Word, III, an individual (“Pledgor”), with his principal residence located at 721 S. Parker Street, Suite 300, Orange, California 92868, and Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Lender”), with its principal office located at 5300 W. 95th Street, Oak Lawn, IL 60453. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given such terms in that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith by and between Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) and Lender (as amended or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).
RECITALS
Whereas, Borrower has requested that Lender advance certain loans, extensions of credit and other financial accommodations (the “Financial Accommodations”) to Borrower pursuant to (a) the Loan Agreement, and (b) the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith; and
Whereas, Charles Schwab Institutional acting in its capacity as trustee, custodian and/or investment manager or advisor for the “Account” (as hereinafter defined) (individually and collectively, “Securities Intermediary”), holds cash, cash equivalents and/or marketable securities owned by Pledgor, on deposit in Pledgor’s Account number 2521-4342 maintained with Securities Intermediary (such account including any master accounts, sub-accounts, additions, substitutions and replacements thereto, and including any renumbered account associated therewith, are individually and collectively, the “Account”) under a custodian account agreement wherein Securities Intermediary is acting as agent and Pledgor is the principal;
Whereas, Pledgor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Pledgor owns sixteen percent (16%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Better Choice Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Parent owns 100% of Borrower, and thus Pledgor is benefitted by the Financial Accommodations made by Lender to Borrower, and (ii) this Agreement and Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities contained herein secure all of Borrower’s obligations and liabilities to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and is thus a material inducement to Lender continuing to provide the Financial Accommodations to Borrower; and
Whereas, Lender has agreed to provide the Financial Accommodations to Borrower, provided, among other things, Pledgor executes and delivers this Agreement to Lender.
Now, Therefore, as an inducement to Lender to provide the Financial Accommodations, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor and Lender agree as follows:
1. Collateral and Obligations. Pledgor hereby grants a security interest in and pledges to Lender the Account and all of the property now or hereafter therein or subject thereto, including cash, cash equivalents, stocks, bonds, notes, bills, securities (whether certificated or uncertificated), security
entitlements and securities accounts and investment property, together with all proceeds and income therefrom and all replacements, additions and substitutions thereof (collectively, the “Collateral”) as security for the following (together or individually, the “Obligations”): (a) all “Liabilities” (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement), and (b) all obligations and liabilities of Pledgor to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under the Loan Agreement.
2. Control Agreement and Account Agreement. The Account shall be subject to the control of Lender in accordance with the terms of that certain Pledged Asset Account Agreement dated on or around the date hereof by and among Pledgor, Lender and Securities Intermediary (as amended or restated from time to time, the “Control Agreement”).

3. Warranty of Title/Collateral Representations and Covenants. Pledgor hereby warrants and represents that the Pledgor owns all of the securities in the Account, and will own all additional securities placed in the Account, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except those granted by this Agreement and “Permitted Liens”, as hereinafter defined), and has full power and authority to execute this Agreement, and to subject the Collateral to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the security interest herein created.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate marked to market value of the Approved Securities is less than the Minimum Required Amount at any time as a result of securities no longer being deemed Approved Securities and/or the decline in the market value thereof, Pledgor shall have five (5) Business Days from its knowledge thereof to deposit additional Approved Securities into the Account such that after giving effect thereto the marked to market value of the Approved Securities pledged to Lender under this Agreement is not less than the Minimum Required Amount, without such occurrence being deemed an Event of Default hereunder. “Minimum Required Amount” means, $6,000,000; provided that, if no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default then exists or is caused thereby on a pro forma basis, the Minimum Required Amount shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis contemporaneously with each principal payment under Term Loan A. “Permitted Liens” means (y) Liens for taxes, assessments and other government charges or levies not yet due and payable or which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which Pledgor has maintained adequate reserves and as to which the holder thereof has not sought to exercise enforcement rights with respect thereto; and (z) Liens retained by Securities Intermediary to the extent permitted by the terms of the pursuant to the Control Agreement.

