Exhibit 10.12
This Corporate Guaranty ("Guaranty") is made on September 19, 2017, by SMG INDIUM RESOURCES LTD., a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), in favor Crestmark Bank ("Crestmark") to induce Crestmark to continue credit and its loan to M G CLEANERS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Borrower") and because Guarantor, whose economic success is vitally linked to Borrower's success, has determined that executing and delivering this Guaranty is in Guarantor's interest and to Guarantor's financial benefit.
1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Crestmark: (a) the full, prompt and unconditional payment when due of all existing and future obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower to Crestmark, including but not limited to the Indebtedness as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement ("Agreement") between Crestmark and Borrower (as may be amended) and all principal, interest and fees under any and all related notes, as they may be amended or restated and whether on demand, at maturity, pursuant to mandatory or optional prepayments, by acceleration or otherwise; and (b) the punctual and faithful performance and observation by Borrower of all duties, agreements, covenants, representations and obligations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents (as defined in Section 3).
2. Absolute, Unconditional and Continuing Obligation. This Guaranty is an absolute, continuing, unconditional, unlimited and irrevocable guaranty. Guarantor will not be relieved from any obligations under this Guaranty until this Guaranty is terminated in accordance with Section 14. The obligations and liabilities of Guarantor will continue notwithstanding any defect in the genuineness, validi ty or enforceability of the Indebtedness or the Loan Documents, or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the liabilities of a surety or guarantor or which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
3. The Loan Documents. The Agreement, all related notes, and all other related documents now existing or hereafter arising and executed in connection with the Loan, including all amendments and restatements thereto (collectively "Loan Documents"), are incorporated into and made a part of this Guaranty by reference.

Crestmark is not required to collect first from Borrower, any collateral, any other guarantor, or any other person. No delay or stay in any acceleration of the [ndebtedness, as against the Borrower, due to the application of any bankr uptcy, insolvency or other law or proceeding will be effective under this Guaranty, and Guarantor agrees to immediately pay the amount of the Indebtedness that would be due and payable but for such delay or stay. All rights, powers, and remedies of Crestmark hereunder and under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and remedies given to Crestmark by law and by agreement.
7. Subordination/Subrogation. In the event that Guarantor becomes obligated to pay any sums to Borrower, or in the event that Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Collateral is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor, the amount of such Indebtedness will at all times be subordinate as to lien, time of payment and alJ other respects, to the amounts owing to Crestmark by Borrower. Furthermore, until the Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full and in cash, Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights Guarantor may have, at law or in equity to seek or claim subrogation. Crestmark has no duty to enforce or protect any rights, which the undersigned may have against Borrower or any other person and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for enforcing and protecting these rights.

15. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is in conflict with any statute or rule of law or is otherwise unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will be deemed null and void to the extent of the conflict or unenforceability and will be deemed severable, but it will not invalidate any other provision of this Guaranty.
