2.10         Lockbox
and Account Collections. Upon the occurrence of Default and written request from Lender, Borrower will maintain under such
written agreements as Lender requires, as security for the Indebtedness, a lockbox (“Lockbox”) and depository
account in the name of Lender (“Depository Account”) at a financial institution acceptable to the Lender in
its sole discretion (the “Lockbox Bank”). All payments from the Mortgage Loan Obligors with respect to Mortgage
Loans and for all other account debtors of Borrower will be deposited directly into the Depository Account. Borrower agrees that
Lender will have all right, title and interest in and to all items and funds from time to time in the Depository Account. Checks
received into the Depository Account will not be considered good funds until Lender has effected final settlement with respect
thereto. After an Event of Default has occurred, Lender is authorized to apply any and all funds in the Depository Account at any
time, and from time to time, to the Indebtedness (to the extent then due and payable) in any order Lender may elect.


 


Upon written notice
to Borrower from Lender, Borrower will advise the Mortgage Loan Obligors and all of its other account debtors to direct their payments
to the Lockbox, at the address established by the Lockbox arrangements. All payments received into the Lockbox will be deposited
into the Depository Account for disposition as set forth above in this Section.

and comply with the terms of the Loan Documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
herein contemplated and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, the making of the Loans, and the execution, issuance,
and delivery of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary entity action on the part of Borrower.
No consent or approval of any Tribunal or any other Person is required in order for Borrower to legally execute, deliver, and comply

5.4           Compliance
with Laws and Documents. Borrower is not, nor will the execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with the terms
of the Loan Documents cause Borrower to be, in violation of any Laws or in default (nor has any event occurred which, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default) under any contract in any respect which could have
a Material Adverse Effect. During the past five (5) years, there have been no proceedings, claims, or (to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge) investigations against or involving Borrower by any Tribunal under or pursuant to any environmental, occupational safety
and health, antitrust, unfair competition, securities, or other Laws which could have a Material Adverse Effect, except those described
on Schedule Two attached hereto (the “Tribunal Proceedings”).


 


5.5           Litigation.

on such returns are payable by Borrower, other than Taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings.


 


5.7           Enforceability
of Loan Documents. All Loan Documents when duly executed and delivered by Borrower will constitute legal, valid, and binding
obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms subject to Debtor Relief Laws and except that
the availability of equitable remedies may be limited.


 


5.8           Financial
Statements. All financial statements of Borrower heretofore and hereafter to be delivered to Lender have been and shall continue
to be prepared in accordance with GAAP, or other method of accounting acceptable to Lender (subject to the absence of notes for
interim financial statements), and do and shall fairly represent the financial condition of Borrower as of the date of each such
financial statement (subject to reasonable year-end adjustments for interim financial statements). There are and shall be no material
liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, as of the date of each such financial statement which are not reflected therein
or in the notes thereto. Except for transactions directly related to, or specifically contemplated by, this Agreement and transactions
heretofore disclosed in writing to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower as
shown by the Current Financial Statements for Borrower between the date of such Current Financial Statements and the date hereof,
nor has Borrower incurred any material liability, direct or indirect, fixed, or contingent, except as otherwise disclosed to and

ARTICLE 10

CERTAIN RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER


 


10.1       Rights
Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, declare the Indebtedness
or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without
notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand,
protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.5 or Section 9.6, the Indebtedness shall become immediately due
and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice
of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. If any
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity,
under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.


 


10.2       Rights
Relating to Collateral.


 


10.2.1   Application
of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may at its discretion, in accordance and
as provided in the Code and other applicable law, apply or use any cash held by Lender as Collateral and any cash proceeds received
by Lender in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
as follows in such order and manner as Lender may elect:


 


(a)          To
the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the administration of the Loan Documents, (ii) the custody, preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (iii) the exercise or enforcement
of any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder;


 


(b)          To
the payment or other satisfaction of any Liens upon the Collateral;


 


(c)          To
the satisfaction of the Indebtedness;


 


(d)          To
the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and


 


(e)          By
delivery to Borrower or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise.


 




    	Loan Agreement - WATERFALL FINANCE 4, LLC/UDF IV	Page 28



    	 



    

 


10.2.2     Deficiency.
In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by
Lender are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Borrower and any Obligated Party shall be liable
for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.


