 4. Collections, etc. The Collateral Agent may,
and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time that a Default exists, whether before or after the maturity of any Liabilities, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent
of any amount due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any Non-Tangible Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any 

  
 4 

 
part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Collateral
Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will, at its own expense, notify any party obligated on any Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties of any amount due or to become due
thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time no Default exists, the Collateral Agent shall notify any party to which it has given a notice or with respect to which the Collateral Agent has otherwise taken action under this paragraph, to
resume making payments to the applicable Debtor. 
 Upon request by the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will
forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Collateral Agent, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected
by the Collateral Agent) that may be received by such Debtor at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral; provided that if at any time after such a request is made by the Collateral Agent, no
Default exists, the obligations of each Debtor under this paragraph shall cease until a further request of the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default. 

During the existence of a Default, (a) all items or amounts that are delivered by any Debtor to the Collateral Agent on account of
payment of, or otherwise as proceeds of, any Collateral pursuant to the foregoing paragraph shall be deposited to the credit of a deposit account (each an “Assignee Deposit Account”) of such Debtor maintained with the Collateral
Agent, as security for payment of the Liabilities, and (b) except as expressly set forth herein, no Debtor shall have any right to withdraw any funds deposited in the applicable Assignee Deposit Account. If funds are being deposited into an
Assignee Deposit Account pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders, and shall upon request of the applicable Debtor made not more than once in any
week, apply the then balance, representing collected funds, in the Assignee Deposit Account, toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not then due, in such order of application as the Required Lenders may determine, and the Collateral Agent
may, from time to time, in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders, release any portion of such balance to the applicable Debtor; provided that (i) if a Lender shall have notified the Collateral Agent in writing of its
desire to withhold all funds in the Assignee Deposit Account during the continuance of a Default, then no such release of funds may be made to the Debtor without the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) if any Debtor requests release to it
of any such funds, such request shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of such Debtor that sets forth the intended use of such funds (each such certificate, a “Collateral Release Certificate”). At any
time no Default exists, the Collateral Agent shall, upon request of the applicable Debtor and receipt of a Collateral Release Certificate, release the balance in the Assignee Deposit Account to such Debtor. 

During the existence of a Default, the Collateral Agent is authorized to endorse, in the name of the applicable Debtor, any item, howsoever
received by the Collateral Agent, representing any payment on or other proceeds of any Collateral. 

  
 5 

 Each Debtor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or completing any instrument that the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled
with an interest; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise its rights as such attorney-in-fact unless a Default exists. 

5. Certificates, Schedules and Reports. Each Debtor will from time to time deliver to the Collateral Agent, such schedules, certificates
and reports with respect to the Collateral, and with respect to items or amounts received by such Debtor in full or partial payment of any Collateral, as the Collateral Agent (at the direction of any Lender) may reasonably request. Any such
schedule, certificate or report shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such Debtor and shall be in such form and detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the
occurrence of any event causing any loss or depreciation in the value of its Inventory or other Goods that is material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and such notice shall specify or reasonably estimate the amount of such
loss or depreciation. 
 6. Agreements of the Debtors. Each Debtor (a) will, from time to time, execute (as applicable) such
financing statements and other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent) and do such other acts and things (including delivery to the Collateral Agent of any
Instruments or Certificated Securities that constitute Collateral), as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to establish and maintain a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral (free of all other Liens other
than Permitted Liens) to secure the payment of the Liabilities; (b) will not change its state of organization or incorporation or its name, identity or corporate structure such that any financing statement filed to perfect the Collateral
Agent’s interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading, unless such Debtor shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of such change (provided that this Section 6(b)
shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Loan Agreement); (c) will keep its records concerning Non-Tangible Collateral in such a manner as will enable the Collateral Agent or its designees to determine at
any time the status of such Non-Tangible Collateral; (d) will furnish the Collateral Agent such information concerning such Debtor, the Collateral and the Account Debtors as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request;
(e) will, upon request of the Collateral Agent, stamp on its records concerning the Collateral and add on all Chattel Paper constituting a portion of the Collateral, a notation, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
indicating the security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder; (f) except for Permitted Liens and as otherwise permitted by the Loan Agreement, will not sell, lease, assign or create or permit to exist any Lien on or security interest in
any Collateral; (g) will at all times keep all its Inventory and other Goods insured under policies maintained with responsible insurance companies against loss, damage, theft and other risks to such extent as is required by the Loan Agreement,
and cause all such policies to provide that loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent, and copies of such policies or certificates thereof shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, be deposited with or furnished to the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; (h) will, upon request of the Collateral Agent, (1) cause to be noted, on the applicable certificate for any of its Equipment that is covered by
a certificate of 

