 Section 1.4 Security for Obligations. This Deed of Trust secures all
Obligations, including the full and punctual payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in the aggregate principal face amount of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00), with interest thereon at the rates therein provided in the
Note, together with any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any and all additional advances made by Beneficiary to protect or preserve the Mortgaged Property, any and all future
advances as may be made by Beneficiary, including any future advances set forth in Section 1.6 or advances under Section 1.7. 
 Section 1.5 Purpose. This Deed of Trust and the Obligations are executed and incurred for business or agricultural purposes and not for personal, household or family purposes. 

Section 1.6 Future Advances and Expenses. This Deed of Trust also secures the repayment of all advances that Beneficiary
may extend to Grantor under the Loan Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In addition this Deed of Trust secures the repayment of all amounts expended by Beneficiary to perform Grantor’s covenants under this Deed of Trust or maintain,
preserve, or dispose of the Mortgaged Property, together with interest thereon from date of expenditure until repaid. 

Section 1.7 Advances. This Deed of Trust is subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, which is a loan agreement between
Grantor and Beneficiary. Grantor acknowledges that in the event the Loan will be used for the purchase of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary may impose any reasonable restrictions or conditions in order to insure that this Deed of Trust remains

 THIS DEED OF TRUST IS GOVERNED BY SECTION 443.055, MISSOURI REVISED STATUTES, AND SECURES FUTURE ADVANCES AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS AS DEFINED THEREIN. THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL INDEBTEDNESS SECURED BY THIS
INSTRUMENT IS $30,000,000.00. 
 NOTICE: THIS DEED OF TRUST SECURES CREDIT IN THE AMOUNT OF THIRTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS
($30,000,000.00). LOANS AND ADVANCES UP TO THIS AMOUNT, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST, ARE SENIOR TO INDEBTEDNESS TO OTHER CREDITORS UNDER SUBSEQUENTLY RECORDED OR FILED MORTGAGES, DEEDS OF TRUST OR OTHER LIENS. 

ANY PERSON TAKING A JUNIOR MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, OR OTHER LIEN UPON THE PROPERTY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN SHALL TAKE SUCH LIEN SUBJECT
TO THE (A) AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION OR SUPPLEMENTATION OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, THE NOTES, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING, SECURING OR GUARANTEEING THE OBLIGATIONS; (B) VARIATIONS IN THE RATE OF
INTEREST AND THE METHOD OF COMPUTING THE SAME; (C) IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL FEES AND OTHER CHARGES; AND (D) EXTENSION OF THE MATURITY OF THE NOTE OR ANY OTHER PROMISSORY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING THE OBLIGATIONS, IN EACH AND
EVERY CASE WITHOUT OBTAINING THE CONSENT OF THE HOLDER OF SUCH JUNIOR LIEN AND WITHOUT THE LIEN OF THIS DEED OF TRUST LOSING ITS PRIORITY OVER THE RIGHTS OF ANY SUCH JUNIOR LIEN. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE CONSTRUED, HOWEVER, AS
WAIVING ANY PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS DEED OF TRUST WHICH PROVIDES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT IT SHALL CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT IF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN SHALL BE SOLD, CONVEYED OR FURTHER
ENCUMBERED. 
 NOTHING HEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE A COMMITMENT TO MAKE ADDITIONAL OR FUTURE LOANS OR ADVANCES IN ANY AMOUNT.

 ARTICLE 2 - REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

Section 2.1 Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows: 

(a) Payment and Performance. Grantor will make due and punctual payment of the Obligations. Grantor will timely and
properly perform and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents and will not permit a default to occur hereunder or thereunder. Time shall be of the essence in
this Deed of Trust.

 (b) Title and Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor has, in Grantor’s own
right, and Grantor covenants to maintain, good, valid and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor, and Grantor’s
successors and assigns, will warrant and forever defend title to the Mortgaged Property, subject as aforesaid, to Beneficiary against the claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. Grantor will punctually
pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Inclusion
of any matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or waiver by Beneficiary of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Grantor, with respect to the Mortgaged Property or otherwise. No part of the Mortgaged
Property constitutes all or any part of the homestead of Grantor. If any right or interest of Beneficiary in the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Beneficiary
(whether or not named as a party to legal proceedings with respect thereto) is hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in its discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or
interest of Beneficiary, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be
an Obligation (which Obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay on demand of Beneficiary) owing by Grantor to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment. 

(c) Taxes and Other Impositions. Grantor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies
imposed upon or against or with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to ad valorem taxes
assessed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and shall deliver promptly to Beneficiary such evidence of the payment thereof as Beneficiary may require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall have the right to contest any such
charges and any such contest shall not be considered a default under this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Documents, provided Grantor either provides a bond for the disputed matters in accordance with applicable law or establishes appropriate
reserves for such matters. 
 (d) Insurance. Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, shall at all times, unless
otherwise indicated, provide, maintain and keep in force: 
 (1) property insurance covering the
Improvements, the Premises and Collateral against loss or damage from such causes of loss as are embraced by insurance policies of the type known as “Special Form/Open Perils/Special Perils” property insurance, including, without
limitation, boiler coverage, and business interruption coverage, on a replacement cost basis with an Agreed Value Endorsement waiving coinsurance, all in an amount not less than the then full replacement cost of the Improvements and personal
property constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, without deduction for physical depreciation thereof; 