 


10.2.3     Non-Judicial
Remedies. In granting to Lender the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing,
Borrower expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Lender to enforce
its rights by judicial process. Borrower recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade,
are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent
Lender or Borrower from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.


 


10.2.4     Other
Recourse. Borrower waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security
for the Indebtedness, or to have any third party joined with Borrower in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness or any of the
Loan Documents, or pursue any other remedy available to Lender. Borrower further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this
Agreement. Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason
of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party.


 


10.2.5     Disclaimer
of Warranties and Sales on Credit. In connection with any foreclosure sale of the Collateral, Lender may specifically disclaim
any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of
any sale of the Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually
made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to
pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.


 


10.2.6     License.
Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in
completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s
benefit.


 


10.3       Setoff.
At any time an Event of Default exists, Lender shall be entitled to exercise the Rights of setoff and/or banker’s lien against
the interests of Borrower in and to each and every account and other property of Borrower which are in the possession or control
of Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Indebtedness, whether or not any such Indebtedness is then due or matured. The
rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights
of setoff) which Lender may have.


 




    	Loan Agreement - WATERFALL FINANCE 4, LLC/UDF IV	Page 29



    	 



    

 


10.4         Performance
by Lender. Should any covenant, duty, or agreement of Borrower fail to be performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, Lender may, at its option, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In
such event, or if Lender expends any sum pursuant to the exercise of any Right provided herein, Borrower shall, at the request
of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest
thereon at the Maximum Rate from the date of such expenditure by Lender until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly
understood that Lender does not assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of Borrower hereunder
or in connection with all or any part of the Collateral.


 


10.5         Diminution
in Collateral Value. Lender does not assume, and shall never have, any liability or responsibility for any loss or diminution
in the value of all or any part of the Collateral.


 


10.6         Lender
Not In Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Lender
the Right to exercise control over the affairs and/or management of Borrower, the power of Lender being limited to the Right to
exercise the remedies provided in the other Sections of this Article; provided that, if Lender becomes the owner of any ownership
interest of any Person, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, Lender shall be entitled to exercise such legal Rights as it
may have by virtue of being an owner of such Person.


 


10.7         Waivers.
The acceptance of Lender at any time and from time to time of part payment on the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other
then-existing or subsequent Event of Default. No waiver by Lender of any of its Rights hereunder, in the other Loan Documents,
or otherwise shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent Right of Lender. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising
any Right under the Loan Documents shall impair such Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such Right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other
Right under the Loan Documents or otherwise.


 


10.8         Cumulative
Rights. All Rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights
granted to Lender at Law or in equity, whether or not the Obligations be due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted
any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.


 


10.10       Limitation
of Liability. Neither Lender nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability
with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect,
incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related
to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or

or any of the other Loan Documents.

11.8         WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE
IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. INSTEAD, ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLVED IN COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.


 


11.9         Maximum
Interest. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with
the applicable New York law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by any Note
or any Loan Document, and the Related Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) (or applicable United States federal law to the extent
that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under New York law).
If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower
and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged,
taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or any
and all indebtedness paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than any Note (such other indebtedness
being referred to in this Section as the “Related Indebtedness”), or (c) Borrower will have paid or Lender will
have received by reason of any prepayment by Borrower of any Note or Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s
express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts
in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of any Note and/or the
Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and the Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower),
and the provisions of any Note and the other Loan Documents shall 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
any Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of any such Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall,
with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of
the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against such Note and/or any
Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim or counterclaim
(in which event such proceeding shall be abated for such time period) seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide
written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender 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 Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note to which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related
Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the
use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of such Note and/or the Related
Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest
on account of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable
to such Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. 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.

11.10       Invalid
Provisions. If any provision of any of the Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or
future Laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, the appropriate Loan Document shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, and the remaining
provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be effected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision
or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added
automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision
as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.


 


11.11       Entirety
and Amendments. This instrument embodies the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof (except
documents, agreements and instruments delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms hereof), supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof, and may be amended only by an instrument in
writing executed jointly by Borrower and Lender and supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with
the express terms hereof.


 


11.12       Multiple
Counterparts. This Agreement has been executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which constitutes an original
and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but in making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce
or account for more than one such counterpart.


 


11.13       Parties
Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and
assigns; provided that Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any of its Rights, duties, or obligations
hereunder. No term or provision of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any Person other than Borrower and Lender and their
respective successors and assigns; consequently, no Person other than Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns,
shall be entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Borrower or Lender to perform,
observe, or comply with any such term or provision.

