1.5         Intentionally
Omitted.

 

1.6         Increased
Costs Generally.

 

(a)          If
any Change in Law shall:

 

		(i)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances,
loans or other credit extended or participated in by, the Lender;

 

		(ii)	subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect
thereof; or

 

		(iii)	impose on the Lender any other condition, cost or expense
affecting this Agreement or the Loan made by the Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Loan (or of maintaining its obligations
to make the Loan), or to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing or maintaining any letter of credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any letter of credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the
Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon at least forty-five (45) days written notice from
Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reductions suffered after the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(b)          Capital
Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital
of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitment of the Lender hereunder or the
Loan made by the Lender hereunder, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon at least forty-five (45) days written notice from the Lender,
the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered after the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period.

 

(c)          Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the
date that the Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions,
and of the Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 6-month period referred to above shall not be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).

 

(e)          Limitations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 1.6, Borrower shall not be required to so reimburse Lender (i) unless
Lender, at the time of the request for reimbursement, is generally assessing such amounts on a nondiscriminatory basis
against similarly-situated borrowers under its other loan agreements that have similar increased costs provisions., or (ii)
if the increased costs to Lender giving rise to such demand for reimbursement by Borrower are a result of the imposition by a
Governmental Entity of fines or penalties against Lender for Lender’s non-compliance with applicable laws or
regulations.

 

2.           USE
OF PROCEEDS.

 

2.1           Use

Borrower, the Bank, or the other Subsidiaries and Lender shall operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege granted to
Lender under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or available to Lender at law or in equity.

 

8.12         Rights
Cumulative. All rights, powers and privileges granted hereunder shall be cumulative to and shall not be exclusive of any other
rights, powers and privileges granted by any other Loan Document or available at law or in equity.

 

8.13         Indemnity.
Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender, and all directors, officers, employees and agents of Lender, from
and against any and all (i) claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever brought by any Person not a party to
this Agreement and arising from or related or incident to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation,
any liability under federal or state securities laws arising out of Lender’s disposition of all or part of the Collateral,
(ii) costs and expenses incident to the defense of such claims, demands and causes of action, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, and (iii) liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties and assessments arising from such claims, demands
and causes of action; provided, however, that Borrower does not agree to indemnify Lender against Lender’s own fraud, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct, or any liabilities resulting therefrom. The indemnity contained in this section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

8.14         Expenses.
Borrower agrees to promptly reimburse Lender for (i) all costs and expenses of collection of the Note, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, and (ii) all expenses incurred by Lender in acting on behalf of Borrower, the Bank or the other Subsidiaries in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or to maintain or preserve the value of the Collateral, or Lender’s interest therein pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement, or any other Loan Document. Such sums shall include interest at the maximum rate allowed by law accruing
from the date Lender requests such reimbursement.

 

8.15         Usury.
It is the intent of the parties hereto not to violate any federal or state law, rule or regulation pertaining either to usury or
to the contracting for or charging or collecting of interest, and Borrower, the Bank, and the other Subsidiaries, and Lender agree
that, should any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document or any act performed hereunder or thereunder,
violate any such law, rule or regulation, then the excess of interest contracted for or charged or collected over the maximum lawful
rate of interest shall be applied to the outstanding principal indebtedness due to Lender by Borrower under this Agreement, and
if the principal indebtedness has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower.

 

8.16         Jurisdiction
and Venue. Borrower, the Bank, and the other Subsidiaries, and Lender agree, without power of revocation, that any civil suit
or action brought against them as a result of , or which relates to, any of their obligations under this Agreement or under any
other Loan Document may be brought against them, jointly or singly, in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Tennessee, and Borrower, the Bank, the other Subsidiaries, and Lender irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such court and
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objections that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of
the venue of such civil suit or action and any claim that such civil suit or action has been brought in an inconvenient forum,
and Borrower, the Bank, and the other Subsidiaries, and Lender agree that final judgment in any such civil suit or action shall
be conclusive and binding upon them and shall be enforceable against them by suit upon such judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

 

8.17         Construction.
Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the parties hereto agree that the court interpreting or
construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason
of the rule of construction that a document is to be more strictly construed against the party who itself or through its agents
prepared the same, it being agreed that Borrower, Lender and their respective agents have participated in the preparation hereof.