(2) comprehensive general liability insurance insuring against claims for personal injury (including, without
limitation, bodily injury or death), property damage liability and such other loss or damage from such causes of loss as are embraced by insurance policies of the type known as “Comprehensive General Liability” insurance, with a combined
single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such insurance coverage shall be issued and maintained on an “occurrence” basis; 
 (3) flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, or the maximum amount of insurance obtainable; provided, however, that such insurance
shall be required only when all or any portion of the Land is located within a 100-year flood plain or area designated as subject to flood by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any other governmental agency, or when required by any federal,
state or local law, statute, regulation or ordinance; 
 (4) In the event of the construction of any
Improvements on the Mortgaged Property, builder’s risk insurance insuring against loss or damage from such causes of loss as are embraced by insurance policies of the type now known as “Builder’s Risks” property insurance
(written on an “all risks” or “open perils” basis), including, without limitation, fire and extended coverage, and collapse of the Improvements (or any portion thereof) to agreed limits, all in form and substance acceptable to
Beneficiary and (i) as to Improvements being or to be constructed with the proceeds of the Loan, in an amount not less than the completed value on a non-reporting 

  
 5 








 
form of the Improvements being constructed, (ii) as to property then subject to restoration pursuant to Section 2.1(h) or any restoration accomplished in connection with a
condemnation, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of such property, and (iii) as to any additional property then being constructed, in an amount not less than the completed value, on a non-reporting form, of the additional
improvements then being constructed; provided, however, that such insurance shall be required only during the construction of the Improvements being financed hereby, and any period of restoration or any restoration accomplished in connection with a
condemnation, or any subsequent period of construction of any additional Improvements; and 
 (5) Such
other insurance and in such amounts, as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Beneficiary against other insurable hazards or risks, including, but not limited to, environmental impairment liability coverage, nuclear reaction or
radioactive contamination coverage and/or earthquake coverage, which hazards or risks at the time are commonly insured against, and provided such insurance is generally available, for property similarly situated, due regard being given to the height
and type of building, its construction, use and occupancy. 
 Except as herein expressly provided otherwise, all policies of
insurance required under this Section 2.1(d) shall be issued by companies, and be in form, amount, and content and have an expiration date, approved by Beneficiary and as to the policies of insurance required under subparagraph
(1) of this Section 2.1(d), shall contain a Standard Non Contributory Mortgagee Clause or Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or equivalents thereof, in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, in favor of
Beneficiary, and as to policies of insurance required under subparagraph (1) of this Section 2.1(d), shall provide that the proceeds thereof (“Insurance Proceeds”) shall be payable to Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall
be furnished a certificate of each policy required hereunder, which policy shall provide that the issuing company shall endeavor to notify Beneficiary in writing at least thirty (30) days’ prior to cancellation or modification of the
policy. If requested by Beneficiary, Grantor shall also furnish to Beneficiary a copy of each such policy. At least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy required hereunder, Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary appropriate proof of
issuance of a policy continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy so expiring. Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
Beneficiary in the event that such premiums have not been paid to Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust. In the event that Grantor does not deposit with Beneficiary a new policy of insurance with evidence of payment of premiums
thereon at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy, then Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the premiums therefor and any money paid by Beneficiary for such premiums shall be
reimbursed to Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust. 
 In the event of the foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust or other transfer of the title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any insurance policy, or premiums paid in connection with such policy or
payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights thereunder then in force, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee. Nothing contained herein shall prevent accrual of interest as provided in the Note on any portion of the Obligations to which
the Insurance Proceeds are to be applied until such time as the Insurance Proceeds are actually received by Beneficiary and applied by Beneficiary to reduce the Obligations secured by this Deed of Trust. All of such insurance shall be subject to
such deductibles as are approved by Beneficiary. 
 Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Deed of Trust or any other
Credit Documents, pursuant to Missouri law, unless Grantor provides evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Documents, Beneficiary may purchase insurance at Grantor’s expense to protect
Beneficiary’s interests in the Mortgaged Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Grantor’s interests. The coverage that the Beneficiary purchases may not pay any claim that Grantor makes or any claim that is made against
Grantor in connection with the collateral. Grantor may later cancel any insurance purchased by the Beneficiary, but only after providing evidence that Grantor has obtained insurance as required by this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Documents. If
the Beneficiary purchases insurance for the collateral, the Grantor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premium, interest and any other charges the Beneficiary may impose in connection with the placement of
the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Grantor’s total outstanding balance or Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost
of insurance the Grantor may be able to obtain on its own. 
 (e) Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments.
[Intentionally omitted]. 

  
 6 








 (f) Eminent Domain and Condemnation. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary
immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for eminent domain or condemnation affecting the Mortgaged Property or arising out of damage to the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor shall, at Grantor’s expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings. Beneficiary shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable
to Grantor for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Grantor for injury or damage to the
Mortgaged Property. Grantor shall, promptly upon request of Beneficiary, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Beneficiary to collect and receipt for
any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Beneficiary, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Beneficiary, including attorneys’ fees, at Beneficiary’s option be (1) released to
Grantor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Beneficiary) to repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property so affected, or (3) applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order and
manner as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect whether or not due. In any event the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Beneficiary shall not be, under any
circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Grantor. Beneficiary is hereby authorized, in the name
of Grantor, to execute and deliver valid acquittance for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree. All costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any condemnation
shall be an Obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay on demand of Beneficiary) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust. 
 (g) Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Mortgaged Property and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon comply in all material respects with all applicable
Legal Requirements (defined below). The Mortgaged Property is not dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than the Mortgaged Property to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. No part of the Mortgaged
Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law or similar law or ordinance. Grantor has obtained and shall preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health and operating permits from the governmental authorities
having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property, except where the failure to have such permit would not have a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property or Grantor’s ability to pay the Obligations. If Grantor receives a notice or claim
from any person that the Mortgaged Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Grantor will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to Beneficiary. Grantor has
received no notice and has no knowledge of any such noncompliance. As used in this Deed of Trust: (i) the term “Legal Requirement” means any Law (defined below), agreement, covenant, restriction, easement, or condition
(including, without limitation of the foregoing, any condition or requirement imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental body, or insurance or surety company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect
in the future; and (ii) the term “Law” means any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, license, permit, authorization, decision, order, injunction or decree, domestic or foreign. 

