Options, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve, including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of retirement, death, disability or
otherwise. 
 7. Restricted Units. The Committee may also from time to time authorize grants or sales to any Participant
of Restricted Units upon such terms and conditions as it may determine in accordance with this Section 7. Each grant or sale will constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Units to the Participant in consideration of the performance
of services, entitling such Participant to ownership rights, but subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7. Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements,
contained in the following provisions: 
 (a) Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration or
in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Unit at the Date of Grant, except as may otherwise be required by law. 
 (b) Each grant or sale may limit the Participant’s right to UDRs with respect to the Restricted Units during the period in which the Restricted Units are subject to any such restrictions. 

(c) Each grant or sale will provide that the Restricted Units will be subject, for a period to be
determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, to one or more restrictions, including without limitation a restriction that constitutes a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and the
regulations of the Internal Revenue Service under such section. Except as provided in Section 7(d) or 7(e), or otherwise provided by the Committee from time to time, the restrictions imposed on Restricted Units will not terminate at a rate that
is faster than 1/3rd of the Restricted Units on each
anniversary of the Date of Grant. 
 (d) Any grant or sale may specify the Management Objectives that, if
achieved, will result in the termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Units, provided that the Performance Period associated with such Management Objectives will be a period of no less than 12 calendar
months. 
 (e) Any grant or sale may provide for the early termination of any such restrictions in the event of a
Change in Control or other similar transaction or event or the Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death, disability, retirement or otherwise. 

(f) Each grant or sale will provide that during the period for which such restriction or restrictions are to continue, the
transferability of the Restricted Units will be prohibited or restricted in a manner and to the extent prescribed by the Committee at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include without limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in favor
of the Partnership or provisions subjecting the Restricted Units to continuing restrictions in the hands of any transferee). 

  
 9 

 (g) Any grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Restricted Units or
any Units issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with respect to the Restricted Units of any conduct of the Participant determined by the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant interest of the
Partnership or any of its Affiliates. 
 (h) Each grant or sale will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which
may contain such terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve, including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of
retirement, death, disability or otherwise. 
 8. Phantom Units. The Committee may also from time to time authorize
grants or sales to any Participant of Phantom Units upon such terms and conditions as it may determine in accordance with this Section 8. Each grant or sale of a Phantom Unit will constitute the agreement by the Partnership to issue or transfer
a Unit (or an amount in cash equal to the Market Value per Unit) to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Committee may specify.
Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions: 
 (a) Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Unit on the Date of
Grant, except as may otherwise be required by law. 
 (b) Each grant or sale will provide
that the Phantom Units will be subject to a Deferral Period, which will be fixed by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Except as provided in Section 8(c), 8(d) or 10(d), or otherwise provided by the Committee from time to time, the Deferral
Period will not terminate at a rate that is faster than
1/3rd of the Phantom Units on each anniversary of the Date
of Grant. 
 (c) Any grant or sale may specify the Management Objectives that, if achieved, will result in the
termination or early termination of the Deferral Period, provided that the Performance Period associated with such Management Objectives will be a period of no less than 12 calendar months. 

(d) Any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period in the event of a Change in Control
or other similar transaction or event or the Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death, disability, retirement or otherwise. 
 (e) During the Deferral Period, the Participant will not have any right to transfer any rights under the Phantom Units, will not have any rights of ownership in the Phantom Units and will not have any
right to vote the Phantom Units, but the Committee may on or after the Date of Grant authorize the payment of DERs on such Units in cash or Units on a current, deferred or contingent basis. 

  
 10 

 (f) Any grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Phantom Units or
any Units issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with respect to the Phantom Units of any conduct of the Participant determined by the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant interest of the Partnership
or any of its Affiliates. 
 (g) Each grant or sale will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which will contain
such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of retirement, death,
disability or otherwise. 
 9. Performance Units and Performance Bonuses. The Committee may also from time to time
authorize grants to Participants of Performance Units and Performance Bonuses, which will become payable upon achievement of specified Management Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as it may determine in accordance with this Section 9.
Each such grant may utilize any or all of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions: 
 (a) Each grant will specify the number of Performance Units or the value of the Performance Bonus to which it relates. 

