Western National Bank — Xxxxxx Geophysical Company
Revolving Line of Credit Loan in the original principal amount of $20,000,000.00
Term Loan in the original principal amount of $16,426,680.06

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the terms of that certain letter loan agreement, dated as of June 2, 2011 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”), Western National Bank, a national banking association (alternatively, “Western” the “Lender”, or the “Bank”), has previously committed to provide to Xxxxxx Geophysical Company, a Texas corporation (alternatively, “Xxxxxx Geophysical” or the “Borrower”), a revolving line of credit loan in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (the “Revolver Loan”). The Revolver Loan is evidenced by that certain Revolving Line of Credit Note, also dated as of June 2, 2011, in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), executed by the Borrower, as Maker, in favor of the Bank, as Payee (the “Revolver Note”). The Revolver Note is secured by that certain Security Agreement, also dated as of June 2, 2011, executed by Borrower, covering all accounts, equipment, and other items of collateral described therein (the “Existing Security Agreement”). The Bank has perfected the security interest created under the Existing Security Agreement by filing a financing statement (the “Existing Financing Statement”). From time to time, the Existing Security Agreement and the Existing Financing Statement may be collectively referred to herein as the “Existing Security Instruments”.

In addition to, and not in lieu of, the Borrower’s obligations under the Revolver Loan, Borrower has now requested that Western advance a new Term Loan to the Borrower in the original principal amount of Sixteen Million Four Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Eighty and Six/100 Dollars ($16,426,680.06) (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan will be evidenced by that certain Term Note, of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of Sixteen Million Four Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Eighty and Six/100 Dollars ($16,426,680.06),

to be executed by the Borrower, as Maker, in favor of Western, as Payee (the “Term Note”). The Revolver Loan and the Term Loan are collectively referred to herein as the “Loans”. The Revolver Note and the Term Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”.

The Borrower’s performance under the Notes will be secured by its execution of that certain Security Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”), the security interest of which will be perfected by the filing of an amendments to the Existing Financing Statement, covering all of Borrower’s accounts, equipment, and other items of collateral described therein (collectively, the “Security Instruments”). This Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instruments, and any other documents executed simultaneously herewith are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

In addition to the Revolver Loan, which the Bank acknowledges will continue to be valid and subsisting, and for which the Borrower expressly acknowledges that it will continue to be obligated, Western hereby agrees to advance the Term Loan to the Borrower. In consideration of Western’s agreement to advance the Term Loan, and to maintain in place the Revolver Loan, Borrower has agreed to execute this Loan Agreement, the Term Note, the Security Agreement and any other documents, as applicable and required by the Bank. In addition to Borrower’s execution of these documents, the Bank’s obligation to advance the Term Loan to the Borrower shall be subject to the fulfillment of the following terms and conditions of this letter loan agreement (the “Agreement”):

I. TERMS

Agreement

This Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2011, and any extensions, renewals, or modifications hereof.

Borrower

Xxxxxx Geophysical Company

Bank

Western National Bank

Commitment

The lesser of the following amounts: (a) the combined face amount of the Notes; or (b) the sum of the Borrowing Base then in effect for the Revolver Note, plus the amount of principal then outstanding under the Term Loan.

Rate

From June 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, interest under the Notes shall accrue at an annual rate equal to the “Prime Rate”, as defined below, minus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) (the “Prime Rate Index”). Beginning as of July 1, 2011, interest under the Notes shall accrue at an annual rate equal to either: (a) the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus two and one-quarter percentage points (2.25%), or (b) the Prime Rate Index, as the Borrower shall choose monthly by notifying the Bank in writing, via facsimile or e-mail, by the last day of each month, with each change to be effective as of the first day of the following month; provided that such interest rate shall not exceed the “Highest Lawful Rate”, as defined in the Notes, or be less than four percent (4.0%). Should Borrower fail to notify Bank of its election of interest rate for any given month, the interest rate shall remain at the interest rate index chosen by Borrower for the month immediately preceding.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Prime Rate” shall be defined as that rate established as the prime rate in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, a Dow Xxxxx publication, as of each Business Day, as hereinafter defined, (and for holidays or weekends, the Prime Rate shall be the prime rate published in that money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, as of the close of business on the most recent Business Day immediately preceding such weekend or holiday). Without notice to the Borrower or any other person, the Prime Rate may change from time to time pursuant to the preceding sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the effective date reflected in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer. The Bank may make commercial loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above, or below the Prime Rate.

In addition to the definition of “Prime Rate”, as defined above, the term “LIBOR” shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period, as defined below, the rate as established as the 30-day LIBOR in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, a Dow Xxxxx publication, as of each Business Day, as defined below (and for holidays or weekends, LIBOR shall be the 30-day LIBOR published in that money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, as of the close of business on the most recent Business Day immediately preceding such weekend or holiday). Without notice to the Borrowers or any other person, LIBOR may change from time to time pursuant to the preceding sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the effective date reflected in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal. Without notice to the Borrower or any other person, LIBOR may change from time to time pursuant to the preceding sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the effective date reflected in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal. Each change in LIBOR to be charged on the Notes will become effective without notice on the commencement of each Interest Period based upon the Index then in effect. “Interest Period” means each consecutive one month period (the first of which shall commence on June 1, 2011), effective as of the first day of each Interest Period and ending on the last day of each Interest Period; provided that if any Interest Period is scheduled to end on a date for which there is no numerical equivalent to the date on which the Interest Period commenced, then it shall end instead on the last day of such calendar month.