12. Acts Not Affecting Obligations. None of the following shall affect the liabilities of Pledgor under this Agreement, or the Obligations, or the rights of Lender with respect to the Collateral:
(a) acceptance or retention by Lender of other property or interests as security for the Obligations, or for the liability of any person other than Pledgor with respect to the Obligations;

The indemnification provided for in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall not be affected by the presence, absence or amount of or the payment or nonpayment of any claim under, any insurance.
13. Sale of Unregistered Securities. Whenever Lender would have the right under this Agreement to sell any Collateral which is in the form of investment securities, Pledgor agrees that if, in the opinion of Lender or its legal counsel, sales of such securities by Lender or the Pledgor without registration of the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) might, unless accomplished by one or more of the methods described in subsection (a), (b) or (c) below, constitute either Lender or Pledgor an “underwriter,” as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Act, it shall be commercially reasonable for Lender without registration to:
(a) sell all or part of the securities in compliance with Rule 144 or Regulation A under the Act as then in effect, or pursuant to any other rules or regulations under the Act then in effect, compliance with which would make applicable to the sale the exemptions provided pursuant to Section 3(b) or 4(1) of the Act; or
(b) sell all or part of the securities in an intrastate public offering within the meaning of Section 3(a)(11) of the Act; or
(c) sell all or part of the securities in one or more private transactions not involving any public offering in order to secure the exemption provided in Section 4(1) of the Act, if:
(i) the securities are sold for cash to the highest bidder after offers to purchase have been received from at least two offerors;
(ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe and does believe that each such offeror has sufficient financial resources to enable him to purchase the securities offered and that the offer was made in good faith;
(iii) each such offeror was informed, prior to the time he made his offer to purchase, that offers to purchase the securities were also being solicited from others; and
(iv) Lender has, for at least 30 days prior to the sale, solicited offers to purchase the securities within the restrictions imposed by federal or state securities laws.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent Lender from making any other commercially reasonable disposition of the securities, and no sale of such securities shall be commercially unreasonable solely because it was not made in compliance with this Section.
14. Irrevocable Proxy on Default. In addition to Lender’s other rights, Pledgor irrevocably appoints Lender as proxy, with full power of substitution and revocation, to exercise Pledgor’s rights to attend meetings, vote, consent to and/or take any action respecting the Collateral or an issuer thereof as fully as Pledgor might do. This proxy remains effective so long as any of the Obligations are unpaid but shall not be exercised by Lender unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
15. Rights Cumulative; No Waiver. All of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not alternative and are in addition to any rights and remedies under the Loan Agreements and the other Loan Documents. Forbearance by Lender with respect to any of the terms and conditions herein contained or Lender’s failure to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof. No provision hereof may be waived or modified orally; all waivers or modifications to be effective shall be in writing, signed by the parties hereto.
16. Releases Only in Writing. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations to Lender have been performed or paid in full and Pledgor receives written notice from Lender confirming the termination of this Agreement.
17. Requests. All requests by Pledgor to Lender under this Agreement shall be given to Lender in writing. All directions given by Lender to Securities Intermediary shall be given in writing.
18. Information. Pledgor agrees that Lender may obtain from Securities Intermediary any information it desires respecting the Collateral or the Account at any time.

Pledgor agrees that Lender shall have no duty or obligation to advise, furnish or supply Pledgor of or with any information known to Lender, any other circumstances relating to non-payment of the Obligations or otherwise. If Lender, in its sole discretion, provides any advice or information to Pledgor, Lender shall be under no obligation to investigate the matters contained in such advice or information, or to correct such advice or information if Lender thereafter knows or should have known that such advice or information is misleading or untrue, in whole or in part, or to update or provide any other advice or information in the future.
(e) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that Pledgor may have a right of indemnification, subrogation, contribution and reimbursement from Lender, or any guarantor of the Obligations. Pledgor understands the benefits of having such rights, including, but not limited to, (i) Pledgor’s right to reimbursement of all monies expended for the payment of the Obligations; and (ii) Pledgor’s subrogation to the rights of Lender after payment of the Obligations. Pledgor knowingly and voluntarily waives, releases and relinquishes Pledgor’s rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from Lender or any other party.
