Recitals

A. Mortgagor has entered a Guarantee Assumption Agreement pursuant to a Facility Agreement dated April 5, 2010 between Neutron Energy, Inc. (“Borrower”) and Mortgagee (as from time to time amended, supplemented, replaced or restated, the “Facility Agreement”) among Mortgagor and Mortgagee, pursuant to which Mortgagee made a loan facility available to Borrower in the principal amount of up to Sixteen Million United States Dollars (US$16,000,000.00) among both the First Tranche Commitment and the Second Tranche Commitment, in addition to capitalized interest of up to $900,000.00, fees of up to $1,020,000.00, and closing and certain other costs and fees, which loan facility must be repaid according to the schedule set forth in the Facility Agreement and no later than the maturity date, as such may be amended or extended from time to time, of the Promissory Note given by Mortgagor pursuant to the Facility Agreement. Cibola Resources LLC will benefit financially from the financing and credit made available to Borrower under the Facility Agreement because these funds will be used to develop and operate the properties described herein, which are the only asset owned by Cibola Resources LLC.

B. In accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement, Mortgagor executes and delivers this Mortgage as continuing collateral security for the payment and performance of all present and future obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee under (i) the Facility Agreement; (ii) the Promissory Note; and (iii) any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined below) (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”). This Mortgage is intended to grant to and provide Mortgagee with the liens and security interests as called for in the Facility Agreement and Transaction Documents with respect to Mortgagor’s present and future properties and assets.

All and each of the Facility Agreement, the Promissory Note, and the Securities (as such term is defined in the Facility Agreement), all documents from time to time necessary to implement each or any of them, together with each and all other documents which Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall agree, in each case as from time to time amended, supplemented, replaced or restated, will be referred to as the “Transaction Documents”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in the Guarantee Assumption Agreement, the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents, the debts described in this Mortgage and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, and for the purpose of securing, in such order of priority as Mortgagee may determine, payment and performance of all Secured Obligations, Mortgagor, in consideration of the obligations and rights of the parties, and for the purposes described in this Mortgage, agrees with Mortgagee as follows:

1.1 All of Mortgagor’s present or after-acquired right, title and interest in and to the leasehold interests, unpatented mining claims, easements, rights-of-ways, licenses, and permits, whether owned or leased, all as described in Exhibit A attached to and by this reference made part of this Mortgage (the “Real Estate”), all unpatented mining claims and any amended, relocated, renewal or replacement unpatented mining claims belonging to Mortgagor covering lands situated within such lands (collectively the “Claims”), together with all of the uranium, U3O8, uranium bearing ores, thorium, and any other fissionable material, together with vanadium, molybdenum, manganese, and other non-fissionable materials that are associated with uranium, uranium bearing ores and other fissionable materials within such leaseholds or unpatented mining claims, and all other metals, minerals, ores, concentrates, and refined metals in, on or under the Real Estate and Claims (collectively the “Products”) whether or not severed or extracted from such property (the Real Estate, the Claims, and the Products are collectively referred to in this Mortgage as the “Land”).

1.2 Together with (i) all the buildings, structures and improvements of every nature now or later situated on the Land; (ii) all fixtures now or later owned or leased by Mortgagor or in which Mortgagor has any interest, and all extensions, additions, accessions, improvements, betterment, renewals, substitutions, and replacements to any of the foregoing (the “Improvements”), and all of the right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any such Improvements, subject to any Permitted Encumbrances, which shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be conclusively deemed fixtures and a part of the real property encumbered by this Mortgage; and (iii) all architect’s drawings, plans or reports, engineer’s drawings, plans or reports, surveys and other general intangibles of any nature constituting part of or relating to the Land and the Improvements.

1.3 Together with all easements, rights-of-way, gores, strips or parcels of land, streets, ways, alleys, passages, sewer rights, water courses, water rights (including, without limitation, the water rights and applications for water rights described in Exhibit A) and powers, and all appurtenances, in any way belonging, relating or appertaining to any of the property described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 or which shall in any way belong, relate or be appurtenant to the Land or the Improvements, whether now owned or later acquired by Mortgagor.

