PETITION FOR FORECLOSURE OF MORTGAGE
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

1. Plaintiff is a corporation duly organized under the laws of the United States of America, and was at all times hereinafter stated, authorized to transact business in the State of Oklahoma.

3. On or about April 6, 2018, the Defendant, Banyan Strategies LLC, for good and valuable consideration, made, executed and delivered to Patch of Land Lending, LLC ("Plaintiff"), a certain promissory note, in writing, promising and agreeing to pay to the holder thereof, the sum of $1,151,000.00 with interest thereon at the rate of 10.5% per annum on the unpaid balance (the "Note"). The terms of the Note provided for monthly installments of interest only until the Maturity Date of May 1, 2019, at which time the Note required a balloon payment of the lesser of $1,151,000.00 and the unpaid principal balance, in addition to any unpaid interest, costs and fees. A copy of said Note is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
4. As a part of this same loan transaction, Defendants Tonya Weathers ("Weathers") and James Peterson ("Peterson") executed a Guaranty in favor of Plaintiff dated April 6, 2018, securing payment of the Note and all indebtedness due thereunder (the "Guaranty"). A copy of said Guaranty is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B" and made a part hereof as if incorporated herein in full.
5. That in order to secure payment of the Note, the Defendant, Banyan Strategies LLC executed a mortgage in favor of Plaintiff, which was recorded April 20, 2018 in Book 2276 at Page 456 in the records of the Beckham County Clerk with all mortgage tax due thereon fully paid (the "Mortgage").

