      PROMISE TO PAY.  UTG, INC. ("Borrower") promises to pay to ILLINOIS NATIONAL
        BANK ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Eight Million & 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal
        balance of each advance, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 5.125%.  Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.  The interest rate may
        change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.

      PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding
        principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on November 20, 2019.  In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning December 20, 2018, with all subsequent interest payments
        to be due on the same day of each month after that.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late
        charges.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

      INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.  Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365
        simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (366 during leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is
        outstanding.  All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

      PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.  In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $50.00.  Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will
        not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.  Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender
        payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language.  If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount
        owed to Lender.  All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment
          constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:  Illinois National Bank, 322 E. Capitol Springfield, IL  62701.

      LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly
          scheduled payment or $25.00, whichever is greater.

      INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by 4.000 percentage points.  However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the
        maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

      DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:

      Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

      Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term,
        obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

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

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

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

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

      Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party of any of the indebtedness or any guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation
        party dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

      Change In Ownership.  Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

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

      Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

      Cure Provisions.  If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be
        cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default:  (1)  cures the default within ten (10) days; or  (2)  if the cure requires more than ten (10) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in
        Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

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

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

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

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

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

      CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers any attorney-at-law to appear in any court of record and to confess judgment against Borrower for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced
        by an affidavit signed by an officer of Lender setting forth the amount then due, attorneys' fees plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal.  If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been
        filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney.  Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect.  No single exercise of the
        foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from
        time to time as Lender may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full.  Borrower hereby waives and releases any and all claims or causes of action which Borrower might have against any attorney acting under the terms of
        authority which Borrower has granted herein arising out of or connected with the confession of judgment hereunder.

      RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account).  This includes all accounts
        Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.  However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to
        the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's charge and
        setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

      COLLATERAL.  Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by a Commercial Pledge Agreement dated November 20, 2013.

      LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.  Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an
        authorized person.  Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing.  Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either:  (A)  advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or  (B)  credited to
        any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.  The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

      SECURITY INTEREST IN DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and
        to, Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation all deposit accounts held jointly with someone else and all deposit accounts Borrower may open in the future, excluding
        however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this
        Note against any and all such deposit accounts.

      DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $25.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.  If your payment is
        returned unpaid, you authorize Illinois National Bank to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account to collect a fee of $25.00. .

      LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is issued in connection with a Business Loan Agreement dated November 2018 between Borrower and Lender and the terms and conditions of said Business Loan Agreement are expressly incorporated
        herein and made a part of this Note by reference.

      UNCONDITIONAL CANCELABLE COMMITMENT. The line of credit feature provided for in this Note and the Related Documents, including the Business Loan Agreement (Asset Based), may be unconditionally cancelable, without cause,
        at any time by the Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

      PRIOR NOTE.  This Promissory Note is a renewal of, extension of, refinancing of, modification of and substitution for Promissory Note from Borrower to Lender dated November 20, 2017 in the original principal amount of
        $8,000,000.00, which was a renewal of, extension of, refinancing of, modification of and substitution for the original Promissory Note dated November 20, 2012 in the original principal amount of $8,000,000.00.

      SUCCESSOR INTERESTS.  The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and
        assigns.

    

    
      GENERAL
          PROVISIONS.  If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note.  Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.  Borrower and any other
        person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor.  Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party
        who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or
        guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.  All such parties also agree that
        Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.  The obligations under this Note are joint and several.