1.4 Together with all the estate, right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all judgments, insurance proceeds, awards of damages and settlements hereafter made resulting from condemnation proceedings or the taking of all or any part of the property described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 under power of eminent domain, or for any damage (whether caused by such taking or otherwise) to all or any part of the property described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 or to any rights appurtenant, and all proceeds of any sales or other dispositions of all or any part of the property described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to permit such dispositions except as provided in this Mortgage or the Facility Agreement); and Mortgagee is authorized to collect and receive said awards and proceeds and to give proper receipts and accountings for them, and (if it so elects) to apply the same toward the payment of the Secured Obligations then due and payable; and all accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, actions and insurance proceeds and unearned premiums arising from or

1.7 Together with all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all leases and subleases, license agreements, easement agreements, and/or right-of-way agreements relating to or affecting all or any part of the property described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, in which Mortgagor is, or is the successor to, the lessee, as listed on Exhibit A along with the current lessors and a statement as to whether consent of such lessor is required to create a security interest in such leases and other contracts, now or later existing or entered into during the term of this Mortgage, including any extensions or renewals, and all other leases, license agreements,

After such occurrence or determination, Mortgagee, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action

or proceeding to enforce any such claim, demand or cause of action and may make any compromise or settlement of any such claim, demand or cause of action.

3.14 Leasehold Estate Provisions. To the extent the Mortgagor’s interest in any of the Property is a leasehold (“Leasehold”), Mortgagor agrees:

(a) To perform and comply in all material respects with all agreements, covenants, terms, and conditions imposed on or assumed by Mortgagor as tenant under any Leases, subleases or other occupancy agreements, if any, and that if Mortgagor fails to do so, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, take any action the Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of Mortgagor’s covenants or obligations under the leases. On receipt by Mortgagee from the landlord under any Lease of any written notice of default by the tenant thereunder, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action as stated above to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof is questioned or denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and on the Property to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or to cure any such default by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may pay such sums of money as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary for any such purpose, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee, immediately and without demand, all such sums so paid by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the rate equal to the Funding Rate specified in the Facility Agreement. All sums so paid and expended by Mortgagee and the interest thereon shall be added to and be secured by the lien hereof. Mortgagor shall also enforce the performance by the lessor under each Lease to which it is a party of such lessor’s material obligations under such Lease.

(b) It will not surrender the Leasehold estate and interest or terminate or cancel any Lease (other than in the ordinary course of business) and that Mortgagor will not, without Mortgagee’s express, prior, written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign, sublease, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Lease either orally or in writing, and any such termination, cancellation, assignment, sublease, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any such Lease without Mortgagee’s prior written consent thereto shall be void and of no force and effect. There shall be no merger of the Leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee estate of the Property or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

4. Compliance with Laws. Since Mortgagor’s taking of possession of the Property, the Property has complied in all material respects with and from the date of this Mortgage will continue to comply in all material respects with, all applicable restrictive covenants, applicable zoning and subdivision ordinances and building codes and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, in each case, save for where non-compliance does not have, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. If Mortgagor receives notice from any federal, state or other governmental body that Borrower or the Property is not in compliance in any material respect with any ordinance, code, law or regulation, Mortgagor will promptly attempt to cure any violation and will provide Mortgagee with a copy of such notice promptly.

5. Taxes and Impositions.

5.1 Payment of Taxes. All real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-governmental levies or assessments such as charges for water or sewer maintenance, association dues or charges or fees levied, or charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property which are assessed or imposed upon the Property, or become due and payable, and which create or appear to create a lien upon all or any part of the Property (all of which taxes, assessments and other governmental charges of like nature are later referred to as “Impositions”), shall be the obligation of Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions, when due, before delinquency, shall file all required forms with appropriate governmental authorities when due and shall deliver to Mortgagee evidence of payment of all Impositions within fifteen (15) days of their due dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest or protest any such taxes and assessments.

5.2 No Joint Assessment. Mortgagor covenants and agrees not to suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the real and personal property, or any other procedure where the lien of the real property taxes and the lien of the personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied, or charged to the Property as a single lien, or by which the Property shall be assessed, levied or charged together with any other real property owned by Mortgagor.

5.3 Payment of Revenue Stamps. If, at anytime, the United States of America, the State of New Mexico, any other state, or any governmental subdivision having jurisdiction, shall require internal revenue stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage, or other tax paid on or in connection with the execution, delivery or recording of any of the same, Mortgagor will pay them with any interest or other charges imposed in connection with the execution, delivery or recording.

