AMENDED AND RESTATED

12% CONVERTIBLE NOTE

Due December 31, 2014

No: 2013 CN - 01	February 28, 2014
US$ 1,155,000.00

For value received, Circle Star Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to [name], [address] (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $1,155,000.00, on December 31, 2014 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), unless payable earlier under the terms set forth in Section 1.

This 12% Convertible Note, due December 31, 2014 (this “Note”), is one of an authorized issue of Notes each designated as “12% Convertible Note, due December 31, 2014” (collectively, the “Notes”), replaces and supersedes the 10% Convertible Note, due February 8, 2013, and is issued subject to an Amended and Restated Inter-Creditor Agreement (the “Inter-Creditor Agreement”) made effective as of February 28, 2014, between the Company and each Holder of Notes. The Inter-Creditor Agreement specifies certain terms and conditions and the rights of the registered Holders of the Notes, and are incorporated by reference in this Note and to each of which the Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Inter-Creditor Agreement. To the extent there is any discrepancy between this Note and the Inter-Creditor Agreement, the terms of the Inter-Creditor Agreement shall prevail.

Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note due December 31, 2014 - Page 1 of 10

The Inter-Creditor Agreement contains provisions for the holding of meetings of registered Holders of the Notes issued and the making of resolutions at such meetings and the creation of instruments in writing signed by the registered holders of a specified majority of Notes issued and outstanding under the terms of the Inter-Creditor Agreement. Such resolutions and instruments will be binding on and may affect the rights and entitlements of all holders of the Notes, subject to the provisions of the Inter-Creditor Agreement.

This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions.

1. Maturity and Interest. Unless converted as provided in Section 2 or payable earlier at the election of the Holder, this Note will automatically mature and be due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date or, at the election of the Holder, on the earlier of (i) the closing of a financing transaction by the Company for aggregate proceeds in excess of $5,000,000, which excess amount shall be applied to the principal amount at the election of the Holder of the Note (based on the ratio of the Holder’s Principal Amount relative to the aggregate Principal Amount of all Notes); (ii) the sale of JHE Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, wholly-owned by the Company (“JHE”); (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of JHE; or (iv) an Event of Default (as defined herein). The events described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are each a “Triggering Event” and the Company agrees to provide each Note holder notice of a Triggering Event within five (5) calendar days.

A partial sale of JHE or JHE’s assets shall not be deemed to be a Triggering Event so long as the Company will utilize no less than seventy percent (70%) of the proceeds from such partial sale transaction to pay the principal amount and unpaid outstanding interest of the Notes on closing of such transaction.

Interest shall accrue from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum. Any payments made to this Note shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the principal balance of this Note.

The principal amount and Interest will be payable in lawful money of United States at the address of the Holder.

2. Conversion; Payment; Etc.

(a) This Note shall be convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), and at the Holder’s option accrued interest, on (i) the Stated Maturity Date or (ii) any Triggering Event at a conversion price of $0.75 per Common Share.

(b) The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided in this Section 2(b):

(i) If the Company at any time divides the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares (whether pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise), and conversely, if the outstanding shares of its Common

Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note due December 31, 2014 - Page 2 of 10

Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such division or combination shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the reduction or increase in the value of each such common share.

(ii) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Company’s Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Note and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets as would have been issued or delivered to Holder if Holder had exercised this Note and had received such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase.

(c) No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note and the deliveries required pursuant to this Section 2 in connection with such conversion, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Holder shall convert this Note or any portion thereof, if as a result of such conversion the holder would then become a “beneficial

Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note due December 31, 2014 - Page 3 of 10

owner” (as determined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 9.99% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. For greater certainty, the Note shall not be convertible by the Holder to the extent that, if, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder of such securities, together with its affiliates, would in aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Company which is 9.99% or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The provisions of this paragraph may be waived by the Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(d) Payment of Interest on Conversion. Upon conversion of the entire principal amount of this Note into the Company’s capital stock, any interest accrued on this Note that is not by reason of Section 2 hereof simultaneously converted into Common Stock shall be immediately paid to the Holder.

(e) Payment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder applied to principal. This Note may be prepaid at any time without the prior written consent of the Holder.

3. Event of Default. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” in respect of the Notes:

(a) failure to pay principal on any of the Notes when due;

(b) failure to pay interest on any of the Notes when due if such failure continues for a period of five (5) Business Days;

(c) breach of or failure to observe or perform any other covenant or condition contained in any Notes, the Amended and Restated Inter-Creditor Agreement, Warrants, Deed of Trust, Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of even date herewith;

(d) proceedings are commenced for the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or JHE, unless the Company or JHE, as applicable, in good faith actively and diligently contests such proceedings, decree, order or approval, resulting in a dismissal or stay thereof within sixty (60) days of commencement;

(e) a decree or order of a court of competent jurisdiction is entered adjudging the Company or JHE, as applicable, to be bankrupt or insolvent, or a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of or in respect of the Company or JHE, as applicable, is approved under applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors;

Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note due December 31, 2014 - Page 4 of 10

(f) the Company or JHE makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or petitions or applies to any court or tribunal for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or commences for itself or acquiesces in any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt law or statute or any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or trusteeship; and

(g) a resolution is passed for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company or JHE, as applicable.

The Holder shall have the right, at its sole option, to declare this Note immediately due and payable irrespective of the Maturity Date specified herein, upon an Event of Default.

4. Change of Control. The Holder shall have the right, at its sole option, to declare this Note immediately due and payable irrespective of the Maturity Date specified herein, ten business days prior to the effective date of any Change of Control Transaction undertaken without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent the Holder shall have no obligation to give. A “Change of Control Transaction” means (i) any sale of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company; (ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or acquisition transaction involving the Company or any material subsidiary of the Company; (iii) any sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or any material subsidiary of the Company; or (iv) any similar transaction involving the issuance, cancellation or restructuring of equity securities of the Company unless, following the completion of such transaction, the then existing shareholders of Company own or control, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power or liquidation rights of Company or the successor of such merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange. In the event of a contemplated Change of Control Transaction, the Company shall provide the Holder at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the effective date of any Change of Control Transaction, except as may otherwise be prohibited by law.

5. Transfer; Successors and Assigns.

(a) The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. This Note may be transferred, or divided into two or more Notes of smaller denomination, subject to the following conditions. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Note of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of the proposed transfer.

Page 4

SAC 442418896v5

(a) All of the Mortgaged Properties are owned of record by Grantor free and clear of any Lien other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, Grantor has defensible title to each of the Mortgaged Properties. Except for Permitted Encumbrances or as approved by Holder, Grantor’s interest in the Mortgaged Properties is not subject to any mineral reservations, including, without limitation, overriding royalty interests. Grantor has the exclusive right to sell and grant Liens over the Mortgaged Properties. To Grantor’s knowledge, there are no unrecorded documents or agreements that could limit or impair (i) Grantor’s ability to grant the Liens contemplated by the Security Documents or (ii) the Holder’s ability to enforce those Liens pursuant to the Security Documents. Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, Grantor has all beneficial right, title and interest in and to the Net Revenue Interest in all production from or allocable to Grantor’s interest in the Mortgaged Properties (including each Lease).

(b) All Leases and material agreements comprising the Mortgaged Properties and referenced in the title opinions and/or reports or other title materials delivered to Holder are valid, existing and in full force and effect, and no Material default (or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a Material default) exists under any Lease.

(c) Except for the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit A, (i) Grantor owns no other direct or indirect interest of any kind in Hydrocarbons attributable to the Mortgaged Properties, including any Equity Interests, Equity Equivalents, or calls or options to purchase, and (ii) Grantor has no right to acquire any interest of the type described in the preceding clause (i).

(d) Grantor’s Working Interest is not more than, and its Net Revenue Interest is not less than, the percentages set forth on Exhibit A for each of the Mortgaged Properties.

(e) All rents, royalties and other payments due and payable by Grantor under each of the Mortgaged Properties have been properly and timely paid and all ad valorem, property, oil and gas production, excise and severance Taxes payable by Grantor have been duly paid.

2.2 All producing wells located on the Mortgaged Properties or properties unitized therewith have been legally drilled or reworked and are not deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by applicable Laws, rules and regulations, and that such wells are in fact bottomed under and are producing from lands described in said Exhibit A or lands unitized therewith; and Grantor does hereby bind itself, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns to forever warrant and defend the title to the mortgaged properties unto Trustee, his successors and assigns, against the claims of all persons whomsoever claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. Any additional rights, title, or interest which Grantor may hereafter acquire or become entitled to in the properties aforesaid or in the oil, gas or other minerals in and under or produced therefrom shall inure to the benefit of this trust, the same as if expressly described and conveyed herein.

Page 5

SAC 442418896v5

2.3 So long as the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof remains unpaid, Grantor covenants and agrees with Beneficiary as follows:

(a) That Grantor will make prompt payment of the Note and of all installments of principal and interest thereon as the same become due, and also of all other Secured Indebtedness.

(b) That Grantor will continuously maintain Grantor’s existence as a limited liability company with full power to own and operate the Mortgaged Properties and, if required by Law, Grantor’s right to do business in each State where any part of the Mortgaged Properties is situated, and that Grantor will promptly pay, if applicable, all income, franchise and other Taxes owing by Grantor and any stamp, documentary or recording Taxes which may be required to be paid with respect to this Mortgage or any other instrument evidencing or securing any of the Secured Indebtedness, subject to the right to contest any Taxes as provided in the Note.

(c) That Grantor will cause its interests in the oil, gas, Hydrocarbons and/or other mineral leases included in or relating to the Mortgaged Properties (herein called “Subject Leases”) to be maintained and operated for the production of Hydrocarbons in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with sound field practices and all applicable federal, state and local Laws, rules and regulations and will not allow any of Subject Leases to be surrendered, abandoned, or voluntarily terminated or impaired in any manner.