(h) Maintenance; Repair and Restoration. Grantor will keep the Mortgaged Property in good order, repair, operation
condition and appearance, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the Mortgaged Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate. Grantor will not,
without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (i) remove from the Mortgaged Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Deed of Trust except such as is replaced by Grantor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned
by Grantor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Deed of Trust), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Mortgaged Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value thereof. Grantor
may remove items from the Mortgaged Property without the consent of Beneficiary which are worn out, undesirable, obsolete, disused or unnecessary for use in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and which are not of material value relative to the
value of the Mortgaged Property. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or destruction of the Mortgaged
Property, Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to Beneficiary and Grantor shall promptly, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether insurance or condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be available or sufficient for the
purpose, commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Mortgaged Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction. 

  
 7 








 (i) No Other Liens. Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any mortgage, voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory or contractual, security interest,
encumbrance or charge, or conditional sale or other title retention document, against or covering the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise
subordinate to the lien or security interest created in this Deed of Trust, and should any of the foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, Grantor
will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released. Grantor will own all parts of the Mortgaged Property and, except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, will not acquire any fixtures, equipment or other property forming a part of the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, where by any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. 

(j) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Grantor will operate the Mortgaged Property in a good and workmanlike manner and will
pay all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. Grantor will keep the Mortgaged Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried thereon. Grantor will not use or occupy or conduct any activity on, or allow the use or
occupancy of or the conduct of any activity on, the Mortgaged Property in any manner which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Grantor will not initiate or permit any
zoning reclassification of the Mortgaged Property or seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Mortgaged Property or use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming
a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or any other Legal Requirement. Except to the extent permitted by the Credit Documents and except for Permitted Encumbrances, Grantor will not impose any easement, restrictive covenant or
encumbrance upon the Mortgaged Property, execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Mortgaged Property or consent to the annexation of the Mortgaged Property to any municipality, without the prior written consent
of Beneficiary. Grantor will not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any part of the Mortgaged Property may be lessened in any material respect. Grantor will preserve, protect, renew, extend and retain all material rights and
privileges granted for or applicable to the Mortgaged Property. There shall be no extraction, removal or production of any sand and gravel from the surface or subsurface of the Land regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or
extraction thereof without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Grantor will cause all debts and liabilities of any character (including without limitation all debts and liabilities for labor, material and equipment and all debts and charges
for utilities servicing the Mortgaged Property) incurred in the construction, maintenance, operation and development of the Mortgaged Property to be promptly paid. 
 (k) Status of Grantor; Suits and Claims; Credit Documents. If Grantor is a corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, Grantor is and will continue to be (i) duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, (ii) authorized to do business in, and in good standing in, each state in which the Mortgaged Property is located, and (iii) possessed of all requisite
power and authority to carry on its business and to own and operate the Mortgaged Property. Each Credit Document executed by Grantor has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Grantor, and the obligations thereunder and the performance
thereof by Grantor in accordance with their terms are and will continue to be within Grantor’s power and authority (without the necessity of joinder or consent of any other person), are not and will not be in contravention of any Legal
Requirement to which Grantor or the Mortgaged Property is subject, and do not and will not result in the creation of any encumbrance against any assets or properties of Grantor, or any other person liable, directly or indirectly, for any on the
Obligations, except Permitted Encumbrances or as otherwise expressly contemplated by the Credit Documents. There is no suit, action claim, investigation, inquiry, proceeding or demand pending (or, to Grantor’s knowledge, threatened) which
affects the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any which challenges or otherwise pertains to Grantor’s title to the Mortgaged Properly) or the validity, enforceability or priority of any of the Credit Documents. There is no
judicial or administrative action, suit or proceeding pending (or, to Grantor’s knowledge, threatened) against Grantor, or against any other person liable directly or indirectly for the Obligations, except as disclosed in writing to
Beneficiary. The Credit Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Grantor (and of each guarantor, if any) enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws
(hereinafter defined) and except as the availability of certain remedies 

  
 8 








 
may be limited by general principles of equity. Grantor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, state of organization, taxpayer identification number or corporate or
partnership structure, unless Grantor shall have notified Beneficiary of such change prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Beneficiary for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the
lien and security interest of Beneficiary in the Mortgaged Property. Grantor’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Grantor keeps its books and records concerning the Mortgaged Property has been and will
continue to be (unless Grantor notifies Beneficiary of any change in writing prior to the date of such change) the address of Grantor set forth in Section 6.26 below. 

(l) Environmental Matters. Grantor will defend, indemnify and hold Beneficiary and its directors, officers, agents and
employees harmless from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitations, costs of suit, reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of expert witnesses) arising from or in
connection with (i) the presence in, on or under or the removal from the Mortgaged Property of any hazardous substances or solid wastes (as hereafter defined), or any releases or discharges of any hazardous substances or solid wastes on, under
or from such property, (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off the Mortgaged Property, whether prior to or during the term of this Deed of Trust, and whether by Grantor or any predecessor in title or any officers, employees,
agents, contractors or subcontractors of Grantor or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on the Mortgaged Property, in connection with the handling, use, generation, manufacture, treatment, removal,
storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any hazardous substances or solid wastes at any time located or present on or under the Mortgaged Property, or (iii) any breach of any environmental representation, warranty or
covenant under the terms of this Deed of Trust. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless shall not apply to any such event (i) occurring after foreclosure by Beneficiary or a deed in lieu of foreclosure in favor of Beneficiary and
(ii) caused by Beneficiary or any owner subsequent to Grantor. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contaminations on or under the Mortgaged Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of the
Mortgaged Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such hazardous substances or solid wastes, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be
undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances. The terms “hazardous substance” and “release” as used in this Deed of Trust shall have the meanings specified in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (as amended, “CERCLA”), and the terms “solid waste” and
“disposal” (or “disposed”) shall have the meanings specified in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980,
and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (as amended, “RCRA”); and shall also include those substances regulated under any statutes or regulations adopted or promulgated by the State of Nebraska or the State of Missouri
or any agency or political subdivision thereof, including any statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations regulating or pertaining to hazardous substances or the protection of the environment; provided, in the event that the laws of the State of
Nebraska or the State of Missouri establish a meaning for “hazardous substance”, “release”, “solid waste” or “disposal” which is broader than that specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall
apply. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements of Grantor hereunder, the provisions of this Section shall survive the final payment of all Obligations and the termination of this Deed of Trust and shall continue thereafter in full
force and effect. 
 (m) Further Assurances. Grantor will, promptly on request of Beneficiary, (i) correct
any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents, execution or acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document; (ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record and/or file such further documents
(including, without limitation, further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments of rents or leases) and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more
effectively the purposes of this Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents, to more fully identify and subject to the liens and security interests hereof in any property intended to be covered hereby (including specifically, but without
limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Mortgaged Property) or as deemed advisable by Beneficiary to protect the lien or the security interest hereunder against the rights or interests of third
persons; and (iii) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper in the reasonable determination of Beneficiary to enable
Beneficiary to comply with the requirements or requests of any agency having jurisdiction over Beneficiary or any examiners of such agencies with respect to the Obligations, Grantor or the Mortgaged Property. Grantor shall pay all costs connected
with any of the foregoing, which shall be an Obligation owing by Grantor (which Grantor hereby promises to pay on demand of Beneficiary) to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust.