6. Insurance.

6.1 Required Insurance. Mortgagor will keep the Property insured for the benefit of Mortgagee, with companies approved by Mortgagee, acting reasonably, and shall obtain, maintain and keep in force policies of insurance for commercial general liability and property against all risks and such other coverages and in such amounts as Mortgagor is obligated to obtain and maintain in accordance with the Facility Agreement. All policies of insurance required under the terms of this Mortgage shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance and the further agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of set off, counterclaim or deductions against Mortgagor. The policies shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured. All insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall be written and issued in a manner sufficient such that Mortgagor is not a co-insurer under any such policy.

6.2 Endorsement for Mortgagee. All policies of insurance shall have attached to them a lender’s loss payable endorsement for the benefit of Mortgagee in form satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall on Mortgagee’s request furnish to Mortgagee a certificate of all policies of required insurance. If Mortgagee consents to Mortgagor’s provision of any of the required insurance through blanket policies carried by Mortgagor and covering more than one location, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a certificate of insurance for each such policy describing the coverage, the limits of liability, the carrier’s or insurer’s name, the policy number, and the expiration date. At least thirty (30) days before the expiration of each such policy, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of the payment of premium and the reissuance of the policy continuing the insurance in force as required by this Mortgage. Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be cancelled or materially amended, which terms shall include any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage, without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee. If Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Mortgagee the policies of insurance required under this Section, Mortgagee may, but is not obligated to, procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Mortgagee’s interest at Mortgagor’s cost and expense.

6.3 Payment of Premiums. Mortgagor will reimburse Mortgagee for any premiums paid for insurance made by Mortgagee on Mortgagor’s default in obtaining and maintaining insurance or in assigning and delivering policies of insurance, together with interest at the rate provided in the Facility Agreement.

6.4 Use of Insurance Proceeds. So long as there is no Default and subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, Mortgagor shall be entitled to retain and apply the proceeds of any insurance policy on the Property paid on any loss covered by such insurance policy, provided, however, that Mortgagor shall apply and pay the proceeds under any such insurance policy to the repair and restoration of the Property. If there is an existing Default: (a) Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policy on the Property and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy; (b) each insurer under

such a policy is authorized and directed to make payments in the event of loss to Mortgagee directly; (c) after deducting its expenses incurred in collection or handling, Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain and apply the proceeds of any such insurance to the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, or, if Mortgagee, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee, shall so elect, Mortgagee may hold any and all such proceeds for application to payment of the cost of restoration or release any proceeds to Mortgagor or whoever is represented to be the owner of the Property at that time; and (d) Mortgagee shall have no liability to Mortgagor for failure to collect such payments in a timely manner or otherwise.

6.5 Successor Rights to Insurance. To the extent permitted by law and the policies of insurance obtained and maintained by Mortgagor, in the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage, the purchaser of the Property shall succeed to all the rights of Mortgagor, including any rights to the proceeds of insurance and to unearned premiums to the extent such proceeds and unearned premiums arise from events occurring or the passage of time after the sale on foreclosure of this Mortgage, in and to all policies of insurance assigned to Mortgagee.

6.6 No Mortgagee Liability for Insurance. Mortgagee shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Mortgagor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Mortgagor has full responsibility and bears all liability for such obligations. Mortgagor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agents, employees, officers or representatives for loss of or damage to Mortgagor, the Property, Mortgagor’s property or the property of others, whether or not under Mortgagor’s control, from any cause insured against or required to be insured against under this Mortgage.

6.7 Delivery of Insurance Bills. If a Default occurs and on Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of all bills, statements or other documents relating to insurance premiums and evidence of payment of the insurance premiums

7. Condemnation. To the extent allowed under applicable law, Mortgagee shall be entitled to all compensation awards, damages, claims, rights of action, settlement and proceeds of, or on account of, any damage or taking through condemnation or arising from a conveyance in lieu of condemnation, and is authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own or Mortgagor’s name any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim asserted in any such action or proceeding. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and other payments or relief, and the right to them, are included in the Property and Mortgagee, after deducting from such proceeds and payments all of its expenses, including attorneys’ fees, may release any monies so received by it to Mortgagor or whoever is represented to be the owner of the Property at that time, without affecting the lien of this Mortgage, or may apply the same in such manner as Mortgagee shall determine, to the reduction of the Secured Obligations. Any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Mortgagor or whoever is represented to be the owner of the Property at that time. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation awards, damages, claims, rights of action, settlements and proceeds as Mortgagee may require to give

effect to this Section. Notwithstanding any such condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation, Mortgagor shall continue to pay interest, computed at the rate provided in the Facility Agreement, on the entire unpaid balance of the Secured Obligations.

