(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor (i) authorizes Secured Party during the continuance of
an Event of Default to execute any such agreements, instruments, or other documents in Debtor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments, or other documents in Debtor’s name in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes

statement covering Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 
 (b) Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Debtor and
in the name of Debtor or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge

discharge for the same, (ii) to effectuate the transfer of any of Pledged Collateral on the books of the issuer 

  
 5 

 
thereof to the name of Secured Party or to the name of Secured Party’s nominee, designee, or assignee, and (iii) to carry out the terms and provisions of this Pledge Agreement. This
power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are paid in full. 
 (c) If
Debtor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, then Secured Party itself may, during the continuance of an Event of Default, perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Secured Party
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Debtor pursuant to the Note and shall be secured by Pledged Collateral. 
 (d) The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody
of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral and shall be relieved of all responsibility for Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering surrender of it to Debtor. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Pledged Collateral in its possession if Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party
shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral. 
 (e) The Secured Party may in its discretion at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) without notice to Debtor, transfer or register in the name of
Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of Pledged Collateral, and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. 

Section 12. Remedies upon Default. If any Event of Default, followed by the required Opportunity to Cure Non-Monetary Default
and Pledge Election, shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of
Pledged Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code then in effect in the State of Texas; and without limiting
the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices
and on such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Debtor agrees that, except as shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Debtor of the time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral
owned by 

  
 6 

 
Debtor or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless
of whether or not notice of sale has been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. 
 (b) In the event that Secured Party determines to exercise its right to
sell all or any part of Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof, Debtor will, at Debtor’s expense and upon request by Secured Party, do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to
make such sale of such Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. 
 (c) Secured
Party may determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the
foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the
issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. Debtor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a
newspaper or other publication of general circulation (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen
(15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of
Texas, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 

(d) Any cash held by Secured Party as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by Secured Party as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any
amounts payable to Secured Party pursuant to Section 13 hereof) in whole or in part by Secured Party against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as Secured Party shall elect consistent with the provisions of the
Note. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Debtor or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Debtor shall not be liable for any deficiency
in the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is legally entitled. 

  
 7 

 Section 13. Indemnity and Expenses. 

(a) Debtor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party from any claim, obligation or liability (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel) arising out of this Pledge Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim, obligation or liability arising before, after or in connection with an insolvency
proceeding other than losses directly resulting from Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (b) Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of Secured Party’s counsel, which Secured Party may
incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Pledge Agreement, (ii) any Pledged Collateral audits, or (iii) the amendment, administration, exercise, defense, or enforcement of any of the rights of
Secured Party hereunder. 
 (c) To the extent not paid by Debtor pursuant to Section 13(b), Debtor
agrees to pay to Secured Party upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of Secured Party’s counsel, which Secured Party may incur to enforce this Agreement as a result of Debtor’s
nonperformance of its duties and obligations hereunder. 
 Section 14. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure by Debtor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 Section 15. Addresses for Notices. All notices
and other communications provided for hereunder shall be furnished in accordance with the terms of the Note. 
 Section 16.
Continuing Security Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations, and
(ii) be binding upon Debtor, its successors and assigns. Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Debtor shall be entitled to the return of such of Pledged Collateral as shall not have been previously returned, sold or otherwise
applied pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 Section 17. Governing Law. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
 Section 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS PLEDGE 

  
 8 

 
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND/OR PLEDGOR AND PLEDGEE. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR PLEDGEE TO MAKE LOANS TO THE BORROWER AND ENTER INTO THE LOAN AGREEMENT. FURTHER, PLEDGOR, BORROWER, AND PLEDGEE HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD
NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR COUNSEL OF PLEDGOR, BORROWER, OR PLEDGEE, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION, OR MODIFY THIS PROVISION. 

Section 19. Titles. The Section titles contained in this Pledge Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or
content of any kind whatsoever and are not part of this Pledge Agreement. 
 Section 20. Counterparts. This Pledge
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, including via facsimile or e-mail, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and
the same agreement. 
 Section 21. Acknowledgement of Debtor. Debtor hereby agrees to promptly note on its books and
records the security interests granted under this Pledge Agreement and waives any rights or requirement at any time hereafter to receive a copy of this Pledge Agreement in connection with the registration of any Pledged Collateral in the name of
Secured Party or its nominee or the exercise of voting rights by Secured Party, and, after written notice from Secured Party that an Event of Default has occurred, agrees, that in acting upon the instructions of Secured Party, it will not require
the further consent of, or seek further instruction from, Debtor at any time. 
 Section 22. Waiver of Transfer
Restrictions. Debtor and Debtor hereby consent to the terms and conditions contained in this Pledge Agreement, to the transactions contemplated thereby, notwithstanding any limitations or restrictions on such transactions set forth in the
governing documents of Brookwood or otherwise with respect to the transfer of Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Debtor agrees that any rights of first refusal, options to purchase, or other conditions or restrictions affecting the
transfer of Pledged Collateral shall not be triggered by, or otherwise in any respect be applicable to, the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement or the exercise of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement (as
amended from time to time), and upon Secured Party’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement (as amended from time to time), Secured Party, a purchaser at a foreclosure sale of Pledged Collateral or such party’s
designee shall be immediately and automatically admitted as an owner of Brookwood with all ownership rights accruing to it (including, without limitation, all rights to distributions and voting) without the need to obtain the consent of any owner or
Brookwood or to provide or comply with a right first refusal, option to purchase, or other restrictions on transfer with the respect to Pledged Collateral in favor of any owner, Brookwood or any other Person, notwithstanding anything in the

Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate to such a bailee, then Borrower shall first receive, the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank.
Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate, dated as of December 19, 2011, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information

 8.
RATIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and each other Loan Document, and of all security or other collateral granted to the Bank, and confirms that the
indebtedness secured thereby includes, without limitation, the Obligations. 
 9. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank,
whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder. 
 10. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth
in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to waive the Existing Default
pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future waivers or any other modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It
is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. 

11. JURISDICTION/VENUE. Section 11 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference.
