ARTICLE V

DISPOSITION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

 

5.1             
Disposition of Limited Partner Partnership Interests. Other than a Disposition to a Permitted Transferee or as provided
in Section 5.9, Section 5.10, Section 5.11 or Section 12 below, no Limited Partner may Dispose of its
Partnership interest, or any interest in or portion thereof, without the approval of the General Partner and the Partner Committee.
Any attempted Disposition by a Limited Partner of any Partnership interest or right, or any portion thereof, in or in respect of
the Partnership in contravention of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. To the extent approved by the General
Partner and the Partner Committee, a Limited Partner must first comply with Section 5.7 before proceeding with a Disposition
to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee (unless the Disposition is pursuant to Section 5.9, Section 5.10, Section
5.11 or Section 12 below).

 

5.2             
Status After Disposition. Except with respect to a Disposition to a Permitted Transferee, no Limited Partner shall
have the right, without the General Partner's prior consent, to constitute its assignee as a Limited Partner. A Person that receives
a Partnership interest or right in or in respect of the Partnership but that is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted
or additional Partner shall not be entitled to vote, and the Percentage Interest of such Person shall not be counted for voting
or quorum purposes. Any Person receiving a Partnership interest or right in or in respect of the Partnership (whether or not such
Person becomes a Limited Partner) shall not be entitled to Dispose of its Partnership interest or right or any part thereof without
fulfilling the conditions of this ARTICLE V to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner that desires
to effect a Disposition of an interest in the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Limited
Partner who voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason Disposes of all of its Partnership interest shall be free of any obligation
or liability as a Limited Partner incurred as a result of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time of such withdrawal,
sale, transfer, or assignment (and in the case of a partial sale, transfer or assignment, to the extent of such sale, transfer
or assignment).

 

     

     

    

5.3             
Disposition Costs. All costs incurred by the Partnership in connection with the Disposition of a Partnership interest
shall be borne and paid by the Partner effecting the Disposition within twenty (20) Days after the receipt by such Partner (or
such Partner's estate or legal representative, as applicable) of the Partnership's invoice for the amount due.

 

5.4             
Admission of a Substituted Limited Partner. The General Partner may, but only with the approval of the Partner Committee,
admit an assignee of a Partnership interest as a substituted Limited Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an assignee who is
a Permitted Transferee shall be admitted as a substituted Limited Partner without approval of the Partner Committee.

 

5.5             
Admission as Additional Limited Partner; Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. The General Partner may, but
only with the approval of the Partner Committee, cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership interests to existing Limited
Partners or Additional Limited Partners and may, but only with the approval of the Partner Committee, admit one or more Additional
Limited Partners to the Partnership upon such terms as the General Partner may determine. If additional Partnership interests are
determined to be issued in accordance with this Section, the General Partner shall first give notice of such proposed issuance
(an “Issue Notice”) and the price and other terms thereof to the Limited Partners, and the Limited Partners
shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such Partnership interests in accordance with this Section 5.5. Such
right of first refusal shall allow each Limited Partner to purchase all or any portion its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of
the Partnership interests proposed to be issued. Each Limited Partner shall have thirty (30) Days from the date of such Issue Notice
to elect to purchase all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of such Partnership interests for the purchase price and upon the
terms specified in the Issue Notice by giving written notice of such election to the General Partner, stating therein the quantity
of new securities to be purchased. If any Limited Partner (each, a “non-purchasing Limited Partner”) fails to
exercise such Limited Partner's right to purchase such Limited Partner's full Pro Rata Share of Partnership interests under this.
Section 5.5, the Limited Partners who exercise their rights to purchase their full pro rata share of Partnership interests
shall also have a right of over-allotment to purchase Partnership interests not purchased by the non-purchasing Limited Partners,
ratably according to the Partnership interests held by all such electing Limited Partners as of the date of the Issue Notice, or
in such other proportions as they may agree, within fifteen (15) Days after the date the General Partner provides notice to the
other Limited Partners that such non-purchasing Limited Partner is not exercising its preemptive right hereunder to purchase its
full pro rata share of Partnership interests, including the number of Partnership interests available for purchase. The Partnership
shall have a period of 120 Days from the date of the Issue Notice to complete the sale of such Partnership interests to prospective
purchasers (including any Limited Partner(s) who shall have exercised their rights pursuant to this Section 5.5) on
the terms described in such Issue Notice, but thereafter may sell additional Partnership interests only after delivering another
Issue Notice pursuant to this Section 5.5. The right of first refusal granted hereunder to any Limited Partner with
respect to an issue of Partnership interests (but no subsequent issue of Partnership interests) shall terminate if such Limited
Partner shall not have exercised such right of first refusal by written notice to the General Partner within thirty (30) Days after
the date of the Issue Notice from the General Partner.

 

     

     

    

5.6             
Disposition of General Partner's Partnership Interest. Unless otherwise agreed to by all Limited Partners, the General
Partner shall have the right to effect a Disposition of all or any portion of its General Partner interests in the Partnership
only with the prior consent of the Limited Partners holding a Super Required Interest. In the event any Person is admitted as a
substituted General Partner, such admission shall occur contemporaneously with the withdrawal of the former General Partner. Any
additional or substituted General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, any General Partner who voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason withdraws from the Partnership, or sells,
transfers, or assigns its General Partner interests in the Partnership, shall be and remain liable for all obligations and liabilities
incurred by it as a General Partner prior to the time of such withdrawal, sale, transfer, or assignment, but shall be free of any
obligation or liability as a General Partner incurred as a result of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time
of such withdrawal, sale, transfer, or assignment.