  
 6 

 
title, the security interest of the Collateral Agent in such Equipment and (2) deliver all such certificates to the Collateral Agent or its designees; (i) will take all steps reasonably
necessary to protect, preserve and maintain all of its rights in the Collateral; (j) will not keep any of its property, except motor vehicles and inventory in transit, or maintain any place of business at any location other than its addresses
shown on Schedule II or such other locations as may be specified by such Debtor upon not less than 15 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, provided that if requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to such
property, the Collateral Agent (1) has a mortgage lien on such property (if such property is owned by a Debtor) or (2) has received a landlord waiver reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent with respect to such property (if such
property is leased by a Debtor); (k) will not maintain any place of business at any location other than in the United States; and (l) will, promptly upon any Responsible Officer of such Debtor obtaining knowledge that such Debtor has
acquired a Commercial Tort Claim, notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, with such writing to
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 
 Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file
(without the signature of such Debtor) any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment to financing statement in any jurisdiction and with any filing office as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or
advisable to perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder. Any such financing statement or amendment may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by the
parties in connection herewith, or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure
the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property”, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. 

All reasonable expenses incurred in protecting, preserving and maintaining any Collateral shall be borne by the applicable Debtor. Whenever a
Default exists, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property or licenses thereunder, in which event the applicable Debtor shall at the request of the Collateral Agent do all lawful acts and execute all
proper documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement, and such Debtor shall (subject only to any limitation set forth in any Guaranty issued by any Debtor) promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (i) in the exercise of its rights under this Section 6 or any other any right or remedy granted to it hereunder, (ii) in respect of any claim and the
prosecution or defense thereof arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, and (iii) in respect of the collection or enforcement of the Liabilities, except to the extent any of the foregoing are found by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent does not assume
any obligation of any Debtor under any contract or other document included in the Collateral by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement or any security interest granted hereunder. 

  
 7 

 7. Default. (a) Whenever a Default exists, the Collateral Agent may exercise from
time to time any right or remedy available to it under the UCC, under any other applicable law and/or as described below. 
 (b) Each Debtor
agrees, if a Default exists, (i) to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Collateral Agent and (ii) to execute all documents and do all other
things that may be necessary in order to enable the Collateral Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority. 

(c) Each Debtor agrees and acknowledges that (i) with respect to Collateral that is: (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily
in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after a Default and at least ten
days before any proposed disposition provides notice a reasonable time before such disposition. 
 (d) Each Debtor agrees and acknowledges
that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Debtor further agrees and acknowledges that
a disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among sellers of the type
of property subject to such disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable. 
 (e) Any cash proceeds of any disposition
by the Collateral Agent of any Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to the payment of the Liabilities until paid in full, and any surplus will be paid to the applicable Debtor or as a court
of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 (f) In its sole discretion, the Collateral Agent may cancel, forgive or release any TIF Debt. 

8. General. The Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession (and
the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised such reasonable care if it takes any action that the applicable Debtor requests in writing for such purpose, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request shall not of
itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the Collateral Agent to preserve or protect any right with respect to any Collateral against prior parties in interest or other rights pertaining to the Collateral, shall be
deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral). 
 All notices and requests hereunder shall
be given in accordance with Section 14.3 of the Loan Agreement and sent to the applicable party at its address described therewith, at the first address shown for such party on Schedule II or at such other address as such party may, by
written notice to the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. 

  
 8 

 No delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate
as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not yet
due and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Upon any such payment and termination, the Collateral Agent will, upon any Debtor’s request and at such Debtor’s sole expense, (i) deliver to such Debtor, without any
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all of such Debtor’s Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (ii) execute and deliver
to such Debtor such documents as such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and the release of any security interest granted hereby. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Collateral Agent or
any other Lender Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Collateral Agent or such Lender Party for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Debtor), such Liabilities
shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Collateral Agent or such other Lender Party, and this
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Collateral Agent or such other Lender Party had not been made. 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS
OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF). Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtors and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns (provided that no Debtor
may assign its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent), and shall inure to the benefit of each Debtor and the Collateral Agent and the successors and assigns of the Collateral Agent. 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file) and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional
Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a joinder to this Agreement, together with supplements to the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of the date of
delivery, whereupon the Schedules hereto shall be deemed to be amended automatically to incorporate such information. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to,
and will be bound by the terms of, this Agreement. 

