all of which property, rights and interests are hereby pledged primarily and on a parity with the Real Estate and not secondarily. 
  

	III.	ADDITIONAL SECURITY 

 As
further security for the Indebtedness and the full and complete performance of each and every obligation, covenant, agreement and duty of Maker contained herein or contained in any other document executed by Maker pertaining to the Note or the
security therefor: 
 A. Security Interest. Maker hereby grants and conveys to Noteholder a security interest in and
lien on all of the Collateral. This Agreement shall serve as a Security Agreement created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Illinois (“UCC”), and Noteholder shall have and may exercise all rights, remedies
and powers of a secured party under the UCC. Maker hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (1) Maker is the owner and holder of the Collateral free and clear of any adverse claim, security interest or encumbrance, except those created
herein and the encumbrance in favor of the Subordinate Lender, defined below; (2) it will defend the Collateral, and the priority of the security interest created herein as a valid first security interest against all claims and demands of any
person at any time claiming the same or any interest therein; (3) there are no financing statements executed by Maker, as Debtor, now on file in any public office except those financing statements which are being released contemporaneously with
the delivery of this transaction or which have been authorized by Noteholder; (4) it hereby authorizes Noteholder to file or record such other and further agreements, financing statements and assignments in such offices and at such times as it
is deemed by Noteholder to be reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable in respect of the Collateral; and (5) it will execute and deliver to Noteholder such other and further agreements, financing statements and assignments as Noteholder may
reasonably request, and (6) the organizational identification number of Maker is: 0069119-4. 

  
 5 

 This Agreement is intended to constitute a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the UCC. The debtor is the Maker and the secured party is the Noteholder and their addresses are those set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. Certain of the Mortgaged Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term
is defined in the UCC), and this Agreement, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein the Mortgaged Premises are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the UCC upon such Mortgaged Property that is or may become fixtures. 
 Maker covenants and agrees
that Maker will furnish Noteholder with notice of any change in name, identity, organizational structure, mailing address, residence, state of formation or organization, principal place of business or location (as that term is defined in the Code)
30 days prior to the effective date of any such change. Maker hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Noteholder to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing
its perfected status or to reinstate any lapsed financing statement. 
 Maker agrees that the filing of a financing statement in
the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto, hereinabove stated, that everything used in connection with the
production of income from the Mortgaged Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Mortgage is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be regarded as real
property irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the real property or improvements thereon; (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified
in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with Noteholder; or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement of
(x) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy; (y) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value; or (z) Maker’s interest as lessor in any present or future leases or
subleases or rights to rents growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Noteholder as determined by this instrument
or impugning the priority of this Mortgage or any of the other documents entered into in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Noteholder in the event any
court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to (x), (y), or (z) that notice of Noteholder’s priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including, but not limited to, the federal government and any
subdivision or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the Code records or otherwise perfected in the manner required by the Code. 
 B. Assignment of Condemnation Awards. To the extent of the full amount of the Indebtedness secured hereby and of the cost and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
Noteholder in the collection of any award or payment, Maker hereby assigns to Noteholder any and all awards or payments, including all interest thereon, together with the right to receive the same, which may be made with respect to the Mortgaged
Property as a result of (a) the exercise of the right of eminent domain, (b) the alteration of the grade or of any street, or (c) any other injury to or decreased value in the Mortgaged Property, as well as the right, but not the
obligation, to, at Maker’s expense, participate in and make decisions concerning the progress of 

  
 6 

 
any proceeding involving any such award or payment. Maker shall give Noteholder written notice of any such action or proceeding immediately upon Maker’s becoming aware of same. All such
damages, condemnation proceeds and consideration shall be paid directly and solely to Noteholder whether or not an Event of Default has at such time occurred, and after first applying said sums to the payment of all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Noteholder in obtaining such sums, Noteholder may, at its option, apply the balance to the Indebtedness, in any order and whether or not then due, but without prepayment fee or premium as more
specifically set forth in the Note or other penalty, or to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, or release the balance to Maker. Said application or release shall not cure or waive any default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Schnuck
Markets Lease and/or the Starplex Lease remain in full force and effect and such applicable lease is not terminated due to any such condemnation or taking then Noteholder shall permit the condemnation proceeds to be made available for the repair and
replacement of the Mortgaged Property if and to the extent that by any such non- terminated lease requires that such proceeds be made available for said purpose. 
  

	IV.	ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS  

 In further consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Maker hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Noteholder all rents, revenues, profits and incomes from the Mortgaged Property
or any portion thereof. Provided, however, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Maker is hereby granted a license to collect and retain the currently accruing rents, income and profits from the Mortgaged Property, but in no event for more
than one (1) month in advance of such collection. If an Event of Default shall occur, however, thereupon, and at any time thereafter such default is continuing, Noteholder may terminate such license and may, without any liability to Maker, take
possession and control of the Mortgaged Premises and/or receive and collect all rents, revenues, profits and income, accrued or accruing thereafter so long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, applying so much thereof as may be collected first
to the expenses incident to taking possession and/or the collection thereof, and second to the payment of the Indebtedness other than the Note and then to the amount of the Note then remaining unpaid, at Noteholder’s discretion, either
principal or interest, in any order, and whether then matured or not, paying the balance, if any, to Maker. It is intended by Maker and Noteholder that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional
security only and that Noteholder shall be entitled to exercise its rights hereunder whether or not Noteholder is in possession of the Mortgaged Premises at such time. Maker agrees to fulfill or perform each and every covenant and agreement of any
and all leases and guaranties of leases of the Mortgaged Premises so as to keep them at all times in full force and effect, and not to enter into any new lease, not to make any modification, consent to any modification of, or cancel, terminate or
consent to the surrender of any lease of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any guaranty of such lease, without the prior written consent of Noteholder, the failure to fulfill or perform any such covenant or agreement without the prior
written consent of Noteholder or the making of or consent to any such new lease or any such modification, cancellation, termination or surrender without the prior written consent of Noteholder, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
for any leases or guaranties other than with respect to a Key Tenant Lease or any guaranty thereof for which any consent shall be in Noteholder’s sole and absolute discretion); the failure to fulfill or perform any such covenant or the making
of or consent to any such modification or cancellation, termination or surrender shall be an Event of Default; provided, however, that: 

  
 7 

 (A) until such time as there exists an uncured Event of Default, Maker may in good faith in
the ordinary course of business with tenants unaffiliated with the Maker (i) enter into new leases for premises of 4,500 square feet or less for a term, including any extension options, of not more than five (5) years at prevailing market
rates and (ii) exercise the landlord’s remedies for default in good faith in the ordinary course of business for any lease of 4,500 square feet or less including the exercise of any termination of such a lease for a tenant’s default.
For purposes of calculating such square footage as provided in this Article IV, all leases with the same tenant or with affiliates of such tenant shall be aggregated; and 
 (B) enter into a lease modification for leases with premises of 4,500 square feet or less (aggregated as provided in subsection (B) above) may in good faith in the ordinary course of business with
tenants unaffiliated with the Maker if such modification (i) does not reduce any rent below prevailing market rates provided that with respect to any lease that is in existence on the date hereof, the Maker may not reduce the rent during the
term of such leases without Noteholder’s written consent, (ii) does not involve any reduction in term, (iii) does not extend the term including any extension options, for more than five (5) years beyond the existing term, and
(c) does not otherwise materially modify the lease. 
 Nothing contained in this Mortgage or in any other document securing, evidencing or
relating to the Indebtedness shall preclude Noteholder from taking any action to cure or remedy any default of the Landlord under any lease of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any guaranty of lease, or any act, omission or occurrence
which but for the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would be a default under any such lease or guaranty of lease or take any other action in connection therewith and any amounts expended by Noteholder in connection with such cure or
remediation including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, shall be an advance under and secured by this Mortgage and shall be included in the Indebtedness and shall be paid by Maker to Noteholder on demand. The preceding
sentence shall not be construed to obligate Noteholder to cure any such actual or potential lease defaults or any guaranty of lease defaults. 
  

