SECTION 5.27 Hazardous Substances; Real Property Collateral.
(a) Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, actions, foreseeable and
27
unforeseeable consequential damages, costs and expenses (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and legal fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel) or loss directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any of the following:
(i) Any hazardous substance being present at any time, whether before, during or after any construction, in or around any part of the real property Collateral (the “Real Property”), or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Real Property, including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, or any resulting damages or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or to any natural resources.
(ii) Any use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a hazardous substance. This indemnity will apply whether the hazardous substance is on, under or about any of Borrower’s property or operations or property leased to Borrower, whether or not the property has been taken by Lender as collateral.
Upon demand by Lender, Borrower will defend any investigation, action or proceeding alleging the presence of any hazardous substance in any such location, which affects the Real Property or which is brought or commenced against Lender, whether alone or together with Borrower or any other person, all at Borrower’s own cost and by counsel to be approved by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, Lender may elect to conduct its own defense at the expense of Borrower. Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Article, except the obligation to give Notices to Lender, shall survive termination of this Agreement, repayment of Borrower’s obligations to Lender under this Agreement, and foreclosure of the deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Real Property or similar proceedings.
(b) Representation and Warranty Regarding Hazardous Substances. Before signing this Agreement, Borrower researched and inquired into the previous uses and ownership of the Real Property. Based on that due diligence, Borrower represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge, no hazardous substance has been disposed of or released or otherwise exists in, on, under or onto the Real Property, except as Borrower has disclosed to Lender in writing.
(c) Compliance Regarding Hazardous Substances. Borrower has complied, and will comply and cause all occupants of the Real Property to comply, with all current and future Laws, regulations and ordinances or other requirements of any Governmental Authority relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning protection of health or the environment or hazardous substances (“Environmental Laws”). Borrower shall promptly, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take all reasonable actions with respect to any hazardous substances or other environmental condition at, on, or under the Real Property necessary to (i) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) allow continued use, occupation or operation of the Real Property; or (iii) maintain the fair market value of the Real Property. Borrower acknowledges that hazardous substances may permanently and materially impair the value and use of the Real Property.
28
(d) Notices Regarding Hazardous Substances. Until full repayment of the Indebtedness in full and termination of the Commitment, Borrower will promptly notify Lender in writing if it knows, suspects or believes there may be any hazardous substance in or around the Real Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Real Property, or that Borrower or the Real Property may be subject to any threatened or pending investigation by any governmental agency under any current or future Law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to any hazardous substance.
(e) Site Visits, Observations and Testing. Lender and its agents and representatives will have the right at any reasonable time, after giving reasonable Notice to Borrower, to enter and visit the Real Property and any other locations where any personal property collateral securing this Agreement is located, for the purposes of observing the Real Property and the personal property collateral, taking and removing environmental samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Real Property. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and testing. Lender will make reasonable efforts during any site visit, observation or testing conducted pursuant this paragraph to avoid interfering with Borrower’s use of the Real Property and the personal property collateral. Lender is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Real Property or the personal property collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by Lender will be solely for the purposes of protecting Lender’s security and preserving Lender’s rights under this Agreement. No site visit, observation or testing or any report or findings made as a result thereof (“Environmental Report”) (i) will result in a waiver of any default of Borrower; (ii) impose any liability on Lender; or (iii) be a representation or warranty of any kind regarding the Real Property or the personal property collateral (including its condition or value or compliance with any Laws) or the Environmental Report (including its accuracy or completeness). In the event Lender has a duty or obligation under applicable Laws, regulations or other requirements to disclose an Environmental Report to Borrower or any other party, Borrower authorizes Lender to make such a disclosure. Lender may also disclose an Environmental Report to any regulatory authority, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in Lender’s judgment. Borrower further understands and agrees that any Environmental Report or other information regarding a site visit, observation or testing that is disclosed to Borrower by Lender or its agents and representatives is to be evaluated (including any reporting or other disclosure obligations of Borrower) by Borrower without advice or assistance from Lender.
(f) Definition of Hazardous Substance. “Hazardous substance” means any substance, material or waste that is or becomes designated or regulated as “toxic,” “hazardous,” “pollutant,” or “contaminant” or a similar designation or regulation under any current or future federal, state or local Law (whether under common Law, statute, regulation or otherwise) or judicial or administrative interpretation of such, including without limitation petroleum or natural gas.
SECTION 5.28 Financial Covenants.
(a) Tangible Net Worth. Borrower’s Tangible Net Worth shall at all times be no less than $10,000,000.00.
(b) Funded Debt to EBITDA. Borrower shall maintain a ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.50:1.0. “Funded Debt” means all outstanding Debt for borrowed
29
money, all Debt comprised of guaranties of money borrowed by any Persons other than Borrower and other interest-bearing liabilities, including current and long term Debt. This ratio will be calculated on a rolling four quarters basis at the end of each fiscal quarter, using the results of the twelve-month period ending at the end of such fiscal quarter.

