    	- 7 -

    	 

    

 

 

1.          The
Revolving Credit Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Revolving Credit Advances and interest thereon shall be evidenced
by the Revolving Credit Note executed by Borrower, payable to the order of Lender, in the principal amount of the Commitment as
originally in effect, and dated the date hereof.

 

2.          Repayment
of Revolving Credit Advances, Etc. Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal amount of all Advances and all other Obligations
(and the Commitment shall be reduced to zero and automatically terminate) on the Termination Date.

 

3.          Interest.
The unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note shall, subject to the following sentence, bear interest as provided in
the Revolving Credit Note. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Credit Advances shall be payable as provided in the Revolving
Credit Note and on the Termination Date.

 

4.          Borrowing

the information required therein and delivered (by hand or by mechanically confirmed facsimile) to Lender no later than Noon (Texas
time) on the Business Day on which the Revolving Credit Advance is desired to be funded. Advances will only be made on a Business
Day. Lender at its option may accept telephonic requests for such advances, provided that such acceptance shall not constitute
a waiver of Lender’s right to require delivery of an Advance Request Form in connection with subsequent Advances. Any telephonic
request for a Revolving Credit Advance by Borrower shall be promptly confirmed by submission of a properly completed Advance Request
Form to Lender, but failure to deliver an Advance Request Form shall not be a defense to payment of the Advance. Lender shall have
no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution
of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrower and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any

Section 2.2           General
Provisions Regarding Interest; Etc.

 

(a)          Default
Interest Rate. Any outstanding principal of any Advance and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) any other amount payable
by any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration, or otherwise) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate for the period from and including the due date
thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and from
the date of such occurrence) all outstanding and unpaid principal amounts of all of the Obligations shall, to the extent permitted
by law, bear interest at the Default Interest Rate until such time as Lender shall waive in writing the application of the Default
Interest Rate to such Event of Default situation. Interest payable at the Default Interest Rate shall be payable from time to time
ON DEMAND.

 

(b)          Computation
of Interest. Interest on the Advances and all other amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) unless such calculation
would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case
may be.

 

Section 2.3           Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances shall be used by Borrower for working capital in the ordinary course
of business in accordance with the Loan Documents and for repayment of existing Debt of Borrower owing to Texas Capital Bank, N.A.

 

Section 2.4           Intent
to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. (a) It is the intent of Lender and the Loan Parties to conform to and contract in
strict compliance with all applicable usury laws from time to time in effect. All agreements (including the Loan Documents) between
Lender and any Loan Party are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section 2.4, which shall override and control all such
agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including,
but not limited to, prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest
taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise exceed the maximum
nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other document, interest would otherwise be taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or payable in excess of the maximum
nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and this Agreement, such other Loan
Document, and such other document shall be automatically reformed and the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or
payable shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity
of execution of any amendment or new document. If Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is interest or characterized
as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful nonusurious amount,
an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the
Obligations (other than accrued interest) and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the applicable Loan Party if and to
the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. The right to accelerate maturity of the Obligations
does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender
does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed to be paid
to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated
term (including any renewal or extension) of the Obligations so that the amount of interest on account of the Obligations does
not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law. As used in this Section, the term “applicable law”
shall mean such laws as they now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future. As used in this Section,
the term “interest” includes all amounts that constitute, are deemed, or are characterized as interest under applicable
law.

(b)          The
Loan Parties and Lender hereby agree and stipulate that the only charges imposed upon the Loan Parties for the use, forbearance,
or detention of money in connection with this Agreement are the interest specified as such in the Loan Documents. The Loan Parties
and Lender further agree and stipulate that all default charges, late charges, attorneys’ fees, and reimbursements for costs
and expenses paid or incurred by Lender to third parties or for loss or damage incurred by Lender shall not under any circumstance
be deemed or constitute interest under applicable law.

 

(c)          Borrower
and each other Loan Party agree that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts),
as amended, shall not govern or in any manner apply to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (including the Commitment).

