  (b)

Eligible Inventory”- Inventory of the Borrower under its control in the United States, including raw materials and finished goods but excluding work in progress, that Amerisource, in its sole credit judgement deems to be worthy of credit extension.

  (c)

  (i)

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 Lenders and Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders 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 Notes 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 any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans 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 Loans 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 Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans 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 Lenders do 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 Lenders with respect to the Loans 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 Loans so that the amount of interest on account of the Loans does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

  (j)

General Payment Terms

 

  (i)

Payments by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement;

 

  (a)

all payments by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein;

 

  (b)

the Administrative Agent shall retain out of payments by Borrower hereunder a fee of TWENTY PERCENT (20%) of all interest and fees paid by Borrower against the Obligations as the Administrative Agent’s fee (the “Agent’s Fee”) prior to disbursing amounts otherwise due to Lenders; the Administrative Agent’s Fee shall be a settlement between Administrative Agent and Lenders and not an additional fee or interest due from Borrower under Section 2.3 (a)-(f).

 

  (c)

the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment, less any amount owed under Section 2.03 (d)(a)(ii) in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s office; and

 

  (d)

all payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

 

  (i)

Payment Dates. If any payment or prepayment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

  (ii)

Advances by Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, then:

 

  (a)

if Borrower fails to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in dollars and in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement    Page | 9


  (b)

if any Lender fails to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in dollars and in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s loan included in the applicable Credit Facility. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to such borrowing. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under this Agreement.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.03(j)(iii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

  (ii)

Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make Loans and to fund or purchase participation interests are several and not joint. The failure of any 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.

 

  (k)

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 Amerisource and each 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.

 

  (l)

Amerisource’s calculation concerning any amount owed by the Borrower to Amerisource hereunder as notified in writing by Amerisource to the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute the true and accurate amount owed, and shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

 

  (m)

Notwithstanding the commitment in Section 2.01 at no time shall the aggregate of all outstanding amounts exceed the Revolving Credit Facility Account Limit. Any amounts outstanding in excess of the Availability under the Borrowing Base Report shall be immediately repaid to Amerisource by Borrower, without demand, notice or presentment.

Section 2.04 Maturity. This term of this Agreement shall expire TWO (2) years from the date of initial funding (the “Initial Maturity Date”). Borrower may terminate the Agreement by giving Amerisource at least sixty (60) days written notice of termination prior to each Maturity Date. Otherwise, unless a Lender provides written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to not so extend, the Initial Maturity Date and any subsequent Renewal Maturity Date shall be automatically extended for an additional two years from the most recent Maturity Date (each a “Renewal Maturity Date” and, individually and collectively the Initial Maturity Date and Renewal Maturity Date are the “Maturity Date”). Upon termination, Borrower shall pay the Obligations to Amerisource for the benefit of the Lenders. In the event of termination of the Agreement prior to the Initial Maturity Date, an Early Termination Fee equal to: (i) THREE PERCENT (3%) of the Revolving Credit Facility Account Limit shall apply if there are twelve or more months remaining until the Initial Maturity Date; and (ii) if less than twelve (12) months are remaining until the Initial Maturity Date, an Early Termination Fee equal to TWO PERCENT (2%) of the Revolving Credit Facility Account Limit shall apply; provided that no such Early Termination Fee shall be charged if the Credit Facility provided hereunder is replaced with a new facility provided by Woodforest or any of its affiliates.

  (h)

Amerisource and its representatives shall have an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to endorse any checks or items, in Borrower’s name, delivered or required to be delivered to a Lockbox or Blocked Account. Payments received by Amerisource in a Lockbox or Blocked Account shall constitute payment on the Obligations when so applied by Amerisource as provided above. Amerisource shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of checks or instruments or the proceeds thereof, or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond avoiding gross negligence or fraud in the custody and preservation of items in the possession of Amerisource. If, notwithstanding Borrower instructions to an Account Debtor, Borrower receives payments directly from an Account Debtor, Borrower agrees not to commingle such remittances with any of its other funds or property, and will hold the funds separate and apart from its own funds or property, in trust for Amerisource, and immediately forward the same to the Lockbox or deposit it in a Blocked Account or an account directed by Amerisource. If Borrower receives any funds into its operating account via electronic transfer, it will immediately wire those funds to Amerisource. Borrower shall pay to Amerisource fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of any payment received by Borrower and not delivered in kind to Amerisource within three Business Days following the date of receipt by Borrower.

