ARTICLE 2

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Section 2.1. Mortgagor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows:

(a) Payment and Performance. Mortgagor will make due and punctual payment of the Secured Indebtedness or shall cause the same to be due and punctually paid. Mortgagor will timely and properly perform and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Mortgage and will not permit a default to occur hereunder. Time shall be of the essence in this Mortgage.

(b) Title and Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagor has, in Mortgagor’s own right, and Mortgagor covenants to maintain, lawful, good and marketable title to its interest in the Oil and Gas Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby together with all other Property subject to this Mortgage. Mortgagor is lawfully seized and possessed of the Property and every part thereof, and has the right to convey its interest in the same, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and encumbrances except for (i) the liens and security interests evidenced by this Mortgage, (ii) statutory liens for real estate taxes and assessments on the Property which are not yet due and payable without premium or penalty; (iii) other liens and security interests (if any) in favor of Mortgagee (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) being herein called the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Mortgagor, and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns, will warrant specially and forever defend title to the Property, subject as aforesaid, to Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, against the claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagor will punctually pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or waiver by Mortgagee of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Mortgagor, by the Property or otherwise. If any right or interest of Mortgagee in the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Mortgagee (whether or not named as a party to legal proceedings with respect thereto), is hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in its discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or interest of Mortgagee, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

February-16-2012

(c) Taxes and Other Impositions. Mortgagor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable without premium or penalty, including but not limited to all real estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof, and shall deliver promptly to Mortgagee such evidence of the payment thereof as Mortgagee may require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay any such taxes, assessments, charges or other levies so long as Mortgagor shall in good faith, and at its cost and expense, contest the amount or validity thereof, or take other appropriate action with respect thereto, in good faith and in an appropriate manner or by appropriate proceedings; provided that (a) Mortgagor notifies Mortgagee in advance that Mortgagor intends to initiate such proceedings, (b) such proceedings operate to prevent the collection of, or other realization upon, the taxes, assessments, charges or other levies so contested, (c) there will be no sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property during the contest, (d) Mortgagee shall not be subjected to any claim, cost, liability or expense as a result thereof, and (e) Mortgagor provides assurances satisfactory to Mortgagee (including, without limitation, the establishment of an appropriate reserve account with Mortgagee) of its ability to pay such taxes, assessments, charges and other levies in the event Mortgagor is unsuccessful in its contest. Each such contest shall be promptly prosecuted to final conclusion or settlement, and Mortgagor shall indemnify and save Mortgagee harmless against all claims, cost, liability or expense as a result thereof or in connection therewith. Promptly after the settlement or conclusion of such contest or action, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed or imposed or determined to be payable, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Mortgagor shall obtain and maintain at Mortgagor’s sole expense: (1) mortgagee title insurance issued to Mortgagee covering the Premises as required by Mortgagee, without exception for mechanics’ liens; (2) property insurance with respect to all insurable Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such additional hazards as are presently included in “Special Form” (also known as “all-risk”) coverage and against any and all acts of terrorism and such other insurable hazards as Mortgagee may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Mortgagor and Mortgagee from becoming a coinsurer; (3) if and to the extent any portion of the Improvements are, under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (“FDPA”), as it may be amended from time to time, in a Special Flood Hazard Area, within a Flood Zone designated A or V in a participating community, a flood insurance policy in an amount required by Mortgagee, but in no event less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable law and the FDPA, as such requirements may from time to time be in effect; (4) general liability insurance, on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability, including bodily injury, death or property damage liability,, for the benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee as additional insured; (5) statutory workers’ compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Premises (including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Mortgagee) covering all the employees of Mortgagor and any contractor; (6) if there is a general contractor, commercial general liability insurance, including products and completed operations coverage, and in other respects similar to that described in clause (4) above, for the benefit of the general contractor as named insured and Mortgagor and Mortgagee, as additional insureds, in addition to statutory workers’ compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Premises (including employee’s liability insurance, if required by Mortgagee) covering all the employees of the general contractor and any contractor, and (7); such other insurance on the Property and endorsements as may from time to time be reasonably required by Mortgagee (including but not limited to soft cost coverage, automobile liability insurance, business interruption insurance or delayed rental insurance, boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, wind insurance, sinkhole coverage, and/or permit to occupy endorsement) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, limits and retentions, and, and in forms satisfactory to Mortgagee, and shall require not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee of any cancellation for nonpayment of premiums, and not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee of any other cancellation or any changes of coverage. All insurance companies must be licensed to do business in the State of Illinois and must have an A.M Best Company financial and performance rating of A-:IX or better. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Mortgagor with respect to the Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Mortgagor or Mortgagee and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any petition, case, proceeding or other action pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Mortgagee’s reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Mortgagor shall, in each instance promptly upon its discovery thereof or upon the request of Mortgagee therefor and at Mortgagor’s expense, promptly obtain and deliver to Mortgagee a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Mortgagee, an acceptable evidence of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Mortgage. Without limiting the discretion of Mortgagee with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Mortgagee as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Mortgagee notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named or additional insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Mortgagee under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the Loan Documents. A copy of a satisfactory certificate of insurance acceptable to Mortgagee shall be delivered to Mortgagee at the time of execution of this Mortgage, with all premiums fully paid current, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Mortgagee, with all premiums fully paid current, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. Mortgagor shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Mortgagee evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of the timely payment thereof. If any loss occurs at any time when Mortgagor has failed to perform Mortgagor’s covenants and agreements in this paragraph with respect to any insurance payable because of loss sustained to any part of the Property whether or not such insurance is required by Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Mortgagor, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Mortgagee. Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Secured Indebtedness, all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property, regardless of whether or not such insurance policies are required by Mortgagee, and the expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee on demand. Mortgagee shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Mortgagor. Any such proceeds received by Mortgagee shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, at Mortgagee’s option be (1) released to Mortgagor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Mortgagee) to repair or restoration, either partly or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event, the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Mortgagor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Property.

(e) Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments. Upon request of Mortgagee following the occurrence of any Default, to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Indebtedness, but not in lieu of such obligations, Mortgagor will deposit with Mortgagee a sum equal to real estate taxes, assessments and charges (which charges for the purpose of this paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge which could result in a lien against the Property) against the Property for the current year and the premiums for such policies of insurance for the current year, all as reasonably estimated by Mortgagee and prorated to the end of the calendar month following the month during which Mortgagee’s request is made, and thereafter will deposit with Mortgagee, on each date when an installment of principal and/or interest is due on the Note, sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Mortgagee) to permit Mortgagee to pay at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date when penalties would accrue thereon, the next maturing real estate taxes, assessments and charges and premiums for such policies of insurance. Mortgagee shall have the right to rely upon tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation to make any protest of any such taxes or assessments. Any excess over the amounts required for such purposes shall be held by Mortgagee for future application to taxes and assessments or refunded to Mortgagor, at Mortgagee’s option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be made up by Mortgagor upon demand of Mortgagee. All such funds so deposited shall bear no interest, may be commingled with the general funds of Mortgagee and shall be applied by Mortgagee toward the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when statements therefor are presented to Mortgagee by Mortgagor (which statements shall be presented by Mortgagor to Mortgagee a reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided, however, that, if a Default shall have occurred hereunder, which remains uncured, such funds may at Mortgagee’s option be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in the order determined by Mortgagee in its sole discretion, and that Mortgagee may (but shall have no obligation) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with any penalties or late charges with respect thereto. The conveyance or transfer of Mortgagor’s interest in the Property for any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Mortgagor’s interest in and rights to such funds held by Mortgagee under this paragraph but subject to the rights of Mortgagee hereunder.

(f) Condemnation. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor’s expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for the condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for injury or damage to the Property. Mortgagor shall, promptly upon written request of Mortgagee, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Mortgagee to collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, at Mortgagee’s option be (1) released to Mortgagor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as may be required by Mortgagee) to repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Mortgagee shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Mortgagor. Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in the name of Mortgagor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree. All reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage.

(g) Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Property and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon do and shall at all times comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined). Mortgagor shall not, by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Property or any interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. No improvement upon or use of any part of the Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law or similar law or ordinance. Mortgagor has obtained and shall preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health, environmental and operating permits from the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property.