(b) The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Unit and Performance Bonus will be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant.

payment of Performance Units or Performance Bonuses which have become payable, which payment may be made in (i) cash, (ii) Units having an aggregate Market Value per Unit equal to the aggregate value of the Performance Units or Performance
Bonuses which have become payable or (iii) any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of payment. 
 (e) Any grant of Performance Units may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. Any grant of a Performance Bonus may
specify that the amount payable, or the number of Units issued, with respect to the Performance Bonus may not exceed maximums specified by the Committee on the Date of Grant. 

(f) On or after the Date of Grant, the Committee may provide for the payment to the Participant of DERs on Performance
Units in cash or Units on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

any Units issued, or other payment made, with respect to the Performance Units or Performance Bonus of any conduct of the Participant determined by the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant interest of the
Partnership or any of its Affiliates. 
 (h) Each grant will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which will contain such terms
and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the Plan, including without limitation provisions relating to the payment of the Performance Units or Performance Bonus in the event of a Change in Control or other similar transaction or
event and provisions relating to the Participant’s termination of employment or other termination of service. 
 10. Awards to
Eligible Directors. 
 (a) Annual Equity Grant. On the first business day of each calendar year, each Eligible
Director will receive a grant of Phantom Units with a value equal to the “Annual Equity Grant Amount,” which shall be $70,000 on the date hereof and shall be adjusted from time to time by resolution of the Board. For this purpose, the
number of Phantom Units to be granted to an Eligible Director will be determined based on the Market Value per Unit on the first business day of the applicable calendar year. 
 If an individual first becomes an Eligible Director on a date other than the first business day of a calendar year, such individual will receive a grant of Phantom Units on the date he or she becomes a
member of the Board. The value of the grant shall be equal to (i) the Annual Equity Grant Amount if the individual becomes an Eligible Director prior to July 1st of the calendar year, or (ii) one-half of the Annual Equity Grant Amount
if the individual becomes an Eligible Director on or after July 1st of the calendar year. For this purpose, the number of Phantom Units to be granted to an Eligible Director will be determined based on the Market Value per Unit on the date the
Eligible Director first becomes a member of the Board. 
 Each individual who is an Eligible Director on the effective date of
this restatement to the Plan shall receive an additional grant of Phantom Units which shall have a value of $20,000, except as otherwise provided by resolution of the Board. For this purpose, the number of Phantom Units to be granted to each such
Eligible Director will be determined based on the Market Value per Unit on May 11, 2012. 
 For purposes of this
Section 10(a), an Eligible Director who ceases to be a member of the Board and thereafter becomes an Eligible Director again will be deemed to first become an Eligible Director, as applicable, on the date that such individual again becomes an
Eligible Director. 
 (b) Annual Cash Awards. Effective for periods on and after January 1, 2012, each Eligible
Director shall receive cash compensation equal to the “Annual Cash Award Amount,” which shall be $70,000 per year of on the date hereof and shall be adjusted from time to time by resolution of the Board. Except as provided in
Section 10(d) below, this

