or any other documents or instruments securing payment of the Secured Indebtedness, such action shall not be deemed a waiver or
discharge of any other lien, encumbrance or security interest securing payment of the Note until such time as the Mortgagee shall
have been paid in full all sums advanced under the Note. The foreclosure of any lien provided pursuant to this Mortgage without
the simultaneous foreclosure of all such liens shall not merge the liens granted which are not foreclosed with any interest which
the Mortgagee might obtain as a result of such selective and successive foreclosure.


 


15.6.   
High Volatility Commercial Real Estate. If at any time, in the determination of the Mortgagee, the net equity or
capital retention of the Mortgagor would require Mortgagee to classify the Mortgaged Property as High Volatility Commercial Real
Estate as set forth in Part 217 of Chapter II of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, then within ten (10) days after written
demand being issued by the Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall take such actions as may be necessary, including obtaining adequate equity
infusion, such that the Mortgaged Property need not be classified as High Volatility Commercial Real Estate. If the Mortgagor fails
to take such action, it shall not be an Event of Default, and Mortgagee, as Mortgagee’s sole right and remedy, may increase
the interest rate on the Loan by 0.85 percent as of the eleventh (11th) day after such notice and demand is issued.
  


 


16.        
SALE OF PARCELS. In case of any sale under this Mortgage, by virtue of judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Mortgaged
Property may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety or in such parcels, manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion
may elect.


 


17.        
SUBROGATION. If the money loaned or advanced by Mortgagee and secured hereby shall be used to pay off or discharge
any mortgage, lien or encumbrance upon or against the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagee, at its option, will be subrogated to all
such mortgages, liens or encumbrances so discharged, satisfied or paid, even though the same may be released of record, and to
all the rights of the person or persons to whom such payments have been made, and may immediately enforce the same against the
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property.

18.        
 INDULGENCES, EXTENSIONS AND RELEASES. It is understood and agreed that at any time and from time to time, either
with or without any consideration, and without notice to any person and without the consent or approval of any person or persons,
and without in any manner affecting the liability of the Mortgagor or any guarantors, sureties, endorsers, or any other persons
liable for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness together with interest and any other sums which may be due and payable to Mortgagee,
and without in any manner affecting, disturbing or impairing in any manner whatsoever the validity and priority of the lien of
this Mortgage upon that portion of the Mortgaged Property which is unreleased, and also without in any manner affecting or impairing
to any extent whatsoever any and all other collateral security which may be held by Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may at its sole subjective
discretion:


 


18.1.   
Grant to the Mortgagor any indulgence, forbearance or any extension of time for the payment of any of the Secured Indebtedness,
and may agree to a modification in the terms of the Note and this Mortgage; and


 


18.2.   
Allow any change, addition or substitution of or for any of the property described in this Mortgage or other collateral
which may be held by Mortgagee; and


 


18.3.   
Release or otherwise deal with all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other real or personal property or portion
thereof which may be held by Mortgagee as security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness; and/or


 


18.4.   
Release the Mortgagor or any guarantors, sureties, endorsers or any other persons now or hereafter liable for the payment
of all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness or liable for the performance of any obligations;


 


None of the foregoing will impair or affect
the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien covering the Mortgaged Property. Further, any
agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgagee which extends the time
of payment or which modifies the terms of the Note or this Mortgage, without Mortgagee first having obtained the consent of the
Mortgagor, shall not constitute a release of Mortgagor or any guarantors, sureties, endorsers or any other persons liable for payment
of the Secured Indebtedness, and the Mortgagor and all such other persons shall continue liable to make such payments according
to the terms of any such agreement or extension or modification unless expressly released and discharged in writing by the Mortgagee.


 


19.        
NO WAIVERS. Any failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any of the terms
and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage, and the
Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor
of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by the Mortgagor. Further, no delay by Mortgagee in
exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law, shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude
the exercise thereof during the continuance of any default hereunder.


 









    12


     


    

 


20.        
 DEMANDS FOR FORECLOSURE. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of
the whole or any part of the Secured Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the
failure of the Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Mortgagor or of any other person so obligated to take action to foreclose
this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of any obligations secured by this Mortgage.


 


21.        
OTHER SECURITY. If the payment of the Secured Indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by assignments of
leases, or rentals, security agreements, financing statements, mortgages, collateral assignments, pledges, contracts of guaranty,
or other additional security documents, any default under the provisions of any such further security documents shall constitute
and be a default under this Mortgage, and the Mortgagee may, at its option, exhaust its remedies under any one or more of the said
security documents and the security thereunder, as well as the Mortgaged Property, either concurrently or independently and in
such order and manner as the Mortgagee may elect, and Mortgagee may apply the proceeds received therefrom upon the Secured Indebtedness
without waiving or affecting Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage or exercised hereunder or whether contained
or exercised under any other such security documents.


 


22.        
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP. If ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof becomes vested in a person or
persons other than the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee may deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage
and the Secured Indebtedness in the same manner as with the Mortgagor, provided, however, except as provided in the Loan
Agreement, nothing contained in this paragraph shall constitute or be construed as Mortgagee’s consent to or approval of
any change in ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof


 


23.        
PAYMENT BY OTHERS. Any payment made by any person at any time liable for the payment of the whole or any part of
the Secured Indebtedness or by any person whose interest in the Mortgaged Property might be prejudiced in the event of a failure
to make such payment, or by any stockholder, officer or director of a corporation or any partner of a partnership or trustee or
beneficial owner of a trust which at any time might be liable for such payment or might own an interest in the Mortgaged Property,
will be deemed, as between the Mortgagee and all persons who at any time might be liable as aforesaid or might own an interest
in the Mortgaged Property, to have been made on behalf of the Mortgagor.


 


24.        
NOTICES. Every provision for notice pursuant to this Mortgage shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions
of the Loan Agreement.


 


25.         RELATIONSHIP
OF THE PARTIES. This Mortgage is given as an incident to a lending transaction between Mortgagee and Mortgagor, and in no
event shall the Mortgagee be construed or held to be a partner, joint venturer or associate of the Mortgagor in the conduct
of the business of Mortgagor on or about the Mortgaged Property or otherwise, nor shall Mortgagee be liable for any debts or
obligations incurred by Mortgagor in the conduct of such business, it being understood and agreed that the relationship of
the parties is and at all times shall remain that of Mortgagee and Mortgagor.

CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The rights of the Mortgagee arising under the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none of them shall be in exclusion of the others; and
no act of the Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other

shall remain in full force and effect.


 


30.        
AMENDMENT. This Mortgage cannot be changed, modified or amended except by an agreement in writing, signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the change is sought and in recordable form.


 


31.        
BINDING EFFECT. All of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall run with the land

LIMITATION OF INDEMNITY. To the extent, if at all, 56-7-1 NMSA 1978, as amended, is applicable, any agreement to
indemnify, hold harmless, insure or defend another party contained herein or in any related documents will not extend to liability,