If Mortgagor receives a written notice or claim from any person that the Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Mortgagor will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to Mortgagee. As of the date hereof, Mortgagor has received no notice and has no knowledge of any such noncompliance. As used in this Mortgage: (i) the term “Legal Requirement” means any Law (hereinafter defined), agreement, covenant, restriction, easement or condition (including, without limitation of the forgoing, any condition or requirement imposed by an insurance or surety company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future; and (ii) the term “Law” means any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, license, permit, authorization, decision, order, injunction or decree, domestic or foreign.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, (i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Mortgage except such as is replaced by Mortgagor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Mortgagor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Mortgage), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value thereof. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagee and, to the extent insurance and/or condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be made available to Mortgagor for such purpose pursuant to the terms hereof, Mortgagor shall promptly, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to the removal of Substances sold in the ordinary course of Mortgagor’s business.

(i) No Other Liens. Except for the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory, constitutional or contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the lien or security interest created in this Mortgage, and should any of the foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released. Subject to the terms of the Oil and Gas Lease, Mortgagor will own all parts of the Property and will not acquire any fixtures, equipment or other property (including software embedded therein) forming a part of the Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. If Mortgagee consents to the voluntary grant by Mortgagor of any mortgage, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (hereinafter called “Subordinate Mortgage”) covering any of the Property or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as to a Subordinate Mortgage, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall contain express covenants to the effect that: (1) the Subordinate Mortgage is unconditionally subordinate to this Mortgage and all Leases (hereinafter defined); (2) if any action shall be instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Mortgagee; (3) Rents (hereinafter defined), if collected by or for the Mortgagee of the Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and expenses incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property in such order as Mortgagee may determine, prior to being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage; (4) written notice of default under the Subordinate Mortgage and written notice of the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage or to seek the appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property shall be given to Mortgagee with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement; and (5) neither the Mortgagee of the Subordinate Mortgage, nor any purchaser at foreclosure thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them shall succeed to any of Mortgagor’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

(j) Operation of Property. Mortgagor will operate the Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and will pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. Upon the completion of any construction of improvements thereon, Mortgagor will keep the Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried thereon. Mortgagor will not use or occupy or conduct any activity on, or allow the use or occupancy of or the conduct of any activity on, the Property in any manner which violates any Legal Requirement or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Mortgagor will not use or permit the use of the Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other Legal Requirement. Mortgagor will not impose any easement (except utility easements executed by Mortgagor in connection with the development of the Property), restrictive covenant or encumbrance upon the Property (except for the Permitted Encumbrances), execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Property or consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mortgagor will not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any part of the Property may be lessened. Mortgagor will preserve, protect, renew, extend and retain all material rights and privileges granted for or applicable to the Property. Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, there shall be no drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas, natural element, compound or substance (including sand and gravel) from the surface or subsurface of the Land regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

Mortgagor is solvent after giving effect to all borrowings contemplated by the Loan Documents and no proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (hereinafter defined) is pending (or to Mortgagor’s knowledge threatened) by or against Mortgagor, of any Affiliate of Mortgagor as debtor. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Mortgagor” shall also include any person liable directly or indirectly for the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof and any joint venturer, member or general partner of Mortgagor.

There is no suit, action, claim, investigation, inquiry, proceeding or demand pending (or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened) which affects the Property (including, without limitation, any which challenges or otherwise pertains to Mortgagor’s title to the Property) or the validity, enforceability or priority of any of the Loan Documents. There is no judicial or administrative action, suit or proceeding pending (or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, threatened) against Mortgagor or against any other person liable directly or indirectly for the Secured Indebtedness, except as has been disclosed in writing to Mortgagee in connection with the Loan. The Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Mortgagor enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws (hereinafter defined) and except as the availability of certain remedies may be limited by general principles of equity. Mortgagor is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Sections 1445 and 7701 (i.e. Mortgagor is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined therein and in any regulations promulgated thereunder).

Mortgagor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, or corporate or partnership structure, unless Mortgagor shall have notified Mortgagee of such change prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Mortgagee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the lien and security interest of Mortgagee in the Property. Mortgagor’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Mortgagor keeps its books and records concerning the Property, has for the preceding four months been and will continue to be (unless Mortgagor notifies Mortgagee of any change in writing prior to the date of such change) the address of Mortgagor set forth at the end of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor is the owner of the leasehold estate created by the Oil and Gas Lease and has the right and authority to mortgage the same to Mortgagee hereunder without the need to obtain the consent of any person, including TEHI LLC or, if needed, such consent has been obtained. In the event that Mortgagee acquires title to Mortgagor’s interest in the Oil and Gas Lease, by foreclosure or assignment in lieu or under a new lease, Mortgagee may assign the Oil and Gas Lease (or such new lease, as applicable) and shall be released from all liability under the Oil and Gas Lease (or a new lease, as applicable), from and after the date Mortgagee provides the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease with a copy of an agreement executed by the assignee wherein such assignee agrees to assume all of the obligations of the Mortgagee under the Oil and Gas Lease.

(ii) Mortgagor shall not surrender the leasehold estate created under the Oil and Gas Lease or its interest herein described, nor terminate or cancel the Oil and Gas Lease, and will not without the express written consent of Mortgagee modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Oil and Gas Lease either orally or in writing, in any way, and as further security for the performance of the covenants herein and in the Oil and Gas Lease contained, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as under the Oil and Gas Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Oil and Gas Lease, in any way any. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that any termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Oil and Gas Lease, in any way, without the prior written consent thereto by Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, simultaneously with the giving thereof as hereinafter provided in this sentence, copies of any notices of default by the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease which Mortgagor may give TEHI LLC or any ground lessor thereunder. Mortgagor covenants with Mortgagee that it shall observe and perform each and every term, covenant, agreement and condition set forth in the Oil and Gas Lease to be observed and/or performed by Mortgagor, as tenant thereunder. Mortgagee shall have the right to declare the occurrence of a Default under this Mortgage in the event of a default in or breach of the performance by Mortgagor under the Oil and Gas Lease, of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions contained in the Oil and Gas Lease.

(iii) If there shall be filed by or against the Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., and the Mortgagor, as lessee under the Oil and Gas Lease, shall determine to reject the Oil and Gas Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee not less than ten (10) ten days’ prior notice of the date on which the Mortgagor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Oil and Gas Lease. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Mortgagor within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that (A) the Mortgagee demands that the Mortgagor assume and assign the Oil and Gas Lease to the Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) the Mortgagee may, in its discretion and if deemed prudent by the Mortgagee, cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Oil and Gas Lease. If the Mortgagee serves upon the Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Mortgagor shall not seek to reject the Oil and Gas Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (A) of the preceding sentence within 30 days after the notice shall have been given.

(iv) No release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations under the Oil and Gas Lease, pursuant to the Oil and Gas Lease or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of the Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage, including obligations with respect to the payment of rent if provided for in the Oil and Gas Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Oil and Gas Lease, to be kept, performed and complied with by the tenant therein.

(v) Mortgagor will at all times fully perform and comply with all agreements, covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or assumed by the tenant under the Oil and Gas Lease, and if Mortgagor shall fail so to do, Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of the tenant’s covenants or obligations under the Oil and Gas Lease. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee immediately upon receipt thereof copies of any notices of default under the Oil and Gas Lease received by Mortgagor from the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease, whether or not the ground lessor is required under the Oil and Gas Lease to give any such notices to Mortgagee, and if any such notices are given to them orally by the ground lessor, Mortgagor shall immediately furnish full particulars thereof to Mortgagee in writing. Upon receipt by Mortgagee from the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease, or upon receipt from Mortgagor, as aforesaid, of any such notice of default under the Oil and Gas Lease, Mortgagee may rely thereon and may, but in no case is obligated to, take any action to cure such default even though the existence or nature of such default shall be questioned or denied by Mortgagor, or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee and agrees that Mortgagee shall have absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or to cure any such default by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may pay and extend such sums of money as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee, immediately and without demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at any post-default rate set forth in the Note). All sums so paid and expended by Mortgagee, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the lien of this Mortgage.