  
 9 

 Other than automatic modifications related to the addition of a party hereto as described in the
preceding paragraph, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Debtors and the Collateral Agent, and then
such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. 

ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND
MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY
COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE; (B) CONSENTS
TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID TO SUCH ADDRESS OF SUCH PARTY REFERRED TO ABOVE (OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IT SHALL HAVE SPECIFIED IN WRITING TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICE HEREUNDER), OR BY PERSONAL
SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK; AND (C) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE
AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 EACH DEBTOR, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND (BY
ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF) EACH OTHER LENDER PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION
IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE COLLATERAL AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER LENDER PARTIES, ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

 THIS DEED OF TRUST, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE
FILING STATEMENT (this “Deed of Trust”) is made as of June 6, 2014 by GREEN PLAINS ATKINSON LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and
permitted assigns, “Grantor”) having an address of 450 Regency Parkway, Suite 400, Omaha, NE 68114 to Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (“Trustee”), having an address at 2111 S 67th St., Omaha, NE 68106

Trust.

A. BNPP, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the Lenders (defined below) hereinafter identified and defined (BNPP in such
capacity as agent for the Lenders, and its successors and assigns in such capacity, being hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”), has entered into a Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 6, 2014 (such Term Loan Agreement, as
the same may be amended or modified from time to time as permitted thereunder, including amendments and restatements thereof in its entirety as permitted thereunder, being hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant
to which certain lenders from time to time party to the Loan Agreement (such lenders being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Lenders” and individually as a “Lender”) have agreed, subject to certain terms
and conditions, to extend credit and make certain other financial accommodations available to GREEN PLAINS PROCESSING LLC (the “Borrower”). Any capitalized term used in this Deed of Trust that is not otherwise defined herein, either
directly or by reference to another document, shall have the meaning for purposes of this Deed of trust as it is given in the Loan Agreement. 

B. Grantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower and as such will receive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit and
other financial accommodations made to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. 
 C. The Grantor, has executed and delivered to the Agent a
Guaranty of even date herewith (as it may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Grantor has guarantied the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the loans made
under the Loan Agreement (the “Loans”) and the other extensions of credit and financial accommodations made under each of the other Loan Documents, (together with the Loans, collectively, the “Guarantied
Obligations”). 

 D. It is a condition to the obligation of the Lenders to make the Loans that the Grantor execute
and deliver this Deed of Trust to secure the Guarantied Obligations and all direct obligations of the Grantor with respect to the Loans (collectively, the “Obligations Secured”). 

The total principal amount of Secured Obligations secured hereby may increase or decrease from time to time, but the total unpaid principal
balance secured hereby at any time shall not exceed $225,000,000, plus interest thereon and any protective disbursements which Beneficiary may make under this Deed of Trust and interest thereon. 

GRANT: 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
(A) in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and (B) in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, for the purpose of securing the complete and timely performance and
payment of all present and future indebtedness, liabilities and obligations which the Grantor has from time to time incurred or may incur or be liable to the Lenders and the Agent (each, a “Secured Party”, collectively, the
“Secured Parties”) under or in connection with the Obligations Secured, 
 THE GRANTOR HEREBY CONVEYS TO TRUSTEE AND HEREBY GRANTS,

the Land; and (ii) all air rights, water rights and powers, development rights or credits, zoning rights or other similar rights or interests that benefit or are appurtenant to the Land (all of the foregoing, including the Land, the
“Premises”). 
 TOGETHER WITH all right, title and interest, if any, including any after-acquired right, title and
interest, and including any right of use or occupancy, that the Grantor may now have or hereafter acquire in and to any of the following related to the Land: (a) all easements, rights of way or gores of land or any lands occupied by streets,
ways, alleys, passages, sewer rights, water courses and public places, and any other interests in property constituting appurtenances to the Premises, or that hereafter shall in any way belong, relate or be appurtenant thereto, (b) all
licenses, authorizations, certificates, variances, consents, approvals and other permits now or hereafter relating to the Real Property (as defined below), excluding any of the foregoing items that cannot be transferred or encumbered by the Grantor
without causing a default thereunder or a termination thereof, (c) all hereditaments, gas, oil and minerals (with the right to extract, sever and remove such gas, oil and minerals) located in, on or under the Premises, (d) all split or