 

5.7             
Right of First Refusal in the Event of Transfer to a Third Party. Provided that the General Partner has provided
its prior written consent to a Disposition of Partnership interests to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee, any Limited
Partner (each a “Proposed Transferor”) who desires to Transfer its Limited Partner interest or any portion thereof
(including any Economic Interest therein) (an “Offered Interest”), to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee
must first give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of the terms of the contemplated sale or Disposition
and of the name of the purchaser or transferee (together with a copy of any written offer or proposed contract) to the General
Partner and the other Limited Partners at least sixty (60) Days prior to the contemplated Disposition date. All consideration for
the contemplated Disposition must be stated in terms of U.S. Dollars. The Limited Partners shall have the first right, exercisable
by delivery of a written notice (the “Notice”) to the Proposed Transferor, the General Partner and all other
Limited Partners within twenty (20) Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, to purchase the Offered Interest or a portion thereof
pro rata (in the proportion to the participating Limited Partner's Percentage Interest). If any Limited Partner declines to exercise
its pro rata share of any option to purchase the Offered Interest, the other Limited Partners shall be entitled to exercise the
declining Limited Partner's option in proportion to such other Limited Partners' respective Percentage Interests. If the rights
of the other Limited Partners are not exercised as to all of the Offered Interest within the applicable time periods, then the
Proposed Transferor may sell the Offered Interest on the terms and conditions set out in the Transfer Notice and to the proposed
transferee identified therein; provided, however, that if the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer as described in the
Transfer Notice change in any material respect or if the identity of the proposed transferee changes, the Proposed Transferor shall
be required to obtain the written consent of the General Partner, and if such consent is obtained, the Proposed Transferor shall
give new notice to the General Partner and the Limited Partners and the procedures provided for in this Section 5.7
shall be again followed. The terms of the Transfer shall not be contrary to any of the provisions of this Agreement, and the Transfer
Notice must be duly executed by the Proposed Transferor and the transferee, received by the General Partner, and recorded in the
books of the Partnership in order to have any binding effect on the Limited Partners, the General Partner or the Partnership. The
transferee of the Offered Interest of a Proposed Transferor shall be entitled to receive, as of such effective date, only an economic
interest entitling the transferee to only the allocations and distributions pursuant to ARTICLE VII thereafter attributable
to the Offered Interests transferred, the obligations to make capital contributions associated with the Offered Interest in accordance
with ARTICLE VI and shall have no other rights unless and until the transferee becomes a substitute Limited Partner.
In addition, as a condition of such Disposition, the transferee must execute a document, in a form satisfactory to the General
Partner, whereby such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

     

     

    

5.8             
Transferees Bound; Opinion of Counsel. As a condition of any Disposition, whether to a Permitted Transferee or pursuant
to Section 5.7 above, the transferee must execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership such other instruments
as the General Partner may deem necessary or advisable to effect such transfer, including, without limitation, the written acceptance
and adoption by such transferee of the provisions of this Agreement. Upon any Disposition, a transferee shall be subject to all
provisions of this Agreement as if originally a party hereto. In addition, no transfer or other disposition of the interest of
a Partner shall be permitted until the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it (or waived
such opinion requirement) that the effect of such transfer or disposition would not:

 

(a)               
result in the Partnership’s assets being considered, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, as “plan
assets” within the meaning of ERISA, or any regulations proposed or promulgated thereunder;

 

(b)              
result in a violation of the Securities Act or any comparable state law;

 

(c)               
require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act;

 

(d)              
require the Partnership, the General Partner, or any shareholder of the General Partner to register as an investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

 

(e)               
result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 708 of the Code, unless such
termination would have no adverse effect upon the Partnership or any Partner;

 

(f)               
result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation by the transferring Partner, the Partnership, the General Partner,
or any shareholder of the General Partner;

 

(g)               
cause the Partnership to be a “publicly traded partnership” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the
Code; or

 

(h)              
result in a violation of this Agreement.

 

Such legal opinion shall be provided to the General
Partner by the transferring Partner or the proposed transferee. Any costs associated with such opinion shall be borne by the transferring
Partner or the proposed transferee. Upon request, the General Partner will use its good faith diligent efforts to provide any information
possessed by the Partnership and reasonably requested by a transferring Partner to enable it to render the foregoing opinion. The
General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive the requirement of an opinion of counsel provided for in this Section 5.8.

 

5.9             
Myers Purchase Option. It is understood that SCC has encumbered certain assets of the Company in order to collateralize
a loan agreement (“The Loan”) In the event of a dissolution, foreclosure, repossession or disposition of any assets
or bankruptcy filing of SCC occurring during the period that this loan agreement is in place, Myers, or their assignee, shall have
the exclusive right to purchase SCC’s fifty-percent ownership interest in the Company, in accordance with the Call Option
Agreement dated May 29th, 2015. The Company must satisfy the Lender’s security interest in the collateral held
by Lender for The Loan. However, in no case will the Company be required to pay an amount greater than 65% of the then-current
Net Orderly Liquidation Value (“NOLV”) of the specific assets of the Company identified and used as collateral as part
of the Security Agreement between SCC and the lender. It is the intent that all such payments (as mentioned above) made to the
lender by the Company will be sufficient to release, in total, all UCC filings on those specific assets, giving the Company clear
title to all such Company assets. In the event of an SCC dissolution, foreclosure or bankruptcy after The Loan has been fully paid
with respect to amounts collateralized by the Company’s assets, Myers, or his assignee, shall have the exclusive right to
purchase SCC’s fifty-percent ownership interest in the Company for a one-time payment equal to $10,000. 