	V.	MAKER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

appraisal submitted to Maker, is substantially in excess of the Indebtedness secured hereby. Maker acknowledges but for the Mortgaged Property having a value in excess of the amount of the Indebtedness, Noteholder would not make the loan evidenced
by the Note and advance the funds hereunder. Maker agrees that Noteholder shall at all times have the benefit of the Mortgaged Property as the security for the Indebtedness even though the value thereof may now or in the future exceed the amount of
the Indebtedness secured hereby.

limitation, (i) all foreseeable and all unforeseeable consequential damages, directly or indirectly arising out of the use, presence, discovery, generation, storage, transportation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Maker, past,
present or future tenants, owners or operators of the Mortgaged Property, or any third party, and (ii) the cost of any required or necessary cleanup, removal or remediation, claimed, threatened or asserted against any such Indemnitee; but such
indemnity and hold harmless shall not apply with respect to any Hazardous Substances which first occurred on the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure of this Agreement or conveyance in lieu thereof or to the extent that such loss, damage,
expense or liability is caused by or attributable to such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or 

  
 12 

 
willful misconduct. Maker’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity and hold harmless shall survive any termination of the estate created by this Agreement whether as a result of the
exercise by Noteholder of any default remedies available to it at law or in equity or otherwise. Maker acknowledges and agrees that as a condition precedent to making the loan to Maker evidenced by the Note secured by this Agreement, Noteholder has
required that Maker provide to the Indemnitees the indemnity and hold harmless set forth herein and that Noteholder would not consummate the loan without this indemnity and hold harmless and that the indemnity and harmless contained herein is a
material inducement for Noteholder’s agreement to make the loan. Further, Maker agrees that the foregoing indemnification is separate, independent of and in addition to its undertakings as Maker under the Note, as Maker under this Agreement, as
Assignor under the Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents and any and all other documents, agreements and undertakings executed by Maker in favor of Noteholder pursuant to the Note. Maker agrees that a separate action may be brought to enforce the
provisions of this indemnification and hold harmless, which shall in no way be deemed to be an action on the Note or under this Agreement, whether or not Noteholder would be entitled to a deficiency judgment following a foreclosure sale of the
Mortgaged Property. Maker acknowledges that for convenience of drafting some of the terminology in that certain document entitled Certificate and Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances executed by Maker of even date herewith in connection with the
loan and in the indemnity and hold harmless contained in this paragraph differs, that the indemnity and hold harmless contained in this paragraph is in addition to and not in derogation of such Certificate and Indemnity Regarding Hazardous
Substances and that the differing language does not evidence an intent to limit the provisions of such Certificate and Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances. Maker acknowledges that there is a separate document entitled Certificate and Indemnity
Regarding Hazardous Substances executed by Maker of even date herewith in connection with the loan and that for convenience of drafting some of the terminology in such document and in this paragraph do not match exactly, that this paragraph is in
addition to and not in derogation of such Certificate and Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances and that the language in this paragraph shall does not evidence an intent to limit the provisions of such Certificate and Indemnity Regarding
Hazardous Substances. 
  

	I.	Patriot Act: 

(1) As of the date of this Mortgage, Maker is and, during the term of this Mortgage shall remain, in full compliance with
all the applicable laws and regulations of the United States of America that prohibit, regulate or restrict financial transactions, including but not limited to, conducting any activity or failing to conduct any activity, if such action or inaction
constitutes a money laundering crime, including any money laundering crime prohibited under the Money Laundering Control Act, 18 U.S.C. 1956, 1957, or the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq. and any amendments or successors thereto and
any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (2) Maker represents and warrants that: (i) neither
it, nor to its actual knowledge, any of its Tier Two Owners (as defined below), or any officer, director or employee, is named as a “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” as designated by the United States Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control or as a person, group, entity or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 as a person who commits, threatens to 

  
 13 

 
commit, or supports terrorism; (ii) it is not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the government of any country that is subject to a United States Embargo; (iii) it is not
acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity or nation named by the United States Treasury Department as a “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or for or on behalf of any person, group,
entity or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism; and that it is not engaged in this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating this
transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation; iv) no funds will be used to make any payments due hereunder or pursuant to the Note which were obtained directly or indirectly from a Specially Designated
National and Blocked Person or otherwise derived from a country that is subject to a United States Embargo; and (v) no current or future tenant of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, nor any officer, director, member, manager, partner or
Constituent Owner of such tenant, is or will become named a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person; provided that, in the event that a tenant of any portion of the Mortgaged Property is a publicly-traded company whose shares are listed on
a national stock exchange, such representation and warranty shall not apply to shareholders of such tenant. 

(3) Maker acknowledges that it understands and has been advised by legal counsel on the requirements of the applicable
laws referred to above, including the Money Laundering Control Act, 18 U.S.C. 1956, 1957, the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq., the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Foreign Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.
Section 500 et seq. 
 (4) Maker shall notify Noteholder immediately upon receipt of any information
indicating a breach of this Section VI.E. or if Maker or any officer, director, member, manager, member, employee or Constituent Owner of Maker is custodially detained on charges relating to money laundering, whereupon Noteholder shall be entitled
to take all actions necessary so that Noteholder is in compliance with all Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. Any and all loss, damage, liability, penalty, fine or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and investigatory expenses)
incurred by Noteholder in connection therewith, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, shall be included in the Indebtedness secured hereunder and shall immediately be due and payable by Maker to Noteholder. 

 

	VI.	ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF MAKER 

 As long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, Maker covenants and agrees that: 
 A. Payment of Indebtedness. Maker will pay the Indebtedness promptly when due and payable. 
 B. Payment of Taxes and Other Assessments. Maker will pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental, municipal or other public dues, charges, fines, or impositions imposed or levied upon
the Mortgaged Property or on the interest created by this Mortgage, or any tax or excise on rents or other tax, however described, assessed or levied by any state, federal or local taxing authority as a substitute, in whole or in part, for taxes
assessed or imposed on the Mortgaged Property or on the interest created by this Mortgage, and at least ten (10) days before 

  
 14 

 
said taxes, assessments and other governmental charges are due will exhibit receipts therefor to Noteholder. If any tax or assessment is levied, assessed or imposed on Noteholder as a legal
holder of the Note or any interest in the documents securing, evidencing or relating to the Note by any governmental authority, then unless all such taxes are paid by Maker as they become due and payable and in the opinion of Noteholder based on
consultation with its counsel, such payment by Maker is lawful and does not place Noteholder in violation of any law, Noteholder may, at its option, declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable, but in this event no prepayment premium shall
be due or payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Maker shall have the right to challenge any such levy, assessment or imposition; provided, however, that (1) such a challenge shall be lawful; (2) such a challenge shall not place
Noteholder in violation of any law; (3) Maker shall indemnify and hold Noteholder harmless from any and all loss, liability, cost or expense that may arise due to Maker’s challenge; and (iv) such contested item and all costs and
penalties, if any, shall have been paid at least thirty (30) days before the date on which the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, may be sold in order to satisfy any such contested items. Upon a final determination as to Maker’s
challenge, Maker shall immediately pay any and all such taxes, assessments or other governmental charges deemed to be due and payable. If Maker fails to timely pay or cause such amounts to be paid prior to delinquency, Noteholder may, at its option
declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable. 
 C. Insurance. Maker shall keep the Mortgaged Property
insured against loss or damage by fire, windstorm, extended coverage perils, flood (in the event any of the Mortgaged Premises is within a 100-year flood plain and flood insurance is available pursuant to the United States Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973 or any similar or successor statute or successor governmental authority), vandalism, malicious mischief and such other hazards, casualties or other contingencies and in such amounts (but in no event less than the greater of the amount of
the Indebtedness from time to time secured hereby or the full replacement value thereof) as from time to time may be required by Noteholder, and maintain rents or rental value insurance coverage, in an amount at least adequate to cover twelve
(12) months’ principal and interest installments on the Note and together with twelve (12) months’ property taxes and insurance premiums, with respect to the Mortgaged Property covering the risk of loss due to the occurrence of
any of the foregoing hazards, in each case and in such amounts, in such manner and in such companies as the Noteholder may approve, and all such policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation and provide that any losses payable thereunder shall
(pursuant to standard Noteholder clauses without contribution, including one providing that such insurance as to the interest of Noteholder shall not be invalidated by any act or omission or neglect of Maker, to be attached to each policy) be
payable to Noteholder. Maker shall cause duplicate originals of any and all such insurance policies to be deposited with Noteholder. Maker will also carry public liability insurance, in such form, amounts and with such companies as Noteholder may
from time to time reasonably require, with Noteholder included thereon as a named insured. Any or all of such policies may be provided under a blanket policy or policies provided such blanket policies allocate the amount of insurance required
hereunder to the Mortgaged Property. Maker shall cause duplicate originals of any and all such insurance policies to be deposited with Noteholder, or certificates of the insurers under such policies evidencing same. At least ten (10) days prior
to the date the premiums on each such policy or policies shall become due and payable, Maker shall furnish to Noteholder evidence of the payment of such premiums. Each of such policies shall contain an agreement by the insurer that the same shall
not be canceled or modified without at 

  
 15 

 
least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Noteholder. In the event of loss under any such policy, Maker shall give immediate written notice to the insurance carrier and to
Noteholder. With respect to all insurance policies except public liability insurance, Noteholder is hereby authorized, but not required, on behalf of and at the expense of Maker, whether or not an Event of Default has then occurred, to make proof of
loss, to collect for, adjust or compromise any losses under any insurance policy on the Mortgaged Property, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from any of such insurance policies, and to apply, at Noteholder’s option, the loss
proceeds (less expenses of collection) on the Indebtedness, in any order and whether due or not, or to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, or to be released to Maker, but any such application or release shall not cure or waive any default. In
case of a sale pursuant to the foreclosure provision hereunder, or any conveyance of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the Indebtedness, complete title to all insurance policies on or related to the Mortgaged Property,
and the unearned premiums of same shall pass to and vest in the purchaser or grantee of the Mortgaged Property. 