(vi) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, immediately upon request, any and all information concerning the performance by Mortgagor of its obligations under the Oil and Gas Lease, and shall permit Mortgagee or its agent at all reasonable times to make investigation or examination concerning such performance and information. Mortgagor will promptly deposit with Mortgagee (to be held by Mortgagee at its option until the lien of this Mortgage shall be released) any and all documentary evidence received by it showing compliance with the provisions of the Oil and Gas Lease and an exact copy of any notice, communication, plan, specification or other instrument or document received or given by it in any way relating to or affecting the Oil and Gas Lease which may concern or affect the estate of the ground lessor or tenant under the Oil and Gas Lease or the interest of Mortgagee hereunder. In furtherance of, and without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with a contemporaneous exact copy of all written communications sent to or received from the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease and shall give Mortgagee an immediate written explanation of all oral communications sent to or received from the ground lessor under the Oil and Gas Lease of a material nature or which involves a claimed breach or default under the Oil and Gas Lease by either ground lessor or the Mortgagor. Mortgagor will take all reasonable steps, including legal proceedings, to protect its own right, title and interest in any of the Property and to enable Mortgagee to defend its interest therein. Without limitation, if any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect to the Oil and Gas Lease or the Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., Mortgagee shall have the option, to the exclusion of Mortgagor, exercisable upon notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Mortgagee’s choice, but Mortgagee shall consult with and advise Mortgagor, from time to time of the progress of any such litigation. Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in connection with any such litigation, and Mortgagor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by the Mortgagee in connection therewith. Mortgagor shall, upon demand, pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Mortgagor as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and shall be added to the principal amount of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Oil and Gas Lease in any such case under Debtor Relief Laws (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

(vii) The lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §365(h), including, without limitation, all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Premises thereunder. Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, elect to treat the Oil and Gas Lease as terminated under subsection 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §365(h)(1), and any such election made without Mortgagee’s prior written consent shall be void.

(ix) Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee all of its claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the ground lessor of the Oil and Gas Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Oil and Gas Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the ground lessor under any Debtor Relief Laws. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the indebtedness and obligations secured by this Mortgage shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.

(x) Unless Mortgagee shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, the fee title to the property demised by the Oil and Gas Lease and the leasehold estate shall not merge but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in the ground lessor or the Mortgagor or in a third party by purchase or otherwise.

February-16-2012

(xi) In the event that the ground lessor’s interest and estate in, to or under the Oil and Gas Lease or the Premises is held or owned by the same person or entity which holds or owns the Mortgagor’s interest and estate in, to or under the Oil and Gas Lease or the Premises, the lien, right, title and interest under and pursuant to this Mortgage shall at the election of Mortgagee, evidenced by the filing of a recorded instrument stating the same, automatically, without any further documentation, extend to and shall be spread to and over the fee simple estate in and to the Premises and shall be and constitute a fee simple mortgage.

(r) Indemnification.

(i) Mortgagor will indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against, and reimburse Mortgagee on demand for, any and all Indemnified Matters (hereinafter defined). For purposes of this paragraph (r), the term “Mortgagee” shall include the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Mortgagee and any persons owned or controlled by, owning or controlling, or under common control or affiliated with Mortgagee. Without limitation, the forgoing indemnities shall apply to each indemnified person with respect to matters which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of the negligence of such (and/or any other) indemnified person. Any amount to be paid under this paragraph (r) by Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage. Nothing in this paragraph, elsewhere in this Mortgage or in the Note shall limit or impair any rights or remedies of Mortgagee (including without limitation any rights of contribution or indemnification) against Mortgagor or any other person under any other provision of this Mortgage or the Note.

(ii) As used herein, the term “Indemnified Matters” means any and all claims, demands, liabilities (including strict liability), losses, damages (including consequential damages), causes of action, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professional consultants and experts, and of the investigation and defense of any claim, whether or not such claim is ultimately defeated, and the settlement of any claim or judgment including all value paid or given in settlement) of every kind, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which may be imposed upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by Mortgagee at any time and from time to time, whenever imposed, asserted or incurred, because of, resulting from, in connection with, or arising out of any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or with this Mortgage or the Note, including but not limited to any bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Property through any cause whatsoever at any time on or before the Release Date (hereinafter defined) any act performed or omitted to be performed hereunder or under any the Note, any breach by Mortgagor of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Mortgage or in the Note, any default as defined herein, any claim under or with respect to any Lease (hereinafter defined). The term “Release Date” as used herein means the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date on which the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby have been paid and performed in full and this Mortgage has been released or satisfied of record, or (ii) the date on which the lien of this Mortgage is fully and finally foreclosed or a conveyance by deed in lieu of such foreclosure is fully and finally effective, and possession of the Property has been given to the purchaser or grantee free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns; provided, that if such payment, performance, release, foreclosure or conveyance is challenged, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, the Release Date shall be deemed not to have occurred until such challenge is rejected, dismissed or withdrawn with prejudice. The indemnities in this paragraph (r) shall not terminate upon the Release Date or upon the release, satisfaction, foreclosure or other termination of this Mortgage but will survive the Release Date, foreclosure of this Mortgage or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness, the discharge and satisfaction or release of this Mortgage and the Note, any bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding, and any other event whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing the indemnities in the paragraph (r) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event that no claim for Indemnified Matters shall be asserted, or action therefor instituted, prior to the expiration of the statutory period of limitations under applicable Law following the Release Date.

Section 2.2. Performance by Mortgagee on Mortgagor’s Behalf. Mortgagor agrees that, if Mortgagor fails, after the expiration of any applicable grace and/or cure period, to perform any act or to take any action which under any Loan Document Mortgagor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which under any Loan Document Mortgagor is required to pay, and whether or not the failure then constitutes a default hereunder or thereunder, and whether or not there has occurred any default or defaults hereunder or the Secured Indebtedness has been accelerated, Mortgagee, in Mortgagor’s name or its own name, may, but shall not be obligated to, after reasonable written notice to Mortgagor under the circumstances, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Mortgagee, with interest thereon at any post-default rate provided for in the Note, and any money so paid by Mortgagee shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay), shall be a part of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Mortgagee, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, entity or body politic receiving such payment. Mortgagee and its designees shall have the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time, after reasonable notice to Mortgagor, for any such purposes. No such payment or performance by Mortgagee shall waive or cure any default or waive any right, remedy or recourse of Mortgagee. Any such payment may be made by Mortgagee in reliance on any statement, invoice or claim without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof. Each amount due and owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage shall bear interest, from the date such amount becomes due until paid, at any post-default rate provided for in the Note but never in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law, including applicable exceptions whereby no maximum amount is prescribed, which interest shall be payable to Mortgagee on demand; and all such amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall automatically and without notice be a part of the indebtedness secured hereby. The amount and nature of any expense by Mortgagee hereunder and the time when paid shall be fully established by the certificate of Mortgagee or any of Mortgagee’s officers or agents.

Section 2.3. Absence of Obligations of Mortgagee with Respect to Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to the contrary, including, without limitation, the definition of “Property” and/or the provisions of Article 3 hereof, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Property is composed of Mortgagor’s rights, title and interests therein but not Mortgagor’s obligations, duties or liabilities pertaining thereto, (ii) Mortgagee neither assumes nor shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities in connection with any portion of the items described in the definition of “Property” herein, either prior to or after obtaining title to such Property, whether by foreclosure sale, the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and (iii) Mortgagee may, at any time prior to or after the acquisition of title to any portion of the Property as above described, advise any party in writing as to the extent of Mortgagee’s interest therein and/or expressly disaffirm in writing any rights, interests, obligations, duties and/or liabilities with respect to such Property or matters related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Mortgagee shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities prior to or after acquisition of title to any portion of the Property, as lessee under any lease or purchaser or seller under any contract or option unless Mortgagee elects otherwise by written notification.

