interest in and to the following described investment property, together with any and all present and future additions thereto, substitutions therefor, and replacements thereof, and further together with all Income and Proceeds as described herein:

hereafter arising, whether related or unrelated to the purpose of the Developer Notes, whether voluntary or otherwise, whether due or not due, direct or indirect, determined or undetermined, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,

and whether the obligation to repay such amounts may be or hereafter may become otherwise unenforceable. 
 RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Grantors’ accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantors hold jointly with someone else and all accounts
Grantors may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantors authorize Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff
all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE
COLLATERAL. Grantors represent and warrant to Lender that:

respective Collateral free and clear of all security interests, liens, encumbrances and claims of others except as disclosed to and accepted by Lender in writing prior to execution of this Agreement. 

Right to Pledge. Grantors have the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral.

 Authority; Binding Effect. Grantors have the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
grant a security interest in the Collateral to Lender. This Agreement is binding upon Grantors as well as Grantors’ successors and assigns, and is legally enforceable in accordance with its terms. The foregoing representations and warranties,
and all other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are and shall be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as this Agreement is terminated or cancelled as provided herein. 

No Further Assignment. Grantors have not, and shall not, sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of
Grantors’ rights in the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement. 
 Enforceability of Collateral. To
the extent the Collateral consists of promissory notes or other instruments, as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Collateral is enforceable in accordance with its terms, is genuine, and fully complies with all applicable laws and
regulations concerning form, content and manner of preparation and execution, and all persons appearing to be obligated on the Collateral have authority and capacity to 

 
contract and are in fact obligated as they appear to be on the Collateral. There shall be no setoffs or counterclaims against any of the Collateral, and no agreement shall have been made under
which any deductions or discounts may be claimed concerning the Collateral except those disclosed to Lender in writing. 

No Defaults. There are no defaults existing under the Collateral, and there are no offsets or counterclaims to the same.
Grantors will strictly and promptly perform each of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements, if any, contained in the Collateral which are to be performed by Grantors.

which Grantors are a party, and their respective membership agreements do not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement. 
 Financing Statements. Grantors authorize Lender to file a UCC financing statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to perfect Lender’s security interest. At Lender’s request, Grantors

title covering the Property. Grantors will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantors irrevocably appoint Lender to
execute documents necessary to transfer title if there is a default. Lender may file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement. If Grantors change Grantors’ name or address, or the name or address of any person granting a security
interest under this Agreement changes, Grantors will promptly notify the Lender of such change. 
 LENDER’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Lender may hold the Collateral until all Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied. Thereafter Lender may deliver the Collateral to Grantors or to any other owner of the Collateral. Lender shall have the following
rights in addition to all other rights Lender may have by law: 
 Maintenance and Protection of Collateral. Lender
may, but shall not be obligated to, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable to protect, maintain, insure, store, or care for the Collateral, including paying of any liens or claims against the Collateral. This may include such things as
hiring other people, such as attorneys, appraisers or other experts. Lender may charge Grantors for any cost incurred in so doing. When applicable law provides more than one method of perfection of Lender’s security interest, Lender may choose
the method(s) to be used. 
 Income and Proceeds from the Collateral. Lender may receive all Income and Proceeds and
add it to the Collateral. Grantors agree to deliver to Lender immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and without commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from the Collateral which may be received by, paid, or delivered
to Grantors or for Grantors’ account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of, in substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral. 
 Application of Cash. At Lender’s option, Lender may apply any cash, whether included in the Collateral or received as Income and Proceeds or through liquidation, sale, or retirement, of the Collateral,
to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender shall choose, whether or not matured. 