D. Escrow for Taxes and Insurance. Maker shall pay, in addition to the installments payable under the Note, on the same day
as such installments are due and payable, a sum equal to 1/12th of the estimated annual taxes, hazard and rental insurance premiums, and special assessments, if any, next due on the Mortgaged Property. If the amount so paid is not sufficient to pay
such taxes, insurance premiums and assessments when due, then Maker will immediately deposit with Noteholder amounts sufficient to pay the same. Funds deposited by Maker pursuant to this provision shall be used to pay such taxes, insurance premiums
and assessments when due, provided that Maker has furnished Noteholder with all tax statements, premium notices and other such notices at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that any such taxes, premiums and assessments may be due. If
there is a default under the provisions of the Note or of this Mortgage, Noteholder may elect, at any time after default, to apply the funds accumulated under this provision against the Indebtedness in any manner or order. No interest shall accrue
or be allowed on any payments under the provisions of this paragraph. Noteholder shall not be required to deposit or hold monies in an account special or separate from its general funds. Maker expressly releases Noteholder from any liability to
Maker arising out of the maintenance by Noteholder of an escrow as provided herein or for payment of any sums out of such escrow. Maker further indemnifies Noteholder against claims arising out of payment of taxes or insurance premiums where Maker
has failed to provide Noteholder with tax statements and premium notices as required hereby. The maintenance by Noteholder of an escrow for taxes and insurance shall not relieve Maker of its obligations under this Mortgage respecting taxes and
insurance on the Mortgaged Property. 
 E. Waste, Demolition, Alteration or Replacement. Maker will cause the
Mortgaged Property and every part thereof to be maintained, preserved and kept in safe and good repair, working order and condition, will not commit or permit waste thereon, will not remove, demolish or alter the design or structural character of
any building now or hereafter erected on the Mortgaged Premises, without the prior written consent of Noteholder, and will comply with all laws and regulations of any governmental authority with reference to the Mortgaged Property and the manner and
use of the same, and will from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, additions and restorations thereto so that the value and efficient use thereof shall be fully preserved and maintained. Maker agrees not to remove any of
the fixtures or 

  
 16 

 
personal property included in the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of Noteholder and unless immediately replaced with like property of at least equal value. Maker shall act as
necessary to continue or cause the continuance of such income producing activity as is presently conducted upon or contemplated for the Mortgaged Property. 
 F. Inventory of Personal Property. Upon request of Noteholder, Maker shall deliver to Noteholder an inventory describing and showing the make, model, serial number and location of all fixtures
and personal property owned by Maker and from time to time used in the management, maintenance and operation of the Mortgaged Property (other than inventory or property, if any, expressly excluded from the operation of this Agreement by separate
written agreement) with a certification by Maker that said inventory is a true and complete schedule of such fixtures and personal property owned by Maker and used in the management, maintenance and operation of the Mortgaged Property and that such
items specified in the inventory constitute all of the fixtures and personal property required in the management, maintenance and operation of the Mortgaged Property and that such items are owned by Maker free and clear of security interests, liens,
conditional sales contracts or title retention arrangements. Maker hereby grants to Noteholder a security interest in all such items of fixtures and personal property owned by Maker under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

G. Financial Statement. Maker will furnish to Noteholder within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first day of
each and every January (the “Financial Statement Due Date”) until the Indebtedness secured hereby has been fully paid: (1) the annual audited financial statements of TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. prepared and signed by an
independent certified public accountant approved by and acceptable to Noteholder and (2) the annual financial statements covering the operation of the Mortgaged Property that shall contain the Maker’s certification that all such
information is true and correct in all material respects. Both such statements shall prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statement covering the operation of the Mortgaged Property shall also contain
the Maker’s certification that, during the period of time covered by the particular statement, to Maker’s knowledge, (i) to its knowledge, no activity has been conducted upon the Mortgaged Property in violation of any state, federal
or local law, ordinance or regulation pertaining to Hazardous Materials, industrial hygiene or environmental conditions, and (ii) the Mortgaged Property complies with all legal requirements regarding access and facilities for handicapped or
disabled persons, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. 
 If Maker does not deliver the financial
statements as and when required by this paragraph, there shall be added to the Indebtedness and Maker agrees to pay upon demand Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for each calendar month or part thereof following the Financial Statement Due Date until
the required financial statements are delivered to Noteholder. 
 H. Restrictions upon Sale, Transfer or Mortgaging the
Mortgaged Property or the Interest in Maker. Maker acknowledges that Noteholder is relying on the credit worthiness and skill of Maker in advancing sums secured hereby. Except for a natural person’s transfer by will or applicable state
intestacy laws (collectively, together with any other matters specifically defined below, “Permitted Transfers”): (i) if the Maker should sell, trade, convey, transfer, mortgage, assign, exchange, pledge or encumber (including, without
limiting these provisions or any 

  
 17 

 
similar references in this Mortgage, the granting of a security interest in) all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest of Maker therein, absolutely or as security for a debt or
other obligation, whether done in a direct or indirect method or enter into any contractual arrangements to do so, or (ii) if a shareholder, partner, member, trustee or beneficiary of Maker (sometimes, a “Tier Two Owner”) or if any
shareholder, partner, member, trustee or beneficiary of any Tier Two Owner (sometimes, a “Tier Three Owner”) (all and any “Tier Two Owners” and “Tier Three Owners” are individually and collectively a “Constituent
Owner”) should sell, trade, convey, transfer, mortgage, assign, exchange, pledge or encumber (including, without limiting these provisions or any similar references in this Mortgage, the granting of a security interest in) all or any part of
its interest in Maker or if such shareholder, partner, member, trustee or beneficiary in or of Maker shall otherwise be diluted, or (iii) if Maker shall in any way, voluntarily or involuntarily be divested of title or of any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, then the Noteholder, at its option, may elect to accelerate the maturity of the Note and declare the entire amount of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable whereupon Maker shall have thirty (30) days to pay the full
sum of the Indebtedness including, without limitation, principal and interest, whether or not any such sale, trade, conveyance, transfer, mortgage, assignment, exchange, pledge, or encumbrance might diminish the value of the security for the
Indebtedness or increase the likelihood of an Event of Default or increase the likelihood of the Noteholder having to resort to any other security for the Indebtedness after default or add or remove liability of any party for payment or performance
of the Indebtedness. Maker further agrees that the foregoing restriction shall be effective and remain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Mortgage and shall be applicable to Maker, each shareholder, partner, member, trustee and
beneficiary and each Constituent Owner and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The consent by the Noteholder to any one such sale, trade, conveyance, transfer, mortgage, assignment, exchange, pledge, or
encumbrance (one or more of the preceding a “Transaction”) shall not waive or forfeit the right of Noteholder to elect to accelerate the Indebtedness to maturity as to any other Transaction. Maker further covenants and agrees to give
written notice to Noteholder in the event there occurs any Transaction which would violate the terms and conditions of this provision. The term “Transaction” shall include any voluntary or involuntary act or omission of Maker. Nothing
herein contained shall prevent Noteholder from accelerating the Note at any time in the event Maker enters into such a transaction and does not notify Noteholder of same. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection H, transfers of interests in Constituent Owners in the ordinary course of the sales, conveyances and transfers in the ordinary course of real
estate investment trust operations shall be “Permitted Transfers” so long as TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is and at all times will remain the general partner of TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”), and that the OP is and at all times will remain the sole member of the Maker. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection H, Maker has encumbered the Mortgaged Property with a sole additional mortgage to Torchlight Debt Opportunity Fund III, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as successor to TL DOF III Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its successor (“Junior Lender”) to secure secondary indebtedness (the “Junior Loan”) in form and content satisfactory
to Noteholder in Noteholder’s reasonable discretion, under the following conditions: 
 (A) The principal
amount of Junior Loan shall not exceed $5,300,000, in favor of Junior Lender, and the maturity date shall not be earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date provided in the Note. 