8. Care of Property.

8.1 Maintenance of Property. Mortgagor shall preserve and maintain the Property in good condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear and shutdowns for maintenance in the ordinary course of business excepted, and except to the extent, if applicable, that non-compliance is expressly permitted by the Facility Agreement), Mortgagor shall not permit, commit or suffer any waste, impairment or deterioration of all or any part of the Property which is inconsistent with Good Industry Practice, and will not take any action which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to all or any part of the Property, other than in compliance with applicable laws. Mortgagor shall supply to Mortgagee, promptly upon receipt by Mortgagor, any report, assessment or other evaluation pertaining to the physical condition of the Property, including but not limited to the presence of any Hazardous Substance or the condition of any underground storage tank.

8.2 Removal and Destruction of Property. Except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage or as expressly permitted by the Facility Agreement, no part of the Property shall be removed, demolished or materially altered without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall have the right, without such consent, to remove and dispose of, free from the lien of this Mortgage, any part of the Property, which is a fixture as from time to time may become worn out or obsolete, provided, however, that either simultaneously with or prior to such removal, any such property necessary for the conduct of Mortgagor’s business at or on the Property shall be replaced with other property of equal utility and of a value at least equal to that of the replaced property when first acquired and free from any security interest of any other person, and by such removal and replacement Mortgagor shall be deemed to have subjected such replacement property to the lien of this Mortgage.

8.3 Notice of Damage to Property. If any part of the Property is lost, damaged or destroyed by fire, condemnation or any other cause, Mortgagor will give prompt written notice to Mortgagee and, provided that a Default has not occurred, Mortgagor shall have the option, in accordance with and subject to Sections 6.4 and 7 hereof, to either: (a) promptly restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition; or (b) use the proceeds of any insurance policy or condemnation award to make payments towards the unpaid balance of the Secured Obligations.

8.4 Repair of Property. To the extent required under applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, no work of repair or improvement on or to the Property shall be undertaken until Mortgagor’s plans and specifications have been approved by all governmental and regulatory agencies having jurisdiction of the Property and such agencies shall have issued governmental approvals, licenses, permits, special use permits and zoning changes or variances as required by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.

9. Transfer; Further Encumbrance of Property. Except for Permitted Encumbrances,

and except as otherwise permitted by the Facility Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, directly or indirectly, alienate or further encumber any interest in all or any part of the Property, assign, contract to sell, convey, sell or transfer, either voluntarily or involuntarily, all or any part of the Property or any interest in it, nor shall a voluntary grant of an option, pledge, sale or other transfer or any change in the ownership or control of Mortgagor be effected, in each case except to the extent, if applicable, that the same is expressly permitted by the Facility Agreement. Any such sale, conveyance, alienation, transfer, pledge, option, or encumbrance made without Mortgagee’s prior written consent (and not expressly permitted by the Facility Agreement) shall be void, and shall give Mortgagee the right and option to declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be forthwith due and payable (subject to any applicable limitation in the Facility Agreement). The right and option of Mortgagee under this subsection to declare a default for any of the above-mentioned acts or events may be exercised at any time after the occurrence of any such act or event and Mortgagee’s acceptance of one or more payment or payments payable by Mortgagor or performance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations shall not constitute a waiver of Mortgagee’s right and option. Mortgagee’s consent to any alienation, assignment, conveyance, disposition, encumbrance or other lien, sale or transfer or failure to exercise such right and option concerning any of the foregoing shall not be construed as a waiver of Mortgagee’s right and option with regard to any subsequent transactions. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, further assign the rents from the Property to anyone other than Mortgagee, and any such assignment without prior express written consent of Mortgagee shall be null and void. Mortgagor agrees that if the ownership of all or any part of the Property becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal in any way with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents and the Secured Obligations without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor’s liability under this Mortgage or the other Transaction Documents or the Secured Obligations. No sale of the Property and no forbearance to any person with respect to the Mortgage, the other Transaction Documents or the Secured Obligations and no extension to any person of the time for payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations given by Mortgagee shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Mortgagor either in whole or in part. If Mortgagor leases the Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall cause the terms and conditions of any lease to expressly provide that the lease, and the lessee’s rights under the lease, shall be subordinate and subject to Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage and the lessee under any such leasehold interest shall agree and covenant that such leasehold interest is subordinate and subject to this Mortgage.

10. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall make, execute and deliver, or cause to be made, executed and delivered to Mortgagee, and, where appropriate, shall cause to be recorded or filed, and from time to time to be re-recorded and refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Mortgagee, any and all such further deeds of trust, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents as are reasonably necessary to effectuate, complete or perfect, or to continue and preserve the obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage and the lien of this Mortgage as a lien upon all of the Property, whether now owned or later acquired by Mortgagor, and unto all and every person or persons deriving any estate, right, title or interest under this Mortgage or the power of sale granted under this Mortgage.

11. Security Agreement and Financing Statements.

11.1 Grant of Security Interest. Mortgagor (as Debtor) grants to Mortgagee (as Creditor and Secured Party) a security interest in the Property, and in all proceeds thereof, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New Mexico ( § 55-1-101 et seq. NMSA 1978, the “Code”).

11.2 Financing Statements. When required under applicable law and as requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall execute any and all such documents, including without limitation, financing statements pursuant to the Code, as Mortgagee may request, to preserve and maintain the priority of the lien created by this Mortgage on the fixtures, improvements and as-extracted collateral constituting part of the Property and the personal property described in the Exhibits attached to and by this reference incorporated in this Agreement. Mortgagor authorizes and empowers Mortgagee to execute and file, on Mortgagor’s behalf, all financing statements and refilings and continuations as Mortgagee deems necessary or advisable to create, preserve and protect the lien. This Mortgage shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in Section 30-9A-102(uuu) of the Code and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the parties’ agreements shall be cumulative and (i) as prescribed in this Mortgage, or (ii) by general law, or (iii) as to such part of the security which is also reflected in the financing statement by the specific statutory consequences now or later enacted and specified in the Code, all at Mortgagee’s sole election.

11.3 Character of Property. Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that the filing of a financing statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties, that the Improvements are, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real estate encumbered by this Mortgage irrespective of whether (a) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (b) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital or in any list filed with Mortgagee, or (c) 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 (d) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (e) an award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (f) Mortgagor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as altering any of the rights of Mortgagee as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of Mortgagee’s lien or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be solely for the protection of Mortgagee in the event any court or judge shall hold, with respect to the matters stated in the foregoing clauses (d), (e) and (f) that notice of Mortgagee’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.

11.4 Fixtures. The security agreement described above covers as-extracted collateral and goods which are or are to become fixtures, and this Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing from the date of its recording, in accordance with

Section 55-9-502 of the Code. In that connection, the addresses of Mortgagor as debtor and Mortgagee as secured party are as stated above, and the address of Mortgagee is also the address from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained by an interested party.

12. Assignment of Rents. If Mortgagor, as a lessor, enters into any leases of the Property, the assignment contained under Section 1.5 shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and specifically at any time before or after foreclosure Mortgagee shall be entitled, upon the occurrence of a Default and the continuation of such Default beyond any applicable cure period, to all business, rents, income and other benefits from the Property or from any business or other activity conducted thereon, described in Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of such property. Mortgagor further grants to Mortgagee the right (a) to enter upon and take possession of the Property for the purpose of collecting the rents, income and other benefits, (b) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any tenant defaulting in the payment of rents to Mortgagee, (c) to let all or any part of the Property, and (d) to apply rent, income, maintenance fees, and other benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Secured Obligations. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full and Mortgagee shall have no further obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities, the execution of this Mortgage constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Property by Mortgagee pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure has been instituted. Neither the exercise of any rights under this Section 12 by Mortgagee nor the application of any such rents, income or other benefits to the Secured Obligations shall cure or waive any default or notice of default or invalidate any act done pursuant to this Mortgage or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.