cash award shall be paid on a quarterly basis, with the payment to be made during the applicable calendar quarter, provided the individual must be an Eligible Director on the date such quarterly
payment is made. If an individual first becomes an Eligible Director on a date other than the first business day of a calendar year, his or her Annual Cash Award shall be equal to (i) the Annual Cash Award Amount if the individual becomes an
Eligible Director prior to July 1st of the calendar year, or (ii) one-half of the Annual Cash Award Amount if the individual becomes an Eligible Director on or after July 1st of the calendar year. The Board may, in its sole
discretion, designate that some or all of the Eligible Directors shall not receive grants of Annual Cash Awards for service on the Board. 
 For purposes of this Section 10(b), an Eligible Director who ceases to be a member of the Board and thereafter becomes an Eligible Director again will be deemed to first become an Eligible Director
on the date that such individual again becomes an Eligible Director. 
 (c) Additional Cash Compensation. In addition to
any Annual Cash Award that is payable under Section 10(b) above, the chairman of a designated committee of the Board may receive “Additional Cash Compensation” for the calendar year during which such service is performed. The Board
shall, from time to time, designate that a payment shall be made to the chairman of a specific committee of the Board and also shall designate the amount of the Annual Additional Cash Compensation payable to such individual. Except as provided in
Section 10(d) below, the Additional Cash Compensation shall be paid on a quarterly basis, with the payment to be made during the applicable calendar quarter, provided the Director must continue to serve as the Chairman of the applicable
committee until the date such quarterly payment is made. Amounts paid under this Section 10(c) shall be eligible for deferral under Section 10(d) below. 
 (d) Deferral of Annual Cash Awards. An Eligible Director may elect to receive an additional grant of Phantom Units in lieu of his or her Annual Cash Retainer under Section 10(b) or Additional
Cash Compensation under Section 10(c). If an Eligible Director makes an election to receive a grant of Phantom Units under this Section 10(d), then the grant shall be made on the first business day of the applicable calendar year. The
number of Phantom Units to be granted to an Eligible Director under this Section 10(d) will be determined by dividing the amount of cash compensation the Phantom Units are replacing by the Market Value per Unit as of the first business day of
the applicable calendar year. 
 If an Eligible Director is appointed to the Board during a calendar year, then he may elect to
defer any portion of the Annual Cash Retainer which is payable under Section 10(b), provided that such election must be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Eligible Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan and
will apply only to compensation paid for services performed after the election. In the event that an Eligible Director makes an election pursuant to the preceding sentence, the number of Phantom Units to be granted to such Eligible Director will be
determined by dividing the amount of cash compensation the Phantom Units are replacing by the Market Value per Unit as of the date on which he or she first became a member of the Board. 

  
 13 

 If an Eligible Director becomes entitled to receive Additional Cash
Compensation during a calendar year, then the election made with respect to his or her Annual Cash Retainer shall apply to such Additional Cash Compensation; provided, however, that the number of Phantom Units to be granted to such Eligible Director
with respect to the Additional Cash Compensation will be determined by dividing the amount of cash compensation the Phantom Units are replacing by the Market Value per Unit as of the first business day immediately following the effective date of his
or her appointment as the Chairman of the applicable committee of the Board. 
 All elections to receive a grant
of Phantom Units in lieu of cash compensation will be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee that are designed to satisfy the deferral election requirements under Section 409A of the Code and must be made (i) for
individuals who are Eligible Directors on January 1st of a calendar year, on or prior to the last day of the preceding calendar year, and (ii) for individuals who become Eligible Directors during a calendar year, within 30 days after the
date the Eligible Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, provided such election will apply only to compensation paid for services performed after the election is received by the Company. 

(e) Each grant of Phantom Units made to an Eligible Director under this Section 10 may utilize any or all of the
authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the following provisions: 
 (i) Each grant of Phantom Units under Section 10(a) will become nonforfeitable as to 1/3rd of the total number of Units subject thereto on the fifteenth (15th) day of January of the first three calendar years beginning
after the Date of Grant; provided, in each case, that the Eligible Director who received the Phantom Units has remained a member of the Board through each such date. 

(ii) Each grant of Phantom Units under Section 10(d) will become nonforfeitable on the fifteenth
(15th) day of January of the first calendar year
beginning after the Date of Grant; provided, in each case, that the Eligible Director who received the grant of Phantom Units has remained a member of the Board through such date. 

(iii) Except as provided in an Evidence of Award, if an Eligible Director ceases to be a member of the Board prior to the
end of a Deferral Period for any reason, the Eligible Director will immediately forfeit all nonvested Phantom Units, unless the Board, in its discretion, terminates the Deferral Period. 

11. Transferability. No Award may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that a Participant who is an officer of the General Partner or an Affiliate may, with the prior approval of the Committee, transfer an Option to family
members of the Participant, including to trusts in which family members of the Participant own more than 50% of the beneficial interests, to foundations in which family members of the Participant or the Participant controls the management of assets
and to other 

  
 14 

 
entities in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by family members of the Participant or the Participant. No Option or Appreciation Right granted to a Participant will be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime by any Person other than the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or any permitted transferee. 