  
 18 

 (B) Noteholder may reinstate its rights to require escrow deposits of real
estate taxes and assessments and insurance premiums if such deposits are required under the Junior Loan. 
 (C)
The Junior Lender shall expressly acknowledge the priority of the debt, liens, security interests, terms, covenants and conditions of the Note, this Mortgage and other Loan Documents (“Senior Loan”) over the debt, liens, security
interests, terms, covenants and conditions of the Junior Loan, in a subordination and intercreditor agreement between Noteholder and the Junior Lender satisfactory in form and substance satisfactory to Noteholder (“Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement”). 
 (D) Maker shall not permit any additional encumbrances on the Property other
than the Junior Loan permitted under this paragraph. 
 No Transaction pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection
H, defined as a Permitted Transfer or described in Section 8.l(5) below, shall in any way release Maker or any other party liable on any of the Indebtedness or liable under any document securing, evidencing or relating to the Indebtedness from
any such liability unless expressly provided in this Agreement. 
 I. Delivery of Substitute Note. Maker will upon the
request of Noteholder, if the Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, deliver to Noteholder, in substitution therefor, a new promissory note containing the same terms and conditions as the Note with a notation thereon of the unpaid principal
and accrued but unpaid interest. Maker shall be furnished with satisfactory evidence of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of the Note, and also such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by Maker; provided, however, that if
the original noteholder named herein is the then noteholder under this Agreement, an unqualified indemnity from the original noteholder named herein shall be deemed to be satisfactory security or indemnification. 

J. Compliance with Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Recorded Documents. Maker shall, and shall cause the Mortgaged
Property, to fully and timely comply with all restrictions covenants, conditions and agreements benefiting, burdening or imposed on the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or the owner of all or such portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 K. Patriot Act Compliance. Without limiting the generality of Article V (I) above, the Maker shall conduct
its business in accordance with the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and all applicable requirements of government authorities having jurisdiction over Maker and its properties and assets, including those relating to money laundering and
terrorism. “Patriot Act” means the United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2002, as the same may be amended from time to time, and corresponding
provisions of future laws. 

  
 19 

 L. ERISA. As of the date hereof and throughout the term of this Mortgage,
(i) Maker is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA: (ii) the assets of Maker do not and will not constitute “plan assets” of one or
more such plans for purposes of Title I of ERISA: (iii) Maker is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (iv) transactions by or with Maker are not and will not be subject to
state statutes applicable to Maker regulating investments of fiduciaries with respect to governmental plans; and (v) Maker shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the
exercise by Noteholder of any of its rights under this Mortgage, the Note, or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA. Maker further agrees to deliver to
Noteholder such certifications or other evidence of compliance with the provisions of this section as Noteholder may from time to time request. 
 M. Segregated Parcel. The Mortgaged Property shall be taxed separately without regard to any other real estate and the real property described on Exhibit “A” shall constitute a
legally subdivided lot under all applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances or publications and for all purposes may be mortgaged, conveyed and otherwise dealt with as an independent parcel. 

N. Compliance with Master Lease and Master Lease Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of Article IV, Maker shall fully and
timely comply with the provisions of the Master Lease and the Master Lease Guaranty, so as to keep them in full force and effect and free from default. 
 O. Single Purpose Entity. 
 (1) Generally. Until the
Indebtedness is paid in full, Maker must remain an SPE (as defined herein). 
 (2) For purposes of this
Agreement, “SPE” shall mean, a Delaware or Maryland corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company which, at all times since its formation and thereafter: 

(a) shall not engage in any business or activity, other than the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged
Property and activities incidental thereto; 
 (b) shall not acquire or own any assets other than fee or
leasehold interests, as applicable, in any of the Mortgaged Property as may be necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property and shall conduct and operate its business as presently conducted and operated;

 (c) shall preserve its existence and remain in good standing under the laws
of jurisdiction in which it is organized;

the direct or indirect transfer of any partnership, membership or other equity interests, as applicable; or issue additional partnership, membership or other equity interests, as applicable; or seek to accomplish any of the foregoing; 

(f) shall not: (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage

any action in furtherance of the foregoing; 
 (g) shall not amend or restate its organizational or governing
documents if such change would modify the requirements set forth in this Article VI(O); 
 (h) shall do
all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and will not take any actions in violation of or inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement or other applicable organizational documents; 

(i) shall not own any subsidiary or make any investment in, any other Person; 

(j) shall not commingle its assets with the assets of any other Person and shall hold all of its assets in its own name;

(l) shall maintain its records, books of account, bank accounts, financial statements, accounting records and other entity

 (m) shall only enter into any contract or
agreement with any general partner, member, shareholder, principal or affiliate of Grantor or any guarantor, or any general partner, member, principal or affiliate thereof, upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, are in writing and
substantially similar to those that would be available on an arm’s-length basis with third parties; 

  
 21 

 (n) shall not maintain its assets in such a manner that it will be costly or
difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any other Person;

not assume or guaranty the debts of any other Person, hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of another Person, or otherwise pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the
obligations of any other Person; 
 (p) shall not make any loans or advances to any other Person and shall not
acquire obligations or securities of its affiliates;

applicable law;

Partnership, L.P. is and at all times will remain the sole member of the Maker. 
 Q. T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow for
Currently Vacant Premises. (i) Maker shall establish and maintain in an escrow with Noteholder in an amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) annually from Net Operating Cash Flow (hereinafter defined) of the
Mortgaged Property, payable in monthly installments of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($12,5000.00), (the “T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow”), for payment of tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the
approximately 

  
 22 

 
51,404 square feet of the Mortgaged Property that is currently vacant (the “Currently Vacant Premises”). Commencing on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing
thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Maker shall pay to Noteholder, concurrently with and in addition to the installments payable due under the Note and until the Note and all other Indebtedness is fully paid and performed, an
amount to be deposited in the FF&E Escrow equal to Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($12,5000.00) to the extent of Net Operating Cash Flow for the month immediately preceding such monthly payment date. Such payments are cumulative
and any amounts unavailable from Net Operating Cash Flow in a given month shall be paid in the first subsequent month to the extent that such cash flow exists in excess of the Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($12,5000.00) due in such
month. All such payments by Maker shall be made monthly with, and shall be due on the same date as, the monthly installments of principal and interest on the Note at all times. The T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow shall be held by Noteholder
without interest in an unsegregated account and shall also be additional security for the Indebtedness. Provided no Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document has occurred and no act, omission or other occurrence has
occurred which would constitute such an Event of Default but for the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, Noteholder shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow, disburse to Maker the
amount paid, incurred or to be paid by Maker in for tenant improvements and leasing commissions to unaffiliated third parties for the Currently Vacant Premises as provided in this Section Q Noteholder shall not be required to make advances from the
T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. The T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow shall constitute “Collateral” as defined in this Agreement. Maker agrees to pay Noteholder’s
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred in connection with the T/I and Leasing Commission Escrow. 
 (ii) Provided the

 R. Obligation to Comply with Development Agreement. As a material inducement to
Noteholder to enter into the loan secured by this Mortgage, Maker agrees to maintain and comply the Development Agreement. Maker agrees to fulfill or perform each and every covenant of the Development Agreement so as to keep it at all times in
full force and effect, and not to enter into any new development agreement nor make any modification, consent to any modification of, or cancel, terminate or consent to the surrender of the Development Agreement without the prior written consent of
Noteholder. The failure to fulfill or perform any such obligation or the making of or consent to any such modification or cancellation, termination or surrender shall be an Event of Default. Nothing contained in this Mortgage or in any
other document securing, evidencing or relating to the Indebtedness shall preclude Noteholder from taking any action to cure or remedy any default of the Maker under the Development Agreement, or any act, omission or occurrence which but for the
passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would be a default under the Development Agreement and any amounts expended by Noteholder in connection with such cure or remediation including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses, shall be an advance under and secured by this Mortgage and shall be included in the Indebtedness and shall be paid by Maker to Noteholder on demand. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to obligate Noteholder to cure any such
actual or potential defaults in Maker’s obligations under the Development Agreement. Maker agrees to provide Noteholder with written notice of all written notices of default and all written notices of termination under the Development Agreement
within five (5) business days after receipt by Maker. Maker further agrees to obtain a and provide to Noteholder within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Town of Normal, Illinois’s written consent to the assignment of the
Development Agreement to Noteholder as provided in this Agreement and any other applicable Loan Document in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Noteholder and to pay all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of Noteholder incurred in
connection therewith. 
  