 

(d)          For
purposes of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, to the extent applicable, each Loan Party agrees that the maximum
nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law with respect to Lender shall be the “indicated (weekly) rate ceiling”
as defined in such Chapter; provided, that, Lender may also rely, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on alternative maximum
rates of interest under other laws applicable to Lender, if greater.

in such manner as Lender may determine, at any time and without notice to any Loan Party, any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to any Loan Party whether or not
the Obligations are then due. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in
all money, instruments, and other property of Borrower now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, property
held in safekeeping. In addition to Lender’s right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations, each Loan Party
hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower. The rights and
remedies of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff)

Section 7.12         Board
Observer Rights. So long as any Obligations are outstanding and the Commitment remains in effect, Borrower shall hold meetings
of its board of directors (either in person or by telephone) at least once every calendar quarter. Lender shall be notified in
writing of the date and time for each such board meeting by notice sent (which may be oral notice) at the same time as notice thereof
is sent to the members of Borrower’s board of directors (which notice shall also state whether Borrower expects any material
non-public information will be disclosed in the meeting), and if Lender requests, Lender shall receive all reports and other board
materials that are provided in writing or electronically (or otherwise made available) to the board members (and Borrower will
advise Lender whether any material non-public information is included in the reports and board materials if requested by Lender),
except any that are subject to attorney/client or other legal privilege of Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their officers or
directors. Lender shall have the right to have one (1) designated representative, at Borrower’s expense and subject to reasonable
and customary confidentiality obligations, attend such board meetings as an observer; provided, however, such observer shall not
constitute a member of such board and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters presented to such board; provided, further,
that such observer may be required to leave such meetings (or may receive certain materials with redacted portions) to the extent
a legal privilege arises in connection with the issues being discussed (or described in such materials), in each case, that reasonably
would be expected to be lost if the observer were not to leave or were to receive such redacted information, as applicable. Lender
and its designated board observer shall execute a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory
to Borrower, prior to the receipt of any documents or information that Borrower deems material non-public information.

certificates (and related stock powers executed in blank) with respect to all of the equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries
that is a corporation (each in form and substance satisfactory to Lender), and shall take any further action that Lender determines
necessary or advisable to confirm that each of such Subsidiaries has been fully and properly organized (and the failure to comply
with any of the covenants in this Section 7.13 shall be an Event of Default).

ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY

PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES,
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING
FROM THE SOLE CONTRIBUTORY OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.

 

Section 10.3         Limitation
of Liability. Neither Lender nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability
with respect to, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special,
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising
out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any

Section 10.4         No
Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have
the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or
other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s shareholders or any other
Person.

 

Section 10.5         Lender
Not Fiduciary. The relationship between each Loan Party and Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents is solely that of debtor
and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with any Loan Party arising out of the Loan Documents,

and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor as a result of the financing arrangements evidenced by the Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.6         Equitable
Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that in the event any Loan Party fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all
of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Each Loan Party therefore agrees that Lender,
if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of

or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Obligations and Secured Party repays

such claimant (including Borrower or any Guarantor), then and in each such event, each of the Guarantors agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation)
of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Grantor, and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable to
the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally
been received by any such payee.

 

(b)          Additionally,
each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations to Secured Party,
and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to Secured Party, without the requirement of demand, protest,
or any other notice or other formality, in lawful money of the United States.

 

(c)          The
liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by any other Guarantor or by any other Person, and the liability of each of
the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such other guaranty or
undertaking, (ii) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Grantor, (iii) any payment
made to Secured Party on account of the Obligations which Secured Party repays to any Grantor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding (or any settlement or compromise of any claim made in
such a proceeding relating to such payment), and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (iv) any action or inaction by Secured Party, or (v) any invalidity,
irregularity, avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor.

(d)          This
Guaranty includes all present and future Guarantied Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending,
increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms
and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied
in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as
to future Guarantied Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges
and agrees that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Secured Party, (ii)
no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Secured Party of such written
notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or
other terms and conditions thereof), (iii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such
date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Secured Party in existence on the date of such revocation,
(iv) no payment by any Guarantor, Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of Secured Party’s receipt of written
notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by Borrower or from
any source other than such Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied
Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied
shall not reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors
and assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Secured Party and its successors, transferees, or assigns.

 

(e)          The
guaranty by each of the Guarantors hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The obligations of each of the Guarantors
hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor
or Grantor or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person be joined in any such action
or actions. Each of the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Grantor or other circumstance which operates to toll any
statute of limitations as to any Grantor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the Guarantors.

