for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market. 

“Prime Rate” means the rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by the Payee as its prime rate. The Prime

and any successor thereto or other regulation or official interpretation of said Board of Governors relating to reserve requirements applicable to member banks of the Federal Reserve System.

other reserves) which is imposed under Regulation D. 
 All other capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning
given such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 2.3. Interest Limitation Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything in this
Note to the contrary, if at any time (i) interest at the Applicable Rate, and (ii) the Charges computed over the full term of this Note, exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, then the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all
Charges, shall be limited to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that any subsequent reduction in the Applicable Rate shall not cause a reduction of the rate of interest payable hereunder below the Maximum Lawful Rate until the total amount
of interest earned hereunder, together with all Charges, equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued at the Applicable Rate if such interest rate had at all times been in effect. Changes in the Applicable Rate resulting from a
change in the Prime Rate shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph. 
 2.4. Computation Period.
Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue on the actual number of days any principal balance hereof is outstanding. 

2.5. LIBOR Election. If Maker elects to have the LIBOR Adjusted Rate apply, it shall advise Payee in writing by delivery to
Payee of the LIBOR Election Notice attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, of its election and the LIBOR Period and LIBOR Increment for which Maker desires said rate to apply not later than 10:00 a.m., Central Standard Time or Central
Daylight Time (as applicable), two (2) Business Days prior to the LIBOR Period Commencement Date. Any such election may be made only while no Event of Default is in existence. After Maker has designated a LIBOR Increment to which


  
 PROMISSORY NOTE
– Page 3 








 
the LIBOR Adjusted Rate shall apply, such rate shall apply to the LIBOR Increment for the duration of the LIBOR Period. If Maker elects the LIBOR Adjusted Rate, but the applicable LIBOR Period
will commence on a date which is not a Business Day, such LIBOR Period shall be deemed to commence on the next Business Day after it would otherwise commence, and any interest which accrues hereunder in the interim shall accrue at the Applicable
Rate. At any one time during the term hereof, no more than five (5) LIBOR Increments may be outstanding under this Note. 
 2.5.1 Failure of Election. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Maker elects the LIBOR Adjusted Rate to apply, but Payee would be unable for any reason to obtain funds or
a quote for funds in accordance with the terms of this Note in the amount of the LIBOR Increment elected for the applicable LIBOR Period and LIBOR Period Commencement Date elected, interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
accrue at the CB Floating Rate unless and until an election, in accordance with the provisions hereof, of a new BAR Adjusted Rate, LIBOR Increment, LIBOR Period and LIBOR Period Commencement Date is made by Maker, and Payee is then able to obtain
such funds or a quote for funds in accordance with the terms of this Note. In the absence of an effective election by Maker of the LIBOR Adjusted Rate in accordance with the above procedures prior to the expiration of the then current LIBOR Period
with respect to any LIBOR Increment, interest on such LIBOR Increment shall accrue at the CB Floating Rate, effective immediately upon the expiration of such LIBOR Period. 

2.5.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note to the contrary, if it becomes unlawful
for Payee to honor its obligation to allow all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof to accrue interest based on the LIBOR Rate, then Payee shall promptly notify Maker thereof and Payee’s obligation to allow interest to
accrue based on the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until such time as Payee may again allow interest to accrue based upon the LIBOR Rate. If the obligation of Payee to allow interest to accrue based upon the LIBOR Rate is so suspended, all
indebtedness evidenced hereby then accruing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate shall automatically convert to interest based on the CB Floating Rate on the last days(s) of the then current LIBOR Period(s) for such indebtedness or on such earlier
date as Payee may specify to Maker. 
  

	3.	PAYMENTS. 

 3.1.
Payment Schedule. Interest, calculated on a daily basis, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each December, March, June and September, commencing on September 1, 2011, and continuing on the first day of each
successive December, March, June and September thereafter until the Maturity Date, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable in full. The aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Note plus all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. 
 3.2. Application. All payments
on this Note shall, prior to an Event of Default, be applied in the following order: (i) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest hereon, (ii) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the principal
hereof and interest hereon) for which Maker shall be obligated or Payee entitled pursuant to the provisions hereof or of the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance then outstanding hereunder,
in either the direct, or inverse, order of maturity. After an Event of Default, all payments on the Note shall, at the sole option of Payee, be applied from time to time and in any order, to the foregoing items.

