Article 2.
  Loan    
    

        2.1.  Advance Limit and Borrowing Base. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement Lender agrees to extend the Loan
to Borrower in one or more advances from time to time from the date hereof. Borrower must comply with all of the provisions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of
Article 4. prior to Lender making an advance in conjunction with the Loan. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or
(ii) $750,000.00, subject to any Reserves. In the event the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall at any one time exceed the lesser of the $750,000.00, or the
Borrowing Base, in either case, after accounting for Reserves, Borrower agrees to forthwith reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Note, within five (5) days after demand is made by
Lender, to bring such outstanding balance into compliance with the lesser of $750,000.00, or the Borrowing Base. With each draw request Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate. Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to make advances of principal under the Loan in excess of the limits
described above to pay any portion of the Obligations that may be due and owing at any time under the Note or the Term Note. 

        2.2.  Repayment of Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by the Note executed by Borrower,
payable to the order of Lender, in the principal amount of the Loan and dated the date of the making of the Loan. 

        2.3.  Revolving Indebtedness. It is contemplated that the Loan shall be revolving in nature, in that principal amounts may be
advanced thereunder, repaid and readvanced from time to time during the term of the Loan. It is further contemplated by the parties that disbursements will be made for working capital purposes of
Borrower, repaid partially and readvanced as deposits are made under the Lockbox Agreement and readvanced under the terms of the Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and shall govern the agreements of the parties notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be paid down to a zero principal balance. It is
understood and agreed that notwithstanding such release, substitution and replacement of collateral, the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and unchanged. 

        2.4.  Use of Proceeds of Loan. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower as working capital for the Borrower's
business.

Article 3.
  Payments    
    

        3.1.  Principal Payments. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by Borrower to Lender
specifically containing payment provisions which are in conflict with this Section 3.1 (in which event the conflicting provisions of said notes or other instruments shall govern and control),
that portion of the Obligations consisting of principal payable on account of the Loan shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon the earliest of (i) the receipt by Lender or
Borrower of any proceeds of or income from any of the Collateral, to the extent of said proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Lender elects to accelerate
the maturity and payment of such loans, (iii) any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that any overadvance or overline shall be payable on demand pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.1. hereof., or (iv) when called for in the Loan Documents. 

        3.2.  Interest Payments. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable as set forth in the Note. 

        3.3.  Collections. Until Lender notifies Borrower in writing to the contrary, Borrower may collect all Account Receivables
directly from all account debtors. If Lender notifies Borrower in writing that Lender requires all Account Receivables to be deposited directly into the LockBox Account, Borrower shall then direct all
of its account debtors, payors and other third parties to remit all payments owing to Borrower directly to the Lockbox Account. In the event Borrower shall nevertheless directly receive any payments
or other financial proceeds of any Collateral after such written notice from Lender, Borrower shall receive all payments in trust for Lender and immediately deliver all payments to Lender in their
original form as set forth below, duly endorsed in blank or cause the same to be deposited into the Lockbox Account. Lender or its designee may, at any time, notify account debtors that the Accounts
Receivable have been assigned to Lender and of Lender's security interest therein, and may collect the Accounts Receivable directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to Borrower's loan
account. Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after
receipt by Lender of good funds which have been finally credited to Lender's account, whether such funds are received directly from Borrower or from the Lockbox Account, and this provision shall apply
regardless of the amount of the Obligations outstanding or whether any Obligations are outstanding; provided, that if any such good funds are received after 12:00 p.m. noon (Dallas time) on any
Business Day or at any time on any day not constituting a Business Day, such funds shall be deemed received on the immediately following Business Day. Lender is not, however, required to credit
Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Lender in its Permitted Discretion and Lender may charge Borrower's loan account for the amount of any item of
payment which is returned to Lender unpaid.

Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, without notice to Borrower, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or
owing from Lender to Borrower. As further security for the Obligations of Borrower, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all money, instruments and other property of Borrower now or
hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, property held in safekeeping. In addition to Lender's right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations of Borrower, Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a security interest in all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other accounts of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Lender and
all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other

representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Obligated Party (or any of their respective officers) in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, notice

involve the payment of monetary Obligations covered by Section 9.1a. Above), and such failure to perform, observe or comply is not fully cured within fifteen (15) days after written
notice of same is sent to Borrower; provided, however, that if the default described within this section 8.1c. is of such a nature that it cannot
possibly be cured by anyone within such fifteen (15) day period, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, if Borrower commences the curing of the failure within
such fifteen (15) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the curing of the same to completion, and provides to the Lender written evidence of such actions,  provided that if such default
still remains uncured after thirty (30) days from the date such original notice from Lender was sent, then such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, notwithstanding. 

14

 

        d.     Any
Obligated Party shall commence a voluntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or a substantial part of its

        g.     Any
Obligated Party shall fail to satisfy and discharge promptly any judgment against it after the judgment becomes final to the extent enforcement would have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of such Obligated Party.