  OTHER EXPENSES) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY INDEMNITEES, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING, AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE AND/OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR ANY OTHER THEORY, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO. THE AGREEMENTS IN THIS SECTION 3.01(H) SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENT AND THE REPAYMENT, SATISFACTION OR DISCHARGE OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

 

  (j)

Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnitees from any loss arising out of the assertion of any claim that any payment received by Amerisource or any Lender from or for the account of an Account Debtor is avoidable under the Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief statute (“Avoidance Claim”) or is alleged to have been paid to the wrong party. 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 Amerisource and Lenders to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Amerisource. Borrower shall notify Amerisource within two Business Days of it becoming aware of the assertion of any Avoidance Claim. This indemnity shall include all legal fees and expenses incurred by Amerisource in defending any such Avoidance Claims. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.01(i) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

  (l)

Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lenders make any transfer of any nature or kind (i.e. loans, payments, distributions, dividends, transfer-in-kind) to any shareholder or member of Borrower, provided, however, that Borrower, as long as no Event of Default exists under the Agreement, may upon written notice to Amerisource, pay dividends or make distribution’s to its shareholders/members; provided, however, that, after giving effect to the payment of such distributions, in the aggregate amount, do not cause the Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower to fall below the Tangible Net Covenant in Section 3.01(a). Any amounts paid over the above amount shall be held for the benefit of Amerisource (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and shall be paid over to Amerisource on demand.

The rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Amerisource and the Lenders would otherwise have.

PROMISSORY NOTE

(Revolving Line of Credit)

 

$5,000,000.00   Date: May 6, 2022

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and WITHOUT GRACE, on the dates and in the amounts so herein stipulated, the undersigned, GEOSPACE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Texas corporation (“Geospace”), and GTC, INC., a Texas corporation (“GTC”) (Geospace and GTC hereinafter called “Maker”, whether one or more), jointly and severally, both with an address of 7007 Pinemont Drive, Houston, Texas 77040, hereby promise to pay to the order of AMERISOURCE FUNDING, INC. (“Payee”), at its principal office at 7225 Langtry, Houston, Texas 77040, in coin or currency of the United States of America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances made by Payee to Maker pursuant to this Note and that one certain Revolving Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by Maker as “Borrower” and Payee and the other parties thereto from time to time as “Lenders”, and Amerisource Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and the other Lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”), together with accrued interest on the principal amount hereof remaining unpaid from time to time, computed from the date hereof until maturity at a per annum rate, calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year except for calculation of the Maximum Rate, which will be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) or three hundred sixty six (366) day year, as the case may be, determined on a variable basis, the first such determination being made on the date Payee advances any portion of the principal of this Note, and other determinations being made as described herein), equal to the lesser of (i) or (ii) as follows:

 

  (i)

the greater of: (a) the Base Rate plus 4.00% per annum, adjusted daily without notice from the date hereof for changes in the Base Rate (hereinafter called the “Applicable Rate”) but in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 3.25%, or (b) 7.25% (the “Floor Rate”); or

 

  (ii)

the Maximum Rate (as hereinafter defined),

which interest rate is further limited and controlled by the provisions of this Note hereinafter set forth. The term “Base Rate”, as used herein, shall mean a per annum rate equal to the prime rate as announced by The Wall Street Journal from time to time. The term “Maximum Rate”, as used herein, shall mean, on any day, the highest non-usurious rate of interest (if any) permitted by applicable law on such day. For purposes of the Texas Finance Code, as it may from time to time be amended, the Maximum Rate shall be referred to in and determined under the Texas Finance Code, from time to time in effect; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, Payee reserves the right to change, from time to time by further notice and disclosure to Maker, the ceiling on which the Maximum Rate is based under the Texas Finance Code; and, provided further, that the “highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law” for

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 1


purposes of this Note shall not be limited to the applicable rate ceiling under the Texas Finance Code if federal laws or other state laws now or hereafter in effect and applicable to this Note (and the interest contracted for, charged and collected hereunder) shall permit a higher rate of interest.

If the published rate in The Wall Street Journal is expressed on the applicable date as a range, the Applicable Rate herein shall be calculated using an average between the high and low of that range. If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, Payee may refer to another similar source to calculate the Applicable Rate herein, giving due consideration to industry-accepted market practice, but in no event shall the Applicable Rate herein exceed the Maximum Rate.

This Note shall be due and payable as follows:

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 twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Note (the “Initial Maturity Date”) when all outstanding principal of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable. As more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement, in the absence of a timely notice of termination from Maker, this Note shall automatically renew every two (2) years.

Payee reserves the right to adjust the monthly payments daily for changes in the Base Rate. If Payee elects to adjust the payments, notice of the new payment amount may be sent to Maker in the next loan payment notice sent to Maker. The failure of Payee to adjust payments in response to any Base Rate change shall not constitute a waiver by Payee of its right to do so in response to future rate changes.