February-16-2012

Section 2.4. Authorization to File Financing Statements; Power of Attorney. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without signature of Mortgagor as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to the Collateral required by Mortgagee to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in this Mortgage. For the purpose of such filings, Mortgagor agrees to furnish any information reasonably requested by Mortgagee promptly upon request by Mortgagee. Mortgagor also ratifies its authorization for Mortgagee to have filed any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements if filed prior to the date of this Mortgage. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee and any officer or agent of Mortgagee, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Mortgagor or in Mortgagor’s own name to execute in Mortgagor’s name any such financing statements, amendments and continuation statements and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Section 2.4, to the extent that Mortgagor’s authorization above is not sufficient. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby ratifies all acts said attorneys-in-fact shall lawfully do, have done in the past or cause to be done in the future by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

ARTICLE 3

Assignment of Rents and Leases

Section 3.1. Assignment. Mortgagor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently sells, grants, transfers, releases, conveys and assigns to Mortgagee all Rents (hereinafter defined) and all of Mortgagor’s rights in and under all Leases (hereinafter defined). This grant, transfer, assignment and conveyance of Leases gives Mortgagee the present unconditional and absolute right and title to the Leases and Rents and to collect and receive the Rents. So long as no Default has occurred, which remains uncured, Mortgagor shall have a license (which license shall terminate automatically and without further notice upon the occurrence of a Default), in the place and stead of Mortgagee, to collect, but not prior to accrual, the Rents under the Leases and, where applicable, subleases, such Rents to be held in trust for Mortgagee and to otherwise deal with all Leases as permitted by this Mortgage. Each month, provided no Default has occurred, which remains uncured, Mortgagor may retain such Rents as were collected that month and may use and enjoy such Rents free of any trust for Mortgagee. Upon the revocation of such license, all Rents shall be paid directly to Mortgagee and not through the Mortgagor, all without the necessity of any further action by Mortgagee, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property or any action for the appointment of a receiver. Mortgagor, during the continuance of any Default, hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Mortgagee upon written demand by Mortgagee, without further consent of Mortgagor, without any obligation of such tenants to determine whether a Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Mortgagee has taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Mortgagee to the tenants. Any such payments to Mortgagee shall constitute payments to Mortgagor under the Leases, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to do all things which Mortgagor might reasonably otherwise do with respect to the Property and the Leases thereon, including, without limitation, (i) collecting Rents with or without suit and applying the same, less expenses of collection, to any of the obligations secured hereunder or to expenses of operating and maintaining the Property (including reasonable reserves for anticipated expenses), at the option of the Mortgagee, all in such manner as may be determined by Mortgagee, or at the option of Mortgagee, holding the same as security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, (ii) leasing, in the name of Mortgagor, the whole or any part of the Property which may become vacant, and (iii) employing agents therefor and paying such agents reasonable compensation for their services; provided, however, that Mortgagee shall exercise such rights as attorney-in-fact only subsequent to the occurrence of a Default under the terms of the Notes or this Mortgage, which remains uncured. The curing of such Default, unless other Defaults also then exist, shall entitle Mortgagor to recover its aforesaid license to do any such things which Mortgagor might otherwise do with respect to the Property and the Leases thereon and to again collect such Rents. The powers and rights granted in this paragraph shall be in addition to the other remedies herein provided for upon the occurrence of a Default and may be exercised independently of or concurrently with any of said remedies. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to impose any obligation upon Mortgagee to exercise any power or right granted in this paragraph or to assume any liability under any Lease of any part of the Property and no liability shall attach to Mortgagee for failure or inability to collect any Rents under any such Lease. The assignment contained in this Section shall automatically become null and void upon the release or satisfaction of record of this Mortgage. As used herein: (i) “Lease” means each existing or future lease, sublease (to the extent of Mortgagor’s rights thereunder) or other agreement under the terms of which any person has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Property, or any part thereof, or interest therein, and each existing or future guaranty of payment or performance thereunder, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements of each such lease, sublease, agreement or guaranty; and (ii) “Rents” means all of the rents, revenue, income, profits and proceeds derived and to be derived from the Property or arising from the use or enjoyment of any portion thereof or from any Lease, including but not limited to the proceeds from any negotiated lease termination or buyout of such Lease, liquidated damages following default under any such Lease, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Property, all of Mortgagor’s rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of Lease defaults, including rejections, under any applicable Debtor Relief Law (hereinafter defined), together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be or become due and payable to Mortgagor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas, mineral and mining leases covering the Property or any part thereof, and all proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Mortgagor under or pursuant to any and all contracts and bonds relating to the construction or renovation of the Property.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3.2. Covenants, Representations and Warranties Concerning Leases and Rents. Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants that: (a) Mortgagor has good title to, and is the owner of the entire landlord’s interest in, the Leases and Rents hereby assigned and authority to assign them; (b) to the extent that any Leases currently exist, all such Leases are valid and enforceable, and in full force and effect, and are unmodified except as stated therein; (c) neither Mortgagor nor any tenant in the Property is in default under its Lease (and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or notice or both would result in a default under its Lease) or is the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) except as provided in the Loan Documents and unless otherwise stated in a Permitted Encumbrance, Mortgagor has not or will not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Rents or Leases and no other person has or will acquire any right, title or interest in such Rents or Leases; (e) no Rents have been waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised; (f) except as stated in the Leases, Mortgagor has not received any funds or deposits from any tenant for which credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rents; (g) Mortgagor shall perform all of its obligations under the Leases and enforce the tenants’ obligations under the Leases to the extent enforcement is prudent under the circumstances; (h) Mortgagor will not without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, enter into any Lease after the date hereof, or waive, release, discount, set off, compromise, reduce or defer any Rent, receive or collect Rents more than one (1) month in advance, grant any rent-free period to any tenant, reduce any Lease term or waive, release or otherwise modify any other material obligation under any Lease, renew or extend any Lease except in accordance with a right of the tenant thereto in such Lease, approve or consent to an assignment of a Lease or a subletting of any part of the premises covered by a Lease, or settle or compromise any claim against a tenant under a Lease in bankruptcy or otherwise; (i) Mortgagor will not, except in good faith where the tenant is in material default thereunder, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease having an unexpired term of one (1) year or more unless promptly after the cancellation or surrender a new Lease of such premises is made with a new tenant having a credit standing, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, at least equivalent to that of the tenant whose Lease was canceled, on substantially the same terms as the terminated or canceled Lease; (j) Mortgagor will not execute any Lease except with the consent of Mortgagee and for actual occupancy by the tenant thereunder; (k) Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to Mortgagee, as soon as Mortgagor first obtains notice, of any claim, or the commencement of any action, by any tenant or subtenant under or with respect to a Lease regarding any claimed damage, default, diminution of or offset against Rent, cancellation of the Lease, or constructive eviction, excluding, however, notices of default under residential Leases, and Mortgagor shall defend, at Mortgagor’s expense, any proceeding pertaining to any Lease, including, if Mortgagee so requests, any such proceeding to which Mortgagee is a party; (l) Mortgagor shall as often as requested in writing by Mortgagee, within ten (10) days of each request, deliver to Mortgagee a complete rent roll of the Property in such detail as Mortgagee may reasonably require and financial statements of the tenants, subtenants and guarantors under the Leases to the extent available to Mortgagor, and deliver to such of the tenants and others obligated under the Leases specified by Mortgagee written notice of the assignment in Section 3.1 hereof in form and content satisfactory to Mortgagee; (m) promptly upon written request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee executed originals of all Leases and copies of all records relating thereto; (n) there shall be no merger of the leasehold estates, created by the Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of Mortgagee; and (o) Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Mortgagor, any tenant or any other person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lien mortgagee; and nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Mortgage to any Lease.

February-16-2012

Section 3.3. Estoppel Certificates. All Leases shall require the tenant to execute and deliver to Mortgagee an estoppel certificate in customary form within ten (10) days after written notice from the Mortgagee.

Section 3.4. No Liability of Mortgagee. Mortgagee’s acceptance of this assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession,” nor obligate Mortgagee to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any Lease or to the Property, or to take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability under any Lease, or assume any obligation for any deposit delivered to Mortgagor by any tenant and not as such delivered to and accepted by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about the Property, or for Mortgagee’s failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting Rents, but shall be accountable only for Rents that it shall actually receive. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents nor enforcement of Mortgagee’s rights regarding Leases and Rents (including collection of Rents) nor possession of the Property by Mortgagee nor Mortgagee’s consent to or approval of any Lease (nor all of the same), shall render Mortgagee liable on any obligation under or with respect to any Lease or constitute affirmation of, or any subordination to, any Lease, occupancy, use or option.