7. Defendant, Banyan Strategies, LLC is a Texas limited liability company wholly owned, managed and operated by Defendants Weathers and Peterson.
8. Defendant, Banyan OK, LLC is an Oklahoma limited liability company wholly owned, managed and operated by Defendants Weathers and Peterson. This Defendant was the record owner of the Subject Property at the time the Mortgage was executed, having acquired title to said Property pursuant to a Warranty Deed from Shree Swaminarayan, LLC, recorded January 22, 2018 in Book 2271 at Page 0290 in the records of the Beckham County Clerk. A copy of said Deed is attached hereto, marked Exhibit “D”, and incorporated herein by reference.
9. At all times from loan application through funding of the loan, it was intended by all parties to the transaction that the Subject Property would serve as the collateral to secure repayment of the Note. However, due to mutual error and mistake of the parties and/or their agents, the Mortgage executed by Banyan Strategies, LLC did not preserve or give effect to said intention.
10. The original loan application was submitted to Plaintiff by the record property owner, Banyan OK, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company owned, controlled and managed by Defendants Weathers and Peterson. Defendants Weathers and Peterson later decided to borrow the funds in the name of Banyan Strategies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company they also owned, controlled and managed. A subsequent loan application by this entity was approved, with the understanding that Banyan OK, LLC would have to deed the Subject Property to Banyan Strategies, LLC prior to execution of the Mortgage and funding of the loan.
11. However, due to the mutual mistake of the parties and their agents, there was no deed executed prior to, or at the time of closing, transferring title between the two limited liability companies owned and controlled by Weathers and Peterson. In order to give effect to the parties intention that the Mortgage stand as security for payment of the Note, the Mortgage should be reformed to substitute Banyan OK, LLC (the true and correct owner of the Subject Property), as Mortgagor in place of, Banyan Strategies LLC. Moreover, Plaintiff will lose the benefit for which it bargained and provided consideration (collateral to secure payment of the Note) through no fault of its own, absent such relief.
12. Reformation of the Mortgage, to rectify the mutual mistake of the parties (including Weathers and Peterson as owners of both entities and Guarantors of the Note) is well within the equitable powers of the Court. Plaintiff therefore prays that the Court exercise its equitable powers to reform and correct the Mortgage to substitute Banyan OK LLC, the record owner of the Subject Property, as Mortgagor thereunder.
13. In the alternative, Plaintiff urges the Court to find that the facts set forth above demonstrate that an equitable lien should be imposed upon the Subject Property owned by Defendant Banyan OK, LLC. Oklahoma case law provides for the establishment of equitable liens in order to give effect to the intention of parties to an agreement. In Mullens vs. C. Wright Lumber Company, 77 P.2d 700, the Oklahoma Supreme Court was asked to approve imposition of an equitable lien on funds escrowed by the lessee of an oil well to pay claims by individuals furnishing goods and services to said Lessee. In its opinion, the Court noted that there are two circumstances where such equitable liens might properly be imposed:
(1) "those implied and declared by a court of equity out of general considerations of right and justice as applied to the relation of the parties and circumstances of their dealings, and (2) those that arise from a contract to charge a particular piece of property with a debt or obligation…".
14. The facts herein demonstrate that Plaintiff would be entitled to imposition of an equitable lien under either of the two theories. The parties to the loan which is the subject of this action clearly intended that Plaintiff have an enforceable mortgage as security for repayment of the funds advanced to Banyan Strategies, LLC (and payment thereof guaranteed by Defendants Weathers and Peters). In addition, the Mortgage clearly demonstrates the intent of the parties to encumber a particular piece of real property (ie, the Subject Property) with a lien in order to secure repayment of the Note. Plaintiff therefore urges the Court to establish and impose an equitable lien upon the Subject Property, and that said lien be subject to foreclosure by Plaintiff in order to repay the indebtedness set forth in the Note, and which would have been secured by the Mortgage but for the mutual mistakes of the parties referenced above.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, Plaintiff prays for an Order of the Court reforming the Mortgage to substitute Banyan OK, LLC, true owner of the Subject Property as Mortgagor thereunder; or in the alternative, Plaintiff prays for an Order of the Court imposing an
equitable lien in favor of Plaintiff upon the Subject Property, which may be foreclosed, and for such other, further and additional relief as this Court deems just and proper in the premises.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
COMES NOW the Plaintiff, and for its Second Cause of Action first realleges and restates its first cause of action and for further action alleges and states:
15. That Banyon Strategies, LLC maker of the note, executed the Mortgage to Plaintiff, which was dated April 6, 2018 and recorded April 20, 2018 in the Office of the Beckham County Clerk, in Book No. 2276, at Page 456. A written Guaranty that all conditions of the Note (including payment in full of the principal in the amount of $1,151,000.00 plus interest and any other sums due thereunder) was also executed on April 6, 2018 by Defendants Tonya Weathers and James Peterson, owners and managers of Banyan Strategies, LLC and Banyan OK, LLC.
16. By the terms and conditions of said Note and Mortgage now held by the Plaintiff, it is specifically provided that the occurrence of any Event of Default, (including failure to pay any installment due under said Note and Mortgage), the entire amount principal balance of the Note together with interest and all other sums due thereunder, shall at once become due and payable at the option of the Note holder.
17. Plaintiff further states that said payment was due, according to the terms of said Note on April 1, 2019, which said payment has not been made; the subsequent payments due on said Note have not been paid, and Plaintiff, as the holder of said note, has elected to declare the entire balance due and payable; there is now due on said Note and Mortgage the principal sum of $1,084,110.00 with accrued interest thereon, plus interest accruing at the rate of 10.5% per annum from March 1, 2019, until paid, as provided for in said Note and Mortgage. Plaintiff has demanded the payment of the same but the Defendant Banyan Strategies, LLC as well the Guarantors Weathers and Peterson have failed, refused and neglected to pay such amounts due.
18. Plaintiff further states that by reason of the default of said Defendants, the conditions of said Note and Mortgage have been broken; that the whole amount of the indebtedness thereby secured has matured and is now due and payable, together with interest thereon. By reason of the default aforesaid, Plaintiff has been required to pay abstracting charges and will be required to pay other title search expenses during the pendency of this action, and
Plaintiff as provided in the Note and Mortgage, is entitled to reimbursement for these costs, the costs of preservation, and the costs of this suit and of collection including a reasonable attorney's fee.
19. Plaintiff has complied with all provisions of the mortgage including provisions relating to notice of default and is thus entitled to foreclosure of the Mortgage and to a decree of this Court that its mortgage lien is a first and prior lien thereon and that the same should be sold to satisfy the indebtedness due Plaintiff herein.
20. That after allowing all just credits, there is due to Plaintiff on said Note and Mortgage the sum of $1,084,110.00, with accrued interest thereon, plus interest accruing at the rate of 10.5% per annum from March 1, 2019, until paid; abstracting expense, accrued and accruing; insurance and preservation expenses accrued and accruing, bankruptcy fees and costs, if any; a reasonable attorney's fee provided for in said Note and Mortgage, and Plaintiff's costs; and all necessary funds advanced by Plaintiff accrued and accruing hereafter through completion of this action, for which said amounts said Mortgage is a first, prior and superior lien upon the Subject Property.
21. That the Defendant, Shree Swaminarayan, LLC may claim some right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, or interest in and to the Subject Property on account of a defective deed attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and on account of an unreleased mortgage recorded January 22, 2018 in Book 2271 at page 295 in the records of the Beckham County Clerk. A copy of said mortgage is attached hereto as Exhibit “E” and incorporated herein by reference. Plaintiff prays to the Court that the said Defendant, Shree Swaminarayan, LLC, be summoned in this case and be required to set up in this suit any right, title or interest claimed in and to the Subject Property or be forever barred from claiming any right in and to the said real estate.
22. That the Defendant, Occupants of the Premises, may claim some right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment, or interest in and to the real property involved herein, for and on account of tenancy. Plaintiff states, however, that any right, title, or interest claimed by said Defendant, Occupants of the Premises, is subordinate and inferior to the mortgage lien claimed by the Plaintiff, and this Plaintiff prays to the Court that the said Defendant, Occupants of the Premises, be summoned in this case and be required to set up in this
suit any right, title or interest claimed in and to the lands involved in this action or be forever barred from claiming any right in and to the said real estate.
23. That the Defendants, Treasurer of Beckham County, State of Oklahoma and Board of County Commissioners of the County of Beckham, State of Oklahoma, may claim some right, title, lien, estate, encumbrance, claim, assessment, or interest in and to the real property involved herein, for and on account of taxes. Plaintiff states, however, that any right, title, or interest claimed by said Defendants, Treasurer of Beckham County, State of Oklahoma and Board of County Commissioners of the County of Beckham, State of Oklahoma, is subordinate and inferior to the mortgage lien claimed by the Plaintiff, and this Plaintiff prays to the Court that the said Defendants, Treasurer of Beckham County, State of Oklahoma and Board of County Commissioners of the County of Beckham, State of Oklahoma, be summoned in this case and be required to set up in this suit any right, title or interest claimed in and to the lands involved in this action or be forever barred from claiming any right in and to the said real estate.
19. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The creditor signed has employed the below law firm to collect the amount of debt, together with any other costs and expenses allowed under the Note and the Mortgage. Prior to the filing of this action and in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act the Plaintiff's attorney has mailed Debt Verification Notices to the last known addresses of the debtor.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, Plaintiff prays that it have judgment as prayed for in its First Cause of Action, that the Court utilize its equitable powers to reform the Mortgage to substitute Banyan OK, LLC as Mortgagor thereunder, or alternatively, to impose an Equitable Lien on the Subject Property (foreclosable by the Plaintiff), in order to preserve and give effect to the intention of the parties hereto that the Subject Property stand as security for repayment of all sums due under the Note.
Plaintiff further prays that it have judgment in personam, of and from the Defendants, Banyan Strategies LLC, Tonya Weathers and James Peterson; and judgment, in rem, of and from the Defendants, Banyan Strategies LLC, Banyan OK, LLC, Tonya Weathers and James Peterson, in the amount of $1,084,110.00 with accrued interest thereon, plus interest accruing at the rate of 10.5% per annum from March 1, 2019, until paid, abstracting expense, accrued and accruing; insurance and preservation expenses accrued and accruing; bankruptcy fees and costs, if any; a reasonable attorney's fee provided for in the Note and Mortgage, and Plaintiff's costs;
and all necessary funds advanced by Plaintiff accrued and accruing hereafter through completion of this action.
And a further judgment against all of the Defendants, adjudging;
That said Mortgage be reformed or an equitable lien be imposed to give effect to the intentions of the parties that the Subject Property secure payment of the Note, that the Mortgage be foreclosed and that the same be declared a valid first and prior lien upon the Subject Property, for and in the amount set forth, and order the said real estate and premises sold, with or without appraisement, as the Plaintiff shall elect at the time judgment is rendered herein; and as provided in said Mortgage, and by law, subject to unpaid taxes, if any, to satisfy said judgment and the proceeds therefrom applied to the payment of the costs herein and payment and satisfaction of the judgment, mortgage and lien of this Plaintiff, and that the surplus, if any, be paid into Court, to abide the further order of the Court;
That all of said Defendants be required to appear and set forth any right, title, claim or interest which they have or may have in and to said real estate and premises, which they, in any way claim, is prior or superior to the mortgage and lien of this Plaintiff;
That the Court adjudicate that all of said claims are subject, junior and inferior to the Mortgage, lien and judgment of this Plaintiff; and that upon confirmation of said sale, the Defendants herein and each of them, and all persons claiming by, through or under them, since the commencement of this action, be forever barred, foreclosed and enjoined from asserting or claiming any right, title, interest, estate or equity of redemption in and to the Subject Property or any part thereof;
That this Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable.