(d) That Grantor will cause (or, with respect to Properties not operated by Grantor, will Cause the Operator to cause) all debts and liabilities of any character incurred in the operation, maintenance or development of the Mortgaged Properties (including, without limitation, all costs of the administration and development of each Subject Lease, and all leasehold costs attributable thereto, including, but not by way of limitation, all costs of completing, processing, storing, transporting and marketing Hydrocarbons which are allocated as leasehold expenses by customary industry account) to be paid punctually when due.

(e) That Grantor will cause (or, with respect to Properties not operated by Grantor, will Cause the Operator to cause) the Mortgaged Properties and all related machinery, pipelines, equipment, improvements and personal property of any kind now or hereafter used or obtained in connection with the operation thereof to be kept in safe, good and effective operating condition and all necessary repairs, replacements, additions and improvements thereto to be made.

(f) That Grantor will observe and comply with all of the terms and provisions, express or implied, of the Subject Leases and assignments constituting a part of the Mortgaged Properties.

(g) That Grantor will observe and comply with all of the terms and provisions of all easements, licenses, franchises, permits and contracts (both existing and future) which are part of the Mortgaged Properties or which are incident to the operation of any of the Mortgaged Properties. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor agrees to fully comply with all covenants and make timely payments of all amounts payable under Hydrocarbons purchase and processing contracts held by Grantor and also to fully perform all obligations and covenants of the seller under all Hydrocarbons sales and processing contracts held by Grantor.

(h) That if the validity or priority of this Mortgage or of any right, titles, Liens or interests created or evidenced hereby with respect to the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly or if any legal proceedings are instituted against Grantor with respect thereto, Grantor will give written notice thereof to Beneficiary promptly and, at Grantor’s own cost and expense, Grantor will diligently endeavor to cure any defect that may be developed or claimed, and will take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, the employment of counsel acceptable to Beneficiary, the prosecution or defense of litigation and the release or discharge of all adverse claims. If Grantor fails or refuses to take such action, Trustee and Beneficiary, or any of them (whether or not named as parties to legal proceedings with respect thereto), are hereby authorized and empowered to take such additional steps as in their judgment and discretion may be necessary or proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of any adverse claims made with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and all expenses so incurred of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation owing by Grantor and shall bear interest at the Contract Rate from the date of expenditure until paid and shall be secured by the Lien evidenced by this Mortgage and the party incurring such expenses shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

(i) That Grantor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, suffer or permit any Lien other than Permitted Encumbrances (as defined herein or described in Exhibit A hereto) to be hereafter claimed or created on any of the Mortgaged Properties, and should a Lien other than Permitted Encumbrances become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Mortgaged Properties without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Grantor will cause such Lien to be promptly discharged.

(j) That Grantor will pay all Taxes and assessments of every kind and character charged, levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Properties, or any part thereof, and all franchise Taxes, production, severance or other similar Taxes or charges, before any such Taxes and assessments shall become delinquent; but Grantor shall have the right to contest any such Tax in good faith, and while any such contest is pending shall not be in default hereunder; and, in the event Grantor should fail or refuse to pay or discharge the same, the holder of said indebtedness hereunder shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay off said charges against said property and shall be subrogated to the rights, Liens and equities thereof, and the amount so paid, together with interest at the same rate as is provided in the Note for interest on past due principal from

Page 7

SAC 442418896v5

the date of payment, shall be added to said indebtedness and shall be part of the Secured Indebtedness.

(k) That none of the buildings, improvements and personal property constituting portions of the Mortgaged Properties will be removed or destroyed if to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect on the condition or operation of the Mortgaged Properties or on the business or financial condition of Grantor.

(l) That Grantor will keep accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP in which full, true and correct entries shall be promptly made as to all operations on the Mortgaged Properties, and all such books and records shall at all times during reasonable business hours be subject to inspection by Holder and its duly accredited representatives and if, and as often as, reasonably requested by Holder, and Grantor shall make reports of such income in such form as Holder prescribes setting out full data as to production and revenues from the Mortgaged Properties.

(m) That Grantor will, on request of Beneficiary, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Mortgage, the Note, or other documents executed in connection herewith or in the execution or acknowledgment of any thereof, and will execute and deliver any and all additional instruments as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary to correct such defect, error or omission or to identify any additional properties which are or become subject to this Mortgage and will execute, acknowledge and deliver such further assurances and instruments as shall be, in the opinion of Beneficiary, necessary or proper to convey and assign to Trustee all of the Mortgaged Properties herein conveyed or assigned, or intended so to be.

(n) That Grantor will indemnify and hold harmless Trustee and Beneficiary from and against all claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action on account of any act performed or omitted to be performed hereunder or on account of any transaction arising out of or in any way connected with the Mortgaged Properties or with this Mortgage or any of the Secured Indebtedness, save and except for their gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach by Beneficiary of the Security Documents or any document or instruments executed in connection with the Security Documents.

(o) That Grantor will proceed with reasonable diligence to correct any material defect in title to the Mortgaged Properties which, in the opinion of Beneficiary, constitutes a material defect that is found to exist after the execution and delivery of this instrument; and in this connection, should it be found after the execution and delivery of this instrument that there exists upon the Mortgaged Properties any Lien, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, equal or superior in rank to the Lien created by this instrument, or should any such Lien or encumbrance hereafter arise, Grantor will promptly discharge and remove any such Lien from said property.

(p) That Grantor will keep such part of the Mortgaged Properties as is of an insurable nature and of a character usually insured by persons operating similar properties insured with companies of recognized responsibility satisfactory to Beneficiary against

loss or damage by fire and against other hazards customarily insured against and in such amounts as provided in and as otherwise required under the Note.

(q) That Grantor will promptly pay its share of all costs and expenses incurred under any joint operating agreement affecting the Mortgaged Properties or any portion thereof and will furnish Beneficiary as and when requested full information as to the status of any joint account maintained with others under any such operating agreement.

(r) That Grantor will permit Beneficiary and its agents, representatives and employees, at all times, to go upon, examine, inspect and remain on the Mortgaged Properties, and to go upon the derrick floor of any well at any time drilled or being drilled thereon, provided that such examination or inspection shall be at the risk of Beneficiary and its agents, representatives and employees and shall not unreasonably interfere with the business of Grantor or any operator or the operations on the Mortgaged Properties, and will furnish to Beneficiary all pertinent information in regard to the development and operation of the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof in accordance with the terms of the Note.

(s) That Beneficiary at all times shall have the right to release any part of the property now or hereafter subject to the Lien hereof or any part of the proceeds of production or other income herein or hereafter assigned or pledged or any other security it now has or may hereafter have securing said indebtedness, without releasing any other part of said property, proceeds or income, and without affecting the Lien hereof as to the part or parts thereof not so released, or the right to receive future proceeds and income.

(t) That, promptly upon receipt of any written request from Beneficiary, Grantor will furnish and deliver, pursuant to such request, all title materials in the possession of Grantor or to which Grantor has access, including all title opinions and abstracts of title prepared by competent abstractors and covering title to the real property hereby mortgaged. Should Grantor fail to furnish such title opinions and abstracts upon such request, Beneficiary may proceed to obtain such title materials, and any and all costs so incurred shall be added to and included in the indebtedness secured hereby and shall be payable by Grantor upon demand, the obligation for such payment being secured by all Liens and remedies granted in this Mortgage. Any abstracts furnished by Grantor or so acquired by Beneficiary shall be and constitute a part of the Mortgaged Properties, as above defined.

(u) That Grantor will, if requested by Beneficiary, furnish Beneficiary any information or data possessed by Grantor with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and in the case of the Subject Leases full information, including independent engineering reports and seismic data and interpretation, shall be furnished with regard to the wells drilled or reworked or drilling or reworking operations being conducted thereon, including, without limitation, electrical logs, core analyses and well pressure reports; provided, that Grantor shall not be obligated to disclose information subject to a valid and binding confidentiality agreement with a third party without first obtaining the consent of such third party, and Grantor, to the extent requested by Beneficiary, will use its reasonable efforts to obtain such consent.

Page 9

SAC 442418896v5

(v) That Grantor shall make available to Beneficiary, or its engineers, attorneys or representatives, at any time requested, its complete files and contracts on the properties included in this instrument and the wells, pipelines and other property located thereon, or regarding the operations of (or the production from) the Mortgaged Properties, and in the event Beneficiary or Trustee should take possession of the Mortgaged Properties under this Mortgage, Beneficiary shall be entitled to possession of all such files and contracts including seismic data and interpretation provided that the possession and disclosure of such seismic data and interpretation information to Beneficiary does not violate any third party license, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement. Should this Mortgage be foreclosed (howsoever such foreclosure may be effected), the purchaser at the foreclosure sale shall be entitled to all such files other than those restricted by a third party license, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement.

(w) That Grantor will not enter into any new operating agreement or any material amendment of any existing operating agreement affecting the Mortgaged Properties without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

(x) That Grantor will, promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, pay all costs and expenses heretofore or hereafter incurred by Beneficiary for legal, engineering or geological services rendered to it in connection with the making of the initial or any future loan to Grantor secured in whole or in part by the Lien hereof and/or in the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder.

(y) That Grantor will continuously maintain in good condition and operate, or cause to be maintained and operated, in a good and workmanlike manner any pipelines and pipeline systems owned by Grantor and included in the Mortgaged Properties in accordance with the valid rules and regulations of duly constituted authorities.