BALLOON WARNING

THIS LOAN MAY NOT FULLY AMORTIZE, BUT REGARDLESS, IS PAYABLE IN FULL ON THE EARLIER OF (I) MATURITY DATE, OR (II) ACCELERATION AS PROVIDED HEREIN. AT MATURITY, MAKER MUST REPAY THE ENTIRE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE LOAN AND UNPAID INTEREST THEN DUE. THE PAYEE IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION AND HAS MADE NO COMMITMENT TO REFINANCE THE LOAN AT THAT TIME.

THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 2


The amount of permissible outstanding principal at certain times shall be further limited by the Loan Agreement. If an Event of Default (hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing, the principal hereof and all past due interest hereon shall bear interest at the Default Rate (hereinafter defined).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. As used in this Note, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated below:

“Commitment” means an amount up to $5,000,000.00 USD.

“Default Rate” means the Maximum Rate.

“Event of Default” shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.

Total Commitment” means an amount up to $10,000,000.00 USD

This Note (a) is a Note provided for in the Loan Agreement and (b) is secured as provided in the Loan Agreement, Deed of Trust, and the other Credit Documents executed in connection herewith by the parties. Maker may prepay the principal of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement. Subject hereto and to the Loan Agreement, Maker may borrow, repay, and re-borrow hereunder upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note, any other Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note and each other Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Maker and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

Advances/Revolving Nature: Under the Loan Agreement, and subject to the borrowing requirements therein defined, Maker may request advances and make payments hereunder from time to time, provided that it is understood and agreed that the aggregate principal amount outstanding from time to time hereunder shall not at any time exceed the Commitment, and the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement and all of the Notes shall not at any time exceed the

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 3


Total Commitment. The unpaid balance of this Note shall increase and decrease with each new advance or payment hereunder, as the case may be. This Note shall not be deemed terminated or canceled prior to the Maturity Date, although the entire principal balance hereof may from time to time be paid in full. Maker may borrow, repay and re-borrow under the Loan Agreement accordingly, at the Lenders’ discretion. All regularly scheduled payments of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. All non-regularly scheduled payments shall be applied to such indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. All payments and prepayments of principal of or interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at the address designated by Payee, or such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate in writing to Maker. If any payment of principal of or interest on this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. The books and records of Payee shall be prima facie evidence of all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.

Maker agrees that no advances under this Note shall be used for personal, family or household purposes, and that all advances hereunder shall be used solely for business, commercial, investment or other similar purposes. Specifically, the proceeds of this Note shall be used for the Approved Purposes for this Note as defined in the Loan Agreement.

If default occurs in the payment of principal or interest under this Note, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Lenders shall, at their option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note and each other Note immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, (b) foreclose or otherwise enforce all liens or security interests securing payment hereof or thereof (or any other Credit Document), or any part hereof or thereof (or any other Credit Document), (c) offset against this Note, any other Note, or any other amount owed under or in connection with the Credit Documents, any sum or sums owed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to Maker and (d) take any and all other actions available to under this Note, any other Note, the Loan Agreement, all other Credit Documents at law, in equity or otherwise. Failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.

In no event shall Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is applicable to this Note, the “indicated rate ceiling” specified in such article is the applicable ceiling; provided that, if any applicable law permits greater interest, the law permitting the greatest interest shall apply.

collected through any legal proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all reasonable costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent and such holder, including all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees in the event that the Administrative Agent or such holder is held to be the prevailing party in such legal proceedings.

If Payee or its successor has not received the full amount of any installment payment at the end of the tenth (10th) day after it is due, Maker agrees to pay a late charge to Payee.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: MAKER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT SUIT IS FILED TO ENFORCE THE TERMS HEREOF.

Maker and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note or any other Note or Credit Document jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note or any other Note or Credit Document, all without prejudice to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note or any other Note or Credit Document, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.

