        including those which may be described on any exhibit or schedule attached to this Agreement.  Borrower understands and agrees that:  (A)  in granting, renewing, or extending any Loan, Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties,
        and agreements as set forth in this Agreement;  (B)  the granting, renewing, or extending of any Loan by Lender at all times shall be subject to Lender's sole judgment and discretion; and  (C)  all such Loans shall be and remain subject to the
        terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement and Related Documents as they relate to the relative rights and priorities of the Lender and Bridging Finance Inc. in the
        Intercreditor Agreement as to the Borrowers, including their respective first priority security interests in the collateral described therein, shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined herein).

       

      TERM.  This Agreement shall be effective as of July 15, 2020, and shall
          continue in full force and effect until such time as all of Borrower's Loans in favor of Lender have been paid in full, including principal, interest, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other fees and charges, or until such time as the parties
          may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement.

       

      ADVANCE AUTHORITY.  The following person or persons are authorized, except
          as provided in this paragraph, to request advances and authorize payments under the line of credit until Lender receives from Borrower, at Lender's address shown above, written notice of revocation of such authority:  Werner Von Pein; Sharla Cook; and Robert Sauermann.  HOWEVER, either authorized signer may request an advance together or individually.

       

      LINE OF CREDIT.  Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to
          time from the date of this Agreement to the Expiration Date, provided the aggregate amount of such Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed the Borrowing Base.  Within the foregoing limits, Borrower may borrow, partially or wholly prepay,
          and reborrow under this Agreement as follows:

       

      Conditions Precedent to Each Advance.  Lender's obligation to make any
          Advance to or for the account of Borrower under this Agreement is subject to the following conditions precedent, with all documents, instruments, opinions, reports, and other items required under this Agreement to be in form and substance
          satisfactory to Lender:

       

      (1)  Lender shall have received evidence that this Agreement and all Related Documents have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Borrower to Lender.

       

      (2)  Lender shall have received such opinions of counsel, supplemental opinions, and documents as Lender may request.

       

      (3)  The security interests in the Collateral shall have been duly authorized, created, and perfected with first lien priority on its Revolving Loan Priority Collateral as
        defined under the Intercreditor Agreement and shall be in full force and effect.

       

      (4)  All guaranties required by Lender for the credit facility(ies) shall have been executed by each Guarantor, delivered to Lender, and be in full force and effect.

       

      (5)  Lender, at its option and for its sole benefit, shall have conducted an audit of Borrower's Accounts, Inventory, books, records, and operations, and Lender shall be
        satisfied as to their condition.

       

      (6)  Borrower shall have paid to Lender all fees, costs, and expenses specified in this Agreement and the Related Documents as are then due and payable.

       

      (7)  There shall not exist at the time of any Advance a condition which would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender the
        compliance certificate called for in the paragraph below titled "Compliance Certificate."

       

      Making Loan Advances.  Advances under this credit facility, as well as
          directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested in writing by authorized persons.  Each Advance shall be conclusively deemed to have been made at the request of and for the benefit of Borrower (1)  when credited to any deposit
          account of Borrower maintained with Lender or (2)  when advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person.  Lender, at its option, may set a cutoff time, after which all requests for Advances will be treated as having been
          requested on the next succeeding Business Day.

       

      Mandatory Loan Repayments.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount
          of the outstanding Advances shall exceed the applicable Borrowing Base, Borrower, immediately upon written notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and the
          Borrowing Base.  On the Expiration Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then outstanding and all accrued unpaid interest, together with all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if
          any, not yet paid.

       

      Loan Account.  Lender shall maintain on its books a record of account in
          which Lender shall make entries for each Advance and such other debits and credits as shall be appropriate in connection with the credit facility.  Lender shall provide Borrower with periodic statements of Borrower's account, which statements
          shall be considered to be correct and conclusively binding on Borrower unless Borrower notifies Lender to the contrary within thirty (30) days after Borrower's receipt of any such statement which Borrower deems to be incorrect.

       

      COLLATERAL.  To secure payment of the Primary Credit Facility and
          performance of all other Loans, obligations and duties owed by Borrower to Lender, Borrower (and others, if required) shall grant to Lender Security Interests in such property and assets as Lender may require.  Lender's Security Interests in the
          Collateral shall be continuing liens and shall include the proceeds and products of the Collateral, including without limitation the proceeds of any insurance.  With respect to the Collateral, Borrower agrees and represents and warrants to
          Lender:

       

      
        
          

      

      Perfection of Security Interests.  Borrower agrees to execute all
          documents perfecting Lender's Security Interest and to take whatever actions are requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender's Security Interests in the Collateral.  Upon request of Lender, Borrower will deliver to Lender any and all of
          the documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral, and Borrower will note Lender's interest upon any and all chattel paper and instruments if not delivered to Lender for possession by Lender.  Contemporaneous with the execution of this
          Agreement, Borrower will execute one or more UCC financing statements and any similar statements as may be required by applicable law, and Lender will file such financing statements and all such similar statements in the appropriate location or
          locations.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to perfect or to continue any Security Interest.  Lender may at any time, and without further authorization from
          Borrower, file a carbon, photograph, facsimile, or other reproduction of any financing statement for use as a financing statement.  Borrower will reimburse Lender for all expenses for the perfection, termination, and the continuation of the
          perfection of Lender's security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower promptly will notify Lender before any change in Borrower's name including any change to the assumed business names of Borrower.  Borrower also promptly will notify Lender
          before any change in Borrower's Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number.  Borrower further agrees to notify Lender in writing prior to any change in address or location of Borrower's principal governance office or should Borrower
          merge or consolidate with any other entity.

          against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and  (2)  agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims, losses, liabilities,
          damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened
          release of a hazardous waste or substance on the Collateral.  The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the termination, expiration or
          satisfaction of this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

       

      Litigation and Claims.  No litigation, claim, investigation,
          administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Borrower is pending or threatened in writing, and no other event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Borrower's financial condition or
          properties, other than litigation, claims, or other events, if any, that have been disclosed to Lender in writing.

          writing, Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or permitted the filing or attachment of any Security Interests on or affecting any of the Collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower's Loan and
          Note, that would be prior or that may in any way be superior to Lender's Security Interests and rights in and to such Collateral.

       

      Binding Effect.  This Agreement, the Note, all Security Agreements (if
          any), and all Related Documents are binding upon the signers thereof, as well as upon their successors, representatives and assigns, and are legally enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

          notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized.  Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to
          Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

       

      Inspection.  Permit (but not more than once annually, except to the
          extent there is an event of default, in which case Lender shall not be limited to inspect and examine the Collateral more than once annually) employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or
          Loans and Borrower's other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books, accounts, and records.  If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records

          Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless such environmental activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental
          authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or instrumentality

      Additional Assurances.  Make, execute and deliver to Lender such
          promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect all
          Security Interests.

       

      LENDER'S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that
          would materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
          Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or
          paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by
          Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower.  All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option,
          will  (A)  be payable on demand;  (B)  be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either  (1)  the term of any applicable insurance policy; or  (2)  the remaining
          term of the Note; or  (C)  be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity.

       

      NEGATIVE COVENANTS.  Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while
          this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender:

       

      Continuity of Operations.  (1)  Engage in any business activities
          substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged,  (2)  cease operations, liquidate, merge or restructure as a legal entity (whether by division or otherwise), consolidate with or acquire any other entity, change its
          name, convert to another type of entity or redomesticate, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or  (3)  pay any dividends on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable in its stock), provided,
          however that notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
          of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under
          federal and state law which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend
          Borrower's capital structure.

          money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2)  purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or  (3)  incur any obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.

       

      Agreements.  Enter into any agreement containing any provisions which
          would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

       

      CESSATION OF ADVANCES.  If Lender has made any commitment to make any
          Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:  (A)  Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
          any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with Lender;  (B)  Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is
          adjudged a bankrupt;  (C)  there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or  (D)  any Guarantor seeks, claims or
          otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender.

       

      RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender
          reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  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.

       

      DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
          under this Agreement:

       

      Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment following five (5)
          days’ written notice of such payment being due under the Loan.

       

      Transfers, Indebtedness and Liens.  Borrower, without the prior written
          consent of Lender, fails to continue to own all of Borrower's assets, except for routine transfers, use or depletion in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, creates or grants to any
          person, except Lender, any lien, security interest, encumbrance, cloud on title, mortgage, pledge or similar interest in any of Borrower's property, even in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; or, Borrower, without the prior written
          consent of Lender, sells, conveys, grants leases, gives, contributes, assigns, or otherwise transfers any of Borrower's assets, except for sales of inventory or leases of goods in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.  (Initial Here _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ )

       

      Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other
          term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement 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.

       

      Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor defaults
          under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's or any Grantor's property or Borrower's or any
          Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

       

      False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or
          furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time
          thereafter.

       

      
        
          

      

      Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
          going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy
          or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

       

      Defective Collateralization.  This Agreement or any of the Related
          Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

       

      Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or
          forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan.  This includes a garnishment of any of
          Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
          forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole
          discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

       

      Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with
          respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

       

      Change in Ownership.  Any change in ownership of greater than fifty
          percent (50%) of the common stock of Borrower.

       

      Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
          condition, or Lender reasonably believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan is impaired.

       

      Right to Cure.  If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is
          curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after Lender sends written notice to
          Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, demanding cure of such default:  (1)  cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or  (2)  if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole
          discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

       

      EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.  If any Event of Default shall occur,
          except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to
          make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in
          the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional.  In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.  Except as may
          be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to
          make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

       

      COUNTERPARTS. This document may be executed in any number of counterparts
          and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

       

      REVOLVING REQUIREMENT. (Borrower's Initials:  __________________)  I
          agree the line of credit will revolve during the term of the loan.

       

      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.  The following miscellaneous provisions are a
          part of this Agreement:

      Arbitration.  Borrower and Lender agree
            that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the
            financial services rules of J.A.M.S. or its successor in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party.  No act to take or dispose of any Collateral shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited
            by this arbitration agreement.  This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a
            receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Any disputes, claims, or controversies
            concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the Collateral, shall also be arbitrated,
            provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party.  Borrower and Lender agree that in the event of an action for judicial foreclosure pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
            Section 726, or any similar provision in any other state, the commencement of such an action will not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate and the court shall refer to arbitration as much of such action, including counterclaims, as
            lawfully may be referred to arbitration.  Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of
            competent jurisdiction.  The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of
            an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes.  The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

       

      Attorneys' Fees; Expenses.  Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of
          Lender's costs and expenses, including Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and Borrower shall
          pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement.  Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts
          to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.  Borrower also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

       

      Caption Headings.  Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience
          purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement.

       

      
        
          

      

      Consent to Loan Participation.  Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
          sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender.  Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers,
          or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters.  Borrower
          additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests.  Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered
          as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests.  Borrower further waives all rights of offset or
          counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's obligation under the Loan irrespective of
          the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan.  Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have
          against Lender.

       

      Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of
        California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of California.

       

      Choice of Venue.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
          request to submit to the jurisdiction of the Federal or state courts located in Orange County, State of California.

       

      Joint and Several Liability.  All obligations of Borrower under this
          Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower shall mean each and every Borrower.  This means that each Borrower signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement.  Where any one or more of the parties is a
          corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of any of the officers, directors, partners, members, or other agents acting or purporting to act on the entity's
          behalf, and any obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Agreement.

       

      No Waiver by Lender.  Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
          rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.  No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  A waiver by Lender of a
          provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.  No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
          between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Borrower's or any Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions.  Whenever the consent of Lender is required
          under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
          discretion of Lender.

       

      Notices.  Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
          given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the
          United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement.  Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written
          notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address.  For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower's current address.  Unless otherwise provided or
          required by law, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be notice given to all Borrowers.

       

      Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
          of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other person or circumstance.  If feasible, the
          offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable.  If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement.  Unless otherwise required by law, the
          illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

       

      Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower.  To the extent the context of
          any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word "Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower's subsidiaries and affiliates. 
          Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of Borrower's subsidiaries or affiliates.

       

      Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of
          Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind Borrower's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.  Borrower shall not, however, have the right to assign Borrower's
          rights under this Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

       

      Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Borrower understands and
          agrees that in extending Loan Advances, Lender is relying on all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or the
          Related Documents.  Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by Lender, all such representations, warranties and covenants will survive the extension of Loan Advances and delivery to Lender of the Related Documents, shall
          be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made and redated by Borrower at the time each Loan Advance is made,  and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower's Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement
          shall be terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.

       

      Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence in the performance of
          this Agreement.

       

      Waive Jury.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, all parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or
        counterclaim brought by any party against any other party.

      PROMISE TO PAY.  Better Choice Company Inc.; Trupet LLC; Halo, Purely For Pets, Inc.; and Bona Vida, Inc. ("Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to
        Citizens Business Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($7,500,000.00) 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.

       

      PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender’s demand upon an Event of Default.  If such demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan
        in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on July 5, 2022.  In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning September 5, 2020, 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; 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.

       

      VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  Subject to designation of a different interest
          rate index by Borrower as provided below, the interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the Citizens Business Bank Prime Rate of Interest.  This Index is determined by Citizens
          Business Bank from time to time as a means of pricing credit extensions to some customers and is neither tied to any external rate of interest or index nor necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Citizens Business Bank at any given
          time for any particular class of customers or credit extensions (the "Index").  The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole discretion.  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 day.  Borrower
          understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.  The Index currently is 3.250% per annum.  Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the
          "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a rate of 0.250 percentage points over the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 3.500%.  NOTICE:  Under no
          circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 3.250% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

       

      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.  All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.  This calculation method results in a higher
        effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Note.

       

      DISCOUNTED RATE. Borrower shall receive an interest rate discount of
          one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) off the effective rate of the loan so long as Borrower opens and/or maintains a Demand Deposit Account with Lender and has the loan payments automatically debited from the designated checking account each month.
          In the event Borrower fails to maintain the Demand Deposit Account and automatic payments the effective rate of the loan shall immediately increase by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%). (Borrower's
            initials:________________).

       

      INTEREST RATE OPTIONS.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set
          forth herein, Borrower will be able to select, from one of the following Rate Options, an interest rate which will be applicable to a particular dollar increment of amounts outstanding, or to be disbursed, under this Note.  Principal shall be
          payable as specified herein in the "Payment" section, and interest shall be payable as specified for each Rate Option.  The following Rate Options are available to Borrower:

       

      (A)  Default Option.  The interest rate margin and index described in the "VARIABLE INTEREST RATE" paragraph herein (the "Default
        Option").

       

      (B)  THIRTY (30) DAY LIBOR RATE.  A margin of 2.500 percentage points over THIRTY (30) DAY LIBOR RATE.  For purposes of this Note,
        THIRTY (30) DAY LIBOR RATE shall mean Intercontinental Exchange London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) for a Thirty (30) day period, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal.  The amount that the interest rate may vary under this Rate
        Option is limited by a rate floor of 3.250% per annum. Interest based on this Rate Option will be fixed (a "Fixed Rate Option") for 30 days (the "Interest Period"), in any case extended to the next succeeding business day when necessary, beginning
        on a borrowing date, conversion date or expiration date of the then current Interest Period.  Adjustments in the interest rate due to changes in the maximum nonusurious interest rate allowed (the "Highest Lawful Rate") shall be made on the
        effective day of any change in the Highest Lawful Rate.  Under this Rate Option, Borrower shall make monthly interest payments on the same day of the month, with a final payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the last day of such Interest
        Period and, in the case of an Interest Period greater than three (3) months, at three month (3 month) intervals after the first day of such Interest Period.

       

      The following provisions concerning Rate Options are a part of this Note:

       

      Selection of Rate Options.  Provided Borrower is not in default under
          this Note, Borrower may request (a "Rate Request") that a $500,000.00 increment or any amount in excess thereof (an "Increment") of the outstanding principal of, or amounts to be disbursed under, this Note bear interest at the selected rate. 
          Borrower may make this Rate Request by telephonic notice, however no later than 10:00 AM PDT three (3) business days prior to the effective date of the Rate Request to permit Lender to quote the rate requested.

       

      Applicable Interest Rate.  Borrower's Rate Request will become effective,
          and interest on the increment designated will be calculated at the rate (the "Effective Rate"), which Borrower requested, for the applicable Interest Period, subject to the following:

       

      
        
          

      

      (1)  Notwithstanding any Rate Request, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the Default Option if  (a)  Lender, in good faith, is unable to ascertain the requested Rate
        Option by reason of circumstances then affecting the applicable money market or otherwise,  (b)  it becomes unlawful or impracticable for Lender to maintain loans based upon the requested Rate Option, or  (c)  Lender, in good faith, determines that
        it is impracticable to maintain loans based on the requested Rate Option because of increased taxes, regulatory costs, reserve requirements, expenses or any other costs or charges that affect such Rate Options.  Upon the occurrence of any of the
        events described in this "Interest Rate Options" section, any increment to which a requested Rate Option applies shall be immediately (or at the option of Lender, at the end the current applicable Interest Period), without further action of Lender
        or Borrower, converted to an increment to which the Default Option applies.

       

      (2)  Borrower may have no more than a total of 2 Effective Rates applicable to amounts outstanding under this Note at any given time.

       

      (3)  A Rate Request shall be effective as to amounts to be disbursed under this Note only if, on the effective date of the Rate Requests, such amounts are in fact disbursed to
        or for Borrower's account in accordance with the provisions of this Note and any related loan documents.

       

      (4)  Any amounts of outstanding principal for which a Rate Request has not been made, or is otherwise not effective, shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default
        Option.

       

      (5)  Any amounts of outstanding principal bearing interest based upon a Rate Option shall bear interest at such rate until the end of the Interest Period for that Rate Option,
        and thereafter shall bear interest based upon the Default Option unless a new Rate Request for a Rate Option complying with the terms hereof has been made and has become effective.

       

      (6)  Upon default Lender shall no longer be obligated to honor any Rate Requests.

       

      (7)  No Interest Period shall extend beyond the maturity date of this Note.

       

      Notices:  Authority to Act.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
          agreement of Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for Borrower's convenience.  Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the person purporting to be a person authorized by Borrower to give such notice, and
          Lender shall have no liability to Borrower on account of any action taken by Lender in reliance upon such telephonic notice.  Borrower's obligation to repay all sums owing under the Note shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any
          failure by Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by Lender to be contained in the telephonic notice.

       

      PREPAYMENT.  Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance
          charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law.   Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without
          penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  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:  Citizens Business Bank, P.O. Box
            4118 Ontario, CA  91761.

       

      INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, the interest rate on this Note
          shall, if permitted under applicable law, immediately increase by adding an additional 5.000 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin").  The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have
          applied had there been no default.

       

      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 following five (5)
          days’ written notice of such payment being due under this Note.

       

      Transfers, Indebtedness and Liens.  Borrower, without the prior written
          consent of Lender, fails to continue to own all of Borrower's assets, except for routine transfers, use or depletion in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, creates or grants to any
          person, except Lender and as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement (as such term is defined in the corresponding Business Loan Agreement), any lien, security interest, encumbrance, cloud on title, mortgage, pledge or similar interest in any
          of Borrower's property, even in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; or, Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, sells, conveys, grants leases, gives, contributes, assigns, or otherwise transfers any of Borrower's assets,
          except for sales of inventory or leases of goods in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.  (Initial Here _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ )

       

      Other Defaults.  Borrower fails in any material respect 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.

       

      Default in Favor of Third Parties.  Borrower or any Grantor defaults
          under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note
          or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

       

      False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or
          furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

       

      Insolvency.  The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
          going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy
          or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

       

      Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or
          forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan.  This includes a garnishment of any of
          Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
          forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole
          discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

       

      
        
          

      

      Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with

      Change In Ownership.  Any change in ownership of greater than fifty
          percent (50%) of the common stock of Borrower.

       

      Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
          condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

       

      Cure Provisions.  If any default is curable, other than a default in
          payment, and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such
          default:  (1)  cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or  (2)  if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter
          continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

       

      LENDER'S RIGHTS.  Upon default (and expiration of all cure periods),
          Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

       

      ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help
          collect this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower will pay Lender that amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
          attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals.  Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

       

      JURY WAIVER.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or
        counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.

       

      GOVERNING LAW.  This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of
        California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of California.

       

      CHOICE OF VENUE.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
          request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Orange County, State of California.

       

      RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender
          reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  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.

       

      COLLATERAL.  Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by the following
          collateral described in the security instrument listed herein:

       

      (A)  a Commercial Security Agreement dated July 15, 2020 made and executed between Better Choice Company Inc., Trupet LLC, Halo, Purely For Pets, Inc. and Bona Vida, Inc. and
        Lender on collateral described as:  inventory, chattel paper, accounts, equipment and general intangibles.

       

      LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. 
          Advances under this Note may be requested in writing by Borrower or as provided in this paragraph.  All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown above.  The
          following person or persons are authorized, except as provided in this paragraph, to request advances and authorize payments under the line of credit until Lender receives from Borrower, at Lender's address shown above, written notice of
          revocation of such authority:  Werner Von Pein; Sharla Cook; and Robert Sauermann.  HOWEVER, either authorized signer may request an advance together or individually.  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.

       

      ARBITRATION.  Borrower and Lender agree
            that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Note or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the financial
            services rules of J.A.M.S. or its successor in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party.  No act to take or dispose of any collateral securing this Note shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be
            prohibited by this arbitration agreement.  This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or
            imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Any disputes, claims, or
            controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any collateral securing this Note, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the collateral
            securing this Note, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party.  Borrower and Lender agree that in the event of an action for judicial foreclosure
            pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, or any similar provision in any other state, the commencement of such an action will not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate and the court shall refer to arbitration as much
            of such action, including counterclaims, as lawfully may be referred to arbitration.  Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Note shall preclude any party from
            seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.  The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any
            arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes.  The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this
            arbitration provision.

       

      COUNTERPARTS. This document may be executed in any number of counterparts
          and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

       

      
        
          

      

      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.

       

      NOTIFY US OF INACCURATE INFORMATION WE REPORT TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES.

Borrower's written notice describing the specific inaccuracy(ies) should be sent to Lender at the
          following address: Citizens Business Bank Loan Documentation/Servicing P. O. Box 4118 Ontario, CA 91761.

       

      GENERAL PROVISIONS.  This Note is payable on demand.  The inclusion of
          specific default provisions or rights of Lender shall not preclude Lender's right to declare payment of this Note on its demand.  If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note.  Lender may delay or
          forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.  Each Borrower understands and agrees that, with or without notice to Borrower, Lender may with respect to any other Borrower  (a) make one or more additional
          secured or unsecured loans or otherwise extend additional credit;  (b) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of any indebtedness, including increases and decreases
          of the rate of interest on the indebtedness;  (c) exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any security, with or without the substitution of new collateral;  (d)  apply such security and direct the order
          or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreements, as Lender in its discretion may determine;  (e) release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any