NOTARY PUBLIC
PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY MORTGAGE/DEED OF TRUST
(Interest-Only Payments / Balloon Payment / Draws)
THE LOAN (THE "LOAN") EVIDENCED BY THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY MORTGAGE OR DEED OF TRUST (THIS "NOTE") IS PAYABLE IN FULL AT MATURITY. YOU MUST REPAY THE ENTIRE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE LOAN AND UNPAID INTEREST THEN DUE. LENDER IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO REFINANCE THE LOAN AT THAT TIME. YOU WILL, THEREFORE, BE REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENT OUT OF OTHER ASSETS THAT YOU MAY OWN, OR YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND A LENDER WILLING TO LEND YOU THE MONEY. IF YOU REFINANCE THIS LOAN AT MATURITY, YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY SOME OR ALL OF THE CLOSING COSTS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH A NEW LOAN EVEN IF YOU OBTAIN REFINANCING FROM THE SAME LENDER.
$1,151,000.00 Date: April 6, 2018
Property Address: 102 Hughes Access Road, Elk City, OK, 73644
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Banyan Strategies, LLC ("Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to PATCH OF LAND LENDING, LLC, or order ("Lender"), the principal sum of One Million One Hundred Fifty-One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,151,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note, as follows:
1. Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal balance will accrue from the date the proceeds have been distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower (the "Date of Advance") at an annual rate equal to Ten and 50/100 percent (10.50%). Interest shall be computed based on a 360-day year and 30-day months. Interest computed based on a 360-day year is greater than interest computed based on a 365-day year.
2. Payment of Principal and Interest.
2.1 Payments. Interest-only payments shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments on the First day of each month beginning on June 1, 2018. Such payments shall be interest-only calculated based on the currently disbursed amount of the loan, and the final monthly payment amount shall continue, subject to additional default rates and late fees, until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees are fully paid, with any unpaid principal and interest due and payable on May 1, 2019 (the "Maturity Date"). Payments due under the Note shall be made in U.S. currency. However, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under this Note or Mortgage/Deed of Trust is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under this Note and the Mortgage/Deed of Trust be made in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds Transfer.
2.2 Balloon Payment. The interest-only payment schedule contained in this loan requires that Borrower make a balloon payment of the lesser of $1,151,000.00 and the unpaid
principal balance, in addition to any unpaid interest, costs and fees. This balloon payment is more than double the amount of the regular payments.
2.3 Partial Payments. Payments are deemed received by Lender when received at the location designated in paragraph 11, or at such other location as may be designated by Lender in accordance with the notice provisions in paragraph 11. Lender may return any payment or partial payment if the payment or partial payments are insufficient to bring the Loan current or to satisfy the requirements in paragraph 2.2. Lender may accept any payment or partial payment insufficient to bring the Loan current or release any property secured by any mortgage/deed of trust, without waiver of any rights hereunder or prejudice to its rights to refuse such payment or partial payments in the future, but Lender is not obligated to apply such payments at the time such payments are accepted. Lender may hold such unapplied funds in a non-interest bearing account until Borrower makes payment to bring the Loan current. If Borrower does not do so within a reasonable period of time, Lender shall either apply such funds or return them to Borrower. If not applied earlier, such funds will be applied to the outstanding principal balance under the Note immediately prior to foreclosure or final loan repayment. No offset or claim which Borrower might have now or in the future against Lender shall relieve Borrower from making payments due under this Note and the Mortgage/Deed of Trust or performing the covenants and agreements secured by the Mortgage/ Deed of Trust.
2.4 Order of Application of Payments. Each payment under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (a) costs, fees, charges, and advances paid or incurred by Lender or payable to Lender and interest under any provision of this Note or the Mortgage/Deed of Trust, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, (b) interest payable under the Note, and (c) principal under the Note.
2.5 Delivery of Payments. Payments shall be made to Lender by preauthorized Automated Clearinghouse transactions ("ACH") to an account determined by Lender or by such other reasonable method as Lender directs.
3. Late Charge. Borrower acknowledges that default in the payment of any sum due under this Note will result in losses and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations. Borrower further acknowledges that the extent of such loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any payment due under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days when due, a charge of eighteen cents ($0.18) for each dollar ($1.00) that is not paid when due would be a reasonable estimate of expenses so incurred (the "Late Charge"). Without prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Borrower shall pay the Late Charge to Lender as liquidated damages to cover expenses incurred in handling such delinquent payment.
4. Default. On (a) Borrower's failure to pay any installment or other sum due under this Note when due and payable (whether by extension, acceleration, or otherwise), (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Mortgage/Deed of Trust), or (c) any breach of any other promise or obligation in this Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, declare this Note (including, without limitation, all accrued interest) due and payable immediately regardless of the Maturity Date. Borrower expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option.
5. Prepayment Premium. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time. If the box below is checked, Borrower will be charged a prepayment penalty for prepayment prior to the date specified. Please refer to the Prepayment Penalty Addendum for details:
Prepayment Penalty Addendum [ ]
6. Interest on Default. If Borrower is in default under this Note, as that event is contemplated under paragraph 4 of this Note, or defaults under any other clause of any document associated with this Note, then the entire unpaid principal balance shall automatically bear an annual interest rate (instead of the rate specified in paragraph 1) equal to the lesser of (a) Twenty-Four percent (24 %) or (b) the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the "Default Rate"). If the Maturity Date is accelerated pursuant to Paragraph 4, the unpaid principal shall accrue interest at the Default Rate only until the default is cured and the Mortgage/Deed of Trust is reinstated. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it would be extremely difficult or impractical to fix the actual damages resulting from Borrower's failure to pay the principal, accrued interest and other sums due on the Maturity Date, and therefore Borrower shall pay interest at the Default Rate not as a penalty, but for purposes of defraying the expenses incident to handling the past due principal, accrued interest and other sums due under this Promissory Note. Interest at the Default Rate represents the reasonable estimate of the loss that may be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to pay the principal, accrued interest and other sums due on the Maturity Date. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable by Borrower without prejudice to the rights of Lender to collect any other amounts to be paid under this Promissory Note (including, without limitation, late charges pursuant to Paragraph 3, above) or the Mortgage/Deed of Trust.
7. Interest on Interest. If any interest payment under this Note is not paid when due, the unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of this Note, shall become and be treated as principal, and shall thereafter bear like interest.
8. Due-on-Sale. If Borrower sells, conveys, assigns or otherwise transfers (a) all or any part of the Property, (b) any interest in the Property, or (c) any of the ownership interests of Borrower, whether any such sale, conveyance, assignment or other transfer occurs directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender (which may be withheld in Lender's sole and absolute discretion), then Lender may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accelerate the Maturity Date and declare the entire unpaid principal, accrued interest and other sums due hereunder to be immediately due and payable.
9. Attorney Fees.

If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable or void; but the power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. Borrower waives any conflict of interest that an attorney
hired by Lender may have in acting on behalf of Borrower in confessing judgment against Borrower while such attorney is retained by Lender. Borrower expressly consents to such confessing attorney acting for Borrower in confessing judgment, and consents to Lender paying such confessing attorney a legal fee or allowing such attorney’s fees to be paid from any proceeds of collection of the Note. If Borrower is jointly and severally liable under the Loan Documents, then this warrant of attorney to confess judgment is a joint and several warrant of attorney.

Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney may do by virtue of this warrant. If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable or void; but the power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. Borrower waives any conflict of interest that an attorney hired by Lender may have in acting on behalf of Borrower in confessing judgment against Borrower while such attorney is retained by Lender.

If Borrower is jointly and severally liable under the Loan Documents, then this warrant of attorney to confess judgment is a joint and several warrant of attorney.

