a.

This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust (“Deed of Trust”) of even date herewith encumbering that certain real property located in the County of Owyhee, State of Idaho and more particularly described in the Deed of Trust (referred to as the “Real Property”).  The Deed of Trust contains terms and provisions for acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note together with additional remedies in the event of default.  Failure on the part of Lender to exercise any right granted herein or in the Deed of Trust shall not constitute a waiver of such right or preclude the subsequent exercise and enforcement thereof.  This Note and the Deed of Trust and all other documents and instruments executed as further evidence of, as additional security for, or executed in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”

b.

Except as herein otherwise provided, all parties to this Note, jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of demand and of nonpayment or dishonor and of protest, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever, and agree to remain bound hereby until the Principal Amount of this Note is paid in full.

7.

Default.

a.

If default shall be made in the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note or in the payment of any other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or should any default be made in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, then, at the option of Lender, the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other sums advanced by Lender on behalf of Borrower shall become and be immediately due and payable then or thereafter as Lender may elect, regardless of the Maturity Date.  The Principal Amount shall not bear any interest.  Any other payments due to Borrower shall be charged interest until paid in full (based on a 365-day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed) at a rate equal to what is allowed by the State of Idaho.  Any and all default interest collected on this Note shall be calculated, collected and held in long term escrow by Pioneer Title Company for the benefit of the Lender pursuant to the terms of that certain Long Term Escrow Agreement dated November ___, 2009 by and among Silver Falcon Mining, Inc., Joyce Livestock Company Limited Partnership and Pioneer Title Company.

b.

During the existence of any default, Lender may apply any sums received, >including but not limited to, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, to any amount then due and owing hereunder or under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents as Lender may determine.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to apply such proceeds as aforesaid shall serve to cure the default or preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default under the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

-2-

 

c.

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Lender’s right, power and privilege to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be conditioned upon, (i) with respect to any monetary default Lender giving Borrower written notice of the monetary default and five (5) days after the date of such notice, within which to cure the monetary default and (ii) with respect to any non-monetary default Lender giving Borrower written notice of the non-monetary default and thirty (30) day period, after the date of such notice, within which to cure such non-monetary default, unless such non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day time period, in which event Borrower shall have an extended period of time to complete cure, provided that action to cure such non-monetary default has commenced within said thirty (30) day period and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not diminishing or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion.

d.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, during any period of default and regardless of any cure period applicable to such default, in each instance under this Note, the Deed of Trust, or any of the other Loan Documents in which either (i) Borrower is permitted to take an action without Lender’s prior written consent or (ii) Lender’s consent is to be exercised reasonably, Lender’s consent shall be required and shall be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

8.

Exculpation.

a.

The liability of Borrower with respect to the payment of the Principal Amount shall be “non-recourse” and, accordingly, Lender’s source of satisfaction of said indebtedness and Borrower’s other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the Real Property.  Lender shall not seek to procure payment out of any other assets of Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower, or to seek judgment (except as hereinafter provided) for any sums which are or may be payable under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, as well as any claim or judgment (except as hereafter provided) for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a release or impairment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or the security therefor intended by the other Loan Documents or to preclude Lender from exercising its rights to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to enforce any of its other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

b.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the aforesaid limitation on liability shall in no way affect or apply to Borrower’s continued personal liability for all sums due to:

i.

fraud or material misrepresentation made in or in connection with this Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

-3-

ii.

failure to pay taxes and assessments prior to delinquency, or to pay charges for labor, materials or other charges which may create liens on any portion of the Property;

the return of, or reimbursement for, all Fixtures and Personal Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust) owned by Borrower taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower, out of the ordinary course of business, and not replaced by items of equal or greater value than the original value of the Fixtures and Personal Property so removed;

ix.

all court costs and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees (as hereinafter defined) actually incurred which are provided for in this Note or in any of the other Loan Documents;

Borrower shall not be liable hereunder if the Property becomes contaminated subsequent to Lender’s acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof or subsequent to any transfer of ownership of the Property which was approved or authorized by Lender pursuant to the Deed of Trust, provided that such transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents pertaining to Hazardous Materials.  Liability under this subparagraph shall extend beyond repayment of this Note and compliance with the terms of the Deed of Trust unless Borrower at such time provides Lender with an environmental assessment report acceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion, showing the Property to be free of Hazardous Materials and not in violation of Hazardous Waste Laws.  The burden of proof under this subparagraph with regard to establishing the date upon which such Hazardous Materials were placed or appeared in, on or under the Property shall be upon Borrower.