2.4 Grantor will act as a Prudent Operator in exercising all rights and remedies available to Grantor and will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the owner or owners of the working interest in the Mortgaged Properties to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein. With respect to those Subject Leases which are being operated by operators other than grantor, grantor shall not be obligated itself to perform any undertakings contemplated by the covenants and agreements contained herein which are performable only by such operators and are beyond the control of grantor; however, Grantor will act as a Prudent Operator in taking all reasonable actions available to Grantor under any such operating agreement or otherwise to bring about the performance of any such undertakings required to be performed by such operators.

2.5 Grantor agrees that, if Grantor fails to perform any act or to take any action which hereunder Grantor is required to perform or take or to pay any money which hereunder Grantor is required to pay, Beneficiary, in Grantor’s name or its own name, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Beneficiary and any money so paid by Beneficiary shall be a part of the Obligations under the Note owing by Grantor and shall bear interest from the date of making such payment until paid at the Contract Rate and shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Lien evidenced by this Mortgage and by any other

Page 10

SAC 442418896v5

instrument securing the Secured Indebtedness, and Beneficiary, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment.

ARTICLE III.

Assignment of Production, Accounts,

Contract Rights and Proceeds

3.1 To facilitate the discharge of all such indebtedness and as cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Grantor hereby BARGAINS, SELLS, TRANSFERS, ASSIGNS, SETS OVER and DELIVERS to the Holder, its successors and assigns, all of the following which shall be applied by Holder as provided herein and in the Note:

(a) All oil, gas, casinghead gas, distillate and other minerals, and the proceeds therefrom, produced and to be produced from the interests of Grantor in the oil, gas and mineral leases, properties, processing plants and interests now or hereafter constituting a part of the Mortgaged Properties SAVE AND EXCEPT the Excluded Interests (as hereinafter defined), from and after the Effective Date (as hereafter defined) and Grantor hereby authorizes and empowers said Holder to demand, collect and receive said oil, gas, casinghead gas, distillate and other minerals, and the proceeds therefrom, produced and to be produced from the interests of Grantor in said Mortgaged Properties, and to execute any release, receipt, division order, transfer order and relinquishment or other instrument that may be required or necessary to collect and receive such production or the proceeds therefrom and Grantor hereby authorizes and directs all pipeline companies, gathering companies and others purchasing oil, gas or other mineral production from said properties or having in their possession any production from said properties or the proceeds therefrom, to pay and deliver to the Holder all such production or proceeds therefrom accruing. Grantor agrees that all division orders, transfer orders, receipts and other instruments which the Holder may from time to time execute and deliver for the purpose of collecting or receipting for such production or the proceeds therefrom may be relied upon in all respects, and that the same shall be binding upon Grantor, and Grantor’s successors and assigns. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate instruments, including transfer and division orders, which may be required by the Holder in connection with the receipt by the Holder of such production or the proceeds therefrom and to indemnify and keep and hold the Holder free and harmless from all parties whomsoever having or claiming an adverse interest in said leases, properties and interests and the production and proceeds therefrom, and in this respect agrees to pay all expenses, costs, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees that may be incurred by the Holder as to any of said matters.

(b) All amounts or proceeds hereafter payable to or to become payable to Grantor or to which Grantor is entitled under all gas sales contracts, all oil, distillate or condensate sales contracts, all gas transportation contracts, and all gas processing contracts relating to or now or hereafter to become a part of the Mortgaged Properties SAVE AND EXCEPT the Excluded Interests (as hereinafter defined).

Page 11

SAC 442418896v5

(c) All amounts, sums, revenues and income which become payable to Grantor from any of the Mortgaged Properties (including after-acquired properties) or under any contract, present or future, relating to any gas pipeline system and processing plant or unit now or hereafter constituting a part of the Mortgaged Properties SAVE AND EXCEPT the Excluded Interests (as hereinafter defined).

Unless and until revoked by Holder, which Holder may do in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Note (including but not limited to Section 3), Holder grants to Grantor a license to receive and collect the revenues and proceeds attributable to such production (the “License”) but Holder, in accordance with such terms and conditions of the Note, shall have the right to terminate the Grantor’s license to collect such revenues and proceeds by sending to the purchasers of such production the letters in lieu of transfer orders executed by Grantor contemporaneously herewith. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs that all such pipeline companies, purchasers, transporters and other parties owing moneys to Grantor under contracts herein assigned, pay such amounts direct to the Holder without the necessary of further action on the part of Grantor. The Holder is authorized to collect, receive and receipt for all such amounts and no party making payment shall have any responsibility to see to the application of any funds paid to the Holder, but shall be fully protected in making such payment to the Holder under the assignments herein contained. Should the Holder bring suit against any third party for collection of any amounts or sums included within this assignment (and the Holder shall have the right to bring any such suit) it may sue either in its own name or in the name of Grantor. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the assignments herein contained are intended to be an absolute and irrevocable assignment and not merely a pledge of or creation of a security interest therein or assignment as additional security

The office where the records of Grantor with respect to the accounts and contracts rights concerning the Mortgaged Properties are kept is located at the address shown opposite the signature of Grantor to this Mortgage, and Grantor agrees that the place at which such records are kept will not be changed without the prior written notice to the Holder.

3.2 Independent of the foregoing provisions and authorities herein granted, but subject to the license granted in Section 3.1 above and the terms of the Note, Grantor agrees to execute and deliver any and all transfer orders, payment orders, division orders and other instruments that may be requested by the Holder or that may be required by any purchaser of the production from any of the Mortgaged Properties for the purpose of effectuating payment to the Holder of the proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales to the Holder. If under any existing sales agreements, other than division orders or transfer orders, any proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales are required to be paid by the purchaser to Grantor so that under such existing agreement payment of such proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales cannot be made to the Holder, Grantor’s interest in all proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales under such sales agreements and in all other proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales which for any reason may be paid to Grantor shall, when received by Grantor, constitute trust funds in Grantor’s hands and shall be immediately paid over to the Holder.

3.3 Grantor authorizes and empowers the Holder to receive, hold and collect all sums of money paid to the Holder in accordance with this assignment and to apply the same as is hereinafter provided, all without any liability or responsibility on the part of the Holder, save as to good faith in so receiving and applying said sums. All payments provided for in this

Page 12

SAC 442418896v5

assignment shall be paid promptly to the Holder, and applied pursuant to the terms of the Note. It is understood and agreed that should said payments provided for by this assignment be less than the sum or sums then due on said indebtedness, such sum or sums then due shall nevertheless be payable by Grantor in accordance with the provisions of the note or notes or other instrument or instruments evidencing said indebtedness and neither this assignment nor any provision herein contained shall in any manner be construed to affect the terms and provisions of said note or notes or other instrument or instruments. Likewise, neither this assignment nor any provision herein contained shall in any manner be construed to affect the lien, rights and remedies herein granted securing said indebtedness, nor Grantor’s liability therefor. The rights under this assignment are cumulative of the other rights, remedies and powers granted under this Mortgage and are cumulative of any other security which the Holder now holds or may hereafter hold to secure the payment of said indebtedness.

3.4 If a default has occurred under Section 6.1 and is continuing, should any person now or hereafter purchasing or taking oil, gas, other Hydrocarbons or other minerals attributed to the Mortgaged Properties fail to make payment promptly to the Holder of the hereby assigned proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales, the Holder shall have the right to make, or to require Grantor to make, a change of connection and the right to designate or approve the purchaser with whose facilities a new connection shall be made, without liability or responsibility in connection therewith, so long as ordinary care is used in making such designation, and Grantor agrees to pay to the Holder the amount of any proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales not promptly paid to the Holder by any person having responsibility for payment thereof; provided, however, Holder shall only require the change of purchaser if such change would not cause a breach of Grantor’s obligation to an existing purchaser under an existing contract as of the date hereof.

3.5 The Holder and its successors and assigns are hereby absolved from all liability for failure to enforce collection of the proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales and from all other responsibility in connection therewith, except the responsibility to account to Grantor for funds actually received. Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and the Trustee against any and all liabilities, actions, claims, judgments, costs, charges and attorneys’ fees by reason of the assertion that Trustee or Holder received with respect to the Mortgaged Properties or for Grantor’s account either before or after payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness funds from the production of oil, gas, other Hydrocarbons or other minerals claimed by third persons, and if Grantor fails to do so, the Holder and the Trustee shall each have the right to defend against any such claims or actions, employing attorneys of their own selection, and if not furnished with indemnity satisfactory to them, they shall have the right to compromise and adjust any such claims, actions and judgments, and in addition to the rights to be indemnified as herein provided, all amounts paid by the Holder or the Trustee in compromise, satisfaction or discharge of any such claim, action or judgment, and all court costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses of every character incurred by the Trustee or the Holder pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be part of the obligations under the Note owing by Grantor, shall bear interest from date of expenditure until paid at the rate specified by the Note, and shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Grantor to indemnify Holder for its willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach by Holder of the provisions of the Security Documents or any documents or instruments executed in connection with the security documents.

Page 13

SAC 442418896v5

3.6 Nothing herein contained shall detract from or limit the absolute obligation of Grantor to make prompt payment of the Note, of all amounts owing thereon, and of all amounts owing hereunder at the time and in the manner provided in the Note or provided herein, regardless of whether the proceeds herein assigned are sufficient to pay the same, and the rights under this assignment shall be cumulative of all other security of any and every character now or hereafter existing to secure the payment of the Note and all other Secured Indebtedness.

ARTICLE IV.

Waiver and Partial Release

4.1 Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time in writing:

(a) Waive compliance by Grantor with any covenant herein made by Grantor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing;

(b) Consent to Grantor’s doing any act which hereunder Grantor is prohibited from doing, or to Grantor’s failing to do any act which hereunder Grantor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in writing; or

(c) Release any part of the Mortgaged Properties, or any interest therein, or any proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales from the Lien of this Mortgage, without the joinder of Trustee.