If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable or void; but the power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. Borrower waives any conflict of interest that an attorney hired by Lender may have in acting on behalf of Borrower in confessing judgment against Borrower while such attorney is retained by Lender. Borrower expressly consents to such confessing attorney acting for Borrower in confessing judgment, and consents to Lender paying such confessing attorney a legal fee or allowing such attorney’s fees to be paid from
any proceeds of collection of the Note. If Borrower is jointly and severally liable under the Loan Documents, then this warrant of attorney to confess judgment is a joint and several warrant of attorney.
d) NEW JERSEY. Cognovit Provisions. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes any Attorney-at-Law to appear in any Court of record situated in the county where Borrower then resides, or in the county where either one or more Borrowers signed this warrant after this Note becomes due, with or without declaration filed, and each and all waive the issuance and service of process, enter appearance and confess or enter a judgment or a series of judgments against Borrower(s) in favor of the Holder of this Note, for the amount then appearing due, together with all costs of suit, reasonable attorney's fees for collection and all legal and litigation expenses, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all claims, rights of appeal and stay of execution and for so doing, this Note or a copy thereof verified by Affidavit, shall be a sufficient warrant.

In its sole discretion, Lender may use the Construction Reserve to protect its Deed of Trust or to pay down the principal amount owed on the Loan.
2. Conditions Precedent to Advance. Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall have no requirement to hold the Construction Reserve in a separated segregated account.

Borrower shall be responsible for all inspection fees by Lender or Lender's agents.
(j) Borrower shall be in full compliance and shall not be in default under this Note or under any of the loan documents, provided, however, that Lender may, in its discretion, elect to make advances despite the existence of a default, and any advance so made shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement and shall be secured by the loan documents.
(k) Neither the improvements, to the extent then constructed, nor all or any part of the Property shall have been materially damaged, destroyed, condemned, or threatened with condemnation.

Upon the maturity of the Note, any remaining funds in the Construction Reserve shall be credited against amounts due under the Note (subject to any prepayment premium, if applicable), in such order as Lender may determine. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender shall have (i) the rights enumerated above; (ii) all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code; or (iii) the right to exercise all remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise available in law or in equity.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. In addition to the covenants and agreements made in the Note, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:
Interest Reserve.
Out of the Loan proceeds, Lender will hold in reserve the sum of Eighty Thousand and 00/100 ($80,000.00) as an interest reserve (the "Interest Reserve"). The Interest Reserve shall be deposited in a non-interest bearing account.
Lender will use the Interest Reserve to pay the monthly interest-only payments due for the period from June 1, 2018 or other delinquent interest amounts owed until the entire amount of the Interest Reserve has been exhausted. Thereafter, Borrower shall pay the monthly installment payments directly to Lender, or to Lender's servicing agent, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2 of the Note.
Should Lender be required to utilize the Interest Reserve for anything other than the payment of interest payments as set forth herein, Borrower shall be required to replenish funds in the Interest Reserve. The failure to replenish the Interest Reserve upon five (5) business days written notice by Lender to Borrower shall be an Event of Default under the Note and Deed of Trust/Mortgage.
Upon an Event of Default, Lender may use the Interest Reserve to protect its Deed of Trust/Mortgage, by: (i) making interest payments hereunder, (ii) making protective advances under the Deed of Trust/Mortgage, or (iii) paying down the principal amount owed on the Loan, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.
By signing below, Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms and covenants contained in this Addendum to Promissory Note.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and of the Lender agreeing to make the Loan to Borrower, and other valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, Guarantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender as follows:
1. Incorporation. Each of the foregoing recitals to this Agreement are true and correct, each are to be incorporated herein as an integral part hereof, and each shall be considered as substantive
and not precatory language. The Note, Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Guaranty by reference thereto with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein and, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents are true and correct.
2. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument.
3. Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely, guarantees to Lender the due and prompt payment, and not just the collectability, of all amounts and the due and prompt performance by Borrower of all obligations for which the Borrower has recourse liability to Lender under the terms of the Note (the payment and performance of the items set forth in this Section being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Indebtedness Guaranteed"). Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, the term Indebtedness Guaranteed shall mean and include:
a. the repayment of the Loan and all interest thereon;
b. the prompt and complete payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower to construct and complete the Project in substantial accordance with the all requirements of the Project Agreements, free and clear of all material defects and liens and in material compliance with all laws, rules, permits, requirements and regulations of any governmental authority and in accordance with the approved budget;
c. the payment and performance (as applicable) of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents;
d. the payment of all other Indebtedness (as such term is used and defined in the Security Instrument); and
e. the payment of all costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses, incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty.
4. Survival of Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive any Foreclosure Event, and any recorded release or reconveyance of the Security Instrument or any release of any other security for any of the Indebtedness.
5. Guaranty of Payment; Community Property. Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty constitute a present and unconditional guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection. If Guarantor (or any Guarantor, if more than one) is a married person, and the state of residence of Guarantor or Guarantor's spouse is a community property jurisdiction, Guarantor (or each such married Guarantor, if more than one) agrees that Lender may satisfy Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty to the extent of all Guarantor's separate property and Guarantor's interest in any community property.
6. Obligations Unsecured; Cross-Default. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. However,
a default under this Guaranty shall be an Event of Default under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and a default under this Guaranty shall entitle Lender to be able to exercise all of its rights and remedies thereunder.
7. Continuing Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any provision of this Guaranty, the Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Guarantor agrees that performance of the obligations hereunder shall be a primary obligation, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, abatement, deferment or defense based upon any claim that Guarantor may have against Lender, Borrower, any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder or any other person or entity, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or affected in any way by any circumstance or condition (whether or not Guarantor shall have any knowledge thereof), including:
a. any furnishing, exchange, substitution or release of any collateral securing repayment of the Loan, or any failure to perfect any lien in such collateral;
b. any failure, omission or delay on the part of Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder or Lender to conform or comply with any term of any of the Loan Documents or failure of Lender to give notice of any Event of Default;
c. any action or inaction by Lender under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents, any failure, lack of diligence, omission or delay on the part of Lender to perfect, enforce, assert or exercise any lien, security interest, right, power or remedy conferred upon it in any of the Loan Documents, or any other action or inaction on the part of Lender;
d. any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar events or proceedings with respect to Guarantor or any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder, or any of their respective property or creditors or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in such proceeding;
e. any merger or consolidation of Borrower into or with any entity or any sale, lease or transfer of any asset of Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder to any other Person;
f. any change in the ownership of Borrower or any change in the relationship between Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder, or any termination of such relationship;
g. any release or discharge by operation of law of Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the obligations hereunder, or any obligation or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents; or
h. any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether seen or unforeseen, which otherwise might constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety
or which otherwise might limit recourse against Borrower or Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8. Guarantor Waivers. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives:
a. the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty (and agrees that Guarantor's obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Guaranty, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor);
b. the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties and any other rights of sureties and guarantors;
c. diligence in collecting the Indebtedness, presentment, demand for payment, protest and all notices with respect to the Loan Documents and this Guaranty which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve Lender's rights against Guarantor under this Guaranty, including notice of acceptance, notice of any amendment of the Loan Documents, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, notice of foreclosure, notice of protest and notice of the incurring by Borrower of any obligation or indebtedness; and
d. all rights to require Lender to:
i. proceed against or exhaust any collateral held by Lender to secure the repayment of the Indebtedness;

