The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to Sections, subsections, Exhibits, Schedules and the like, are to Sections and subsections of, or Exhibits or Schedules attached to, this Agreement unless otherwise expressly provided. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Unless the context in which used herein otherwise clearly requires, “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” Defined terms include in the singular number the plural and in the plural number the singular.

Reference to any law, rule, regulation, order, decree, requirement, policy, guideline, directive or interpretation means as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect on the determination date, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Credit Extensions.

(a) Promise to Pay. Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Lender to Borrowers, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at the rates set forth herein, and all other Obligations owing by Borrowers to Lender, in each case as and when due in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Revolving Advances.

(i) Amount; Principal and Interest Payments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may request Revolving Advances in an aggregate outstanding amount at any time not in excess of Availability. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. On the Revolving Maturity Date, all Revolving Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. If an Overadvance occurs on any date or for any reason, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Lender, upon Lender’s election and demand, in cash, the amount of such Overadvance, which Lender shall use to repay the outstanding Revolving Advances. Borrowers may prepay Revolving Advances under this Section 2.1(b) without penalty or premium, provided that the prepayment of any Revolving Advance that constitutes a LIBOR Loan shall be subject to Section 2.2(e)(iv). Interest shall accrue from the date of each Revolving Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.2(a)(i) and shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

(ii) Form of Revolving Advance Request. Whenever Borrowers desire a Revolving Advance under this Section 2.1(b) other than the initial Revolving Advance to be made on the Closing Date, Administrative Borrower will notify Lender by electronic mail, facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, (A) on the Business Day that the Revolving Advance is to be made if the Revolving Advance will be a Prime Rate Advance or (B) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day the Revolving Advance is to be made if the Revolving Advance will be a LIBOR Loan. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form. Lender is authorized to make Revolving Advances under this Agreement based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower or a designee of such Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Lender’s Permitted Discretion such Revolving Advances are necessary to meet Obligations when due or to make payments to any third parties when due (and Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested such a Revolving Advance hereunder). Lender shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Lender reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower or a designee thereof, and Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Lender as a result of such reliance.

(iii) Disbursement of Proceeds of Revolving Advances. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Lender to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowers, or deemed to be requested by Borrowers, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, (A) in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement instructions from Borrower, and (B) in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer or internal transfer or credit to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Lender from time to time, or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrowers.

(iv) Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to Availability and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the date hereof through the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Lender shall issue for the account of any Borrower such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars as Borrowers may request by delivering to Lender a duly executed letter of credit application on Lender’s standard form; provided, however, the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of Credit (i) shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) shall be deemed to constitute Revolving Advances for the purpose of calculating Availability. Any drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any Letters of Credit shall be charged as a Revolving Advance. All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Lender’s standard-form letter of credit application. Borrowers agree to execute and deliver to Lender any further documentation in connection with any Letter of Credit as Lender may reasonably request. Borrowers will pay any standard issuance and other fees that Lender notifies Borrowers it will charge for issuing and processing Letters of Credit.

(v) [Reserved].

(c) Bank Products. Borrowers may request, and Lender or its affiliates may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide, Bank Products. If Borrowers request Lender and/or its affiliates to procure or provide Bank Products, then Borrowers agree with Lender and/or such affiliates, as applicable, to pay when due all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations with respect to Bank Products and further agree to indemnify and hold Lender and/or such affiliates harmless from any and all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) now or hereafter owing to or incurred by Lender (including those under agreements of indemnifications or assurances provided by Lender to its affiliates) and/or its affiliates with respect to Bank Products, all as the same may arise. If Borrowers shall not have paid to Lender and/or its affiliates such amounts as the same may arise, Lender may cover such amounts by a Revolving Advance, which Revolving Advance shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a) all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations with respect to Bank Products provided by Lender or its affiliates, and all of its agreements under this Section 2.1(e), are part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and (b) the obtaining of Bank Products from Lender or its affiliates (i) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and its applicable affiliates and (ii) is subject to all rules and regulations of Lender and its applicable affiliates.

2.2 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), each Revolving Advance shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at Borrowers’ option, either (A) if such Revolving Advance is a Prime Rate Loan, at a variable rate per annum equal to 1.75% above the Prime Rate or (B) if such Revolving Advance is a LIBOR Loan, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 3.50% above the LIBOR-Based Rate for the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Advance.