Transactions with Others. Lender may (1) extend time for payment or other performance, (2) grant a renewal or
change in terms or conditions, or (3) compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or more Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender deems advisable, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Grantors, and no such act or failure to act shall affect Lender’s rights against Grantors or the Collateral. 
 All
Collateral Secures Indebtedness. All Collateral shall be security for the Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more offices or branches of Lender. This will be the case whether or not the office or branch where Grantors
obtained the Developer Notes knows about the Collateral or relies upon the Collateral as security. 
 Collection of
Collateral. Lender at Lender’s option may, but need not, collect the Income and Proceeds directly from the Obligors. Grantors authorize and direct the Obligors, if Lender decides to collect the Income and Proceeds, to pay and deliver to
Lender all Income and Proceeds from the Collateral and to accept Lender’s receipt for the payments. 
 Additional
Authorizations. Grantors irrevocably authorize Lender, with full power of substitution, to do any of the following, either in Lender’s own name or in the name of Grantors, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem necessary
or advisable: (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all Income and Proceeds and other sums of money and other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from the Obligors in accordance with the
terms of the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments, receipts, checks, drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and
execute and deliver any release and acquittance therefor; (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any proceedings; and (e) to execute and deliver to the Obligors, at the time and in the manner
specified by the Collateral, any necessary instruments or documents. It is understood and agreed that any exercise of this authorization by Lender shall be on behalf of Lender and not on behalf of Grantors. Lender is not an agent or fiduciary of
Grantors. However, in exercising the authorization granted hereby, Lender shall exercise reasonable caution and prudence and Lender shall keep full and accurate record of all actions, receipts and disbursements. 

Perfection of Security Interest. Upon Lender’s request, Grantors will deliver to Lender any and all of the documents
evidencing or constituting the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of perfection of Lender’s security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used. Upon Lender’s request, Grantors will sign and deliver any
writings necessary to perfect Lender’s security interest. Grantors hereby irrevocably authorize Lender to execute any documents necessary to perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement or to demand termination
of filings of other secured parties. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and even though for a period of time Grantors may not be indebted to
Lender. 
 LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s
interest in the Collateral or if Grantors fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantors’ failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantors are required to discharge
or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantors’ behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security
interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the BMH Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantors. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand;
(B) be added to the balance of the BMH Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the BMH Note;
or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the BMH Note maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default. 

 LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care in the physical
preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender’s possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no responsibility for (A) any
depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (B) preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third persons, (C) ascertaining any
maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers, tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (D) informing Grantors about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Except
as provided above, Lender shall have no liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral. 
 DEFAULT. Each of the
following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: 
 Payment Default. Grantors fail to make any
payment when due under the Indebtedness. 
 Other Defaults. Grantors fail to comply with or to perform any other
term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Grantors.

 False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Grantors or on
Grantors’ behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter. 

Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including
failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason. 
 Insolvency. The dissolution of either of Grantors (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from the limited liability company, or any other termination of either of
Grantors’ existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of either of Grantors, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Grantors’ property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor
workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against either of Grantors. 

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding,
self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantors or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantors’ accounts, including deposit accounts, with
Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantors as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantors give Lender written
notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute. 
 Events Affecting Guarantors. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of
the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. 
 Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in either of Grantor’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. 

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies: 
 Accelerate Indebtedness. Declare all Indebtedness, including any
prepayment penalty which Grantors would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Grantors. 
 Collect the Collateral. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender’s option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.

 Sell the Collateral. Sell the Collateral, at Lender’s discretion, as a unit or in parcels, at one or more
public or private sales. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail to Grantors, and other persons as required by law, notice at
least ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale may be made. However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after an Event of Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person’s right to notification of sale. Grantors agree that any requirement of reasonable notice as to Grantors is satisfied if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantors at the last
address Grantors have given Lender in writing. If a public sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all requirements of notice to the public by a single publication in any newspaper of general circulation in the county where the
Collateral is located, setting forth the time and place of sale and a brief description of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any public sale. 

Sell Securities. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state
securities laws. If, because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is unable, or believes Lender is unable, to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantors agree that Lender will have no obligation to delay sale until the securities
can be registered. Then Lender may make a private sale to one or more persons or to a restricted group of persons, even though such sale may result in a price that is less favorable than might be obtained in an open market transaction. Such a sale
will be considered commercially reasonable. If any securities held as Collateral are “restricted securities” as defined in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or the rules of state
securities departments under state “Blue Sky” laws, or if Grantors or any other owner of the Collateral is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities, Grantors agree that neither Grantors, nor any member of Grantors’ families, nor
any other person signing this Agreement will sell or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender’s prior written consent. 
 Foreclosure. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the Collateral. 
 Transfer Title. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the Collateral. For this purpose, Grantors irrevocably authorize Lender to execute endorsements, assignments and instruments in the name
of Grantors and each of them (if more than one) as shall be necessary or reasonable. 
 Other Rights and Remedies.
Have and exercise any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise. 

