Item 2.03  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

On February 27, 2013, NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Company”) through its California limited partnership, NetREIT National City Partners, LP, entered into a promissory note with a third-party life insurance company for the principal sum of Ten Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10.8 million) (the “ NC Note”).

The NC Note bears interest at the fixed-rate of four and three-quarters percent (4.75%) per annum and a maturity date of March 5, 2020 with a 25-year amortization. The NC Note shall require monthly payments of principal and interest of Sixty-One Thousand, Five Hundred Seventy-Two and 68/100 Dollars ($61,572.68). The NC Note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing (“NC Deed”) for the property located at 2101 Haffley Avenue and 940 W. 19th Street in National City, California (the “NC Property”).  The proceeds of the NC Note were used to pay off the unpaid balance of the existing loan on the NC Property, which had a 25-year amortization, a current interest rate of 6%, and which was to be due and payable on June 20, 2013, and approximately $2 million were used to pay down the promissory note on the Garden Gateway loan as outlined below.

Concurrently on February 27, 2013, the Company, through its California limited partnership NetREIT Garden Gateway, LP, entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (“GG Agreement”) with its existing lender, a third-party life insurance company, which provided for an amended and restated promissory note in the principal sum of Seven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($7.25 million) (the “GG Note”).

The amended GG Note bears interest at the fixed-rate of five percent (5.00%) per annum with a maturity date of February 5, 2020. The GG Note continues to be secured by a Deed of Trust for the property located at 1355, 1357, 1365 West Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado (the “GG Property”).  The GG Note shall require monthly payments of principal and interest of Forty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Two and 78/100 Dollars ($42,382.78).  As referenced above, a portion of the proceeds from the NC Property refinance outlined above were used to pay down the loan balance of the existing loan on the GG Property by approximately Two Million Dollars ($2.0 million) and the GG Agreement further modified the terms of the existing loan by lowering the interest rate from 6.08% and extending the maturity date of the GG Note, which was to be due and payable in 2015.

The concurrent refinance of both the GG Property and the NC Property moved the maturity date from 2013 and 2015 for the NC Note and the GG Note, respectively, to 2020. The combined balances on the GG Note and the NC Note increased by approximately $350,000 and decreased the interest rates. The Company believes that the refinances would reduce the first year’s interest expense by approximately $210,000 and increase its annual cash flow by approximately $600,000 due to the lower debt service.

The NC Note, NC Deed, GG Note and GG Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”) have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.

The foregoing summary of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreements, which are attached as Exhibit 10.31, 10.32, 10.33 and 10.34 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreements have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreements are made only for purposes of the Agreements and as of specified dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreements, and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Agreements. The representations and warranties may be made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Agreements and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the Seller, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

PROMISSORY NOTE
 
US $10,800,000.00                                                                                                                     San Diego, California
 
February 27, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, NetREIT National City Partners, LP, a California limited partnership (" Borrower "), promises to pay to the order of Western-Southern Life Assurance Company, an Ohio corporation, (" Lender ") at its Home Office located at 400 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Ten Million Eight Hundred Thousand and No 100 Dollars ($10,800,000.00) (the “ Loan ”), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Promissory Note (the “ Note ”).

1.  
INTEREST RATE .
 
 
1.1.
Fixed Rate .   The unpaid principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at the rate (the " Contract Rate ”) of four and three-quarters percent (4.75%) per annum .
 
 
1.2
Calculation of Interest .   All interest payable under this Note shall be paid in arrears and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, 30-day month, except that first and last month shall be calculated by the actual number of days principal is outstanding.  Under no circumstances shall the interest, fees, and charges collected or to be collected under this Note exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by applicable law.  If any such law is interpreted so that said interest, fees, and/or charges would exceed any such maximum, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law, then:
 
 
(i)
such interest, fees, and/or charges shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the same to the permitted maximum; and
 
 
(ii)
any sums already collected from Borrower that exceed the permitted maximum will be refunded.  Lender may choose to make any refund either by treating the payments, to the extent of the excess, as prepayment of principal or by making a direct payment to Borrower.  No prepayment premium shall be assessed on prepayments under this subsection.  The provisions of this subsection shall control over any inconsistent provision of this Note or any other Loan Documents (as defined in Section 6 below).
 

2.  
MANNER OF PAYMENT .   Principal and interest shall be payable in installments as follows:
 
 
2.1
A payment of all interest to accrue hereon from the date of initial funding of this Note to and including March 4, 2013 shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.  For the purposes of this Note, the “ Closing Date ” shall be the date the Loan proceeds are disbursed to escrow.
 
 
2.2
Commencing April 5, 2013 and on the fifth (5 th ) day of each succeeding month throughout the term of this Note, Borrower shall make level monthly payments of principal and interest of Sixty-One Thousand, Five Hundred Seventy-Two and 68/100 Dollars ($61,572.68).
 
 
2.3
The entire unpaid principal balance on this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note and under any document securing this Note (collectively, the " Indebtedness ") shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  The " Maturity Date " shall be March 5, 2020 (the “ Scheduled Maturity Date ”), if not sooner paid, or the date of any earlier acceleration of the Indebtedness.
 
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PAYMENT OF ALL SUMS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE.
 
3.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS .   All payments received from, or on behalf of, Borrower shall be applied in the following order: (i) to any advancements of, or funds established for, payment of any insurance costs or premiums, taxes, assessments, or other advances or to any unpaid charges or fees as provided for in this Note or any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in Section 6 below), together with interest thereon at the “Default Rate” (as defined herein); (ii) any late charges as set forth in this Note;   (iii) to any prepayment premiums payable pursuant to this Note; (iv) to interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note; and then (v) to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.   Borrower hereby waives any rights and benefits that may arise under or by virtue of California Civil Code Section 2822(a).  Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of any partial payment hereunder, Lender shall have the sole right and authority to determine which portion of the Indebtedness any such partial payment made by Borrower and received by Lender hereunder may be applied against, if any; provided, however, that, nothing in the foregoing shall impose upon Lender any duty or obligation to accept or apply any partial payment received by Lender hereunder or under the “Deed of Trust” (as defined in Section 6 below).
 
4.
LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST RATE .   Borrower recognizes that a default by Borrower in making the payments agreed to be paid under this Note and pursuant to the Deed of Trust when due, including any agreed Lender charges or fees, shall result in Lender incurring additional expense in servicing the Loan, in loss to Lender of the use of the money due, and in frustration to Lender in meeting its loan commitments.  Borrower therefore agrees as follows:
 
 
4.1
Borrower shall pay, on demand, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each delinquent sum (the " Late Payment Charge ") if any monthly installment or other payment is not paid by the date when such payment is due.  An additional sum of five percent (5%) of any delinquent sum shall be charged for each successive month that the monthly installment or other payment remains past due and shall be incurred on the fifth (5th) day of each month without a daily pro rata adjustment for payment made after the fifth (5th) day of the month.  Acceptance of such late charge by Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount and shall not prevent Lender from exercising any other rights and remedies available to it.  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lender's option upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in paragraph 8 below), the Late Payment Charge shall not thereafter continue to apply; provided, however, that in either such event, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate as set forth below.
 
4.2  
Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in Section 8 below) (including failure to pay the outstanding principal balance hereof upon the Maturity Date), the Loan shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at a default rate equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate of interest allowable under the laws of the state where the Property is located or (ii) the Contract Rate plus five (5) percentage points per annum (the “ Default Rate ”).  The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on the Note.
 
4.3  
Borrower agrees that both the Late Payment Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments or other defaults under the terms of this Note and any other Loan Documents and that such charges are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies under this Note, under any other Loan Documents, or under applicable law and any reasonable fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys that the Lender may employ.  Borrower further acknowledges that the Late Payment Charge and Default Rate hereunder represent the reasonable estimate of those damages which would be incurred by Lender, and a fair return to Lender for the loss of the use of the funds not timely received from Borrower on account of a default by Borrower as herein specified, established by Borrower and Lender through good faith consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding the transaction contemplated under this Note as of the date hereof. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default.  Borrower and Lender agree that such Late Payment Charge and Default Rate represent a fair and reasonable and proportionate estimate of the anticipated and actual losses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment and default, and that the actual harm incurred by Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
 
5.
PREPAYMENTS .   Borrower shall not have the privilege to prepay, and Lender shall not have an obligation to accept tendered prepayments of, the whole or any portion of the Loan, except as expressly stated below.
 