(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, at the option of Lender, Borrowers shall pay Lender a late fee equal to the greater of (i) 6% of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) $5.00 (or if less, the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law). At the option of Lender, all Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the respective interest rates applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default; provided that in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.1 or 8.5, such higher rate shall automatically apply without the need for Lender to make any election.

(c) Payments. Interest hereunder on each Prime Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the first calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Interest hereunder on each LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, provided that if the Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan is longer than three (3) months, interest on such LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the day that is three (3) months after the start of such LIBOR period and on the last day of such LIBOR period. Lender shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Lender Expenses, all Periodic Payments and all other Obligations against any of Borrowers’ deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

(d) Changes in Prime Rate; Computation of Interest and Fees. If the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder on Prime Rate Loans shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Additional Provisions Regarding LIBOR Loans.

(i) Borrowers may from time to time submit in writing a request that any existing LIBOR Loan continue for an additional Interest Period or convert to a Prime Rate Loan. Each written request for a continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be substantially in the form of a LIBOR Loan Continuation Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with appropriate insertions, which shall be duly executed by a Responsible Officer. Each written request for a conversion from a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan shall be substantially in the form of the Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form attached as Exhibit C. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, after Lender’s receipt of such a request from Borrower, such LIBOR Loan shall continue or convert, as the case may be, provided that:

(A) In the case of any request for the continuation of a LIBOR Loan, no Event of Default or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default exists;

(B) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement;

(C) Borrowers shall have complied with such customary procedures as Lender has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for LIBOR Loans;

(D) the amount of a LIBOR Loan shall be at least $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof;

(E) Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or LIBOR is available to Lender as of the date of the request for such LIBOR Loan; and

(F) such request for a LIBOR Loan shall be delivered to Lender by 10:00 a.m. Pacific time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the requested LIBOR Loan.

Any request by Borrowers to continue any existing LIBOR Loan shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable LIBOR market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Lender had purchased such deposits to fund such LIBOR Loan.

(ii) At no time shall more than five (5) LIBOR Loans be outstanding under this Agreement.

(iii) Any LIBOR Loan shall automatically continue for the same Interest Period upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Lender has received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such LIBOR Loan for a different Interest Period by 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with the terms hereof. Any LIBOR Loan shall, at Lender’s option, convert to a Prime Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period in the event that an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, upon demand by Lender, any amounts required to compensate Lender for any loss or documented cost or expense incurred by Lender, as a result of the conversion of any LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the foregoing.

(iv) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Lender receives all or part of the principal amount of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, Borrowers shall on demand by Lender, pay Lender the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period or term exceeds (ii) the amount of interest that Lender actually received through the date on which Borrowers prepaid such LIBOR Loan.

(v) If Lender shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, Lender shall give email or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof to Borrowers. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loan requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Prime Rate Loan, and (y) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Lender, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrowers have the right to convert Credit Extensions to LIBOR Loans.

2.3 Crediting Payments. Lender shall apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Lender may receive, as set forth in Section 4.5, to conditionally reduce Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Lender under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the following:

(a) Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, a closing fee equal to $150,000, which fee shall be nonrefundable;

(b) Unused Revolving Line Fee. A fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the difference between the Revolving Line and the Average Monthly Balance in each month, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and shall be nonrefundable;

(c) Letter of Credit Fee. A Letter of Credit fee equal to 3.50% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month for commercial Letters of Credit and payable in advance of issuance and annually thereafter for standby Letters of Credit. Borrowers shall also pay to Lender on demand Lender’s normal and customary administrative charges for the issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit;

(d) Early Termination Fee. A fee in an amount equal to, as applicable: (x) 1.00% of the Maximum Revolving Advances Limit if this Agreement is terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (y) 0.50% of the Maximum Revolving Advances Limit if this Agreement is terminated on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date; and (z) $0 if this Agreement is terminated on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any early termination fee to Lender if this Agreement is terminated at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date as a consequence of a refinance transaction with Lender or any Affiliate of Lender (or with a lending syndicate in which Lender or any Affiliate of Lender is a syndicate member);

(e) Collateral Monitoring Fee. A fee of $1,000, payable monthly in advance, on the first Business Day of each month; and

(f) Lender Expenses. On the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Lender Expenses, as and when requested by Lender.