Application of Proceeds. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or which is received from the collection or sale of
the Collateral, to reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and including
any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the Indebtedness of Grantors to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to Grantors as the

 
interests of Grantors may appear. Grantors agree, to the extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness. 

Election of Remedies. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies, whether
evidenced by this Agreement, the Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election
to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantors under this Agreement, after Grantors’ failure to perform, shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies. 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement: 

Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the
parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

 Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. Grantors agree to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses,
including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and Grantors shall pay the
costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Grantors also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

 Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to
interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement. 
 Governing Law. With respect to procedural matters related to
the perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Collateral, this Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In all
other respects, this Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. However, if there
ever is a question about whether any provision of this Agreement is valid or enforceable, the provision that is questioned will be governed by whichever state or federal law would find the provision to be valid and enforceable. The loan transactions
that are evidenced by the Developer Notes and this Agreement has been applied for, considered, approved and made, and all necessary loan documents have been accepted by Lender in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Grantors agree upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the county in which Lender’s following address is located: 3508 WASHINGTON ROAD, MCMURRAY, PA15317. 
 No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantors, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Grantors’ obligations as to any future
transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases
such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender. 
 Notices. Unless otherwise provided by
applicable law, any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a
nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may
change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Grantors agree to keep Lender informed at
all times of Grantors’ current address. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors. 

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal,
valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall
not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 
 Successor
Interests. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon Grantors, and upon Grantors’ heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, and shall be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns.

POSSESSION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY. Grantor agrees that Grantor’s possession and use of the Property shall be governed by the
following provisions:

(1) remain in possession and control of the Property; (2) use, operate or manage the Property; and (3) collect the Rents from the Property.

has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been, except as previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws, (b) any use, generation, manufacture, storage,
treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Property by any prior owners or occupants of the Property, or (c) any actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person

including without limitation all Environmental Laws. Grantor authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Property to make such inspections and tests, at Grantor’s expense, as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the
Property with this section of the Mortgage. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for Lender’s purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Grantor or to any other

or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws; and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses
which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Mortgage or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring prior to
Grantor’s ownership or interest in the Property, whether or not the same was or should have been known to Grantor. The provisions of this section of the Mortgage, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of
the Indebtedness and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Mortgage and shall not be affected by Lender’s acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. 

Nuisance, Waste. Grantor shall not cause, conduct or permit any nuisance nor commit, permit, or suffer any stripping of or
waste on or to the Property or any portion of the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor will not remove, or grant to any other party the right to remove, any timber, minerals (including oil and gas), coal, clay, scoria,
soil, gravel or rock products without Lender’s prior written consent. 
 Removal of Improvements. Grantor shall

Improvements with Improvements of at least equal value.

comply with any and all environmental permits or requirements applicable to the Property, including without limitation, any permits or requirements relating to wetlands mitigation or preservation. Grantor may contest in good faith any such law,
ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Grantor has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion, Lender’s interests in the
Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Grantor to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest. 

Duty to Protect. Grantor agrees neither to abandon or leave unattended the Property. Grantor shall do all other acts, in
addition to those acts set forth above in this section, which from the character and use of the Property are reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the Property.

completed in accordance with 

 
construction documentation utilized to effect the development of the Property in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and Grantor shall pay in full all costs and expenses in connection with the
work. Lender will disburse loan proceeds under such terms and conditions as Lender may deem reasonably necessary to insure that the interest created by this Mortgage shall have priority over all possible liens, including those of material suppliers
and workmen. Lender may require, among other things, that disbursement requests be supported by receipted bills, expense affidavits, waivers of liens, construction progress reports, and such other documentation as Lender may reasonably request.

 DUE ON SALE - CONSENT BY LENDER. With the exception of those portions of the Property that are released by Lender in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Lender may, at Lender’s option, declare immediately due and payable all sums secured by this Mortgage upon the sale or transfer, without Lender’s prior written consent, of all or any
part of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real Property. A “sale or transfer” means the conveyance of Real Property or any right, title or interest in the Real Property; whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or
involuntary; whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest, lease-option contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title
to the Real Property, or by any other method of conveyance of an interest in the Real Property. If any Grantor is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, transfer also includes any change in ownership of more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the voting stock, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, of such Grantor. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by federal law or by
Pennsylvania law. 
 TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part of this
Mortgage: 
 Payment. Grantor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to delinquency) all taxes, payroll taxes,
special taxes, assessments, water charges and sewer service charges levied against or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished to the Property. Grantor shall
maintain the Property free of any liens having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, except for those liens specifically agreed to in writing by Lender, and except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due as
further specified in the Right to Contest paragraph. 
 Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax,
assessment, or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lender’s interest in the Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor shall within fifteen
(15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed, within fifteen (15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender, deposit with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety
bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, or other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any contest,
Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property. Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings. 