It is understood and agreed that neither the foregoing assignment of rents and profits to Mortgagee nor the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies shall be deemed to constitute Mortgagee a “Mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion of the Property, unless and until Mortgagee, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession. The appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Mortgagee or by agreement with Mortgagor, or the entering into possession of all or any part of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Mortgagee a Mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion of the Property.

Mortgagor shall apply the rents and profits to the payment of all necessary and reasonable operating costs and expenses of the Property, debt service on the Secured Obligations, and a reasonable reserve for futures expenses, repairs and replacements for the Property, before using the rents and profits for Mortgagor’s personal use or any other purpose not for the direct benefit of the Property.

13. Mechanic’s and Other Liens. Mortgagor shall not permit or suffer any mechanic’s, laborer’s, or materialman’s statutory or other lien (other than any lien for taxes not yet due) to be created upon the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances; provided, however, that unless

the nonpayment of any such mechanic’s or other lien may create a forfeiture of any part of the Property, Mortgagor may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any assessed lien, and pending such contest, Mortgagor shall provide security in form and amount deemed satisfactory by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion to be adequate to cover the payment of such lien with interest, penalties and costs.

14. Mortgagee’s Performance of Defaults. If Mortgagor defaults in the payment of any assessment or tax, encumbrance or other Imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance under this Mortgage, or in the performance or observation of any other covenant, condition or term of this Mortgage or any of the other Transaction Documents, to preserve its interest in the Property, Mortgagee may perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and all costs and expenses incurred or paid by Mortgagee in that connection shall become due and payable immediately. The amounts so incurred or paid by Mortgagee, together with interest at the Funding Rate prescribed in the Facility Agreement from the date incurred until paid by Mortgagor, shall be added to the Secured Obligations. Mortgagee is empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term.

15. Events of Default. The term “Default,” wherever used in this Mortgage, shall mean any one or more of the following events:

15.1 Facility Agreement “Default.” The occurrence of any Event of Default specified in the Facility Agreement.

15.2 Abandonment or Taking of Property. If Mortgagor abandons all or any material part of the Property or all or any material part of the Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority or any other authority by the laws of the State of New Mexico or the United States of America to so damage or take, and any transfer by private sale in lieu of such taking), either temporarily for a period in excess of fourteen (14) days or permanently, provided that such damage or taking materially impairs Mortgagee’s security under this Mortgage and the proceeds, if any, from such damage or condemnation, which Mortgagor shall apply to the repair or restoration of the Property, are inadequate to repair or restore the Property such that Mortgagee’s security is not materially impaired.

16. Remedies; Acceleration of Maturity; Mortgagee’s Power of Enforcement.

16.1 Acceleration of Indebtedness. If a Default occurs, and subject to any obligations of Mortgagee to deliver or give notice of a Default in accordance with applicable laws and the terms of this Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents, Mortgagee may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be forthwith due and payable (subject to any applicable limitation in the Facility Agreement), and upon such declaration such Secured Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without demand or notice.

16.2 Right of Foreclosure. Mortgagee shall have the following powers concerning enforcement of this Mortgage:

16.2.1 Time is of the essence of this Mortgage.

16.2.2 If a Default occurs, Mortgagee may, either with or without entry or taking possession or otherwise, and without regard to whether or not the Secured Obligations shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee later to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any lawful action or proceeding to enforce payment and performance of any or all of the Secured Obligations or the performance of the terms of the Transaction Documents or any other right; to foreclose this Mortgage in the manner provided by law of the State of New Mexico applicable to the foreclosure of mortgages on real property and, subject to Mortgagee’s right of redemption (as reduced herein), to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Property pursuant to the laws of the State of New Mexico or under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction; and Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, expressly, costs incurred for services of paralegals and for computer-assisted legal research) in such amount as shall be awarded by the court; and to pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in equity.

16.3 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. If a Default occurs, Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies and rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect within the State of New Mexico.