 

8.18         Holidays.
In any case where the date for any action required to be performed under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall
be, in the city where the performance is to be made, a Saturday, a Sunday, a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions
are authorized by law to close, then such performance may be made on the next succeeding business day not a Saturday, a Sunday,
a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close. 

 

    	 	22

The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower, the Bank, and the other Subsidiaries was not based upon

contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

 

8.20         Consent.
Borrower hereby represents and warrants that to the best of Borrower’s Knowledge there is no consent from any lender or creditor
needed to prevent Borrower, the Bank, or the other Subsidiaries from being in default by Borrower executing the Note or Borrower,
the Bank, and the other Subsidiaries executing, this Loan Agreement or any other loan document associated with this Loan.

 

8.21         Waiver
Of Right To Trial By Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED

OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH,
OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES
AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY
PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT
OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

8.22         Further

by Bank. The undersigned Bank is joining this Agreement for the sole purpose of acknowledging the pledge of its Capital Stock
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

 

    	 	23	 

     

    

 

8.24         Non-Control.
In no event shall the Lender’s rights hereunder be deemed to indicate that the Lender is in control of the business, management
or properties of the Borrower or the Bank or has power over the daily management functions and operating decisions made by the
Borrower and the Bank, all such rights and powers being hereby expressly reserved to the Borrower and the Bank.

 

8.25         Assignments
and Participations. Lender may sell or offer to sell the Loan or interests therein to one or more assignees or participants.
Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith,
and to the extent, if any, specified in any such assignment or participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the
same rights and benefits with respect to the Loan Documents as such Person(s) would have if such Person(s) were Lender hereunder.
Lender may disseminate any information it now has or hereafter obtains pertaining to the Loan, including any security for the Loan,
Borrower, Bank, any other Subsidiary, any of Borrower’s, Bank’s, or any other Subsidiary’s principals, or any
guarantor, if any, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant, to Lender’s affiliates, to any regulatory body having
jurisdiction over Lender, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to Lender and the Loan, or to any other party as necessary or appropriate in Lender’s reasonable judgment.

 

8.26         Electronic
Transmission of Data. Lender and Borrower agree that certain data related to the Loan (including confidential information,
documents, applications and reports) may be transmitted electronically, including transmission over the internet to the parties,

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) there are risks associated with the use of electronic transmission and that Lender does
not control the method of transmittal or service providers, (b) Lender has no obligation or responsibility whatsoever and assumes
no duty or obligation for the security, receipt or third party interception of any such transmission, and (c) Borrower and Bank
will release, hold harmless and indemnify Lender from any claim, damage or loss, including that arising in whole or part from Lender’s
strict liability or sole, comparative or contributory negligence, which is related to the electronic transmission of data.

 

8.27         USA
PATRIOT Act. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower and any guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and any guarantors, which information includes

any guarantors in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

 

8.28         No
Inference of Extension Past Maturity Date. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the terms, conditions, and requirements

TERM NOTE

 

	$11,000,000.00	Memphis, Tennessee
	 	May ____, 2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned, CITIZENS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order
of FIRST TENNESSEE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association having its principal place of business in Memphis,
Tennessee ("Bank"), the principal sum of ELEVEN MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($11,000,000.00), together with interest from
date until maturity, upon disbursed and unpaid principal balances, at the rate hereinafter specified, said principal and interest
being payable as follows:

 

		(i)	Interest only, computed on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding shall be
payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of each quarter hereafter for one year (i.e., August 15, 2016, November 15, 2016, February
15, 2017, and May 15, 2017);

 

		(ii)	Thereafter, the unpaid principal balance hereof shall be payable in sixteen (16) consecutive quarterly
principal installments, installment nos. 1 to 15, both inclusive, being in the amount of Three Hundred Five Thousand Five Hundred
Fifty-Five and 56/100 Dollars ($305,555.56) each, and installment no. 16, a balloon payment, being for the entire then-unpaid principal
balance, the first of said installments of principal being due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of August, 2017, and one
on the fifteenth (15th) day of each quarter thereafter (i.e., each November 15, February 15, May 15, and August 15) until all are
fully paid (with the final installment, if not sooner paid, being due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of May 2021); and

 

		(iii)	Interest on the indebtedness hereby evidenced shall be paid quarterly concurrently with the payment
of such principal installments.