 
5.1
Upon   not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the privilege to fully prepay the Indebtedness, provided that Borrower simultaneously pays to Lender a premium (the “ Prepayment Premium ”) equal to the greater of:
 
 
(a)
the sum of (i) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments on this Note from the date of prepayment to the Scheduled Maturity Date and (ii) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due on the Scheduled Maturity Date of this Note (assuming all scheduled monthly payments due prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date were made when due); minus (iii) the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.  The present values described in (i) and (ii) are to be computed on a monthly basis as of the date of prepayment, discounted at the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond that is closest in maturity with a price closest to 100 to the Scheduled Maturity Date of this Note, as reported in The Wall Street Journal , absent manifest error, on the fifth (5 th ) business day preceding the date of prepayment; or
 
 
(b)
one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.
 
 
5.2
In the event that (i) Lender exercises its right to accelerate the Maturity Date following an Event of Default by Borrower in any of the terms of this Note or any other Loan Documents, or (ii) payment is tendered of the full amount due at any time prior to a foreclosure sale or other similar proceeding, either by Borrower, its successors, or assigns or by anyone on its behalf, it shall be deemed by the Lender that such events shall constitute an evasion of the Prepayment Premium and to be a voluntary prepayment; therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such prepayment shall include the premium required to be paid under Section 5.1 above.
 
 
5.3
Notwithstanding Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, (a) Borrower shall have the privilege, after providing thirty (30) days advance written notice, to prepay this Note in full, without any prepayment premium, at any time during the ninety (90)-day period immediately preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date,   and (b) no Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable in the event Lender elects to apply any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable with respect to the “Property” (defined in Section 6 below) to the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust.
 
 
5.4
The prepayment premium required by this Section 5 is acknowledged by Borrower to be partial compensation to Lender for the cost of reinvesting the Loan proceeds and for the loss of the contracted rate of return on the Loan.  Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of such a prepayment by Borrower is not susceptible of precise calculation and the prepayment premium represents the good faith effort of Borrower and Lender to compensate Lender for such loss.  By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower waives any rights it may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10, or any successor statute, and Borrower confirms that Lender's agreement to make the Loan at the interest rate(s) and on the other terms set forth herein constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for the prepayment provisions set forth in this section.
 
_______________
 
Borrower’s Initials
 
 
5.5
Except as provided in this paragraph, no partial prepayments shall be permitted except with the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.  In the event that a partial prepayment is permitted by Lender in writing, the Prepayment Premium shall be pro rated based on the amount of the principal prepaid.
 
6.
SECURITY .   This Note is given for the Loan in the above amount and is secured by the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing in favor of Lender and dated as of the same date as this Note (the " Deed of Trust "), which Deed of Trust is a first lien on certain real and personal property located in San Diego County, California and more fully described in the Deed of Trust (the " Property ").  The Deed of Trust, this Note, and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Loan Documents .”  Borrower hereby agrees to perform and comply with each of the terms, covenants and provisions contained in this Note and in all other Loan Documents, all such terms, covenants and provisions being hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this Note.  The term “ Property ” shall mean both the real and personal property that is encumbered by the Deed of Trust.
 
7.  
DISBURSEMENTS .   Funds representing the proceeds of the Loan and evidenced by this Note that are disbursed by wire transfer, or other delivery to Borrower, to escrows, or otherwise delivered for the benefit of Borrower shall, for all purposes, be deemed outstanding under this Note and to have been received by Borrower as of the date of such wire transfer or other delivery, and interest shall accrue and be payable upon such funds from and after the date of such wire transfer or delivery and until repaid to Lender, notwithstanding the fact that such funds may not, at any time, have been received or remitted by such escrows to Borrower.
 
8.  
DEFAULT .   The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed an “ Event of Default ” under this Note: an Event of Default has occurred as defined in the Deed of Trust.

9.  
REMEDIES .   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, if any, then (i) the entire Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without further notice (which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), at the option of Lender, and (ii) Lender may exercise any rights or remedies available to it under this Note and the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.  The remedies of the Lender as provided in this Note and the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against Borrower, the Property, any guarantor or indemnitor of this Note, and/or any other security at the sole discretion of the Lender.  Time is of the essence.

 
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection when incurred (which costs and expenses may be added to the principal balance due under this Note and be receivable therewith), including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.  Such attorneys’ fees and costs shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable fees and costs incurred in all matters of collection and enforcement, construction, protection, and interpretation before and after suit, trial, proceedings and appeals, as well as appearance in and connected with any bankruptcy proceedings or creditors' reorganization or arrangement proceedings.
 
10.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY .   Except as otherwise provided herein and in the Loan Documents, in the event Lender should take action at any time to enforce the collection of the Loan, Lender may exercise any remedy it may have against the Property, including without limitation, foreclosing on the Deed of Trust.
 
10.1  
If Lender elects to foreclose the Deed of Trust, and, as a result of the foreclosure and sale of the Property, a lesser sum is realized from the sale of the Property than the amount due and owing on the Indebtedness, Lender shall not seek or obtain any deficiency or other money judgment against Borrower, it being understood and agreed that Borrower and all partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests in Borrower shall have no personal liability for the payment of the Indebtedness, and the Indebtedness shall be considered nonrecourse to Borrower, its partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests, except as provided in Section 10.2 below and in that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of Borrower to Lender of even date herewith and that certain Limited Recourse Guaranty (Carveouts) of even date herewith by NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, in favor of Lender.
 
10.2  
The foregoing provisions of Section 10.1 notwithstanding, Lender shall have full recourse against Borrower and any guarantors, if any, and the same shall be personally liable, jointly and severally (and Lender shall not be restricted from obtaining any monetary or other judgment against such persons and entities) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement by Borrower dated as of even date herewith, and Lender shall have full recourse against Borrower and guarantors, if any, and the same shall be personally liable, jointly and severally (and Lender shall not be restricted from obtaining any monetary or other judgment against such persons and entities) to the extent of any loss, cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or liability (collectively, the " Recourse Obligations ") suffered by Lender as a result of: (1) the Borrower misapplying, or failing to remit to Lender, any condemnation awards, casualty proceeds, or security deposits attributable to the Property; (2) any act of fraud or breach of any representation or warranty of the Borrower or any partner, member or stockholder of the Borrower (or holder of a beneficial interest therein), whether direct or indirect), legal or beneficial or an affiliated management or leasing company contained in the Loan Documents or any other agreement, certificate, or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents; (3) the Borrower collecting rents more than one (1) month in advance, or the failure after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to apply the rents toward the normal and necessary operating expenses of the Property, the curing of any default, or in the manner and for the purposes provided in the Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Documents; (4) the presence, release, threatened release, treatment or removal of any "Hazardous Materials" (as defined in the Deed of Trust) (including asbestos), or any underground or other storage tanks at the Property; (5) the violation of applicable environmental laws relating to Hazardous Materials or underground storage tanks, and any lien against any portion of the Property permitted or imposed by any environmental law; (6) any diminution in value of the Property or other collateral or security for the Loan, arising from the waste (whether intentional/active or permissive/passive) of the Borrower; (7) any casualty or loss that was self insured or under-insured or any deductible amount under any insurance policy relating to the Property, including, without limitation, those relating to terrorism and/or mold coverage; (8) the failure by Borrower to insure the Property as required under the terms of the Deed of Trust (or any other Loan Documents), including, without limitation, the failure to provide terrorism and/or mold coverage; (9) the failure by Borrower to pay any taxes or assessments on the Property; or (10) the filing of any bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding by Borrower
 
 
10.3
The foregoing limitation on personal liability is not intended and shall not be deemed to constitute a forgiveness of the Indebtedness or a release of the obligation to repay said Indebtedness according to the terms and provisions hereof, but shall operate solely to limit the remedies otherwise available to the holder hereof for the enforcement and collection of such Indebtedness.
 
 
10.4
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.1 , Lender's agreement that this Loan shall be non-recourse as provided in Section 10.1 shall be null and void, and the Loan shall be fully recourse, in the event of a default under Section 2.2.26 or Section 3.1.1.8 of the Deed of Trust.