2.5 Additional Costs. If Lender shall determine that the implementation of any applicable law, final rule or regulation, or the ratification of any treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any adopted and implemented change therein, or any change in the legally binding interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case having jurisdiction over Lender, charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Lender or any person or entity controlling Lender (a “Lender’s Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender (or Lender’s Parent) would have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) business days after demand by Lender, Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, final rules and regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, final rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) (including pursuant to Basel III) shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law for purposes of this Agreement, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. A reasonably detailed statement of Lender, providing citation to the applicable law, final rule or regulation, or treaty pursuant to which Lender claims compensation under this Section 2.5, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, and providing a reasonably detailed calculation of such additional amount or amounts to be paid to Lender hereunder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrowers of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of Borrowers arising pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall survive the Revolving Maturity Date, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.

2.6 Additional Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.

(a) Reimbursement. Payments made by Lender to any Person on account of any Letter of Credit shall be immediately payable by Borrowers without notice, presentment or demand, and Borrowers agree that each payment made by Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance to reimburse Lender for such payment. If such Revolving Advance is not made by Lender for any reason, such reimbursement obligations shall become part of the Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Advances constituting Prime Rate Loans until repaid.

(b) Requests for Letters of Credit. Borrowers shall make requests for Letters of Credit in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such request shall specify the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and a description of the transaction to be supported thereby.

(c) Obligations Unconditional. Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Lender for any payments made by Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit, which obligation shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid regardless of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, (b) any amendment or waiver of or consent or departure from all or any provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (c) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which Borrowers or any other Person may have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or Lender as the issuer of the Letter of Credit, (d) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (e) any payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Lender as the issuer of such Letter of Credit or any other Person or any other event or circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. It is understood and agreed by Borrowers that Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order without further investigation or inquiry, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(d) Expiry Dates. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be no later than the earlier of (a) one (1) year from the date of issuance and (b) sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one or more one (1) year periods, so long as Lender has the right to terminate the Letter of Credit at the end of each one (1) year period. If in its sole discretion, and without any obligation to do so, Lender agrees to issue a Letter of Credit with an expiry date after the Maturity Date, then, at Lender’s request, upon Lender’s issuance of such Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall provide Lender with cash collateral, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Lender shall hold the cash collateral as security for the Letter of Credit Obligations until the outstanding Letters of Credit have expired, been canceled, or drawn upon and paid.

2.7 Taxes.

(a) Withholding. Any and all payments by Borrowers to or on account of any obligation of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that, if Borrowers shall be required by any applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(a)), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions; and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Obligation to Pay. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.7(a), Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnity. Borrowers shall indemnify Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this this Section 2.7) paid by Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Receipts. If requested in writing by Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender, as soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(e) Refunds. If Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, Lender shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 2.7 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrowers, upon the request of Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.7(e) shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

2.8 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Sale of Assets. Upon receipt of the net proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Equipment of Borrower which is subject to a Lien in favor of Lender, Borrowers shall pay such net proceeds to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations, such payment to be applied in such manner as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Default Period is in effect, (A) no prepayment of the Obligations need be made from sales proceeds of assets received on account of Borrowers’ Equipment subject to a Lien in favor of Lender if and to the extent such proceeds are applied to the replacement of such assets within ninety (90) days after Borrowers’ receipt thereof, and (B) no prepayment of the Obligations need be made from sale proceeds if the net proceeds of any sale or disposition of any item of property or of various items of property in a fiscal year are less than $50,000.00.

(b) Insured Losses/Condemnation. If any Equipment of Borrowers which is subject to a Lien in favor of Lender is damaged, destroyed or taken by condemnation in whole or in part, Borrowers shall pay the proceeds thereof to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations, such payment to be applied in such manner as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Default Period is in effect, no prepayment of the Obligations need be made from insurance proceeds received on account of damage or destruction of Borrowers’ Equipment if and to the extent that such insurance proceeds are applied to the repair or replacement of such assets within ninety (90) days after Borrowers’ receipt thereof.