 3.3. Place. All payments hereunder shall be made to Payee at JP MORGAN CHASE
BANK, N.A., 10 South Dearborn Street, MC: IL1-1235, Chicago, Illinois 60603-2003, or as Payee may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. 
 3.4. Business Days. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which Payee is not open for normal business,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day of Payee. Any such extension of time for payment shall be included in computing interest which has accrued and shall be payable in connection with such payment. 

3.5. Legal Tender. All amounts payable hereunder are payable in lawful money or legal tender of the United States of
America. 
 3.6. Prepayments. 

3.6.1 Maker shall have the right prior to the Maturity Date, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice and
upon receipt of any required regulatory approval, to prepay all or any portion (except any portion constituting a LIBOR Increment during its applicable LIBOR Period) of the principal balance owing hereunder from time to time; provided, however, that
(a) if such prepayment is only a partial payment of the then outstanding principal balance hereof, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on the portion of the outstanding principal balance of the
Note being so paid through the date the prepayment is made, and (b) for same day credit all monies shall be received at Payee’s office as specified in Section 3.3 hereof on or before 12:00 noon, Central Standard Time or Central
Daylight Time (as applicable). All monies received after this time shall be deemed received on the following day and shall continue to accrue interest at the Applicable Rate to the date funds are deemed received. 

3.6.2 Maker shall have the right to prepay any LIBOR Increment only upon payment to Payee, at the time of such
prepayment, of an amount equal to all costs, fees and penalties which would be incurred in the breaking of a LIBOR contract (whether then actually in existence or a hypothetical contract similar to the typical LIBOR contracts then in existence) by
Payee in connection with such prepayment, such amounts to include that sum which is equal to the excess of (i) the interest that would have been payable by Maker for such LIBOR Increment for the remainder of the applicable LIBOR Period at the
applicable LIBOR Rate had such prepayment not been made by Maker, over (ii) the interest to be earned on sums equal to the amount of such BAR Increment for the remainder of the applicable LIBOR Period as invested by Payee in an interest bearing
obligation of Payee’s selection, in its sole and absolute discretion. In addition, in any such event, the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence (relating to the obligation of Maker to pay to Payee certain amounts in the event of the
prepayment of a LIBOR Increment prior to the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period) shall apply with respect to any LIBOR Increment prepaid by Maker prior to the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period as a result of the acceleration by Payee of
the outstanding principal balance hereof 
 3.7. Late Charge. In addition to the payments otherwise specified
herein, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof, if Maker fails, refuses or neglects to pay, in full, any installment or portion of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, within ten (10) days after same shall be due and payable,
then Maker shall be obligated to pay to Payee a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent payment to compensate Payee for Maker’s default and the additional costs and administrative efforts required by reason
of such default; provided, however, Payee will apply any late charge fee collected from Maker to the amount of interest charged at the Default Rate which covers the period for which such late charge was collected.

	4.	DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. 

 4.1. Default. An Event of Default shall occur hereunder if (i) Maker shall fail, refuse or neglect to pay, in full, any installment or portion of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, within ten (10) days after the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof as stipulated herein, or upon acceleration (but without any grace period), or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined and used in any of
the other Loan Documents) shall occur under any of the other Loan Documents. 
 4.2. Remedies. If an Event
of Default shall occur under this Note, then Payee may, at its option, without notice or demand, declare the unpaid principal balance of, and the accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note immediately due and payable, foreclose all liens and security
interests securing payment hereof, pursue any and all other rights, remedies and recourses available to Payee or pursue any combination of the foregoing. All remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity shall be
cumulative. 
 4.3. Waiver. Except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, Maker and any endorsers
or guarantors hereof severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest and notice of protest and nonpayment, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action
to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and collateral securing payment hereof. Maker and any endorsers or guarantors hereof agree (i) that the time for any payments hereunder may be extended from time to
time without notice and consent, (ii) to the acceptance of further collateral, and/or (iii) the release of any existing collateral for the payment of this Note, all without in any manner affecting their liability under or with respect to
this Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note or any installment hereof shall affect the liability of Maker under this Note or any endorser or guarantor hereof even though the Maker or such endorser or guarantor is not a party to such
agreement. 
 4.4. No Waiver. Failure of Payee to exercise any of the options granted herein to Payee upon
the happening of one or more of the events giving rise to such options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other event. The acceptance by Payee of
any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the options granted herein to Payee at that time or at any subsequent
time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express written acknowledgment of the Payee. 
 4.5.
Collection Costs. Maker agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection hereof when incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted to enforce this Note.