12. Adjustments. 
 (a) The Committee will make or provide for such adjustments in (i) the maximum number of Units specified in Section 4, (ii) the number of Units covered by outstanding Options, Appreciation
Rights, Performance Units and Restricted Units granted under the Plan, (iii) the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to any Options and Appreciation Rights, and (iv) the kind of securities covered by any such Awards (including
securities of another issuer), as is equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from (x) any distribution (whether in the form of cash, Units, other securities or other
property), combination or exchange of Units or other securities, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Partnership, or (y) any merger, consolidation, separation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or issuance of warrants to purchase securities, or (z) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
foregoing. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards such alternative consideration as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the
circumstances and may require in connection with such substitution the surrender of all Awards so replaced. 

(b) The Committee may accelerate the payment of, or vesting with respect to, any Award under the Plan upon the occurrence
of a transaction or event described in this Section 12; provided, however, that in the case of any Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee will not accelerate the
payment of the Award unless it determines in good faith that such transaction or event satisfies the requirements of a change in control event under guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 409A of the Code. 

13. Fractional Units. The Partnership will not be required to issue or deliver any fractional Units pursuant to the Plan. The
Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash. 
 14. Withholding
Taxes. To the extent that the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other Person under the Plan, and
the amounts available for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other Person make arrangements satisfactory to the Partnership for
payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld. In addition, if permitted by the Committee, the Participant or such other Person may elect to have any withholding obligation satisfied with Units that would otherwise be transferred to
the Participant or such other Person in payment of the Participant’s Award. However, without the consent of the Committee, Units will not be withheld in excess of the minimum number of Units required to satisfy the withholding obligation.

  
 15 

 15. Administration of the Plan. 

(a) The Plan will be administered the Board, unless the Board appoints a committee consisting of two or more directors of
the Board, each of whom is intended to qualify as a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3, to administer the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 10 will be administered by the Board. 

(b) A majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the Committee present at any
meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the Committee. 
 (c) The Committee has the full authority and discretion to administer the Plan and to take any action that is necessary or advisable in connection with the administration of the Plan, including without
limitation the authority and discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing an Award. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any such provision and any
determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee will be liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.

 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan to a
subcommittee of the Committee, to one or more committees of the Board or to one or more executive officers of the General Partner; provided, however, that no delegation may be made of authority to take an action which is required by Rule 16b-3 to be
taken by “non-employee directors” in order that the Plan and transactions thereunder meet the requirements of such Rule. 
 (e) It is the Committee’s intention that any Award granted under the Plan that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued by
the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 409A satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In granting such an Award, the Committee will use its best efforts to exercise its authority under the Plan with respect to the terms of
such Award in a manner that the Committee determines in good faith will cause the Award to comply with Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the imposition of penalty taxes and interest upon the Participant receiving the Award. 

(f) If no committee is established by the Board pursuant to Section 15(a) and, in any event, with respect to the
administration of the provisions of Section 10, the Board will have the same authority, power, duties, responsibilities and discretion given to the Committee under the terms of the Plan. 

  
 16 

 16. Amendments and Other Matters. 

(a) The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board or, with respect to those provisions of the Plan other than
Section 10, the Committee; provided, however, that the Plan may not be amended without further approval by the unitholders of the Partnership if such amendment would result in the Plan no longer satisfying any applicable requirements of the New
York Stock Exchange (or the principal national securities exchange on which the Units are traded) or Rule 16b-3. 

(b) Neither the Committee nor the Board will authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option to reduce the Option Price
without the further approval of the unitholders of the Partnership. Furthermore, no Option will be cancelled and replaced with Options having a lower Option Price without further approval of the unitholders of the Partnership. The provisions of this
Section 16(b) are intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Options and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 12. 