	VII.	RELEASE OF MORTGAGE 

 If
Maker shall well and truly pay, or cause to be paid, all of the Indebtedness and does keep and perform each and every material covenant, duty, condition, and stipulation herein imposed on Maker, in the Note contained, or in any other document
securing, evidencing or relating to the Indebtedness that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect on Noteholder, then this Agreement and the grants and conveyances contained herein shall become null and void, and the Mortgaged
Property shall revert to Maker and the entire estate, right, title and interest of the Noteholder will thereupon cease; and the Noteholder in such case shall deliver to Maker a release of mortgage and any other proper documents acknowledging
satisfaction of this document; otherwise, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

such failure continues after the thirtieth (30) day following written notice of such Event of Default to Maker; provided, however, in the event such failure cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, and Maker otherwise diligently
commences to cure within said thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues such cure, then Maker shall have a period not to exceed sixty (60) days after the date of the original notice to cure the same, and an Event of Default shall
not be deemed to exist during said sixty (60) day period, unless the continued operation or safety of the Mortgaged Property, or the priority, validity or enforceability of the lien created by this Mortgage, any of the other document
evidencing, securing or relating to the Note (individually and collectively, together with the Note and this Mortgage, the “Loan Documents”) Loan Documents or the value or the Collateral is impaired, threatened or jeopardized in any
material respect as reasonably determined by Noteholder. This provision shall not be construed to provide Maker with any grace period in complying with any obligations imposed on Maker by the terms of the Loan Documents. 

(3) Any warranty or representation made in this Agreement by Maker is determined by Noteholder to be untrue in any material respect.

 (4) If Maker (i) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (ii) files a

law or otherwise, is modified in any way adverse to Noteholder and such default is not cured within 30 days after Noteholder has given Maker written notice of such default or terminates and is not reinstated within sixty (60) days thereafter.

  
 26 

 (7) Key Bank National Association as agent for one or more lenders or for itself, or
successors or assigns, or (b) any other lender that has a lien or security interest on any one or more of the Noteholder Related Parties, acquires one or more of the Noteholder Related Parties, or any interest therein, (including, without
limitation, membership interests, partnership interests, shares or other ownership interests). “Noteholder Related Parties” mean: Maker, Thompson National Properties, LLC, TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc., TNP Strategic Retail Operating
Partnership, L.P. or any other Constituent Owner, 
  

	IX.	RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDER UPON DEFAULT 

 9.1 Acceleration of Indebtedness. Upon occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter, Noteholder may at its option and without demand or notice to Maker, accelerate the maturity
of the Note and declare the Indebtedness secured hereby immediately due and payable. Unless otherwise provided herein, Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand, dishonor and default, notice of intent
to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable and notice of the declaration that the Indebtedness is immediately due and payable, and any and all rights Maker may have to a hearing before any judicial authority prior to the exercise by
Noteholder of any of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreements securing or executed in connection with the Indebtedness, all to the extent authorized by law. 
 9.2 Operation of Property by Noteholder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, in addition to all other rights herein conferred on the Noteholder, the
Noteholder (or any person, firm or corporation designated by the Noteholder) may, but will not be obligated to, enter upon and take possession of any or all of the Mortgaged Property, exclude Maker therefrom, and hold, use, administer, manage and
operate the same to the extent that Maker could do so. If the Mortgaged Property includes any type of business enterprise, the Noteholder may operate and manage such business without any liability of Noteholder to Maker resulting therefrom
(excepting failure to use ordinary care in the operation and management of the Mortgaged Property); and the Noteholder or Noteholder’s designee may collect, receive and receipt for all proceeds accruing from such operation and management, and,
at Maker’s expense, make repairs and purchase needed additional property, and exercise every power, right and privilege of Maker with respect to the Mortgaged Property. When and if the expenses of such operation and management have been paid
and the Indebtedness has been paid, the Mortgaged Property shall be returned to Maker (providing there has been no foreclosure sale or conveyance in lieu thereof). This provision is a right created by this Agreement and cumulative of, and is not in
any way to affect, the right of the Noteholder to the appointment of a receiver given the Noteholder by law. 

9.3 Judicial Proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, or upon the breach of any
covenant, term or condition herein contained, Noteholder may proceed by suit for a foreclosure of its lien on the Mortgaged Property, or to sue Maker for damages on, arising out of said default or breach, or for specific performance of any provision
contained herein, or to enforce any other appropriate legal or equitable right. 

  
 27 

 9.4 Foreclosure; Expense of Litigation. 

When all or any part of the Indebtedness shall become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, Noteholder shall have the right to
foreclose the lien hereof for such Indebtedness or part thereof and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Act (Chapter 735, Sections
5/15-1101 et seq., Illinois Compiled Statutes) (as may be amended from time to time, the “Act”). In the event of a foreclosure sale, Noteholder is hereby authorized, without the consent of Maker, to assign any and all
insurance policies to the purchaser at such sale or to take such other steps as Noteholder may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of such insurance policies. 

In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale all
expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Noteholder for reasonable attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs
(which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to the title as
Noteholder may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property. All expenditures and
expenses of the nature mentioned in this paragraph and such other expenses and fees as may be incurred in the enforcement of Maker’s obligations hereunder, the protection of said Mortgaged Property and the maintenance of the lien of this
Mortgage, including the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by Noteholder in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Mortgage, the Note, or the Mortgaged Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparations for the
commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding shall be immediately due and payable by Maker, with interest thereon until paid at the Default Rate and shall be secured by this Mortgage. 

9.5 Application of Proceeds of Foreclosure Sale. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property shall be
distributed and applied in accordance with the Act and, unless otherwise specified therein, in such order as Noteholder may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 9.6 Appointment of Receiver. Upon or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such complaint is filed shall, upon petition by Noteholder, appoint a
receiver for the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Act. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Maker at the time of application for such receiver and without
regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property and Noteholder hereunder or any other holder of the Note may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Premises
(i) during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, (ii) in case of a sale and a deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption, whether there be redemption or not, and (iii) during any further times when Maker, but for the
intervention of such 

  
 28 

 
receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits. Such receiver also shall have all other powers and rights that may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the
protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Mortgaged Property during said period, including, to the extent permitted by law, the right to lease all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property for a term that extends beyond the
time of such receiver’s possession without obtaining prior court approval of such lease. The court from time to time may authorize the application of the net income received by the receiver in payment of (a) the Indebtedness, or by any
decree foreclosing this Mortgage, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure sale, and (b) any deficiency upon a sale
and deficiency. 
 9.7 Noteholder’s Right of Possession in Case of Default. At any time after an Event of Default
has occurred, Maker shall, upon demand of Noteholder, surrender to Noteholder possession of the Mortgaged Property. Noteholder, in its discretion, may, with process of law, enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the
Premises, together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating thereto, and may exclude Maker and its employees, agents or servants therefrom, and Noteholder may then hold, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property,
either personally or by its agents. Noteholder shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion may be deemed proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the avails, rents, issues, and profits of the
Mortgaged Property, including actions for the recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for rent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Noteholder shall have full power to: 

cancel or terminate any lease or sublease for any cause or on any ground which would entitle Maker to cancel the same;

 elect to disaffirm any lease or sublease which is then subordinate to the lien hereof; 

extend or modify any then existing leases and to enter into new leases, which extensions, modifications and leases may
provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the Maturity Date and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and
agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Maker and all persons whose interests in the Mortgaged Property are subject to the lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers
at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the Indebtedness, satisfaction of any foreclosure judgment, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser; 

make any repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to the Premises as
Noteholder deems are necessary; 
 insure and reinsure the Mortgaged Property and all risks incidental to
Noteholder’s possession, operation and management thereof; and 

  
 29 

 receive all of such avails, rents, issues and profits. 

9.8 Application of Income Received by Noteholder. Noteholder, in the exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove conferred upon
it, shall have full power to use and apply the avails, rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as Noteholder may determine: 

to the payment of the operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property, including cost of management and leasing thereof
(which shall include compensation to Noteholder and its agent or agents, if management be delegated to an agent or agents, and shall also include lease commissions and other compensation and expenses of seeking and procuring tenants and entering
into leases), established claims for damages, if any, and premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized; 
 to the
payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises; and 
 to the
payment of any Indebtedness, including any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale. 
 9.9 Compliance with
Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law. 
 If any provision in this Mortgage shall be inconsistent with any
provision of the Act, provisions of the Act shall take precedence over the provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with the Act.