 (n) Fees and Expenses. Without limitation of any other provision of this Deed
of Trust or of any other Credit Document and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Grantor will pay, and will reimburse to Beneficiary on demand to the extent paid by Beneficiary and reasonably required by Beneficiary:

fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, architect fees, construction consultant fees, environmental inspection fees, survey fees, and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every character incurred by Grantor or Beneficiary in connection with
the preparation of the Credit Documents, the evaluation, closing and funding of the Loan, and any and all amendments and supplements to this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Documents or any approval, consent, waiver, release or other matter
requested or required hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Grantor as owner of the Mortgaged Property; and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred
or expended in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy, or the enforcement of any obligation of Grantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document. 
 (o) Books and Records, Inspection. Grantor will keep, and will allow Beneficiary at reasonable times to inspect, complete and accurate books and records with regard to the Mortgaged
Property. All books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property shall at all times be located at Grantor’s address set forth in Section 6.26 or such other location agreeable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall be permitted to inspect
the Mortgaged Property, from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice to Beneficiary. 
 (p) Taxes on this Deed of
Trust. In the event of the enactment after this date of any law of any governmental entity applicable to Beneficiary, any promissory note given in connection therewith, the Mortgaged Property or this Deed of Trust deducting from the value of
property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon Beneficiary the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Grantor, or changing in any
way the laws relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the Beneficiary or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such
taxes, so as to affect this Deed of Trust, the Obligations or Beneficiary, then, and in any such event, Grantor, upon demand by Beneficiary, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse Beneficiary therefor, provided, however,
that if in the opinion of counsel for Beneficiary (i) it might be unlawful to require Grantor to make such payment or (ii) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law,
then and in such event, Beneficiary may elect, by notice in writing given to Grantor, to declare all of the Obligations to be and become due and payable sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice. 

(q) Statement Concerning this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall at any time and from time to time furnish within seven
(7) business days of request by Beneficiary a written statement in such form as may be required by Beneficiary stating that (i) this Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents are valid and binding obligations of Grantor, enforceable
against Grantor in accordance with their terms; (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations; (iii) the date to which interest on the Obligations is paid; (iv) that this Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents have not
been released, subordinated or modified; and (v) that there are no offsets or defenses against the enforcement of this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document. If any of the foregoing statements are untrue, Grantor shall, alternatively,
specify the reasons therefor. 
 (r) Authorization to file financing statements. Beneficiary authorizes Grantor to
file such financing statements as Grantor deems necessary to perfect its security interest in the Collateral or to otherwise prevent its security interest therein from becoming unperfected and to amend or continue such financing statements.
Beneficiary agrees to pay the costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in making such filings. 
 Section 2.2
Performance by Beneficiary on Grantor’s Behalf. Grantor agrees that, if Grantor fails to perform any act or to take any action which under any Credit Document Grantor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which under any
Credit Document Grantor is required to pay, and whether or not the failure then constitutes a default hereunder or thereunder, and whether or not there has occurred any default or defaults hereunder or the Obligations has been accelerated,
Beneficiary, in Grantor’s name or its own name, may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Beneficiary and any money so paid by
Beneficiary shall be an Obligation owing by Grantor to Beneficiary (which obligation Grantor hereby promises to pay on demand of Beneficiary), and Beneficiary, upon 

  
 10 









 
making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, entity or body politic receiving such payment. Beneficiary and its designees shall have the right, upon reasonable
prior written notice to Grantor (no notice being required in the event of an emergency), to enter upon the Mortgaged Property at any time and from time to time for any such purposes. No such payment or performance by Beneficiary shall waive or cure
any default or waive any right, remedy or recourse of Beneficiary. Any such payment may be made by Beneficiary in reliance on any statement, invoice or claim without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof. Each amount due and owing by Grantor
to Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall bear interest, from the date such amount becomes due until paid, at the Default Rate, which interest shall be payable to Beneficiary on demand; and an such amounts, together with such interest
thereon, shall automatically and without notice be a part of the Obligations. The amount and nature of any expense by Beneficiary hereunder and the time which paid shall be fully established by the certificate of Beneficiary or any of
Beneficiary’s officers or agents. 
 Section 2.3 Absence of Obligations of Beneficiary with Respect to Mortgaged
Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust to the contrary, including, without limitation, the definition of “Mortgaged Property” and/or the provisions of Article 3 hereof, (i) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Mortgaged Property is composed of Grantor’s rights, title and interests therein but not Grantor’s obligations, duties or liabilities pertaining thereto, (ii) Beneficiary neither assumes nor shall have any
obligations, duties or liabilities in connection with any portion of the items described in the definition of “Mortgaged Property” herein, either prior to or after obtaining title to such Mortgaged Property, whether by foreclosure sale,
the granting of deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and (iii) Beneficiary may, at any time prior to or after the acquisition of title to any portion of the Mortgaged Property as above described, advise any party in writing as to the
extent of Beneficiary’s interest therein and/or expressly disaffirm in writing any rights, interests, obligations, duties and/or liabilities with respect to such Mortgaged Property or matters related thereto. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Beneficiary shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities prior to or after acquisition of title to any portion of the Mortgaged Property, as lessee under any lease or purchaser or seller under any
contract or option unless Beneficiary elects otherwise by written notification. 
 ARTICLE 3 - ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS

 Section 3.1 Assignment. As additional security for the Obligations, Grantor hereby absolutely, presently
and unconditionally grants, assigns, transfers and pledges to Beneficiary all Rents (hereinafter defined) and all of Grantor’s rights in and under all Leases (hereinafter defined). Grantor shall have a revocable license (the
“License”) to collect the Rents, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 herein, until an event of default occurs under the Loan. Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and
privilege (but shall be under no duty) to terminate the License, demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law be sufficient action by Beneficiary to entitle Beneficiary to immediate and direct
payment of the Rents (including delivery to Beneficiary of Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided in this Deed of Trust, all without the necessity of any further action
by Beneficiary, including, without limitation, any action to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust or to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Mortgaged Property. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs the tenants
under the Leases to pay Rents to Beneficiary upon written demand by Beneficiary, without further consent of Grantor, without any obligation to determine whether a default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Beneficiary has taken
possession of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Beneficiary to the tenants. Any such payment to Beneficiary shall constitute payment to Grantor under the Leases, and Grantor
hereby appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s lawful attorney-in-fact for giving, and Beneficiary is hereby empowered to give, acquittance to any tenants for such payments to Beneficiary after a default. As used herein:
(i) “Lease” means each existing or future lease, sublease (to the extent of Grantor’s rights thereunder) or other agreement under the terms of which any person has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or interest therein, and each existing or future guaranty of payment or performance thereunder, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements of each such lease, sublease, agreement or guaranty; and
(ii) “Rents” means all of the rents, revenue, income, profits and proceeds derived and to be derived from the Mortgaged Property or arising from the use of enjoyment of any portion thereof or from any Lease, including but not
limited to liquidated damages following default under any such Lease, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Mortgaged Property, all of
Grantor’s rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims 

  
 11 









 
arising out of Lease defaults, including, rejections, under any applicable Debtor Relief Law (as hereinafter defined), together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be or
become due and payable to Grantor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas, mineral and mining leases
covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and all proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Grantor under or pursuant to any and all contracts all bonds relating to the construction or renovation of the Mortgaged Property. 

Section 3.2 Covenants, Representations and Warranties Concerning Leases and Rents. Grantor covenants, represents and
warrants that: (i) Grantor has good title to, and is the owner of the entire lessor’s interest in, the Leases and Rents (if any) hereby assigned and has the authority to assign them; (ii) all Leases (if any) are valid and enforceable,
and in full force and effect, and are unmodified except as stated therein; (iii) unless otherwise stated in a Permitted Encumbrance, no Rents or Leases have been or will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered and no other
person has or will acquire any right, title or interest in such Rents or Leases; (iv) no Rents have been waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised in any material respect; (v) except as stated in the Leases, Grantor has not
received any material amount of funds or deposits from any tenant for which credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rents; (vi) Grantor shall perform all of its obligations under the Leases and enforce the tenants’
obligations under the Leases to the extent enforcement is prudent under the circumstances; (vii) Grantor will not without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter
into any Lease after the date hereof, or, in any material respect, waive, release, discount, set off, compromise, reduce or defer any Rent, receive or collect Rents more than one (1) year in advance, grant any rent-free period to any tenant,
reduce any Lease term or waive, release or otherwise modify any other material obligation under any Lease, renew or extend any Lease except in accordance with a right of the tenant thereto in such Lease, approve or consent to an assignment of a
Lease or a subletting of any part of the premises covered by a Lease, or settle or compromise any claim against a tenant under a Lease in bankruptcy or otherwise (if Beneficiary so requests, Grantor shall cause the tenant under any Lease consented
to by Beneficiary to enter into a subordination agreement with Beneficiary satisfactory in the sole discretion of Beneficiary); (viii) promptly upon request by Beneficiary, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary executed originals of all Leases
and copies of all records relating thereto; (ix) there shall be no extinguishment by confusion of the leasehold estates, created by the Leases, with ownership of the Land without the prior written consent of Beneficiary; and
(x) Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Deed of Trust to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any
tenant or any other person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any
junior lienholder; and nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Deed of Trust to any Lease. 
 Section 3.3
No Liability of Beneficiary. Beneficiary’s acceptance of this assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Beneficiary a “mortgagee in possession,” nor obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any
Lease or to the Mortgaged Property, or to take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability under any Lease, or assume any obligation for any deposit delivered to Grantor by any tenant and not as
such delivered to and accepted by Beneficiary. Beneficiary shall not be liable for any injury or damage to person or property in or about the Mortgaged Property, or for Beneficiary’s failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting
Rents, but shall be accountable only for Rents that it shall actually receive. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents nor enforcement of Beneficiary’s rights regarding Leases and Rents (including collection of Rents) nor possession of the
Mortgaged Property by Beneficiary or by a keeper appointed at Beneficiary’s request nor Beneficiary’s consent to or approval of any Lease (nor all of the same), shall render Beneficiary liable on any obligation under or with respect to any
Lease or constitute affirmation of, or any subordination to, any Lease, occupancy, use or option. If Beneficiary seeks or obtains any judicial relief regarding Rents or Leases, the same shall in no way prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment
of any other appropriate rights or remedies nor shall same constitute an election of judicial relief for any foreclosure or any other purposes. Beneficiary neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any Lease. The
rights of Beneficiary under this Article 3 shall be cumulative of all other rights of Beneficiary under the Credit Documents or otherwise.