(c) The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board. The termination of the Plan will not adversely affect
the terms of any outstanding Award. 
 (d) No Units will be issued under the Plan prior to (i) the obtaining
of any approval from any governmental agency which the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable, (ii) the admission of such Units to listing on any securities exchange on which the Units may then be
listed, and (iii) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Units under any state or Federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines to be
necessary or advisable. 
 (e) The Plan does not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to
continuance of employment or other service with the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the General Partner or any of its Affiliates would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s
employment or other service at any time. 
 (f) To the extent that the Partnership has an obligation to reimburse
the General Partner or one of its Affiliates for compensation paid to Consultants and Employees for services rendered for the benefit of the Partnership, such payments or reimbursement payments may be made by the Partnership directly to the General
Partner or its Affiliate and, if made to the General Partner with respect to an Affiliate, will be received by the General Partner as agent for the Affiliate. 
 17. Governing Law. The Plan, all Awards and all actions taken under the Plan and the Awards will be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including without
limitation the Delaware statute of limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of such State.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	Date: May 9, 2012	 	Principal Amount: $10,000,000

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned maker, The Hallwood Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
(“Maker”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Hallwood Family (BVI), L.P., a British Virgin Islands limited partnership (“Holder”), at 3710 Rawlins, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75218, in lawful
money of the United States of America, the principal amount shown above, together with interest. 
 1. Principal Payments. The
outstanding principal amount of this promissory note (“Note”), together with all unpaid accrued interest, shall be payable on June 28, 2013.

quarter, with the first payment to be paid on or before June 30, 2012 and the final payment to be paid on June 28, 2013. 
 3.
Charges and Maximum Lawful Rate. As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Holder in accordance with the
applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Holder to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges
(as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and any other documents executed in connection herewith. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of
value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Holder in connection with the transactions relating to this Note that are treated as interest under applicable law. 
 4. Prepayment of Principal. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. All prepayment shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.

 5. Security Interest. To secure all of the obligations of Maker pursuant to this Note, Maker hereby grants to Holder a security
interest in (i) all of the common and preferred stock of Brookwood Companies Incorporated (“Brookwood”), all of which is held by Maker; and (ii) the interest in Maker in any federal tax refund Maker receives in 2012 or
2013 (the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) being the “Collateral”), but only to the extent that Maker is not prohibited by law or any agreements with third parties from granting such a security interest. The
security interests will be further evidenced by a Security Agreement and a Pledge and Security Agreement between Maker and Holder, each dated the same date as this Note. The Security Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge
Agreement”) and this Note, together with any other documents entered into relating to this Note constitute the “Loan Documents”. 

 6. Further Assurances. Maker agrees to use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to take or
cause to be taken all appropriate action, and do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable, including to execute and deliver a more specific security agreement reflecting the security interest granted in this Note, and such other
documents and papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Note or as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Note. Maker further authorizes Holder to
take any action that Holder determines in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to reflect or perfect the security interest granted in this Note, including the filing of any financing statements with government authorities. 

7. Waiver of Notice. Maker and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note
jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all
other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note, all without prejudice to Holder.
Holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to
release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.

 8. Affirmative Covenants. Maker covenants and agrees that from the date hereof and until payment in full of all indebtedness and
performance of all obligations owed under this Note, Maker shall: 
 (a) Maintain Existence and Current Legal Form of Business:
(i) Maintain its existence and good standing in the state of its incorporation or organization, (ii) maintain its current legal form of business indicated above, and, (iii), as applicable, qualify and remain qualified as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect. 
 (b) Maintain
Records: Keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of Maker. 

(c) Notice of Default: Promptly upon discovery or knowledge thereof, notice of the existence of any Event of Default (as defined herein).

 (d) Pledge of Equity Interests: Cause, at all times, 100% of the equity interests of Brookwood to be pledged to Holder
pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Holder. 
 9. Events of Default. Subject to
the Opportunity to Cure Non-Monetary Default set forth below, each of the following shall be “Events of Default” under this Note: 
 (a) The failure to make prompt payment of principal or interest on the Note when due or payable. 

