FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ideanomics, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the "Borrower")
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Tillou Management and Consulting LLC, a New Jersey Limited Liability Company (the
 "Noteholder"), the principal amount of $2,000,000.00 (two million dollars) (the "Loan"), together with
all accrued interest thereon, as provided in this Promissory Note (this "Note").

1.             
Payment
Dates.

 

(a)              
Payment Date. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts
payable under this Note shall be due and payable on demand any time after January 15, 2023.

 

(b)              
Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium
by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

 

2.            
Interest.

 

(a)              
Interest Rate. Except as provided in Section 2(b), the principal amount
outstanding under this Note from time to time shall bear interest at a flat rate (the "Interest Rate") equal to twenty
percent (20 %) per annum.

 

(b)              
Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace period),
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus two percent
(2%) (the "Default Rate").

 

(c)              
Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time the Interest Rate payable on the Loan shall exceed the maximum rate of interest
permitted under applicable law, such Interest Rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate permitted.

 

3.            
Payment Mechanics.

 

(a)              
Manner of Payment. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in US dollars no later than 5:00 PM on the
date on which such payment is due. Such payments shall be made by cashier's check, certified check, or wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Noteholder's account at a bank specified by the Noteholder in writing to the Borrower from time to time.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)              
Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied, first, to fees or charges outstanding under this Note, second,
to accrued interest, and, third, to principal outstanding under this Note.

 

(c)              
Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be calculated to include such extension. "Business Day" means a day
other than Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in New York, NY are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(d)              
Evidence of Debt. The Borrower authorizes the Noteholder to record on the grid attached as Exhibit A the Loan made
to the Borrower and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of the Loan. The entries made by the Noteholder shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amount of the obligations of the Borrower recorded therein in the absence of manifest error. No
failure to make any such record, nor any errors in making any such records, shall affect the validity of the Borrower's obligation to
repay the unpaid principal of the Loan with interest in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

4.             
Pledge Agreement dated as of December 13, 2022. As collateral for the Borrower’s obligations under this Note

Pledge

 

Section 2.01     Pledge.
 As collateral security for the payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations,
each Grantor hereby pledges and assigns to the Lender, and grants to the Lender, a Lien on and security interest in and to, all of the
right, title and interest of such Grantor in, to and under the following property, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter
arising or acquired from time to time (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral"):

 

(a)            all
Secured Collateral;

 

(b)            to
the extent not covered by clause (a) of this sentence, all proceeds and products of each of the foregoing, all books and records
at any time evidencing or relating to any of the foregoing, all supporting obligations related thereto, and all accessions of and to,
substitutions and replacements for, and profits and products of, each of the foregoing, and any and all proceeds of any insurance, indemnity,
warranty or guaranty payable to such Grantor from time to time with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

     

     

    

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in clauses (a) and (b) above, the security interest created by this Agreement shall not extend to, and the term "Pledged
Collateral" shall not include, any Excluded Equity, provided that, if any Excluded Equity would have otherwise constituted Pledged
Collateral, when such property shall cease to be Excluded Equity, such property shall be deemed at all times from and after the date hereof
to constitute Pledged Collateral.

 

The Grantors shall from time to time at the request
of the Lender give written notice to the Lender identifying in reasonable detail the Excluded Equity (and stating in such notice that
such Excluded Equity constitutes "Excluded Equity") and shall provide to the Lender such other information regarding the Excluded
Equity as the Lender may reasonably request.

 

Section 2.02     Filings.
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing
statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for
the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Pledged Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where permitted
by law. Each Grantor agrees to provide all necessary information related to such filings to the Lender promptly upon request by the Lender.