The term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for commercial banks under the laws of the State of Texas.

Security

The Loans shall be secured by those security interests created under the Security Agreement, as perfected under the Financing Statement.

Structure

Under the Term Note, funds will be available until June 30, 2014, the maturity date of the Term Loan. Under the Revolver Note, funds will be available on a revolving basis through June 2, 2013, the maturity date of the Revolver Loan (the “Revolving Period”). During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and re-borrow funds as long as the aggregate amount (including outstanding letters of credit) does not exceed the Commitment.

Borrowing Base

At any time, and from time to time, the amounts outstanding under the Revolver Note shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) the face amount of the Revolver Note; or (b) the Borrowing Base, as determined from time to time by the Bank, acting in its sole and unlimited discretion. As used in this Agreement, the term “Borrowing Base” shall mean an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Eligible Account” shall mean an account receivable of the Borrower (net of any credit balance, trade discount, or unbilled amount or retention) that is contractually due, for which each of the following statements is accurate and complete (and the Borrower, by including such account receivable in any computation of the Borrowing Base, shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Bank the accuracy and completeness of such statements):

	a.		Said account receivable is a binding and valid obligation of the obligor thereon, in full force and effect, and enforceable in accordance with its terms;

	b.		Said account receivable is genuine, in all respects, as appearing on its face as represented in the books and records of Borrower, and all information set forth therein is true and correct;

	c.		Said account receivable is free of all default of any party thereto, counterclaims, offsets, and defenses, and from any rescission, cancellation, or avoidance, and all right thereof, whether by operation of law or otherwise;

	d.		The payment of said account receivable is not more than ninety (90) days past due the invoice date thereof;

	e.		Said account receivable is free of concessions or understandings with the obligor thereon of any kind not disclosed to and approved by the Bank in writing;

	f.		Said account receivable is, and at all times will be, free and clear of all liens except those in favor of the Bank;

	g.		Said account receivable is not a receivable arising from intercompany indebtedness existing between or among any of the Borrower;

	h.		Said account receivable is derived from sales made or services rendered to the obligor in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower;

	i.		The obligor on said account receivable (i) is located within the United States or the District of Columbia; (ii) is not the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, nor has a trustee or receiver been appointed for all or a substantial part of its property, nor has said obligor made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admitted its inability to pay its debts as they mature or suspended its business, (iii) is not affiliated, directly or indirectly, with Borrower, as a subsidiary or affiliate, employee or otherwise; and (iv) is not a state or federal government department, commission, board, bureau, or agency;

	j.		Said account receivable is not owed by a customer whose principal place of business is located in a foreign country; and

	k.		Said account receivable did not arise from sales to an obligor as to whom fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total accounts receivable owing by such obligor to the Borrower are delinquent accounts receivable (that is, an account that is more than ninety (90) days delinquent).

In addition to the criteria stated above for determining whether an account receivable is an “Eligible Account”, the Bank and the Borrower agree that no such account receivable shall constitute an Eligible Account if that account receivable arises from any single customer, other than Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Chesapeake”) or Devon Energy Group and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Devon”), whose accounts receivable constitute more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s total accounts receivable. The Bank agrees that an account receivable owed by Chesapeake to the Borrower (collectively, the “Chesapeake Accounts”) and, likewise, an account receivable owed by Devon to the Borrower (collectively, the “Devon Accounts”) may still qualify as an Eligible Account even if the either set of such Eligible Accounts constitutes more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s total accounts receivable.

Based upon the terms of this Agreement, and the information provided and the representations made by the Borrower to the Bank, the Bank hereby redetermines the Borrowing Base, and establishes it in the amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). Because the redetermined Borrowing Base is equivalent to the principal amount available under the Revolver Loan, the Bank will only be able to increase the Borrowing Base if the Borrower

agrees to pledge additional Collateral, or other circumstances exist that would justify such an increase.

If the aggregate amounts outstanding under the Revolver Note exceed the Borrowing Base at any time, the Bank will provide written notice of that event to Borrower. On or before the tenth (10^th) day following Borrower’s receipt of such notification, Borrower will either, at the direction of the Bank, acting in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) make a mandatory payment to the Bank of the principal of the Revolver Note in an amount at least equal to the amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Note to be less than or equal to the Borrowing Base; or (b) create liens on other assets of Borrower, satisfactory in nature, quantity, and value to the Bank, acting in its sole discretion, said assets to have a fair market value sufficient to at least equal to the amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Note to be less than or equal to the Borrowing Base.

Non-Recourse

Although the Borrower is responsible on a corporate basis for the full repayment of principal and interest due on the Obligations and for any other Event of Default for which the Borrower is responsible, the Bank specifically acknowledges and agrees that neither any of the directors, officers, or employees of the Borrower nor any of the Borrower’s shareholders shall have any personal liability whatsoever for the repayment of the Loans. The sole party responsible for repayment of the Loans shall be the Borrower, and the sole security for the Loans shall be the Collateral covered by the Security Instruments.

Purpose

Funds from the Revolver Loan were used to renew and extend indebtedness owed to the Bank by the Borrower and to provide additional funds for working capital. Funds from the Term Loan will be used to purchase equipment. No proceeds from the Loans shall be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock in violation of Regulations G, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Maturity Date

As stated, the maturity date of the Revolver Note is June 2, 2013, and the maturity date of the Term Note is June 30, 2014.
