BY DEED OF TRUST 
 (One-Month LIBO Rate; Adjusted Monthly) 

 

			
	$9,581,000.00	 	Date: May 15, 2013

  

	1.	PROMISE TO PAY. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CONCORDE REAL ESTATE, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (“Lender”), at the Minneapolis Loan Center, 608 2nd Ave South, 11th Floor, Minneapolis, MN 55402, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the
principal sum of NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE THOUSAND AND NO/1OOTHS DOLLARS ($9,581,000.00) or so much thereof as may from time to time be owing hereunder by reason of advances by Lender to or for the benefit or account of Borrower
(“Loan”), with interest thereon, per annum, at one or more of the Effective Rates (as hereinafter defined) calculated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Fixed Rate Agreement attached to this note (“Note”) as
Exhibit A (based on a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed). All sums owing hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds without offset, deduction or counterclaim of
any kind. The Borrower and Lender are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” 

  

	2.	INTEREST. Interest accrued on this Note shall be due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day,
on the next Business Day) commencing with the first (lst) month after the date of this Note. 

  

	3.	INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Monthly principal installments in the amount of $53,227.78 shall be due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of
each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day), commencing with June 15, 2013, with a final installment consisting of all remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest due and payable in full on the Maturity Date
(as defined below). 

  

	4.	BILL LEAD DATE REQUEST. By written notice to Lender, Borrower may request to receive monthly billings on a date (the “Bill Lead Date”) that is prior to the fifteenth (15th) day of the month. Lender will submit to Borrower monthly billings, which will consist of actual interest and principal due through the Bill Lead Date plus projected interest and principal due
through the balance of the month. Any necessary adjustments in the applicable interest rate and/or principal payments due or made between a Bill Lead Date and the end of the month will be reflected as an additional charge (or credit) in the billing
for the next following month. Neither the failure of Lender to submit a Bill Lead Date billing nor any error in any such billing will excuse Borrower’s obligation to make full payment of all amounts due under this Note. In its sole discretion,
Lender may cancel or modify the terms of such request which cancellation or modification will be effective upon written notification to Borrower. Should Borrower request a Bill Lead Date, Lender shall not be required to prepare a month end invoice.


  

	5.	MATURITY DATE. The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full on May 15, 2018 (“Maturity Date”). Principal
amounts outstanding hereunder, upon which repayment obligations exist and interest accrues, shall be determined by the records of the Lender, which shall be deemed to be conclusive in the absence of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary
presented by Borrower. 

  

	6.	 SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST. This Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Construction Deed of Trust with Absolute Assignment
of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated June 27, 2012, executed by Borrower, as trustor, to American Securities Company of Nevada, a Nevada corporation, as trustee, for the benefit of Lender, as beneficiary, and
recorded on July 10, 










	 	
2012 as Instrument No. 201207100000082 in the official records of Clark County, Nevada (“Official Records”) as modified by that certain Modification Agreement (“Modification
Agreement”) of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender, a memorandum (“Memorandum”), of which is being recorded concurrently herewith in the Official Records (as modified, the “Deed of Trust’’), and the
other Loan Documents as defined in that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith, executed by Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Reference is made to the Loan Agreement
for a description of the terms and conditions upon which advances may be made under this Note and repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be accelerated. 


 

	7.	DIRECT DEBIT. In order to assure timely payment to Lender of accrued interest, principal, fees and late charges due and owing under the loan evidenced by this Note, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
Lender to directly debit Borrower’s demand deposit account, account no. ***, with Lender for payment when due of all such amounts payable to Lender. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower is the legal owner of said account.
Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct debit shall be given to Borrower by Lender not less frequently than monthly. In the event any direct debit hereunder is returned for insufficient funds, Borrower shall pay Lender upon
demand, in immediately available funds, all amounts and expenses due and owing to Lender. 

  

	8.	LATE CHARGE. If any interest or principal payment required hereunder is not received by Lender (whether by direct debit or otherwise) on or before the
15th calendar day of the month (regardless of whether the 15th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) in which ii becomes due,
Borrower shall pay, at Lender’s option, a late or collection charge equal to 5% of the amount of such unpaid payment (“Late Charge”). 