  
 2 

 (b) Should a custodian be appointed for or take possession of any or all of the assets of
Maker or Brookwood, or should Maker or Brookwood either voluntarily or involuntarily become subject to any insolvency proceeding, including becoming a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, any proceeding to dissolve Maker or Brookwood, any
proceeding to have a receiver appointed, or should Maker or Brookwood make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should there be an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of Maker’s or Brookwood’s
assets, and such seizure is not discharged within 60 days. 
 (c) Should final judgment for the payment of money in excess of
$2,000,000 be rendered against Maker or Brookwood which is not covered by insurance and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon be effectively stayed. 

(d) Should there be any transfer or disposition of any of the Collateral, except as permitted by the Security Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement or this Note; 
 (e) Should there be any attachment, execution or levy on any of the Collateral; 

(f) Should any lien or security interest granted to Holder to secure payment of the Note terminate, fail for any reason to have the
priority agreed to by Holder on the date granted, or become unperfected or invalid for any reason; 
 (g) Should there be an
Event of Default under that certain Loan Agreement between Brookwood and Branch Banking and Trust Company dated as of March 30, 2012. 

The term “Opportunity to Cure Non-Monetary Default” as used in this Note shall mean the right of Maker to cure a pending Event of Default under
this Note or other Loan Document, other than the failure to pay money, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such pending default; provided, however, that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period,
there shall be no Event of Default if Maker commences to cure such default during such ten (10) day period and completes such cure within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Event of Default. 

10. Default Costs. Should an Event of Default occur, Maker will pay to Holder all costs incurred by Holder for the purpose of enforcing its rights
hereunder, including: 
 (a) costs of foreclosure; 
 (b) costs of obtaining money damages; and 
 (c) a reasonable fee for the service
of attorneys employed by Holder for any purpose related to the Loan Documents, including without limitation consultation, drafting documents, sending notices or instituting, prosecuting or defending litigation or arbitration. 

11. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the above listed Events of Default, Holder may at any time thereafter, at its option,
take any or all of the following actions, at the same or at different times: 
 (a) Declare the balance of the Note to be
immediately due and payable, both as to principal and interest, late fees, and all other amounts/expenditures without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker; 

  
 3 

 (b) Require the Maker to pledge additional collateral to Holder from Makers’ assets and
properties, the acceptability and sufficiency of such collateral to be determined in Holder’s sole discretion; 
 (c) Take
immediate possession of and foreclose upon any or all collateral which may be granted to Holder as security for the indebtedness and obligations of the Maker under the Loan Documents; 

(d) Exercise any and all other rights and remedies available to Holder under the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable law,
including the Texas Uniform Commercial Code; 
 (e) All obligations, if any, of Holder under the Loan Documents shall
immediately cease and terminate unless and until Holder shall reinstate such obligation in writing. 
 12. No Waiver. No delay or
omission on the part of Holder in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of such Holder. 

13. Collection. If Holder expends any effort in any attempt to enforce payment of all or any part or installment of any sum due Holder hereunder,
or if this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all reasonable collection costs and fees incurred by Holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 14. Jury Waiver. Holder (by its acceptance hereof) and Maker hereby voluntarily, knowingly, irrevocably and unconditionally waive any
right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) between or among Holder and Maker arising out of or in any way related to this Note, any other related document, or any relationship between
Holder and Maker. This provision is a material inducement to Holder to provide the financing evidenced by this Note. 
 15. Usury.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided
for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of
Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be deemed
charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full,
any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Maker and Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any
non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate.

 16. Governing Law. Notwithstanding conflicts of law principles, this Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. This Note is performable in Dallas County, Texas. Any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Note against Maker or
any other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. Maker and each such other party hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of such courts, and (b) waives any objection he or it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the
right of Holder to bring any action or proceeding against Maker or any other party liable hereunder or with respect to any collateral in any state or federal court in any other jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding by Maker or any other party
liable hereunder against Holder shall be brought only in a court located in Dallas County, Texas. 
 17. Addresses for Notices. All
communications, notices and disclosures required or permitted by the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the earlier of the time when actually delivered to a party or an officer of the party to which notice
is to be given or when sent by facsimile transmission, overnight courier service or by certified or registered first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows, unless and until any party notifies the other party in