notice or protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a default
described in clauses (i), (iii) or (iv) of paragraph (d)(1) or paragraph (d)(2) of Section 4.1 hereof, all Obligations shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest,
declaration or notice of acceleration or intention to accelerate, or any other notice, declaration or act of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Grantor. 
 (b) Enforcement of Assignment of Rents. From the date of default through the expiration of the last redemption period following the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may:
(1) terminate the License and collect and/or sue for the Rents in Beneficiary’s own name, give receipts and releases therefor, and after deducting all expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, apply the net
proceeds thereof to the Obligations in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect and/or to the operation and management of the Mortgaged Property, including the payment of management, brokerage and attorneys’ fees and expenses; and
(2) require Grantor to transfer all security deposits and records thereof to Beneficiary together with original counterparts of the Leases. 
 (c) Collection. Beneficiary may collect the outstanding Obligations with or without resorting to judicial process. 
 (d) Assembly of Collateral. Beneficiary may require Grantor to deliver and make available to Beneficiary any and all Collateral at a place reasonably convenient to Grantor and Beneficiary.

 (e) Possession. Beneficiary may take immediate possession, management and control of the Mortgaged Property
without seeking the appointment of a receiver. 
 (f) Receiver. Beneficiary may apply for and obtain, without
notice and upon ex parte application, the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property without regard to Grantor’s financial condition or solvency, the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property to secure the payment or performance of the
Obligations, or the existence of any waste to the Mortgaged Property. 
 (g) Foreclosure. Beneficiary may
foreclose this Deed of Trust. 
 (h) Power of Sale. To the extent and in the manner permitted by the laws of the
State of Missouri, Beneficiary may require the Trustee, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to do any one or more of the following: (i) Enter upon and take possession of the Land without the appointment of a receiver, or an
application therefor, employ a managing agent of the Land and operate or lease the same, either in its own name, or in the name of the Grantor, and receive the Rents and apply the same, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account
of the indebtedness secured hereby; and (ii) to sell all or part of the Land at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, free from the equity of redemption, whether statutory or common law, the rights of homestead, dower, marital share,
and all other rights and exemptions of every kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, after giving notice of the time and place of such sale and of the Land to be sold, by publication of such notice at least three (3) different times in
some newspaper published in any county and state where some part of the Land is situated, the first of which publications shall be at least twenty-one (21) days previous to said sale, and on the day and at the front door of the County Court
House in any county and state where some part of the Land is situated, being the place fixed in said notice, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., which notice may be given before or after entry by the Trustee or as otherwise required by
applicable law. The Trustee shall execute a conveyance to the purchaser in fee simple and deliver possession to the purchaser, which the Grantor warrants shall be given without obstruction, hindrance or delay. The Trustee may sell all or any portion
of the Land, together or in lots or parcels, and may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers of such Land a conveyance in fee simple. The Trustee making such sale shall receive the proceeds thereof and shall apply the same as set forth in
Section 5.2 of this Deed of Trust. The sale or sales by the Trustee of less than the whole of the Land shall be without regard to any right of Grantor or any other person to the marshalling of assets and shall not exhaust the power of
sale herein 

  
 15 









 
granted, and the Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Land shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale or sales of less
than the whole of the Land shall be less than the aggregate of the Obligations secured hereby and the expenses thereof, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold
portion of the Land; provided, however, that Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Land, but the Beneficiary shall have the right at its sole election, to require the Trustee to sell less than
the whole of the Land. The Beneficiary may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Land at any such sale, and the amount of Beneficiary’s successful bid may be credited on the Obligations secured hereby. Any and all such sales
and deeds shall be a perpetual bar, both in law and equity (including the statutory right of redemption), against Grantor and its heirs, successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming the Land or any part thereof, by, from, through or under
Grantor. Immediately upon the filing of any foreclosure proceeding under this Deed of Trust, there shall be and become due and owing by Grantor all expenses incident to any foreclosure proceedings under this Deed of Trust. The Beneficiary or the
Trustee may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale
of the Land or any personal property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction. 

(i) Set-off. Beneficiary may set-off Grantor’s Obligations against any amounts due by Beneficiary to Grantor
including, but not limited to, monies, instruments and deposit accounts maintained with Beneficiary. 
 (j)
Collateral. Beneficiary may exercise all rights against the Collateral allowed a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, including without limitation to sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or
private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices as Beneficiary may deem satisfactory, and in connection with any such sale, Grantor hereby agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and
place of any such sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral constitutes “reasonable notification” within the meaning of applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, except that shorter or no notice shall be
reasonable as to any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Beneficiary may proceed under this Deed of Trust solely as to the real property interests, or
solely as to the personal property interests, or as to both the real and personal property interests in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of the real property interests. 

(k) Lawsuits. Beneficiary may institute suits for collection of the Obligations, the specific performance of any covenant
or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted. Beneficiary may commence an action against Grantor under Nebraska law for the recovery of any balance due under the Credit Documents which was not retired as a
result of the exercise of any foreclosure proceedings or the power of sale granted herein. 
 (l) Termination of
Commitment to Lend. Beneficiary may terminate any commitment or obligation to lend or disburse funds under any Credit Document. 
 (m) Other Rights and Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Beneficiary may have under the Credit Documents, under applicable law or otherwise.