 If any provision of this Mortgage shall grant to Noteholder (including Noteholder acting as a
Noteholder-in-possession) or a receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 9.6 of this Mortgage any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon or following the occurrence of an Event of Default which are more limited than the
powers, rights or remedies that would otherwise be vested in Noteholder or in such receiver under the Act in the absence of said provision, Noteholder and such receiver shall be vested with the powers, rights and remedies granted in the Act to the
full extent permitted by law. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by
Noteholder which are of the type referred to in Section 5/15-1510 or 5/15-1512 of the Act, whether incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether or not enumerated in this Mortgage, shall be added to the
Indebtedness and/or by the judgment of foreclosure. 
 9.10 Waiver of Rights. Maker hereby covenants and agrees that it
will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner claim or take any advantage of, any stay, exemption or extension law or any so-called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time hereafter in force providing for the valuation or
appraisement of the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or to decree, 

  
 30 

 
judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; or, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any rights under any statute now or hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold, or
any part thereof, or relating to the marshalling thereof, upon foreclosure sale or other enforcement hereof; and without limiting the foregoing: 
 Maker hereby expressly waives any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption, if any, under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage, on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every
person, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights of reinstatement and redemption of the Maker and of all other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the full extent permitted by the provisions of Illinois Compiled
Statutes 735 ILCS 5/15 - 1601 or other applicable law or replacement statutes; 
 Maker will not invoke or
utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to the Noteholder but will suffer and permit the execution of every such right, power and remedy as
though no such law or laws had been made or enacted; and 
 If the Maker is a trustee, Maker represents that the
provisions of this paragraph (including the waiver of reinstatement and redemption rights) were made at the express direction of Maker’s beneficiaries and the persons having the power of direction over Maker, and are made on behalf of the trust
estate of Maker and all beneficiaries of Maker, as well as all other persons mentioned above. 
  

	X.	USE OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS 

10.1 Holding of Proceeds. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article VI, Section C, any insurance proceeds paid to Noteholder
will be first applied in payment of the expenses, if any, incurred by Noteholder in the collection of said insurance proceeds and the balance, if any, will be held and disbursed by Noteholder in accordance with the following provisions: 

A. (1) Should there exist an Event of Default at the time of the casualty or should there occur at any time thereafter an Event of
Default; (2) should either the Schnuck Markets Lease and/or the Starplex Lease terminate a lease as a result of said damage, or, whether or not a result of such damage, at any time prior to the commencement of reconstruction; (3) should
any insurance proceeds be remaining after the completion of all restoration work; (4) should one year or less remain until the maturity of the Note; or (5) should Maker fail to comply with the requirements for disbursing the insurance
proceeds, then in any of the said events, Noteholder may, at its option, apply the insurance proceeds on the Indebtedness, in any order and whether due or not, or to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, or to be released to Maker, but any such
application or release shall not cure or waive any default. 

  
 31 

 B. If the insurance proceeds have not been disbursed under the provisions of
subparagraph A hereof, or if under subparagraph A Noteholder elects to permit the insurance proceeds to be used for restoration of the Mortgaged Property, the proceeds will be held and disbursed as follows: 

(1) Should the insurance proceeds be less than $50,000.00, Maker shall immediately commence and complete the work of restoring the
damaged property and Noteholder will disburse the portion of the insurance proceeds to pay actual costs to replace, repair and restore the damaged property to Maker upon (i) completion of the restoration work to a condition satisfactory to
Noteholder, (ii) submission of a written report by Maker that all restoration work has been completed, and (iii) receipt by Noteholder of such evidence as Noteholder may require that all mechanics and materialmen performing work or
supplying materials for the restoration work have been fully paid. 
 (2) Should the insurance proceeds equal or be in
excess of $50,000.00, but less than $100,000.00, Maker shall cause plans and specifications (“Plans”) for the restoration of the damaged property to be submitted to Noteholder for approval. Upon receipt of Noteholder’s approval, Maker
shall forthwith commence and complete the restoration of the damaged property in accordance with the approved Plans. Noteholder will disburse the portion of the insurance proceeds to pay the actual costs to repair and restore the damaged property to
Maker upon (i) completion of the restoration work to a condition satisfactory to Noteholder, (ii) submission of a written report by Maker that all restoration work has been completed, and (iii) receipt by Noteholder of such evidence
as Noteholder may require that all mechanics and materialmen performing work or supplying materials for the restoration work have been completely paid. 
 (3) If the insurance proceeds are equal or in excess of $100,000.00: (a) Plans for the restoration of the damaged property and a cost estimate will both be prepared by an architect employed by
Maker and acceptable to Noteholder. The Plans and cost estimates will be submitted to Noteholder for approval. Upon receipt of Noteholder’s approval, Maker will promptly commence and diligently pursue the restoration work in accordance with the
approved Plans. (b) If prior to the commencement of, or at any time during the restoration work, Noteholder shall determine that the total cost of the restoration work shall exceed the balance of the insurance proceeds held in its possession,
Maker shall immediately pay, in cash, to Noteholder the amount of such excess costs. Until the amount of said excess costs is paid to Noteholder, Noteholder shall not be obligated to disburse any of the insurance proceeds held by it. The insurance
proceeds and the amount of excess costs paid by Maker are hereinafter called “Construction Funds”. The amount of such excess costs paid by Maker shall be disbursed prior to the disbursement of any of the insurance proceeds held by
Noteholder. (c) The Construction Funds will be made available to Maker as restoration repair work progresses pursuant to certificates of the architect approved by Noteholder, submitted not more than once every thirty (30) days. There shall
be delivered to Noteholder such other evidences as Noteholder may reasonably request, from time to time, during the restoration work, as to the progress of the work, the compliance with the approved Plans, the total cost of restoration work to date
of request, the total cost needed to complete the restoration work, lien waivers or evidence of no liens against the Mortgaged Property. If at any time during the course of the restoration work, Noteholder learns of facts concerning the restoration
work which is materially adverse to Noteholder, or payment or nonpayment of mechanics and materialmen, or inaccuracy of any information furnished with respect to it, Noteholder may withhold the disbursement of funds until such time as it is prudent
to continue to disburse the Construction Funds or may determine not to make any further disbursements of the Construction Funds and instead to apply all such funds remaining to the payment of the Indebtedness then outstanding, whether due or not at
such time, without any prepayment premium, and in such order as determined by Noteholder. 

  
 32 

 C. Noteholder shall not be required to hold any funds received by it described in this
Article X in any account special or separate from Noteholder’s general account. No such funds shall be required to be placed in any interest bearing account, and any interest earned thereon shall constitute additional insurance proceeds to be
applied as provided in this Mortgage. 
  

	XI.	SPECIAL CONDITIONS 

 This
document is expressly made subject to the following special conditions. 
 11.1 Jury Trial Waiver. MAKER RECOGNIZES
THAT DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN TRANSACTION SECURED BY THIS MORTGAGE ARE LIKELY TO BE COMPLEX AND WISH TO STREAMLINE AND MINIMIZE THE COST OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS BY AGREEING TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY NOTEHOLDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE
TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
 11.2 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage and
all provisions hereof shall be binding upon and enforceable against Maker and its assigns and other successors. This Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of Noteholder, its successors and assigns and any holder or holders,
from time to time, of the Note. 
 11.3 Waiver and Election. The exercise of any right or remedy by Noteholder shall
not be considered as a waiver of any right or remedy nor shall any acceptance by Noteholder of Maker’s partial payment or partial performance of obligations under the Note or hereunder, nor shall any failure or delay by Noteholder in exercising
any of its rights or remedies as to any Event of Default which may occur, operate as a waiver by Noteholder of its rights or remedies with respect to the occurrence of any other or further Event of Default or to the recurrence of the same Event of
Default. The filing of a suit to foreclose the Deed of Trust granted by this Agreement either on any matured portion of the Indebtedness or for the whole of the Indebtedness, shall never be considered an election so as to preclude foreclosure under
power of sale after a dismissal of the suit; nor shall the filing of the necessary notices for foreclosure, as provided in this Agreement, preclude the exercise by Noteholder of any other right or remedy including, without limitation, the
prosecution of a later suit thereon. 
 11.4 Landlord-Tenant Relationship. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property under
this Agreement shall, without further notice, create the relationship of landlord and tenant at sufferance between the purchaser and Maker and any person or entity claiming an interest in the Mortgaged Property through Maker or otherwise occupying
any of the Mortgaged Property, upon failure to surrender possession thereof, Maker and all such persons and entities may be removed by a writ of possession upon suit by the purchaser. 