 5.3. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS NOTE IS PERFORMABLE IN TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS. Any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Note against Maker or any other party ever liable for
payment of any sums of money payable on this Note may 

  
 PROMISSORY NOTE
– Page 7 








 
be brought in any state court located in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, or any federal court in Tarrant County, Texas. Maker and each such other party hereby irrevocably (i) submits to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. 

5.4. Interest Limitation. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Maker and Payee at all times to comply
with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on this Note or the indebtedness (“Indebtedness”) evidenced hereby or evidenced or secured by the other Loan Documents (or applicable United
States Federal law to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount
called for under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Indebtedness, or Payee’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note, or any
prepayment by Maker results in Maker having paid or Payee having received any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Maker’s and Payee’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Payee be
credited on the principal balance of this Note and all other Indebtedness (or, if this Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Maker), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents
immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of this Note, then Maker and Payee agree that Payee shall, with reasonable promptness after Payee
discovers or is advised by Maker that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Maker or credit such excess interest against any other Indebtedness then owing by Maker to Payee.
Maker hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Payee, that Maker will provide written notice to Payee, advising Payee in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Payee shall
have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Maker or crediting such excess interest against any other indebtedness then owing by Maker to Payee.
All sums contracted for, charged or received by Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the
Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no
event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Payee 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. As used herein, the
term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Payee in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United
States Federal law to the extent that it permits Payee to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction
evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees and charges, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Payee in connection with the transactions
relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness, which are treated as interest under applicable law. To the extent that Payee is relying on the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the
Indebtedness, Payee will utilize the “weekly ceiling” specified in Chapter 303 as the applicable ceiling, after taking into consideration all sums paid 

  
 PROMISSORY NOTE
– Page 8 








 
or agreed to be paid to Payee outside the provisions of this Note for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness. To the extent United States federal law permits Payee to contract for,
charge or receive a greater amount of interest, Payee will rely on United States federal law instead of the Texas Finance Code, for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or
hereinafter in effect, Payee may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the Maximum Lawful Rate under the Texas Finance Code as supplemented by the Texas Credit Code, as amended, or under other applicable law
by giving notice, if required, to Maker as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. Maker and Payee hereby agree that any and all suits alleging the contracting for, charging or receiving of usurious interest shall lie in Tarrant
County, Texas, and each irrevocably waive the right to venue in any other county. 
 5.5. Captions. The article
and section headings used in this Note are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect, alter or define the meaning or interpretation of the text of any article or section contained in this Note. 

5.6. Joint and Several Liability. If this Note is executed by more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and
severally liable for the obligations of Maker under this Note. If Maker is a partnership, each general partner of Maker shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. and each such general partner hereby waives any requirement of law that in the
event of a default hereunder Payee exhaust any assets of Maker before proceedings against such general partner’s assets. 
 5.7 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. THIS NOTE IS A RENEWAL, AS WELL AS AN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, BUT NOT AN EXTINGUISHMENT, OF THAT CERTAIN LINE OF CREDIT NOTE DATED AS JULY
29, 2010, IN THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $5,000,000.00 EXECUTED BY MAKER AND PAYABLE TO PAYEE’S PREDECESSOR. 
 5.8.
NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS NOTE AND ALL THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF MAKER AND PAYEE AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL,
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF MAKER AND PAYEE. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE.
The provisions of this Note and the Loan Documents may be amended or revised only by an instrument in writing signed by the Maker and Payee.