If Mortgagee seeks or obtains any judicial relief regarding Rents or Leases, the same shall in no way prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights or remedies nor shall same constitute an election of judicial relief for any foreclosure or any other purpose. Mortgagee neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any Lease. The rights of Mortgagee under this Article 3 shall be cumulative of all other rights of Mortgagee under the Loan Documents.

The liquidation, termination, dissolution, insolvency, merger, consolidation or failure to maintain good standing of Mortgagor, or any general partner of Mortgagor in the State of Illinois or California and/or the state of incorporation or organization, if different, or the death, legal incapacity or insolvency of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(j) Enforceability; Priority. Any of the Loan Documents shall for any reason without Mortgagee’s specific written consent cease to be in full force and effect, or shall be declared null and void or unenforceable in whole or in part, or the validity or enforceability thereof, in whole or in part, shall be challenged or denied by any party thereto other than Mortgagee; or the liens, mortgages or security interests of Mortgagee in any of the Property become unenforceable in whole or in part, or cease to be of the priority herein required, or the validity or enforceability thereof, in whole or in part, shall be challenged or denied by Mortgagor or any person obligated to pay any part of the Secured Indebtedness.

(k) Material Adverse Change. In Mortgagee’s reasonable opinion: (a) the prospect of payment of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness has been impaired because of a material, adverse change in the Property or the financial condition, results of operations, business or properties of Mortgagor or any person liable, directly or indirectly, for any of the Secured Indebtedness or (b) a material adverse change upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the Oil and Gas Lease.

(l) Other Property Related Agreements. A default or event of default occurs, by any party thereto, under any of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Oil and Gas Lease or the Redevelopment Agreement, which default remains uncured beyond applicable grace and/or cure periods provided thereby, or any of the foregoing is modified in any matter whatsoever, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, or is terminated for any reason whatsoever.

Section 4.2 Notice and Cure. If any provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document provides for Mortgagee to give to Mortgagor any notice regarding a default or incipient default, then if Mortgagee shall fail to give such notice to Mortgagor as provided, the sole and exclusive remedy of Mortgagor for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief to enforce the agreement to give such notice and to have any acceleration of the maturity of the Note and the Secured Indebtedness postponed or revoked and foreclosure proceedings in connection therewith delayed or terminated pending or upon the curing of such default in the manner and during the period of time permitted by such agreement, if any, and Mortgagor shall have no right to damages or any other type of relief not herein specifically set out against Mortgagee, all of which damages or other relief are hereby waived by Mortgagor. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall operate or be construed to add on or make cumulative any cure or grace periods specified in any of the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 5

Remedies

Section 5.1. Certain Remedies. If a Default shall occur, which remains uncured, Mortgagee may (but shall have no obligation to) exercise any one or more of the following remedies, without notice (unless notice is required by applicable statute and has not been waived hereby or in the concurrently executed agreements):

February-16-2012

(a) Acceleration. Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time declare any or all of the Secured Indebtedness immediately due and payable and such Secured Indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable. Upon and such declaration, such Secured Indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default described in clauses (A), (C) or (D) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (d) of Section 4.1, hereof, all of the Secured Indebtedness shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, declaration or notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or any other notice, declaration or act of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor.

(b) Enforcement of Assignment of Rents. In addition to the rights of Mortgagee under Article 3 hereof, prior or subsequent to taking possession of any portion of the Property or taking any action with respect to such possession, Mortgagee may: (1) collect and/or ▇▇▇ for the Rents in Mortgagee’s own name, give receipts and releases therefor, and after deducting all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, apply the net proceeds thereof to the Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order as Mortgagee may elect and/or to the operation and management of the Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses; and (2) require Mortgagor to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Mortgagee together with original counterparts of the Leases.

(c) Foreclosure. Mortgagee may, with or without entry, institute one or more actions for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage or to institute other proceedings according to law for foreclosure, and prosecute the same to judgment, execution and sale, for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness and all costs and expenses of such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual attorneys’ expenses.

To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee has the option of proceeding as to Mortgagor’s interest in both the Premises and the Accessories in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of the Property, in which event the default provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code will not apply. Mortgagee also has the option of exercising, in respect of Mortgagor’s interest in the Property consisting of Accessories, all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party upon default under the applicable provisions of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. In the event Mortgagee elects to proceed with respect to the Accessories separately from the Land, whenever applicable provisions of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code require that notice be reasonable, ten (10) days notice will be deemed reasonable.

(d) Mortgages of Conveyance and Transfer Upon the completion of every foreclosure, the public officer acting under executive order of the court (a “Selling Official”) will execute and deliver to each purchaser a ▇▇▇▇ of sale or deed of conveyance, as appropriate, for the items of the Property that are sold. Mortgagor hereby grants every such Selling Official the power as the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to execute and deliver in Mortgagor’s name all deeds, bills of sale and conveyances necessary to convey and transfer to the purchaser all of Mortgagor’s rights, title and interest in the items of Property which are sold. Mortgagor hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact lawfully do pursuant to such power. Nevertheless, Mortgagor, if so requested by the Selling Official or by any purchaser, will ratify any such sale by executing and delivering to such Selling Official or to such purchaser, as applicable, such deeds, bills of sale or other Mortgages of conveyance and transfer as may be specified in any such request.

February-16-2012

(f) Recitals. The recitals contained in any Mortgage of conveyance or transfer made by a Selling Official to any purchaser at any judicial sale will, to the extent permitted by law, conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters stated therein, including the amount of the Obligations, the occurrence of a Default, and the advertisement and conduct of such judicial sale in the manner provided herein or under applicable law, and the qualification of the Selling Official. All prerequisites to such judicial sale will be presumed from such recitals to have been satisfied and performed.

(g) Divestiture of Title; Bar. To the extent permitted by applicable law, every sale made as contemplated by this Mortgage will operate to divest all rights, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to the items of the Property that are sold, and will be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and against everyone else, claiming the item sold either from, through or under Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors or assigns.

(h) Sale of Portion of Mortgaged Property. The Lien created by this Mortgage, as it pertains to any Property that remains unsold, will not be affected by foreclosure sale of less than all of the Property.

(i) Receiver. Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Property, collect the Rents therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Illinois or California. To the extent permitted by law, the right of the appointment of such receiver shall be a matter of strict right without regard to the value or the occupancy of the Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor. The expenses, including receiver’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s commission incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained, together with interest thereon at the default rate under the Notes, shall be secured hereby and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor immediately without notice or demand. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash or deposits at the time held by, payable, or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee shall have the right to offset the unpaid Secured Indebtedness against any such cash or deposits in such order as Mortgagee may elect.

(j) Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagee may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Illinois or California Uniform Commercial Codes as in effect from time to time, (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force from time to time in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) or other applicable law as well as all other rights and remedies possessed by Mortgagee, all of which shall be cumulative. Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to enter the Property or other place where the Accessories may be located without legal process, and to take possession of the Accessories without notice or demand, which hereby are waived to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Illinois or California. Upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall make the Accessories available to Mortgagee at a place reasonably convenient to Mortgagee. Mortgagee may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Accessories, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provisions of this Mortgage at least ten (10) days before any sale or other disposition of the Accessories. Mortgagee may choose to dispose of some or all of the property, in any combination consisting of both Accessories and Property, in one or more public or private sales to be held in accordance with the Law and procedures applicable to real property, as permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor agrees that such a sale of Accessories together with Property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the Accessories.

February-16-2012

(k) Lawsuits. Mortgagee may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby, the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Mortgagor hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of the Property by any equity court having jurisdiction.

(l) Entry on Property. Mortgagee is authorized, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Mortgagor any and all rights which Mortgagor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property. Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property or any part thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character reasonably incurred by Mortgagee in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Mortgagor (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Mortgagee may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Mortgagor. In connection with any action taken by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section, Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Mortgagor resulting from any failure to let the Property or any part thereof, or from any act or omission of Mortgagee in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Mortgagee, nor shall Mortgagee be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising, except as otherwise expressly provided in any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by Mortgagee with respect to the Property. Mortgagor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Mortgagee with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

(m) Other Rights and Remedies. Mortgagee may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Mortgagee may have under the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity or otherwise.