  

	9.	PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay the Loan in part or in full at any time but shall be liable to Lender for ail amounts otherwise due and owing: (i) under the Loan Documents (including any LIBO Rate
Price Adjustment which may be due for the early termination of a LIBO Rate fixing) and/or (ii) under any derivative contract(s) (including any early termination charges on an interest rate swap) associated with the Loan. Borrower acknowledges
that any prepayment of the Loan shall cause Lender to lose its interest rate yield on the Loan and may cause Lender to have to reinvest the prepaid amount in loans with a lesser yield (including, without limitation, possibly in debt obligations
other than first mortgage loans on commercial properties). As a consequence, Borrower understands and agrees that the foregoing condition of prepayment is an integral part of the consideration for Lender making the Loan or extension of the Maturity
Date. 

  

	10.	DEFAULT RATE. From and after the Maturity Date or such earlier date on which a Default exists under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in Exhibit A), then at the option of Lender,
all sums owing on this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 5% in excess of the interest rate otherwise accruing under this Note (“Default Rate”). 


 

	11.	ACCELERATION. If: (a) Borrower shall fail to pay when due any sums payable hereunder; or (b) a Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) occurs under the Deed of Trust or under any obligation
secured thereby; THEN Lender may, at its sole option, declare all sums owing under this Note immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if any document related to this Note provides for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing
hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of that document. 

  

	12.	JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If this Note is executed by more than one (1) person or entity as Borrower, the obligations of each such person or entity shall be joint and several. No person or entity
shall be a mere accommodation maker, but each shall be primarily and directly liable hereunder. 

  

	13.	WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided, Borrower waives: presentment; demand; notice of dishonor; notice of default or delinquency; notice of acceleration; notice of protest and nonpayment; notice of costs,
expenses or losses and interest thereon; notice of late charges; and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note.










	14.	TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. 

  

	15.	GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state where the Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust) is located, except to the extent
preempted by federal laws. 

  

	16.	COMMERCIAL USE; MAXIMUM RATE PERMITTED BY LAW. Borrower hereby represents that this loan is for commercial use and not for personal, family or household purposes. It is the specific intent of the Borrower
and Lender that this Note bear a lawful rate of interest, and if any court of competent jurisdiction should determine that the rate herein provided for exceeds that which is statutorily permitted for the type of transaction evidenced hereby, the
interest rate shall be reduced to the highest rate permitted by applicable law, with any excess interest heretofore collected being applied against principal or, if such principal has been fully repaid, returned to Borrower on demand.


  

	17.	LENDER’S DAMAGES. Borrower recognizes that its default in making any payment as provided herein or in any other Loan Document as agreed to be paid when due, or the occurrence of any other Default
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, will require Lender to incur additional expense in servicing and administering the Loan, in loss to Lender of the use of the money due and in frustration to Lender in meeting its other financial and loan
commitments and that the damages caused thereby would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower agrees (a) that an amount equal to the Late Charge plus the accrual of interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of
the damage to Lender in the event of a late payment, and (b) that the accrual of interest at the Default Rate following any other Default is a reasonable estimate of the damage to Lender in the event of such other Default, regardless of whether
there has been an acceleration of the loan evidenced hereby. Nothing in this Note shall be construed as an obligation on the part of Lender to accept, at any time, less than the full amount then due hereunder, or as a waiver or limitation of
Lender’s right to compel prompt performance. 

  

	18.	WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOW OR HEREAFTER PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE
OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION HEREOF OR THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF BORROWER AND
LENDER OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN
EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND BORROWER HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A
COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF BORROWER TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT BORROWER MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

  

	19.	EXHIBITS. All exhibits, schedules or other items attached hereto are incorporated into this Note by such attachment for all purposes. 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Note has been executed as of the date first above written.

 EXHIBIT A 

FIXED RATE AGREEMENT 
 Exhibit A to
Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust (“Note”) made by CONCORDE REAL ESTATE, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, as Borrower, to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Lender. 