 

Section 2.03     Further
Assurances.  Each Grantor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the
Lender such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, and will obtain
such governmental consents and corporate approvals and will cause to be done all such other things, as the Lender may in its reasonable
judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Lender
hereunder, and enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral,
including the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements and other documents under the UCC (or other similar laws) in
effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and
in such offices wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and priority of the security interest
in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Lender hereunder, as against
third parties, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. With respect to all Pledged Collateral of a Grantor over which the Lender may obtain
 "control" within the meaning of section 8-106 of the UCC, such Grantor shall take all actions as may be requested from time
to time by the Lender so that control of such Pledged Collateral is obtained and at all times held by the Lender. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, but subject to applicable law, each Grantor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or
deliver to the Lender from time to time upon reasonable request by the Lender such lists, schedules, descriptions and designations of
the Pledged Collateral, statements, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements,
transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments as the Lender shall reasonably request.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Grantor,
such suits and proceedings as the Lender may be advised by counsel to be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security
interest in or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors.

written request of the Lender, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take
such action, and prepare, distribute and file such documents, as are necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the
Lender to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral including to (a) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers
of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments, agreements and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be, in the opinion of the Lender, necessary or advisable to register and sell such Pledged Collateral in compliance with the Securities

the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto or in the opinion of
any underwriters selected by the Lender to effectuate such purchase. Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Lender, any underwriter and their respective directors, officers, affiliates and controlling Persons from and against all loss, liability,
expenses, costs of counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Lender), and claims (including the costs of
investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular,
or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information
furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Lender expressly for use therein. Each Grantor further
agrees, upon written request, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged
Collateral to (i) qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the "Blue Sky" or other securities laws
of such states as may be requested by the Lender and keep effective all such qualifications, filings or registrations and (ii) to
promptly make available to its security holders an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities
Act. Each Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 6.04     Private
Sales. Each Grantor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale or other
disposition of the Pledged Collateral due to the lack of a ready market for the Pledged Collateral, a limited number of potential buyers
of the Pledged Collateral or certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, state securities laws, and other applicable laws, and
that the Lender may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or other dispositions thereof to a restricted group of purchasers.
Each Grantor agrees that such private sales or other dispositions may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if
sold at public sales or other dispositions and that such private sales or other dispositions shall not solely by reason thereof be deemed
not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation hereunder or otherwise (except as provided
by applicable law) to delay a sale or other disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the
registration of such securities for public sale or other public disposition under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Any such sale or other disposition of all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral may be for cash or on credit or for future delivery and
may be conducted at a private sale or other disposition where the Lender or any other Person or entity may be the purchaser of all or
part of the Pledged Collateral so sold or otherwise disposed of. Each Grantor agrees that to the extent notice of sale or other disposition
shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' prior notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Subject to the foregoing, the Lender agrees that any sale or other disposition
of the Pledged Collateral shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall incur no liability as a result of the sale
or other disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale which complies with the requirements of
this ARTICLE VI. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims against the Lender arising by
reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, may have been sold or otherwise disposed
of at such private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or other public disposition, even if the
Lender accepts the first offer deemed by the Lender on good faith to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances and does not offer
any of the Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 6.05     No
Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, no course of
dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Lender 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, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Lender be required to look first
to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. Neither the Lender not any other Secured Party shall by any act (except
by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.05), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

Section 6.06     Grantors'
Agreements.

 

(a)            If
the Lender determines to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Pledged Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to ARTICLE VI, each
Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, such Grantor will, at its own expense:

 

(i)            provide
the Lender with such information and projections as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, advisable to enable the Lender
to effect the sale of such Pledged Collateral; and

 

(ii)            do
or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make the sale of such Pledged Collateral valid and binding and
in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law.

 

(b)            To
the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising
out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Grantors hereby waive presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest of all instruments
included in or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or the Pledged Collateral, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever
(except as expressly provided herein).

 

Section 6.07     Application
of Proceeds. Upon the exercise by the Lender of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received
by the Lender in respect of any realization upon any Pledged Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Each Grantor
shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to
pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

     

     

    

 

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 7.01     Performance
By Lender. If any Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement after
giving effect to all applicable grace periods(including covenants to pay insurance, taxes and claims arising by operation of law in respect
of the Pledged Collateral and to pay or perform any Grantor obligations under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty
on the part of any Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) following notice to such
Grantor of such failure to perform and such Grantor's failure to remedy such failure within a commercially reasonable time period, do
the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that the Lender
shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Grantor fails to pay
or perform as and when required hereby and which such Grantor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
Any and all amounts so paid by the Lender shall be reimbursed by the Grantors in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07.
Neither the provisions of this Section 7.01 nor any action taken by the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.01
shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting
an Event of Default.