 

This Note is being issued
pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date, between the Maker and the Bank as said agreement may be amended or
modified (the "Loan Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such
terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

    	 	A-1	 

     

    

 

The interest rate on the
Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index (the "Index") which is the LIBOR
Rate (as hereinafter defined), adjusted and determined as of the opening of business on the first (1st) day of the month
in which this Note is dated (the "Initial Pricing Date") and on the first (1st) day of each quarter hereafter
(the "Interest Rate Change Date"). The "LIBOR Rate" shall mean the London Interbank Offered Rate of interest
for an interest period of ninety (90) days, as reported in The Wall Street Journal published on the Interest Rate Change
Date of each quarter (rounded upward to the next whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent (1/16 of 1%)). Each change in the
Index (as hereinafter defined) which results from a change in the LIBOR Rate shall become effective, without notice to the Maker,
on each Interest Rate Change Date following any change in the LIBOR Rate; provided, however, that if The Wall Street Journal
is not published on such date, the LIBOR Rate shall be determined by reference to The Wall Street Journal last published
immediately preceding such date (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Bank on its
loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, the Bank may designate a reasonably equivalent substitute
index after notice to the Maker. The Bank will tell the Maker the current Index rate upon any such substitution. The interest rate
change will not occur more often than each quarter. The Maker understands that the Bank may make loans based on other rates as
well. The Index currently is 0.6366% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note (the
“Contract Rate”) will be at a rate of two and 70/100 percent (2.70%) (the "Margin"),
over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 3.3366% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will
the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provisions herein, if any Change in Law (as hereafter defined) shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain a LIBOR
Rate loan as contemplated by this Note, the principal outstanding hereunder shall, if required by law and if the Bank so requests,
be converted on the date required to make the loan evidenced by this Note legal to a loan according interest at the lesser of the
Maximum Rate or the base commercial rate of interest ("Base Rate") established from time to time by the Bank. Each change
in the Base Rate shall become effective, without notice to the Maker, on the same date that the Base Rate changes. The Maker hereby
agrees promptly to pay the Bank, upon demand, any reasonable costs incurred by the Bank in making any conversion in accordance
with this paragraph, including any interest or fees payable by the Bank to lenders of funds obtained by Bank in order to maintain
its LIBOR Rate loans.

 

The Maker hereby indemnifies
the Bank and holds the Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a default
by the Maker in payment of the principal amount of or interest on the loan evidenced hereby, including any such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by the Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate
loans; or (ii) a Change in Law that results in the imposition on the Bank of reserve requirements in connection with LIBOR Rate
loans made by the Bank. The Maker will make any payments under this indemnity to Bank, upon demand. The Maker further agrees to
enter into a modification of this Note, at the request of the Bank, to bring this Note into compliance with any Change in Law.

 

"Change in Law"
shall mean the adoption of any law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or
any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in all cases by Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Bank, in each case after the date hereof.

 

"Governmental Authority"
shall mean any nation or government, any state or other political subdivision thereof and any entity exercising regulatory function
of or pertaining to government.

 

The annual interest rate
for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual 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.

 

    	 	A-2	 

     

    

 

In the event that the foregoing
provisions should be construed by a court of competent jurisdiction not to constitute a valid, enforceable designation of a rate
of interest or method of determining same, the indebtedness hereby evidenced shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) ten
percent (10%) per annum or (b) the maximum effective variable contract rate which may be charged by the Bank under applicable
law from time to time in effect (the "Maximum Rate").