 

(f)          Each
of the Guarantors authorizes Secured Party without notice or demand, and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder,
from time to time to:

 

(i)          change
the manner, place, or terms of payment of, or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate, or alter: (A)
any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon);
or (B) any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply
to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, or altered;

 

(ii)         take
and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon, collect, settle,
or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Obligations or
any of the Guarantied Obligations (including any of the obligations of all or any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset on account thereof;

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

(iii)        exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against any Grantor;

 

(iv)        release
or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Grantor, or other obligors;

 

(v)         settle
or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability (including any of those of any of the Guarantors
under this Guaranty) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any
part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Grantor to its creditors;

 

(vi)        apply
any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any liability or liabilities of any Grantor to Secured Party regardless of what
liability or liabilities of such Grantor remain unpaid;

 

(vii)       consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission, or default under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise amend,
modify, or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(viii)      take
any other action that could, under otherwise applicable principles of law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of one or
more of the Guarantors from all or part of its liabilities under this Guaranty.

 

(g)          It
is not necessary for Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any of the Guarantors or the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be Guarantied hereunder.

 

(h)          Each
Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of
such terms or the rights of Secured Party with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent
of the Guarantied Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce
such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Guarantor or whether any other Guarantor is joined
in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of
the following:

 

(i)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(ii)         any
change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guarantied Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit;

 

(iii)        any
taking, exchange, release, or non-perfection of any Lien in and to any Collateral, or any taking, release, amendment, waiver of,
or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guarantied Obligations;

 

    	7

    	 

    

  

(iv)        the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including
Secured Party;

 

(v)         any
defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack
of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor;

 

(vi)        any
right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Secured Party including any defense
based upon an impairment or elimination of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity
of such Guarantor against any other Grantor or any guarantors or sureties;

 

(vii)       any
change, restructuring, or termination of the corporate, limited liability company, or partnership structure or existence of any
Grantor; or

 

(viii)      any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or any other guarantor
or surety.

 

(i)          Waivers

 

(i)          Each
of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require Secured
Party to (i) proceed against any other Grantor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any
other Grantor or any other Person, or (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject
thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Grantor, any other Person, or any collateral, or (iv) pursue
any other remedy in Secured Party’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of
any defense of any Grantor or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or
arising out of the disability of any Grantor or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations
or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Grantor other than payment of the Obligations
to the extent of such payment. Secured Party may foreclose upon any Collateral held by Secured Party by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails
to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy Secured Party may have against any Grantor or any other
Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Guarantors hereunder
except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

 

(ii)         Each
of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring
of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations. Each of the Guarantors waives notice
of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, except to the extent provided otherwise in the Loan Agreement.
Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Grantor’s financial
condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope,
and extent of the risks which each of the Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Secured Party shall not have
any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

    	8

    	 

    

  

(iii)        To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (A) any right to assert against Secured Party
any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against
Borrower or any other party liable to Secured Party; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature,
arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied
Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election
of remedies by Secured Party including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Guarantor’s rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Guarantor against Borrower or other guarantors or sureties; and
(D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof,
and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall
similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability
hereunder

 

(iv)        No
Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Grantor or any other guarantor that arise from
the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including any right
of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of Secured Party, against any Grantor or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises
in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Grantor or any other guarantor,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of
such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty
shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitment has been terminated in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor
in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, and shall
forthwith be paid to Secured Party to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for
any Guarantied Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Guaranty, no Guarantor may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other
similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Grantor
(the “Foreclosed Grantor”), including after payment in full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the
Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Foreclosed
Grantor whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

 

(v)         Each
of the Guarantors represents, warrants, and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its
significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy,
such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

3.          Grant
of Security. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Secured Party to secure the Secured Obligations,
a continuing security interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Security Interest”) in all of such Grantor’s
right, title, and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (the
“Collateral”):

 

(a)          all

(b)          all
of such Grantor’s Books;

 

(c)          all

of such Grantor’s Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses;

 

(m)         all
of such Grantor’s Negotiable Collateral;

 