11.14       Lender’s
Consent or Approval. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance 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 (a) within the sole discretion of Lender, and (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended
for the purpose and executed by Lender. Each provision for consent, approval, inspection, review, or verification by Lender is
for Lender’s own purposes and benefit only.


 


11.15       Loan
Agreement Governs. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any terms of any other Loan Document,
the terms of this Agreement shall govern. All of the Loan Documents are by this reference incorporated into this Agreement.


 


11.16       Independence
of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations
of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.


 


11.17       USA
Patriot Act. Lender is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October
26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required
to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.


 


11.18       STATUTE
OF FRAUDS NOTICE. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT
BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.


 


11.19       Securitization
Right of First Refusal. Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice (each, a “Securitization
Notice”) to Lender of its intention to securitize all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a term securitization
(a “Proposed Securitization”), which Securitization Notice shall include a summary of the terms of such Proposed
Securitization. Within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a Securitization Notice, Lender shall have the right to commit to acquire
any or all of the securities to be issued in connection with such Proposed Securitization (the “Subject Securities”)
by providing a notice of its intention to commit to acquire the Subject Securities to Borrower upon the terms set forth in the
Securitization Notice (the “Lender Notice”). Subject to the next sentence, if Lender timely delivers a Lender
Notice, the Borrower agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates to sell the Subject Securities to the Lender or its
designee upon the closing of the Proposed Securitization. Failure by the Lender to issue a Lender Notice within fifteen (15) days
of receipt of a Securitization Notice shall constitute waiver by Lender of its rights under this Section 11.19 with regard to the
Proposed Securitization specified in the related Securitization Notice only, and shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s
rights with respect to any securities issued in connection with another Proposed Securitization. From and after any such waiver,
the Borrower and its Affiliates will be free to sell any of the securities issued in connection with the Proposed Securitization
specified in the related Securitization Notice to any other Person.

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF NOTES AND LIENS
AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


 


THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
of Notes and Liens and Security Agreement is dated as of ____________, by UNITED DEVELOPMENT FUNDING IV, a Maryland real estate
investment trust (“Assignor”) to WATERFALL FINANCE 4, LLC (“Lender”).


 


WITNESSETH:


 


The Assignor for good
and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, hereby grants to Lender a security interest or an assignment,
as the case may be, in and to the promissory notes more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto
and made a part hereof for all purposes, (hereinafter called the “Collateral Notes”), any and all documents
now or hereafter executed in connection with the Collateral Notes and all liens, security interests, assignments, mortgages and
guaranties accruing or to accrue to the benefit of Assignor with respect to the Collateral Notes (hereinafter collectively called
the “Collateral Security”) covering the real property more particularly described in Exhibit “B”
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and together with all rights, powers, privileges benefits
and remedies arising under the Collateral Notes and the related Collateral Security, including without limitation, all casualty
insurance policies, and all moneys, income, proceeds and benefits attributable or accruing to the Collateral Notes or Collateral
Security (the “Related Instruments” and together with the Collateral Notes and the Collateral Security, hereinafter
sometimes called the “Collateral”).


 


1.          Secured
Indebtedness. This Collateral Assignment is executed, acknowledged and delivered as security for and to secure the full, prompt
and complete payment as and when the same becomes due and payable of all sums owing and to be owing on and under the following,
together with any renewals, extensions or rearrangements thereof (hereinafter collectively called the “Indebtedness”):


 




    	Loan Agreement - WATERFALL FINANCE 4, LLC/UDF IV	Page 1



    	 



    

 


(a)          The
payment of the “Indebtedness”, as defined in that certain Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith between Lender
and Assignor (as may be amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) including, without
limitation, the payment of the Note (as defined in the Loan Agreement);


 


(b)          Payment
of all other sums with interest thereon, if any, becoming due and payable to Lender under the Loan Agreement, this Collateral Assignment
or any document executed in connection therewith or relating thereto; and


 


(c)          The
performance and discharge of each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of the Assignor contained herein or in the Loan
Agreement or in any agreement now or hereafter entered into by Assignor, as security for or in connection with this Collateral
Assignment or the Loan Agreement.


