Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loan unless (a) all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are true and correct on and as of the date of such Loan, with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except to the extent any such representation and warranty specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date), (b)no Material Adverse Change has occurred, and (c)no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(i) If and when applicable, Borrower may submit a Request for Funds each Business Day for an amount not to exceed the Availability amount reflected on that day’s Borrowing Base Report.

(d) Maintenance of Account and Dominion of Funds. At such time as Borrower requests Availability against and prior to any funding against Eligible Accounts Receivable , Lender requires dominion of funds. Borrower shall direct all payments from its Account Debtors to a bank account controlled by Lender or governed by a Deposit Account Control Agreement in favor of Lender (“Blocked Account”). Lender shall send notice of assignment letters to all Account Debtors on Borrower’s letterhead affirming these payment instructions. Payments received by Lender, whether such payments are received at a Lockbox, a Blocked Account, forwarded to Lender by Borrower, or otherwise, shall be applied to reduce the Borrower’s outstanding Obligations to Lender with a maximum of three days for check clearance. Borrower shall maintain its primary operating account with a banking institution approved by Lender, into which the proceeds of all advances will be disbursed. Borrower shall provide to Lender viewing rights to all bank accounts maintained by Borrower. Any and all charges and expenses relating to a Blocked Account shall be for Borrower’s account.

(d) Interest Rate: The Borrower shall pay to Lender, for the benefit of the Lender, on a monthly basis an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus THREE AND HALF PERCENT (3.50%) per annum, to be calculated and charged monthly by Lender based upon the average outstanding balance of all funds employed for all Obligations. The prime rate of interest shall be determined and updated as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, but in no event shall be less than 6.00% per annum (the “Floor”).
(e) Non-Usage Fee: A fee of TWENTY-FIVE HUNDREDTHS PERCENT (0.25%), to be allocated among the Lender, will be assessed quarterly on the difference between the Borrower’s average daily outstanding loan balance and the Total Credit Facility.
(f) Payment of Principal and Interest.
(i) Revolving Credit Facility.
(a) Accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be payable monthly, commencing one (1) calendar month from the date hereof, and continuing thereafter on the same day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter until thirty-six (36) months from the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”) when all outstanding principal of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable.
(ii) Payment of Default Rate Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the existence of an Event of Default, interest payable at the Default Rate under the Note shall be payable from time to time on written demand from Lender to Borrower.
(iii) Payment in Full at Maturity. On the Maturity Date, each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay in full, and there shall become due and payable in full, the entire outstanding Obligations under the Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other sums then owing under the Credit Documents and to satisfy all other Obligations then owing.
(g) Prepayments.
(i) Voluntary Prepayment. Subject to the Non-Usage Fee, the Commitment Fee, the Early Termination Fee under Section 2.04** **and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrowers may prepay all or any part of the revolving principal amount at any time without premium or penalty upon notice to Lender. Each voluntary prepayment is subject to the following conditions:
(a) Lender must receive Borrower’s written or telephonic prepayment notice not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of the Loan;
(b) Borrower’s prepayment notice shall (i) specify the prepayment date, (ii) specify the amount of the loan to be prepaid, (iii) specify whether the revolving principal amount is being prepaid (and if not specified, such prepayment will be applied to the revolving principal amount), and (ix) constitute an irrevocable and binding obligation of Borrower to make a prepayment in such amount on the designated prepayment date; and
Revolving Loan & Security Agreement *Page | *6

(c) each such partial prepayment shall be in the minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $10,000 or, if less than such minimum amounts, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
(ii) Application of Prepayments.
(a) All prepayments under Section 2.3(g) shall be applied to the revolving principal amount with no corresponding reduction in the Total Credit Facility.
(b) All prepayments under Section 2.03(g) shall be applied based on the Lender’s respective Commitment Percentages.
(h) Computations of Interest and Fees.
(i) Calculation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis stated in the Promissory Note. Interest shall accrue from and including the Closing Date or from the first date of borrowing to but excluding the last day occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
(ii) Maximum Rate. It is the intent of the Lender and Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lender and Borrower are hereby limited by the provisions of this section which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity date of the Obligations), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, under the Note or otherwise, exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the Maximum Rate, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and interest owing pursuant to such documents shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Rate without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loan under Applicable Law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loan. The right to demand payment of the Loan or any other debt evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lender does not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender with respect to the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loan so that the amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, then:
(ii) Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lender under this Agreement to make the Loan and to fund or purchase participation interests are several and not joint. The failure of Lender to make any Loan or to fund or purchase any participation interest on any date required under this Agreement shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or fund its participation interest.
(j) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, all the Obligations made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more promissory note(s) duly executed and delivered by the Borrower in form and detail acceptable to Lender (as may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”). The initial form of Note is attached as Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes**.**

Any amounts outstanding in excess of the Availability under the Borrowing Base Report shall be immediately repaid to Lender by Borrower, without demand, notice or presentment.

Each applicable Loan Party shall execute and deliver such other security documents in respect of intellectual property, real property or any other Collateral as are reasonably requested by the Lender.

Section 2.06 Setoff and Recoupment. Lender is hereby authorized at any time and to the fullest extent permitted by law, without notice to the Borrower or Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and Guarantor), to setoff, recoup, and apply any and all deposits or other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or subsidiaries of Lender to or for the Borrower’s, Guarantor’s or an affiliate’s credit or account against any and all of their respective obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not Lender has made any demand under this Agreement, or any other Credit Document, and although such obligations may be unmatured.

In the event of such Avoidance Claim, the indebtedness originally intended to be repaid thereby shall be automatically reinstated and shall be enforceable against Borrower, and Borrower shall be and remain liable to Lender to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender within two Business Days of it becoming aware of the assertion of any Avoidance Claim.

The Lender’s failure to or delay in exercise of said option will not constitute a wavier on the part of Lender of the right to exercise said option at any other time. Upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, Lender shall also have the right to exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses now or hereinafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the right to foreclose any and all liens and security interests securing the Obligations. “Affiliates of Borrower” means Geospace Engineering Resources International Inc., a Texas corporation, Geospace Technologies, Sucursal Sudamericana LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Quantum Technology Sciences, Inc. a Florida corporation, Aquana, LLC, a Vermont LLC, Geovox Security, Inc., a Texas corporation, or any entity in which 20% or more is owned by, or in which 20% or more voting control is held by, Maker, Geospace Technologies, Sucursal Sudamericana LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Quantum Technology Sciences, Inc. a Florida corporation, Aquana, LLC, a Vermont LLC, or Geovox Security, Inc., a Texas corporation, whether now or in the future.