11.
WAIVER; NO RELEASE .   Borrower, any endorsers, sureties, guarantors, successors in interest, and all others who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation (i) severally waive presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, demand and dishonor, and nonpayment of this Note, (ii) expressly agree that the Maturity Date of this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of each, and (iii) agree that the Lender hereof may release all or any part of the Property or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness on the payment hereof or release any party liable for this obligation, and such extension or release may be made without notice to any of such parties and without discharging the liability of any such party.  Borrower also waives, to the extent applicable, all defenses based upon suretyship or impairment of collateral.  It is further agreed that no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note or any of the Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender and any other person or party shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Borrower under this Note of the Loan Documents.  The right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to any demand on this Note, or any agreement to pay the same, or any demand secured by the Loan Documents, or any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Note or in the Loan Documents, is expressly waived by Borrower and endorsers to the fullest extent permitted by law.  No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other remedy under this Note.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy on a future occasion.
 
12.  
CONTROLLING LAW .   This Note will be interpreted under, and the rights and liabilities of the Lender and Borrower determined in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Property is located, excluding its conflict of laws rules.  Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in such state; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Note will prevent the Lender from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment, or exercising any rights against Borrower individually, against any security, or against any property of Borrower within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Lender and Borrower.  Borrower waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Note.
 
13.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; SEVERABILITY . If, under any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note conflicts with the mandatory requirements or prohibitions prescribed by any applicable statute or other applicable law with regard to obligations of like character or amount, then, to the fullest extent possible, this Note shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by any provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or otherwise contrary to law.  If any provision of this Note is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, all other provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect.
 
14.  
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .    BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS BORROWER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS.  BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.
 
15.  
NOTICES .   All notices provided for or required by this Note shall be given as provided in the Deed of Trust.
 
16.  
CAPTIONS .   The captions and headings of the Sections of this Note are for reference only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.

DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY AGREEMENT,
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AND FIXTURE FILING
 
 
COLLATERAL INCLUDES FIXTURES
 
THIS DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY AGREEMENT, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AND FIXTURE FILING (this " Deed of Trust ") is made as of the 27th day of February, 2013, by NetREIT National City Partners, LP, a California limited partnership (the " Trustor "), whose address is 1282 Pacific Oaks Place, Escondido, California 92029 in favor of Western-Southern Life Assurance Company, an Ohio corporation (the " Beneficiary "), whose address is 400   Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
 
RECITALS
 
A.  
Trustor is indebted to the Beneficiary (hereinafter sometimes also referred to as the " Lender ") in the principal sum of Ten Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,800,000) (the " Loan "), which indebtedness is evidenced by Trustor’s note dated as of the date hereof (the " Note "), such principal sum being payable as set forth in the Note with interest at the rate set forth therein, and containing a provision for the payment of a reasonable additional amount as attorneys’ fees.

Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Beneficiary shall determine in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, any Funds held by Lender at the time of application (i) to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums that are now or will hereafter become due or (ii) as a credit against sums secured by this Deed of Trust.  Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Lender shall promptly refund to Trustor any Funds held by Lender.
 
Lender shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing said account or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills.  Lender shall not be required to pay Trustor any interest, earnings or profits on the Funds.  The Funds are pledged, free and clear of any creditor liens, and a security interest is hereby granted to Lender therein, as additional security for the sums secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be subject to the right of set-off.
 
If the amount of the Funds held by Lender shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide for the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums thirty (30) days prior to the date when they become due and payable, such excess shall be credited to Trustor on the next monthly installment or installments of Funds due.  If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Beneficiary shall be less than the amount deemed necessary by Lender to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, Trustor shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) days after notice from Lender to Trustor requesting payment thereof and at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when they become due and payable.
 
The conveyance or transfer of Trustor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property for any reason (including, without limitation, the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Trustor’s interest in and rights to such funds held by Lender under this Section but subject to the rights of Lender hereunder.

Assignment of Rents .  As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all the rents, issues, profits and revenues (including all security deposits) of the Mortgaged Property, whether now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of that certain lease or leases more fully described in Exhibit “B” hereto, and under any other lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, regardless of to whom the rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property are payable (the " Rents ").  Trustor hereby authorizes Lender or Lender's agents to collect the aforesaid rents, issues, profits and revenues, and hereby directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay such rents, issues, profits and revenues to Lender or Lender's agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Lender to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust or under any of the Loan Documents, Trustor shall have the right to collect and receive all rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property as trustee for the benefit of Lender and Trustor, to apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues so collected to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust in the order provided in the Note with the balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Lender that this assignment of rents, issues, profits and revenues constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only.  Upon delivery of written notice by Lender to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust or under any of the other Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents, issues, profits and revenues and shall have paid over to it all tenant deposits with a full accounting thereof relating to the Mortgaged Property as specified in this Section 4.1 as the same become due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents, issues, profits and revenues shall immediately, upon delivery of such notice, be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Lender only; provided, however, that the written notice by Lender to Trustor of the breach by Trustor shall contain a statement that Lender exercises its rights to such rents, issues, profits  and revenues.  Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Lender to Trustor, each tenant of the Mortgaged Property shall make such rents, issues, profits and revenues payable to and pay such rents, issues, profits and revenues to Lender or Lender's agents on Lender's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each tenant's premises on the Mortgaged Property, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
 
 
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, issues, profits and revenues, except as set forth on the title insurance policy insuring Lender's interest in the Mortgaged Property, that Trustor has not performed, and shall not perform, any acts, or has not executed, and shall not execute, any instrument which would prevent Lender from exercising its rights under this Section 4.1 , and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such rents, issues, profits and revenues.  Trustor covenants that Trustor shall not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such rents, issues, profits and revenues, without the prior written consent of Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion.  Trustor further covenants that Trustor shall execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property as Lender may from time to time request.
 
 
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Lender may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Lender's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property, the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust.  In the event Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver.  Lender or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Mortgaged Property.  Any such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application (Trustor hereby waiving any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver).
 
 
All rents, issues, profits and revenues, collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Lender to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the rents, issues, profits and revenues, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Mortgaged Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Mortgaged Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Mortgaged Property and then to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.  Lender or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents, issues, profits and revenues actually received.  Lender shall not be liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor or anyone having an interest in the Mortgaged Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Lender under this Section 4.1 .
 
 
If the rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the rents, issues, profits and revenues, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become indebtedness of Trustor to Lender secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 7 hereof.  Unless Lender and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Lender to Trustor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the default rate of interest set forth in the Note.
 
 
Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver and any application of rents, issues, profits and revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided herein.  This assignment of rents of the Mortgaged Property shall terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure indebtedness held by Lender.
 
 
4.2
Assignment of Leases .  Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender its interest under all existing and future leases, rents, purchase proceeds, income and profits due Trustor from the Mortgaged Property, and all permitted subleases thereof, and any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, and replacements thereof, upon any part of the Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “ Leases ”).  Trustor hereby further assigns to Lender all guaranties of tenants’ performance under the Leases.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustor shall have the right, without joinder of Lender, to enforce the Leases, unless Lender directs otherwise.

REMEDIES AND RELATED RIGHTS .   If a Default shall occur, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following remedies and shall, in addition to any other rights, have the following related rights, without notice (unless notice is required by applicable law):
 
 
6.1

6 .2
Cure Default .  With or without notice, and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, to cure any default of Trustor and, in connection therewith, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person, or by an agent or employee, or by a receiver appointed by a Court of competent jurisdiction, and to do such acts and things as Beneficiary or Trustee may deem necessary or desirable to protect the security hereof.
 
 
6.3
Judicial Proceedings .  To commence and maintain an action or actions in any Court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, or without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured hereby, to obtain specific enforcement of the covenants of Trustor hereunder, for an injunction against any violation of this Deed of Trust, the appointment of a receiver, or for such other equitable relief as may be appropriate, in addition to any other remedies Beneficiary may otherwise have.