No such act by Beneficiary shall in any way impair the rights of Beneficiary hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Beneficiary in such writing.

4.2 The Lien and other security rights of Beneficiary hereunder shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including but not limited to:

(a) Any forbearance, renewal, extension or modification (whether one or more) which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any Secured Indebtedness; or

(b) Any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant in respect of any item of the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any of the proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales; or

ARTICLE V.

Possession Until Default; Defeasance

5.1 Unless a default specified in Section 6.1 exists, Grantor shall retain full right to the Mortgaged Properties (except the proceeds of Hydrocarbon sales assigned under Section 3.1), subject, however, to all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage.

Page 14

SAC 442418896v5

5.2 If all of the Secured Indebtedness be paid as the same becomes due and payable and if the covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Mortgage are kept and performed, then and in that event only all rights under this Mortgage shall terminate and the properties hereby conveyed shall become wholly clear of the Liens, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, and such Liens shall be released by Beneficiary in due form at Grantor’s cost.

ARTICLE VI.

Remedies in Event of Default

6.1 The term “default” as used in this Mortgage shall mean the occurrence of an event of default under the Note.

6.2 If a default by Grantor under this Mortgage exists, the provisions of this Section 6.2 (and no other provision of this Mortgage) shall specify the effects of any such default, the remedies available to Beneficiary following any such default and any limitations on the exercise of such remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a default, all Secured Indebtedness in its entirety shall, at the option of Beneficiary and following two (2) Business Days prior written notice by Beneficiary (except in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency of Grantor, appointment of a receiver of Grantor, and similar defaults in which event no prior written notice by Beneficiary is required), become immediately due and payable without notice, presentation or demand of any kind including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, all of which are hereby waived, and the Liens evidenced hereby shall be subject to foreclosure in any manner provided for herein or provided for by Law as Beneficiary may elect.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a default and following notice required under subsection 6.2(a), if any such notice is required with respect to such default, Trustee, his successor or substitute, upon the written request of Beneficiary, shall be authorized and empowered and it shall be his special duty to sell the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof. Such sale may be at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, as Trustee may elect, at such place or places and otherwise in such manner and upon such notice as may be required by Law, or, in the absence of any such requirement as Trustee may deem appropriate.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a default and following notice required under subsection 6.2(a), if any such notice is required with respect to such default, Trustee, his successor or substitute, shall have the right and power to proceed by suit or suits in equity or at Law, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement of Grantor herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for foreclosure or the sale of the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. In the event Beneficiary shall request Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Properties or to proceed by suit as in this section provided, Beneficiary shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting and proceeding for any

Page 15

SAC 442418896v5

remedy available to Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon him; provided, however, that Trustee shall have the power to decline to follow any such direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken. If and to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Any foreclosure sale hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Beneficiary may request, and any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by Law.

(ii) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made by Beneficiary or by Trustee or any substitute appointed hereunder as to nonpayment of the Secured Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to all of said indebtedness having become due and payable, or as to the refusal, failure or inability to act of Trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Beneficiary or by such Trustee, substitute or successor, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited.

(iii) Trustee, his successor or substitute, may appoint or delegate to any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any foreclosure proceeding instituted by Trustee, but in the name and on behalf of Trustee, his successor or substitute.

(iv) It shall not be necessary for Trustee or any public officer acting under execution or order of the court to have physically present or constructively in his possession any of the Mortgaged Properties.

(v) Any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to judicial proceedings shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at Law or in equity, of Grantor of, in and to the premises and property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at Law and in equity, against Grantor, its successors or assigns, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the property sold from, through or under Grantor, its successors or assigns; nevertheless, Grantor, if requested by Trustee or Beneficiary so to do, shall join in the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers of the properties so sold.

(vi) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of Trustee, or of the officer making a sale under judicial proceedings, shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of Trustee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase price, or be in anywise answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

Page 16

SAC 442418896v5

(vii) The purchaser at any such sale shall not, nor shall his or its heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns be deemed to have, by reason of the acquisition of property or rights mortgaged hereunder, assumed any liability or obligation of any lessee or operator of the Mortgaged Properties, or any part thereof, arising by reason of any occurrence taking place prior to such sale.

(viii) After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple with special warranty of title, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided, and Grantor binds itself, its successors and assigns, to warrant and forever defend such title.

(ix) The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale shall exist and may be exercised in any manner provided by Law or herein from time to time and as many times as Beneficiary may deem necessary until all of the Mortgaged Properties have been duly sold and all Secured Indebtedness has been fully paid.

(d) Upon the occurrence of a default and following notice as required under subsection 6.2(a) if any notice is required with respect to such default, Trustee, his successors or substitute, is authorized and empowered, and it shall be his special duty at the request of Beneficiary, to enforce this trust and to sell the Mortgaged Properties which may be located in the State of Texas as an entirety or in parcels, as the acting Trustee may designate, at the courthouse of any county in the State of Texas in which a part of said Mortgaged Properties being sold may be situated at public auction to the highest bidder for cash between the hours 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday in any month after having given notice of such sale in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas now in force governing sales of real estate under powers of sale conferred by deed of trust. If the applicable statute should be hereafter amended to provide a different notice of sale applicable to sales of real estate under power of sale in a deed of trust, then Trustee may, in his sole discretion, give either the notice of sale now provided to be given under any applicable Laws or such notice as is required pursuant to applicable Law in effect at the time such notice is to be given. Any sale made by Trustee hereunder may be as an entirety or in such parcels as Beneficiary may request, and any sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale without further notice except as may be required by Law. After each sale, Trustee shall make to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale good and sufficient conveyances in the name of Grantor, conveying the property so sold to the purchaser or purchasers in fee simple with special warranty of title binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as herein provided. The power of sale granted herein shall not be exhausted by any sale held hereunder by Trustee or his substitute or successor, and such power of sale may be exercised from time to time and as many times as Beneficiary may deem necessary until all of the Mortgaged Properties have been duly sold and all Secured Indebtedness has been duly paid. Any

Page 17

SAC 442418896v5

such sale shall be a perpetual bar against Grantor, and Grantor’s heirs, legal representatives or successors in interest, as the case may be, as to the property sold.

(e) This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage as well as a deed of trust and may be foreclosed as to any of the properties covered hereby (including non-judicial foreclosure) in any manner permitted by the Laws of any state in which any part of the Mortgaged Properties is situated, and any foreclosure suit may be brought by Trustee or by Beneficiary with respect to property located in jurisdictions where a mortgage is utilized to grant Liens in real property. In addition to all other remedies herein provided for, Grantor agrees that after a default has occurred Trustee or Beneficiary shall as a matter of right be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers to be designated by Beneficiary for all or any part of the Mortgaged Properties, whether such receivership be incident to a proposed sale of such property or otherwise, and Grantor does hereby consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Trustee or Beneficiary, and agrees that such appointment shall in no manner affect the rights of Beneficiary under 3.1.

(f) The proceeds of any sale held by Trustee or any receiver or public officer in foreclosure of the Liens evidenced hereby shall be applied:

FIRST, to the payment of all necessary costs and expenses incident to such foreclosure sale (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), including but not limited to expenses of advertising, sale and conveyance and all court costs and charges of every character in the event foreclosed by it, and a reasonable fee to Trustee acting under the provisions of this Section 6.2 if foreclosed by power of sale as provided in said section, not exceeding the actual fees of Trustee.

SECOND, to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may elect, which shall be cumulative of Trustee’s fee hereinabove provided for and shall be due and payable whether the Lien of this Mortgage be foreclosed by sale or by judicial process; and

THIRD, the remainder, if any there shall be, shall be paid to Grantor or to Grantor’s representative, successors or assigns.

(g) Beneficiary shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale held by any Trustee or substitute or successor or by any receiver or public officer, and if Beneficiary purchases at any such sale Beneficiary shall have the right to credit upon the amount of the bid made therefor, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid, the Secured Indebtedness owing to Holder.

(h) All remedies herein expressly provided for are cumulative of any and all other remedies existing at Law or in equity, and Trustee and Beneficiary shall, in addition to the remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail themselves of all such other remedies as may now or hereafter exist at Law or in equity for the collection of said indebtedness and the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the Liens evidenced hereby, and the resort to any remedy provided for hereunder or provided for by Law shall

Page 18

SAC 442418896v5

not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate remedy or remedies.

(i) Beneficiary may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Beneficiary in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any action shall not in anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits or Liens evidenced by this instrument.

(j) To the full extent that Grantor may do so, Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any Law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor’s successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Properties, to the extent permitted by Law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured Indebtedness and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the Liens hereby created. If any Law referred to in this section and now in force, of which Grantor or Grantor’s successors might take advantage despite this section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such Law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this section.

(k) Grantor hereby grants unto Trustee or Beneficiary the powers of attorney to act for and on behalf of Grantor in all transactions of Grantor with any federal or state agency relating to any of the Mortgaged Properties. The foregoing power of attorney shall only be exercised if a default exists.

(l) If a default exists, Trustee and Beneficiary, or either of them, is authorized prior to the institution of, or during any, foreclosure proceedings only to enter upon the Mortgaged Properties, or any part thereof, and to exercise without interference from Grantor any and all rights which Grantor has with respect to the management, possession and operation of the Mortgaged Properties. Prior to any such foreclosure proceedings (but not after conclusion of same), all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character (including costs of unsuccessful workover operations or additional wells or dry holes) incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary in managing, operating and maintaining such Mortgaged Properties as provided herein, including, without limitation, costs of additional drilling and reworking, whether successful or unsuccessful, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Grantor and shall draw interest at the Contract Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Secured Indebtedness.