iii. demand or require collateral security from Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person as provided by applicable law or otherwise.
e. To the extent not addressed elsewhere by this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits, rights and/or defenses which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under the following sections of the California Civil Code: Section 2809 (the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal), Section 2810 (a surety is not liable if, for any reason other than the mere personal disability of the principal, there is no liability upon the part of the principal at the time of execution of the contract, or the liability of the principal thereafter ceases), Section 2819 (a surety is exonerated if the creditor alters the original obligation of the principal without the consent of the surety), Section 2822 (a surety's right to have the principal designate the portion of any obligation to be satisfied by the surety in the event that the principal provides partial satisfaction of such obligation), Section 2845 (a surety is exonerated to the extent that the creditor fails to proceed against the principal, or to pursue any other remedy in the creditor's power which the surety cannot pursue and which would lighten the surety's burden), Section 2846 (a surety may compel the principal
to perform the obligation when due), Section 2847 (if a surety satisfies the principal obligation, or any part thereof, the principal is obligated to reimburse the surety for the amounts paid by the surety), Section 2850 (whenever the property of a surety is hypothecated with property of the principal, the surety is entitled to have the property of the principal first applied to the discharge of the obligation), Section 2899 (where one has a lien upon several things, and other persons have subordinate liens upon, or interests in, some but not all of the same things, the person having the prior lien, if he can do so without risk of loss to himself, or of injustice to other persons, must resort to the property in a certain order, on the demand of any party interested) and Section 3433 (where a creditor is entitled to resort to each of several funds for the satisfaction of his claim, and another person has an interest in, or is entitled as a creditor to resort to some, but not all of them, the latter may require the former to seek satisfaction from those funds to which the latter has no such claim, so far as it can be done without impairing the right of the former to complete satisfaction, and without doing injustice to third persons).
f. To the extent not addressed elsewhere by this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly agrees not to exercise or take advantage of any rights, benefits and/or defenses which might be available to Guarantor under the following California Civil Code Sections, unless and until the guaranteed obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full: Section 2839 (performance of the principal obligation, or an offer of such performance, duly made as provided in the Civil Code, exonerates a surety), Section 2848 (a surety, upon satisfaction of the obligation of the principal, is entitled to enforce remedies which the creditor then has against the principal and to pursue his co-sureties or other third parties after the surety has satisfied the underlying debt, or at least more than his share of it), and Section 2849 (a surety is entitled to the benefit of security held by the creditor for the performance of the principal obligation held by the creditor).
g. Guarantor waives any defense that Guarantor may have by reason of the failure of Lender to provide Guarantor with any material facts about Borrower, including any information respecting the financial condition of Borrower, Borrower’s ability to perform the Loan obligations or the sufficiency of Lender’s security.
h. Guarantor waives any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person, or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons.
i. To the extent applicable to Guarantor, Guarantor waives all rights of indemnification and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code. Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of any right of discharge under any and all statutes or other laws relating to guarantors or sureties and any other rights of guarantors or sureties thereunder.
j. To the extent applicable to Guarantor, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the debtor’s (Borrower’s) debt is secured by real property. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the debtor’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses
include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. This means, among other things:
i. The creditor (Lender) may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the debtor.
ii. If the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the debtor: (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the creditor may collect from Guarantor even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from the debtor.
k. To the extent applicable to Guarantor, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, 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 (Borrower) by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
l. Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that might arise out of the use of a single purpose entity as the Borrower, where Guarantor is its sole or managing member/shareholder.
m. Any summary of statutory provisions is for convenience only, and Guarantor has read and is familiar with the entirety of such provisions.
9. No Effect Upon Obligations. At any time or from time to time and any number of times, without notice to Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or affecting the liability of Guarantor:
a. the time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness may be extended or the Indebtedness may be renewed in whole or in part;
b. the rate of interest on or period of amortization of the Loan or the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payments payable under the Loan Documents may be modified;
c. the time for Borrower's performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be extended or such performance or compliance may be waived;
d. the maturity of the Indebtedness may be accelerated as provided in the Loan Documents;
e. any or all payments due under the Note or any other Loan Document may be reduced;
f. any Loan Document may be modified or amended by Lender and Borrower in any respect, including an increase in the principal amount of the Loan;
g. any amounts under the Note or any other Loan Document may be released;
h. any security for the Indebtedness may be modified, exchanged, released, surrendered or otherwise dealt with or additional security may be pledged or mortgaged for the Indebtedness;
i. the payment of the Indebtedness or any security for the Indebtedness, or both, may be subordinated to the right to payment or the security, or both, of any other present or future creditor of Borrower;
j. any payments made by Borrower to Lender may be applied to the Indebtedness in such priority as Lender may determine in its discretion; and
k. any other terms of the Loan Documents may be modified as required by Lender.
10. Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person executes this Guaranty as Guarantor, such Persons shall be liable for the obligations hereunder on a joint and several basis. Lender, in its discretion, may:
a. to the extent permitted by applicable law, bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, and any other guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them;
b. compromise or settle with any one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any other guarantor, for such consideration as Lender may deem proper;
c. discharge or release one or more of the Persons constituting Guarantor, or any other guarantor, from liability or agree not to sue such Person; and
d. otherwise deal with Guarantor and any guarantor, or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of Lender to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall in any way affect or impair the rights or obligations of Guarantor with respect to any other guarantor.
11. Subordination of Affiliated Debt. Any indebtedness of Borrower held by Guarantor now or in the future is and shall be subordinated to the Indebtedness and any such indebtedness of Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor, as trustee for Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
12. Subrogation. Guarantor shall have no right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation or reimbursement against Borrower or any general partner of Borrower by reason of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute, until the Indebtedness has been paid in full and there has expired the maximum possible period thereafter during which any payment made by Borrower to Lender with respect to the Indebtedness could be deemed a preference under the Insolvency Laws.
13. Voidable Transfer. If any payment by Borrower is held to constitute a preference under any Insolvency Laws or similar laws, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund any sums to Borrower, such refund shall not constitute a release of any liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by Guarantor's performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. If any payment by any Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the Insolvency Laws relating to a Voidable Transfer, and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored by the amount of such Voidable Transfer or the amount of such Voidable Transfer that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, including all reasonable costs, expenses and legal fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made, and any other guarantor, if any, shall remain liable for such obligations in full.
14. Credit Report/Credit Score. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender is authorized, no more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period, to obtain a credit report (if applicable) on Guarantor, the cost of which shall be paid for by Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender is authorized to obtain a Credit Score (if applicable) for Guarantor at any time at Lender's expense.
15. Financial Reporting. To the extent required in the Security Instrument, Guarantor shall promptly deliver to Borrower all financial statements of Guarantor which Borrower is required by the Security Instrument to deliver to Lender, in time for Borrower to deliver the same to Lender on or before the date provided for the delivery thereof under the Security Instrument.
16. Further Assurances. Guarantor acknowledges that Lender (including its successors and assigns) may sell or transfer the Loan, or any interest in the Loan.
a. Guarantor shall, subject to Section 15b below:
i. do anything necessary to comply with the reasonable requirements of Lender or any Investor of the Loan or provide, or cause to be provided, to Lender or any Investor of the Loan within ten (10) days of the request, at Borrower's and Guarantor's cost and expense, such further documentation or information as Lender or Investor may reasonably require, in order to enable:

(B) Lender to obtain a refund of any commitment fee from any such Investor; or
(C) any such Investor to further sell or securitize the Loan;

iii. execute and deliver to Lender and/or any Investor such other documentation, including any amendments, corrections, deletions or additions to this Guaranty as is reasonably required by Lender or such Investor.
b. Nothing in this Section 15 shall require Guarantor to do any further act that has the effect of:
i. changing the essential economic terms of the Loan set forth in the related commitment letter between Borrower and Lender;
ii. imposing on Borrower or Guarantor greater personal liability under the Loan Documents than that set forth in the related commitment letter between Borrower and Lender; or
iii. materially changing the rights and obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the commitment letter.
17. Successors and Assigns. Lender may assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part and, upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. Guarantor may not assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without Lender's prior written consent and any such assignment shall be deemed void ab initio. The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties.
18. Final Agreement. Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the Loan Documents and this Guaranty. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Guaranty. Neither this Guaranty nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that agreement.
19. Governing Law. This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of all parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

The proceeds shall be held by Mortgagee for such purposes and will from time to time be disbursed by Mortgagee through a title company or other servicing agent acceptable to Mortgagee to defray the costs of such restoration or repair under such safeguards and controls as Mortgagee may require and in accordance with standard construction loan procedures. All costs and expenses associated with the disbursement of such proceeds shall be paid by Mortgagor. Prior to the payment or application of Insurance Proceeds or a condemnation or eminent domain award to the repair or restoration of the improvements upon the Premises, Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive the following:
(a) Evidence that no Event of Default exists under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, the Note, or other collateral security documents.
(b) Evidence that all requirements set out in Section 5.3 have been met.
(c) Satisfactory proof that such improvements will be fully restored free and clear of all liens, except the lien of this Mortgage. In the event such Insurance Proceeds or eminent domain award shall be insufficient to repair, restore or rebuild the said improvements, Mortgagor or its lessee shall deposit with Mortgagee, or a title company designated by Mortgagee, funds equaling such deficiency, which, together with the Insurance Proceeds or eminent domain award, shall be sufficient to restore, repair and rebuild the Premises.
(d) A statement of Mortgagor's architect, certifying the extent of the repair and restoration completed to the date thereof, and that such repairs, restoration and rebuilding have been performed to date in conformity with the plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee, together with appropriate evidence of payment for labor or materials furnished to the Premises, and total or partial lien waivers substantiating such payments.
(e) A waiver of subrogation from any insurer who claims that it has no claim as to Mortgagor or the then owner or other insured under the policy of insurance in question.
(f) Such performance and payment bonds, and such insurance, in such amounts, issued by such company or companies and in such forms and substance, as are required by Mortgagee.
In the event Mortgagor shall fail to commence and diligently pursue the restoration, repair or rebuilding of the improvements upon the Premises, then Mortgagee, at its option, and upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Mortgagor, may commence to restore, repair or rebuild the said improvements for or on behalf of said Mortgagor, and its tenants, and for such purpose, may perform all
necessary acts to accomplish such restoration, repair or rebuilding. In the event Insurance Proceeds or an eminent domain award shall exceed the amount necessary to complete the repair, restoration or the rebuilding of the improvements upon the Premises, such excess may, at Mortgagee's option, be applied on account of the last maturing installments of the Indebtedness, or be returned to Mortgagor. In the event Mortgagor shall fail to commence and diligently pursue the restoration, repair or rebuilding of the improvements upon the Premises, and if Mortgagee does not restore, repair or rebuild the said improvements as herein provided, then Mortgagee may, at its option, apply all or any part of the Insurance Proceeds or condemnation or eminent domain award on account of the last maturing installments of the Indebtedness whether then due or not.
ARTICLE VI
LEASES AND RENTS
Section 6.1. Leases. Mortgagor will, at its own cost and expense, perform, comply with and discharge all of the obligations of Mortgagor under any leases and use its best efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each obligation and undertaking of the respective tenants under any such leases and will appear in and defend, at its own cost and expense, any action or proceeding arising out of or in any manner connected with Mortgagor's interest in any leases of the Premises. Mortgagor will not borrow against, pledge or assign any rentals due under the leases, nor consent to a subordination or assignment of the interest of the tenants thereunder to any party other than Mortgagee, nor anticipate the rents thereunder for more than one (1) month in advance or reduce the amount of rents and other payments thereunder without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. A Permitted Lease is any Lease between Mortgagor and a tenant which (a) uses the standard form lease which has been delivered to and approved by the Mortgagee as the basis for all new Permitted Leases or renewals of existing Leases which would otherwise qualify as Permitted Leases without material modification unless such material modification has been approved in writing by the Mortgagee; (b) is for less than Ten percent (10%) of the square footage area of the Premises; (c) is for a term of Five (5) years or less (with no renewal options); (d) as to which Mortgagee is promptly furnished with a fully executed copy following execution thereof by Mortgagor and the named tenant and (e) is with an Arm's Length Tenant. As to any Lease which is not a Permitted Lease, the Mortgagor agrees that it will not modify, extend, renew, terminate, accept a surrender of or in any way alter the terms of such Leases nor waive, excuse, condone or in any manner release or discharge the tenants of or from their obligations, covenants and agreements to be performed without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. Mortgagor will not enter into any additional Leases which are not Permitted Leases of all or any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. Mortgagor may enter into and amend Permitted Leases without the prior written consent of Mortgagee on the conditions set out above. In addition, Mortgagor covenants and agrees that, with respect to all Leases: (a) it shall lease all space on the Premises at market rental rates unless approved in writing by the Mortgagee and (b) any action taken with respect to any lease shall be taken in the ordinary course of Mortgagor's business in conformance with commercially reasonable, prudent and sound business practice. Mortgagor will deliver copies of all Lease amendments and new Leases to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days after execution whether or not the prior written consent of the Mortgagee was required for such amendment or new lease. Mortgagee's approval of any new Lease or amendment for which Mortgagee's approval is required shall be deemed granted unless Mortgagee objects in writing within five (5) business days after Mortgagee's receipt of the proposed Lease or amendment.
Section 6.2. Mortgagee's Right to Perform Under Leases. Should Mortgagor fail to perform, comply with or discharge any obligations of Mortgagor under any lease of all or any part of the Premises
or should Mortgagee become aware of or be notified by any tenant under any such lease of a failure on the part of Mortgagor to so perform, comply with or discharge its obligations under said lease, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, and without further demand upon Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation contained in this Mortgage, remedy such failure, and Mortgagor agrees to repay upon demand all sums incurred by Mortgagee in remedying any such failure including, without limitation, Mortgagee's attorneys' fee together with interest at the Default Rate. All such sums, together with interest as aforesaid shall become so much additional Indebtedness, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve Mortgagor from any default hereunder.
Section 6.3. Assignment of Leases and Rents.
(a) Mortgagor does hereby unconditionally and absolutely sell, assign and transfer unto Mortgagee all of the leases, rents, issues, income and profits now due and which may hereafter become due under or by virtue of any lease, whether written or verbal, or any agreement or license for the use or occupancy of the Premises, whether now existing or entered into at any time during the term of this Mortgage, all guaranties of any lessee's obligations under any such lease and all security deposits, it being the intention of this Mortgage to establish an absolute transfer and assignment of all such leases and agreements and all of the rents and profits from the Premises and/or Mortgagor’s operation or ownership thereof unto Mortgagee and Mortgagor does hereby appoint irrevocably Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney in Mortgagor’s name and stead, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to collect all of said rents and profits; provided, Mortgagor is hereby given a license by Mortgagee to collect and retain such rents and profits unless and until an Event of Default exists under this Mortgage. Mortgagor assigns to Mortgagee all guarantees of lessee’s obligation under leases and all proceeds from settlements relating to terminations of leases and all claims for damages arising from rejection of any lease under the bankruptcy laws. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose the lien hereof or before or after sale thereunder or during any period of redemption existing by law, forthwith, upon demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall surrender to Mortgagee and Mortgagee shall be entitled to enter upon and take and maintain possession of the Premises and any leases thereunder and collect and retain any rents and profits from the Premises and hold, operate, manage and control the Premises and any such leases and to do such things in its discretion as may be deemed proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents and profits of the Premises and the performance of the tenants’ obligations under any leases of the Premises, with full power to cancel or terminate any lease for any cause or on any grounds which would entitle Mortgagor to cancel the same and to elect to disaffirm any lease made subsequent to this Mortgage or subordinated to the lien hereof. All rents and payments received by Mortgagor after Mortgagee has exercised any of its rights under this assignment shall be held by Mortgagor in trust for Mortgagee and shall be delivered to Mortgagee immediately without demand.
(b) Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of the landlord under any of said leases and Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all expenses, liability, loss or damage which it might incur under said leases or under or by reason of this Mortgage. Any amounts incurred by Mortgagee in connection with its rights hereunder, including costs, expenses and actual attorneys’ fees, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be additional Indebtedness and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand. Mortgagee may apply
any of said rents and profits received to the costs and expenses of collection, including receivers' fees and actual attorneys' fees, to the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and expenditures for the upkeep of the Premises, to the performance of the landlord's obligations under the lease, to the performance of any of Mortgagor's covenants hereunder, and to any Indebtedness in such order as Mortgagee may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Premises, the collection of such rents and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any Event of Default under this Mortgage nor in any way operate to prevent Mortgagee from pursuing any other remedy which it may now or hereafter have under the terms of this Mortgage nor shall it in any way be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession. The rights hereunder shall in no way be dependent upon and shall apply without regard to whether the Premises are in danger of being lost, materially injured or damaged or whether the Premises are adequate to discharge the Indebtedness. Mortgagor represents and agrees that no rent has been or will be paid by any person in possession of any portion of the Premises for more than one installment in advance and that the payment of none of the rents to accrue for any portion of the Premises has been or will be waived, released, reduced, discounted, or otherwise discharged or compromised by Mortgagor. Mortgagor waives any right of set off against any person in possession of any portion of the Premises. Mortgagor further agrees that Mortgagor will not execute or agree to any subsequent assignment of any of the rents or profits from the Premises without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. The rights contained herein are in addition to and shall be cumulative with the rights given in that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents (as the same may be amended, modified, restated or replaced from time to time, the "Assignment of Leases") dated of even date herewith from Mortgagor to Mortgagee, assigning any leases, rents and profits of the Premises. To the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Article 6, the terms of the Assignment of Leases shall control.
ARTICLE VII