6.5
Elect to Sell Mortgaged Property .  To execute a written notice of such Event of Default and of the election to cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations secured hereby, Trustee shall give and record such notice as the law then requires as a condition precedent to a trustee’s sale.  When the minimum period of time required by law after such notice has elapsed, Trustee, without notice to or demand upon Trustor except as otherwise may then be required by law, shall sell the Mortgaged Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels or through one or more successive sales and in such order as it or Beneficiary may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, or other form of payment acceptable to Beneficiary, payable at the time of sale.  Trustor shall have no right to direct the order in which the Mortgaged Property is sold.  Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate the order in which the Mortgaged Property is offered for sale or sold and determine if the Mortgaged Property shall be sold through a single sale or through two or more successive sales, or in any other manner Beneficiary deems to be in its best interest.  If Beneficiary elects more than one sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary may at its option cause the same to be conducted simultaneously or in such order and at such times as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests, and no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Mortgaged Property not then sold until all indebtedness secured hereby has been fully paid.  If Beneficiary elects to dispose of the Mortgaged Property through more than one sale, Trustor shall pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial proceedings where the same may be undertaken.  Trustee may postpone any such sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the notice of sale, and may thereafter continue such postponement by like announcements at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement, at Beneficiary’s direction and without necessity of additional notices of sale.  Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed in form and manner as the law then requires conveying the Mortgaged Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any person, including Trustee, Trustor or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Trustee shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) allocate or apply the proceeds of sale (including the amount of any credit bid) in such manner and in such priority as Beneficiary may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736 shall not be waived, limited or otherwise adversely affected by virtue of a full or partial credit bid upon foreclosure of this Deed of Trust.

6.7
Appointment of Receiver .  To apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers for the Mortgaged Property, as a matter of right and without notice (notice hereby being expressly waived) to Trustor or anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Mortgaged Property or the adequacy of any security for the obligations secured hereby, Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor.  Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein.  Further, any such receiver or receivers may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application (Trustor hereby waiving any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver).  Trustor agrees to promptly deliver to any such receiver all leases, rents, issues and profits (including security deposits), documents, financial data and other information requested by such receiver in connection with the Mortgaged Property and, without limiting the foregoing, Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to deliver to any such receiver any or all of the leases, rents, issues and profits, documents, data and information in Beneficiary’s possession relating to the Mortgaged Property.
 
 
6.8
Exercise Other Rights and Remedies .  To exercise or invoke any and all other rights and remedies as may be available to Beneficiary or Trustee now or hereafter at law or in equity.

No action taken, or right or remedy invoked, by Beneficiary or Trustee under this Section 6, including the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property, or the entry into possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by such receiver, or otherwise, shall be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee in possession” or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part thereof.  In no event shall Beneficiary be required to accept a cure of any Event of Default, if any, notwithstanding any statement or provision to the effect that rights or remedies are available while an Event of Default “exists”, “continues” or is “outstanding”, or during the “existence” or “continuation” of an Event of Default (or any similar statement or provision) in any of the Loan Documents, or anything else in the Loan Documents.
 
 
6.10
Payment of Costs, Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees .  All costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.1-6.8 herein or otherwise in regards to the Loan (including court costs and attorneys’ fees, whether or not incurred in litigation and whether or not foreclosure is concluded, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents, or in connection with both judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure, if Beneficiary shall elect to pursue each such remedy whether concurrently or independently) shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest at the interest rate of the Note or at the Default Rate if the Note contains a Default Rate, from the date of expenditure until such sums have been paid.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to bid, at any sale of the Mortgaged Property held pursuant to Section 6.5 above, the amount of all such costs, expenses, and interest in addition to the amount of any other obligations hereby secured by a credit bid as the equivalent of cash.
 
 
6.11
Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security .  Without affecting the liability of any person for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or the lien or priority of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document upon the Mortgaged Property, Beneficiary may, from time to time, with or without notice, do one or more of the following:  release the liability of any person for the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby; make any agreement or take any action extending the maturity or otherwise altering the terms or increasing the amount of any indebtedness secured hereby; and accept additional security, or release all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property and other security held to secure the indebtedness secured hereby.  If Beneficiary holds any other or additional security for the payment of any indebtedness or performance of any obligation hereby secured, then any sale or foreclosure of such security upon any Event of Default, in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary, may be prior to, subsequent to, or contemporaneous with, any sale or foreclosure hereunder and any property in which Beneficiary holds a security interest may be sold as a unit with the Mortgaged Property.
 
 
6.12
Marshalling of Assets .  Trustor waives all right to require a marshalling of assets by Trustee or Beneficiary; and Trustor waives the right to require Trustee or Beneficiary to resort first to any portion of the Mortgaged Property retained by Trustor before resorting to any other portion of the Mortgaged Property which may have been transferred or conveyed subject hereto, whether such resort to security is undertaken by non-judicial sale or through proceedings in judicial foreclosure.

6.15
Resort to Any Security .  Lender may resort to any security given by this Deed of Trust or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Indebtedness, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Lender in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in anywise be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Deed of Trust.
 
 
6.16
Waiver .  To the full extent Trustor may do so, Trustor agrees that Trustor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Trustor, for Trustor and Trustor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Trustor, including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.  Trustor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort of collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Deed of Trust to the payment of such Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.  If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Trustor or Trustor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be enforced, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.  Without limitation, Trustor waives, to the extent permitted by law, (a) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the obligation secured hereby in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created, (c) all rights and remedies which Trustor may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of California pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties, (d) the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Deed of Trust or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any other obligation secured hereby, and (e) any rights, legal or equitable, to require marshalling of assets or to require foreclosure sales in a particular order, including any rights under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3433.  Beneficiary shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein.  Beneficiary shall have the right to determine the order in which any of all portions of the obligations secured hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Trustor’s rights under Section 2924c of the California Civil Code.

Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure .  Subject to the terms of any separate written agreement with a tenant, in the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Trustor or Trustor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property by, through or under Trustor are occupying or using the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser.  In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for forcible entry and detainer of said property in the appropriate court having jurisdiction.
 
7.
MISCELLANEOUS .
 
 
7.1
Defeasance .  If all of the Indebtedness is paid as the same becomes due and payable and if all of the covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Deed of Trust are kept and performed, then and in that event only, all rights under this Deed of Trust shall terminate and the Deed of Trust shall be reconveyed by Lender in due form at Trustor’s cost.
 
 
7.2
Successor Trustee .  From time to time, by an instrument signed and acknowledged by Beneficiary, referring to this Deed of Trust filed for record as required by law, Beneficiary may appoint another trustee to act in the place and stead of Trustee.  The recordation of such instrument shall discharge Trustee herein named and shall appoint the new trustee as the Trustee hereunder.  An instrument so recorded shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such new trustee, who shall then have all the title, powers, duties and rights of Trustee hereunder, without necessity of any conveyance from such predecessor, with the same effect as if originally named Trustee herein.  In the event the Indebtedness is owned by more than one person or entity, the holders of not less than a majority in the amount of such Indebtedness shall have the right and authority to make the appointment of a successor or substitute Trustee provided for in the preceding sentence.  Such appointment and designation by Lender or by the holder or holders of not less than a majority of the Indebtedness shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited.  If Lender is a state or national banking association or corporation and such appointment is executed in its behalf by an officer of such association or corporation, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation.  Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Mortgaged Property shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee and he shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the successor or substitute Trustee, Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or substitute Trustee all of the estate and title in the Mortgaged Property of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute Trustee.  All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.  Trustor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or his successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
 
 
7.3
Liability and Indemnification of Trustee .  Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever (including, without limitation, Trustee’s negligence), except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  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 him hereunder, believed by him in good faith to be genuine.  All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder.   Trustor will reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify and save him harmless against, any and all liability and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may be incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder (as used herein, “Trustee” shall include, without limitation, the directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents of Trustee and any persons or entities owned or controlled by, owning or controlling or under common control or affiliated with Trustee).  The foregoing indemnity shall not terminate upon release, foreclosure or other termination of this Deed of Trust.
 
 
7.4
Waiver by Lender .  Lender may at any time and from time to time in writing (a) waive compliance by Trustor with any covenant herein made by Trustor to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (b) consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, to Trustor doing any act which hereunder Trustor is prohibited from doing, or consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, to Trustor failing to do any act which hereunder Trustor is required to do, to the extent and in the manner specified in such writing; (c) release any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein, from the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust without the joinder of Trustee; or (d) release any party liable, either directly or indirectly, for the Indebtedness or for any covenant herein or in any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter securing the payment of the Indebtedness, without impairing or releasing the liability of any other party.  No such act shall in any way impair the rights of Lender hereunder except to the extent specifically agreed to by Lender in such writing.
 
