For value received, the undersigned Meier Properties, Series LLC, an Utah limited liability company, with an address of 2221 North 3250 West, Vernal, Utah 84078 and Superior Drilling Products, LLC, an Utah limited liability company, with an address of PO Box 1656, Vernal, Utah 84078 and Meier Family Holding Company, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, with an address of 2221 North 3250 West, Vernal, Utah 84078 (collectively, the "Borrower"), jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of Proficio Bank, a State Chartered Commercial Bank with an address of 6985 Union Park Center, Suite 150, Cottonwood Heights, Utah 84047 (together with its successors and assigns, the "Bank"), the principal amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($240,000.00) on or before July 3, 2017 (the "Maturity Date"), as set forth below, together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding until paid in full. The Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest, as follows: $2,604.63 commencing on August 3, 2012, and the same amount (except the last installment which shall be the unpaid balance) on the 3rd of each month thereafter, until changed in accordance with this Note. The aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to Two Percent (2.00%) above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined). Upon any change in the interest rate in accordance with this Note, each monthly installment due and payable thereafter (except the last installment which shall be the unpaid balance) shall be recalculated (increased or reduced) to reflect the adjusted interest rate, the outstanding principal balance at such time and the remaining term of the 10 year amortization period commencing on the date of this Note in accordance with the Bank's calculation in the Bank's sole discretion.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the interest rate on this Note is limited by a floor as follows: the minimum interest rate (i.e. floor) is 5.50% per annum.

 

Wall Street Journal Prime Rate means the highest rate published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal as the Prime Rate, or, in the event the Wall Street Journal ceases publication of the Prime Rate, the base, reference or other rate then designated by the Bank, in its sole discretion, for general commercial loan reference purposes, it being understood that such rate is a reference rate, not necessarily the lowest, established from time to time, which serves as the basis upon which effective interest rates are calculated for loans making reference thereto.

 

The effective interest rate applicable to the Borrower's loans evidenced hereby shall change on the date of each change in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.

 

Principal and interest shall be payable at the Bank's main office or at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year.

Any payments received by the Bank on account of this Note shall, at the Bank's option, be applied first, to any costs, expenses or charges then owed to the Bank by the Borrower; second, to accrued and unpaid interest; third, to the unpaid principal balance hereof; and the balance to escrows, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments received after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied in such manner as the Bank may determine. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to charge any deposit account which the Borrower may maintain with the Bank for any payment required hereunder without prior notice to the Borrower.

 

If pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Borrower is at any time obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law for the loan evidenced by this Note, the applicable interest rate shall be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof grant to the Bank a continuing lien on and security interest in any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Bank to the Borrower and/or each endorser or guarantor hereof and any cash, securities, instruments or other property of the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof in the possession of the Bank, whether for safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from the Bank (regardless of the reason the Bank had received the same or whether the Bank has conditionally released the same) as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of the Borrower and/or any endorser or guarantor hereof to the Bank and such deposits and other sums may be applied or set off against such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower or any endorser or guarantor hereof to the Bank at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand has been made and whether or not other collateral is then available to the Bank.

 

No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Bank, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any future occasion. The Borrower and every endorser or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing, waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices of every kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or enforcement of this Note and assent to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable and waives all recourse to suretyship and guarantor defenses generally, including any defense based on impairment of collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note waive and terminate any homestead rights and/or exemptions respecting any premises under the provisions of any applicable homestead laws, including without limitation, Utah Code 78-23-4 and hereby agrees not to file a declaration of homestead under Utah Code 78-23-4.

 

The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note shall indemnify, defend and hold the Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "Indemnitee") harmless against any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by the Borrower, by any endorser or guarantor, or by any other person (as well as from attorneys' reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Bank's relationship with the Borrower or any endorser or guarantor hereof (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by the Bank with counsel of the Bank's selection, but at the expense of the Borrower and any endorser and/or guarantor), except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank.

The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note agree to pay, upon demand, costs of collection of all amounts under this Note including, without limitation, principal and interest, or in connection with the enforcement of, or realization on, any security for this Note, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of 4.0% plus the rate provided for herein. If any payment due under this Note is unpaid for 10 days or more, the Borrower shall pay, in addition to any other sums due under this Note (and without limiting the Bank's other remedies on account thereof), a late charge equal to 5.0% of such unpaid amount.

 

This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof and upon their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors, endorsees and assigns.

 

The liabilities of the Borrower and each Borrower, if more than one, and any endorser or guarantor of this Note are joint and several; provided, however, the release by the Bank of the Borrower or any one or more endorsers or guarantors shall not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Any and all present and future debts of the Borrower to any endorser or guarantor of this Note are subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Bank. Each reference in this Note to the Borrower and each Borrower, if more than one, and endorser or guarantor of this Note, is to such person individually and also to all such persons jointly. No person obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other person also obligated, unless and until all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness to the Bank of the person from whom contribution is sought have been irrevocably satisfied in full. The release or compromise by the Bank of any collateral shall not release any person obligated on account of this Note.

 

The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof each authorizes the Bank to complete this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Note may be made by the Bank, and any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence with the same effect as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence.

 

The Borrower will from time to time execute and deliver to the Bank such documents, and take or cause to be taken, all such other further action, as the Bank may request in order to effect and confirm or vest more securely in the Bank all rights contemplated by this Note or any other loan documents related thereto (including, without limitation, to correct clerical errors) or to vest more fully in or assure to the Bank the security interest in any collateral securing this Note or to comply with applicable statute or law.

 

This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah Without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

Any notices under or pursuant to this Note shall be deemed duly received and effective if delivered in hand to any officer or agent of the Borrower or Bank, or if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Borrower or Bank at the address set forth in this Note or as any party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other party.

 

The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note each irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or state court sitting in Utah, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. Each of the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that the same has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereby consents to any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding, (i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered and certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower’s, endorser's or guarantor's address shown below or as notified to the Bank and (ii) by serving the same upon the Borrower(s), endorser(s) or guarantor(s) in any other manner otherwise permitted by law, and agrees that such service shall in every respect be deemed effective service upon the Borrower or such endorser or guarantor.