Section 5.3. Proceeds of Foreclosure. The proceeds of any sale held by Mortgagee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby shall be applied in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws and to the extent consistent therewith: FIRST, to the payment of all necessary out of pocket costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, advertising costs, auctioneers’ fees, costs of title rundowns and lien searches, inspection fees, appraisal costs, fees for professional services, environmental assessment and remediation fees, all court costs and charges of every character, and to the payment of the other Secured Indebtedness, including specifically without limitation the principal, accrued interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees due and unpaid on the Note and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the order and manner of application to the items in this clause FIRST to be in Mortgagee’s sole discretion; and SECOND, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Mortgagor, or to Mortgagor’s representatives, successors or assigns, or such other persons or entities (including the Mortgagee or beneficiary of any inferior lien) as may be entitled thereto by law; provided, however, that if Mortgagee is uncertain which person or persons are so entitled, Mortgagee may interplead such remainder in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount of any reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and out of pocket expenses incurred in such action shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be reimbursable (without limitation) from such remainder.

February-16-2012

Section 5.4. Mortgagee as Purchaser. Mortgagee shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by Mortgagee or by any receiver or public officer or at any public sale, and Mortgagee shall have the right to credit upon the amount of Mortgagee’s successful bid, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order as Mortgagee may elect.

Section 5.6. Foreclosure as to Matured Debt. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the liens and security interests hereunder without declaring the entire Secured Indebtedness due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness; and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made. The proceeds of such sale shall be applied as provided in Section 5.3 hereof except that the amount paid under clause FIRST thereof shall be only the matured portion of the Secured Indebtedness and any proceeds of such sale in excess of those provided for in clause FIRST (modified as provided above) shall be applied to the prepayment (without penalty) of any other Secured Indebtedness in such manner and order and to such extent as Mortgagee deems advisable, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied as provided in clause SECOND of Section 5.3 hereof. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness.

Section 5.6. Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided for herein and in any other Loan Document are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity, and Mortgagee shall, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document, be entitled to avail itself of all such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness and the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Loan Document or provided for by law or in equity shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate right or rights or remedy or remedies.

Section 5.7. Mortgagee’s Discretion as to Security. Mortgagee may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Mortgagee in its sole discretion, and any such action shall not in anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.

Section 5.8. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, homestead, moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling or forbearance, and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor, Mortgagor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of assets of Mortgagor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and/or security interests hereby created. Mortgagor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Secured Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives any right or remedy which Mortgagor may have or be able to assert pursuant to any provision of Illinois or California law pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section to the extent permitted by law.

February-16-2012

Section 5.9. Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s representatives, or successors as owners of the Property are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of purchaser, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser; and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand immediate possession following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. Except as otherwise expressly agreed to by Mortgagee in any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by Mortgagee with respect to the Property, after such foreclosure, any Leases to tenants or subtenants that are subject to this Mortgage (either by their date, their express terms, or by agreement of the tenant or subtenant) shall, at the sole option of Mortgagee or any purchaser at such sale, either (i) continue in full force and effect, and the tenant(s) or subtenant(s) thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales as landlord thereunder, or (ii) upon notice to such effect from Mortgagee or any purchaser or purchasers, terminate within sixty (60) days from the date of sale. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the Property (such as an action for forcible detainer) in any court having jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 6

Miscellaneous

Section 6.1. Scope of Mortgage. This Mortgage is a mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, an assignment of rents and leases, a financing statement and a collateral assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.

Section 6.2. Effective as a Financing Statement. This Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Property (including said fixtures) is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral (including oil and gas), accounts and general intangibles under the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code, in effect from time to time, and similar provisions (if any) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time, as enacted in any other state where the Property is situated which will be financed at the wellhead or minehead of the ▇▇▇▇▇ or mines located on the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Property is situated. This Mortgage shall also be effective as a financing statement covering any other Property and may be filed in any other appropriate filing or recording office. The mailing address of Mortgagor and the Mortgagee are set forth at the preamble of this Mortgage. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or of any financing statement relating to this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in this Section.

February-16-2012

Section 6.3. Notice to Account Debtors. In addition to the rights granted elsewhere in this Mortgage, following a Default, Mortgagee may at any time notify the account debtors or obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness included in the Collateral to pay Mortgagee directly.

Section 6.4. Waiver by Mortgagee. Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time by a specific writing intended for the purpose: (a) waive compliance by Mortgagor with any covenant herein made by Mortgagor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (b) consent to Mortgagor’s doing any act which hereunder Mortgagor is prohibited from doing, or to Mortgagor’s failing to do any act which hereunder Mortgagor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (c) release any part of the Property or any interest therein from the lien and security interest of this Mortgage; or (d) release any party liable, either directly or indirectly, for the Secured Indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any other Loan Document, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party. No such act shall in any way affect the rights or powers of Mortgagee hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Mortgagee in such writing.

Section 6.5. No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Mortgagee hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Mortgagee including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification which Mortgagee may grant with respect to any Secured Indebtedness, or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant in respect of the Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any Secured Indebtedness. The taking of additional security by Mortgagee shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security rights of Mortgagee hereunder or affect the liability of Mortgagor or of any endorser, guarantor or surety, or improve the right of any junior lien mortgagee in the Property (without implying hereby Mortgagee’s consent to any junior lien).

Section 6.6. Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Mortgagee. Mortgagee may waive any default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Mortgagee may remedy any default without waiving the default remedied. Neither failure by Mortgagee to exercise, nor delay by Mortgagee in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to accelerate the maturity of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof) upon or after any default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Mortgagee of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Mortgagee and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any case shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Remittances in payment of any part of the Secured Indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Mortgagee in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any Secured Indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder, notwithstanding any notation on or accompanying such partial payment to the contrary.

February-16-2012

Section 6.7. Mortgagor’s Successors. If the ownership of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the Secured Indebtedness in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee, and no extension of the time for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness given by Mortgagee shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Mortgagor hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents made by Mortgagee and any subsequent owner of the Property, with or without notice to Mortgagor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Mortgage shall be construed to imply Mortgagee’s consent to any transfer of the Property.

Section 6.8. Place of Payment; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. All Secured Indebtedness which may be owing hereunder at any time by Mortgagor shall be payable at the place designated in the Note (or if no such designation is made, at the address of Mortgagee indicated at the end of this Mortgage). Mortgagor hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of California or of any state or federal court sitting in the jurisdiction in which the Secured Indebtedness is payable over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Mortgage or the Secured Indebtedness. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Mortgagor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Mortgagor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any California state court or any United States federal court sitting in the jurisdiction in which the Secured Indebtedness is payable may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Mortgagor at its address stated at the end of this Mortgage, or at a subsequent address of Mortgagor of which Mortgagee received actual notice from Mortgagor in accordance with this Mortgage, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Mortgagee to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of Mortgagee to bring proceedings against Mortgagor in any other court or jurisdiction. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS MORTGAGE) WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 6.9. Subrogation to Existing Liens; Vendor’s Lien. To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s request, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or Mortgagee of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Secured Indebtedness, but the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall govern and control the manner and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Mortgagee is subrogated hereunder. It is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Mortgagee, Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. To the extent permitted by law, if all or any portion of the proceeds of the loans evidenced by the Notes or of any other Secured Indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Property, no vendor’s lien is waived; and Mortgagee shall have, and is hereby granted, a vendor’s lien on the Property as cumulative additional security for the Secured Indebtedness. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may foreclose under this Mortgage or under the vendor’s lien without waiving the other or may foreclose under both.

February-16-2012

Section 6.10. Application of Payments to Certain Indebtedness. If any part of the Secured Indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by this Mortgage.

Section 6.11. Nature of Loans; Compliance with Usury Laws. The loan evidenced by the Notes is being made solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business or commercial enterprise. It is the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee and all other parties to the Loan Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect, including valid exceptions to usury law where no maximum amount is prescribed because (as in the instant loan) the loan was arranged by a licensed Real Estate Broker. All agreements between Mortgagee and Mortgagor (or any other party liable with respect to any indebtedness under the Loan Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, chargeable, or received under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law, including all valid exceptions where no maximum amount is prescribed (the “Maximum Amount”). If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the Maximum Amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and such document shall ipso facto be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Amount, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Mortgagee shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Secured Indebtedness in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Mortgagor or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Amount.