  
 2 

 
division rights with respect to the Land and easements of every nature whatsoever and (e) all other rights and privileges thereunto belonging or appertaining and all extensions, additions,
improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements to or of any of the rights and interests described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (all of the foregoing, the “Property
Rights”). 
 TOGETHER WITH all right, title and interest, if any, including any after-acquired right, title and interest,
and including any right of use or occupancy, that the Grantor may now possess or hereafter acquire in and to all fixtures and appurtenances of every nature whatsoever now or hereafter located in or on, or attached to, or used or intended to be used
in connection with (or with the operation of), the Premises, including (a) all apparatus, machinery and equipment of the Grantor (to the extent that any of the foregoing constitute “fixtures” under applicable law); and (b) all
extensions, additions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements to or of any of the foregoing (all items listed in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the “Fixtures”). Grantor and Agent
agree that the Premises and all of the Property Rights and Fixtures owned by the Grantor (collectively the “Real Property”) shall, so far as permitted by law, be deemed to form a part and parcel of the Land and for the purpose of
this Deed of Trust to be real estate and covered by this Deed of Trust.  
 TOGETHER WITH all the estate, right, title and interest,
if any, of the Grantor in and to (i) all judgments, insurance proceeds, awards of damages and settlements resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of the Real Property, or any part thereof, under the power of eminent domain or for
any damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to the Real Property, or any part thereof, or to any rights appurtenant thereto, and all proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Real Property or any part thereof (it being understood
that, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Loan Agreement, the Grantor is hereby authorized to collect and receive such awards and proceeds and to give proper receipts and acquittance therefor, and to apply the same as provided herein);
(ii) all contract rights, general intangibles, actions and rights in action relating to the Real Property, including all rights to insurance proceeds and unearned premiums arising from or relating to damage to the Real Property; (iii) all
plans and specifications, designs, drawings and other information, materials and matters heretofore or hereafter prepared relating to the Real Property; and (iv) all proceeds, products, replacements, additions, substitutions, renewals and
accessions of and to the Real Property (the rights and interests described in this paragraph, the “Intangibles”). 
 The
Grantor (i) pledges and assigns to the Agent from and after the date of the effectiveness hereof (including any period of redemption), primarily and on a parity with the Real Property, and not secondarily, all rents, issues and profits of the
Real Property and all rents, issues, profits, revenues, royalties, bonuses, rights and benefits due, payable or accruing (including all deposits of money as advance rent, for security, as earnest money or as down payment for the purchase of all or
any part of the Real Property) under any and all present and future leases, contracts or other agreements relative to the ownership or occupancy of all or any portion of the Real Property (all of the foregoing, the “Rents”), and
(ii) except to the extent such a transfer or assignment is not permitted by the terms thereof, transfers and assigns to Agent all such leases, contracts and agreements (including all the Grantor’s rights under any contract for the sale of
any portion of the Trust Property and all revenues and royalties under any oil, gas and mineral lease relating to the Real Property) (collectively the “Leases”); provided however, that subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a license is hereby given to Grantor to collect and use such Rents. 

  
 3 

 All of the property described above, including the Land, the Premises, the Property Rights, the
Fixtures, the Real Property, the Intangibles, the Rents and the Leases, is called the “Trust Property.” 
 Nothing herein
contained shall be construed as constituting the Agent a mortgagee-in-possession in the absence of the taking of title and/or possession of the Trust Property by the Agent. Nothing contained in this Deed of Trust shall be construed as imposing on
the Agent any obligation of any lessor under any Lease of the Trust Property in the absence of an explicit assumption thereof by the Agent. In the exercise of the powers herein granted the Agent, prior to Agent taking title to or possession of the
Trust Property, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against the Agent, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the Grantor, except for any such liability arising on account of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. 
 TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Trust Property,
and all other properties, rights and privileges hereby conveyed or assigned, or intended so to be, unto the Trustee, its beneficiaries, successors and assigns, forever for the uses and purposes herein set forth. Except to the extent such a release
or waiver is not permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby releases and waives all rights of redemption or reinstatement, if any, under and by virtue of any of the laws of the State, and the Grantor hereby covenants, represents and warrants
that, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, (a) the Grantor has good and marketable fee simple title to the Trust Property, with lawful authority to grant, remise, release, alien, convey, mortgage and warrant the
Trust Property, (b) the title to the Trust Property is free and clear of all encumbrances, except the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (c) except for the Permitted Liens, the Grantor will forever defend the Trust
Property against all claims in derogation of the foregoing. 
 SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FINANCING STATEMENT 