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor, on behalf of Mortgagor and all other persons or entities acquiring any interest in the Premises subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, also hereby waives any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure pursuant to rights herein granted.

Upon any foreclosure or other sale of the Premises pursuant to the terms hereof, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Premises and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit against the purchase price.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Premises, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Premises unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.2 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in clause (i) or (ii) of Subsection 8.1(f) shall occur, the entire unpaid Indebtedness shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Mortgagee.
Section 8.3. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Premises, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Mortgagee pursuant to the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Indebtedness in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper.
Section 8.4. Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder or curing or being deemed to have cured any default hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Premises for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Premises or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Indebtedness, and the cost and expense thereof (including actual attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.4, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness and be secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee therefor.
Section 8.5. Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall be entitled to, as a matter of right, without notice and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor, or the existence of waste of the Premises or adequacy of the security of the Premises, and without giving bond, apply for the appointment of a receiver in accordance with the statutes and law made and provided for who shall have all the rights, powers and remedies as provided by such statute or law, and who shall from the date of its appointment through any period of redemption existing at law collect the Rents, manage the Premises so as to prevent waste, execute leases within or beyond the period of receivership, pay all expenses for normal maintenance of the Premises, and perform the terms of this Mortgage and apply the Rents to the payment of the expenses for maintenance of the Premises and to the costs and expenses of the receivership, including attorneys' fees, to the repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby and as further provided in the assignment of leases provision, whether contained in this Mortgage
or in a separate instrument. Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment. In the event of a conflict between this provision and any other provision of this Mortgage, this provision shall govern.
Section 8.6. Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to the rights available to a mortgagee of real property, Mortgagee shall also have all the rights, remedies and recourse available to a secured party under the Code including the right to proceed under the provisions of the Code governing default as to any Collateral as defined in this Mortgage which may be included on the Premises or which may be deemed nonrealty in a foreclosure of this Mortgage or to proceed as to such Collateral in accordance with the procedures and remedies available pursuant to a foreclosure of real estate.
Section 8.7. Right to Discontinue Proceedings. In the event Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under this Mortgage and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and in such event Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness in which case this Mortgage and all rights, remedies and recourse of Mortgagee shall continue as if such action or exercise of a right had not been invoked.
Section 8.8. Waivers. Mortgagor also waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereinafter be enacted providing for: (a) any appraisal before sale of any portion of the Premises, and (b) in any way extending the time for the enforcement and collection of the Note or this Mortgage or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so under applicable law, 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 enforced providing for any appraisal, evaluation, stay, extension or redemption and Mortgagor, to the extent permitted by law, waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisal, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of this Mortgage and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of Mortgagee's right to demand payment of the balance due, or any other rights of Mortgagee at that time or any subsequent time.
Section 8.9. Default Interest and Late Charges. Mortgagor acknowledges that, without limitation to any of Mortgagee's rights or remedies set forth in this Mortgage, Mortgagee has the right following an Event of Default to demand interest on the principal amount of the Note at the Default Rate and late payment charges in accordance with the terms of the Note.
Section 8.10. Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage, the Note and any other Loan Document and the warranties contained herein or therein shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively or together at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, may be exercised as often as occasion for their exercise shall occur and in no event shall the failure to exercise any such right or remedy be construed as a waiver or release of such right or remedy. No remedy under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy provided in this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document or provided by law, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
Section 8.11. Mortgagor Not Released. No delay or omission by Mortgagee in the exercise of any rights or remedies arising under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document at any time following the happening of an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of the right of Mortgagee to exercise such rights and remedies at a later time by reason of such Event of Default or by reason of any subsequently occurring Event of Default.

REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE WITH POWER OF SALE
SHREE SWAMINARAYAN, LLC.
3840 Innisbrook Drive N.
Irving, TX 75038
Know All Persons By These Presents, that BANYAN OK, LLC., a Oklahoma limited liability company, of 102 B J Hughes Access Road, Elk City, OK 73644 (hereinafter called Mortgagor), hereby mortgages to SHREE SWAMINARAYAN, L.L.C., a Oklahoma limited liability company, of 3840 Innisbrook Drive No., Irving, Dallas County, Texas 75038, (hereinafter called Mortgagee, whether one or more, and which term shall be construed to include Mortgagee’s successors and assigns) the following described real property, to-wit:
SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT “A”
Together with all the buildings and other improvements located or constructed on the real estate, all fixtures, personal property used on or in the above real estate (collectively referred to as the "Mortgaged Property"). This Mortgage and assignments of rents, issues, profits and income derived from the Mortgaged Property creates a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and like kind future property from the time the Mortgage and assignment is granted even though enforcement of the assignment of rents, issues, profits and income may be delayed until default.
Mortgagor warrants the title to the Mortgaged Property.
The Mortgage is given to secure the payment and performance of all the following (collectively, the “Debt”):
(a) The indebtedness evidenced by the following described promissory Note(s) (the - “Note”, whether one or more) and any modifications, renewals or substitutions of the Note: A Note from Mortgagor, BANYAN OK, LLC, to Mortgagee, SHREE SWAMINARAYAN, L.L.C. for the sum of $800,000.00 dated December 7, 2017, with a final maturity date of December 7, 2020.
(b) All sums advanced or paid by Mortgagee on account of the failure of the Mortgagor to comply with the terms or covenants of this Mortgage or other documents signed by the Mortgagor:
(c) All future loans and advances and all future renewals of loans which Mortgagee or the Debtor identified in the Note, if different from Mortgagor (The “Debtor”); and all other debts, obligations and liabilities of every kind and character or Mortgagor or Debtor now existing, whether or not explicitly referred to, or arising in the future in favor of Mortgagee, whether direct or indirect, “absolute or contingent,” or “originally payable to Mortgagee or any other person and any renewals or extensions” provided, however, if the Mortgaged Property includes Mortgagor’s principal dwelling or is otherwise
a 1 to 4 family dwelling, the Mortgaged Property will not secure any future loan, advance, debt, obligation or liability taken or incurred principally for a personal, family or household purpose.
Mortgagor further agrees (a) to pay and discharge all taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Property before they become delinquent; (b) to keep all the Mortgaged Property and improvements insured and under policies which are acceptable to, and for the benefit of, the Mortgagee; (c) to cure all title defects or clouds on or claims against Mortgagor's title which may arise or be discovered; (d) to keep all the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair, and to repair or replace any damaged or destroyed Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor also agrees with respect to Mortgaged Property to comply with all environmental laws and regulations now in force or later promulgated and to disclose to Mortgagee at all times information regarding the environmental status of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants Mortgagee the right to acquire additional environmental information regarding the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor also grants Mortgagee or its agents a license to enter onto the Mortgaged Property and inspect it for any reason and further agrees to indemnify Mortgagee for any liability associated with the Mortgaged Property. The discovery of undisclosed environmental hazards on the Mortgaged Property may at option of Mortgagee be considered an Event of Default under this Mortgage. In the Event of the failure of the Mortgagor to fulfill the agreements of this paragraph, the Mortgagee may purchase insurance or pay taxes, assessments, or other liens and appropriate sums to protect the Mortgaged Property, and shall have a lien secured by this Mortgage and assignment for the amount of those sums with interest on those amounts at the maximum rate of interest on any part of the Debt secured by the Mortgage and assignment.
If the Mortgaged Property is Mortgagor's homestead and one of the Mortgagors is the spouse of another Mortgagor or the Borrower identified in the Note but is not obligated under the Note, and is only signing this Mortgage to satisfy the requirements of Title 16, Okla. Stat. §4 (which requires a spouse to sign a mortgage on homestead property), then such Mortgagor is not obligated under the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and is only signing this Mortgage to convey his or her interest in the Mortgaged Property.
If Mortgagee is required to give Mortgagor notice, notice mailed or delivered at least five (5) days before action is taken will be considered reasonable.
Mortgagor confers on Mortgagee or its attorney or agent the power to sell the Mortgaged Property and the interests of all persons in it in the manner provided in the Oklahoma Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act (Title 46 Okla. Stat. §40 et seq.). On the occurrence of an Event of Default (as described in this Mortgage) the Mortgagee may, at its option, accelerate payment of the Debt so that all the Debt shall be immediately due and payable and may either exercise the Power of Sale or foreclose this Mortgage in a judicial foreclosure. The following are considered "Events of Default": (a) any default in payment of the Debt or performance under the Note; (b) Mortgagor fails to perform any covenant
or agreement contained in this Mortgage or in any other indebtedness, obligation or agreement of the Mortgagor to Mortgagee or to another; (c) Mortgagor sells, conveys, transfers, hypothecates, or in any other manner ceases to be the owner or in possession of all or any portion of or interest in the Mortgaged Property, except as agreed by Mortgagee in writing or as permitted under applicable law; or (d) Mortgagee believes the prospect of payment under the Note is impaired or the Mortgaged Property is in jeopardy.
Subject to the provisions of the Oklahoma Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act, Mortgagee may accelerate payment of the Debt for the reasons stated in this Mortgage without notice to, or demand on, Mortgagor.
The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its lawful attorney in fact, with Power of Attorney in its name and stead to collect any income, rents, issues and profits arising from or accruing at any time that are due under each and all of the leases, contracts and agreements, written or verbal, now existing or existing in the future with reference to the Mortgaged Property with the same rights and powers and subject to the same immunities, exoneration of liability and rights of recourse and indemnity as the Mortgagor would have. As often as any action may be taken to foreclose this Mortgage, or to exercise rights under the Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act, the Mortgagor agrees to pay an attorney's fee to the Mortgagee equal to the greater of a sum of not less than 15% of the amount due or the incurred attorney's fee, in addition to the other sums due, which shall be secured by this Mortgage.
If there is a foreclosure of this Mortgage other than by Power of Sale, Mortgagor waives appraisement of the Mortgaged Property, unless Mortgagee seeks an appraisal. Appraisal shall be at the sole option of the Mortgagee, to be declared when the petition to foreclose is filed or when Judgment is taken.
Mortgagor understands and agrees that on Mortgagor's default, a court may grant specific performance of Mortgagor's agreements in this Mortgage, and Mortgagee will have the right to take possession of the Mortgaged Property by appointing a receiver in accordance with Title 12 Okla. Stat. §1551.2(c) which authorizes appointment when a condition of a mortgage has not been performed and the mortgage provides for appointment of a receiver. The court may also appoint a receiver upon other grounds as specified in Title 12 Okla. Stat. §1551.
"A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS MORTGAGE. A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW THE MORTGAGEE TO TAKE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND SELL IT WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON DEFAULT BY THE MORTGAGOR UNDER THIS MORTGAGE"