 

     

     

    

5.10         
SCC Purchase Obligation.

 

(a)               
Transfer Upon Sale. In addition to those other Transfers contemplated in this Article V, upon the acquisition of
all or substantially all of the assets of SCC by a third party, or the sale, merger, consolidation or other business combination
of SCC with or to a third party in which the holders of a majority of the equity interests of SCC before such event no longer hold
a majority of the equity interests of the resulting entity after such event, then SCC shall purchase
from the General Partner and the other Limited Partners (collectively, the “Selling Partners”) (and the Selling
Partners shall be required to sell to SCC) the Percentage Interests of the Selling Partners (with
such purchase to be made in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.10).

 

(b)              
Valuation Methodology.

 

(i)                
The purchase price of the Percentage Interests of the Selling Partners shall be determined by mutual agreement of SCC and
the Selling Partners or, if such parties cannot agree, by an independent valuation performed by a mutually-selected, nationally
recognized investment banking firm or certified public accounting firm (“Independent Financial Expert A”). Upon
completion of its assignment, Independent Financial Expert A shall notify the parties in writing of Independent Financial Expert
A’s determination of the value of each Selling Partner’s Percentage Interest. Within five business days after receiving
written notice by Independent Financial Expert A, each Partner party may object to the valuation. Such objecting Partner shall
evidence their objection by written notice (“Notice of Objection”) sent to the other Partners within the five
business day period. If a party sends such Notice of Objection to the other Partners then, within ten business days of the other
Partners receiving such notice, SCC and the Selling Partners (it being agreed that the Selling Partners shall together select a
single expert) shall designate a nationally recognized, investment banking firm or certified public accounting firm (“Independent
Financial Experts B and C”). Within 15 business days after being selected, Independent Financial Experts B and C shall
mutually-select a third nationally recognized, investment banking firm or certified public accounting firm (“Independent
Financial Expert D”) that shall prepare a final and binding determination of each Selling Partner’s Percentage
Interest. The costs of Independent Financial Experts A, C and D shall be paid for by SCC, and the cost of Independent Financial
Expert B shall be paid for by the Selling Partners.

 

(ii)              
Regardless of the determination of value of each Selling Partner’s Percentage Interest by any of the methods described
in Section 5.10 (b) (i) above, , the minimum aggregate value of the Selling Partners’ Percentage Interests shall not be less
than the undistributed net taxable income attributable to the Selling Partners’ Percentage Interests, plus the greatest of
one of the following pro rata the Selling Partner’s Percentage Interest: (A) five times the average of the Partnership’s
EBITDA for the previous three fiscal years; (B) the sum of the Partnership’s assets less liabilities, plus the difference
between the orderly liquidation value of all land, construction and transportation equipment and all other capitalized assets listed
on the Partnership’s balance sheet, less the then-current book value for those same assets; (C) five times the Partnership’s
total EBITDA for the trailing twelve months prior to the transaction close date;

 

     

     

    

(c)               
All closings of a Transfer under this Section 5.10 will be held at the Partnership’s principal office
and shall take place on the date agreed by the Selling Partners and SCC, unless the price and valuation per Percentage Interest
is contested, in which case the closing shall take place at the principal office of the Partnership at 10:00 am on the tenth business
day after the applicable Independent Financial Expert delivers its valuation of the Selling Partners’ Percentage Interests
(or such other time or place as the parties may agree). All transfer taxes imposed on the Transfer shall be payable by the selling
Partner(s), and all other closing costs shall be allocated in the manner customarily allocated between buyers and sellers of ownership
interests in similar ventures in the State of California.

policy on Clinton Wallace Myers’ life which policy shall then become a part of this agreement as Exhibit B.
SCC shall be named as the sole and direct beneficiary under, and the sole owner of, such Life Insurance Policy. SCC shall be solely
responsible for maintaining such Life Insurance Policy, including paying all premiums and other amounts related thereto, and at
no time shall the Partnership nor Myers have any liability or responsibility whatsoever respecting maintenance of the Life Insurance
Policy.

 

(b)

by Myers (the “Myers Interest”) in accordance with this Section 5.11.

 

(c)               
Purchase Procedures. Upon the death of Clinton Wallace Myers, SCC shall collect the proceeds of the Life Insurance
Policy (the “Life Insurance Proceeds”) and shall purchase the Myers Interest from the Selling Representative
for an amount equal to such proceeds. If, for any reason (except suicide), the Life Insurance Policy renders no Life Insurance
Proceeds, SCC shall purchase the Myers Interest from the Selling Representative using the pricing methodology set forth in Section
5.10(b) above. The closing of the purchase of the Myers Interest (“Myers Interest Closing”) shall occur
at a time mutually acceptable to both the Selling Representative and SCC, but shall in no event be later than sixty (60) days after
the date of Clinton Wallace Myers’ death.

 

(d)              
Direction to Personal Representative. Clinton Wallace Myers and Clinton Charles Myers, by execution of this Agreement,

comply with the terms of this Section 5.11 and to execute any and all documents reasonably required to achieve such
compliance; provided, however, that the failure of Clinton Wallace Myers or Clinton Charles Myers or their spouses to do
so shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Section 5.11.

 

     

     

    

(e)               
No Transfer for Value. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all transactions undertaken
regarding the Life Insurance Policy shall be undertaken so as to avoid the “transfer for value” restrictions imposed
by Section 101(a)(2) of the Code or any successor provision thereto.

 

(f)               
Authority. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Myers holds no incidents of ownership,
as defined in Section 2042 of the Code, with respect to the Life Insurance Policy, and that all incidents of ownership instead
shall be held by, and for the benefit of, the SCC. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed, and the
powers and discretion of the Managers shall be exercised, only in a manner consistent with this intent.