Evidence of Payment. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to Lender satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments
and shall authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the Property. 

Notice of Construction. Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any work is commenced, any
services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic’s lien, materialmen’s lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the work, services, or materials. Grantor will upon request of Lender furnish
to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements. 
 PROPERTY DAMAGE
INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Mortgage: 
 Maintenance of
Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to
avoid application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall also procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as Lender may request with Lender being
named as additional insureds in such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business interruption and boiler insurance as Lender may require. Policies shall be
written by such insurance companies and in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor shall deliver to Lender certificates of coverage from each insurer containing a stipulation that coverage will not be cancelled or diminished
without a minimum of ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender and not containing any disclaimer of the insurer’s liability for failure to give such notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that
coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real Property be located in an area designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a
special flood hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if available, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set
under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan. 
 Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.
Whether or not Lender’s security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender’s election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or
the restoration and repair of the Property. If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory
proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under this Mortgage. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt
and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under 

 
this Mortgage, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the
Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests may appear. 
 Grantor’s Report on
Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the
policy; (4) the property insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the policy. Grantor shall, upon request of Lender, have an independent
appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value replacement cost of the Property. 
 LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any
action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Mortgage or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to
discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Mortgage or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including
but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the
Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity. The Mortgage also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall
be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default. Grantor’s obligation to Lender for all such expenses shall survive the entry of any mortgage foreclosure judgment. 

WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE. The following provisions relating to ownership of the Property are a part of this Mortgage: 

Title. Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good and marketable title of record to the Property in fee simple, free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those set forth in the Real Property description or in any title insurance policy, title report, or final title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection with this Mortgage,
and (b) Grantor has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage to Lender. 
 Defense
of Title. Subject to the exception in the paragraph above, Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property against the lawful claims of all persons. In the event any action or proceeding is commenced that questions
Grantor’s title or the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, Grantor shall defend the action at Grantor’s expense. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to
be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender’s own choice, and Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time to permit such participation. 

Compliance With Laws. Grantor warrants that the Property and Grantor’s use of the Property complies with all existing
applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations of governmental authorities. 
 Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations, warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Mortgage shall survive the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, shall be continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as
Grantor’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full. 
 CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings
are a part of this Mortgage: 
 Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly
notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award. Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding
and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such participation.

 Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by
any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to the Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net proceeds of the
award shall mean the award after payment of all actual costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with the condemnation. 
 IMPOSITION OF TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. The following provisions relating to governmental taxes, fees and charges are a part of this Mortgage: 

Current Taxes, Fees and Charges. Upon request by Lender, Grantor shall execute such documents in addition to this Mortgage
and take whatever other action is requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender’s lien on the Real Property. Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all taxes, as described below, together with all expenses incurred in recording, perfecting or
continuing this Mortgage, including without limitation all taxes, fees, documentary stamps, and other charges for recording or registering this Mortgage. 
 Taxes. The following shall constitute taxes to which this section applies: (1) a specific tax upon this type of Mortgage or upon all or any part of the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage; (2) a

(4) a specific tax on all or any portion of the Indebtedness or on payments of principal and interest made by Grantor. 
 Subsequent Taxes. If any tax to which this section applies is enacted subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, this event shall have the same effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any or all
of its available remedies for 

 
an Event of Default as provided below unless Grantor either (1) pays the tax before it becomes delinquent, or (2) contests the tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and
deposits with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender.

FINANCING STATEMENTS. The following provisions relating to this Mortgage as a security agreement are a part of this Mortgage: 
 Security Agreement. This instrument shall constitute a Security Agreement to the extent any of the Property constitutes fixtures, Rents or Personal Property, and Lender shall have all of the rights of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as amended from time to time and other applicable law with respect to all such fixtures, as well as all Personal Property, Rents and Leases. 