(n)          all
of such Grantor’s Pledged Interests (including all of such Grantor’s Pledged Operating Agreements and Pledged Partnership
Agreements);

 

(o)          all
of such Grantor’s Securities Accounts;

 

(p)          all
of such Grantor’s Supporting Obligations;

 

(q)          all
of such Grantor’s money, cash equivalents, or other assets of such Grantor that now or hereafter come into the possession,
custody, or control of Secured Party (or its agent or designee); and

 

(r)          all
of the proceeds (as such term is defined in the UCC) and products, whether tangible or intangible, of any of the foregoing, including
proceeds of insurance or Commercial Tort Claims covering or relating to any or all of the foregoing, and any and all Accounts,
Books, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Equipment, Fixtures, General Intangibles, Inventory, Investment Property, Intellectual
Property, Negotiable Collateral, Pledged Interests, Securities Accounts, Supporting Obligations, money, or other tangible or intangible
property resulting from the sale, lease, license, exchange, collection, or other disposition of any of the foregoing, the proceeds
of any award in condemnation with respect to any of the foregoing, any rebates or refunds, whether for taxes or otherwise, and
all proceeds of any such proceeds, or any portion thereof or interest therein, and the proceeds thereof, and all proceeds of any
loss of, damage to, or destruction of the above, whether insured or not insured, and, to the extent not otherwise included, any
indemnity, warranty, or guaranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing (the
“Proceeds”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Proceeds” includes whatever
is receivable or received when Investment Property or proceeds are sold, exchanged, collected, or otherwise disposed of, whether
such disposition is voluntary or involuntary, and includes proceeds of any indemnity or guaranty payable to any Grantor or Secured
Party from time to time with respect to any of the Investment Property.

 

4.          Security
for Secured Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment
of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by Grantors, or any of them, to Secured Party,
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving
any Grantor due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

 

    	10

    	 

    

  

5.          Grantors
Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each of the Grantors shall remain liable under the contracts
and agreements included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership Agreements, to
perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise
by Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under such
contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under such
contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform
any of the obligations or duties of any Grantors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder. Until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement,
or any other Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting
the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to and upon the terms hereof and of the Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial
ownership of the Pledged Interests, including all voting, consensual, dividend, and distribution rights, shall remain in the applicable
Grantor until (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) Secured Party has notified the applicable Grantor
of Secured Party’s election to exercise such rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 15.

 

6.          Representations
and Warranties. In order to induce Secured Party to enter into this Agreement, each Grantor makes the following representations

(h)          This

created under the UCC, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations. Except to the extent a security interest in the Collateral
cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC, all filings and other actions necessary or desirable
to perfect and protect such security interest have been duly taken or will have been taken upon the filing of financing statements
listing each applicable Grantor, as a debtor, and Secured Party, as secured party, in the jurisdictions listed next to such Grantor’s
name on Schedule 11. Upon the making of such filings, Secured Party shall have a first priority perfected security interest
in the Collateral of each Grantor to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement.
Upon filing of any Copyright Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, filing of any Patent Security Agreement
and any Trademark Security Agreement with the PTO, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the jurisdictions listed

(j)          No
consent, approval, authorization, or other order or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority
or any other Person is required (i) for the grant of a Security Interest by such Grantor in and to the Collateral pursuant to this

Investment Property, or Chattel Paper, the Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after acquisition

to the Loan Account.

(h)          Investment
Property.

 

(i)          If
any Grantor shall acquire, obtain, receive or become entitled to receive any Pledged Interests after the Closing Date, it shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) deliver to Secured Party a
duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests;

 

(ii)         Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the request of Secured Party, all sums of money and

respect of any Pledged Interests;

 

(iv)        No
Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating
Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any
Pledged Interests if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents;

 

(v)         Each
Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Secured Party in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings
under federal, state, local, or foreign law to effect the perfection of the Security Interest on the Investment Property or to
effect any sale or transfer thereof;

 

(vi)        As
to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership
Agreement, each Grantor hereby covenants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not
be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute investment company securities,
and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements,

bank account of such Grantor (each, a “Controlled Account”) at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 11
(each a “Controlled Account Bank”).

