Howdy,

If you comment out the use of the mtpro2 package it compiles fine.

I don't understand why you are using xelatex rather than pdflatex since you don't really use system fonts. If I compile using pdflatex (with the mtpro2 package but commenting out the fontspec line) all is fine again.

Good Luck,