 


If Assignor fully pays
the Indebtedness as the same becomes due and payable, this conveyance shall become null and void, and Lender will reassign to Assignor,
without recourse, the Collateral Notes and all rights and liens conveyed hereby and Lender agrees to execute all documents necessary
to reassign the Collateral Notes to Assignor. Otherwise, this conveyance is to remain in full force and effect.


 


2.            Representations
and Warranties of Assignor. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:


 


(a)          Assignor
is the legal owner and holder of the Collateral Notes;


 


(b)          The
Collateral Notes, Collateral Security and Related Instruments are valid and enforceable and have not been altered, modified or
amended in any manner whatsoever;


 


(c)          Assignor
has not assigned, mortgaged or hypothecated any Collateral Note, the indebtedness evidenced thereby or any of the liens or security
interests securing same or any guaranty therefor, except to Lender pursuant to this Collateral Assignment;


 


(d)          The
unpaid principal amount of each Collateral Note shown on Exhibit “A” is still owing and unpaid on such Collateral
Note;


 


(e)          Assignor
has the full right and unqualified authority to transfer and convey the Collateral Notes, the indebtedness evidenced thereby and
the Collateral Security and Related Instruments in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth;


 


(f)          The
Collateral Notes are current and in good standing in all respects;


 


(g)          No
default exists under the Collateral Security or any other instrument securing or guaranteeing the payment of the Collateral Notes;


 


(h)          The
Collateral Notes are not subject to any credits or offsets not shown by proper endorsement on the Collateral Notes; and


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(i)          Assignor
has or shall notify the maker of each Collateral Note and any assumptor of any Collateral Note of this Collateral Assignment.


 


3.           Covenants
of Assignor. Assignor hereby covenants and agrees that:


 


(a)          Assignor
will not enter into any other assignment, pledge, or security agreement covering the Collateral so long as any of the Indebtedness
remains unpaid, except any such security agreement in favor of Lender. Assignor will not sell or offer to sell or transfer the
Collateral or any interest therein as long as the Indebtedness remains unpaid.


 


(b)          Assignor
will defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons or entities claiming the same or any part thereof or interest
therein.


 


(c)          Until
the full and complete payment of all of the Indebtedness, Lender is hereby fully authorized and empowered upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement:


 


(i)          to
receive, collect and demand payment directly from the maker of each Collateral Note of all sums and amounts payable on or with
respect to the Collateral Notes; and


 


(ii)         to
exercise and enforce all of the other rights, powers and remedies of the holder of the Collateral Notes, including (but not by
way of limitation) the right to demand payment of the Collateral Notes in the event of any default thereunder and to enforce the
Collateral Security and Related Instruments, including without limitation, the foreclosure of any deed of trust comprising part
of the Collateral Security.


 


In the event Lender
forecloses the liens securing any of the Collateral Notes and Lender becomes the owner of the property foreclosed, then Lender
and Assignor shall execute an appropriate instrument evidencing a lien for the benefit of Lender covering such property and securing
the Indebtedness. In the event Lender, at its option and in writing, authorizes Assignor to enforce the collection of any of the
Collateral Notes and to foreclose the liens securing same, then Assignor shall immediately pay over to Lender all sums received
from the enforcement of such liens and in the event Assignor becomes owner of the property pledged as security for any such Collateral
Note, then Lender shall automatically have a lien or security interest covering such property to secure the Indebtedness and Assignor
shall immediately execute an appropriate instrument evidencing same.


 


(d)          After
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignor will hold all monies, income, payments, or benefits attributable or accruing to
the Collateral Notes in trust for Lender and will not commingle with any other property or moneys of Assignor and will promptly
deliver the same to Lender in the form received.


 


(e)          Lender
is under no obligation to enforce the collection of the Collateral Notes and shall not be liable for any neglect or failure to
take action with reference to the Collateral Notes; and none of the rights, powers, or liens hereunder shall be prejudiced or affected
by any neglect, failure or omission as to any such matters.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(f)          Assignor
will:


 


(i)          perform
or cause to be performed all of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed under the Collateral Notes and
each of the Collateral Security and Related Instruments;


 


(ii)         promptly
notify Lender in writing of (x) the occurrence of any event of default (after the lapse of any applicable grace period) in the
observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions to be performed under any of the Collateral Notes or under
any of the Collateral Security and Related Instruments, and (y) the giving of any notice of any such default or event of default;
and


 


(iii)        whenever
required by Lender, at the sale cost and expense of Assignor, take all such action as may be so requested to enforce or secure
the performance of any term, covenant or condition of any of the Collateral Security and Related Instruments and to exercise any
right of Assignor under any of the Collateral Security and Related Instruments.


