(a)    Sale Interest. In the event of a Sale of the Mortgaged Property on or before the Facility Exit Date, the Borrower shall pay Sale Interest to the Lender as provided in this Section 2.6(a). Under no circumstances shall Borrower enter into a Sale of the Mortgaged Property to any Affiliate of the Borrower or the Guarantor without the Lender’s prior written consent.

(i)    In the event of an all-cash Sale of the Mortgaged Property (other than a Sale of the Mortgaged Property as described in Section 2.6(a)(ii)), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount (“Sale Interest”) equal to the Applicable Percentage of the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale of the Mortgaged Property.

(c)    Survival. This Section 2.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents until the Additional Interest has been paid to, and received by, the Lender.

Section 2.7    [Reserved].

Section 2.8    [Reserved].

Section 2.9    [Reserved].

Section 2.10    Payments, Computations, Etc.

Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest, Additional Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. All payments made under the Transaction Documents shall be applied first, to the payment of any sums (other than principal, interest and Additional Interest) due from Borrower to Lender under the Transaction Documents, second, to any interest (other than Additional Interest), third, to the Additional Interest, and last to the principal amount.

Section 2.11    Fees.

(a)    The Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable estimated fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel) in connection with the negotiation, documentation and closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement incurred through the Closing Date on the Closing Date, together with all recording fees and taxes, title insurance premiums, and other costs and expenses related to the Loan.

(b)    The Borrower shall pay the Facility Structuring Fee to the Lender on the Closing Date.

(c)    The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a Facility Advance Fee contemporaneously with each and every Advance; provided, that, without duplication, the Lender may elect to pay itself a Facility Advance Fee with monies deducted from the related Advance.

(d)    The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a one-time Facility Increase Fee concurrently with the Advance, if any, that is the first Advance in which the aggregate Advances made by the Lender shall exceed $2,500,000; provided, that, without duplication, the Lender may elect to pay itself the Facility Increase Fee with monies deducted from the related Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of a one-time Facility Increase Fee does not negate the requirement that the Borrower simultaneously pay a Facility Advance Fee in connection with the one-time Advance described in this Section 2.11(d).

Section 2.12    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

(a)    If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by an Indemnified Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a) subject an Indemnified Party to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect

thereof, or any right or obligation to make Advances or on any payment made hereunder, (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or (c) impose any other condition affecting any Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Indemnified Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the Facility Maturity Date following demand by such Indemnified Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

(b)    If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Indemnified Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, compliance by an Indemnified Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Indemnified Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Indemnified Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Indemnified Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, on the Facility Maturity Date following demand by such Indemnified Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such reduction.

(c)    If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, any Indemnified Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten (10) days after demand by such Indemnified Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Indemnified Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d)    In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Indemnified Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower a written description as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)    Failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to

demand or receive such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Indemnified Party notifies the Borrower of such Indemnified Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six (6) month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(f)    The Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13; provided that the Lender shall not be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, be disadvantageous to the Lender. In no event will Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.12 which relates to any other entities to which the Lender provides financing.

(g)    The payment of amounts under this Section 2.12 shall be on an after‑Tax basis.

Section 2.13    Taxes.

(a)    Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If the Borrower shall be required under any applicable requirement of law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to the Lender (including for purposes of Section 2.12 and this Section 2.13, any assignee, successor, or participant), (i) Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any requirement of law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.13(a)) the Lender receives on the date on which the related payment is due an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Indemnified Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement “Indemnified Taxes” are Taxes other than (A) Taxes that are imposed on the Lender’s overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof and branch profits taxes) by the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed solely as a result of the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Indemnified Taxes), (B) Taxes imposed under FATCA, (C) any U.S. federal withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to a Lender at the time

such person becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.13(e), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.13(a).

(b)    In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value‑added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c)    Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Lender for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13(c) imposed on or paid by the Lender or any direct or indirect owner of the Lender and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Borrower provided for in this Section 2.13(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by the Borrower under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.13(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Borrower) shall furnish to the Lender for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing contained in Section 2.12 or this Section 2.13 shall require the Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

The Lender shall also have the right to appear with the Borrower in any action against an insurer based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.

Section 8.1    Grant of Security Interest.

