements on the Property, for replacement value, and in an amount sufficient to avoid
application of any co-insurance clause and with loss payable to Mortgagee and Mortgagor, as
their respective interests may appear. Policies shall be written in amounts, in form, on terms and
with companies reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee
certificates of coverage from each insurer containing a stipulation that coverage will not be
canceled or diminished without a minimum of thirty (30) days' written notice to Mortgagee.
4.2 Application of Proceeds. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of
any loss or damage of the Property the restoration or repair of which is estimated to cost in
excess of$50,000. Mortgagee may make proof of loss if Mortgagor fails to do so within fifteen
(15) days of the casualty. So long as there is no material default under this Mortgage or the
Development Agreement and subject to the Prior Encumbrance(s), Mortgagee shall make the net
insurance proceeds actually received by Mortgagee available to Mortgagor for the restoration
and repair of the Property in a manner consistent with commercially prudent practice of secured
parties in the holding and disbursement of such funds. If the proceeds are disbursed to
Mortgagor for restoration and repair, Mortgagor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed
improvements in a good and workmanlike, lien-free manner, in compliance with applicable law
and reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee.
4.3 Unexpired Insurance at Sale. Any unexpired insurance shall inure to the
benefit of, and pass to, the purchaser of the Property covered by this Mortgage at any foreclosure
sale of the Property.
5. WARRANTIES OF MORTGAGOR.
5.1 Title. Mortgagor warrants that it holds the leasehold interest in the
Property free of all encumbrances other than this Mortgage, any Prior Encumbrance(s), as
6980074_9
defined below, and those restrictive covenants, easements and conditions currently of record on
the Property.
5.2 Defense of Title. Subject to the matters described in paragraph 5.1,
above, Mortgagor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property against the lawful
claims of all persons.
6. CONDEMNATION.
6.1 Application of Net Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of the Prior
Encumbrance(s), if all or any part of the Property is condemned, at Mortgagor's election, so long
as there is no material default under this Mortgage or the Development Agreement, Mortgagee
shall apply all or any portion of the net proceeds of the condemnation actually received by
Mortgagee on the Indebtedness or disburse them to Mortgagor for the restoration of the Property
to as near as practicable to its condition prior to such taking. The "net proceeds" shall mean the
total amount available after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees
necessarily paid or incurred by Mortgagor and Mortgagee in connection with the taking by
condemnation. Sale of all or any part of the Property to a purchaser with the power of eminent
domain in the face of a threat or the probability of the exercise of the power shall be treated as a
taking by condemnation to which this Section shall apply.
6.2 Proceedings. If any proceedings in condemnation are filed, Mortgagor
shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award.
7. TRANSFER BY MORTGAGOR.
7.1 Prohibition of Transfer Without Consent. Mortgagor shall not sell or
convey the Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
7.2 Effect of Consent. Consent by Mortgagee to one transfer shall not
constitute a consent to other transfers or a waiver of this Section. No transfer by Mortgagor shall
relieve Mortgagor or any other person of liability for payment of the Indebtedness. Following a
transfer, Mortgagee may agree to any extension of time for payment or performance or
modification of the terms of this Mortgage or the Development Agreement or waive any right or
remedy under this Mortgage or the Development Agreement without relieving Mortgagor or any
other person from liability.
8. RELEASE ON FULL PERFORMANCE. If all of the Indebtedness is fully
paid, performed and satisfied as and when due, Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to
Mortgagor a full release of this Mortgage.
9. DEFAULT. The following shall constitute "Events of Default":

Indebtedness when due, subject to any cure period expressly provided under this
Mortgage or the Development Agreement, as applicable.

payable.

other sums provided by law.

prior owner of or person using the Property; (c) that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Mortgagor has no knowledge that the Property contains asbestos, polychlorinated
biphenyl components (PCBs) or underground storage tanks; (d) that to Mortgagor's knowledge
there are no conditions existing that would subject Mortgagor to any damages, penalties,
injunctive relief or cleanup costs in any governmental or regulatory action or third-party claims
relating to any Hazardous Substance; (e) that Mortgagor is not subject to any court or
administrative proceeding, judgment, decree, order or citation relating to any Hazardous
Substance; and (f) that Mortgagor in the past has been, and at the present is, in compliance with
all Environmental Laws. Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee, its directors,
officers, employees and agents from all loss, cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses), liability and damage whatsoever directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of, or
based upon (i) the presence, use, storage, deposit, treatment, recycling or disposal, at any time, of
any Hazardous Substance to or from the Property; (ii) the violation or alleged violation of any
Environmental Law, permit, judgment or license relating to the presence, use, storage, deposit,
treatment, recycling or disposal of any Hazardous Substance to or from the Property, or (iii) the
imposition of any governmental lien for the recovery of environmental cleanup costs expended
under any Environmental Law. Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing of any
governmental or regulatory action or third-party claim instituted or threatened in connection with
any Hazardous Substance on, in, under or about the Property.
13. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES. Mortgagor assigns and transfers
to Mortgagee, as additional security for the Indebtedness, all rents that become or remain due or
are paid under any agreement or lease for the use or occupancy of any part or all of the Property.
Until the occurrence of an event of default under this Mortgage or the Development Agreement,
Mortgagor has the right to collect the rents, issues and profits from the Property, but upon the
occurrence of such an event of default, and the giving of notice by Mortgagee to Mortgagor
declaring that constructive possession of the Property is in Mortgagee, Mortgagor's license to
collect is terminated and Mortgagee shall be entitled to such rents, issues and profits and may,
after giving Mortgagor any notice and opportunity to perform required by law, notify any or all
tenants to pay all such rents directly to Mortgagee. All such payments shall be applied in such
manner as Mortgagee determines to payments required under this Mortgage and the Secured
69800749
Obligations. This assignment shall be enforceable and Mortgagee shall be entitled to take any
action to enforce the assignment (including notice to the tenants to pay directly to Mortgagee or
the commencement of a foreclosure action) without seeking or obtaining the appointment of a
receiver or possession of the Property.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Mortgage.
14.2 Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations stated
in this Mortgage on transfer of Mortgagor's interest, this Mortgage shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
14.3 Expenditure by Mortgagee. If Mortgagor fails to comply with any
provision of this Mortgage within the time allowed (including any cure period allowed by this
Mortgage after notice from Mortgagee), Mortgagee may elect to take the required action on
Mortgagor's behalf, and any amount that Mortgagee expends in so doing shall be added to the
Indebtedness. Amounts so added shall be payable on demand with interest from the date of
expenditure at the rate past due amounts under the Development Agreement bear, but not, in any
event, at a rate higher than the maximum rate permitted by law. Such action by Mortgagee shall
not constitute a cure or waiver of the default or any other right or remedy which Mortgagee may
have on account of Mortgagor's default.
14.4 Notices. Any notice under this Mortgage shall be in writing and shall be
effective when either delivered in person or, if mailed, shall be deemed effective on the second
day after deposited as registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the
address stated in this Mortgage. Any party may change its address for notices by written notice
to the other.
14.5 Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If any of the provisions
contained in the Development Agreement or this Mortgage shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining provisions in this Mortgage and the
Note shall not be affected.
14.6 Changes in Writing. This Mortgage and any of its terms may only be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any
agreement subsequently made by Mortgagor or Mortgagee relating to this Mortgage shall be
superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.
14.7 Applicable Law. The law of the state in which the Property is located
shall be applicable for the purpose of construing and determining the validity of this Mortgage
and determining the rights and remedies of Mortgagee on default.