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(ii)         Each
Grantor shall establish and maintain Control Agreements with Secured Party and the applicable Controlled Account Bank, in form
and substance acceptable to Secured Party, in respect of each of such Grantor’s Controlled Accounts. Each such Control Agreement

Party directing the disposition of the funds in such Controlled Account without further consent by the applicable Grantor, (B)
the Controlled Account Bank waives, subordinates, or agrees not to exercise any rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim
against the applicable Controlled Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the
administration of such Controlled Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (C) upon the instruction of Secured
Party (an “Activation Instruction”), the Controlled Account Bank will forward by daily sweep all amounts in
the applicable Controlled Account to the Secured Party’s Account pursuant to the instructions contained in such Control Agreement
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

(iii)        So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may amend Schedule 11 to add or replace a Controlled
Account Bank or Controlled Account and shall upon such addition or replacement provide to Secured Party an amended Schedule
11; provided, however, that (A) such prospective Controlled Account Bank shall be satisfactory to Secured Party,
and (B) prior to the time of the opening of such Controlled Account, the applicable Grantor and such prospective Controlled Account
Bank shall have executed and delivered to Secured Party a Control Agreement.

than amounts deposited into Deposit Accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage
and benefit payments to or for any Grantor’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees, no Grantor will, and no Grantor will permit

intermediary have entered into Control Agreements with Secured Party governing such investments in order to perfect (and further
establish) Secured Party’s Liens in such cash, cash equivalents and investments.

 

(v)         Borrower
will deliver to Secured Party, prior to the 10th day of each month, or on such other frequency as Secured Party may request, a
written report in form and content satisfactory to Secured Party, showing a listing and aging of Accounts and such other information
as Secured Party may request from time to time, and Borrower shall immediately notify Secured Party of the assertion by any Account
Debtor of any set-off, defense, or claim regarding an Account or any other matter adversely affecting an Account.

 

(j)          Name,
Etc. No Grantor will, nor will any Grantor permit any of its Subsidiaries to, change its name, organizational identification
number, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identity; provided, that Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries may change
its name upon at least 10 days prior written notice to Secured Party of such change.

 

8.           Further
Assurances, Etc.

 

(a)          Each
Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security
Interest granted hereby, to create, perfect or protect the Security Interest purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured
Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. By executing this Agreement,
each Grantor also agrees to be bound by all provisions of the Loan Documents applicable to it (and hereby makes all representations
and warranties applicable to such Grantor contained in the Loan Documents), in each case, regardless of whether such Grantor is
an actual party to such Loan Documents.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(b)          Each
Grantor authorizes the filing by Secured Party of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such Grantor
will execute and deliver to Secured Party such other instruments or notices, as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order
to perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.

 

(c)          Each
Grantor authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing
statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of
debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail,
or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance.
Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by Secured Party in any jurisdiction.

 

(d)          Each
Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect
to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party, subject
to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

 

9.           Secured
Party’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Secured Party (or its designee) at any time (a) may proceed
to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any
and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s
rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including
the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter
covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Equity Interests that are pledged hereunder be
registered in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees.

 

10.         Secured
Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, with full authority
in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise to, at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

 

(a)          to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due
under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;

 

(b)          to
receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of
mail to such Grantor to that of Secured Party;

 

(c)          to
receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

 

(d)          to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

 

(e)          to
repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to
such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

(f)          to
use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents,
Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising
for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral
of such Grantor; and

 

(g)          Secured
Party shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and
Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Secured Party shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request
of Secured Party, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Secured Party in aid
of such enforcement.

 

To the extent permitted
by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

 

11.         Secured
Party May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable,
jointly and severally, by Grantors.

 

12.         Secured
Party’s Duties. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interest
in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of
any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have
no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party
accords its own property.

 

13.         Collection
of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Secured Party or Secured Party’s designee may at any time (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts,
General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Secured Party or that Secured
Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor
directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan
Documents.

 

14.         Disposition
of Pledged Interests by Secured Party. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none
of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various
federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one
or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection
with such disposition, Secured Party may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that
a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered
and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that:
(a) if Secured Party shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof
to be sold at a private sale, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized
brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in
determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion
thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive
evidence that Secured Party has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

15.         Voting
and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured Party may, at its option, and with two (2)
Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to Secured Party under any other
agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including
any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is Secured
Party obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Secured Party duly exercises its right to vote
any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Secured Party, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact
and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Secured Party deems advisable for or against all matters submitted
or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted
hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

 

(b)          For
so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it
will not, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests
which would materially adversely affect the rights of Secured Party or the value of the Pledged Interests.