2.9 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Lender has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(e) Lender shall have conducted, or caused to be conducted, and been satisfied with the results of, a field examination of the Collateral;

(f) Lender shall have received Enservco’s current financial statements, including audited statements for Enservco’s most recently ended fiscal year, together with an unqualified opinion, and company-prepared consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and income statements through June 30, 2017, in accordance with Section 6.2, and such other updated financial information as Lender may reasonably request;

The request for each Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrowers on the date of such Credit Extension as to the accuracy of the facts referred to in this Section 3.2.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower grants and pledges to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien on all of its Collateral, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter located, to secure the prompt payment of any and all Obligations and to secure the prompt performance by Borrowers of each of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, and subject only to Permitted Liens that may have priority by operation of law, such security interest constitutes a valid, first-priority security interest in all presently existing Collateral of each Borrower, and will constitute a valid, first-priority security interest in all after-acquired Collateral of each Borrower. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Lender’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Each Borrower authorizes Lender to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of such Borrower and (ii) contain any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether such Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Borrower, if applicable. Borrowers shall from time to time endorse and deliver to Lender, at the request of Lender, all Negotiable Collateral and other documents that Lender may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Lender, to perfect and continue perfected Lender’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Lender chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrowers shall take such steps as Lender reasonably requests for Lender to (i) obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Lender, (ii) obtain Control of any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Electronic Chattel Paper by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers will not create any Chattel Paper without placing a legend on the Chattel Paper acceptable to Lender indicating that Lender has a security interest in the Chattel Paper. Borrowers from time to time may deposit with Lender specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; each Borrower authorizes Lender to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding.

4.3 Pledge of Shares. Enservco hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in and Lien on all of Enservco’s right, title and interest in the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Shares Collateral,” as security for the performance of the Obligations; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Shares Collateral” shall not include securities representing at any time more than 65% of the aggregate voting power of the capital stock of a “controlled foreign corporation,” as defined in Section 957 of the Code). The certificate or certificates for the Shares, if any, will be delivered to Lender, accompanied by an instrument of assignment undated and duly executed in blank by Enservco, and Enservco shall cause the books of each entity whose shares are part of the Shares and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may effect the transfer of the Shares into the name of Lender and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Lender or its transferee and shall thereafter have the right to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Shares. Enservco will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Lender may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Enservco shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and all such rights thereupon shall vest in Lender alone.

4.4 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of such Borrower with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and such Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to Lender. At any time, whether or not an Event of Default then exists, Lender may (but need not), in Lender’s name or in the appropriate Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy. Subject to Section 2.8, any monies received as payment for any loss under any insurance policy mentioned above (other than liability insurance policies) or as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be paid over to Lender to be applied, at the option of Lender, either to the prepayment of the Obligations or shall be disbursed to Borrowers under staged payment terms reasonably satisfactory to Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations. Any such repairs, replacements, or restorations shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed prior to such damage or destruction.

4.5 Lockbox and Blocked Account.

(a) Each Borrower shall direct all of its Account Debtors to make all payments on the Accounts directly to the Lock Box that such Borrower shall establish for the deposit of all payments received by such Borrower. Each Borrower shall immediately deposit in the Blocked Account all other payments received by such Borrower on Accounts in the identical form in which such payments were received, whether by cash or check. If any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary, any shareholder, officer, director, employee or agent of any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert with any Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, such Borrower and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Lender and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Blocked Account.

(b) The financial institution with which the Lock Box and the Blocked Account are established shall acknowledge and agree, in a manner satisfactory to Lender, that the amounts on deposit in the Lock Box and Blocked Account are the sole and exclusive property of Lender, that such financial institution will follow the instructions of Lender with respect to disposition of funds in the Lock Box and Blocked Account without further consent from Borrowers, that such financial institution has no right to setoff against the Lock Box or Blocked Account or against any other account maintained by such financial institution into which the contents of the Lock Box or Blocked Account are transferred, and that such financial institution shall wire, or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds to Lender in a manner satisfactory to Lender, funds deposited in the Blocked Account on a daily basis as such funds are collected.

(c) Borrowers agree that all payments made to the Lock Box or the Blocked Account or otherwise received by Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts or as Proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise (except for proceeds of Collateral which are required to be delivered to the holder of a Permitted Lien which is prior in right of payment to Lender), will be applied on account of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that so long as no Default Period is in effect, payments received by Lender shall not be applied to the unmatured portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans, but at Lender’s election either (i) shall be held in a cash collateral account maintained by Lender until the earlier of (a) the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan and (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) shall be remitted to such deposit account of Borrower as Borrower may request.