 

5.12         
Purchase of the Myers Interest upon Clinton Wallace Myers’ Permanent Disability. SCC agrees to purchase, within
120 days of the Effective Date, a $20 million Disability Insurance Policy with respect to the permanent disability of Clinton Wallace
Myers (the “Disability Insurance Policy”), which policy shall then become a part of this agreement as Exhibit
C. SCC shall be solely responsible for maintaining the Disability Insurance Policy, including paying all premiums and other
amounts related thereto and at no time shall the Partnership nor Myers have any liability or responsibility whatsoever respecting
maintenance of the Disability Insurance Policy. Upon the “permanent disability” of Clinton Wallace Myers (as defined
by the terms of the actual policy then in place), SCC shall collect the proceeds, if any, of the disability insurance policy (the
“Disability Insurance Proceeds”) and shall purchase the Myers Interest from the Selling Representative for the
full amount of the Disability Insurance Proceeds. If, for any reason (other than Clinton Wallace Myers’ intentional violation
of the policy terms), the Disability Insurance Policy renders no Disability Insurance Proceeds, SCC shall purchase the Myers Interest
from the Selling Representative using the pricing methodology set forth in Section 5.10(b) above.

 

ARTICLE VI

CONTRIBUTIONS, FUNDING, BONDING, OBLIGATIONS AND LOANS

 

6.1             
Capital Contributions.

 

(a)               
Pursuant to Section 6.6 below, SCC is required to provide for all funds necessary for the Partnership normal
conduct of business; provided, however, to the extent that the General Partner reasonably determines that the Partnership requires
additional funds for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may call for additional Capital Contributions from the Limited
Partners pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) at such times and in such amounts as approved by the Partner Committee.
If the General Partner makes a capital call pursuant to this Section 6.1(a), the Limited Partners shall contribute
such additional capital (in cash), in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, within sixty (60) Days of receipt
by the Partners of a written request (a “Capital Call”) from the General Partner for such additional capital.

 

     

     

    

(b)              
If any Partner (a “Non-Contributing Partner”) does not make a Capital Contribution required pursuant
to this Section 6.1, and fails to cure such default within fourteen (14) Days of written notice (the “Default
Date”) delivered by the General Partner to the Non-Contributing Partner, without in any way limiting any remedy which
the Partnership may pursue pursuant to Section 6.1(d) below, such Non-Contributing Partner shall, immediately upon
the Default Date and continuing until the earlier of the Non-Contributing Partner's cure of the default or one (1) year (the “Default
Period”): (i) forfeit all voting rights, if any, (ii) forfeit its designee on the Partner Committee, and (iii) have
any allocations and distributions adjusted to account for the Non-Contributing Partner's lower capital contributions. If the default
is not cured within one (1) year of the Default Date (the last day of such year being the “Dilution Date”),
then the Non-Contributing Partner's Percentage Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the default divided
by the net equity of the Partnership as of the quarter end immediately preceding the Dilution Date. The amount by which the Non-Contributing
Partner’s Percentage Interest is reduced shall be then allocated to the other non-defaulting Partners pro rata based on their
respective Percentage Interests. As an example:

 

	Capital Call default amount	$20,000
	Non-Contributing Partner % Interest	50%
	Net equity of Partnership	$1,000,000
	Formula	$20,000/$1,000,000 = 2%
	New % Interest for Non-Contributing Partner	50%-2% = 48%

 

(c)               
Except as set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to
make any contributions of capital to the Partnership or to make any loan to the Partnership. If the General Partner desires to
seek additional Capital Contributions from the Limited Partners other than Capital Contributions required by this Section
6.1, the provisions of Section 5.5 shall apply.

 

(d)              
The Partners agree that the General Partner’s authority and discretion to enforce any remedy against a Non-Contributing
Partner (including but not limited to the remedies set forth in this Section 6.1) supersede any fiduciary duties
of the General Partner to such Non-Contributing Partner. The Partners further agree that the remedies set forth in this Section
6.1 are fair and reasonable in light of the difficulty in ascertaining the actual damages that would be incurred by the
Partnership and the non-defaulting Partners as a result of the Non-Contributing Partner’s failure to contribute capital when
due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 6.1(a), the Partnership
shall have, but is not required to exercise, all remedies available at law or in equity if any such contribution is not so made.
If any legal proceedings relating to a Non-Contributing Partner are commenced, such Non-Contributing Partner shall pay all costs
and expenses incurred by the Partnership, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with such proceedings.

 

6.2             
Return of Capital Contributions. No Partner is entitled to the return of its Capital Contributions to the Partnership
or to be paid interest in respect of either its Capital Account or any Capital Contribution made by it to the Partnership. No unrepaid
Capital Contribution shall be deemed or considered to be a liability of the Partnership or of any Partner. No Partner shall be
required to contribute or loan any cash or property to the Partnership to enable the Partnership to return any Partner's Capital
Contribution to the Partnership.

 

6.3             
Partners; Contribution; Percentage Interests. The name, address and Percentage Interest of each Partner as of the
Effective Date are set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto. Exhibit A hereto shall be amended by the General
Partner from time to time to affect (i) any additional Capital Contributions made by the Partners, (ii) any adjustment
to the Percentage Interests of the Partners resulting from Capital Contributions made by the Partners other than in accordance
with their Percentage Interests, and (iii) the admission of additional or substituted Partners.

 

     

     

    

6.4             
Computation of Capital Account. Capital Accounts shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

 

6.5             
Facilitation with Financing.

 

(a)               
From time to time, at the request of the General Partner, SCC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, arrange,
facilitate, guarantee and/or secure third-party financing for Partnership equipment and other needs, based on mutually agreed terms.

 

(b)              
 SCC is required to provide for all funds necessary for the Partnership normal conduct of business

 

6.6             
Bonding and Prequalification.

 

(a)               
SCC shall obtain, to the extent commercially available, a surety and bonding line for the Partnership. The amount of this
bond line shall be adequate to support all of the Partnership’s operations with single project limits of at least $150 million
and an aggregate limit of at least $350 million.

