a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries. There are no pending Environmental Proceedings, no
Environmental Proceedings have been threatened in writing against Borrower and to the knowledge of Borrower there are no facts

duly executed and delivered by Borrower and is the legally binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with its respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or limiting the rights of creditors’ and general equitable

Adverse Change.


 


(d)          The
execution and delivery of, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
does not constitute, upon the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, a breach or default under any other agreement to which
Borrower or its Subsidiaries is a party or may be bound or affected, or a violation of any Law or court order.


 


(e)          Borrower

is no default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower, nor any condition known to Borrower which, after

has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for defects

Bank has not received notice from any Bank Regulatory Authority that it is subject to any formal or informal enforcement action

reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender in connection
with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains
any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of

ARTICLE IV


LOAN AND LOAN DOCUMENTS


 


	4.1	Agreement to Borrow and Lend; Lender’s Obligation to Disburse.


 


Subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make one or more revolving credit loans
to Borrower from time to time from the date hereof to and including the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of the Loan Amount (as defined below). Subject to the foregoing limitations, and
the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder.


 




    	 	15



     


    

 


(a)          The
maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall not at any time exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the “Loan
Amount”).


 


(b)          Lender
agrees, upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Loan Opening and provided no
Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to Borrower or its Subsidiaries and no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder, to Open the Loan.


 


(c)          To
the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan, such acquiescence
shall not constitute a waiver by Lender, and Lender may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrower to comply with all
such requirements.


 


(d)          Bank
shall, prior to the Opening of the Loans, have a Depository Account, subject to the Bank’s compliance with Regulation F (12
CFR 206) and Bank’s internal policies related thereto.


 


(e)          Borrower
shall give Lender notice of each Revolving Credit Advance by means of an Advance Request Form containing the information required
therein and delivered (by hand or by mechanically confirmed facsimile) to Lender no later than 2:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) at
least one Business Day before the day on which the Revolving Credit Advances are desired to be funded. Revolving Credit Advances
shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000.00. Lender at its option may accept telephonic requests for such Revolving Credit Advances,
provided that such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require delivery of an Advance Request Form
in connection with subsequent Revolving Credit Advances. Any telephonic request for a Revolving Credit Advance by Borrower shall
be promptly confirmed by submission of a properly completed Advance Request Form to Lender, but failure to deliver an Advance Request
Form shall not be a defense to payment of the Revolving Credit Advance. Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss
or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations
or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or electronically and reasonably believed
by Lender to have been sent to Lender by an Authorized Representative of Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made available to Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds,
in an account of Borrower designated by Borrower maintained with Lender.


 


	4.2	Loan Documents.


 


Borrower agrees that
it will, on or before the Loan Opening Date, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender the following
documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender:


 


(a)          This
Agreement.


 


(b)          The
Note.


 


(c)          The
Security Agreement.


 


(d)          Such
UCC financing statements as Lender determines are advisable or necessary to perfect or notify third parties of the security interests
intended to be created by the Loan Documents.


 




    	 	16



     


    

 


(e)          Such
other documents, instruments or certificates as Lender and its counsel may reasonably require, including such documents as Lender
in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents,
and to comply with the Laws.


 


	4.3	Term of the Loan.


 


All principal, interest
and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.


 


	4.4	Voluntary Prepayments.


 


Borrower shall have
the right to make prepayments of the Loans, without any premium, penalty or other charges of any kind whatsoever, in whole or in
part, upon not less than one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to Lender. No prepayment of all or part of the Loans shall
be permitted unless same is made together with the payment of all interest accrued on the Loans through the date of prepayment.


 


	4.5	Late Charge.


 


Any and all amounts
due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which remain unpaid on the tenth (10th) day after the date said amount was due
and payable shall incur a fee (the “Late Charge”) of the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) per annum of said amount,
or (b) five hundred dollars ($500). Each Late Charge shall be in addition to all of Lender’s other rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents, provided that no Late Charge shall apply to the final payment of principal on the Maturity Date. Nothing in
this Section shall be deemed a cure period for the purpose of determining the occurrence of an Event of Default.


 


	4.6	Collateral Value Breach; Collateral Value Increase.


 


(a)          If
at any time a Collateral Value Breach occurs, then Lender may notify Borrower of the occurrence of such Collateral Value Breach
(such notice, a “Collateral Value Breach Notice”) and Borrower shall, on or before the Cure Time, either (a)
prepay the Loan Amount or (b) deliver Eligible Collateral to Lender that is satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, in
each case in such amount as shall be necessary so that after giving effect to such prepayment or the Value of the additional Eligible
Collateral, the Collateral Value Ratio shall be at least 4.00 to 1.00. As used in this Section 4.6, “Cure Time”
means 12:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the date that is ten (10) Business Days immediately following the date on which a Collateral
Value Breach Notice is delivered by Lender to Borrower.


 


(b)          To
the extent the Collateral Value increases after the date hereof, such that the Collateral Value Ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00, Borrower
may request that Lender release the portion of the Eligible Collateral that is attributable to such excess, and Lender shall comply
with such request. In no event shall Lender be obligated to release any Eligible Collateral if such release would result in a Collateral
Value Breach.


 


ARTICLE V 


INTEREST


 


	5.1	Interest Rate.


 


(a)          Subject
to Section 5.3, the principal amount of the Loans outstanding will bear interest at the Note Rate (the “Applicable
Rate”), unless the Default Rate is applicable.