Scope of Guaranty. The Agreement is an agreement of suretyship and a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder is absolute, primary, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be reduced, impaired or affected in any way by reason of (a) any failure to obtain, retain or preserve, or the lack of prior enforcement of, any rights against any Person or Persons liable for the Obligations (including Borrowers and the Guarantor), (b) the invalidity, unenforceability or voidability of any Obligations or any liens or rights by any Person or Persons, (c) any delay in making demand upon any Borrower or any delay in enforcing, or any failure to enforce, any rights against any Borrower or any other Person or Persons liable for any or all of the Obligations or in any collateral pledged by any Person or Persons, even if such rights are thereby lost, (d) any failure, neglect or omission on Lender’s part to obtain, perfect or continue any lien upon, protect, exercise rights against, or realize on the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other party securing the Obligations, (e) the existence or nonexistence of any defenses which may be available to any Borrower with respect to the Obligations, (f) the granting of any waiver or forbearance at any time and for any period with respect to any performance by any Borrower or any Event(s) of Default under the Preferred Stock Agreement, (g) the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or receivership proceeding or case filed by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or (h) any other fact, event, condition or omission which may give rise to suretyship defense or any other defense.

Reinstatement. If any or all payments securing any or all of the Obligations made from time to time to Lender with respect to any Obligation hereby guaranteed are at any time recovered from, or repaid by, Lender in whole or in part in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or similar case or proceeding instituted by or against the Borrower, this Agreement shall continue to be fully applicable to (or, as the case may be, reinstated to be applicable to) such obligation to the same extent as if the recovered or repaid payment(s) or proceeds had never been originally paid to Lender.

Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies hereunder and under the Preferred Stock Agreement or other agreements entered into concurrently by the parties hereto are cumulative but alternative;

Subrogation. Any and all rights of any nature of the Guarantor to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity and any right of the Guarantor to recourse to any assets or property of the Borrower as a result of any payments made or to be made hereunder for any reason shall be unconditionally subordinated to all of the Lender’s rights under the Preferred Stock Agreement and the Guarantor shall not at any time exercise or be entitled to the benefit of any of such rights unless and until all of the Obligations have been unconditionally paid in full. Any payments received by the Guarantor in violation of this Section 8 shall be held in trust for and immediately remitted to the benefit of Lender.

Agent Records. Lender’s books and records of any and all of the Obligations, absent manifest error, shall be prima facie evidence against the Guarantor of the indebtedness owing or to become owing to Lender hereunder.

February-16-2012

Continuing Guarantee. This Agreement shall constitute a continuing Guarantor obligation with respect to all Obligations from time to time incurred or arising and shall continue in effect until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and satisfied and the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement may not be revoked or terminated.

Setoff. The Guarantor agrees that Lender shall have a right of setoff against any and all property of the Guarantor now or at any time in Lender’s possession, including without limitation deposit accounts, and the proceeds thereof, as security for the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs under any of the agreements entered into concurrently herewith, including a Collateral Assignment, Securities Purchase Agreement, Term Sheet/Loan Agreement, Secured Promissory Note, and Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, all dated 2/15/12 or 2/16/12 then all of the Guarantor’s liabilities of every kind or nature to Lender hereunder shall, at Lenders option, become immediately due and payable (or automatically due and payable to the extent the Obligations under the Preferred Stock Agreement become automatically due and payable by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default under the terms and conditions of the Preferred Stock Agreement, and Lender may at any time and from time to time, at Lender’s option (regardless of whether the liability of Borrower for any or all of the Obligations has matured or may then be enforced), take any and/or all actions and enforce all rights and remedies available hereunder or under applicable law to collect the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder.

Enforcement Timing. Failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy against the Guarantor hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other provision.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall (a) be legally binding upon the Guarantor, and the Guarantor’s successors and assigns, provided that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder may not be delegated or assigned without Lender’s prior written consent and (b) benefit any and all of Lender’s successors and assigns.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the whole agreement and understanding of the parties hereto relative to the subject guaranty. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be enforceable unless agreed to by Lender and Guarantor in writing.

CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE; JURY WAIVER. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER.

February-16-2012

Service of Process; Notices.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. In the event such waiver is unenforceable at the time process is to be served, Guarantor agrees to unequivocally and unconditionally execute a Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt of summons and complaint and any other applicable documents.

Any and all notices which may be given to Guarantor by Lender hereunder shall be sent to Guarantor at the address of Guarantor set forth on the signature page hereto (or such other address at which Guarantor is then located) and shall be sent in the manner described in the concurrently executed agreements.

Suretyship Waivers.

Guarantor shall remain bound under this Agreement for the Obligations of Borrowers to Lender and shall be liable to Lender for any and all of the Obligations remaining unpaid after any such foreclosure.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor specifically waives the benefit of the statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, or the collection of any Obligations, including, without limiting the foregoing, any and all special statutes of limitations arising out of California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a or 726(b), and any laws of similar tenor in the State of California. Any partial payment by Borrowers, or any of them, which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to Borrowers shall likewise toll the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor may have certain rights under applicable law which, if not waived by Guarantor, might provide Guarantor with defenses against Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement. Among those rights, are certain rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, and rights provided in sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, and any laws of similar tenor in the State of California. Guarantor waives all of Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution, and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of any or all of California Civil Code sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and any laws of similar tenor in the State of California, including, without limitation, Guarantor’s rights:

(i) To require Lender to notify Guarantor of any default by Borrowers, provide Guarantor with notice of any sale or other disposition of security for any Obligations, disclose information with respect to the Obligations, Borrowers, or any other guarantor, surety, co-signer or endorser, or with respect to any collateral;

February-16-2012

(ii) That Guarantor’s obligation under this Agreement must be commensurate with that of Borrowers;

(iii) To be discharged based upon the absence of any liability of Borrowers, at any time, by virtue of operation of law, or otherwise, or due to any other disability or defense of Borrowers or any other guarantor, surety, endorser or co-signer;

(iv) To be discharged if any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Obligations are altered in any respect;

(v) To be discharged upon acceptance by Agent of anything in partial satisfaction of the Obligations, and/or if Agent designates the portion of the Obligations to be satisfied;

(vi) To be discharged upon any modification of the Obligations or the release by Agent of Borrowers, or any of them, or any other guarantor, surety, endorser or co-signer;

(vii) To require Lender to proceed against Borrowers, or any other guarantor, surety, endorser, co-signer, or other person, or to pursue or refrain from pursuing any other remedy in Agent’s power;

(viii) To receive the benefit of or participate in any and all security for repayment and/or performance of the Obligations;

(ix) To have any security for the Obligations first applied to satisfy or discharge the Obligations;

(x) That any arbitration award rendered against Borrowers, or any of them, not constitute an award against Guarantor;

(xi) To be discharged based upon any failure by Lender to perfect or continue perfection of any lien, use due diligence to collect all or any part of any Obligations, or if recovery against Borrowers becomes barred by any statute of limitations, or if Borrowers are not liable for any deficiency after Lender realizes upon any collateral; and

(xii) To be discharged due to the release or discharge of any collateral for any Obligations or guaranty or surety, or relating to the validity, value or enforceability of any collateral.

Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure, any laws of similar tenor in the State of California or otherwise.

February-16-2012

Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance, notices of the existence, creation or increase of any new or additional credit, notice of sale in regard to judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of real or personal property collateral and all other notices and demands of any kind or nature whatsoever except as expressly set forth herein.

Maximum Liability. To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder invalid or unenforceable, the Guarantor shall nevertheless remain liable hereunder, provided however that the Guarantor’s obligations shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as if this Section 18 were not a part of this Agreement.

Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the remaining provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT

BY PERSONAL GUARANTOR

THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF CERTAIN ASSETS (“Assignment”), made as of the 16th day of February, 2012, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, an individual, and on behalf of his company EOS Petro, Inc., both with a business address located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Assignor"), to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, with an address located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as the Lender (as defined below) (“Assignee”).

BACKGROUND OF ASSIGNMENT

This Assignment is made as additional security for the payment of a certain bridge loan from Assignee to Assignor in the original aggregate principal sum of Four Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($400,000), made pursuant to that certain Bridge Debt Agreement (“Loan”) dated as of the date hereof (as amended, substituted, restated or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Assignor, as borrower, and Assignee (“Lender”).