 

16.         Remedies.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(a)          Secured
Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC or any other applicable
law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Secured Party without
demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are
hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession
of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense
and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available
to Secured Party at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified
below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notification by mail to the applicable
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification and specifically such notification shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition”
within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless
of notification of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public 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.
Each Grantor agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC and
(B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the
time when a sale will commence at least ten (10) days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes
of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license
agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method,
terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

(b)          Secured
Party is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s
Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial
designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under
license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing
for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party.

 

(c)          Secured
Party may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to
it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Grantor’s
Deposit Accounts in which Secured Party’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the UCC, instruct the bank
maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of
Secured Party, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Secured Party’s Liens are perfected
by control under Section 9-106 of the UCC, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable
Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Secured Party, or (B) liquidate any financial
assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or
for the benefit of Secured Party.

 

(d)          Any
cash held by Secured Party as 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 the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order
set forth in the Loan Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations
in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

 

(e)          Each
Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a
hearing. Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and
each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto
or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Secured Party.

 

17.         Remedies
Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Secured Party, as provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Secured Party of any one or more
of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Secured Party of any or all such other
rights, powers, or remedies.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

18.         Marshaling.
Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral)
for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security
and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising.
To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral
which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under
any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding
or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully
may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

 

19.         Indemnity
and Expenses.

 

(a)          Each
Grantor agrees to indemnify Secured Party from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including attorneys fees) growing
out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any other Loan Document to which such Grantor
is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking
indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

 

(b)          Grantors,
jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Secured Party all the fees and expenses which Secured Party may incur in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof.

 

20.         Merger,
Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS

22.         Continuing
Security Interest: Assignments under Loan Agreement.

 

(a)          This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the
Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Commitment has expired or has
been terminated, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit
of, and be enforceable by, Secured Party, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause (iii), Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement
to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such
Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement
and the expiration or termination of the Commitment, the Guaranty made and the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, upon Borrower’s
request, Secured Party will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interest. No
transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document,
or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Secured Party nor any additional loans made by Lender
to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them,
by Secured Party shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Secured Party
in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. Secured Party shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed
to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Secured Party and then only
to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

 

(b)          Each
Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled,
avoided, set, aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or
repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by Secured Party to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver
or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force
and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (i) any Lien or other Collateral
securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing clause (a),
or (ii) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral
or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall
not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other
Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

 

23.         Survival.
All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Advances, regardless of any investigation made by any
such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event
of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Loan Documents, and shall continue
in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under the Loan Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitment has not expired or terminated.

 

    	23

    	 

    

  

24.         CHOICE
OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

 

(a)          THIS
AGREEMENT 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 AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AND IT SHALL BE PERFORMABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES IN
DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY
BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND (II) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH GRANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT
MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED OR DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 21. NOTHING HEREIN OR IN ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GRANTOR OR
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF ITS PROPERTY IN COURTS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY LOAN PARTY AGAINST LENDER
SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.

 

(b)          TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY (OR BY ITS EXECUTION OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT,
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF
LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

 

25.         New
Subsidiaries. Each of the Subsidiaries (whether now existing or hereafter acquired) of any Loan Party is required to enter
into this Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Secured Party a Joinder to this Agreement in substantially the form
of Annex 1. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by any such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor
and Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Grantor herein. The execution and
delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor or Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent
of any Guarantor or Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor and Grantor hereunder shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

 

26.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          This
Agreement is a Loan Document. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other
electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also
shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall
not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document
mutatis mutandis.