(m) If a default exists and Grantor should fail to comply with any of the covenants or obligations of Grantor hereunder, then, prior to any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Properties, Beneficiary or Trustee may perform the same for the account and at the expense of Grantor but shall not be obligated so to do, and any and all expenses incurred or paid in so doing shall be payable by Grantor to Beneficiary with interest at the Contract Rate, and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand, and shall be secured

Page 19

SAC 442418896v5

by and under this Mortgage, and the amount and nature of such expense and the time when paid shall be fully established by the affidavit of Beneficiary or any officer or agent thereof, or by the affidavit of any trustee acting hereunder; provided, however, that the exercise of the privileges granted in this paragraph shall in no way be considered or constitute a waiver of the right of Beneficiary upon the happening of a default hereunder to declare the Secured Indebtedness to be at once due and payable but is cumulative of such right and all other rights herein given.

ARTICLE VII.

Security Agreement

7.1 Without limiting any of the provisions of this instrument, Grantor (referred to in this article as “Debtor,” whether one or more), expressly GRANTS unto Beneficiary (referred to in this article as “Secured Party,” whether one or more), a security interest in all the Mortgaged Properties hereinabove described (including both those now and those hereafter existing) to the full extent that such properties may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code of the state or states where such properties are situated. The security interest granted hereby also covers and includes all contract rights, equipment, inventory, general intangibles and accounts with respect to said properties and all products and proceeds of said properties (said properties, contract rights, equipment, inventory, general intangibles, accounts, products and proceeds thereof being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral” for the purposes of this paragraph). Debtor covenants and agrees with secured party that:

(a) In addition to and cumulative of any other remedies granted in this instrument to Secured Party or Trustee, Secured Party may, if a default exists, proceed under said Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Collateral and shall have and may exercise with respect to the Collateral all the rights, remedies and powers of a secured party after default under said Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right and power to sell, at public or private sale or sales, or otherwise dispose of, lease or utilize the Collateral and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under said Uniform Commercial Code after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment of any costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and legal expenses thereby incurred by Secured Party, and toward payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order or manner as Secured Party may elect.

(b) If a default exists, Secured Party shall have the right (without limitation) to take possession of the Collateral and to enter upon any premises where same may be situated for such purpose without being deemed guilty of trespass or otherwise incurring any liability for its entry upon those premises and to take any action deemed necessary or appropriate or desirable by Secured Party, at its option and in its discretion, to repair, refurbish or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, lease or other use or disposition as herein authorized.

(c) To the extent permitted by Law, Debtor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral and any other right or remedies of a debtor or formalities prescribed by Law relative to sale or disposition of the Collateral or exercise

Page 20

SAC 442418896v5

of any other right or remedy of Secured Party existing after default hereunder; and to the extent any such notice is required and cannot be waived, Debtor agrees that if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at the address shown with debtor’s signature hereinbelow at least twenty days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice.

(d) Secured Party is expressly granted the right, at its option, if a default exists, to transfer at any time to itself or to its nominee the Collateral, or any part thereof, and to receive the monies, income, proceeds or benefits attributable or accruing thereto and to hold the same as security for the Secured Indebtedness or to apply it on the principal and interest or other amounts owing on any of the Secured Indebtedness, whether or not then due, in such order or manner as Secured Party may elect. All rights to marshaling of assets of Debtor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived.

(e) All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Secured Party incident to sale, transfer, assignment, lease or other disposition or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the matter stated therein, no other proof shall be required to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto, and all prerequisites of such sale or other action and of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto shall be presumed to have been performed or to have occurred.

(f) Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties. All expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, lease or other use or disposition, selling, leasing or otherwise using or disposing of the Collateral and the like which are incurred or paid by Secured Party as authorized or permitted hereunder, including also all attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and costs, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this instrument, and Debtor shall be liable therefor.

(g) Should Secured Party elect to exercise its right under said Uniform Commercial Code as to part of the personal property and fixtures described herein, this election shall not preclude Secured Party or Trustee from exercising the rights and remedies granted by the preceding paragraphs of this instrument as to the remaining personal property and fixtures.

(a) Any copy of this instrument may also serve as a financing statement under said Uniform Commercial Code between the Debtor, whose address is designated with its signature, and the SECURED PARTY, WHOSE ADDRESS IS c/o Blacklight S.A., Chemin des Papillons 4, Cointrin CH-1216, Switzerland.

(b) So long as any amount remains unpaid on the Secured Indebtedness, Debtor will not authorize for filing in any public office any financing statement or statements affecting the Collateral other than Permitted Encumbrances and financing

Page 21

SAC 442418896v5

statements in favor of Secured Party hereunder, unless the prior written specific consent and approval of Secured Party shall have first been obtained.

(c) Secured Party is authorized to file, in any jurisdiction where Secured Party deems it necessary, one or more financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to Secured Party, and Debtor will pay the cost of filing or recording those financing statements or this instrument as a financing statement in all public offices at any time and from time to time whenever filing or recording of any financing statement or of this instrument is deemed by Secured Party to be necessary or desirable.

(d) The office where the records of Debtor with respect to the Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties are kept is located at the address shown opposite the signature of Debtor to this Mortgage, and Debtor agrees that the place at which such records are kept will not be changed without prior written consent of Secured Party.

Debtor further warrants and represents to Secured Party that, except for the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral and other claims previously disclosed in writing to Secured Party, Debtor is the owner and holder of the Collateral, free of any adverse claim, security interest or encumbrance other than Permitted Encumbrances, and Debtor agrees to defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of any person at any time claiming the same or any interest therein. Debtor further warrants and represents that it has not heretofore signed any financing statement and no financing statement signed by Debtor is now on file in any public office except those statements true and correct copies of which have been delivered to Secured Party.

ARTICLE VIII.

Concerning the Trustee

8.1 Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary. Trustee or any successor or substitute Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary and such power of removal may be exercised as frequently and at such times as Beneficiary may elect. In case of the absence, death, resignation or removal of Trustee, or the inability, failure, or refusal of Trustee to act, a successor or substitute Trustee may be appointed by Beneficiary by instrument complying with any applicable requirements of law, and in the absence of any such requirement, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Beneficiary. Such right to appoint a substitute Trustee shall exist and may be exercised as often and whenever Beneficiary may elect. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein required, and upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Properties shall vest in the named successor Trustee and he shall thereupon succeed to, hold, possess and exercise all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.

Page 22

SAC 442418896v5

If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed as contemplated by the foregoing provisions in this Section, or if appointed shall not have accepted the appointment, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a vacancy in the office of Trustee, Beneficiary or such retiring Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees.

8.2 Any Trustee from time to time serving hereunder shall have the absolute right, acting independently, to take any action and to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege conferred upon Trustee, and any action taken by any Trustee from time to time serving hereunder shall be binding upon all other Trustees and no person dealing with any Trustee from time to time serving hereunder shall be obligated to confirm the power and authority of such Trustee to act without the concurrence of the other Trustees.

8.3 Trustee shall not be required to take any action for the enforcement of this instrument or the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or to appear in or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in connection therewith, where, in the opinion of Trustee, such action will be likely to involve him in expense or liability, unless Trustee be tendered security and indemnity satisfactory to him, against cost, expense or liability in connection therewith.

8.4 It shall be no part of the duty of Trustee to see to any recording, filing or registration of this instrument or any other instrument supplemental hereto, or to see to the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any Tax or assessment or other governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Mortgaged Properties or against Grantor or to see to the performance or observance by Grantor of any of the covenants or agreements herein contained. Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgment or validity of this instrument or of any instrument supplemental hereto or of the Note, or for the sufficiency of the security purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights of the Holder of the Note. Trustee shall have the right to consult with counsel upon any matters arising hereunder, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of the counsel. Trustee shall not incur any personal liability hereunder except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine.

ARTICLE IX.

Miscellaneous

9.1 This instrument is a deed of trust and mortgage of both real and personal property, a security agreement, a financing statement and an assignment, and also covers proceeds and fixtures.

9.2 All options and rights of election herein provided for the benefit of beneficiary are continuing, and the failure to exercise any such option or right of election upon a particular default or breach or upon any subsequent default or breach shall not be construed as waiving the right to exercise such option or election at any later date. By the acceptance of payment of any indebtedness secured hereby after its due date, beneficiary does not waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to regard as a default failure to

Page 23

SAC 442418896v5

pay any other sums due which are secured hereby. No exercise of the rights and powers herein granted and no delay or omission in the exercise of such rights and powers shall be held to exhaust the same or be construed as a waiver thereof, and every such right and power may be exercised at any time and from time to time.

9.3 No release of any part of the Mortgaged Properties shall in any way alter, vary or diminish the force, effect or lien of this instrument on the balance of Mortgaged Properties.

9.4 Any provision contained herein or in the Note or in any other instrument evidencing or relating to any Secured Indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding, none of Holder or the Holder of any other Secured Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall Grantor be obligated to pay, interest on any of the Secured Indebtedness in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and if any provision of the Note or of any other such instrument shall ever be construed or held to permit the collection or to require the payment of any amount of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, the provisions of this section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision of the Note or other instrument.

9.5 Any notice, request, demand or other instrument which may be required or permitted to be given or furnished to or served upon Grantor shall be addressed to it at its address set forth below, or such other address as Grantor may furnish to Trustee or Beneficiary in writing. Notices to Trustee and Beneficiary shall be deemed to have been properly given if delivered in like fashion to them at the following address:

Mark C. Lee

Greenberg Traurig, LLP

1201 K Street, Suite 1100

Sacramento, California 95814

Or at such other address as Trustee or Beneficiary may furnish to Grantor in writing.

