 GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

 

			
	BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY	 	Date: April 17, 2012

 Dear Sirs: 
 As
an inducement to Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Bank”), to extend credit to and to otherwise deal with The Goldfield Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and in consideration thereof, the undersigned (and each of
the undersigned jointly and severally if more than one) hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Bank and its successors and assigns the due and punctual payment of any and all notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, primary or
secondary (whether by way of endorsement or otherwise), of Borrower, at any time, now or hereafter, incurred with or held by Bank, together with interest, as and when the same become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, in
accordance with the terms of any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations or liabilities or agreements evidencing any such indebtedness, obligation or liability including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof. The obligation of the
undersigned is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
 The undersigned is Bank’s debtor for all indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities for which this Guaranty is made, and Bank shall also at all times have a lien on and security interest in all stocks, bonds and other securities of the undersigned at any time in Bank’s possession and the same shall at Bank’s
option be held, administered and disposed of as collateral to any such indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Borrower, and Bank shall also at all times have the right of set-off against any deposit account of the undersigned with Bank in the
same manner and to the same extent that the right of set-off may exist against the Borrower. 
 It is understood that any such notes, drafts,
debts, obligations and liabilities may be accepted or created by or with Bank at any time and from time to time without notice to the undersigned, and the undersigned hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor of
any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities or other evidences of any such indebtedness, obligation or liability. 
 Bank may
receive and accept from time to time any securities or other property as collateral to any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, and may surrender, compromise, exchange and release absolutely the same or any part thereof at any
time without notice to the undersigned and without in any manner affecting the obligation and liability of the undersigned hereby created. The undersigned agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security
interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held for the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities for which this Guaranty is made. 

This obligation and liability on the part of the undersigned shall be a primary, and not a secondary, obligation and liability, payable immediately upon
demand without recourse first having been had by Bank against the Borrower or any other guarantor, person, firm or corporation, and without first resorting to any property held by Bank as collateral security; and the undersigned hereby waives the
benefits of all provisions of law, for stay or delay of

execution or sale of property or other satisfaction of judgment against the undersigned on account of obligation and liability hereunder until judgment be obtained therefor against the Borrower
and execution thereon returned unsatisfied, or until it is shown that the Borrower has no property available for the satisfaction of the indebtedness, obligation or liability guaranteed hereby, or until any other proceedings can be had; and the
undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank for all costs of collection, including but not limited to the costs of repossession, foreclosure, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs incurred by the Bank in the event that the Bank should
first be required by the undersigned to resort to any property held by the Bank or in which the Bank has a security interest or to obtain execution or other satisfaction of a judgment against the Borrower on account of Borrower’s obligation and
liability for its indebtedness guaranteed hereby; and the undersigned further agrees that the undersigned is responsible for any obligation or debt, or portion thereof, of the Borrower to the Bank which has been paid by the Borrower to the Bank and
which the Bank is subsequently required to return to the Borrower or a trustee for the Borrower in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and the undersigned further agrees that none of the undersigned shall have any right of subrogation,
reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank unless and until all of the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank have been paid in full. The undersigned
hereby waives, to the extent avoidable under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, any right arising upon payment by the undersigned of any obligation under this Guaranty to assert a claim against the bankruptcy estate of the Borrower. 

This Guaranty is unlimited and applies to all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising and howsoever evidenced.

 To secure the payment of all obligations of the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned hereby grants a security interest and lien in the
following goods and property owned by the undersigned: 
 Blanket lien on all machinery, equipment, and vehicles of Southeast Power Corporation
(“Collateral”). 
 The undersigned hereby agrees to execute and deliver to Bank any security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, UCC
financing statement, or other document required by the Bank in order to protect or perfect its security interest or lien in the Collateral. This document shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of Florida
(“Code”), and in addition to having all other legal rights and remedies, the Bank shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. 
 This agreement shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns, and the owners and holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, and shall remain in
force until a written notice revoking it has been received by Bank; but such revocation shall not release the undersigned from liability to Bank, its successors and assigns, or the owners and holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities hereby guaranteed, for any indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Borrower which is hereby guaranteed and then in existence or from any renewals, extensions or modifications thereof in whole or in part, whether such renewals,
extensions or modifications are made before or after such revocation, with or without notice to the undersigned. The undersigned waives presentment, demand, protest and

notices of every kind and assents to any one or more extensions, modifications, renewals or postponements of the time or amount of payment or any other indulgences given to Borrower. The
undersigned shall be responsible for and shall reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or the protection or preservation of
any right or claim of the Bank in connection herewith, including without limitation costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with its attempts to collect the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities guaranteed hereby. 

If the Borrower is a corporation, this instrument covers all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to Bank purporting to be made or undertaken on
behalf of such corporation by any such officer or agent of said corporation without regard to the actual authority of such officer or agent. The term “corporation” shall include associations of all kinds and all purported corporations,
whether correctly and legally chartered and organized. 
 The undersigned covenants, warrants, and represents to the Bank that: (i) this
Guaranty is enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms; (ii) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty does not violate or constitute a breach of any agreement to which the undersigned is a party; (iii) that there
is no litigation, claim, action or proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge of the undersigned, threatened against the undersigned which would materially adversely affect the financial condition of the undersigned or his ability to fulfill his
obligations hereunder; (iv) that the undersigned has knowledge of the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs; and (v) unless otherwise required in a Loan Agreement, if applicable, as long as any Obligations remain outstanding or
as long as Bank remains obligated to make advances, the undersigned shall furnish annually an updated financial statement in a form satisfactory to Bank, which, when delivered shall be the property of Bank. 

This Guaranty is made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Florida. The undersigned agrees that
any dispute arising out of this Guaranty shall be adjudicated in either the state or federal courts of Florida and in no other forum. For that purpose, the undersigned hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts of Florida.
The undersigned waives any defense that venue is not proper for any action brought in any federal or state court in the State of Florida.