 

(b)          Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for
the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

and NTR METALS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, together with its successors and assigns, “Secured Party”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to
that certain Loan Agreement dated as of July 19, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Loan Agreement”) by and between DGSE Companies, Inc., as borrower (“Borrower”), and Secured
Party, as lender, Secured Party has agreed to make certain financial accommodations available to Borrower from time to time pursuant
to the terms and conditions thereof; and

 

WHEREAS, initially
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guaranty and
Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Loan Agreement, and this Joinder shall be subject to the rules of construction
set forth in Section 1(b) of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, which rules of construction are incorporated herein by this reference,
mutatis mutandis; and

 

WHEREAS, Grantors have
entered into the Guaranty and Security Agreement in order to induce Lender to make certain financial accommodations to Borrower
as provided for in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to
Section 4.1 of the Loan Agreement and Section 25 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, all Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties
must execute and deliver certain Loan Documents, including the Guarantor and Security Agreement, and the joinder to the Guaranty
and Security Agreement by the undersigned Grantor or Grantors (collectively, the “New Grantors”) may be accomplished
by the execution of this Joinder in favor of Secured Party; and

 

WHEREAS, each New Grantor
(a) is a Subsidiary of Borrower and, as such, will benefit by virtue of the financial accommodations extended to Borrower by Lender
and (b) by becoming a Grantor will benefit from certain rights granted to the Grantors pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for
and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, each New Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.          In
accordance with Section 25 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, each New Grantor, by its signature below, becomes a “Grantor”
and “Guarantor” under the Guaranty and Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein
as a “Grantor” and “Guarantor” and each New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all of the terms and provisions
of the Guaranty and Security Agreement applicable to it as a “Grantor” or “Guarantor” thereunder and (b)
represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a “Grantor” or “Guarantor”

representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date
hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, each New Grantor hereby (a) jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees
as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise,
of all of the Guarantied Obligations, and (b) unconditionally grants, assigns, and pledges to Secured Party to secure the Secured
Obligations, a continuing security interest in and to all of such New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral.
Each reference to a “Grantor” or “Guarantor” in the Guaranty and Security Agreement shall be deemed to

be deemed a part thereof for all purposes of the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

 

3.          Each

office acceptance. Each New Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by Secured
Party in any jurisdiction in connection with the Loan Documents.

 

4.          Each
New Grantor represents and warrants to Secured Party that this Joinder has been duly executed and delivered by such New Grantor
and constitutes its legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting

a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

5.          This

Guaranty and Security Agreement, as supplemented hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

7.          THIS

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantors hereby agree as follows:

 

1.          DEFINED
TERMS. All initially capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Guaranty
and Security Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Loan Agreement, and this Copyright Security Agreement shall be subject
to the rules of construction set forth in Section 1(b) of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, which rules of construction

acquired or arising (collectively, the “Copyright Collateral”):

 

(a)          all
of such Grantor’s Copyrights and Copyright Intellectual Property Licenses to which it is a party including those referred

Copyright Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Secured Party’s
continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.

or any of them, to Secured Party, whether or not they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency
Proceeding involving any Grantor.

 

4.          SECURITY
AGREEMENT. The Security Interest granted pursuant to this Patent Security Agreement is granted in conjunction with the security
interests granted to Secured Party, pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms
that the rights and remedies of Secured Party with respect to the Security Interest in the Patent Collateral made and granted hereby
are more fully set forth in the Guaranty and Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference
herein as if fully set forth herein. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Patent Security Agreement and the Guaranty
and Security Agreement, the Guaranty and Security Agreement shall control.

 

5.          AUTHORIZATION
TO SUPPLEMENT. If any Grantor shall obtain rights to any new patent application or issued patent or become entitled to the
benefit of any patent application or patent for any divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, or reexamination of
any existing patent or patent application, the provisions of this Patent Security Agreement shall automatically apply thereto.
Grantors shall give prompt notice in writing to Secured Party with respect to any such new patent rights. Without limiting Grantors’
obligations under this Section, Grantors hereby authorize Secured Party unilaterally to modify this Patent Security Agreement by
amending Schedule I to include any such new patent rights of each Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to
so modify this Patent Security Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from Secured
Party’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.

 

6.          COUNTERPARTS.
This Patent Security Agreement is a Loan Document. This Patent Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Patent Security Agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Patent Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Patent Security Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart
of this Patent Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Patent Security Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Patent Security Agreement.

 

7.          CHOICE
OF LAW AND VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION. THIS PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING
CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SET FORTH IN SECTION 24 OF THE GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS
ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