The Agent and the Grantor further agree that if any of the property herein mortgaged is of a nature so that a security interest therein can be
created and perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State (the “Code”), this Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement, fixture filing and financing statement, and for that purpose, the following
information is set forth: 
 (a) In addition to the foregoing grant of mortgage, the Grantor hereby grants a continuing security interest to
the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in that portion of the Trust Property in which the creation and/or perfection of a security interest is governed by the Code. 

(b) The “Debtor” is the Grantor and the “Secured Party” is the Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Secured
Parties. 
 (c) The name and address of the Debtor are as set forth in the Preamble to this document. 

  
 4 

 (d) The name and address of the Secured Party are as set forth in the Preamble to this document.

 (e) The description of the types or items of property covered by this financing statement is: All of the Trust Property in which a
security interest may be perfected pursuant to the Code. 
 (f) The description of the real estate to which collateral is attached or upon
which collateral is located is set forth on Exhibit A. 
 (g) The Agent may file this Deed of Trust, or a reproduction hereof, in the
real estate records or other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of the items specified herein as part of the Trust Property. Any reproduction of this Deed of Trust or of any other security agreement or financing statement is
sufficient as a financing statement. 
 The Grantor authorizes the Agent to file any financing statement, continuation statement or other
instrument that the Agent or the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate from time to time to perfect or continue the security interest granted above under the Code. 

FIXTURE FILING 
 To the extent
permitted by law, (i) all of the Fixtures are or are to become fixtures on the Land and (ii) this instrument, upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office, shall constitute a “fixture-filing”
within the meaning of Sections 9-604 and 9-502 of the Code as in effect on the date hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein
contained shall be as prescribed herein, in any other Loan Document, or by general law, or, as to that part of the security in which a security interest may be perfected under the Code, by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted
and specified in the Code, all at the election of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement). 
 THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL
ALSO CONSTITUTE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS DEED OF TRUST: 
 1. Payment of Taxes on this Deed of Trust. Without limiting any provision
of the Loan Agreement, the Grantor agrees that, if the government of the United States or any department, agency or bureau thereof or if the State or any of its subdivisions having jurisdiction shall at any time require documentary stamps to be
affixed to this Deed of Trust or shall levy, assess or charge any tax, assessment or imposition upon this Deed of Trust or the credit or indebtedness secured hereby or the interest of any Secured Party in the Premises or upon any Secured Party by
reason of or as holder of any of the foregoing then, the Grantor shall pay for such documentary stamps in the required amount and deliver them to the Agent or pay (or reimburse the Agent for) such taxes, assessments or impositions. The Grantor
agrees to provide to the Agent, at any time upon request, official receipts showing payment of all taxes, assessments and charges that the Grantor is required or elects to pay under this Section. The Grantor agrees to indemnify each Secured Party
against liability on account of such documentary stamps, taxes, assessments or impositions, whether such liability arises before or after payment of the Obligations Secured and regardless of whether this Deed of Trust shall have been released. 

  
 5 

 2. Leases Affecting the Real Property. All future lessees under any Lease made after the
date of recording of this Deed of Trust shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or at the Agent’s option and without any further documentation, attorn to the Agent as lessor if for any reason the Agent
becomes lessor thereunder, and, upon demand after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay rent to the Agent, and the Agent shall not be responsible under such Lease for matters arising prior to the Agent becoming lessor thereunder;
provided that the Agent shall not become lessor or obligated as lessor under any such Leases unless and until it shall have been directed by the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to do so, or it shall elect in writing to do
so. 
 3. Use of the Real Property. The Grantor agrees that it shall not (a) permit the public to use any portion of the Real
Property in any manner that could reasonably be expected to impair the Grantor’s title to such property, or to make possible any claim of easement by prescription or of implied dedication to public use, provided Grantor has actual knowledge of
such use; (b) institute or acquiesce in any proceeding to change the zoning classification of the Real Property, nor shall the Grantor change the use of the Trust Property in any material way, without the consent of the Required Lenders (as
defined in the Loan Agreement), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (c) permit any material legal or economic waste to occur with respect to the Trust Property. 

