XPEL, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to THE BANK OF SAN ANTONIO ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Six Million & 00/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from May 11, 2020, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using an interest rate of 3.500% per annum based on a year of 360 days, until maturity. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section. PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in 36 payments of $176,373.04 each payment. Borrower's first payment is due July 5, 2020, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower's final payment will be due on June 5, 2023, and will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. Payments include principal and interest. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; and then to any late charges. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note exceed (except for any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding, unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on a per diem basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method. PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment premium: Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, the prepayment will be applied to the last maturing principal and will not affect any scheduled installment payment (until this Note has been paid in full). However, Borrower shall pay the Lender at the time of such prepayment a premium a premium for the privilege of prepayment in dollars equivalent to the stated percentage of the amount prepaid: If prepayment is made the percentage is From February 20, 2009 to February 20, 2010 3% From February 20, 2010 to February 20, 2011 2% From February 20, 2011 to February 20, 2012 1% This premium shall apply to any prepayment, whether voluntary or involuntary, except this premium shall not apply to (and there shall be no premium for), a prepayment (i) through a refinancing with Lender, or (ii) by application of casualty loss insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower send such payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay further amount owed to Lender. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Prepayment in full shall consist of payment of the remaining unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Note or any other agreement with Lender pertaining to this loan, and in no event will Borrower ever be required to pay any unearned interest. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: THE BANK OF SAN ANTONIO, 1900 NW Loop 410 San Antonio, TX 78213. EXCEPTION TO PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. The prepayment premium will only be charged if XPEL, Inc. refinances the subject loan with another financial institution. Also the prepayment premium will not be charge if XPEL, Inc. uses their own funds to pay off the loan balance. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 18.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law. DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note: Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note. Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents. False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as "charge or collect"), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Texas (as applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower. The right to accelerate maturity of sums due under this Note 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 collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the loan evidenced by this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the loan evidenced hereby does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of this Note, and notice of acceleration of the maturity of this Note. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.