RECITALS 
 Borrower has requested
and Lender has agreed to provide the option to fix the rate of interest for specified periods on specified portions of the outstanding principal balance as a basis for calculating the Effective Rate on such portions of the principal amounts owing
under this Note (the “One-Month LIBO Rate Option”). Borrower understands: (i) the process of exercising the One-Month LIBO Rate Option as provided herein; (ii) that amounts owing under this Note may bear interest at different
rates and for different lime periods; and (iii) that absent the terms and conditions hereof, it would be extremely difficult to calculate Lender’s additional costs, expenses, and damages in the event of a Default or prepayment by Borrower
hereunder. Given the above, Borrower agrees that the provisions herein (including, without limitation, the One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment defined below) provide for a reasonable and fair method for Lender to recover its additional costs,
expenses and damages in the event of a Default or prepayment by Borrower. 
  

	1.	RATES AND TERMS DEFINED. Various rates and terms not otherwise defined herein are defined and described as follows: 


“Alternate Rate” is a rate of interest per annum 5% in excess of the applicable Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

 “Business Day” is a day of the week (but not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday) on which the offices of Lender are open to
the public for carrying on substantially all of Lender’s business functions. 
 “Effective Rate” is the rate of
interest calculated in accordance with Section 2 below. 
 “Federal Funds Rate” is, for any period, a fluctuating
interest rate per annum equal for each day during such period to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal Funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal Funds brokers, as published for such day (or,
if such day is not a Business Day, for the next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such
transactions received by Lender from three Federal Funds brokers of recognized standing selected by Lender. 
 “Loan
Agreement” is that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Borrower and Lender. 
 “Loan
Documents” are the documents defined as such in the Loan Agreement. 
 “One-Month LIBO Rate” is the rate of
interest equal to the sum of: (a) 2.50% plus (b) the rate of interest, rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), that is quoted by- Lender from time to time as the London InterBank Offered Rate for
deposits in U.S. Dollars, at approximately 9:00 a.m. (California time), for a period of 1 month (“One-Month Rate”), which rate is divided by one (1.00) minus die Reserve Percentage. Any change in an Effective Rate due to a change in
the One-Month LIBO Rate shall become effective on the day each such change occurs. 
  

									
		 	One-Month LIBO Rate = 2.50%	 	+	  	 One-Month Rate
	  	
		 		 		  	(1 - Reserve Percentage)	  	








 “One-Month LIBO Rate Period” is the period of 1 month from the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day) to, but not including, the fifteenth
(15th) day of the next calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day); provided, however, no One-Month LIBO Rate Period shall extend beyond the Maturity
Date. 
 “One-Month LIBO Rate Portion” is the then outstanding principal balance of this Note which is subject to a
One-Month LIBO Rate. In the event Borrower is subject to a principal amortization schedule under the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion shall in no event exceed the maximum outstanding principal balance which
will be permissible on the last day of the One-Month LIBO Rate Period. 
 “One-Month Rate” is the rate of interest defined
in the definition of “One-Month LIBO Rate” above. 
 “Regulatory Costs” are, collectively, future, supplemental,
emergency or other changes in Reserve Percentages, assessment rates imposed by the FDIC, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to a One-Month LIBO Rate. 

“Replacement Rate” is, for any day, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to 2.50% plus the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.50%. 

“Reserve Percentage” is at any time the percentage announced within Lender as the reserve percentage under Regulation D for
loans and obligations making reference to a One-Month LIBO Rate. The Reserve Percentage shall be based on Regulation D or other regulations from time to time in effect concerning reserves for Eurocurrency Liabilities as defined in Regulation D from
related institutions as though Lender were in a net borrowing position, as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or its successor. 

“Taxes” are, collectively, all withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and
franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to a One-Month LIBO Rate. 
  

	2.	EFFECTIVE RATE. Provided no Default exists under this Note or under any other Loan Document, the “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for this Note shall be one or more of the
following: 

  

	 	2.1	Initial Disbursement: Subsequent Disbursements During Any Calendar Month. For the initial disbursement of principal under this Note, and for any subsequent disbursement of principal during any calendar
month, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the One-Month LIBO Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Lender. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the
date immediately preceding the fifteenth (15th) day of the next calendar month. On the fifteenth (15th) day of the next calendar month, any principal disbursed during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the One-Month
LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under Section 2.2 below, in the event that, for any determination made pursuant to this Section 2.1. the fifteenth (15th) day of a month is not a Business Day the
relevant date shall be the next Business Day. 