  
 33 

 11.5 Usury. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it
is expressly provided that in no case or event should the aggregate amounts, which by applicable law are deemed to be interest with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any document securing, evidencing or relating to the Note ever exceed the
“Maximum Nonusurious Rate”(as defined in the Note). In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intention of Noteholder and the Maker to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws of the State of
Illinois and/or of the United States from time to time in effect. Nothing in this Agreement, the Note or any document securing, evidencing or relating to the Note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use,
forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Nonusurious Rate. If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, charged or paid with respect to the Note which by applicable law are deemed to be
interest, would produce an interest rate greater than the Maximum Nonusurious Rate, the Maker and any other person obligated to pay the Note, stipulates that the amounts will be deemed to have been paid, charged or contracted for as a result of an
error on the part of Maker, any other person obligated for the payment of the Note and the Noteholder and upon discovery of the error or upon notice thereof from the Maker or the party making such payment, the Noteholder or the party receiving such
excess payment shall, at its option, refund the amount of such excess payment or credit the excess payment against any other amount due under the Note. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of the Note for the use,
forbearance or detention of monies shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, amortized, prorated, allocated and spread through the term of the Note. At all times, if any, under the Illinois Interest Act (815 ILCS 205/ et seq.) (the

precluded by the statute or governmental action or by the general law of the jurisdiction governing the Note. 

11.6 Enforceability. If any provision hereof is presently or at any time becomes invalid or unenforceable, the other

unenforceable as to any part of the Mortgaged Property, if permitted by applicable law the unsecured or partially unsecured portion of the Indebtedness shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured
portion of the Indebtedness and all payments made on the Indebtedness, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedures, shall be considered to have been first paid on and applied to the full payment of that portion
of the Indebtedness which is not secured or not fully secured by the lien or liens created herein.

payment of taxes, assessments, and other charges, the keeping of the Mortgaged Property in repair, or any other term or covenant herein contained, Noteholder may, but shall not be obligated to, incur such expenses as deemed necessary by Noteholder,
and make advances to perform such provisions, terms or covenants, and where necessary enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of performing any such term or covenant. Noteholder is further empowered, but not obligated, to make advances for any
expenditure deemed advisable by Noteholder for the preservation of the Mortgaged Property or for the continuation of the operation thereof. Maker agrees to repay all sums so advanced or expended, and all expenses incurred by Noteholder in connection
with the exercise of any of its rights under this Agreement, upon demand, with interest from the date such advances or expenditures are made, determined on the same basis as matured principal in the Note and all sums so advanced or expended, with
interest, shall be secured hereby. 
 11.10 Release or Extension by Noteholder. Noteholder, without notice, may
release any part of the Mortgaged Property or any person liable for the Indebtedness without in any way affecting the liens hereof on any part of the Mortgaged Property not expressly released and may agree in writing with any party with an interest
in the Mortgaged Property to extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or to waive the prompt and full performance of any term, condition or covenant of any document securing, evidencing or relating to the Indebtedness.

 11.11 Partial Payments. Acceptance by Noteholder of any payment of less than the amount due on the Indebtedness
shall be deemed acceptance on account only and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be a default; and at any time thereafter and until the entire amount due on the Indebtedness has been paid, Noteholder shall be
entitled to exercise all rights conferred on it by the terms of this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. 

11.12 Titles not to be Considered. All section, subsection, paragraph or other titles contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and this Agreement shall be construed without reference to said titles.

Agreement. To this maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement may be construed as a mortgage, deed of trust, chattel mortgage, conveyance, assignment, security agreement, pledge, financing statement, hypothecation or contract, or any one or
more of them, in order fully to effectuate the lien hereof and the purposes and agreements herein set forth.

 11.14 Additional Taxes and Indemnification. Maker agrees that if any state, federal
or municipal government, or any of its subdivisions having jurisdiction, shall levy, assess or charge any tax, assessment or imposition upon this Agreement or the credit or indebtedness secured hereby or the Note or the interest of Noteholder in the
Mortgaged Premises or upon Noteholder by reason of any of the foregoing (excepting therefrom any income tax on interest payments on the principal portion of the Indebtedness secured hereby) then, Maker shall pay all such taxes to or for Noteholder
as they become due and payable, and provided further that in the event of passage of any law or regulation permitting, authorizing or requiring the tax, assessment or imposition to be levied, assessed or charged, which law or regulation prohibits
Maker from paying the tax, assessment or imposition, to or for Noteholder, then all sums hereby secured shall become due and payable at the option of the Noteholder but such maturity date shall not be earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days
after written notice to Maker. Maker agrees to exhibit to Noteholder at any time upon request, official receipts showing payment of all taxes, assessments and charges which Maker is required or elects to pay under this Section 11.13. Maker
agrees that if the United States Government or any department or bureau thereof shall at any time require revenue stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Agreement, Maker will upon demand pay for stamps in the required amount and deliver them to
Noteholder and Maker agrees to INDEMNIFY and HOLD HARMLESS Noteholder against loss, damage, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and investigatory expenses)on account of such revenue stamps, whether such loss, damage,
liability or expense arises before or after payment of the Note and any termination of the estate created by this Agreement whether as a result of the exercise by Noteholder of any default remedies available to it at law or in equity or otherwise,
but such indemnity and hold harmless shall not apply to the extent that such loss, damage, expense or liability is caused by or attributable to Noteholder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

11.15 Indemnification. MAKER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS NOTEHOLDER FROM ALL LOSS, DAMAGE AND EXPENSE, INCLUDING
REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND INVESTIGATORY EXPENSES, INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN OR TO WHICH NOTEHOLDER MAY BE MADE A PARTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE LIEN OF THIS AGREEMENT, but such indemnity and hold
harmless shall not apply to the extent that such loss, damage, expense or liability is caused by or attributable to Noteholder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Maker’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity and hold
harmless shall survive any termination of the estate created by this Agreement whether as a result of the exercise by Noteholder of any default remedies available to it at law or in equity or otherwise. 

11.16 Additional Documents. Maker agrees that upon request of Noteholder it will from time to time execute, acknowledge and
deliver all such additional documents and further assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may be reasonably necessary fully to effectuate the intent of this Agreement. The Maker within ten (l0) days
upon request in person or by mail will furnish a duly acknowledged written statement setting forth the amount of the debt secured by this Agreement, the date to which interest has been paid and stating either that no offsets or defenses exist
against the debt secured hereby, or, if such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature thereof. 

  
 36 

 11.17 Disclosure. Maker agrees to disclose to Noteholder upon request, the then
ownership of the beneficial interest in any trust which then holds legal title to the Mortgaged Property and shall cause the owner(s) of such beneficial interest to furnish sufficient evidence to Noteholder for it to determine the identity of all of
the parties which compose such owner(s). 
 11.18 Subrogation. In the event the Note is given for money advanced in the
payment of a sum owing upon another note or indebtedness, Maker hereby acknowledges that it has requested and does hereby request Noteholder to advance the money necessary to pay such note or indebtedness, whether or not a release or transfer of
said other note or indebtedness has been or will be executed by the owner and holder thereof, and Maker hereby agrees that Noteholder and Noteholder’s assigns shall be, and are hereby, subrogated to any and all the rights, liens, remedies,
equities, superior title and benefits held, owned, possessed or enjoyed at any time by any owner or holder of said other note or indebtedness, to secure payment to Noteholder of the Note hereby secured and, accordingly, any such other note and
indebtedness, and all liens securing same are hereby extended to the maturity date of the Note hereby secured in order to additionally secure such Note. Nothing in this Section 11.17 shall alter any obligation of maker hereunder or under the
Note. 
 11.19. Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. 

11.20. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original document
and which, taken together, constitute one and the same agreement.

(iv) Prior to and as a condition for each release, Maker shall provide Noteholder with three (3) originals of an

Mortgaged Property delivered to Noteholder in connection for the subject loan prior to closing; 
 (v) Prior to
and as a condition for each release, Maker shall pay Noteholder all net sales proceeds for the applicable Release Lot but not less than the applicable Release Minimum Payment for each such Release Lot as provided below (unless such applicable

	XII.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

Except with respect to the Master Lease or the Master Lease Guaranty or as otherwise specifically provided herein, in the event of a
default in the payment of the Note by Maker, or any default under this Mortgage or any other document securing, evidencing or relating to the Note, Noteholder’s sole recourse against Maker shall be against the Mortgaged Property described in
this Mortgage and such other documents securing, evidencing or relating to the Note, and Noteholder shall not be entitled to recover any deficiency judgment against Maker if the foreclosure or recovery of such Mortgaged Property is not sufficient to
pay the amount owed 

