PROMISE TO PAY.  Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money  of the United States of America, the principal amount of Six Million & 00/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance.  Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance or maturity, whichever occurs first.

CHOICE OF USURY CEILING AND INTEREST RATE.   The interest rate on this Note has been implemented under the "Quarterly Ceiling" as referred to in Section 303.006 of the Texas Finance Code.

PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 18, 2020.  In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning September 18, 2018, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that.   Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address  shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, Lender will not charge interest on any undisbursed loan proceeds.  No scheduled payment, whether of principal or interest or both, will be due unless sufficient loan funds have been disbursed by the scheduled payment date to justify the payment.

PAYMENT INFORMATION. PAYMENTS SHOULD BE REMITTED TO:  BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas, P.O. Box 248818, Oklahoma City, OK 73124-8818. If a payment is made consistent with the written payment instructions provided by Lender and received on a business day by 5:00 p.m. Central Time, the payment will be applied that day.  If a payment is received on a business day after 5:00 p.m., the payment may be applied the following business day.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The  interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the 1 Month LIBOR Interest Rate which is the ICE Benchmark Administration (ICE) (or the successor thereto if the ICE Benchmark Administration is no longer making a London Interbank Offered Rate available) fixing of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based on offered inter-bank deposit  rates contributed in accordance with instructions to ICE LIBOR Contributor Banks (rounded  upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) for such interest period; provided, however, that if the Index determined as provided above shall be less than zero, the Index shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Note (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans.  If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each month. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.  The Index currently is 2.060% per annum.   Interest prior to maturity on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a rate of 1.500 percentage points over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 3.560% per annum based on a year of 360 days.  NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than (except for any higher default rate or Post Maturity Rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.  For purposes of this Note, the "maximum rate allowed by applicable law" means the greater of (A) the maximum rate of interest permitted under federal or other law applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or   (B) the "Quarterly Ceiling" as referred to in Section 303.006 of the Texas Finance Code.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.   Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied  by the actual number  of days the principal balance  is outstanding, unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on a per diem basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  Prepayment in full shall consist of payment of the remaining unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts, costs and expense for which Borrower is responsible under this Note or any other agreement with Lender pertaining to this loan, and in no event, will Borrower ever be required to pay any unearned interest. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language.  If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.  All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas, P.O. Box 248818 Oklahoma City, OK  73124-8818.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will   be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

POST MATURITY RATE.  The Post Maturity Rate on this Note is the lesser of (A) the maximum rate allowed by law or  (B)  18.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. Borrower will pay interest on all sums due after final maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at that rate.

This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.   Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.  Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized person.   Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing.  Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.  The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.  Lender will  have  no obligation to advance  funds  under  this  Note  if:  (A)   Borrower or any  guarantor is in default under  the  terms  of this  Note  or any  agreement that  Borrower or any  guarantor has  with Lender,  including any  agreement made  in  connection with the  signing   of  this  Note;    (B)   Borrower or  any  guarantor ceases  doing  business   or  is  insolvent;   (C)   any  guarantor seeks,  claims  or  otherwise attempts to  limit, modify or  revoke  such  guarantor's guarantee  of this  Note  or any  other  loan  with Lender;   (D)   Borrower has applied  funds  provided pursuant to  this  Note  for  purposes other  than those  authorized by Lender; or (E) Lender  in good faith  believes  itself insecure.

RENEWAL STATEMENT.  This Promissory Note is an extension, renewal and/or modification of the Promissory Note dated August 8, 2017 in the principal amount of $6,000,000.00 from the Borrower to Lender and is not a novation or substitution.

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS.    The terms   of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower's heirs, personal   representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.   If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note.   Borrower does not  agree or intend  to pay,  and Lender  does  not  agree  or  intend  to  contract for,  charge,  collect, take,  reserve  or receive  (collectively referred  to  herein  as "charge  or collect"), any  amount in  the  nature  of  interest or in  the  nature  of  a fee  for  this  loan,  which would in any  way  or  event  (including demand,  prepayment, or  acceleration) cause  Lender  to  charge  or  collect more  for  this  loan  than  the  maximum Lender  would be permitted to charge or collect  by federal  law  or the  law  of the State  of Texas  (as applicable).  Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower.  The right to accelerate maturity of sums due under this Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender does not intend to charge or collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.  All sums  paid  or agreed  to be paid  to  Lender  for  the use,  forbearance or detention of  sums  due hereunder  shall,  to  the extent permitted by  applicable  law, be  amortized, prorated, allocated and  spread  throughout the  full  term  of  the  loan  evidenced by  this  Note  until payment  in full  so that  the  rate  or  amount  of  interest on  account of  the  loan  evidenced hereby  does  not  exceed  the  applicable usury  ceiling. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.    Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand  for  payment, notice  of  dishonor, notice  of intent  to accelerate  the maturity of this  Note,  and notice  of acceleration of the maturity of this  Note.   Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party   who   signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length  of  time)  this loan or release any party  or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon  or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral without the consent  of or notice  to anyone.  All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to  anyone  other than the party with  whom the modification is made.   The obligations under this Note are joint and several.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS.   BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.  BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THIS PROMISSORY NOTE.