 
7.5
Actions by Lender .  The lien, security interest and other security rights of Lender hereunder shall not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Lender, including but not limited to (a) any renewal, extension, increase or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Indebtedness; (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant in respect of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein; or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Indebtedness.  The taking of additional security by Lender shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security rights of Lender hereunder or affect the liability of Trustor or of any endorser or guarantor or other surety or improve the rights of any permitted junior lienholder in the Mortgaged Property.
 
 
7.6
Rights of Lender .  Lender may waive any Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Default.  Lender may remedy any Default without waiving the Default remedied.  Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Default shall be construed as a waiver of such Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date.  No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time.  No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Trustor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified.  No notice to nor demand on Trustor in any case shall of itself entitle Trustor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a Default hereunder.
 
 
7.7
Notification of Account Debtors .  Lender may at any time after Default by Trustor notify the account debtors or obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness included in the Personal Property to pay Lender directly.

7.14
Application of Indebtedness .  If any part of the Indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Deed of Trust or if any part of the Mortgaged Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of the Indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said Indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is unsecured by this Deed of Trust.
 
 
7.15
Usury .  This Deed of Trust has been executed under, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, except as such laws are preempted by federal law.  This Deed of Trust and all of the other Loan Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable usury laws.  If any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance nor the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained shall be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Trustor and Lender to at all times comply with the usury and other applicable laws now or hereafter governing the interest payable on the Indebtedness.  If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Indebtedness, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, or if any prepayment of the Indebtedness results in the payment of any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is the express intent of Trustor and Lender that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note and all of such other Indebtedness have been paid in full, refunded), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectable hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest lawful amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder.  All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, for the use, forbearance, detention, taking, charging, receiving or reserving on the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable thereto (the " Maximum Rate ") for so long as debt is outstanding under the Indebtedness.  To the extent federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, receive, reserve or take a greater amount of interest, Lender will rely on federal law instead of such article, as amended, for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate.  Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the Maximum Rate under such article, as amended, or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Trustor as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
 
 
7.16
Notice .  Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted hereunder, or under the Note, or under any of the other Loan Documents (unless otherwise expressly provided therein) shall be given in writing by (a) personal delivery, (b) expedited delivery service (including Federal Express or other comparable services) with proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the intended addressee at the address shown in this Deed of Trust, or to such different address as the addressee shall have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith, and shall be deemed to have been given and received either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or in the case of mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein.
 
 
7.17
Heirs, Successors and Assigns .  The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Trustor and the heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of Trustor, including all successors-in-interest of Trustor in and to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Lender and their respective heirs, successors, substitutes and assigns and shall constitute covenants running with the Land.  All references in this Deed of Trust to Trustor, Trustee, or Lender shall be deemed to include all such heirs, devisees, representatives, successors, substitutes, and assigns.
 
 
7.18
Severability .  A determination that any provision of this Deed of Trust is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and any determination that the application of any provision of this Deed of Trust to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
 
 
7.19
Gender and Number .  Within this Deed of Trust, words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held and construed to include the plural and words in the plural number shall be held and construed to include the singular, unless in each instance the context otherwise requires.
 
 
7.20
Counterparts .  This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.  All such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.
 
7.21  
Joint and Several .  Where two or more persons or entities have executed this Deed of Trust, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the term " Trustor " as used in this Deed of Trust means the Trustors hereunder or either or any of them and the obligations of Trustor hereunder shall be joint and several.
 
 
7.22
Reporting Requirements .  Trustor agrees to comply with any and all reporting requirements applicable to the transaction evidenced by the Note and secured by this Deed of Trust which are set forth in any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or determination of any governmental authority, including but not limited to The International Investment Survey Act of 1976, The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978, The Foreign Investment in Real Mortgaged Property Tax Act of 1980 and the Tax Reform Act of 1984 and further agrees upon request of Lender to furnish Lender with evidence of such compliance.
 
 
7.22
Headings .  The Section headings contained in this Deed of Trust are for convenience only and shall in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several Sections hereof.
 
 
7.23
Consent of Lender .  Except where otherwise provided herein, in any instance hereunder where the approval, consent or the exercise of judgment of Lender is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, and Lender shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment in any particular manner, regardless of the reasonableness of either the request or Lender’s judgment.
 
 
7.24
Modification or Termination .  The Loan Documents may only be modified or terminated by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the modification or termination is asserted.  Any alleged modification or termination that is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.  Trustor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents made by Lender and any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, with or without notice to or consent of Trustor, and no such modification shall impair the obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust or under any other Loan Document.
 
 
7.25
Negation of Partnership .  Nothing contained in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture, or association between Trustor and Lender, or in any way make Lender a co-principal with Trustor with reference to the Mortgaged Property, and any inferences to the contrary are hereby expressly negated.
 
 
7.26
Entire Agreement .  The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Trustor and Lender with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Indebtedness and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Trustor and Lender with respect thereto.  Trustor hereby acknowledges that, except as incorporated in writing in the Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no persons are or were authorized by Lender to make, any representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the transaction which is the subject of the Loan Documents.
 
 
7.27
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  THE TRUSTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS.  THE TRUSTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.
 
 
7.28
The limitations on liability contained in Section 10 of the Note are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and, except as provided therein, there shall be no personal liability hereunder to Trustor.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
 
US $7,250,000.00                                                                                                       Colorado Springs, Colorado
 
February 27, 2013

This Amended and Restated Promissory Note amends and restates and consolidates that certain Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust, dated as of March 21, 2007 (the " Original Note "), in the original principal amount of $11,000,000, by NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, previously NetREIT, a California corporation (“ Original Borrower ”), in favor of National Integrity Life Insurance Company, a New York corporation (" Lender "), as assumed by NetREIT Garden Gateway LP, a California limited partnership (" Borrower ") pursuant to that certain Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2010, by and among Original Borrower, Borrower, Lender and R&R Enterprises, and Indiana partnership, as evidenced by that certain Memorandum of Loan Assumption, dated as of March 19, 2010, by and between Borrower, as trustor, and Lender, as beneficiary, and recorded May 10, 2010 under Reception No. 210043360 in the Official Records of the County of El Paso, State of Colorado   (all documents evidencing such assumption being referred to collectively herein as the “ Assumption Documents ”), as amended by that certain Loan Extension and Modification Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “ Loan Modification ”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay Lender at its home office located at 400 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio  45202 or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Seven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($7,250,000.00) (the “ Loan ”), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “ Note ”).

1.  
INTEREST RATE .
 
 
1.1.
Fixed Rate .   Effective as of February 5, 2013, the unpaid principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at the rate (the “ Contract Rate ”) of five percent (5.00%) per annum.
 
 
1.2
Calculation of Interest .   All interest payable under this Note shall be paid in arrears and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, 30-day month, except that first and last month shall be calculated by the actual number of days principal is outstanding.  Under no circumstances shall the interest, fees, and charges collected or to be collected under this Note exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by applicable law.  If any such law is interpreted so that said interest, fees, and/or charges would exceed any such maximum, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law, then:
 
 
(i)
such interest, fees, and/or charges shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the same to the permitted maximum; and
 
 
(ii)
any sums already collected from Borrower that exceed the permitted maximum will be refunded.  Lender may choose to make any refund either by treating the payments, to the extent of the excess, as prepayment of principal or by making a direct payment to Borrower.  No prepayment premium shall be assessed on prepayments under this subsection.  The provisions of this subsection shall control over any inconsistent provision of this Note or any other Loan Documents (as defined in Section 6 below).
 

2.  
MANNER OF PAYMENT .   Principal and interest shall be payable in installments as follows:
 
 
2.1
Commencing March 5, 2013, and on the fifth (5 th ) day of each succeeding month throughout the term of this Note, Borrower shall make level monthly payments of principal and interest of Forty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Two and 78/100 Dollars ($42,382.78).  Borrower understands that the first payment will include principal, interest under the balance hereof, and interest on principal being repaid under the Original Note as of the date hereof.
 
 
2.2
The entire unpaid principal balance on this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note and under any document securing this Note (collectively, the " Indebtedness ") shall be due and payable on February 5, 2020 (the " Maturity Date "), if not sooner paid.
 