The Obligations are secured in this Security Agreement of even date herewith from Assignor to Assignee given to secure payment and described more particularly in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Additional Collateral”). Specifically, Assignors agree to collateral assignments in the order of recovery and form of: 1) a first position lien against all of the assets of EOS Petro, Inc, including but not limited to the oil deposits, equipment and lease, estimated to have a liquidation value in excess of $3,000,000 2) a first position right on a block of ten (10) million shares of Cascade Technologies Corporation (ticker: CSDT) with a current estimated trading value of $400,000, to be held in escrow until the Loan is fully paid, and 3) the first right to all net sale proceeds of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ 50% share of his ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hills home being sold with an estimated value to Lender of $1,200,000 In the event of default, Assignors hereby agree to make available sufficient assets to fulfill Assignor’s Loan obligations to Lender. Assignee agrees to seek only the required cash value where it is the most reasonable avenue to recovery of remaining balance. Assignee further agrees to offer the Assignor an opportunity in good faith to propose alternatives to liquidation of the pledged assets, including permitting the Assignor the opportunity to borrow against the pledged asset as opposed to liquidation; however, Assignee shall retain unfettered discretion to decide whether such alternatives are acceptable to her or not.

As an additional condition to granting the loan, Assignee has required Assignor to execute and deliver this Assignment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Loan and as further security for the Obligations, and intending to be legally bound, Assignor hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to Assignee, and grants Assignee a security interest in, all of Assignor's right, title and interest (but not its obligations) , if any, in the Additional Collateral (as hereinafter defined).

1. The items which shall be the subject of this Assignment, and which are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Additional Collateral," are as follows, and are supplemental to any other collateral given to Assignee for the Obligations (and, to the extent of any duplication of collateral herein and in any other agreement given to Assignee, the provisions shall be deemed complementary and supplemental):

a. All assets EOS Petro, Inc., including oil well leases.

b. Ten million shares of Cascade Technologies stock (ticker: CSDT).

c. 50% of all net proceeds from Nikolas ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hills home (i.e. 100% of Konstant’s interest in proceeds) located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. In support of this pledge, Konstant agrees to lodge a written notice of this agreement immediately and before any closing with any escrowee relating to the sale or potential sale of the home and also to secure written agreement from said escrowee to notify Assignee prior to any disbursement to Assignor and not to make any disbursement to Assignor or for Assignor’s benefit or on Assignor’s behalf without written approval from Assignee. Assignee, for her part, shall not unreasonably withhold any approval requested by an escrowee so long as Assignor is not in default on this agreement or any concurrently executed agreement and Assignee has no other reason to anticipate default.

d. Other personal collateral of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

2. To the extent permitted by law, Assignor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Assignee all right, title and interest in and to the Additional Collateral and all rights and benefits there from up to the amount of the Obligation both jointly and severally including: (i) all cash and non-cash proceeds, and proceeds of proceeds of any of them; and (ii) any and all rights of Assignor under the United States Bankruptcy Code as security for the full, timely and faithful repayment by Assignor of the Loan and performance by Assignor of all of its obligations under the Loan Documents to the fullest extent permitted by law and by the terms of the Additional Collateral. Assignor covenants and agrees to execute such further and additional instruments and assignments as may be requested by Assignee to vest in Assignee all rights of Assignor under any of the Additional Collateral while the Obligation is outstanding.

3. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms and provision of this Assignment, the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, Assignor will retain, use and enjoy the benefits of the Additional Collateral. The affidavit or written statement of an officer, agent or attorney of Assignee stating that there has been an Event of Default shall constitute conclusive evidence thereof for Assignee to seek remedy up to the remaining balance of the Obligation only. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Additional Collateral, to the extent if any still in the possession of Assignor, shall be held in trust for Assignee.

4. Assignor agrees faithfully to observe and perform each and every of the obligations and agreements imposed upon Assignor until the Obligation is satisfied.

5. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor shall it by acceptance of this Assignment be deemed in any manner to have assumed any of the Additional Collateral or to be under any obligation to perform or discharge any of the obligations applicable to any of the Additional Collateral, nor shall Assignee be liable to any Governmental Authorities, Contractors or Vendors by reason of any default by any party under any of the Additional Collateral. Assignor shall perform and discharge all such duties, obligations, and liabilities and hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Assignee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which Assignee may or might incur by reason of any claims or demands against it based on being required, for any reason whatsoever, to perform or discharge same, or due to its alleged assumption of Assignor's duties and obligations to perform and discharge the terms, covenants and agreements in the Additional Collateral. Assignor further shall and hereby does agree to indemnify, defend and hold Assignee harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, costs, expenses, losses or damages arising out of, or resulting from, or by reason of, any performance or discharge or failure or refusal to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Additional Collateral or in this Assignment.

(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, if and to the extent permitted by law, Assignee may, with or without entry upon the Personal Assets, and without prejudice to any other available rights or remedies under the Preferred Stock Documents, at its option, take over and enjoy the benefits of the Additional Collateral up to the amount of the outstanding Obligation only, exercise Assignor's rights under the Additional Collateral, and perform all acts in the same manner and to the same extent as Assignor might do, which acts may be performed either in the name of Assignor or Assignee. Assignor hereby releases any and all claims which it has or might have against Assignee arising out of such performance by Assignee.

7. All of the foregoing powers herein granted to Assignee shall be liberally construed. Assignee need not expend its own funds in the exercise of such powers, but if it does, all such amounts (including reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses) shall be considered as advances for and on behalf of Assignor, secured by this Assignment and also evidenced and secured by the Preferred Stock Documents.

8. Assignor shall, within 15 days of any request by Assignee, furnish Assignee with a complete list of all Additional Collateral.

Assignee may also at any time cease to exercise its rights and remedies under this Assignment. Any failure on the part of Assignee promptly to exercise any option or right hereby given or reserved shall not prevent the exercise of any such option or right at any time thereafter. Assignee may pursue and exercise any remedy or remedies accorded it herein independently of, in conjunction or concurrently with, or subsequent to its pursuit and exercise of any remedy or remedies which it may have under any of the concurrently executed agreements.

11. All warranties of Assignor in the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference.

12.

13. When the content so requires, the singular shall include the plural and the use of any gender shall include all genders.

14. This Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Assignment cannot be amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing executed by Assignor and Assignee.

15. Any notices required to be given under this Assignment shall be sent in accordance with the notice provision contained in the concurrently executed agreements.

This Assignment and the other concurrently executed agreements, including the Collateral Assignment, Securities Purchase Agreement, Term Sheet/Loan Agreement, Secured Promissory Note, and Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, all dated 2/15/12 or 2/16/12, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained in this Assignment.

17. Neither the existence of this Assignment nor the exercise of the privileges granted to Assignee shall be construed as making Assignee a mortgagee in possession or as a waiver or suspension by Assignee of its right to enforce payment of sums secured by the concurrently executed agreements.

18. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF ASSIGNOR AND ASSIGNEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER.

19. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Assignment and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to conflicts except to the extent that any other Loan Document includes an express election to be governed by the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of Assignor and Assignee hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any State or Federal Court located within Los Angeles, California and irrevocably agrees that, subject to Assignee’s election, all actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Assignment or the other Preferred Stock Documents shall be litigated in such Courts. Whenever possible, each provision of this Assignment shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is declared to be invalid, unenforceable, or in conflict with any statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be null and void to the extent it may conflict therewith, but only to the extent of the conflict and without invalidating the other provisions hereof which shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

20. If Assignor elects to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, then, so long as no Event of Default exists (or an event has occurred which but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default), upon Assignee's receipt of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus all outstanding fees, costs, expenses and other liabilities and Obligations, including assignor’s obligation to ensure transfer to Assignee free and clear of certain shares of stock, Assignee shall execute and deliver to Assignor one or more appropriate instruments acknowledging the termination of this Assignment.

21. This Assignment shall continue in full force and effect until the indefeasible satisfaction in full of all of the obligations under the concurrently executed agreements and any other Loan Documents, as evidenced by the recordation of a full conveyance of this Assignment shall terminate and be null without necessity for any further amendment.