(a)    To secure the payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations, this Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the Advances effected hereby constitute secured loans by the Lender to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby conveys and grants as of the Closing Date to the Lender, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, the UCC Collateral (as defined in the Deed of Trust), and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Applicable Law not in effect as of the date hereof or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Applicable Law. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Lender, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. The expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Advances, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.

(b)    The grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Lender of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under any applicable Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any applicable Collateral, and (c) the Lender shall have no obligation or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 8.2    Certain Secured Party Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose Lender may, as far as Borrower can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any premises on which any of the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare all of the Collateral for sale and to dispose of said Collateral, if Lender so chooses, from the Mortgaged Property, provided that Lender may require Borrower to assemble such UCC Collateral and make it available to Lender for disposition at a place to be designated by Lender from which the UCC Collateral would be sold or disposed of, and provided further that, for a reasonable period of time prior to the disposition of such UCC Collateral, Lender shall have the right to use same in the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all forms, documents, certificates and registrations as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Lender to sell and deliver good and clear title to the UCC Collateral to the buyer at the sale as herein provided. Unless the UCC Collateral is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale of such UCC Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Lender may buy at any public sale and, if the UCC Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, it may buy at private sale. Unless Lender shall otherwise elect, any sale of the UCC Collateral shall be solely as a unit and not in separate lots or parcels; it being expressly agreed, however, that Lender shall have the absolute right to dispose of such UCC Collateral in separate lots or parcels. Lender shall further have the absolute right to elect to sell the UCC Collateral as a unit with, and not separately from, the Land and any improvements constituting a portion of the Mortgaged Property. The net proceeds realized upon any disposition of the UCC Collateral, after deduction for the expenses of retaining, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender shall be applied towards satisfaction of such of the Obligations secured hereby, and in such order of application, as Lender may elect. If all of the Obligations are satisfied, Lender will account to Borrower for any surplus realized on such disposition.

Section 8.3    Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant

to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Lender, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Lender or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(1)    Acceleration. Declare immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment, notice of protest or demand, notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, all Obligations including all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and/or any of the Transaction Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing.

If the Borrower has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 10.1 and Section 10.3 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts then, the recipient shall repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts (except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party) relating to or resulting from:

(v)    any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Advances.

(b)    Following any Indemnified Party’s demand therefor, accompanied by a reasonably detailed description in writing of the related damage, loss, claim, liability and related costs and expenses, any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.1 shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Person on the Facility Maturity Date.

(c)    If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 10.1 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower, on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 10.1(a). Any amount to be contributed by Borrower under this Section 10.1(c) shall be due and payable by Borrower on the Facility Maturity Date.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Funding Notice is delivered to you pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.

The undersigned, through its duly elected Responsible Officer, and holding the office set forth below such officer’s name, hereby certifies as follows:

(i)    The representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 are true and correct on and as of such day as though made on and as of such day and shall be deemed to have been made on such day (other than any representation and warranty that is made as of a specific date);

(ii)    No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance or from the application of proceeds therefrom, which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; and

(iii)    The Borrower is in compliance with each of its covenants and agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents and, with respect to such Advance, no action, omission, fact, circumstance, condition or event has occurred or exists that would have constituted a Default or Event of Default under Section 5.2 had the covenants and agreements in Section 5.2 been in effect and binding on the Borrower from and after the Closing Date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Funding Notice this ______ day of __________, ____.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BUENA YUMA, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of SRE MONARCH LENDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”), the principal sum of FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000), or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the aggregate advances (“Advances”) made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on the attached Schedule, on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance on each day that such unpaid principal amount is outstanding, at the Interest Rate as provided in the Loan Agreement, on the Facility Maturity Date, and to pay the Additional Interest at the time set forth in the Loan Agreement.

This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Borrower and the Lender. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, if at any time the rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Note, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Loan Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the total interest received by the Lender under this Note exceed the amount which the Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances and the Additional Interest represented by this Note shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the Loan Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note.

If any payment under this Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended at the applicable Interest Rate.

Payment of the principal amount of the Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Loan Agreement. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

The Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.

All amounts evidenced by this Note, the Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided in the Loan Agreement.

The holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by the Lender and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Loan Agreement and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Loan Agreement and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Loan Agreement, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Loan Agreement.

This Promissory Note is the “Note” referred to in Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement.

This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as on the date first written above.