 

(b)              
SCC shall further assist in owners’ prequalification procedures for the Partnership and guarantee prequalification
amounts commensurate with the foregoing bonding limits.

 

(c)               
The Partnership shall not indemnify any debt or bonding/surety obligations of SCC or any of its subsidiaries.

(iv)            
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.1 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the
Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other Profits and Losses among the Partners so that, to the extent
possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Profits and Losses and the Regulatory Allocations to the Partners shall be
equal to the net amount that would have been allocated among the Partners if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

(e)               
Section 704(c). Items of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to an asset contributed to the Partnership by a
Partner that has a fair market value (as set forth in this Agreement, or if not set forth in this Agreement, as determined by the
General Partner), at the time of such contribution which is different from its adjusted tax basis shall, for tax purposes only,
be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations thereunder so as to
take into account any variation between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its fair market value at the time of contribution.
Such allocations shall be made in accordance with the traditional method set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

 

7.2             
Distributions.

the existence or nonexistence of any fact or facts that constitute conditions precedent to acts by the General Partner or

or more of the following acts:

 

(a)

reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by it on behalf of the Partnership, while acting on behalf of the Partnership.

 

9.5             
Meetings of Partners. Any matter requiring the approval of the Partners pursuant to this Agreement may be considered
at a meeting of the Partners called by the General Partner or Partners holding at least ten percent (10%) of the Percentage Interests
and held not less than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15) Days after written notice of such meeting, stating the date, time, and
place where such meeting is to be held and the purposes for which it is called, is delivered to the Partners in accordance with
the provisions of Section 13.2. The presence at such meeting of the General Partner and at least a Required Interest

may, however, be taken (i) without a meeting by means of the General Partner's submitting to the Limited Partners, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 13.2, a statement of the matter to be voted on, the purpose thereof, and the period
within which the Limited Partners must respond either in the affirmative or in the negative to the matter in respect of which the

which the Limited Partner in question is deemed to have received such request pursuant to Section 13.2), or (ii) by
means of a telephone conference in which all Partners participating in the meeting and constituting a quorum can hear and speak

of the General Partner and a Required Interest.

 

     

     

    

9.6             
Standards of Care. In the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the General Partner shall use reasonable
efforts to conduct the business of the Partnership in a good and businesslike manner and in accordance with good business practice.
The General Partner shall not be held liable or responsible to any Partner or to the Partnership for any losses sustained or liabilities
incurred, in connection with, or attributable to, errors in judgment, negligence, or other fault of the General Partner, except
that which is attributable to the proven gross negligence or willful misconduct of such General Partner.

 

9.7             
Outside Activities of the Partners. The Partners acknowledge that the General Partner, the Limited Partners and their
respective Affiliates are engaged in activities other than the activities of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Partners acknowledge and agree that as to the General Partner, the business conducted by the Partnership shall be the General Partner's
primary responsibility and the General Partner shall make a good faith effort to devote the majority of its time to the Partnership.
Except as set forth in (i)  that certain Employment Agreement of Clinton W. Myers dated August 1, 2011, and (ii) that
certain Employment Agreement of Clinton C. Myers dated August 1, 2011 (collectively, the “Restrictive Agreements”),
participation in the Partnership shall not in any way act as a restraint on the other present or future business activities or
investments of any Partner (or any Affiliate of a Partner), or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder of any Partner,
whether or not such activities are competitive with the business of the Partnership. Except as set forth in the Restrictive Agreements,
no Partner (or any Affiliate of a Partner) or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder of any Partner shall, under any circumstances,
be obligated or bound to offer or present to the Partnership or any of the other Partners any business opportunity presented or
offered to them or the Partnership as a prerequisite to the acquisition of or investment in such business opportunity by such Partner
(or any Affiliate of such Partner) or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder of such Partner for its account or the account
of others. In furtherance thereof, and except as set forth in the Restrictive Agreements, each of the Partners hereby agrees that
any business or activity in which a Partner (or any Affiliate of a Partner) or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder
of a Partner engages, conducts, or participates outside the Partnership shall be conclusively deemed not to be a business or activity
in competition with or an opportunity of the Partnership. Any such business or activity of a Partner (or any Affiliate of a Partner)
or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder of a Partner may be undertaken with or without notice to or participation therein
by the Partnership or the other Partners. Each Partner and the Partnership hereby waive any right or claim that such Partner or
the Partnership may have against a Partner (or any Affiliate of a Partner) or any employee, officer, director, or shareholder of
a Partner with respect to any such permitted business or activity or the income or profits therefrom. The provisions of this Section
shall not serve, to waive or limit the provisions of any of the Restrictive Agreements binding upon any Partner or any Affiliate
of any Partner.

 

9.8             
General Indemnification. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the General Partner, the members of the Partner Committee, the tax matters partner and their respective managers, members, partners,
principals, officers, employees, affiliates or agents, and all of their respective successors, heirs and assigns (each, an “Indemnified
Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all (a) reasonable fees,
costs, and expenses, including legal fees, paid in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, or demand against the Indemnified
Parties that arises directly or indirectly out of or in any way relates to the Partnership, its properties, business, or affairs
and (b) such claims, actions, and demands and any losses or damages resulting from such claims, actions, and demands, including
amounts paid in settlement or compromise (if recommended by attorneys for the Partnership) of any such claim, action or demand;
provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to any conduct which constitutes willful misconduct, gross negligence,
fraud or bad faith in the performance of an Indemnified Party’s duties. Expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in defending
a claim or proceeding covered by this Section shall be paid by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of such claim
or proceeding, provided the Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified
Party was not entitled to be indemnified. The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall remain in effect as to each Indemnified
Party whether or not such indemnified person continues to serve in the capacity that entitled such person to be indemnified. The
indemnification rights herein contained shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights, remedies, and recourses
to which the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled as against third parties.