9.6 Renewals and extensions of the Secured Indebtedness may be given at any time and amendments may be made to this Mortgage and other agreements relating to any of the Secured Indebtedness or the Mortgaged Properties and/or such properties may at any time be released or partially released and/or Beneficiary may take or hold other security for the Secured Indebtedness without notice to or joinder or consent of any persons hereafter acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Properties. Trustee or Beneficiary may resort first to such other security or any part thereof or first to the security herein given or any part thereof, or from time to time to either or both, even to the partial or complete abandonment of either security, and such action shall not be a waiver of any rights conferred by this instrument, which shall continue as a first Lien upon all of the Mortgaged Properties not expressly released until the Secured Indebtedness is fully paid.

9.7 If any provision hereof or of the Note or the Note is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the other provisions hereof or of the Note shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction, and the remaining provisions hereof shall be liberally construed in favor of Trustee and Beneficiary in order to effectuate the provisions hereof, and the invalidity or

Page 24

SAC 442418896v5

unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.8 All of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Grantor, and the successors and permitted assigns of Grantor and Beneficiary and successors and assigns of Trustee, and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Beneficiary and their respective successors and assigns and Grantor’s covenants shall constitute covenants running with the lands covered by the Mortgaged Properties, but this provision shall not be construed to authorize any sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Properties contrary to any other provisions hereof.

9.9 The Mortgage may be executed in multiple counterparts, and may be delivered by facsimile or electronic means, each of which is deemed to be an original for all purposes although all such executed copies shall evidence and constitute one and the same Mortgage; provided that it shall never be necessary for Beneficiary or Trustee to produce more than one fully executed counterpart with all divisions to prove the existence of all such counterparts. The counterpart recorded in a particular jurisdiction may have attached to it only the division or subdivisions of the exhibit that contain descriptions of Mortgaged Properties located in such jurisdiction.

9.12 This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted under the laws of the state of Texas (without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles), except to the extent that the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Properties are located shall be mandatorily applicable.

EXHIBIT A

ATTACHED TO AND FORMING A PART OF THE

DEED OF TRUST, MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF PRODUCTION,

SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FINANCING STATEMENT

DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2014

PREAMBLE

This Exhibit A contains this Preamble and the specific description of the “Leases” comprising a portion of the “Mortgaged Properties,” as those terms are defined in the Deed of Trust, Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement (the “Mortgage”) to which this Exhibit A is attached.

Divisions. This Exhibit A may be composed of several divisions and subdivisions--at least one for each state and county in each state in which any part of the Mortgaged Properties is located in more than one county, the division hereof containing the description of such Hydrocarbons (as defined in the Mortgage) will generally include the relevant portion of each of the counties in which any part of such oil, gas and mineral lease is located. Counties containing portions of such multi-county leases may therefore be covered by more than one division of this Exhibit A. Each subdivision is in turn composed of further subdivisions—each one covering one or more of the oil, gas and mineral leases included among the Mortgaged Properties.

Counterparts. The Mortgage may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original for all purposes although all such executed copies shall evidence and constitute one and the same Mortgage; provided that it shall never be necessary for Beneficiary or Trustee to produce more than one fully executed counterpart with all divisions to prove the existence of all such counterparts. The counterpart recorded in a particular county may have attached to it only the division or subdivisions of this exhibit that contain descriptions of Mortgaged Properties located in such county or parish. Whenever a recorded counterpart of the Mortgage contains less than all of the divisions, the descriptions contained in the omitted divisions are hereby incorporated into said recorded counterpart by reference.

Definitions. For all purposes of this Exhibit A, the following terms shall have indicated meanings:

“Block” means several leases within an immediate vicinity.

“Defensible Title” means, with respect to each Property, title that:

(a) entitles the owner to receive (free and clear of all royalties, overriding royalties and net profits interests or other burdens on or measured by the production of Hydrocarbons, without regard to whether such interest appears of record) not less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Exhibit A (or in such other certificate or writing provided to Holder representing the interests in the

Exhibit A-1

SAC 442418896v5

Properties, including any Mortgage) in all Hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from the Property for the productive life of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except (i) the Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) Liens in favor of Holder to secure the Obligations; and

(b) obligates the owner to bear costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operation of such Property in an amount not greater than the Working Interest set forth on Exhibit A for the productive life of such Property.

“Excluded Interests” means (i) with respect to any Mortgaged Property, a 15% Retained Profits Interest in the Grantor (which does not constitute a membership interest or other equity interest in the Grantor) as defined in and pursuant to that Assignment of Retained Profits Interest and that Purchase and Sale Agreement dated effective as of May 1, 2013 by and between Jeffrey S. Cornelius and High Plains Oil, LLC and (ii) with respect to the 15% Retained Profits Interest, the right to convert said interest to a 15% ownership interest in the Grantor’s Oil and Gas Properties (which does not constitute a membership interest of other equity interest in the Grantor) as defined in and pursuant to that Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of JHE Holdings, LLC dated effective May 31, 2011.

“Net Revenue Interest” means with respect to any Property, the decimal or percentage share of production from or allocable to such property, after deduction of all overriding royalties and other burdens (including lessor royalties), that an owner of a Working Interest is entitled to receive based on its proportionate share of ownership.

“Working Interest” means the property interest which entitles the owner thereof to explore and develop certain land for Hydrocarbon production purposes, whether under an oil and gas lease or unit, a compulsory pooling order or otherwise.

“Overriding Royalty Interest” means (i) with respect to a Unit for which an Overriding Royalty Interest is stated, that interest in the applicable Hydrocarbons produced, saved, and sold from such unitized area which is afforded to Grantor by virtue of its ownership of such expense-free interest in the production attributable to the Leases included in whole or in part in such area, and (ii) with respect to a Well for which an Overriding Royalty Interest is stated, an expense-free interest in the applicable Hydrocarbons produced, saved and sold from a Well or Subject Lease which is afforded to Grantor by virtue of its ownership of such expense-free interest in the production attributable to the Lease on which such Well is located.

“Well” means any existing oil or gas well, salt water disposal well, injection well, water supply well or any other well located on or related to the Properties or any well which may hereafter be drilled and/or completed on the Properties, or any facility or equipment in addition to or replacement of any well, including a well producing or capable of producing oil and/or gas that is described or referred to in this Exhibit A.

Exhibit A-2

SAC 442418896v5

“Unit” means a unit, pool, or communitized area described or referred to in this Exhibit A.

“Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean (i) minor irregularities in title which do not (a) materially interfere with the occupation, use and enjoyment by Grantor of any of the Mortgaged Properties in the normal course of business as presently conducted, or (b) materially impair the value thereof for such Mortgaged Properties, (ii) all interests in the Mortgaged Properties securing obligations owed to, or claimed by, any Person other than Beneficiary, whether such interest is based on the common law, statute or contract, and whether such interest includes Liens or security interests arising by virtue of mortgage, encumbrance, pledge, security agreement, conditional sale or trust receipt or lease, consignment or bailment for security purposes, so long as each said interest has been expressly consented to by Beneficiary in writing, (iii) Liens of landlords, vendors, carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, laborers and materialmen arising by Law, and of operators arising by contract, in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate action promptly initiated and diligently conducted, if such reserve as shall be required by standard accounting practices shall have been made therefor; (iv) the specific exceptions and encumbrances affecting each of the Mortgaged Properties as described in this Exhibit, (v) any Liens which are subordinate to the Liens created hereby pursuant to a Subordination Agreement approved by Beneficiary; (vi) any other Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Note); (vii) the agreements and matters set forth in Exhibit B; INSOFAR ONLY as the foregoing exceptions, encumbrances and agreements are valid and subsisting and are enforceable against the particular Lease(s) which are made subject to said exceptions, encumbrances or agreements.

Scope and Format of Description. The Subject Interests are expressly limited to the Subject Leases insofar and only insofar as they cover lands and depth intervals in which Grantor owns an undivided interest and do not include lands and depth intervals in which Grantor owns no undivided interest even though such lands or depth intervals are covered by the Subject Leases; but this provision shall not impair Beneficiary’s rights under the warranty of title contained in the Mortgage. The format of the description is as follows:

With respect to each Lease, the description includes the Lease, the date, the Lessor, the Lessee, the recording information, the governmental or state serial number assigned to the lease (if applicable), and a description of the lands covered by the Lease. If the recorded instrument is a short form of memorandum of a Lease, the term “Lease” shall be deemed to include all of the terms and provisions of the Lease referred to in such short form or memorandum. Certain property descriptions are abbreviated to Sections, Townships, and Ranges. In such descriptions, the following terms may be abbreviated as follows:

Northwest Quarter	NW or NW/4;
Southwest Quarter	SW or SW/4;
Southeast Quarter	SE or SE/4;
Northeast Quarter	NE or NE/4;
North Half	N/2;

Exhibit A-3

SAC 442418896v5

South Half	S/2;
East Half	E/2;
West Half	W/2;

The applicable Blocks are followed by an N, S, E, or W to indicate whether the Block is North, South, East, or West. Certain descriptions merely refer to the Block in which the property is located in whole or in part. In such cases, the recorded Leases and any amendments thereof and any other recorded instruments affecting Grantor’s title more particularly describe the land within such Block in which Grantor owns an interest, and the descriptions contained in such instruments are incorporated herein by this reference. In the case of certain federal and state leases, the interests set forth may be in the nature of either record, title or operating rights. The land description does not necessarily signify that Grantor owns the entire interest in such Lease as to all of such land or as to all depth intervals. The statement of a Working Interest and a Net Revenue Interest for a Well or Unit does not necessarily signify that Grantor owns the same applicable Lease or leases as to the areas or depth intervals not attributable to the Well or Unit.