 The enumeration of the availability of specific remedies in the event of default shall not impair the demand nature of any of
the Obligations which by its terms or otherwise is payable on demand. Beneficiary’s rights are cumulative and may be exercised together, separately and in any order. In the event that Beneficiary institutes an action seeking the recovery of any
of the Mortgaged Property by way of a pre-judgment remedy in an action against Grantor, Grantor waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. 
 Section 5.2 Proceeds of Foreclosure. Subject to applicable law, the proceeds of any sale held at the instance of the Beneficiary in foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced
hereby shall be applied in such order or priority as the Beneficiary may elect, in its sole discretion, which may include the application thereof in accordance with the following: FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to
such foreclosure sale, including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, all court costs, commissions and charges of every character, and to the payment of the other Obligations, including specifically without
limitation the principal, accrued interest, prepayment premium and attorneys’ fees due and unpaid on the Obligations and the amounts due and unpaid and owed to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the order and manner of application to the
terms in this clause FIRST to be in Beneficiary’s sole discretion; and SECOND, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor, or to Grantor’s heirs, representatives, successors or assigns,


  
 16 









 
or such other persons (including the holder of any inferior lien) as may be entitled thereto by law; provided, however, that if Beneficiary is uncertain which person or persons are so entitled,
Beneficiary may commence appropriate proceedings with respect to such remainder in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount of any attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses incurred in such action shall be a part of the Obligations
and shall be reimbursable (without limitation) from such remainder. 
 Section 5.3 Remedies Cumulative. All rights
and remedies provided for herein and in any other Credit Document are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights and remedies available under the law, and Beneficiary shall, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein or in
any other Credit Document, be entitled to avail itself of all such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist under applicable law for the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of
the liens and security interest evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Credit Document or provided under applicable law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any
other appropriate right or rights or remedy or remedies. 
 Section 5.4 Beneficiary’s Discretion as to
Security. Beneficiary may resort to any security given by this Deed of Trust or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may
seem best to Beneficiary in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in anyway be considered as a waiver of any rights, benefits, liens or security interest evidenced by this Deed of Trust. 

Section 5.5 Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions. Grantor hereby waives all homestead, dower or curtesy interest,
redemption rights and appraisement rights or other exemptions to which Grantor would otherwise be entitled under any applicable law. 
 Section 5.6 Reimbursement of Amounts Expended by Beneficiary. Upon demand, Grantor shall immediately reimburse Beneficiary for all amounts (including attorney fees and legal expenses)
expended by Beneficiary in the performance of any action required to be taken by Grantor or the exercise of any right or remedy of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. These sums shall be included
in the definition of Obligations herein and shall be secured by the interest granted herein. 
 ARTICLE 6 - MISCELLANEOUS

 Section 6.1 Scope of Deed of Trust. This Deed of Trust is a mortgage of real property, a security
agreement, and an absolute assignment of leases and rents, and also covers proceeds and fixtures. 
 Section 6.2
Effective as a Financing Statement, Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement. The mailing addresses of Grantor and Beneficiary are as set forth in Section 6.26 of this Deed of Trust. A carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of any financing statement relating to this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement. 
 This instrument shall also be deemed to be a Fixture Filing within the meaning of the UCC, and for such purpose, the following information is given: 

 

					
	(a)	  	Name and address of Debtor:	  	See Section 6.26
	(b)	  	Type of Organization:	  	Corporation/Limited Liability Company
	(c)	  	Jurisdiction of Organization:	  	Iowa/Delaware
	(d)	  	Name and address of Secured Party:	  	See Section 6.26

 17 









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

Section 6.5 No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Beneficiary hereunder or
under any other Credit Document shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Beneficiary including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any Obligations,
or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant in respect of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any endorser,
guarantor or surety of any Obligations. The taking of additional security by Beneficiary shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security lights of Beneficiary hereunder or affect the liability of Grantor or of any endorser,
guarantor or surety, or improve the right of any junior lienholder in the Mortgaged Property (without implying hereby Beneficiary’s Consent to any junior lien), 
 Section 6.6 Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may waive any default without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Beneficiary may remedy any default without
waiving the default remedied. Neither failure by Beneficiary to exercise, nor delay by Beneficiary in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to accelerate the maturity of
the Obligations or any part thereof) upon or after any default shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Beneficiary of
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any
provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Beneficiary and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for
the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Grantor in any case shall of itself entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Remittances in payment of any
part of the Obligations other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Beneficiary in
immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of Beneficiary. Acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment in an amount less
than the amount then due on any Obligation shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder. 
 Section 6.7 Grantor’s Successors. If the ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Beneficiary may, without notice to
Grantor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust and to the Obligations in the same manner as with Grantor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Grantor’s liability hereunder or for the
payment or performance of the Obligations. No transfer of the Mortgaged Property, except to Beneficiary when expressly agreed to, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary, and no extension of the time for the payment of the Obligations given by
Beneficiary shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Grantor hereunder for the payment or performance of the Obligations or the liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of
the Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Credit Documents made by Beneficiary and any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, with or without notice to such
Grantor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of such Grantor under this Deed of Trust or any other Credit Document. Nothing in this Section 6.7 or elsewhere in this Deed of Trust shall be construed to imply
Beneficiary’s consent to any transfer of the Mortgaged Property. 
 Section 6.8 Place of Payment. All
Obligations which may be owing hereunder at any time by Grantor shall be payable at the place designated in the Note, as the case may be (or, if no such designation is made, at the address of Beneficiary indicated in Section 6.26).


  
 18 









 Section 6.9 Subrogation to Existing Liens. To the extent that proceeds of the
Obligations are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Beneficiary at Grantor’s request, and Beneficiary shall
be subrogated to any and all rights, security interest and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or
encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Obligations, but the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust shall govern and control the manner
and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Beneficiary is subrogated hereunder. It is expressly understood that in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Beneficiary, Grantor hereby
waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. 