PROMISE TO PAY.   Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Fifteen Million & 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from August 20, 2018, until maturity.

PAYMENT.   Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule:

Prior to the Conversion Date:

Prior to the Conversion Date (defined below), Borrower will pay thirteen (13) consecutive monthly payments of interest, with the first payment being due September 18, 2018, and all subsequent interest payments due on the same day of each month thereafter.

Following the Conversion Date:

Following the  Conversion Date,  Borrower will  pay forty-eight (48) consecutive monthly payments of  principal and  interest, commencing October 18, 2019, and on the same day of each month thereafter, with each  payment except  the  last  equal  to  the  Payment  Amount (defined  below), and the  last  payment, due four  (4)  years  from  the  Conversion Date,  and in any  event  no later  than  September 18, 2023, equal to the remaining unpaid  balance  of principal and accrued interest hereunder.

The term "Conversion Date" shall mean the earlier of (i) September 18, 2019, or (ii) the date on which the loan is fully funded.

The "Payment Amount" shall  be an amount determined on  the  Conversion Date  based  on the  principal amount outstanding hereunder  on the Conversion date and the  interest rate  in effect on the  Conversion Date,  amortized over  a term  of four  (4) years;  provided, however, the Payment  Amount will  be recalculated on an annual basis  based  on the  interest rate  in effect at  the  time  of  recalculation, and the  months remaining  in the original four  (4) year amortization.

Straight Line of Credit:

This Note evidences a straight line of credit for the initial thirteen (13) months of the loan term ("Draw Period").  Borrower is not entitled to further loan advances once the total amount of principal has been advanced or the Draw Period has expired, whichever occurs first. Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by an authorized person.  Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing.  Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.  The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.  Lender  will  have  no obligation to  advance funds  under  this  Note  if:  (A)  Borrower or any guarantor is in default under  the  terms  of  this  Note  or any  agreement that  Borrower or any  guarantor has with Lender,  including any agreement  made  in connection with the  signing  of  this  Note;  (B) Borrower or any  guarantor ceases  doing  business  or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks,  claims  or otherwise attempts to  limit, modify or revoke  such  guarantor's guarantee of  this  Note  or any  other  loan  with Lender; or (D) Borrower has applied  funds provided pursuant to this  Note for purposes other  than  those  authorized by Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

PAYMENT INFORMATION. PAYMENTS SHOULD BE REMITTED TO:  BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas, P.O. Box 248818, Oklahoma City, OK 73124-8818.  If a payment is made consistent with the written payment instructions provided by Lender and received on a business day by 5:00 p.m.  Central Time, the payment will be applied that day.    If a payment is received on a business day after 5:00 p.m., the payment may be applied the following business day.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.   The interest rate on this  Note  is subject to  change  from  time  to  time  based  on changes  in an independent index which is  the 1 Month LIBOR Interest Rate which is the ICE Benchmark Administration  (ICE) (or  the  successor thereto if the ICE Benchmark Administration is no longer  making a London  Interbank Offered Rate available) fixing of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based  on offered inter-bank deposit rates  contributed in  accordance with instructions to  ICE LIBOR  Contributor Banks (rounded upward, if necessary, to  the nearest  1/100 of  1%)  for  such  interest period; provided, however, that  if the  Index  determined as provided above  shall  be less  than  zero, the Index shall be deemed  to be zero for  the purposes of this  Note  (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans.  If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate  upon  Borrower's request.  The interest rate change will not occur more often  than  each month. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans  based  on other  rates  as well.   The Index currently is 2.060% per annum.  Interest prior to maturity on the unpaid  principal balance  of  this  Note  will  be  calculated as described in  the  "INTEREST  CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a rate  of 1.500 percentage points over the Index,  resulting in an initial  rate  of 3.560% per annum  based  on a year of 360 days.   NOTICE: Under no circumstances will  the interest rate  on this  Note  be more  than  (except for  any higher  default rate  or Post Maturity Rate shown below) the lesser  of  18.000% per annum  or the  maximum rate  allowed by applicable law.   For purposes of  this  Note,  the  "maximum rate  allowed by applicable  law" means  the  greater  of   (A)   the  maximum rate  of  interest permitted under  federal or other  law  applicable to  the  indebtedness evidenced  by this  Note,  or   (B)  the "Quarterly Ceiling" as referred to in Section 303.006 of the Texas Finance  Code.   Whenever increases occur in the interest rate,  Lender,  at its  option, may  do one  or more  of  the  following:  (A)   increase Borrower's payments to  ensure  Borrower's loan will  pay  off  by  its  original   final  maturity date,    (B)   increase Borrower's  payments to  cover   accruing interest,   (C)   increase   the  number  of Borrower's payments, and  (D)  continue Borrower's payments at the same amount and increase Borrower's final  payment.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.  Interest on  this  Note  is computed on a 365/360 basis;  that  is, by  applying the  ratio  of  the  interest rate over  a year  of  360   days,  multiplied by  the  outstanding principal balance, multiplied by  the  actual  number   of  days  the  principal balance  is outstanding, unless  such  calculation would result in a usurious rate,  in which case  interest shall  be calculated on a per  diem  basis  of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.   All interest payable  under  this  Note  is computed using  this  method.