4. Insurance. Subject to Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement, the Grantor shall, at its sole expense, obtain for, deliver to, assign
to and maintain for the benefit of the Agent, until the Obligations Secured are paid in full, insurance policies relating to the Trust Property as specified in the Loan Agreement. Prior to an Event of Default, use of insurance proceeds shall be
governed by Sections 10.1 and 6.2.3 of the Loan Agreement. Each such policy shall name the Agent as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, under a standard mortgage endorsement. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, and the
Agent has given notice to the Grantor that the Agent intends to exercise its rights under this Section 4, then the Agent shall be entitled to (a) adjust any casualty loss and (b) apply the proceeds thereof as provided in
Section 8 of this Deed of Trust. 
 5. Real Property Taxes. The Grantor covenants and agrees to pay before delinquent all real
property taxes, assessments, ground rent, if any, water and sewer rents, fees and charges, levies, permit, inspection and license fees and other dues, charges or impositions, including all charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and
similar areas adjoining the Land, maintenance and similar charges and charges for utility services, in each instance whether now or in the future, directly or indirectly, levied, assessed or imposed on the Premises or the Grantor and whether levied,
assessed or imposed as excise, privilege or property taxes; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Grantor to pay any of the foregoing so long as it shall contest the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP. 

  
 6 

 6. Condemnation Awards. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Grantor assigns to
the Agent, as additional security, all awards of damage resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of or injury to the Real Property for public use (“Eminent Domain Proceedings”). If an Event of Default exists and is
continuing and the Agent has given notice to the Grantor that the Agent intends to exercise its rights under this Section 6, then the Agent shall be entitled to (a) participate in and/or direct (at the sole discretion of the Required
Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement)) any Eminent Domain Proceedings and (b) apply the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8 of this Deed of Trust. 

7. Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
including a failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in this Deed of Trust that is not cured within any applicable cure period, in addition to any rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Agreement or other Loan Document, if
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) Power of Sale. Agent may
direct Trustee to exercise Trustee’s power of sale with respect to the Trust Property, or any part thereof, in a non-judicial procedure as permitted by applicable law. If Agent elects to exercise its power of sale with respect to the Real
Property and other portions of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, Trustee shall record a notice of default in each county in which any part of such Real Property and other Trust Property is located in the form prescribed by applicable law and
shall mail copies of such notice in the manner prescribed by applicable law. After the time required by applicable law, Trustee shall give public notice of the sale to the persons and in the manner prescribed by applicable law. Trustee, without
demand on Grantor, shall sell such Real Property and other Trust Property at public auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in any order Trustee determines.
Trustee may postpone sale of all or any parcel of the Trust Property in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Trustee, Agent, or their designee, may purchase at any such sale. Upon receipt of the price bid, Trustee shall deliver to the
purchaser a Trustee’s deed conveying the Real Property and other Trust Property that are sold. The recitals in the deed of compliance with applicable law shall be prima facie evidence of such compliance and conclusive evidence thereof in favor
of bona fide purchasers and encumbrancers for value and without notice. Grantor acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust may be exercised by Trustee without prior judicial hearing. Grantor has the right to bring an action to
assert the non-existence of an Event of Default or any other defense of Grantor to acceleration and sale. 
 Trustee shall
deliver to the purchaser at the sale, within a reasonable time after the sale, a Trustee’s deed conveying the Trust Property so sold without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in Trustee’s deed shall be prima facie
evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. 
 (b) Agent’s Power of Enforcement. The Agent may
immediately foreclose this Deed of Trust by judicial action. The court in which any proceeding is pending for the purpose of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust by judicial procedure or in connection with the exercise of any non-judicial power of sale
by the Trustee may, at once or at any time thereafter, either before or after sale, without notice and without requiring bond, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of any person liable for payment of the

  
 7 

 
Obligations Secured, and without regard to the then value of the Trust Property or the occupancy thereof as a homestead, appoint a receiver (the provisions for the appointment of a receiver and
assignment of rents being an express condition upon which the loans and other financial accommodations hereby secured are made) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with power to collect the Rents, due and to become due, during such foreclosure
suit and the full statutory period of redemption notwithstanding any redemption. The receiver, out of the Rents when collected, may pay reasonable costs incurred in the management and operation of the Real Property, prior and subordinate liens, if
any, and taxes, assessments, water and other utilities and insurance, then due or thereafter accruing, and may make and pay for any necessary repairs to the Real Property, and may pay any part of the Obligations Secured in accordance with the Loan
Agreement or any deficiency decree entered in such foreclosure proceeding. Upon or at any time after the filing of a suit to foreclose this Deed of Trust, the court in which such suit is filed shall have full power to enter an order placing the
Agent in possession of the Real Property with the same power granted to a receiver pursuant to this clause (b) and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee-in-possession under applicable law. 