Section 6.10 Application of Payments to Certain Obligations. If any part of the Obligations cannot be lawfully secured by
this Deed of Trust or if any part of the Mortgaged Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of the Obligations, then all payments made shall, unless otherwise designated by the Beneficiary, be
applied on the Obligations first in discharge of that portion thereof which is not secured by this Deed of Trust. 
 Section
6.11 Compliance with Usury Laws. It is the intent of Grantor and Beneficiary and all other parties to the Credit Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws from time to time in effect. All
agreements between Beneficiary and Grantor (or any other party liable with respect to any indebtedness under the Credit Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section 6.11 which shall override and control all such
agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged, chargeable, or received under this Deed of Trust, the Note delivered in connection therewith or any other Credit Document or otherwise, exceed the maximum non-usurious amount permitted by applicable law (the
“Maximum Lawful Amount”). If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise by payable in excess of the Maximum Lawful Amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 6.11 and such document shall ipso facto be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Lawful Amount, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If
Beneficiary shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been
excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Obligations in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Grantor or the other payor thereof if and
to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. Any right to accelerate maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of
such acceleration, and Beneficiary does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. 

Section 6.12 Marshalling. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Grantor waives any right to require the
marshalling of any assets constituting collateral for the Loan. 
 Section 6.13 Invalidity of Certain Provisions.
A determination that any provision of this Deed of Trust is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and the determination that the application of any provision of this Deed of Trust to any
person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances. 
 Section 6.14 Gender; Titles; Construction. Within this Deed of Trust, words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be
held and construed to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. Titles appearing at the beginning of any subdivisions hereof are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in
construing the language contained in such subdivisions. The use of the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall refer to this entire Deed of Trust and not to
any particular Article, Section, 

  
 19 









 
paragraph or provision. The term “person” and words importing persons as used in this Deed of Trust shall include firms, associations, partnerships (including limited partnerships),
joint ventures, trusts, corporations, limited liability companies, and other legal entities, including public or governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities, as well as natural persons. 

Section 6.15 Reporting Compliance. Grantor agrees to comply with any and all reporting requirements applicable to the
transactions secured by this Deed of Trust which are set forth in any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or determination of any governmental authority, and further agrees upon written request of Beneficiary to furnish Beneficiary with
evidence of such compliance. 
 Section 6.16 Beneficiary’s Consent. Except where otherwise expressly provided
herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of judgment of Beneficiary is required or requested, (i) the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole
discretion of Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner, regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or
Beneficiary’s judgment, and (ii) no approval or consent of Beneficiary shall be deemed to have been given except by a specific writing intended for the purpose and executed by an authorized representative of Beneficiary. 

Section 6.17 Grantor. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, as used in this Deed of Trust,
“Grantor” means the Grantor named in the appearance clause of this Deed of Trust or any of them. The obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be joint and several. If any Grantor, or any signatory who signs on behalf of any Grantor,
is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity, Grantor and any such signatory, and the person or persons signing for it, represent and warrant to Beneficiary that this instrument is executed, acknowledged and delivered by Grantor’s duly
authorized representatives. If Grantor is an individual, no power of attorney granted by Grantor herein shall terminate on Grantor’s disability. 
 Section 6.18 Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Grantor, and the heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of
Grantor, and shall inure to the benefit of the Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, and shall constitute covenants running with the Land. All references in this Deed of Trust to Grantor shall be deemed to include all such heirs, devisees,
representatives, successors and assigns of Grantor. 
 Section 6.19 Modification or Termination. The Credit
Documents may only be modified or terminated by a written instrument or instruments intended for that purpose and executed by the party against which enforcement of the modification or termination is asserted. Any alleged modification or termination
which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party. 
 Section 6.20 No Partnership, etc. The
relationship between Beneficiary and Grantor is solely that of Beneficiary and Grantor. Beneficiary has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Grantor. Nothing contained in the Credit Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint
venture, association or special relationship between Grantor and Beneficiary or in any way make Beneficiary a co-principal with Grantor with reference to the Mortgaged Property. All agreed contractual duties between or among Beneficiary and Grantor
are set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents and any additional implied covenants or duties are hereby disclaimed. Any inferences to the contrary of any of the foregoing are hereby expressly negated. 

Section 6.21 Power of Attorney. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact and upon any default hereunder
authorizes Beneficiary to endorse Grantor’s name on all instruments and other documents pertaining to the Obligations. In addition, Beneficiary shall be entitled, but not required, to perform any action or execute any document required to be
taken or executed by Grantor under this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary’s performance of such action or execution of such documents shall not relieve Grantor from any Obligation or cure any default under this Deed of Trust. The powers of attorney
described in this action are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. 
 Section 6.22 Collection Costs. If
Beneficiary hires an attorney to assist in collecting any amount due or enforcing any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust, Grantor agrees to pay Beneficiary’s reasonable attorney fees and collection costs, including, but not limited to,
costs incurred for copying, title reports, surveys, title abstract and all other costs incurred by Beneficiary in collecting the debt. 

  
 20 









 Section 6.23 Partial Release. Beneficiary directly (and without joinder of
Trustee) or the Trustee upon written direction from the Beneficiary may release its interest in a portion of the Mortgaged Property by executing and recording one or more partial releases without affecting its interest in the remaining portion of
the Mortgaged Property. 
 Section 6.24 Applicable Law. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA (EXCLUSIVE OF ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES) SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND ALL ISSUES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, INCLUDING (WITHOUT
LIMITATION) THE DETERMINATION OF THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE OF INTEREST THAT MAY BE CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED OR RECEIVED WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI SHALL GOVERN THE PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE
MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND FORECLOSURE OF LIENS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. 
 Section 6.25 Entire Agreement. The Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary with respect to the transactions arising in connection
with the Obligations and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Grantor and Beneficiary with respect to the matters addressed in the Credit Documents. Grantor hereby acknowledges that, except as incorporated in
writing in the Credit Documents, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized by Beneficiary to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters
addressed in the Credit Documents. 
 Section 6.26 Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, elections and other
communications (collectively “Notices”) hereunder shall be in writing (whether or not the other provisions of this Deed of Trust expressly so provide) and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed by United States registered

instrument duly executed and recorded in the Office of the county recorder of the county or counties where the Mortgaged Property is situated, which instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution and appointment of such successor