The statement of a Working Interest and a Net Revenue Interest with respect to a Well or Wells signifies that Grantor owns that Working Interest and Net Revenue Interest in the Well or Wells with respect to the intervals in which the Well or Wells are currently completed, and excludes a unitized area or formation, if any, included within a Unit which is also described in this Exhibit A.

Each Well or Unit with respect to which the Working Interest and Net Revenue Interest of Grantor is stated is described as follows: (i) each well is described by reference to the Well name given to the Well in Grantor’s records, which may or may not be the name stated in the records of the applicable state or federal regulatory authority, and (ii) each Unit is described by the name by which such Unit is referred to in Grantor’s records, which may or may not be the name used (if a name is used) in the instrument creating such Unit.

Re: Letter-in-Lieu of Transfer Order

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Circle Star Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation, as Grantor (“Grantor”), has executed a Deed of Trust, Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of February 28, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Mortgage”), in favor of __________ (“________”) as Holder, granting a mortgage on and pledging those certain properties (the “Mortgaged Properties”) described in the Mortgage to secure the obligations of Grantor under that certain Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note dated effective as of February 28, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”), from Grantor to [name]. Enclosed for your reference is a copy of the Mortgage.

Exhibit A attached to the enclosed Mortgage lists the Mortgaged Properties for which you are accounting to Grantor for proceeds from the sale of production and the decimal or percentage interest in production heretofore paid to Grantor by you with respect to its interest in each property.

Pursuant to the assignment of production provisions in the Mortgage (Article III), Grantor has transferred and collaterally assigned all of its interest in the Mortgaged Properties to [name]. Therefore, Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs you that all future payments attributable to the Mortgaged Properties, which would otherwise be paid to Grantor, should be made to:

If by wire transfer, payable to [name], and sent to:

Account:

[Insert Wire Instructions]

If by check, checks should be made payable to [name], and mailed to:

[Insert mailing instructions]

Page 2

until notified in writing by [name] to discontinue such payments. Also, Grantor hereby requests that you change your records to reflect that [name] is entitled to receive the proceeds of production attributable to the Mortgaged Properties.

In consideration of your acceptance of this Letter-in-Lieu of Transfer Order, [name] and Grantor have agreed as follows:

1. Grantor has heretofore executed Division Orders to you covering each of the properties referred to in Exhibit A attached to the enclosed Mortgage. This letter is being executed by Grantor and [name] in lieu of execution of a separate Transfer or Division Order. With respect to proceeds from the sale of oil, gas and other hydrocarbons as to which you account hereunder, [name] agrees that it will be bound by the terms, conditions, warranties and covenants of all such Division Orders heretofore executed by Grantor now in force, with the same effect as though it had executed the originals thereof; provided, however, the aggregate liability of [name] with respect to any warranty, representation, covenant or indemnification contained therein or in this letter shall be limited to an amount equal to the amounts disbursed by you to [name] hereunder.

The Notes shall be designated as the “12% Convertible Notes, due December 31, 2014”, shall be issued on the Closing Date.

2.2 Description of the Notes

The principal and any accrued and unpaid interest on Notes will due and payable on December 31, 2014 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) or, at the election of the Holder, on the earlier of (a) the closing of a financing transaction by the Corporation for aggregate proceeds in excess of US$5,000,000; (b) the sale of JHE; (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of JHE; or (d) an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Certificates). The events described in this Section 2.2(a), (b) and (c) are each a “Triggering Event” and the Corporation agrees to provide each Noteholder notice of a Triggering Event within five (5) calendar days.

A partial sale of JHE or JHE’s assets shall not be deemed to be a Triggering Event so long as the Corporation will apply no less than seventy percent (70%) of the net proceeds from such partial sale transaction to pay the principal amount and any outstanding unpaid interest of the Notes on closing of such transaction.

Any payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days in a leap year, as the case may be. For any period that is not an equal monthly payment, interest shall be calculated for the actual number of days in such period excluding the date of payment.

Wherever in this Agreement or a Note there is mention, in any context, of the payment of interest, such mention is deemed to include the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to this Agreement or such Note, and express mention of interest on amounts in default in any of the provisions of

Amended and Restated Inter-Creditor Agreement made as of February 28, 2014 - Page 7

this Agreement shall not be construed as excluding such interest in those provisions of this Agreement in which such express mention is not made.

If the date for payment of any amount of principal and interest in respect of a Note is not a Business Day at the place of payment, then payment shall be made on the next Business Day at such place and the Holder of such Note shall not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of the delay.

2.6 Option of Holder as to Place of Payment

Except as herein otherwise provided, all amounts which at any time become payable on account of any Note or any interest thereon shall be payable at the option of the Holder at any of the places at which the principal and interest in respect of such Note are payable.

2.7 Surrender for Cancellation

If the principal amount due upon any Note shall become payable before the Stated Maturity thereof, the Person presenting such Note for payment shall surrender the same for cancellation to the Corporation and the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid the interest accrued and unpaid thereon (computed on a per diem basis if the date fixed for payment is not an Interest Payment Date).

2.8 Right to Receive Agreement

Each Noteholder is entitled to receive from the Corporation a copy of this Agreement on written request and upon payment of a reasonable copying charge.

The Person in whose name a Note is registered shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and payment of or on account of the principal and interest on such Note shall be made only to or upon the order in writing of such Person, and each such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Corporation for the amount so paid.

3.3	Restrictions on Transfer of Notes Under U.S. Securities Law

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. The Notes are “restricted securities”

SECTION 4

WITHHOLDING TAXES

All payments made by the Corporation with respect to the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment, or other governmental charge imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of the United States, as well as any other government or authority, province, state or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof as well as any other government or authority having power to tax a Noteholder, unless the Corporation is required to withhold or deduct taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Corporation is required by such laws or by the interpretation or administration thereof to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment with respect to the Notes (including without limitation, any payments for principal, interest, capitalized interest) for or on account of any taxes, the Corporation shall make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

CIRCLE STAR ENERGY CORP.

A NEVADA CORPORATION

Warrant

Circle Star Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that [name]. (the “Initial Holder”), or its registered assigns (the Initial Holder or such registered assigns shall be referred to as the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to 2,500,000 shares (the “Warrant Stock”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.05 per share (the “Purchase Price”). The number of shares of Warrant Stock and the Purchase Price may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant. As used herein, “Exercise Date” means any date on or after February 1, 2015 and prior to the Expiration Date on which the Holder elects by written notice to the Company to exercise this Warrant.

1. Exercise.

(a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on or after February 1, 2015 and prior to the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, or wire transfer in immediately available funds.

(b) Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock represented by such certificates.

(c) Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within seven (7) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled, and

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) above.

In the event the Company fails to deliver a certificate for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Holder is entitled within five (5) days after the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to a penalty equaling one percent (1%) of the number of Warrant Stock issuable in accordance with the exercise of the Warrant for each fifteen (15) day period commencing after such five (5) day period. It is expressly understood that the foregoing penalty provision is in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, any and all remedies available to the Holder as set forth herein.

(d) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

2. Adjustments.

(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2; and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

(c) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

3. Transfers.

(a) Unregistered Security. This Warrant and the Warrant Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold, pledged, distributed, offered for sale, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Stock under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel,

reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration or qualification is not required. Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

(b) Transferability. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder may change such Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

4. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will (subject to Section 14 below) at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

5. Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate two (2) years from the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”).

6. Grant of Call Option. At any time during the Call Period (as defined below), the Company shall have the right (the “Call Right”) to cancel the Holder’s right to exercise up to 1,250,000 shares of the Warrant Stock (the “Call Warrants”) under the Warrant to the Company, at the Call Purchase Price (as defined below).

(a) During the period commencing on the Original Issue Date and ending upon six months after the Original Issue Date, if the Company has repaid at least $500,000 owed to the Holder pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated 12% Convertible Note, dated February 28, 2014, between the Company and the Holder (the “Call Period”), the Company may elect to purchase the Call Warrants by delivering to the Holder a written notice (the "Call Exercise Notice") exercising the Call Right.

(b) Subject to Section 6(c) below, the closing of any sale of Call Warrants shall take place no later than 30 days following receipt by the Holder of the Call Exercise Notice. The Company shall give the Holder at least 10 days’ written notice of the date of closing (the "Call Right Closing Date").

(c) The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to pay the Call Purchase Price for the Call Warrants by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Call Right Closing Date.

(d) In the event the Company exercises the Call Right hereunder, the purchase price at which the Holder shall be required to sell the Call Warrants (the "Call Purchase Price") shall be equal to $0.10 per Call Warrant.

7. Notices of Certain Transactions. In the event:

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Warrant Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

8. Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants. All of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and other similar Warrants, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject to no lien or other encumbrance other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities laws and restrictions imposed by Section 3 hereof.

10. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

11. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile, or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the regular mail as certified or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally) with postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the Holder, to the address of the Holder most recently furnished in writing to the Company and (b) if to the Company, to the address set forth below or subsequently modified by written notice to the Holder.