(c) Agent’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. The Agent shall, at the direction of
Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or at its option, have the right, acting through its agents or attorneys or a receiver, with process of law, to enter upon and take possession of the Real Property, to expel and remove any persons,
goods or chattels occupying or upon the same, to collect or receive all the Rents, to manage and control the Real Property, to lease the Real Property or any part thereof, from time to time, and, after deducting all reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses of outside counsel, and all reasonable expenses incurred in the protection, care, maintenance, management and operation of the Real Property, to distribute and apply the remaining net income in such order and to such of the Obligations
Secured in accordance with the Loan Agreement or any deficiency decree entered in any foreclosure proceeding. 
 (d)
Foreclosure as Mortgage. This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default may be foreclosed as to any of the Real Property in any manner permitted by the laws of the
State of Nebraska or of any other state in which any part of the Real Property is situated, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by the Trustee or by the Agent. 

(e) Grantor, on its own behalf and on behalf of each party hereto, hereby requests a copy of any notice of default and a copy
of any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to them at the applicable address provided in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. 
 8.
Application of the Rents or Proceeds from Foreclosure or Sale. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the proceeds or avails of any trustee or foreclosure sale and all moneys received by Agent pursuant to any right given or action
taken under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be applied as follows: 
 (a) To the payment of the costs and expenses
of any such sale or other enforcement proceedings in accordance with the terms hereof and of any judicial proceeding wherein the same may be made (including payment of the Trustee’s fees of 

  
 8 

 
not more than 5% of the gross sale price, attorneys’ fees and costs of title evidence), and in addition thereto, reasonable compensation to Agent, its agents and counsel, and all actual
out of pocket expenses, advances, liabilities and sums made or furnished or incurred by Trustee, Agent or Lenders under this Deed of Trust and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by
law, and all taxes, assessments or other charges, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Trust Property shall have been sold; 

(b) In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement; 

(c) To the payment of any other sums required to be paid by Grantor pursuant to any provision of this Deed of Trust, or any
other Loan Document; and 
 (d) To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same. 
 The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency to the extent provided in the documents that create the Obligations Secured.

 9. Cumulative Remedies; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No remedy or right of the Agent shall be exclusive of, but shall be in
addition to, every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay in the exercise or omission to exercise any remedy or right available during the existence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right
or be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or different nature. To the extent permitted by applicable law, every such remedy or right may be
exercised concurrently or independently and when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Agent. 
 10. Agent’s Remedies
against Multiple Parcels. If more than one property, lot or parcel is covered by this Deed of Trust, and this Deed of Trust is foreclosed upon, or judgment is entered upon any Obligations Secured (or, in the case of a trustee’s sale, shall
have met the statutory requirements thereof with respect to such collateral), execution may be made upon any one or more of the properties, lots or parcels and not upon the others, or upon all of such properties or parcels, either together or
separately, and at different times or at the same time, and execution sales or sales by advertisement may likewise be conducted separately or concurrently, in each case at the election of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement). 

11. No Merger. In the event of a foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or any other mortgage or trust deed securing the Obligations Secured,
the Obligations Secured then due shall, at the option of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement), not be merged into any decree of foreclosure entered by the court, and the Trustee or Agent may concurrently or subsequently seek to
foreclose one or more mortgages or deeds of trust that also secure the Obligations Secured. 
 12. Notices. All notices and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, within the time periods and to the applicable address identified in the Loan Agreement. Grantor requests that copies of the notice of default and notice of sale be sent
to Grantor at Grantor’s address stated in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust.

representation, warranty or covenant by Grantor made herein or in any other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement) evidencing or securing any obligation under the Loan Documents or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or
otherwise relating thereto. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Deed of Trust and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim

to time, as provided in the Loan Agreement and the other documents relating to the Obligations Secured.

performance of his duties. 
 (b) All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the
purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by her hereunder. 

(c) Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Agent. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified

act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the estate, properties, rights, powers and trusts of its, her or his predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written
request of Agent or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of the