This ratio will be calculated on a rolling four quarters basis at the end of each fiscal quarter, using the results of the twelve-month period ending at the end of such fiscal quarter. The current portion of long-term liabilities will be measured as of the last day of the calculation period.
SECTION 5.29 Change of Fiscal Year. Borrower will not change its fiscal year from its present fiscal year.
SECTION 5.30 Assignment of Claims Act. Borrower will promptly, upon request by Lender, comply with any and all of the requirements of the Assignment of Claims Act (Title 31 Section 3727 and Title 41 Xxxxxxx 00 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xode), where such statutes are applicable to any Eligible Accounts, and shall take all such other action as may be necessary to facilitate the direct assignment to Lender of the payments due or to become due under any Eligible Accounts which has at least Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in payment obligations to Borrower and which has a duration of at least three (3) months, and such further action as may be necessary to facilitate the creation and perfection of Lender’s security interest in such payments.
SECTION 5.31 Merchantable Inventory; Compliance with FLSA. All Inventory which is included in the Borrowing Base shall be of good and merchantable quality and free from defects, and shall be produced in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§201 et seq.).
SECTION 5.32 Additional Collateral; Further Assurances.
(a) Subject to applicable law, Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and XETAPLAN, Inc., if it acquires any material assets or begins any materials operations, in which case it shall be considered a Subsidiary formed or acquired after the date of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 5.32) to become a Loan Party by executing a Joinder Agreement in form acceptable to Lender and a form of Guaranty Agreement acceptable to Lender.

(c) If any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by Borrower or any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party after the date of this Agreement (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Instruments that become subject to the Lien in favor of Lender upon acquisition thereof), Borrower will notify Lender thereof, and, if requested by Lender, Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Indebtedness and will take, and cause the applicable Subsidiary(s) to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by Lender to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(c) Any representation, warranty or certification made or deemed made herein or in any Security Instrument by any Loan Party, or any certificate furnished to Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof or any Security Instrument, shall prove to have been false or misleading as of the time made or furnished in any material respect; or

The default will be deemed cured if any bankruptcy petition filed against Borrower, any Loan Party, or any general partner of any Loan Party is dismissed within a period of forty-five (45) days after the filing; provided, however, that such cure opportunity will be terminated upon the entry of an order for relief in any bankruptcy case arising from such a petition; or

(k) A material adverse change occurs, or is reasonably likely to occur, in Borrower’s (or any Loan Party’s) business condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects, or ability to repay the Loan; or
38
(l) Any Governmental Authority takes action that Lender reasonably believes materially adversely affects Borrower’s or any Loan Party’s financial condition or ability to repay; or
(m) A default occurs under any other term or condition of this Agreement not specifically referred to in this Article.

If a Default occurs and is continuing, Lender has no obligation to make Advances or extend additional credit under this Agreement. In addition, if any Event of Default occurs, Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies available under any instruments and agreements required by or executed in connection with this Agreement, as well as all rights and remedies available at Law or in equity. If an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(f) occurs, then the entire Indebtedness will automatically be due immediately.
(b) No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable Law shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any such power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such power or right by Lender.
(c) In the event that all or part of the Indebtedness becomes or is declared to be forthwith due and payable as herein provided, Lender shall have the right to set off the amount of all the Indebtedness of Borrower owing to Lender against, and shall have, and is hereby granted by Borrower, a Lien upon and security interest in, all property of Borrower in Lender’s possession at or subsequent thereto, regardless of the capacity in which Lender possesses such property, including but not limited to any balance or share of any deposit, collection or agency account.
(d) After Default all proceeds received by Lender may be applied to the Indebtedness in such order of application and such proportions as Lender, in its discretion, shall choose.