16.4 Foreclosure; Expense of Litigation. In the event of foreclosure of the lien, there shall be allowed and included as additional Secured Obligations, all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee for reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, expressly, costs of services of paralegals), appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or 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 title as Mortgagee may deem reasonably advisable either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property. All such expenditures and expenses and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of said premises and the maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage, including the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by Mortgagee in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Mortgage, the Transaction Documents or the Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in the preparations for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor, with interest at the Funding Rate specified in the Facility Agreement, and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

16.5 Reduction in Redemption Period. If this Mortgage is foreclosued, If this Mortgage is foreclosed, the redemption period shall be on (1) month in lieu of nine (9) months.

17. Mortgagee’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. The following provisions shall prescribe Mortgagee’s rights, in addition to those available at law and in equity, to take possession and operate the Property and apply income from the Property:

17.1 Possession of Property. If a Default occurs, (a) Mortgagor, on Mortgagee’s demand after Mortgagee’s compliance with applicable laws, shall surrender to Mortgagee the actual possession and, to the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee itself, or such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter, and take possession of all of the Property, and may exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly from and may have joint access with Mortgagor to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor; and (b) Mortgagor will pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee on Mortgagee’s entry into possession, or to any receiver appointed to collect the rents, income and other benefits of the Property, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Mortgagor with Mortgagee’s consent, and upon default in any such payment will vacate and surrender possession of such part of the Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver and, in default, Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

17.2 Mortgagee’s Action to Gain Possession. If Mortgagor for any reason fails to surrender or deliver the Property after Mortgagee’s demand, Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of the Property to Mortgagee. Mortgagor specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Mortgagee, its attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensations shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and bear interest at the Funding Rate specified in the Facility Agreement.

17.3 Mortgagee’s Property Rights. Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Mortgagee may control, hold, operate, possess or use the Property, and, from time to time, conduct its business, and, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion:

17.3.1 Make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements to the Property and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property;

17.3.2 Insure or keep the Property insured;

17.3.3 Manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor in its name or otherwise with respect to the same; and

17.3.4 Enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers granted to Mortgagee, all as Mortgagee from time to time may determine; and Mortgagee may collect and receive all the rents, income and other benefits, including those past due as well as those later accruing; and shall apply the monies so received by Mortgagee in such priority as Mortgagee may determine to (a) the payment of rent or any other tenant charges; (b) the payment of Secured Obligations which are due and payable; (c) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due; (d) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other proper charges upon the Property; (e) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Mortgagee; and (f) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage.

17.4 Return of Property to Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall surrender possession of the Property to Mortgagor only when all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full and all defaults fully cured and Mortgagee shall have no further obligations in respect of either or both of the Credit Facilities. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Default shall occur and be continuing.

18. Purchase by Mortgagee. Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Property and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability.

19. Application of Indebtedness Toward Purchase Price. Upon any such foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may, if permitted by law, and after allowing for costs and expenses of the sale, compensation and other charges in paying the purchase price, apply any or all of the Secured Obligations, in lieu of cash, to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable.

20. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, and Extension Laws. Subject to Mortgagor’s right of redemption (as reduced herein), Mortgagor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that if a Default occurs and is existing, neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up a claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay or extension laws now or later in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Property or the final and absolute putting into possession, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser, and Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, waives, to the fullest extent that it may do lawfully, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets, comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien and agrees that Mortgagee, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Property in part or as an entirety.

21. Receiver. If a Default occurs, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, may apply to or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits and apply them as the court may direct.

22. Suits to Protect the Property. Mortgagee shall have the power and authority, but shall have no obligation, to institute and maintain any suits or proceedings as Mortgagee may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of this Mortgage; (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property; and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security or be otherwise prejudicial to Mortgagee’s interest.

23. Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding affecting Mortgagor or any guarantor, obligor, co-maker or endorser of any of Mortgagor’s obligations, its

creditors or its property, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim or other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Mortgagor under this Mortgage, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Mortgagor after such date.

24. Mortgagor to Pay Upon Default; Application of Monies by Mortgagee.

24.1 Collection of Indebtedness. If there is an existing Default, then upon Mortgagee’s demand, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee the whole of the Secured Obligations so demanded; and if Mortgagor fails to pay the same upon such demand, Mortgagee shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against Mortgagor for the whole amount so due and unpaid together with costs and expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of Mortgagee’s agents, attorneys (including, expressly, costs of services of paralegals) and other representatives, either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage and the right of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking, possession or foreclosure sale, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien.