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PAYMENT OF ALL SUMS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE.
 
3.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS .   All payments received from, or on behalf of, Borrower shall be applied in the following order: (i) to any advancements of, or funds established for, payment of any insurance costs or premiums, taxes, assessments, or other advances or to any unpaid charges or fees as provided for in this Note or any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in Section 6 below), together with interest thereon at the “Default Rate” (as defined herein); (ii) any late charges as set forth in this Note;   (iii) to any prepayment premiums payable pursuant to this Note; (iv) to interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note; and then (v) to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.   Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of any partial payment hereunder, Lender shall have the sole right and authority to determine which portion of the Indebtedness any such partial payment made by Borrower and received by Lender hereunder may be applied against, if any; provided, however, that, nothing in the foregoing shall impose upon Lender any duty or obligation to accept or apply any partial payment received by Lender hereunder or under the “Deed of Trust” (as defined in Section 6 below).
 
4.
LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST RATE .   Borrower recognizes that a default by Borrower in making the payments agreed to be paid under this Note and pursuant to the Deed of Trust when due, including any agreed Lender charges or fees, shall result in Lender incurring additional expense in servicing the Loan, in loss to Lender of the use of the money due, and in frustration to Lender in meeting its loan commitments.  Borrower therefore agrees as follows:
 
 
4.1
Borrower shall pay, on demand, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each delinquent sum (the " Late Payment Charge ") if any monthly installment or other payment is not paid by the date when such payment is due.  An additional sum of five percent (5%) of any delinquent sum shall be charged for each successive month that the monthly installment or other payment remains past due and shall be incurred on the fifth (5th) day of each month without a daily pro rata adjustment for payment made after the fifth (5th) day of the month.  Acceptance of such late charge by Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount and shall not prevent Lender from exercising any other rights and remedies available to it.  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lender's option upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in paragraph 8 below), the Late Payment Charge shall not thereafter continue to apply; provided, however, that in either such event, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate as set forth below.
 
4.2  
Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in Section 8 below) (including failure to pay the outstanding principal balance hereof upon the Maturity Date), the Loan shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at a default rate equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate of interest allowable under the laws of the state where the Property is located or (ii) the Contract Rate plus five (5) percentage points per annum (the “ Default Rate ”).  The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on the Note.
 
4.3  
Borrower agrees that both the Late Payment Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments or other defaults under the terms of this Note and any other Loan Documents and that such charges are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies under this Note, under any other Loan Documents, or under applicable law and any reasonable fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys that the Lender may employ.  Borrower further acknowledges that the Late Payment Charge and Default Rate hereunder represent the reasonable estimate of those damages which would be incurred by Lender, and a fair return to Lender for the loss of the use of the funds not timely received from Borrower on account of a default by Borrower as herein specified, established by Borrower and Lender through good faith consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding the transaction contemplated under this Note as of the date hereof. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default.  Borrower and Lender agree that such Late Payment Charge and Default Rate represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the anticipated and actual losses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment and default, and that the actual harm incurred by Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
 
5.
PREPAYMENTS .   Borrower shall not have the privilege to prepay, and Lender shall not have an obligation to accept tendered prepayments of, the whole or any portion of the Loan, except as expressly stated below.
 
 
5.1
Upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the privilege to fully prepay the Indebtedness, provided that Borrower simultaneously pays to Lender a premium (the “ Prepayment Premium ”) equal to the greater of:
 
 
(a)
the sum of (i) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments on this Note from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date and (ii) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date of this Note (assuming all scheduled monthly payments due prior to the Maturity Date were made when due); minus (iii) the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.  The present values described in (i) and (ii) are to be computed on a monthly basis as of the date of prepayment, discounted at the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond that is closest in maturity with a price closest to 100 to the Maturity Date of this Note, as reported in The Wall Street Journal , absent manifest error, on the fifth (5 th ) business day preceding the date of prepayment; or
 
 
(b)
one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.
 
 
5.2
In the event that (i) Lender exercises its right to accelerate the Maturity Date following an Event of Default by Borrower in any of the terms of this Note or any other Loan Documents, or (ii) payment is tendered of the full amount due at any time prior to a foreclosure sale or other similar proceeding, either by Borrower, its successors, or assigns or by anyone on its behalf, it shall be deemed by the Lender that such events shall constitute an evasion of the Prepayment Premium and to be a voluntary prepayment; therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such prepayment shall include the premium required to be paid under Section 5.1 above.
 
 
5.3
Notwithstanding Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, (a) provided that Borrower gives not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of its intent to prepay, Borrower shall have the privilege to prepay this Note in full, without any prepayment premium, at any time on or after November 5, 2019, and (b) no Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable in the event Lender elects to apply any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable with respect to the “Property” (defined in Section 6 below) to the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust.
 
 
5.4
The prepayment premium required by this Section 5 is acknowledged by Borrower to be partial compensation to Lender for the cost of reinvesting the Loan proceeds and for the loss of the contracted rate of return on the Loan.  Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of such a prepayment by Borrower is not susceptible of precise calculation and the prepayment premium represents the good faith effort of Borrower and Lender to compensate Lender for such loss.
 
 
5.5
No partial prepayments shall be permitted except with the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.   In the event that a partial prepayment is permitted by Lender in writing, the Prepayment Premium shall be pro rated based on the amount of the principal prepaid.
 
6.
SECURITY .   This Note is given for the Loan in the above amount and is secured by the Deed of Trust to Public Trustee, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing in favor of Lender and dated as of March 21, 2007 (the " Deed of Trust "), as assumed by Borrower pursuant to the Assumption Documents, which Deed of Trust is a first lien on certain real and personal property located in El Paso County, Colorado and more fully described in the Deed of Trust (the " Property ").  The Deed of Trust, this Note, and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Loan Documents .”  Borrower hereby agrees to perform and comply with each of the terms, covenants and provisions contained in this Note and in all other Loan Documents, all such terms, covenants and provisions being hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this Note.  The term “ Property ” shall mean both the real and personal property that is encumbered by the Deed of Trust.
 
7.  
DISBURSEMENTS .   Funds representing the proceeds of the Loan and evidenced by this Note that are disbursed by wire transfer, or other delivery to Borrower, to escrows, or otherwise delivered for the benefit of Borrower shall, for all purposes, be deemed outstanding under this Note and to have been received by Borrower as of the date of such wire transfer or other delivery, and interest shall accrue and be payable upon such funds from and after the date of such wire transfer or delivery and until repaid to Lender, notwithstanding the fact that such funds may not, at any time, have been received or remitted by such escrows to Borrower.
 
8.  
DEFAULT .   The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed an “ Event of Default ” under this Note: an Event of Default has occurred as defined in the Deed of Trust.

9.  
REMEDIES . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, if any, then (i) the entire Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without further notice (which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), at the option of Lender, and (ii) Lender may exercise any rights or remedies available to it under this Note and the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.  The remedies of the Lender as provided in this Note and the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against the Borrower, the Property, any guarantor or indemnitor of this Note, and/or any other security at the sole discretion of the Lender.  Time is of the essence.

 
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection when incurred (which costs and expenses may be added to the principal balance due under this Note and be receivable therewith), including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.  Such attorneys’ fees and costs shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable fees and costs incurred in all matters of collection and enforcement, construction, protection, and interpretation before and after suit, trial, proceedings and appeals, as well as appearance in and connected with any bankruptcy proceedings or creditors' reorganization or arrangement proceedings.
 
10.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY .   Except as otherwise provided herein and in the Loan Documents, in the event Lender should take action at any time to enforce the collection of the Loan, Lender may exercise any remedy it may have against the Property, including without limitation, foreclosing on the Deed of Trust.
 
10.1  
If Lender elects to foreclose the Deed of Trust, and, as a result of the foreclosure and sale of the Property, a lesser sum is realized from the sale of the Property than the amount due and owing on the Indebtedness, Lender shall not seek or obtain any deficiency or other money judgment against Borrower, it being understood and agreed that Borrower and all partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests in Borrower shall have no personal liability for the payment of the Indebtedness, and the Indebtedness shall be considered nonrecourse to Borrower, its partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests, except as provided in Section 10.2 below and in any other Loan Document.
 