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 8.01 GAAP. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to Lender and all financial covenants will be made under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.
SECTION 8.02 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Oklahoma. To the extent that Lender has greater rights or remedies under federal Law, whether as a national bank or otherwise, this paragraph shall not be deemed to deprive Lender of such rights and remedies as may be available under federal Law.
SECTION 8.03 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on Borrower’s and Lender’s successors and assignees. Borrower agrees that it may not assign this Agreement without Lender’s prior consent. Lender may sell participations in or assign the Loan, and may exchange information about Borrower (including, without limitation, any information regarding any hazardous substances) with actual or potential participants or assignees. If a participation is sold or the Loan is assigned, the purchaser will have the right of set-off against Borrower.
SECTION 8.04 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. Lender retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after a Default. If Lender waives a Default or Event of Default, it may enforce a later one. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing.
SECTION 8.05 Attorneys’ Fees. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, Lender is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of Lender in such a case. As used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of Lender’s in-house counsel.
SECTION 8.06 Indemnification. Borrower will indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by Lender to Borrower hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes but is not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the allocated reasonable cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to Lender, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of Borrower’s obligations to Lender. All sums due to Lender hereunder shall be obligations of Borrower, due and payable immediately without demand.
40
SECTION 8.07 Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between Lender and Borrower, all Notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the signature page, or to such other addresses as Lender and Borrower may specify from time to time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, or (iii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.
SECTION 8.08 Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
SECTION 8.10 Borrower Information; Reporting to Credit Bureaus. Borrower authorizes Lender at any time to verify or check any information given by Borrower to Lender, check Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right at all times to disclose and report to credit reporting agencies and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to Borrower and/or all guarantors as is consistent with Lender’s policies and practices from time to time in effect.
SECTION 8.11 Marshaling; Waiver of 12 OKLA. STAT. § 686. Borrower waives any right it may have to require marshaling of assets or Collateral for repayment of the Indebtedness in the event of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. Upon any Default or Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, realize or foreclose upon any of the Collateral or any portion or part of the Collateral in any order. Borrower waives any and all rights it may have under 12 OKLA. STAT. § 686 or any other applicable Law that may require or arguably require Lender to proceed first against any Collateral or portion of the Collateral in lieu of or prior to proceeding upon any Collateral or portion of the Collateral Lender may choose upon which to proceed first for satisfaction or partial satisfaction of the Indebtedness. Borrower also waives any right under 12 OKLA. STAT. § 686 or under any other applicable Law to obtain credit for the fair market value of any Collateral encumbered by any mortgage, even if such mortgage is released by Lender, unless Lender forecloses such mortgage and the property encumbered thereby is sold at sheriff’s sale or by power of sale pursuant to such mortgage. The terms of this paragraph shall survive any release of any mortgage and shall remain in effect between Lender and Borrower as long as any Indebtedness exists in any form.
SECTION 8.12 Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and the delivery of the Loan Documents. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to constitute representations and warranties by Borrower.
SECTION 8.13 Parties in Interest. All covenants, agreements and obligations contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
41
assigns of the parties hereto, except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
SECTION 8.14 Jurisdiction; Venue. For purposes of enforcing and/or interpreting the provisions of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, or resolving any dispute arising out of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Oklahoma, Borrower waives all objections to service of process therefrom and Borrower waives all objections to venue of any state or federal court sitting in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
SECTION 8.15 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall the amount or rate of interest due and payable under this Agreement exceed the Highest Lawful Rate and, in the event any such excess payment is made by Borrower or received by Lender, such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal or be refunded to Borrower, at the option of Lender. It is the express intent hereof that Borrower not pay and Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be paid under applicable Law.
SECTION 8.16 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document or applicable Law shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege of Lender. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any other instrument or by Law. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender. No Notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further Notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 8.17 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or obtains a loan. Lender will ask for Borrower’s legal name, address, tax ID number or social security number and other identifying information. Lender may also ask for additional information or documentation or take other actions reasonably necessary to verify the identity of Borrower, Loan Parties, or other related Persons.