Obligated Party shall default in the payment of any of its Debt beyond any applicable grace period, or shall default in the performance of any other agreement binding
upon it or its property. 

        i.      This
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be

        9.2.  Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may without notice terminate its commitment to
lend hereunder and declare the Obligations or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without demand, presentment, notice
of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, or protest, which are hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default under Section 9.1.d. or Section 9.1.e., the commitment of Lender to lend hereunder shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations 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, or protest, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

        10.2. Restatement. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing by Borrower, the delivery of each statement, report and
certificate to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the request by Borrower for an advance hereunder shall by virtue of such delivery or request alone constitute a restatement of the representations
and warranties contained in Article 6. hereof on and as of the date of delivery or the date requested for the advance, except that the representations and warranties contained in
Section 6.2. shall in each instance be deemed to be made with respect to the financial statements most recently furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2. or 7.1., as the case may be.
Each such delivery or request shall also constitute a representation and warranty at the time of said delivery or on the date requested for the advance that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and that no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would be an Event of Default. 

        10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course
of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. 

        10.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, Borrower, Guarantor
and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower and Guarantor may not, except as expressly provided herein, assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement

        10.6. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties
hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower and

16

 

        10.7. Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement or Note shall require the payment or the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in Note or otherwise in connection
with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section 10.7. shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, Guarantor, successors or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated
to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as
interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the indebtedness evidenced
by the Note; and, if the principal of the Note has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. 

        10.8. Notices. Any notice, consent or other communication required or permitted to be given under any of the Loan Documents

Article 8.
  Default    
    

        8.1.  Event of Default. Each of the following shall be deemed an "Event of Default": 

        a.     Any
Obligated Party shall fail to pay when due the Obligations or any part thereof and such default in payment is not cured within five (5) days after written
notice of same is sent to Borrower. 

        b.     Any
representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Obligated Party (or any partner of Borrower) in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, notice or
financial statement furnished at any time in connection with this Agreement shall be false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect when made or deemed to have been made. 

        c.     Any
Obligated Party shall fail to perform, observe or comply with any covenant, agreement or term contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (which does not
involve the payment of monetary Obligations covered by Section 8.1a. above), and such failure to perform, observe or comply is not fully cured within fifteen(15) days after written notice of
same is sent to Borrower; provided, however, that if the default described within this section 8.1c. is of such a nature that it cannot possibly
be cured by anyone within such fifteen (15) day period, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, if Borrower commences the curing of the failure within such fifteen
(15) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the curing of the same to completion, and provides to the Lender written evidence of such actions, provided
that if such default still remains uncured after thirty (30) days from the date such original notice from Lender was sent, then such failure shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder, notwithstanding. 

        d.     Any
Obligated Party shall commence a voluntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or a substantial part of its
property or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in such a proceeding commenced against it or shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors or shall generally fail to pay its debts as they become due or shall take any partnership action to authorize any of the foregoing. 

        e.     Any
involuntary proceeding shall be commenced against any Obligated Party seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official for it or a substantial part
of its property, and such involuntary proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of forty-five (45) days. 

        f.      Any
Obligated Party shall fail to discharge within a period of forty-five (45) days after the commencement thereof any attachment, sequestration or
similar proceeding against any of its assets or properties to the extent enforcement would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of such Obligated Party. 

        g.     Any
Obligated Party shall fail to satisfy and discharge promptly any judgment against it after the judgment becomes final to the extent enforcement would have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of such Obligated Party. 

        h.     This
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be
contested or challenged by any Obligated Party, or any Obligated Party shall deny that it has any further liability or obligation under any of the Loan Documents. 

12

 

        i.      The
sale, voluntary encumbrance or other unauthorized transfer of the Property without Lender's prior written consent. 

        j.      Any
Obligated Party shall cease to exist. 

        k.     The
occurrence of any "Event of Default" as that term is defined in the Deed of Trust.

occurrence of any "Event of Default" as that term is defined in the Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement. 

        m.    Borrower
shall fail to satisfy any financial covenant as set forth in Section 6.21 hereof and such failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written
notice of same is sent to Borrower. 

        8.2.  Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have no obligation to make any further
advances under the Loan and Lender may without notice declare the Obligations or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable,
without demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, or protest, which are hereby expressly waived; provided, however,
that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.1.d. or Section 8.1.e., the commitment of Lender to lend hereunder shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations
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, or protest, which
are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents or otherwise. 

 
 

Article 10.

        10.1. Expenses of Lender. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the

reasonable costs and fees of Lender's legal counsel. Borrower agrees Lender may pay these costs with the proceeds of Loan, at its sole discretion. 

        10.2. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN THE EVENT LITIGATION SHOULD ARISE OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER MATTER RELATED THERETO WHATSOEVER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OR INACTIONS BY LENDER, IT IS
HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED BY BORROWER AND GUARANTOR THAT THEY SHALL WAIVE AND DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL OF ANY SUCH MATTER BY OR BEFORE A
JURY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO COMMIT TO MAKE THE LOAN.

        10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course
of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. 

13

 

        10.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, Borrower and Guarantor

        10.7. Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement or Note shall require the payment or the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in the Note or otherwise in
connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section 10.7. shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor the sureties, successors or assigns of Borrower or
Gurantors shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event Lender ever receives,
collects or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note; and, if the principal of the Note has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower.