  
 40 

 
by Maker hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation of liability, Maker shall be fully liable (a) for fraud or misrepresentation made in or in connection with the Note or any
document securing, evidencing or relating to the payment of the Note or the apparent purpose of which is to deprive Noteholder of the security for the Note; (b) for failure to pay taxes, assessments, charges for labor or materials or any other
charges which can create liens on any portion of the Mortgaged Property except to the extent funds for payment of said taxes, assessments, charges for labor or materials or any other charges were placed in escrow with Noteholder; (c) for the
misapplication of (i) proceeds of insurance covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) proceeds of the sale or condemnation of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or (iii) rentals and security deposits received by or
on behalf of Maker subsequent to the date on which Noteholder gives written notice of the posting of foreclosure notices or the exercise of Noteholder’s assignment of rents; (d) for failure to maintain, repair or restore the Mortgaged
Property in accordance with any document securing, evidencing or relating to the payment of the Note prior to foreclosure; (e) for any act or omission knowingly or intentionally committed or permitted by Maker which results in the waste, damage
or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, but only to the extent such events are not covered by insurance proceeds which are received by Noteholder; (f) for the return to Noteholder of all unearned advance rentals and security deposits paid by
tenants of the Mortgaged Property or any guarantors of the leases of such tenants which are not rightfully refunded to or which are forfeited by such tenants or guarantors; (g) for the return of, or reimbursement for, all personal property
taken from the Mortgaged Property by or on behalf of Maker and not otherwise replaced with personal property of like kind and similar value (normal wear and tear excepted); (h) for any liability of Maker pursuant to the provision contained in
this Mortgage pertaining to hazardous or toxic materials or substances; (i) for any liability of Maker pursuant to the Certificate and Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances executed by Maker and delivered to Noteholder in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note; (j) for failure to maintain or alter the Mortgaged Property in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as it may be amended from time to time prior to foreclosure; and (k) for all
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of one or more of the above subparagraphs (a) through (j), inclusive. Nothing in this paragraph, elsewhere this Mortgage, the Note or in any other Loan
Document limiting Noteholder’s recourse against Maker shall alter, waive or otherwise limit any liability or obligation of TNP SRT Constitution Trail Master Lessee, LLC as tenant under the Master Lease or Thompson National Properties, LLC as
guarantors under the Master Lease Guaranty. The Master Lease and the Master Lease Guaranty are independent of this Mortgage and survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage. 
 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. TO INDUCE NOTEHOLDER TO ACCEPT THE NOTE, MAKER IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO NOTEHOLDER’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. EXCEPT FOR ACTIONS REQUIRING LITIGATION IN MCLEAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, MAKER HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT LOCATED WITHIN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, 

  
 41 

 
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON MAKER, AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO MAKER AT THE ADDRESS STATED HEREIN AND SERVICE SO MADE WILL
BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT.

 Maker further COVENANTS AND AGREES:

 3. To enforce or secure, in the name of the Noteholder if Noteholder should so request, the performance of each and every obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by
(a) any Lessee under the terms of the Leases and (b) any Guarantor under the terms of the Guaranties; 

4. To appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of, or in any manner connected with the

 3

directly to Noteholder upon such Lessee’s, Guarantor’s or occupant’s receipt of written notice from Noteholder of Noteholder’s exercise of Noteholder’s rights under this Assignment; 

9. To provide Noteholder with copies of all notices, complaints, demands and petitions regarding (a) any actual,

Maker’s sending same or within five (5) days of Maker’s receipt of same, as applicable; and 
 10.
To promptly remit to Noteholder any and all Rents received by Maker after Maker’s receipt from Noteholder of termination of Maker’s license to collect Rents granted herein. 

So long as there shall exist no default by Maker in the payment of any indebtedness and obligations secured hereby or in the observance
and performance of any other obligation, covenant or warranty set forth herein or in the Note, the Mortgage or any other document executed by Maker evidencing, securing or relating to the Note (such documents being herein referred to collectively as
the “Loan Documents”), Maker shall have the right under a license granted hereby (but limited as provided in the following paragraph) to collect, receive and retain, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents arising from or out of the
Leases. 
 Upon or at any time after default in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the observance or
performance of any obligation, covenant or warranty set forth herein or in the Loan Documents which remains uncured beyond any applicable cure period (an “Event of Default”), Noteholder, at its option, shall have the right, power and
authority to exercise and enforce any or all of the following rights and remedies: (a) to terminate the license hereby granted to Maker to collect the Rents as aforesaid, and, without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, to, in
Noteholder’s own name, demand, collect, receive, sue for, attach and levy the Rents, to give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor, and, after deducting all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, to apply the net proceeds thereof, together with any funds of Maker deposited with Noteholder, upon any indebtedness secured hereby 

  
 4 

 
or obligation provided for in any of the Loan Documents and in such order as Noteholder may determine; (b) to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable and, at
Noteholder’s option, to exercise all of the rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents or under the terms hereof; and (c) without any action or proceeding, through any person or by agent, or by the trustee(s) or successor
trustee under the Mortgage, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, to enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and irrespective of Maker’s possession of the Mortgaged Property, to
make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any of the Leases and Guaranties, to remove and evict any Lessee or other occupant, to increase or reduce rents, to decorate, clean and make repairs, and to otherwise do any act or incur any cost
or expenses Noteholder shall deem proper to protect the Leases, Guaranties and the Mortgaged Property, as fully and to the same extent as Maker could do if in possession, and in such event to apply any funds so collected to the operation and
management of the Mortgaged Property, but in such order as Noteholder shall deem proper, and including payment of reasonable management, brokerage and attorney’s fees, and then, to the extent funds are available and to the extent deemed
appropriate by Noteholder, to the maintenance, without interest thereon, of a reserve for replacement of items on the Mortgaged Property, and then, if any of such funds remain, to the payment of any indebtedness evidencing, securing or relating to
the terms of the Loan Documents whether or not then due. 
 The exercise by Noteholder of any of the rights and remedies
described above, including collection of the Rents and application thereof as aforesaid and/or the entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect any notice of
default under the Loan Documents or hereunder, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, and the enforcement of such right or remedy by Noteholder, once exercised, shall continue for so long as Noteholder shall elect, notwithstanding that
the collection and application as aforesaid of the Rents may have cured the original Event of Default. If Noteholder shall thereafter elect to discontinue the exercise of any such right or remedy, the same or any other right or remedy hereunder may
be reasserted at any time and from time to time following any subsequent Event of Default. 
 Notwithstanding the aforesaid
license of Maker to collect the Rents accruing under the Leases prior to an Event of Default, Noteholder shall at all times be the creditor of each Lessee under the Leases in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy,
reorganization, rearrangement, insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings, with Noteholder having the option to apply any monies received by the Noteholder as such creditor to reduction of the principal or interest or other indebtedness
evidencing, securing or relating to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the aforesaid license of Maker to collect rents under the Leases prior to an Event of Default, Noteholder may collect or receive all payments, premiums and considerations paid
by any Lessee, whether or not pursuant to the terms of any Lease, for the right to terminate, cancel or modify a Lease, with an option to apply any money so received by the Noteholder to reduction of the principal or interest or any other
indebtedness evidencing, securing or relating to the Loan Documents in any order or manner Noteholder elects or to establish a tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve with such funds to be utilized by Maker to pay for tenant improvements
and leasing commissions with respect to said Lease. Further, Maker covenants and agrees to immediately pay over to Noteholder any and all sums received by Maker as creditor in respect to an 

  
 5 

 
assignment for the benefit of creditors in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, dissolution or receivership proceedings, or as payment, premium or other consideration in
connection with the cancellation or modification of any Lease, whereupon Noteholder shall have the option to apply any funds so received to reduction of the principal or interest or any other indebtedness evidencing, securing or relating to the Loan
Documents in any order or manner Noteholder elects or to establish a tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve with such funds to be utilized by Maker to pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions with respect to said Lease.

 This Assignment shall remain in effect as long as any part of the indebtedness evidencing, securing or relating to the Loan
Documents remains unpaid, and upon payment in full of said indebtedness, Noteholder shall execute a release of this Assignment upon request of Maker and at the expense of Maker. 

Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if there is an Event of Default, and if there is any law requiring Noteholder to take actual
possession of the Mortgaged Property (or some action equivalent thereto, such as securing the appointment of a receiver) in order for Noteholder to “perfect” or “activate” its rights and remedies as set forth herein, then to the
maximum extent permitted by law Maker waives the benefits of such law and agrees that such law shall be satisfied solely by: (1) Noteholder sending Maker written notice that Noteholder intends to enforce, and is enforcing, its rights in and to
the Mortgaged Property and the rents, revenues, profits, and other items assigned herein, and (2) Noteholder sending written notice to any or all tenants on the Mortgaged Property that said tenants should commence making payments under the
Leases directly to Noteholder or its designee. 
 In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Assignment shall
for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Assignment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 This Assignment shall run with the land and shall inure to the
benefit of and bind all parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.

 This Assignment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original instrument and which, taken
together, constitute ones and the same agreement.