24.2 Deficiency on Foreclosure. In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Property and of the application of the proceeds of sale towards payment of the Secured Obligations, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment from Mortgagor of all amounts then remaining due and unpaid and to recover judgment against Mortgagor for any portion remaining unpaid, with interest, if and to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of New Mexico. If permitted by applicable law, all such deficiency amounts shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate specified in the Facility Agreement before and after the entry of any judgment. In addition, Mortgagee shall be entitled to recovery of its costs in connection with such proceedings, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, expressly, costs of services of paralegals). This provision shall survive any foreclosure or sale of the Property or the extinguishment of the lien.

24.3 Nonwaiver of Lien. Mortgagor hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any such judgment by Mortgagee and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Property or any other property shall in any way affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Property or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage.

24.4 Application of Funds Collected. Any monies collected or received by Mortgagee shall be applied to the payment of compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Mortgagee, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the payment of the balance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Facility Agreement.

24.5 Application of Funds Collected to Mortgagor’s Obligations. If a Default

occurs, Mortgagee shall have the right, in its discretion, to apply sums deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee for the payment of taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, and any other amounts to the payment of the Secured Obligations.

25. Delay or Omission No Waiver. No delay or omission of Mortgagee or any holder of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Default or to constitute acquiescence. Every right, power and remedy given to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee.

26. No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Default shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Default. If Mortgagee grants forbearance or any extension of time for the payment of any Secured Obligations, takes other or additional security for the payments, waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Transaction Document, releases any part of the Property from the lien of this Mortgage or any other Transaction Document, consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the land, consents to the granting of any easement on the land, or makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Mortgage or subordinating the lien or any change of this Mortgage, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage or otherwise of Mortgagor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any maker, obligor, co-signor, surety or guarantor. No such act or omission shall preclude Mortgagee from exercising any right, power or privilege granted to Mortgagee or intended to be granted in case of any Default then existing or of any subsequent Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Mortgagee, shall the lien of this Mortgage be altered except to the extent of any release. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Property, Mortgagee without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Secured Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions of this Mortgage, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties and without in any way releasing or discharging any of Mortgagor’s liabilities or undertakings.

27. Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Mortgagee proceeds to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings are discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings result in a final determination adverse to Mortgagee, then and in every such case, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

28. Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee by the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Transaction Document or otherwise executed in connection with the Secured Obligations is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent to any other right, power and remedy now or later existing at law or in equity or given under the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage or any other Transaction Document.

29. Interest After Default. If a Default occurs, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Facility Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents shall bear interest in accordance with the Facility Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

30. Legal Representatives, Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Mortgage, whenever one of the parties is named in this Mortgage, the successors and assigns of such party shall be included and all covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Mortgage, by or on behalf of Mortgagor or Mortgagee shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. In the event Mortgagor is composed of more than one party, the obligations arising under this Mortgage, are the joint and several obligations of each such party.

31. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice, order, instruction, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Mortgage shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person or on the next Business Day after being sent by facsimile transmission or other electronic means, or upon receipt of notice sent by overnight mail or certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth below.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE MORTGAGOR AND THE MORTGAGEE WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES, OBLIGATIONS, OR DUTIES HEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE MORTGAGOR AND THE MORTGAGEE WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.

otherwise affecting Mortgagor’s title to the Property or the Property; and (e) any matter for which Mortgagee is entitled to notice pursuant to any Transaction Document.

39. Attorneys’ Fees. Without limiting any other provision contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees to pay all costs of Mortgagee incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage or the taking of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including, expressly, costs of services of paralegals) whether or not suit is commenced, and including specifically fees incurred in connection with any appellate, bankruptcy, deficiency, or any other litigation proceedings, all of which sums shall be secured by this Mortgage. If a suit is commenced by the parties concerning enforcement of or the parties’ rights and obligations under this Mortgage, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to recover fees and costs as described in this Section.

No payment by Mortgagor or receipt by Mortgagee of a lesser amount than any payments then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest payment falling due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or draft, or any memorandum or letter accompanying any check, draft or payment be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction. Mortgagee may accept any such check, draft, or payment without prejudice to Mortgagee’s right to recover any balance due or pursue any other of Mortgagee’s remedies.