Security Interest. Upon request by Lender, Grantor shall take whatever action is requested by Lender to perfect and continue
Lender’s security interest in the Rents and Personal Property. In addition to recording this Mortgage in the real property records, Lender may, at any time and without further authorization from Grantor, file executed counterparts, copies or
reproductions of this Mortgage as a financing statement. Grantor shall reimburse Lender for all expenses incurred in perfecting or continuing this security interest. Upon default, Grantor shall not remove, sever or detach the Personal Property from
the Property. Upon default, Grantor shall assemble any Personal Property not affixed to the Property in a manner and at a place reasonably convenient to Grantor and Lender and make it available to Lender within three (3) days after receipt of
written demand from Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law.

offices and places as Lender may deem appropriate, any and all such mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates, and other documents as

all the obligations imposed upon Grantor under this Mortgage, Lender shall execute and deliver to Grantor a suitable satisfaction of this Mortgage and suitable statements of termination of any financing statement on file evidencing Lender’s
security interest in the Rents and the Personal Property. Grantor will pay, if permitted by applicable law, any reasonable termination fee as determined by Lender from time to time.

 Other
Defaults. Grantor fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Mortgage or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition
contained in any other agreement between Lender and Grantor. 
 False Statements. Any warranty, representation or

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender, at Lender’s option, may
exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law: 
 Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option, after giving such notices as required by applicable law, to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable. 

UCC Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Leases, fixtures now or hereafter located on the
Property, or Rents, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. 

Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the
Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender’s costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make payments of
rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably authorizes Lender to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds.
Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender’s demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this
subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a receiver. 
 Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to
have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Property and apply the
proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the
Property exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver. 
 Judicial Foreclosure. Lender may obtain a judicial decree foreclosing Grantor’s interest in all or any part of the Property. 

Nonjudicial Sale. If permitted by applicable law, Lender may foreclose Grantor’s interest in all or in any part of the
Personal Property or the Real Property by non-judicial sale. 
 Deficiency Judgment. Lender may obtain a judgment
for any deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this section. 

Tenancy at Sufferance. If Grantor remains in possession of the Property after the Property is sold as provided above or
Lender otherwise becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Grantor, Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser of the Property and shall, at Lender’s option, either (1) pay a reasonable
rental for the use of the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon the demand of Lender. 
 Other
Remedies. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or the Note or available at law or in equity. 
 Sale of the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any and all right to have the Property marshalled. In exercising its rights and remedies, Lender shall be free to sell
all or any part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property. 

Notice of Sale. Lender shall give Grantor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Personal Property
or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal Property is to be made. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least ten (10) days before the time of
the sale or disposition. Any sale of the Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real Property. 

Election of Remedies. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election
to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Mortgage, after Grantor’s failure to perform, shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies. Nothing under this Mortgage
or otherwise shall be construed so as to limit or restrict the rights and remedies available to Lender following an 

 
Event of Default, or in any way to limit or restrict the rights and ability of Lender to proceed directly against Grantor and/or against any other co-maker, guarantor, surety or endorser and/or
to proceed against any other collateral directly or indirectly securing the Indebtedness. 
 Attorneys’ Fees;
Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the terms of this Mortgage, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees at trial and upon any appeal. Whether or not
any court action is involved, and to the extent not prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses Lender incurs that in Lender’s opinion are necessary at any time for the protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a
part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid. Expenses covered by this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any limits under applicable law,
Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic
stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services, the cost of searching records, obtaining title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors’ reports, and appraisal fees and title insurance, to the
extent permitted by applicable law. Lender may also recover from Grantor all court, alternative dispute resolution or other collection costs (including, without limitation, fees and charges of collection agencies) actually incurred by Lender.

 NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, any notice required to be given under this Mortgage shall be given in
writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States
mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Mortgage. All copies of notices of foreclosure from the holder of any lien which has priority over this Mortgage shall be

change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor’s current address. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender
to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors.

a part of this Mortgage:

residence, Grantor shall furnish to Lender, upon request, a certified statement of net operating income received from the Property during Grantor’s previous fiscal year in such form and detail as Lender shall require. “Net operating

by Lender of a provision of this Mortgage shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Mortgage. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course
of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Mortgage, the granting of
such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender. 

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Mortgage to be illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal,
valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Mortgage. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Mortgage shall not
affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Mortgage.