 

     

     

    

9.9             
Loan Indemnification.

 

(a)               
During any period in which the General Partner remains obligated under the Loan, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter,
SCC and its affiliates (collectively “SCC Indemnitor”) shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the General Partner and its directors, shareholders, partners, principals, officers, employees, affiliates and
agents, and all of their respective successors, heirs and assigns (each, a “GP Indemnified Party” and collectively,
the “GP Indemnified Parties”) from and against the amount of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs), asserted against or incurred by any GP Indemnified Party from or after the Effective Date arising from, in respect
of, as a consequence of, or in connection with the Loan (“LOC Losses”).

 

(b)              
If any such action or claim for which any GP Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be brought
or asserted against a GP Indemnified Party (each, a “Claim”), such GP Indemnified Party shall promptly notify
SCC Indemnitor in writing, which notice shall set forth the obligation with respect to which the Claim is made, the facts giving
rise to and the alleged basis for such Claim and, if known, the amount of liability. No failure to give such notice shall relieve
SCC Indemnitor of any liability hereunder, except to the extent prejudiced thereby.

 

(c)               
SCC Indemnitor will have the right to defend the GP Indemnified Party against a Claim with counsel of SCC Indemnitor’s
choice so long as (i) SCC Indemnitor notifies the GP Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after the GP Indemnified
Party has given notice of the Claim that SCC Indemnitor will indemnify the GP Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of
any LOC Losses the GP Indemnified Party may suffer, and (ii) SCC Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Claim actively and diligently.
If a firm offer is made to settle a Claim and SCC Indemnitor desires to accept it, but the GP Indemnified Party elects, in writing,
not to do so, then under those circumstances, the GP Indemnified Party may continue the defense, but SCC Indemnitor shall only
be liable for the amount of the proposed settlement or the ultimate liability, whichever is less.

 

(d)              
So long as SCC Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Claim in accordance with Section 9.9(c) above,
(i) the GP Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the
Claim, and (ii) the GP Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect
to the Claim without the prior written consent of the SCC Indemnitor (not to be withheld unreasonably).

 

     

     

    

(e)               
In the event any of the conditions in Sections 9.9(c) or (d) above is or becomes unsatisfied,
following written notice to SCC Indemnitor and ten (10) business days in which to respond, (i) the GP Indemnified Party, acting
reasonably, may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Claim
in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the GP Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from
SCC Indemnitor in connection therewith), (ii) SCC Indemnitor will reimburse the GP Indemnified Party promptly and periodically
for the costs of defending against the Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (iii) SCC Indemnitor will
remain responsible for any LOC Losses the GP Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature
of, or caused by the Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9.9.

 

(f)               
All such LOC Losses payable by SCC Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall be paid from time to time
as incurred, both in advance of and after the final disposition of such action or claim, and upon demand by the GP Indemnified
Party(ies).

confirms, that its interest in the Partnership is to be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution
of any part thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing the

and that any transfer or other disposition of the interest may not be made without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant
to an applicable exemption therefrom. Each Limited Partner further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person, or to any third person, with
respect to its interest in the Partnership.

 

10.2         
Qualifications of the Limited Partners. Each Limited Partner represents that it is an “accredited investor”

Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the
following:

 

(a)               
The sale, transfer or other Disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership;

 

(b)              
The sole remaining General Partner's Bankruptcy, dissolution, or withdrawal from the Partnership (including a Disposition
by the sole remaining General Partner of its entire interest as General Partner in the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6),
unless the remaining Partners agree to continue the Partnership and its business and, if applicable, elect and approve a substitute
general partner;

 

(c)               
The approval of the General Partner and a Super Required Interest; or

 

(d)              
Any event that makes it unlawful for the Partnership business to be conducted.

 

Neither the death, dissolution, mental incompetency,
or Bankruptcy of any Limited Partner nor the admission or substitution of a Person as a Limited Partner shall dissolve, or be deemed
to dissolve, the Partnership or cause any interruption in or affect the continued existence of the Partnership and its business.
To the extent that any event other than those specifically set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c), and (d) hereinabove is determined
to cause, technically, a dissolution of the Partnership, the Partners hereby agree that upon the occurrence of any such event,
the Partnership shall automatically be reconstituted immediately as a new limited partnership on terms identical to those set forth
in this Agreement which shall be composed of the remaining Partners who may continue the business of the Partnership, either alone
or with other Persons, and who shall approve of the general partner of the new partnership.

 

11.2         
Liquidator. If the Partnership is dissolved and is not automatically reconstituted pursuant to Section 11.1
or otherwise reconstituted by the affirmative vote of the General Partner and the Limited Partners, an accounting of the Partnership
assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day of the month in which the dissolution occurs shall be made by by independent
accountants under the accountancy rules and regulations of the State of California selected by the General Partner and the affairs
of the Partnership shall be wound up and terminated. The General Partner shall serve as the liquidator (unless dissolution is caused
by the Bankruptcy of the General Partner, in which event the liquidator shall be a Person approved of by the Limited Partners holding,
in the aggregate, at least a Required Interest). The party actually conducting such liquidation in accordance with the foregoing
sentence is herein referred to as the “Liquidator.” The Liquidator shall have sufficient business expertise
and competence to conduct the Winding Up and termination of the Partnership and, in the course thereof, to cause the Partnership
to perform any contracts which the Partnership has or thereafter enters into. The Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited
discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property pursuant to such liquidation, having
due regard for the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. The Liquidator
(other than the General Partner) appointed as provided herein shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for its
services as shall be agreed upon by the Liquidator and the Partners owning, in the aggregate, at least a Required Interest.