Cross-Default. If the Maker, Guarantor(s), or any Affiliates of Maker (defined below) are in default under any other loans or advances of credit (including guaranty agreements or factoring obligations) held by any Lender (each an “Other Obligation”), or if there is a default in any of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions set forth in this Note, or any other Credit Document, or any other instrument relating to this Note or any other Note, then the Lenders, at their option, may declare the entirety of this Note, each other Note and any Other Obligation, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, or notice of intent to accelerate to the Maker or any other person or party, all of which are hereby waived. The Lenders’ failure to or delay in exercise of said option will not constitute a wavier on the part of the Lenders of the right to exercise said option at any other time. Upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, acting at the written instruction of the Lenders 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 this Note, any other Note, and/or any Other Obligation. “Affiliates of Maker” means Geospace Engineering Resources International Inc., a Texas corporation, Geospace Finance Corp., a Texas corporation, Geospace J.V., Inc., a Texas corporation, Geospace Technologies, Sucursal Sudamericana LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or any entity in which 20% or more is owned by, or in which 20% or more voting control is held by, Maker, Geospace Engineering Resources International Inc., a Texas corporation, Geospace Finance Corp., a Texas corporation, Geospace J.V., Inc., a Texas corporation, or Geospace Technologies, Sucursal Sudamericana LLC, a Texas limited liability company, whether now or in the future.

PROMISSORY NOTE

(Revolving Line of Credit)

 

$5,000,000.00    Date: May 6, 2022

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and WITHOUT GRACE, on the dates and in the amounts so herein stipulated, the undersigned, GEOSPACE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Texas corporation (“Geospace”), and GTC, INC., a Texas corporation (“GTC”) (Geospace and GTC hereinafter called “Maker”, whether one or more), jointly and severally, both with an address of 7007 Pinemont Drive, Houston, Texas 77040, hereby promise to pay to the order of WOODFOREST NATIONAL BANK (“Payee”), at its principal office at 1330 Lake Robbins Drive, Suite 500, The Woodlands, TX 77380, in coin or currency of the United States of America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances made by Payee to Maker pursuant to this Note and that one certain Revolving Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by Maker as “Borrower” and Payee and the other parties thereto from time to time as “Lenders”, and Amerisource Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and the other Lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”), together with accrued interest on the principal amount hereof remaining unpaid from time to time, computed from the date hereof until maturity at a per annum rate, calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year except for calculation of the Maximum Rate, which will be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) or three hundred sixty six (366) day year, as the case may be, determined on a variable basis, the first such determination being made on the date Payee advances any portion of the principal of this Note, and other determinations being made as described herein), equal to the lesser of (i) or (ii) as follows:

 

  (ii)

the greater of: (a) the Base Rate plus 4.00% per annum, adjusted daily without notice from the date hereof for changes in the Base Rate (hereinafter called the “Applicable Rate”) but in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 3.25%, or (b) 7.25% (the “Floor Rate”); or

 

  (ii)

the Maximum Rate (as hereinafter defined),

which interest rate is further limited and controlled by the provisions of this Note hereinafter set forth. The term “Base Rate”, as used herein, shall mean a per annum rate equal to the prime rate as announced by The Wall Street Journal from time to time. The term “Maximum Rate”, as used herein, shall mean, on any day, the highest non-usurious rate of interest (if any) permitted by applicable law on such day. For purposes of the Texas Finance Code, as it may from time to time be amended, the Maximum Rate shall be referred to in and determined under the Texas Finance Code, from time to time in effect; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, Payee reserves the right to change, from time to time by further notice and disclosure to Maker, the ceiling on which the Maximum Rate is based under the Texas Finance Code; and, provided further, that the “highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law” for purposes of this Note shall not be limited to the applicable rate ceiling under the Texas Finance Code if federal laws or other state laws now or hereafter in effect and applicable to this Note (and the interest contracted for, charged and collected hereunder) shall permit a higher rate of interest.

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 8


If the published rate in The Wall Street Journal is expressed on the applicable date as a range, the Applicable Rate herein shall be calculated using an average between the high and low of that range. If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, Payee may refer to another similar source to calculate the Applicable Rate herein, giving due consideration to industry-accepted market practice, but in no event shall the Applicable Rate herein exceed the Maximum Rate.

This Note shall be due and payable as follows:

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 twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Note (the “Initial Maturity Date”) when all outstanding principal of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable. As more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement, in the absence of a timely notice of termination from Maker, this Note shall automatically renew every two (2) years.

Payee reserves the right to adjust the monthly payments daily for changes in the Base Rate. If Payee elects to adjust the payments, notice of the new payment amount may be sent to Maker in the next loan payment notice sent to Maker. The failure of Payee to adjust payments in response to any Base Rate change shall not constitute a waiver by Payee of its right to do so in response to future rate changes.

BALLOON WARNING

THIS LOAN MAY NOT FULLY AMORTIZE, BUT REGARDLESS, IS PAYABLE IN FULL ON THE EARLIER OF (I) MATURITY DATE, OR (II) ACCELERATION AS PROVIDED HEREIN. AT MATURITY, MAKER MUST REPAY THE ENTIRE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE LOAN AND UNPAID INTEREST THEN DUE. THE PAYEE IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION AND HAS MADE NO COMMITMENT TO REFINANCE THE LOAN AT THAT TIME.

THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

The amount of permissible outstanding principal at certain times shall be further limited by the Loan Agreement. If an Event of Default (hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing, the principal hereof and all past due interest hereon shall bear interest at the Default Rate (hereinafter defined).

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 9


Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. As used in this Note, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated below:

“Commitment” means an amount up to $5,000,000.00 USD.

“Default Rate” means the Maximum Rate.

“Event of Default” shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.

Total Commitment” means an amount up to $10,000,000.00 USD

This Note (a) is a Note provided for in the Loan Agreement and (b) is secured as provided in the Loan Agreement, Deed of Trust, and the other Credit Documents executed in connection herewith by the parties. Maker may prepay the principal of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement. Subject hereto and to the Loan Agreement, Maker may borrow, repay, and re-borrow hereunder upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note, any other Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note and each other Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Maker and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

Advances/Revolving Nature: Under the Loan Agreement, and subject to the borrowing requirements therein defined, Maker may request advances and make payments hereunder from time to time, provided that it is understood and agreed that the aggregate principal amount outstanding from time to time hereunder shall not at any time exceed the Commitment, and the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement and all of the Notes shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. The unpaid balance of this Note shall increase and decrease with each new advance or payment hereunder, as the case may be. This Note shall not be deemed terminated or

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 10


canceled prior to the Maturity Date, although the entire principal balance hereof may from time to time be paid in full. Maker may borrow, repay and re-borrow under the Loan Agreement accordingly, at the Lenders’ discretion. All regularly scheduled payments of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. All non-regularly scheduled payments shall be applied to such indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. All payments and prepayments of principal of or interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, at the address designated by Payee, or such other place as the holder of this Note shall designate in writing to Maker. If any payment of principal of or interest on this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. The books and records of Payee shall be prima facie evidence of all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.

Maker agrees that no advances under this Note shall be used for personal, family or household purposes, and that all advances hereunder shall be used solely for business, commercial, investment or other similar purposes. Specifically, the proceeds of this Note shall be used for the Approved Purposes for this Note as defined in the Loan Agreement.

If default occurs in the payment of principal or interest under this Note, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Lenders shall, at their option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note and each other Note immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, (b) foreclose or otherwise enforce all liens or security interests securing payment hereof or thereof (or any other Credit Document), or any part hereof or thereof (or any other Credit Document), (c) offset against this Note, any other Note, or any other amount owed under or in connection with the Credit Documents, any sum or sums owed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to Maker and (d) take any and all other actions available to under this Note, any other Note, the Loan Agreement, all other Credit Documents at law, in equity or otherwise. Failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.

In no event shall Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is applicable to this Note, the “indicated rate ceiling” specified in such article is the applicable ceiling; provided that, if any applicable law permits greater interest, the law permitting the greatest interest shall apply.

If the Administrative Agent or the holder hereof expends any effort in any attempt to enforce payment of all or any part or installment of any sum due the holder hereunder, or if this Note or any other Credit Document is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all reasonable costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent and such holder, including all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees in the event that the Administrative Agent or such holder is held to be the prevailing party in such legal proceedings.

 

Revolving Loan & Security Agreement Exhibit ‘B’ Promissory Note    Page | 11


If Payee or its successor has not received the full amount of any installment payment at the end of the tenth (10th) day after it is due, Maker agrees to pay a late charge to Payee. The amount of the late charge will be five percent (5%) of the amount of the overdue installment payment. Maker agrees to pay the late charge promptly. The late charge will be charged only one time with respect to any late installment payment.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS NOTE IS PERFORMABLE IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: MAKER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT SUIT IS FILED TO ENFORCE THE TERMS HEREOF.

Maker and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note or any other Note or Credit Document jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note or any other Note or Credit Document, all without prejudice to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note or any other Note or Credit Document, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.

Cross-Default. If the Maker, Guarantor(s), or any Affiliates of Maker (defined below) are in default under any other loans or advances of credit (including guaranty agreements or factoring obligations) held by any Lender (each an “Other Obligation”), or if there is a default in any of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions set forth in this Note, or any other Credit Document, or any other instrument relating to this Note or any other Note, then the Lenders, at their option, may declare the entirety of this Note, each other Note and any Other Obligation, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, or notice of intent to accelerate to the Maker or any other person or party, all of which are hereby waived. The Lenders’ failure to or delay in exercise of said option will not constitute a wavier on the part of the Lenders of the right to exercise said option at any other time. Upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, acting at the written instruction of the Lenders 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 this Note, any other Note, and/or any Other Obligation. “Affiliates of Maker” means