  

	 	2.2	Monthly Reset of One-Month LIBO Rate. Commencing with the fifteenth (15th) day of the first
(1st) calendar month after the initial disbursement of principal under this Note, and continuing thereafter on the fifteenth
(15th) day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding One-Month LIBO Rate Portion under this Note (i.e., all outstanding principal on such fifteenth (15th) day of the month) shall be reset to the One-Month LIBO Rate, as determined by Lender on each such fifteenth (15th) day of the month.


 Notwithstanding the above, Borrower, by written notice to Lender not less than 3 Business Days prior to the fifteenth (15th) day of any calendar month, may elect that the Effective Rate for all or 







 
any part of the outstanding principal balance on this Note for the One-Month LIBO Rate Period commencing on such fifteenth (15th) day of
the month shall be the One-Month LIBO Rate, as determined by Lender, reset daily. Each such election shall apply only to a single One-Month LIBO Rate Period. If Borrower makes this election consecutively for more than a single One- Month LIBO Rate
Period, or if Borrower makes this election for more than a total of 3 One-Month LIBO Rate Periods during the term of this Note, THEN, the Effective Rate for each such additional One-Month LIBO Rate Period shall be 0.25% plus the One-Month LIBO rate
as determined by Lender, reset daily. 
 In the event that, for any determination made pursuant to this Section 2.2, the fifteenth
(15th) day of a month is not a Business Day the relevant date shall be the next Business Day. 
  

	 	2.3	Written Requests. Any written request by Borrower to Lender shall be delivered to Lender at the Minneapolis Loan Center, 608 2nd Ave South, 11th Floor,
Minneapolis, MN 55402, with a copy to Lender at Carlsbad Regional Commercial Banking Office 5901 Priestly Drive, Suite 306, 3rd Floor, Carlsbad, CA 92008, MAC E2413-030, Attention: Marcus Di Fiore, or at such other place as may be designated in
writing by Lender. 

  

	 	2.4	If One-Month LIBO Rate Becomes Unavailable. In the event the One-Month LIBO Rate, for any reason, should become prohibited or unavailable to Lender, or, if in Lender’s good faith judgment, it is not
possible or practical for Lender to set a One-Month LIBO Rate, THEN, the Effective Rate shall be the Replacement Rate. 

  

	 	2.5.	Post Maturity; Default Rate. From and after the Maturity Date or such earlier date on which a Default exists under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, then at the option of Lender, all sums
owing on this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Rate. 

  

	 	3.	TAXES, REGULATORY COSTS AND RESERVE PERCENTAGES. Upon Lender’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Note and Loan
Documents, any and all Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate. Further, at Lender’s option, each Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve
Percentage, as determined by Lender in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Lender) of any such Regulatory Costs. Lender shall give Borrower notice of any Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as
practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given. 

  

	 	4.	ONE-MONTH LIBO RATE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion during a One-Month LIBO rate Period shall result in Lender’s incurring
additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a One-Month LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums
payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lender) an amount (“One- Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”)
equal to the then present value of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the One-Month LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the One-Month LIBO Rate Period at the One-Month LIBO Rate set on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month in which such amount is prepaid or becomes due (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), less (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on the
same One-Month LIBO Rate Portion tor the same period if the One-Month) LIBO Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the One-Month LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by using as a discount
rate the One-Month Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date. 








 By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lender’s
agreement to make the loan evidenced by this Note at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement.

 BORROWER INITIALS :    /s/ MC 
  

	 	5.	PURCHASE, SALE AND MATCHING OF FUNDS. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lender has no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a
One-Month Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a One-Month rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate or a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and
(c) Borrower has accepted a One-Month Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate or a One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the One-Month LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, Taxes and Regulatory
Costs, if any, whether or not Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. 

  

	 	6.	MISCELLANEOUS. As used in this Exhibit, the plural shall mean the singular and the singular shall mean the plural as the context requires. 


This Exhibit is executed concurrently with and as part of the Note referred to and described first above.