10.2

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE
AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
 
US $7,250,000.00                                                                                                       Colorado Springs, Colorado
 
February 27, 2013

This Amended and Restated Promissory Note amends and restates and consolidates that certain Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust, dated as of March 21, 2007 (the " Original Note "), in the original principal amount of $11,000,000, by NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, previously NetREIT, a California corporation (“ Original Borrower ”), in favor of National Integrity Life Insurance Company, a New York corporation (" Lender "), as assumed by NetREIT Garden Gateway LP, a California limited partnership (" Borrower ") pursuant to that certain Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2010, by and among Original Borrower, Borrower, Lender and R&R Enterprises, and Indiana partnership, as evidenced by that certain Memorandum of Loan Assumption, dated as of March 19, 2010, by and between Borrower, as trustor, and Lender, as beneficiary, and recorded May 10, 2010 under Reception No. 210043360 in the Official Records of the County of El Paso, State of Colorado   (all documents evidencing such assumption being referred to collectively herein as the “ Assumption Documents ”), as amended by that certain Loan Extension and Modification Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “ Loan Modification ”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay Lender at its home office located at 400 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio  45202 or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of Seven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($7,250,000.00) (the “ Loan ”), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “ Note ”).

1.  
INTEREST RATE .
 
 
1.1.
Fixed Rate .   Effective as of February 5, 2013, the unpaid principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at the rate (the “ Contract Rate ”) of five percent (5.00%) per annum.
 
 
1.2
Calculation of Interest .   All interest payable under this Note shall be paid in arrears and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, 30-day month, except that first and last month shall be calculated by the actual number of days principal is outstanding.  Under no circumstances shall the interest, fees, and charges collected or to be collected under this Note exceed the maximum, if any, permitted by applicable law.  If any such law is interpreted so that said interest, fees, and/or charges would exceed any such maximum, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of such law, then:
 
 
(i)
such interest, fees, and/or charges shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the same to the permitted maximum; and
 
 
(ii)
any sums already collected from Borrower that exceed the permitted maximum will be refunded.  Lender may choose to make any refund either by treating the payments, to the extent of the excess, as prepayment of principal or by making a direct payment to Borrower.  No prepayment premium shall be assessed on prepayments under this subsection.  The provisions of this subsection shall control over any inconsistent provision of this Note or any other Loan Documents (as defined in Section 6 below).
 

2.  
MANNER OF PAYMENT .   Principal and interest shall be payable in installments as follows:
 
 
2.1
Commencing March 5, 2013, and on the fifth (5 th ) day of each succeeding month throughout the term of this Note, Borrower shall make level monthly payments of principal and interest of Forty-Two Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Two and 78/100 Dollars ($42,382.78).  Borrower understands that the first payment will include principal, interest under the balance hereof, and interest on principal being repaid under the Original Note as of the date hereof.
 
 
2.2
The entire unpaid principal balance on this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums due under this Note and under any document securing this Note (collectively, the " Indebtedness ") shall be due and payable on February 5, 2020 (the " Maturity Date "), if not sooner paid.
 
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PAYMENT OF ALL SUMS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE.
 
3.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS .   All payments received from, or on behalf of, Borrower shall be applied in the following order: (i) to any advancements of, or funds established for, payment of any insurance costs or premiums, taxes, assessments, or other advances or to any unpaid charges or fees as provided for in this Note or any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in Section 6 below), together with interest thereon at the “Default Rate” (as defined herein); (ii) any late charges as set forth in this Note;   (iii) to any prepayment premiums payable pursuant to this Note; (iv) to interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note; and then (v) to the unpaid principal balance of this Note.   Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of any partial payment hereunder, Lender shall have the sole right and authority to determine which portion of the Indebtedness any such partial payment made by Borrower and received by Lender hereunder may be applied against, if any; provided, however, that, nothing in the foregoing shall impose upon Lender any duty or obligation to accept or apply any partial payment received by Lender hereunder or under the “Deed of Trust” (as defined in Section 6 below).
 
4.
LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST RATE .   Borrower recognizes that a default by Borrower in making the payments agreed to be paid under this Note and pursuant to the Deed of Trust when due, including any agreed Lender charges or fees, shall result in Lender incurring additional expense in servicing the Loan, in loss to Lender of the use of the money due, and in frustration to Lender in meeting its loan commitments.  Borrower therefore agrees as follows:
 
 
4.1
Borrower shall pay, on demand, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each delinquent sum (the " Late Payment Charge ") if any monthly installment or other payment is not paid by the date when such payment is due.  An additional sum of five percent (5%) of any delinquent sum shall be charged for each successive month that the monthly installment or other payment remains past due and shall be incurred on the fifth (5th) day of each month without a daily pro rata adjustment for payment made after the fifth (5th) day of the month.  Acceptance of such late charge by Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue amount and shall not prevent Lender from exercising any other rights and remedies available to it.  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lender's option upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in paragraph 8 below), the Late Payment Charge shall not thereafter continue to apply; provided, however, that in either such event, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate as set forth below.
 
4.2  
Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in Section 8 below) (including failure to pay the outstanding principal balance hereof upon the Maturity Date), the Loan shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full at a default rate equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate of interest allowable under the laws of the state where the Property is located or (ii) the Contract Rate plus five (5) percentage points per annum (the “ Default Rate ”).  The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on the Note.
 
4.3  
Borrower agrees that both the Late Payment Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments or other defaults under the terms of this Note and any other Loan Documents and that such charges are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies under this Note, under any other Loan Documents, or under applicable law and any reasonable fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys that the Lender may employ.  Borrower further acknowledges that the Late Payment Charge and Default Rate hereunder represent the reasonable estimate of those damages which would be incurred by Lender, and a fair return to Lender for the loss of the use of the funds not timely received from Borrower on account of a default by Borrower as herein specified, established by Borrower and Lender through good faith consideration of the facts and circumstances surrounding the transaction contemplated under this Note as of the date hereof. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default.  Borrower and Lender agree that such Late Payment Charge and Default Rate represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the anticipated and actual losses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment and default, and that the actual harm incurred by Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
 
5.
PREPAYMENTS .   Borrower shall not have the privilege to prepay, and Lender shall not have an obligation to accept tendered prepayments of, the whole or any portion of the Loan, except as expressly stated below.
 
 
5.1
Upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the privilege to fully prepay the Indebtedness, provided that Borrower simultaneously pays to Lender a premium (the “ Prepayment Premium ”) equal to the greater of:
 
 
(a)
the sum of (i) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments on this Note from the date of prepayment to the Maturity Date and (ii) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date of this Note (assuming all scheduled monthly payments due prior to the Maturity Date were made when due); minus (iii) the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.  The present values described in (i) and (ii) are to be computed on a monthly basis as of the date of prepayment, discounted at the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond that is closest in maturity with a price closest to 100 to the Maturity Date of this Note, as reported in The Wall Street Journal , absent manifest error, on the fifth (5 th ) business day preceding the date of prepayment; or
 
 
(b)
one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of the date of prepayment.
 
 
5.2
In the event that (i) Lender exercises its right to accelerate the Maturity Date following an Event of Default by Borrower in any of the terms of this Note or any other Loan Documents, or (ii) payment is tendered of the full amount due at any time prior to a foreclosure sale or other similar proceeding, either by Borrower, its successors, or assigns or by anyone on its behalf, it shall be deemed by the Lender that such events shall constitute an evasion of the Prepayment Premium and to be a voluntary prepayment; therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such prepayment shall include the premium required to be paid under Section 5.1 above.
 
 
5.3
Notwithstanding Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, (a) provided that Borrower gives not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of its intent to prepay, Borrower shall have the privilege to prepay this Note in full, without any prepayment premium, at any time on or after November 5, 2019, and (b) no Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable in the event Lender elects to apply any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable with respect to the “Property” (defined in Section 6 below) to the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust.
 
 
5.4
The prepayment premium required by this Section 5 is acknowledged by Borrower to be partial compensation to Lender for the cost of reinvesting the Loan proceeds and for the loss of the contracted rate of return on the Loan.  Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the loss that may be sustained by Lender as a result of such a prepayment by Borrower is not susceptible of precise calculation and the prepayment premium represents the good faith effort of Borrower and Lender to compensate Lender for such loss.
 
 
5.5
No partial prepayments shall be permitted except with the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.   In the event that a partial prepayment is permitted by Lender in writing, the Prepayment Premium shall be pro rated based on the amount of the principal prepaid.
 