(JHE HOLDINGS, LLC)

This UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (“Guaranty”) is made and entered into this 28th day of February, 2014 by JHE PROPERTIES, LLC a Texas limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”), to and in favor of MEDIAPARK A.G. (“Mediapark”), an entity formed in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and authorized to do business in Nevada; and SOLOMAN AG, an entity formed in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and authorized to do business in Nevada (“Soloman” with Mediapark and Soloman collectively referred to as “Lenders”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, in or about February of 2012, CIRCLE STAR ENERGY CORP., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Borrower”) issued a Private Placement Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which subscribers could purchase 10% Convertible Notes due February 8, 2013. Pursuant to Subscription Agreement that $2,000,000.00 of the proceeds received from the sale of 2012 Notes would be used to pay payments due on the JHE Loan, and the remaining $750,000.00 of proceeds would be used toward the acquisition of royalty, leasehold, working, operating, carried, net revenue, net profit, reversionary and other mineral rights and interests in oil, gas and other mineral properties located in Trego, Logan, and Grove County, Kansas;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, in or about February of 2012, Mediapark paid to Borrower One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000.00) to purchase a 10% Convertible Note identified as Note No. 2012 CN – 003 (“Mediapark Note”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, in or about February of 2012, Soloman paid to Borrower an additional One Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,375,000) to purchase a 10% Convertible Note identified as Note No. 2012 CN – 001 (“Soloman Note,” with the Mediapark Note and the Soloman Note hereinafter collectively referred to as the “2012 Notes”, and generally, the Lenders’ payment of the aggregate amount of Two Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars $2,750,000.00 shall be referred to as the “Loan”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2012 Notes, Borrower promised to repay Lenders all principal plus interest accruing at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on or before the stated maturity date of February 8, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). The 2012 Notes were to automatically mature and become immediately due and payable on the stated Maturity Date;

WHEREAS, the 2012 Notes were not repaid on or before the Maturity Date.

WHEREAS, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Lenders shall enter into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the new obligations of Borrower shall be defined (the “New Obligations”) and the 2012 Notes will be amended and restated, and their maturity date will be extended to December 31, 2014 (“Amended and Restated Notes”).

WHEREAS, as a condition to Lenders agreeing to accept the Settlement Agreement, Amended and Restated Notes, and New Obligations from the Borrower, Lenders are requiring that Guarantor enter into this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lenders that the making of said Loan, execution of the Settlement Agreement, issuance of the Amended and Restated Notes, and Borrower’s agreement to New Obligations shall be to the direct benefit, interest and advantage of Guarantor;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of said benefit, the above-recited premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees with Lenders as follows:

Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as for Guarantor's own debt, until full performance and payment have been effected: (i) the full, due and punctual payment of all principal and interest on all indebtedness to Lenders under the terms of the Amended and Restated Notes, and the completion of all other obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Amended and Restated Notes, whether in due course, by acceleration, or otherwise, and any and all extensions, revisions, amendments, modifications, restatements and/or renewals thereof, and under the terms of any instrument or document evidencing, securing or relating to the obligations evidenced by the Settlement Agreement and the ancillary documents referenced therein (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”), including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) the full and prompt performance of any and all obligations of Borrower to Lenders under the terms of the Loan Documents; and (iii) the full, due and punctual payment of all principal and interest on all other indebtedness owed by Borrower to Lenders, however and whenever evidenced, whether in due course, by acceleration, or otherwise, and any and all extensions, revisions, amendments, modifications, restatements and/or renewals thereof (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as the “Obligations”).

This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and immediate. This Guaranty shall be a guarantee as for the own debts of Guarantor, and, accordingly, Lenders shall not be obligated, before enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor, to take any action in any court against Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower or of any other guarantor of the Obligations, to make demand of Borrower or of any other guarantor of the Obligations, or to enforce or seek to enforce any other security held by any person with respect to the Obligations. This Guaranty shall be a continuing security in addition to and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Lenders with respect to the Obligations and shall not be discharged except by: (i) complete performance by Borrower of all of the Obligations; or (ii) full payment and performance by Guarantor hereunder.

Guarantor shall not be exonerated from Guarantor's obligations hereunder by any time being given to or by any concession or arrangement or indulgence granted to or made with Borrower or by any delay or waiver on the part of any particular Lender or Lenders, collectively, by anything done or omitted which, but for this provision, might operate so to exonerate Guarantor or by any invalidity, unenforceability, limitation or the lapse of any security or evidence of indebtedness given Lenders, collectively, by Borrower or any other person. The Lenders may, at any time and from

time to time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, and without incurring any responsibility to Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing any of its rights, or any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of or renew or otherwise alter the Obligations in any manner; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all or any part of any property, real or personal, by whomsoever at any time pledged, conveyed or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations; (iii) release anyone liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations (other than Borrower); (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower and others (including any other guarantor of the Obligations), and Guarantor hereby expressly waives any statutory right pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 40 generally, including any right to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against Borrower or any particular piece of collateral prior to pursuing the Guarantor pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 40.430; and (v) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect. Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives the following: (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, and of any default of Borrower in the payment of the Obligations; (b) any presentment, demand, protest or notice thereof or of any other kind; and (c) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or which might otherwise operate as a discharge of Guarantor. It is fully understood that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, Guarantor's undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this provision of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, or delay, or other act or omission of any particular Lender or Lenders, collectively, of its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by any particular Lender or Lenders, collectively, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of Guarantor, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to the performance of Guarantor's undertakings hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers, or any of them, it being the purpose and intent of the parties hereto that the covenants, agreements and all undertakings hereunder are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable under any and all circumstances except as expressly provided herein.

If any default under the Amended and Restated Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and any particular Lender or Lenders, collectively, or the holder of any of the Obligations is prevented from accelerating payment thereof, Lenders or such holder shall be entitled to receive hereunder from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such acceleration occurred.

Guarantor further confirms that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of principal of, or any part thereof, or interest on, any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Lenders upon the bankruptcy of Borrower, or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which Lender may have at law or in equity against Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon failure of Borrower to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether upon demand, at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by Lenders, pay or cause to be paid, not later than ten (10) days following the date of receipt of such written demand, to Lenders, the respective holder of any of the Obligations, or any party entitled thereto, in cash, an

amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations; (ii) accrued but unpaid interest on such Obligations; and (iii) any and all other sums due and then owing under the Obligations. All sums payable by Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without setoff, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding whatsoever, or, in the event that Guarantor is required by law to make any such deduction or withholding, Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Lenders such amount as will result in the receipt by Lenders of the full amount due Lenders hereunder.

In addition, Guarantor further agrees to pay all costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lenders in (i) collecting any and all sums owing under this Guaranty including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) in enforcing this Guaranty and the representations, covenants and agreements of Guarantor set forth herein; and (iii) in enforcing its rights under the security given by Guarantor for this Guaranty and under any security given by the Borrower or any other guarantor relating to the Obligations. Any and all sums owing hereunder shall, from their due date, bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Amended and Restated Notes until paid in full.

This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Each reference herein to Lenders shall be deemed to include its successors and permitted assigns (including, but not by way of limitation, any holder of the Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure. In the event that any term of provision hereof shall conflict with any term or provision of the Loan Documents, the term or provision hereof shall control. Words herein importing the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter genders and words herein importing persons shall include legal entities, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, all as the context shall require. If more than one person or entity constitutes Guarantor, all of the provisions hereof shall be construed to refer to each such person or entity, individually and collectively. Each individual comprising Guarantor shall in all respects be jointly and severally liable and obligated to Lenders hereunder. This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing signed by Lenders and Guarantor. This Guaranty may not be changed orally, and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by any one Lender, Lenders collectively, or any officer or agent of Lenders, except in the writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Lenders. This Guaranty shall be irrevocable by Guarantor until all obligations guaranteed hereby have been completely performed or until Guarantor has been released in writing by Lenders. In case any provision in this Guaranty shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and to the fullest extent allowed by law, there shall be deemed substituted for the offending provision or provisions valid, legal, and enforceable provision or provisions as similar as possible to the offending provision.

Guarantor hereby authorizes Lenders, without notice to Guarantor or Borrower, to apply all payments and credits received from Borrower or from Guarantor or realized from any security in such manner and in such priority as each Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit to the Obligations.

Guarantor warrants and represents to Lenders that all financial statements heretofore delivered by Guarantor to Lenders are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof.

Furthermore, Guarantor shall comply with and perform all covenants, conditions, and agreements on Guarantor's part to be performed under the Loan Documents.

Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty, the Amended and Restated Notes, and all other Loan Documents were executed and/or delivered in the State of Nevada and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding any conflicts of law rules or principles that might refer construction of any provision hereof to the laws of another jurisdiction.

Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Nevada for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of the State of Nevada or the United States to object to jurisdiction within the State of Nevada for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby submits to service of process, to venue, and to personal jurisdiction in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada, Clark County, Nevada, or the United States District Court, District of Nevada, and waives all rights Guarantor might have to make objections to lack of personal jurisdiction or lack of venue in all of said Courts.

Guarantor hereby knowingly, irrevocably, and unconditionally waives any and all right to a trial by jury in any action (whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise), to enforce or defend any matter arising from or relating in any way to this Guaranty or any other document or agreement evidencing or relating to the Loan, whether any such right is now or hereafter existing.

The books and records of Lenders showing the account between Lenders and Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding hereon as a prima facie proof of the items set forth therein.

Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Guaranty is required or permitted to be given to Guarantor shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes by being delivered personally or by being mailed via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, postage prepaid, to Guarantor at the address of Guarantor set forth at the end of this Guaranty, or at such other address as shall have been designated by the written notice to Lender.

Until payment in full by Guarantor of any and all sums owing to Lenders hereunder, all rights of Guarantor against Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations. Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor and subordinates any and all security held by Guarantor to the Loan and to all security held by Lenders. Guarantor agrees with Lenders that Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain a superior interest to Lenders in any of the security for the Loan; provided, however that if Lenders so request, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lenders and be paid over to Lenders on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lenders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Guaranty, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Guaranty.

This Guaranty is assignable by Lenders without notice to or consent of Guarantor and any assignment hereof by Lenders shall operate to vest in such assignee all rights and powers herein conferred upon and granted to Lenders.