(a)               
Procedures. In the course of the Winding Up and terminating the business and affairs of the Partnership, the Liquidator
shall have the authority to wind up the affairs of the Partnership and to liquidate and distribute the assets of the Partnership.
To accomplish such liquidation, the Liquidator is authorized to do any and all acts permitted by law, including selling Partnership
assets deemed necessary or appropriate by the Liquidator.

 

(b)              
Distribution. Upon liquidation, the assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

 

(i)                
To all creditors of the Partnership, including Partners who are creditors of the Partnership (other than secured creditors
whose obligations will be assumed or otherwise transferred on the liquidation of Partnership assets).

 

(ii)              
To Partners in accordance with their positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all
contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods. Liquidating distributions to the Partners pursuant to this Section
11.3(b) shall be made in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

 

(c)               
Negative Capital Accounts. No Partner shall be required to restore any deficit balance existing on its Capital Account upon
the liquidation and termination of the Partnership.

 

(d)              
Miscellaneous. The Liquidator shall be instructed to use all reasonable efforts to effect complete liquidation of the Partnership
within one year after the date the Partnership is dissolved. Each holder of a Partnership interest shall look solely to the assets
of the Partnership for all distributions and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Partnership,
the General Partner or the Liquidator. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all Partnership
funds, the Partnership shall terminate and the General Partner (or a Limited Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be) shall
have the authority to execute and record all documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

 

11.4         
Creation of Reserves. After making payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Partnership
and all expenses of liquidation, the Liquidator may set up, for a period not to exceed one (1) year after the date of dissolution,
such cash reserves as the Liquidator may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations
of the Partnership.

 

11.5         
Final Audit. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation, the Liquidator shall supply to
each of the Partners a statement, certified by the Independent Accountants if a Limited Partner shall so request, which shall set
forth the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation, each Partner's pro rata portion
of distributions pursuant to Section 11.3, and the amount retained as reserves by the Liquidator pursuant to Section 11.4.

employees and outside experts, and any party seeking to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a Limited Partner (including
but not limited to its attorneys and accountants) on a “need to know” basis, so long as such persons are bound by the
same duties of confidentiality to the Partnership as such Limited Partner, and so long as such Limited Partner shall remain liable
for any breach of this Section 13.16 by such persons; (ii) to the extent that such information is required to be
disclosed in connection with any civil or criminal proceeding; (iii) to the extent that such information is required to be disclosed
by applicable law in connection with any governmental, administrative or regulatory proceeding or filing (including any inspection
or examination or any disclosure necessary in connection with a request for information made under a state or federal freedom of
information act or similar law), after reasonable prior written notice to the General Partner (except where such notice is expressly
prohibited by law); (iv) to the extent that such information was received from a third party not subject to confidentiality limitations
and such Limited Partner can establish that it rightfully received such information from such party other than as a result of the
breach of this Section 13.16; (v) to the extent such information was rightfully in such Limited Partner’s possession
prior to the Partnership’s conveyance of such information to such Limited Partner, as evidenced by the Limited Partner’s
prior written records; or (vi) to the extent that the information provided by the Partnership is otherwise available in the public
domain in the absence of any improper or unlawful action on the part of such Partner. Any Limited Partner seeking to make disclosure
in reliance on the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) above, such Limited Partner shall use its best efforts to claim any relevant
exception under such laws or obligations which would prevent or limit public disclosure of the Confidential Information and provide
the General Partner immediate notice upon the Limited Partner’s receipt of a request for disclosure of any Confidential Information
pursuant to such laws or obligations.

 

(c)               
Each Limited Partner also agrees that any document constituting or containing, or any other embodiment of, any Confidential
Information shall be returned to the Partnership upon the General Partner’s request, provided that each Limited Partner shall
be entitled to retain copies of the same for archival purposes.

 

(d)              
In addition, with respect to each Limited Partner that is subject to any “freedom of information,” “sunshine”
or other law, rule or regulation that imposes upon such Limited Partner an obligation to make information available to the public,
the Partnership hereby requests confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, and such Limited Partner shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to take such action as necessary for such Confidential Information to be exempt from disclosure, to the maximum
extent permitted under such law, rule or regulation.

 

(e)               
Each Limited Partner agrees to notify such Limited Partner’s attorneys, accountants and other similar advisers about
their obligations in connection with this Section 13.16 and will further cause such advisers to abide by the aforesaid
provisions of this Section 13.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership
for any breach of this Section 13.16 by any adviser of such Limited Partner if the adviser is bound by an obligation
to keep such Confidential Information confidential and such Limited Partner agrees to enforce such obligation.

     

     

    

 

13.17     
Partnership Name. The Partnership shall have the exclusive right to use the Partnership name as long as the Partnership
continues. Upon termination of the Partnership, the Partnership shall assign whatever rights it may have in such name to the General
Partner. No value shall be placed upon the name or the goodwill attached to it for the purpose of determining the value of any
Partner’s Capital Account or interest in the Partnership.