6.
SECURITY .   This Note is given for the Loan in the above amount and is secured by the Deed of Trust to Public Trustee, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing in favor of Lender and dated as of March 21, 2007 (the " Deed of Trust "), as assumed by Borrower pursuant to the Assumption Documents, which Deed of Trust is a first lien on certain real and personal property located in El Paso County, Colorado and more fully described in the Deed of Trust (the " Property ").  The Deed of Trust, this Note, and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Loan Documents .”  Borrower hereby agrees to perform and comply with each of the terms, covenants and provisions contained in this Note and in all other Loan Documents, all such terms, covenants and provisions being hereby made a part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this Note.  The term “ Property ” shall mean both the real and personal property that is encumbered by the Deed of Trust.
 
7.  
DISBURSEMENTS .   Funds representing the proceeds of the Loan and evidenced by this Note that are disbursed by wire transfer, or other delivery to Borrower, to escrows, or otherwise delivered for the benefit of Borrower shall, for all purposes, be deemed outstanding under this Note and to have been received by Borrower as of the date of such wire transfer or other delivery, and interest shall accrue and be payable upon such funds from and after the date of such wire transfer or delivery and until repaid to Lender, notwithstanding the fact that such funds may not, at any time, have been received or remitted by such escrows to Borrower.
 
8.  
DEFAULT .   The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed an “ Event of Default ” under this Note: an Event of Default has occurred as defined in the Deed of Trust.

9.  
REMEDIES . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable cure period, if any, then (i) the entire Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without further notice (which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), at the option of Lender, and (ii) Lender may exercise any rights or remedies available to it under this Note and the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.  The remedies of the Lender as provided in this Note and the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against the Borrower, the Property, any guarantor or indemnitor of this Note, and/or any other security at the sole discretion of the Lender.  Time is of the essence.

 
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection when incurred (which costs and expenses may be added to the principal balance due under this Note and be receivable therewith), including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.  Such attorneys’ fees and costs shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable fees and costs incurred in all matters of collection and enforcement, construction, protection, and interpretation before and after suit, trial, proceedings and appeals, as well as appearance in and connected with any bankruptcy proceedings or creditors' reorganization or arrangement proceedings.
 
10.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY .   Except as otherwise provided herein and in the Loan Documents, in the event Lender should take action at any time to enforce the collection of the Loan, Lender may exercise any remedy it may have against the Property, including without limitation, foreclosing on the Deed of Trust.
 
10.1  
If Lender elects to foreclose the Deed of Trust, and, as a result of the foreclosure and sale of the Property, a lesser sum is realized from the sale of the Property than the amount due and owing on the Indebtedness, Lender shall not seek or obtain any deficiency or other money judgment against Borrower, it being understood and agreed that Borrower and all partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests in Borrower shall have no personal liability for the payment of the Indebtedness, and the Indebtedness shall be considered nonrecourse to Borrower, its partners, members, stockholders, or holders of beneficial interests, except as provided in Section 10.2 below and in any other Loan Document.
 
10.2  
The foregoing provisions of Section 10.1 notwithstanding, Lender shall have full recourse against Borrower and guarantors, if any, and the same shall be personally liable, jointly and severally (and Lender shall not be restricted from obtaining any monetary or other judgment against such persons and entities) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement by Original Borrower, dated as of March 21, 2007, assumed by Borrower pursuant to the Assumption Documents, and Lender shall have full recourse against Borrower and guarantors, if any, and the same shall be personally liable, jointly and severally (and Lender shall not be restricted from obtaining any monetary or other judgment against such persons and entities) to the extent of any loss, cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or liability (collectively, the “ Recourse Obligations ”)   suffered by Lender as a result of:  (1) the Borrower misapplying, or failing to remit to Lender, any condemnation awards, casualty proceeds, or security deposits attributable to the Property; (2) any act of fraud or breach of any representation or warranty of the Borrower or any partner, member, or stockholder of the Borrower (or holder of a beneficial interest therein, whether direct or indirect) contained in the Loan Documents or any other agreement, certificate, or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents; (3) the Borrower collecting rents more than one (1) month in advance or the failure after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to apply the rents toward the normal and necessary operating expenses of the Property, the curing of any default, or in the manner and for the purposes provided in the Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Documents; (4) the presence, release, threatened release, treatment or removal of any Hazardous Materials (including asbestos) or any underground or other storage tanks at the Property; (5) the violation of applicable environmental laws relating to Hazardous Materials or underground storage tanks, and any lien against any portion of the Property permitted or imposed by any environmental law; (6) any diminution in value of the Property or other collateral or security for the Loan, arising from the waste (either intentional/active or permissive/passive) of the Borrower; (7) any casualty or loss that was self-insured or under-insured or any deductible amount under any insurance policy relating to the Property, including, without limitation, those relating to terrorism and/or mold coverage; (8) the failure by Borrower to insure the Property as required under the terms of the Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the failure to provide terrorism and/or mold coverage; (9) the failure by Borrower to pay any taxes or assessments on the Property; or (10) the filing of any bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding by Borrower.
 
 
10.3
The foregoing limitation on personal liability is not intended and shall not be deemed to constitute a forgiveness of the Indebtedness or a release of the obligation to repay said Indebtedness according to the terms and provisions hereof, but shall operate solely to limit the remedies otherwise available to the holder hereof for the enforcement and collection of such Indebtedness.

 
10.4
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.1, Lender's agreement that this Loan shall be non-recourse as provided in Section 10.1 shall be null and void, and the Loan shall be fully recourse, in the event of a default under Section 2.2.26 of the Deed of Trust.

11.
WAIVER; NO RELEASE .   The Borrower, any endorsers, sureties, guarantors, successors in interest, and all others who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation (i) severally waive presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, demand and dishonor, and nonpayment of this Note, (ii) expressly agree that the Maturity Date of this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of each, and (iii) agree that the Lender hereof may release all or any part of the Property or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness on the payment hereof or release any party liable for this obligation, and such extension or release may be made without notice to any of such parties and without discharging the liability of any such party.  The Borrower also waives, to the extent applicable, all defenses based upon suretyship or impairment of collateral.  It is further agreed that no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note or any of the Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender and any other person or party shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Borrower under this Note of the Loan Documents.  The right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to any demand on this Note, or any agreement to pay the same, or any demand secured by the Loan Documents, or any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Note or in the Loan Documents, is expressly waived by the Borrower and endorsers to the fullest extent permitted by law.  No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other remedy under this Note.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy on a future occasion.
 
12.  
CONTROLLING LAW .   This Note will be interpreted under, and the rights and liabilities of the Lender and the Borrower determined in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Property is located, excluding its conflict of laws rules.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in such state; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Note will prevent the Lender from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment, or exercising any rights against the Borrower individually, against any security, or against any property of the Borrower within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Lender and the Borrower.  The Borrower waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Note.
 
13.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; SEVERABILITY . If, under any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note conflicts with the mandatory requirements or prohibitions prescribed by any applicable statute or other applicable law with regard to obligations of like character or amount, then, to the fullest extent possible, this Note shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by any provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or otherwise contrary to law.  If any provision of this Note is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, all other provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect.
 
14.  
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .    THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THE BORROWER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS.  THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.
 
15.  
NOTICES .   All notices provided for or required by this Note shall be given as provided in the Loan Modification.
 
16.  
CAPTIONS .   The captions and headings of the Sections of this Note are for reference only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.
 
17.  
STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS .
 
 
18.1
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the loss which Lender may sustain from the late payment of any payment due under this Note may likely be difficult to prove, and that the amount of the late charge is reasonable and proportionate to the loss that Lender may sustain from any late payment.  Therefore, Borrower and Lender desire to liquidate the damages in advance to avoid such uncertainty.
 
 
18.2
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the loss which Lender may sustain from any default under this Note may likely be difficult to prove, and that the default interest rate is reasonable and proportionate to the loss that Lender may sustain from any default.  Therefore, Borrower and Lender desire to liquidate the damages in advance to avoid such uncertainty.
 
The Borrower acknowledges that it has read and understood all the provisions of this Note, including the waiver of jury trial, and has been advised by counsel as necessary or appropriate.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the day and year first above written.