 




    	 	17



     


    

  


(b)          Interest
at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year,
including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.


 


(c)          The
principal amount of the Loans outstanding shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any time at which an Event of Default shall
exist and is continuing.


 


	5.2	Required Principal and Interest Payments.


 


All accrued but unpaid
interest on the principal balance of the Loans outstanding from time to time shall be payable on each Payment Date. The outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and any and all accrued but unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity
Date or upon any earlier maturity hereof, whether by acceleration in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s account only if received by 2:00
p.m. Dallas time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Borrower may from
time to time during the term of this Agreement borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject
to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the total outstanding borrowings hereunder
shall not at any time exceed the Loan Amount. The unpaid principal balance of the Loans at any time shall be the total amount advanced
hereunder and the Note by Lender less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed
hereon from time to time by Lender or otherwise noted in Lender’s records, which notations shall be, absent manifest error,
conclusive evidence of the amounts owing hereunder from time to time.


 


	5.3	Maximum Lawful Rate.


 


It is the intent of
Borrower and Lender to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In no
way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of
the maturity of any obligation), shall the rate of interest taken, reserved, contacted for, charged or received under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents exceed the highest lawful interest rate permitted under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful
Rate”). If Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which
would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive
interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans in the inverse order of
its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such
amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term
(including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such obligation does not exceed
the Maximum Lawful Rate. As used in this Section, the term “applicable law” shall mean the laws of the State
of Texas or the federal laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater interest, as such laws now exist or may be
changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

	7.4	Expenses and Advances Secured by Loan Documents.


 


Any and all advances
or payments made by Lender under this Article VII from time to time, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Article
XVI, shall, as and when advanced or incurred, constitute additional indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security
Documents and the other Loan Documents.


 




    	 	19



     


    

  


	7.5	Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults.


 


In the event that Borrower
fails to perform any of Borrower’s covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (after the expiration of applicable grace periods, except in the event of an emergency or other exigent circumstances),
Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants, agreements and obligations, and any amounts expended by
Lender in so doing and shall constitute additional indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Documents and
the other Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Borrower shall
pay all Taxes before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to contest any such tax

(except for Taxes being contested diligently and in good faith as described in this Section).


 


	10.4	Lender’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement.


 


In case of

fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and
any post- judgment enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement
of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether
or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice
or other representation with respect to this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell,
take possession of, or liquidate any of the Collateral, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of
the Collateral, or to enforce any rights of Lender or Borrower’s obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of
the attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto (including fees and
costs of paralegals), shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrower to Lender, payable on demand. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, attorneys' or paralegals' fees for which Borrower is obligated to pay or reimburse Lender under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not include allocated costs for services of in-house counsel or in-house paralegals.

(EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) AND DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CIVIL PENALTIES OR FINES ASSESSED BY OFAC), INJURY, DAMAGE, LOSS AND LIABILITY, COST AND EXPENSE
(INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND TO ANY PERSONS OR PROPERTY BY REASON OF (I) ANY BREACH
OF REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR RELATED DOCUMENT;
OR (II) ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOANS, BORROWER, OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES. BORROWER’S DUTY TO INDEMNIFY,
HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFEND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AGAINST LOSSES EXTENDS TO LOSS THAT MAY BE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN
PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF INDEMNITEES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE FOREGOING
INDEMNIFICATION SHALL SURVIVE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN AND SHALL CONTINUE TO BENEFIT LENDER FOLLOWING ANY ASSIGNMENT OF THE LOAN WITH
RESPECT TO MATTERS ARISING OR ACCRUING PRIOR TO SUCH ASSIGNMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BORROWER SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED
TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, INJURY, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, EXPENSE,
OR OTHER MATTER TO THE EXTENT THE SAME ARISES OUT OF OR RESULTS FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED
PARTY, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL, NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT.

Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements
executed in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


 


	17.9	Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Execution.


 


This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax or other digital or electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

	17.10	Entire Agreement.


 


This Agreement, taken
together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Lender, embody
the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties, relating to the subject matter
hereof.


  




    	 	33



     


    

 


	17.11	Waiver of Damages.


 


In no event shall Lender
be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the
nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby waives all
claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.


 


	17.12	Claims Against Lender.


 


Lender shall not be
in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim
of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within one (1) year after Borrower first had actual knowledge of the occurrence of
the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly
thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as
to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential
to Lender’s ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of
the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loans.


 


	17.13	Jurisdiction.


 


TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO
THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF DALLAS, COUNTY OF DALLAS AND
STATE OF TEXAS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN
ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO
OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR
MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT,
IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN
ANY TEXAS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF DALLAS AND COUNTY OF DALLAS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED
MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON
RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE
SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.


 


	17.14	Set-Offs.


 


After the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to time
to charge Borrower’s accounts and deposits with Lender or its Affiliates, and to pay over to Lender an amount equal to any
amounts from time to time due and payable to Lender hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a security interest in and to all such accounts and deposits maintained by the Borrower with Lender (or its Affiliates).
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of Lender set forth in this section do not extend to accounts and deposits maintained by
the Bank with Lender.

	17.15	Lender’s Consent.


 


Wherever in this Agreement
there is a requirement for Lender’s consent and/or a document to be provided or an action taken “to the satisfaction
of Lender”, it is understood by such phrase that, except as expressly modified herein, Lender shall exercise its consent,
right or judgment in its sole discretion.


 


	17.16	Notices.


 


Any notice, demand,
request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage