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Bank, at its option, may charge, and the Maker
agrees to pay, interest on disbursed and unpaid principal balances at the default rate (the "Default Rate") per annum
equal to the lesser of (a) the Maximum Rate or (b) (i) the Contract Rate plus (ii) four percent (4%).

 

Any amounts not paid when
due hereunder (whether by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest after maturity at the Default Rate.

 

For any payment which is
not made within ten (10) days of the due date for such payment, the Maker shall pay a late fee. The late fee shall equal five percent
(5%) of the unpaid portion of the past-due payment.

 

This Note is secured by
the Pledge Agreement, and may now or hereafter be secured by other mortgages, trust deeds, assignments, security agreements, or
other instruments of pledge or hypothecation.

 

All installments of interest,
and the principal hereof, are payable at the office of First Tennessee Bank National Association, 165 Madison Avenue, Memphis,
Tennessee 38103, or at such other place as the holder may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America,
which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.

 

If the Maker shall fail
to make payment of any installment of principal or interest, within ten (10) days of its due date, or upon any default in the terms
and provisions of any of the Security Documents, or upon any default in any other mortgage, trust deed, security agreement, or
other instrument of pledge or hypothecation which now or hereafter secures the payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement (including the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement), or upon the death or dissolution of the Maker or (if the Maker, is a partnership, the death or dissolution of
any general partner thereof), or upon any default in the payment or performance of any other indebtedness, liability or obligation
now or hereafter owed by the Maker to the holder hereof, if any such default is not cured within any cure period applicable thereto,
then and in any such event following written notice to the Maker, the entire unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, together with all interest then accrued, shall, at the absolute option of the holder hereof, at once become due and payable,
without demand or notice, the same being expressly waived and Bank may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted by law or
equity, or as set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

    	 	A-3	 

     

    

 

If this Note is placed
in the hands of an attorney for collection, by suit or otherwise, or to protect the security for its payment, or to enforce its
collection, or to represent the rights of the Bank in connection with any loan documentation executed in connection herewith, or
to defend successfully against any claim, cause of action or suit brought by the Maker against the Bank, the Maker shall pay on
demand all costs of collection and litigation (including court costs), together with a reasonable attorney's fee. These include,
but are not limited to, the Bank's reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
attorney's fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction) and appeals.

 

The Bank and the Maker
hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Bank or Maker against the
other.

 

To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Bank reserves a right of setoff in all the Maker's accounts with the Bank (whether checking, savings, or
some other account). This includes all accounts the Maker 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. The Maker authorizes the Bank, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at the Bank's
option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow the Bank to protect the Bank's charge and setoff rights provided
in this paragraph.

 

The undersigned agrees
to furnish a current financial statement upon the request of the Bank from time to time, and further agrees to execute and deliver
all other instruments and take such other actions as the Bank may from time to time reasonably request in order to carry out the
provisions and intent hereof.

 

To help the government
fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each business entity that opens an account. What this means to Maker: When Maker opens an
account, the Bank will ask for Federal Tax Identification Number, physical street address, full legal name of the Maker and other
information that will allow the Bank to identify Maker. The Bank may also ask Maker to provide copies of certain documents that
will aid in confirming this information.

 

The Maker and any endorsers
or guarantors hereof waive protest, demand, presentment, and notice of dishonor, and agree that this Note may be extended, in whole
or in part, without limit as to the number of such extensions or the period or periods thereof, without notice to them and without
affecting their liability thereon. Maker agrees that borrowers, endorsers, guarantors and sureties may be added or released without
notice and without affecting Maker’s liability hereunder. The liability of Maker shall not be affected by the failure of
Bank to perfect or otherwise obtain or maintain the priority or validity of any security interest in any collateral. The liability
of Maker shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party hereto.

 

    	 	A-4	 

     

    

 

It is the intention of
the Bank and the Maker to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall
the holder hereof ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent
to interest, in excess of the maximum effective contract rate which the Bank may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and
laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that the holder hereof ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such
excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
amount of the indebtedness hereby evidenced; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all lawful interest
thereon and all lawful fees and charges in connection therewith, are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid
to the Maker, or other party lawfully entitled thereto. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by the Maker shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in
full of the principal so that the interest hereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between the holder hereof and the Maker, that operates to bind, obligate,
or compel the Maker to pay interest in excess of such maximum effective contract rate shall be construed to require the payment
of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein
or in any other agreement between the holder hereof and the Maker that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

 

This Note shall be governed
and construed according to the statutes and laws of the State of Tennessee from time to time in effect, except to the extent that
Section 85 of Title 12 of the United States Code (or other applicable federal statute) may permit the charging of a higher
rate of interest than applicable state law, in which event such applicable federal statute, as amended and supplemented from time
to time shall govern and control the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged hereunder; it being intended that, as to
the maximum rate of interest which may be charged, received, and collected hereunder, those applicable statutes and laws, whether
state or federal, from time to time in effect, which permit the charging of a higher rate of interest, shall govern and control;
provided, always, however, that in no event and under no circumstances shall the Maker be liable for the payment of interest in
excess of the maximum rate permitted by such applicable law, from time to time in effect.

 

The principal amount of
this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time without penalty or premium, provided, however,
that if an Interest Rate Swap has been entered into in connection with this Note, any full or partial prepayments of principal
amounts due under this Note may require termination or adjustment of the Interest Rate Swap and may result in a payment due from
Maker per the terms and conditions of the Interest Rate Swap.

 

Bank is hereby authorized
to disclose any financial or other information about Maker to any regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over Bank and to
any present, future or prospective participant or successor in interest in any loan or other financial accommodation made by Bank
to Maker. The information provided may include, without limitation, amounts, terms, balances, payment history, return item history
and any financial or other information about Maker. However, subject to applicable law, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to protect
the confidentiality of the terms and conditions of the Loan in all other respects.

 

    	 	A-5	 

     

    

 

The invalidity or unenforceability
of any one or more provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid
or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid
or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

The covenants, conditions,
waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Note shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Note cannot be assigned
by Maker without the prior written consent of Bank, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Maker without consent shall
be void and of no effect with respect to Bank.

 

Bank may from time to time
sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in, the Loan, this Note and/or the obligations evidenced thereby.
The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Bank and such holder so provides,
shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Bank; and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the
rights of setoff or banker’s lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to Maker, in each case as fully
as though Maker were directly indebted to such holder. Bank may in its discretion give notice to Maker of such sale, assignment
or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Bank’s or such holder’s rights hereunder.

 

Maker irrevocably appoints
each and every member and/or officer of Maker as its attorneys upon whom may be served, by certified mail at the address set forth
in the Loan Agreement, or such other address as may be directed by Maker, in writing, any notice, process or pleading in any action
or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Note or any other Loan Document; and Maker hereby consents that
any action or proceeding against it be commenced and maintained in any state or federal court sitting in Memphis, Shelby County,
Tennessee, by service of process on any such owner, partner and/or officer; and Maker agrees that such courts of the State shall
have jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter hereof and the person of Maker and all collateral securing the obligations
of Maker. Maker agrees not to assert any defense to any action or proceeding initiated by Bank based upon improper venue or inconvenient
forum.

2.          Obligations

existing or hereafter arising (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Obligations”); except that the indebtedness
and other liabilities secured by this Agreement shall not include any indebtedness subject to the disclosure requirements of the

will execute and deliver any proxies or other instruments reasonably requested by Pledgor for the purpose of enabling Pledgor to
exercise the voting rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph 7(a)(1).

 

(b)          Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, all rights
of Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting rights attributable to the Pledged Securities or any part thereof
pursuant to subparagraph 7(a)(1) or otherwise shall cease, and Lender and its successors and assigns shall have the
sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights after obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals. In furtherance
of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender and its officers as the proxies and attorneys-in-fact of
and for Pledgor, with full power to exercise or to refrain from exercising any and all voting rights attributable to the Pledged
Securities upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such default or event of default. The foregoing appointment and
power, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Obligations have been fully and irreversibly satisfied.

 

8.          Remedies
Upon Default.

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have all of the rights, powers, privileges, options and remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Tennessee, and without limiting the foregoing, Lender may
(1) collect any and all amounts payable in respect of the Pledged Securities and exercise any and all rights, powers, privileges,
options and remedies of the holder and owner thereof, and (2) sell, transfer or negotiate the Pledged Securities, or any part
thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Lender shall deem appropriate, including without
limitation, at Lender’s option, the purchase of all or any part of the Pledged Securities at any public sale by Lender. Upon
consummation of any sale, Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Pledged Securities so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or
right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal
that Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereinafter enacted.
Pledgor hereby expressly waives notice to redeem and notice of the time, place and manner of such sale.

 

(b)          Pledgor
recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), applicable state securities laws, and other applicable laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation
the rules and regulations of any Bank Regulatory Authority), Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part
of the Pledged Securities, to limit purchasers to those who agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their
own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private
sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including,
without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding
such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
and that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Securities
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such sale under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if Pledgor would agree to do so.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(c)          If
Lender determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Securities, upon written request, Pledgor from time to
time shall, and shall cause each issuer of the Pledged Securities to be sold hereunder to, furnish to Lender all such information
as Lender may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Securities that
may be sold by Lender as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder,
as the same are from time to time in effect.

 

9.          Application
of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale of Pledged Securities sold pursuant to Section 8, and the proceeds of the
exercise of any of Lender’s other remedies hereunder, shall be applied by Lender as follows:

 

First:
To the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such sale, including, but not limited
to, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Lender in connection therewith, and

 

Second:
To the payment in full of the Obligations, in such order of priority as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, and

 

Third:
The excess, if any, shall be paid to Pledgor or any other person lawfully thereunto entitled.

 

10.         Reimbursement
of Lender. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Lender, upon demand, for all expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s
fees, incurred by it in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, and agrees to indemnify Lender and
hold it harmless from and against any and all liability incurred by it hereunder or in connection herewith, unless such liability
shall be due to fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Lender.

 

11.         No
Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Lender preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

12.         Limitation
of Liability. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Pledged Securities, and shall
not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of the certificates or other instruments representing Pledged Securities in its possession and the accounting for monies actually
received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty as to any Pledged Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Lender shall have no responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Securities, regardless of whether Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of
such matters, (b) taking any necessary steps (other than steps in accordance with the standard of care set forth above to
maintain possession of the certificates or other instruments representing Pledged Securities in its possession) to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to the Pledged Securities, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect or realize upon any
of the Obligations or any of the Pledged Securities, or (d) initiating any action to protect the Pledged Securities against
the possibility of a decline in market value. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation
of the certificates or other instruments representing Pledged Securities in its possession if such items are accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property consisting of negotiable securities.

 

13.         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts or copies, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof for all purposes.
One or more counterparts or copies of this Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto, and some different counterparts
or copies executed by one or more of the other parties. Each counterpart or copy hereof executed by any party hereto shall be binding
upon the party executing same even though other parties may execute one or more different counterparts or copies, and all counterparts
or copies hereof so executed shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Each party hereto, by execution of one or more counterparts
or copies hereof, expressly authorizes and directs any other party hereto to detach the signature pages and any corresponding acknowledgment,
attestation, witness or similar pages relating thereto from any such counterpart or copy hereof executed by the authorizing party
and affix same to one or more other identical counterparts or copies hereof so that upon execution of multiple counterparts or
copies hereof by all parties hereto, there shall be one or more counterparts or copies hereof to which is(are) attached signature
pages containing signatures of all parties hereto and any corresponding acknowledgment, attestation, witness or similar pages relating
thereto.

 

14.         Binding
Agreement. This Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and to all holders of indebtedness secured hereby and their respective successors and assigns.

 

15.         Further
Assurances. Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments,
agreements and instruments (including but not limited to the execution and delivery and filing of UCC financing statements with
respect to the security interests of this Agreement), as Lender at any time may request in connection with the administration and
enforcement of this Agreement or relative to the Pledged Securities or any part thereof or in order to assure and confirm unto
Lender its rights and remedies hereunder.

16.         Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to
any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

17.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Tennessee, without reference to the conflicts