 

13.18     
Counsel to the Partnership. Hanson Bridgett LLP has been engaged by the General Partner to represent the Partnership
in connection with this Agreement. As attorney for the Partnership, Hanson Bridgett LLP’s duties of care and loyalty will
be owed only to the Partnership and not to any Partner. Each Partner acknowledges (a) that he, she or it has consulted with or
has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his, her or its own choice concerning this Agreement and has been
advised to do so by the Partnership, and (b) that he, she or it has read and understands this Agreement.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sterling Construction Company, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, whose address for purposes of this Secured Revolving Promissory Note (“Note”) is 1800 Hughes Landing,
Blvd., Suite 250, The Woodlands, TX 77380 (“Maker”) has and continues to receive cash sweep loans from Road and Highway
Builders, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and Myers & Sons Construction, L.P., a California limited partnership (each
a “Holder” and collectively “Holders”) pursuant and subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Road
and Highway Builders, LLC Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, and all amendments and restatements thereof (collectively,
the “RHB Agreement”), and Section 8.4(a) of the Myers & Sons Construction, L.P. Second Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement, and all amendments and restatements thereof (collectively, the “Myers Agreement”). Maker promises
to pay Holders at the Place of Payment the principal sum of Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000.00) or so much thereof as Holders
shall have been advanced from time to time to Maker plus interest from the date of the inception of the loan on the principal balance
from time to time outstanding at the rate of 2% above Prime Rate per annum until paid in full. 

 

All principal outstanding on this Note shall
be paid in full in one payment on January 2, 2018 (unless such maturity date is extended by written agreement of the parties hereto).
All interest payable on sums due under this Note shall either be (i) paid to Holders on a monthly basis no later than the last
business day of the month, or (ii) added to the outstanding principal balance of this Note on such date as long as such addition
does not cause the Note amount to exceed the Maximum Committed Amount. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Any capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have
the meaning as ascribed to such terms in the RHB Agreement or Myers Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the terms, conditions, rights and obligations of the parties set forth in the RHB Agreement and Myers Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be waived or diminished in any way by the terms of this Note or any Deed of Trust.

 

     

     

    

Payment on this Note is secured by Deeds of
Trust on certain real property owned by Maker and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates. Such Deeds of Trust are attached hereto as
Exhibit A. This Note, the Deeds of Trust, the RHB Agreement and the Myers Agreement shall hereinafter be collectively referred
to as the “Loan Documents.”

 

The Maker may at any time and from time to time
prepay, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, any of the principal balance.

 

The Note shall become immediately due and payable
without notice or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events of default (individually, “an Event
of Default” and collectively “Events of Default”):

 

1.    Maker voluntarily files for bankruptcy protection or is
involuntarily placed in bankruptcy (and such involuntary petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of being filed);

 

2.    Maker (i) agrees in writing to sell Maker
or all or substantially all of Maker’s or its subsidiaries’ assets or business interests without the Holder’s
consent (sales of securities on a nationally recognized securities market are exempt from this provision) and Maker fails to provide
for the payment in full of all proceeds toward the payment of this Note in full, or (ii) takes affirmative steps towards liquidation
of Maker;

 

3.    Travelers or another surety calls any
guaranties or provides funding or payment of Maker’s accounts payable or collects or attaches contract receivables, and same
is not rescinded within thirty (30) days thereafter;

 

4.    A Holder cannot meet its contractual or
legal payment requirements to subcontractors, vendors or other third party creditors which Holder would have been otherwise able
to make if this Note was not in place, and same is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to Maker;

 

5    Maker fails to maintain any secured collateral
in good condition as required by the Deeds of Trust and such failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice
to Maker;

 

6.    Maker attempts to subvert Holder’s
first priority lien on any secured real property;

 

7.    Maker defaults or is in breach in any
way on the Deeds of Trust or the Note, and such default or breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from the Holders to Maker; and/or

 

8.    A sweep by Maker of a Holder’s cash
causes the total debt owed hereunder to exceed the Maximum Committed Amount which was not consented to by the applicable Holder
hereunder, and such debt is not reduced within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from a Holder of a default under this provision.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Holders shall have then, or at any time thereafter, all of the rights and remedies afforded a secured creditor by the Uniform Commercial
Code as from time to time in effect in the State of Texas or provided for in the Loan Documents or under applicable law. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the amount outstanding under this Note shall be determined once Maker closes its book in the normal
course of business at the end of each month.

 

     

     

    

From the date of the execution of this Note,
Maker shall have ninety (90) days to cause the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be equal to or less than the value
of all of the collateral securing this Note. In the event that Maker fails to do this within the allotted time frame, Maker will
be in default on this Note. The value of the following real estate collateral shall be $12,200,000.00, unless otherwise mutually
agreed upon by Maker and Holder: (i) 5638 FM 1346, San Antonio, Texas 78220; (ii) St. Hedwig Rd., San Antonio, Texas 78220; (iii)
3475 High River Rd., Fort Worth, Texas 76155; and (iv) 20800 Fernbush Ln., Houston, Texas 77073.

 

Maker agrees to pay on demand all costs of collection,
including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Holder in connection with any action taken to enforce
the terms of this Note.

 

No delay or omission on the part of the Holders
in exercising any right under this Note or the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of such right of any other right of Holders,
nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one accession be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any future
occasion. The Maker regardless of the time, order or place of signing waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any every
kind, except as specifically required herein.

 

If any amounts under this Note become due and
payable on a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks in the State of Texas are authorized by law to remain closed, such amount
shall be paid on the next succeeding day that such banks are open for business.

 

Payments of principal and interest shall be
made to the Holders hereof in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender
for the payment of private debts at the offices of Holders.

 

This Note is intended to memorialize the loan
agreements between the parties set forth in the RHB Agreement and the Myers Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as a modification
or waiver of the rights and remedies of Maker, Holders, or any other party contained in such agreements, or any future amendments
or modifications of such agreements, and all rights and remedies contained in such agreements shall remain in full force and effect.
To the extent necessary, this Note memorializes and replaces any other notes or loan agreements between the parties.

 

All rights and obligations hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Venue for any dispute relating this this Note or any other Loan Document shall lie
in the State District Courts of Tarrant County, Texas.

 

IN WITNESS WHEROF, Maker has caused this Secured
Revolving Promissory Note to be executed as of the date set forth above.