 

Section 7.02     Power
of Attorney.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence
of an Event of Default in the Lender's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument or document consistent with the terms
of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof
(but the Lender shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Grantor or any third party for failure to so do or take
action). Except where prior notice is expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, the Lender shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide notice to the Grantor prior to taking any action contemplated in the preceding sentence; provided that failure to deliver
such notice shall not limit the Lender's right to take such action or the validity of any such action. The foregoing grant of authority
is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Grantor hereby ratifies
all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

Section 7.03     Continuing
Security Interest and Assignment.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest
in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Grantors, their respective successors and assigns and (b) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and each of their respective permitted successors,
transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling Persons; provided
that, no Grantor shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the Lender and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing clause (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to
any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured
Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party
to a Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 7.04     Termination
and Release.

 

(a)            At
such time as the Loans and the other Secured Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations in
which no claim has been made or is reasonably foreseeable), the Commitments have been terminated, the Pledged Collateral shall be released
from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination)
of the Lender and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and
all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination,
the Lender shall deliver to such Grantor any Pledged Collateral held by the Lender hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor
any documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

(b)            If
any of the Pledged Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement,
then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Pledged Collateral shall be released, and the Lender, at the request and sole
expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable
for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Pledged Collateral; provided that the Borrower shall provide to the Lender evidence
of such transaction's compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Lender shall reasonably request. At the request
and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder if all the Equity Interests of such Grantor
are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Loan Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have
delivered to the Lender, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Lender) prior to the date of
the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in
reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower
stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.05     Modification
in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented,
terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed
by the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any
waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Grantor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. This Agreement shall be construed as
a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

 

Section 7.06     Notices.
 Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to
be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Loan Agreement,
and, as to any Grantor, addressed to it at the address of such Grantor set forth in Schedule 2 hereof and as to the Lender, addressed
to it at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other party.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 7.07     Indemnity
and Expenses.

 

(a)            Each
Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender (and any sub-agent thereof) the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender
(each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") from any losses, damages, liabilities, claims and related expenses (including
the fees and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person
(including any Grantor ) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with or resulting from this
Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement) or any failure of any Secured Obligations to be the legal, valid,
and binding obligations of any Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, whether brought by a third
party or by such Grantor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee, (ii) result from a claim brought by any Grantor or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad
faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Grantor or such other Loan Party has obtained
a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) result
from a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnitee against
another Indemnitee (other than against the Lender in its capacities as such

 

(b)            To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby by unintended recipients.

 

(c)            Each
Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor its Secured Obligations
or otherwise protecting, enforcing or preserving any rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such
Grantor is a party, including the fees and other charges of counsel to the Lender.

 

     

     

    

 

(d)            All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable after demand therefor.

 

(e)            Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Grantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations
of each Grantor contained in this Section shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

 

Section 7.08     Governing
Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The other provisions
of Sections 10 (Governing Law) and 11 (Disputes) of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.

 

Section 7.09     Severability
of Provisions.  Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 7.10     Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements
hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender, constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other
parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., "pdf"
or "tif") format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words "execution,"
 "signed," "signature," and words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic or digital
signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures
or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 to 7031), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
(UETA), or any state law based on the UETA, including the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. Tech. §§ 301
to 309).

 

     

     

    

 

Section 7.11     No
Release.  Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by
the Lender of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition
or agreement on such Grantor's part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any
Person in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Lender to perform or observe any such term, covenant,
condition or agreement on such Grantor's part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Lender for any act or
omission on the part of such Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Grantor
contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection
herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any
contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Lender be obligated
to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement
or other document included in the Pledged Collateral. The obligations of each Grantor contained in this Section 7.11 shall survive
the termination hereof and the discharge of such Grantor's other obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
