Re: | Agreement to Accept Short Pay and Release Liens |
Dear Rich:
Reference is hereby made to all amounts owing by Enservco Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Dillco Fluid Service, Inc., a Kansas corporation, Heat Waves Hot Oil Service, LLC and Heat Waves Water Management LLC, each a Colorado limited liability company (each a “Borrower,” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), to East West Bank, a California corporation (the “Lender”), including but not limited to those amounts owing pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated August 10, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) executed by Borrowers in favor of Lender, and all security agreements, mortgages, guarantees and documents related thereto (collectively, the “Security Documents”). The Security Documents, Loan Agreement, and the other documents executed in connection therewith are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents” and sums due by Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Documents, are referred to as the “Indebtedness.”
In full satisfaction of the Indebtedness, Lender will accept the sum of (i) $8,400,000.00 (the “Payment”) plus (ii) 5% of net proceeds advanced against Borrowers’ monthly receivables financed by LSQ Funding (“LSQ”), or any successor lender financing Borrowers’ receivables, up to $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Receivables Proceeds”), subject to the conditions that that (i) the Payment is received by Lender on or before March 31, 2022 (the “Payment Date”), and (ii) substantially simultaneously with tendering the Payment, Borrowers direct LSQ in writing in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, to remit directly to Lender 5% of Receivables Proceeds otherwise payable to Borrowers up to but in no event exceeding $1,000,000 in the aggregate (the “LSQ Notice”). For the avoidance of doubt, the agreement of Lender to accept the above sums in satisfaction of the Indebtedness and release its liens and security interests, as provided below, is contingent on Lender receiving the entire Payment by the Payment Date, and Borrower delivering the LSQ Notice to LSQ on or before the Payment Date.
Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that as of the date of this Agreement the Indebtedness exceeds the sum of the Payment and Receivables Proceeds.

The Payment shall be made by wire transfer to Lender as follows:
Beneficiary Name: East West Bank
Account Number: 242833-187
Receiving Bank Name: East West Bank
135 North Los Robles Ave, Suite 600
Pasadena, CA 91101
Attention: Managed Assets

Other: Attn: Angela Lee, LNs ###-###-#### and 66819011
Upon timely receipt of the Payment (i) the Indebtedness shall have been satisfied in full, (ii) the Loan Documents and any commitments to lend thereunder will terminate and Borrowers and any guarantors of the Indebtedness will have no further liability under the Loan Documents, (iii) any guarantees of any of the Indebtedness shall be released and discharged, (iv) the liens and security interests of Lender in any and all of the property of the Borrowers and any guarantors of the Indebtedness shall be automatically released and terminated, including without limitation, any liens and security interests evidenced by UCC-1 filings (and upon effectiveness of such release, Borrowers and/or their agents are authorized to terminate any such filing evidencing such security interests) including but not limited to (A) UCC-1 Filing No. 20175322539 filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 10, 2017, with Enservco Corporation, as Debtor, and (B) UCC-1 Filing No. 20172074992 filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on August 10, 2017, with Heat Waves Hot Oil Service LLC, as Debtor), and (iv) the only debt owing by Borrowers to Lender will be the Receivables Proceeds, which shall survive satisfaction of the Indebtedness and termination of the Loan Documents.
Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees the amount owing as Receivables Proceeds is an unsecured obligation of Borrowers, and Borrowers shall have no obligations under the Loan Documents (secured or unsecured) to Lender after remitting the Receivables Proceeds. Lender agrees, upon the reasonable request of Borrower and/or its respective attorneys, to execute and deliver to the requesting party additional terminations, releases and satisfactions of the Lender’s liens on, and security interests in, Borrower’s property (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) as are reasonably necessary to evidence the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and the termination of the interests of the Lender in all collateral held with respect thereto..
Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Receivables Proceeds obligation is an unsecured obligation of the Borrowers separate and distinct from the Indebtedness and the Loan Documents, and is not released by the following release of claims.
Borrowers, effective upon timely tender of the Payment and giving of the LSQ Notice, for themselves and their respective partners, officers, shareholders, directors, managers, members, agents, servants, contractors, employees, parent, affiliated and subsidiary corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, and predecessors-in-interest, do absolutely and irrevocably waive, release, and forever discharge Lender, and its partners, officers, shareholders, directors, managers, members, agents, servants, contractors, employees, parent, affiliated and subsidiary corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies from any and all claims, rights, demands, actions, suits, causes of actions, damages, counterclaims, defenses, losses, costs, obligations, rights of indemnification, reimbursement or contribution, liabilities and expenses of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to any circumstances or state of facts pertaining to the Indebtedness or the Loan Documents, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a release of any of Lender’s obligations under this Agreement.