 


(g)         Assignor
will not, without the prior written consent of Lender:


 


(i)          reduce
any payment required to be made to Assignor and/or Lender under any of the Collateral Notes;


 


(ii)         revise,
alter, modify, amend or change any of the Collateral Notes in any way, either orally or in writing;


 


(iii)        waive
any condition in respect of, or release any person with respect to, any of the Collateral Notes, the Collateral Security and Related
Instruments or the performance or observance of any material obligation or condition thereunder including, without limitation,
any waiver or deferral of any scheduled payments thereunder;


 


(iv)        amend,
modify or waive any of the terms of any of the Collateral Security and Related Instruments or release any collateral for any of
the Collateral Notes, either orally or in writing; or


 


(v)         if
Lender shall consent to any renewal, modification, extension or rearrangement of any of the Collateral Notes, Assignor shall immediately
endorse any note given in renewal, modification, extension or rearrangement of or substitution for the Collateral Note payable
to the order of Lender and shall immediately deposit such note with Lender. Thereafter, such note shall be considered part of such
Collateral Note for all purposes of this Collateral Agreement.


 


(h)          Lender
shall not be responsible in any way for any depreciation in the value of the Collateral Notes or Collateral Security and Related
Instruments, nor shall any duty or responsibility whatsoever rest upon Lender to take any steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or to enforce collection of the Collateral Notes or Security Instruments by legal proceedings or otherwise, the sale duty
of Lender, its successors and assigns, being to receive collections, remittances and payments on the Collateral Notes or Collateral
Security and Related Instruments as and when made and received by Lender, and, at Lender’s option, to apply the amount or
amounts so received, after deduction of any collection costs incurred, as payment upon any of the Indebtedness or to hold the same
for the account and order of Assignor.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(i)          Regardless
of any of the provisions contained in the Collateral Notes, this Collateral Assignment, or any other instrument had and to be had
in connection with or as security for the payment of the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be promptly paid in accordance with
the provisions of the Note and the Loan Agreement, and the Indebtedness in all events is and shall be the firm and absolute obligation
of Assignor to pay in the amounts, at the times, and in the manner provided therein not contingent upon or limited to any revenues
or proceeds payable and to be payable to Lender under the provisions hereof.


 


(j)          Assignor
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Lender in connection with this Collateral Assignment and all transactions
pursuant hereto. Assignor will, upon request, promptly reimburse the Lender for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by the
Lender to satisfy any obligation of the Assignor under this Collateral Assignment, or to collect the Indebtedness, or to enforce
the rights of the Lender under this Collateral Assignment or any other instrument referred to or mentioned herein or executed or
to be executed in connection herewith, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Note for past due principal and
interest on each such amount from the date that the same is expended, advanced or incurred by the Lender until the date it is repaid
to the Lender.


 


4.           Events
of Default. Assignor shall be in default under this Collateral Assignment upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
the Loan Agreement.


 


5.           Remedies.


 


(a)          Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may elect to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable in full, Assignor
hereby expressly waiving, demand, presentment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate,
notice of acceleration or any other notice whatsoever.


 


(b)          Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Lender shall have the right to sell the Collateral Notes and
the other Collateral, together with the security therefor, at any private or public sale or exercise any other rights or remedies
permitted by the Texas Business and Commerce Code or otherwise available to Lender at law or in equity, all of which shall be deemed
cumulative, and Lender shall transfer to the purchaser at any such sale the Collateral Notes and the other Collateral, together
with the security therefor, and the recitals in such transfer shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the matters therein
stated and all prerequisites to such sale required hereunder and under applicable laws shall be presumed to have been performed.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


In this connection,
Lender is and shall be fully subrogated to all rights and liens existing unto and in favor of the Assignor and the provisions of
the Collateral Security and Related Instruments and in the event of a default hereinabove mentioned, Lender shall be entitled to
continue to collect the amounts owing under the Collateral Notes and Collateral Security and Related Instrument and to foreclose
said rights and liens and to have the properties covered by said instruments sold, in whole or in part, or to exercise any other
remedies in the manner and under the terms and conditions provided in said instruments.