PREPAYMENT.   Borrower may  pay  without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed  earlier  than  it is due.   Prepayment in full  shall  consist of payment of  the  remaining unpaid  principal balance  together with all accrued and unpaid  interest and  all other  amounts, costs  and expenses  for which  Borrower is responsible under  this  Note  or any  other  agreement with Lender  pertaining to this  loan,  and in no event  will  Borrower ever be required  to pay  any unearned interest.  Early payments will  not,  unless  agreed  to by Lender  in writing, relieve  Borrower of Borrower's  obligation to  continue to  make  payments under  the  payment schedule.   Rather,  early  payments will  reduce the  principal balance  due  and  may  result  in Borrower's making fewer payments.   Borrower agrees  not  to  send  Lender  payments marked   "paid in  full",  "without  recourse", or  similar language.    If  Borrower sends  such  a payment, Lender  may  accept it without losing  any  of  Lender's rights under  this  Note,  and  Borrower will remain  obligated to pay  any further amount owed to Lender.    All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any  check  or other  payment instrument that  indicates that  the  payment constitutes "payment in  full" of  the  amount owed or  that  is  tendered with  other conditions or limitations or  as full  satisfaction of  a disputed amount must  be mailed  or delivered to:   BOKF, NA  dba Bank  of  Texas, P.O. Box 248818 Oklahoma  City, OK   73124-8818.

LATE  CHARGE.    If  a payment is  15  days  or  more  late,  Borrower will  be  charged 5.000%  of  the  unpaid  portion of  the  regularly  scheduled payment.

POST MATURITY RATE.   The  Post  Maturity Rate  on  this  Note  is  the  lesser  of   (A)   the  maximum rate  allowed by  law  or   (B)   18.000%  per annum  based  on a year  of  360 days.   Borrower will  pay  interest on all sums  due after  final  maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at that rate.

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an event  of default  ("Event of Default") under  this  Note:

	
·

	
Payment  Default.  Borrower fails  to make  any payment when  due under  this  Note.

	
·

	
Other  Defaults.  Borrower fails  to comply with or to perform any  other  term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this  Note  or in any of the related  documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other  agreement between Lender and Borrower.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.   If any part  of this  Note  cannot be enforced, this  fact  will  not  affect the  rest  of  the Note.   Borrower does not  agree or intend  to  pay,  and  Lender  does  not  agree  or intend  to  contract for,  charge,  collect, take,  reserve  or  receive  (collectively referred to  herein  as "charge  or  collect"), any  amount in  the  nature  of  interest or in  the  nature  of  a fee  for  this  loan,  which would in  any  way  or  event  (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause  Lender  to  charge  or  collect more  for  this  loan  than  the  maximum Lender  would be permitted to charge or collect  by federal  law  or the  law  of the State  of Texas  (as applicable).  Any  such  excess  interest or unauthorized fee shall,  instead  of anything  stated  to  the  contrary, be applied  first  to  reduce  the  principal balance  of  this  loan,  and  when  the  principal has  been  paid  in full,  be refunded  to Borrower.

All  sums  paid  or agreed  to be paid  to  Lender  for  the  use,  forbearance or detention of  sums  due hereunder shall,  to the extent permitted by  applicable law, be  amortized, prorated, allocated and  spread  throughout the  full  term   of  the  loan  evidenced by  this  Note  until payment  in full  so  that  the  rate  or  amount of  interest on  account of  the  loan  evidenced hereby  does  not  exceed  the  applicable usury  ceiling. Lender may  delay  or forgo enforcing any  of  its  rights  or remedies  under  this  Note  without losing  them.   Borrower and  any  other  person  who signs,  guarantees or endorses  this  Note,  to  the  extent allowed by  law, waive presentment, demand  for  payment, notice  of  dishonor, notice  of intent  to accelerate the maturity of this  Note, and notice  of acceleration of the maturity of this  Note.  Upon  any change  in the terms  of this Note, and  unless  otherwise  expressly stated   in  writing, no  party who   signs  this  Note,   whether as  maker, guarantor, accommodation maker  or endorser, shall  be released  from liability.  All  such  parties agree  that  Lenc1er may  renew or extend  (repeatedly and  for  any  length  of  time)  this loan or release  any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize  upon or perfe<;t Lender's security interest in the collateral without the consent  of  or notice to anyone.  All  such parties also agree  that  Lender  may  modify this  loan  without the  consent of or notice  to  anyone  other than the party  with whom the modification ls made.