(d) Borrowers agree to pay all customary fees, costs and expenses in connection with opening and maintaining the Lock Box and Blocked Account. All of such fees, costs and expenses if not paid by Borrowers when due, may be paid by Lender and in such event all amounts paid by Lender shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be payable to Lender by Borrowers upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by the applicable Borrower to Lender, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on such Borrower’s behalf. For the purpose of this section, each Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse such Borrower’s name upon such items of payment and/or Proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account of such Borrower or Goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or Proceeds thereof and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of such Borrower’s mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to such Borrower and deposited therein.

4.6 Collection of Accounts. Lender may, at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to any Account Debtor and whether before or after the maturity of any of the Obligations, (a) enforce collection of any of Borrowers’ Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrowers by suit or otherwise; (b) exercise all of Borrowers’ rights and remedies with respect to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts or other amounts owed to any Borrower or any Collateral therefor; (c) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts or other amounts owed to any Borrower, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (d) sell or assign any Account of any Borrower or other amount owed to any Borrower upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Lender deems advisable; (e) prepare, file and sign each Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor or other Person obligated to any Borrower; and (f) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Lender’s sole discretion, to fulfill Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents and to allow Lender to collect the Accounts or other amounts owed to Borrowers. In addition to any other provision hereof, Lender may at any time, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at Borrowers’ expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

4.7 Application of Collected Funds.

(a) For the purpose of determining Availability, the balance in the Blocked Account as of the end of a Business Day shall, without duplication, be applied as a provisional credit against the Revolving Advances (subject to reversal to the extent that any portion of such credited balance is dishonored) at the beginning of the next Business Day.

(b) For the purpose of determining the Borrowing Base, that portion of the balance in the Blocked Account as of the end of a Business Day consisting of payments on Accounts, without duplication, at Lender’s election, shall be applied to reduce the total amount of Eligible Accounts set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower as the same may have been previously adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.7(b).

(c) For the purpose of calculating interest and fees due under this Agreement, Lender shall apply all collected and available funds one (1) Business Day after application of the proceeds pursuant to Section 4.7(a).

4.8 Account Statements. On a monthly basis, Lender shall deliver to Borrowers an account statement showing all Credit Extensions, charges and payments, which shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers unless Borrowers notify Lender in writing, specifying any error therein, within thirty (30) days of the date such account statement is sent to Borrowers and any such notice shall only constitute an objection to the items specifically identified.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Qualification. Each Loan Party is a corporation duly existing under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within each Loan Party’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in such Loan Party’s organizational documents, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which any Loan Party is bound. No Loan Party is in default under any agreement by which it is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3 Enforceability. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party and are enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditor’s rights generally and to general principles of equity.

There are no controversies pending or threatened between any Loan Party and any of its employees, agents or independent contractors other than employee grievances arising in the ordinary course of business which would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Loan Party is in compliance with all federal and state laws respecting employment and employment terms, conditions and practices except for such non-compliance which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Intellectual Property Rights. The Disclosure Schedules contain a complete list of all patents, applications for patents, trademarks, applications to register trademarks, service marks, applications to register service marks, mask works, trade dress and copyrights for which each Loan Party is the owner of record (the “Intellectual Property”).

(a) To the extent applicable, each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) the Patriot Act in all material respects and (ii) any applicable anti-money laundering laws or any applicable Sanctions requirements of law that in each case are binding on them, except in the case of this clause (ii) where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of management of Borrowers, none of the Loan Parties, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective officers or directors is an Embargoed Person.

(b) No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or, to the knowledge of management of any Borrower, indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

No Loan Party has any Commercial Tort Claims pending other than those set forth in the Disclosure Schedules and those of which Lender has been advised by Borrowers in writing.

5.16 Accuracy of Financial Statements. All consolidated and consolidating financial statements related to any Loan Party that are delivered by Borrowers to Lender fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Loan Parties as of the date thereof and the results of operations of such Persons for the period then ended.

5.18 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Loan Party has met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from any Loan Party’s failure to comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in such Loan Party’s incurring any liability that could have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations T and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Each Loan Party has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

9. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:

(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);

(b) Demand that Borrowers (i) deposit cash with Lender in an amount equal to the amount of any Letters of Credit remaining undrawn, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay in advance all Letter of Credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of the Letters of Credit, and Borrowers shall promptly deposit and pay such amounts;

(c) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Lender;

(d) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order Lender considers advisable in Lender’s Permitted Discretion;

(e) Make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers agree to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrowers authorize Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien which in Lender’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its Lien and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned premises, Borrowers hereby grant Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(f) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Lender, and (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower held by Lender;

(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;

(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable in Lender’s Permitted Discretion, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Lender deems appropriate in Lender’s Permitted Discretion. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrowers will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrowers shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;

(i) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

(j) Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard to the solvency of any Borrower, any guarantor or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations; and

(k) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers or any Guarantor.

Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s designated officers, or employees) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Lender’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Lender’s possession, cash or deposit such checks or other items of payment or security, and apply to the Obligations all proceeds of such checks or other items; (c) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral and apply all cash sale proceeds to the Obligations; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to such Borrower’s policies of insurance and apply to the Obligations all amounts received by Lender pursuant to such policies; (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Lender determines to be reasonable, and apply to the Obligations all amounts received by Lender in connection with any such settlement and adjustment; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral. The appointment of Lender as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Lender’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

9.3 Accounts Collection. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may notify any Person owing funds to any Borrower of Lender’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Each Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to such Borrower for Lender, receive in trust all payments as Lender’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Lender in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

9.4 Lender Expenses. If Borrowers fail to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrowers: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Line as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.5 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent in Lender’s Permitted Discretion. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

9.5 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. Lender has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

9.6 No Obligation to Pursue Others. Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrowers. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any other Person for any of the Obligations.

9.7 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrowers’ part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Lender and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Borrowers expressly agree that this Section 9.7 may not be waived or modified by Lender by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

9.8 Demand; Protest. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment and any other notices relating to the Obligations.

10. NOTICES.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, demands and other communications by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements, compliance certificates and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid or e-mail) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower or to Lender, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL PREFERENCE.

11.1 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of Borrowers and Lender hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Administrative Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Administrative Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon Administrative Borrower’s actual receipt thereof.

11.2 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

11.3 JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Los Angeles County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure§ 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. Lender shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Borrowers to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder.

12.2 Indemnification. Borrowers shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (b) all losses or Lender Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Lender, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way arising out of, transactions between Lender and Borrowers whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

12.4 Severability of Provisions. 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.

12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Lender may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

12.6 Amendments in Writing, Integration. All amendments to or termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement or to such other Loan Document, as applicable. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. 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 a signature page of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations remain outstanding or Lender has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrowers. The obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Lender with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Lender have run.

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Lender and all employees and agents of Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that Lender exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Lender in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrowers and have delivered a copy to Borrowers, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Lender, (v) to Lender’s accountants, auditors and regulations, and (vi) as Lender may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Lender when disclosed to Lender, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Lender through no fault of Lender; or (b) is disclosed to Lender by a third party, provided Lender does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers hereby consent to Lender’s publishing a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financial transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

12.10 Patriot Act. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account, all in compliance with the Patriot Act. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: when you open an account, we will ask your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

12.11 No Consequential Damages. No party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any agent or attorney of such party or Lender, shall be liable to any other party to this Agreement or any other Person on any other theory of liability of any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

12.12 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until payment in full, in cash, of the Obligations and termination of all of Lender’s obligations hereunder to extend credit (such payment and termination, “Full Payment”), and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for any Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment.

12.13 Waivers.

(a) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the provisions of Sections 12.12 through 12.17 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Lender would decline to make Revolving Advances. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to Section 12.12 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Lender may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate, including realization upon Collateral or any real estate by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies hereunder. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Lender may bid Obligations, in whole or part, at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under Section 12.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

12.14 Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under Section 12.12 shall not exceed the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described in clause (c) below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Borrower makes a payment under Section 12.12 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, ratably based on their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Section 12.14(a) shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Revolving Advances made directly or indirectly to it (including Revolving Advances hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), Bank Products and Hedging Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at any time in its discretion, to condition Revolving Advances upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Revolving Advances to a Borrower based on that calculation.

12.15 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Lender make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender’s willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

12.16 Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to Full Payment.

12.17 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates Enservco Corporation (“Administrative Borrower”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for and receipt of Revolving Advances, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, delivery of Borrowing Base and financial information and reports, payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Lender. Administrative Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower. Lender may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Administrative Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Administrative Borrower for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, delivery, representation, agreement, action, omission or undertaking by Administrative Borrower hereunder shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower.

12.18 One Obligation. The Revolving Advances and other Obligations all constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Lender’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

12.19 Publicity. Borrowers hereby authorize Lender to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement between Borrowers and Lender, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as Lender shall deem appropriate.
