ARTICLE II

THE LOAN

 

2.01         Loans.     
The Banks previously made loans to the Borrowers pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement. In consideration of the Restructuring
Transactions, the Banks have agreed to reduce Borrowers’ liability under such loans to Four Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($4,500,000), to be a term Loan hereunder. Any loans outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement as of the Closing Date
shall be deemed, and shall hereafter be, Loans outstanding under this Agreement. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Banks
hereby acknowledge and agree that $4,500,000 of unpaid principal (with no accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Closing
Date) is outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement and such amount of principal (with no accrued and unpaid interest thereon
as of the Closing Date) shall remain outstanding under this Agreement as of the Closing Date and shall be evidenced by the Note
executed as of the Closing Date, and all notes issued and outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement immediately prior to the
execution of this Agreement are deemed consolidated, amended, restated and replaced by the Note issued on the Closing Date. The
Loans deemed made or advanced by each Bank to the Borrowers shall be evidenced by the Banks’ respective Notes from the Borrowers.
The Borrowers may not borrow any additional amount hereunder; the only Loans being made under this Agreement are the term loans
deemed outstanding as of the Closing Date, which are evidenced by a Note in the principal amount of $4,500,000 issued on the Closing
Date. Borrowers shall repay in full on the Maturity Date any balance of the Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with
all accrued but unpaid interest. Any amount of the Loans repaid cannot be reborrowed.

 

2.02         Extension
of Maturity Date. The Maturity Date shall be extended to January 30, 2018 if (a) Borrowers provide irrevocable written notice
of their intention to extend the Maturity Date to Administrative Agent prior to the initial Maturity Date and (b) no later than
the first Business Day following delivery of such written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Banks, an extension fee of $100,000. The Maturity Date shall be extended to April 30, 2018 if (x)
the Maturity Date was previously extended to January 30, 2018, (y) Borrowers provide irrevocable written notice of its intention
to further extend the Maturity Date to Administrative Agent prior to the then-effective Maturity Date and (z) no later than the
first Business Day following delivery of such written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Banks, an extension fee of $100,000.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

2.03         Discounted
Prepayment of Loans. The Loans shall be deemed paid in full if (a) all fees and indemnification obligations of Borrowers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including those arising under Sections 2.08, 10.04 and 10.05)
have been paid in full, (b) Borrowers provide to Administrative Agent prior to the Maturity Date an irrevocable written notice
of their intention to prepay the Loans in full by paying the Prepayment Amount to Administrative Agent, and (c) no later than
the first Business Day following delivery of such written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Banks, the Prepayment Amount. Upon the prepayment of the Loans described in the preceding sentence
(x) the outstanding amount of any Loans (including accrued but unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed forgiven and satisfied
in full and (y) the Administrative Agent shall release its Liens on the Collateral as if the Obligations had been paid in full.

 

2.04         [Reserved].

 

2.05         Prepayments.

 

(a)          Borrowers
may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.,
Central Time, two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Loans and (ii) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount
of $100,000 or a greater integral multiple of $10,000, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrowers, Borrowers shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(b)          On
the date each Net Revenue Calculation is required to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01(c),
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, the Net Revenues for the month that is the subject
of such Net Revenue Calculation.

 

(c)          For
the avoidance of doubt, all prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.05(a) and (b), above, shall be credited against
and reduce both (i) amounts due under the Loans, and (ii) the Prepayment Amount (as set forth in the definition of Prepayment Amount).

 

2.06         Repayment
of Loans. Borrowers shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks, on the Maturity Date the aggregate
principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

 

2.07         Interest.

 

(a)          Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at
a rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

(b)          If
any amount payable by Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods),
whether at stated maturity by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore, while any Event of Default
exists (or after acceleration), Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at an interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest
on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)          Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the Maturity Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest
hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.08         Fees.
Borrowers shall pay the fees and expenses set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter as and when due and payable under the
terms thereof. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the term “Credit Agreement”, as defined in the Administrative
Agent Fee Letter, includes this Agreement.

 

2.09         Computation
of Interest and Fees. All other computations of interest and all fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear
interest for one day.

 

2.10         Evidence
of Debt. The Loans made or deemed made by Banks shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Loans made or deemed made by Banks to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any
failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder
to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, if not previously provided,
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Bank a Note, which shall evidence the Loans, in addition to such accounts or records.
Each Bank may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments
with respect thereto.

 

2.11         Payments
Generally.

 

(a)          (i)
All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. All payments by Borrowers hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent at the Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date specified herein. All payments received by Administrative Agent
after 2:00 p.m., Central Time, may be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

(b)          If
any payment to be made by Borrowers 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.

 

2.12         Pro
Rata Treatment and Payments. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers on account of principal of and interest
on the Loans shall, be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Banks.
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

 

2.13         Sharing
of Payments and Setoffs.     Each Bank agrees that if it shall, through
the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower (pursuant to Section 10.08 or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or
other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Bank under any applicable Debtor
Relief Laws or otherwise, or by similar means), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans (other
than pursuant to Section 3.02) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately
less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Bank, it shall simultaneously purchase from such other Banks
at face value a participation in the Loans of such other Banks, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans and participations
in Loans held by each Bank shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding
as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff, counterclaim or other event was to
the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff, counterclaim or other event;
provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.13
and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be
rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest.

 

2.14         Limitation
on Liability. Borrowers, Banks and Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that Borrowers’ obligations hereunder
are secured by a Lien on the Kansas Assets, and that following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
the sole recourse of Banks and Administrative Agent against Borrowers for Borrowers’ obligations hereunder shall be limited
to the Kansas Assets, provided that Parent may be liable pursuant to the Limited Guaranty, to the extent provided in, and
subject to the terms and conditions of, the Limited Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in the
Limited Guaranty, and subject to Parent's obligations under the Original Borrowers Security Agreement, as amended by the Original
Borrowers Security Agreement Amendment, in no circumstance shall any of the Banks, Administrative Agent, or any of their Affiliates,
agents, or other related persons, have recourse against Parent or any of its assets under this Agreement, the Existing Loan Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

    	 	22	 

     

    

 

2.15         Release
of Parent. Banks and Administrative Agent hereby agree that immediately upon the execution of this Agreement by all parties
hereto and with no further action of any Person, (a) Parent is hereby released and removed as a "Borrower" under the
Existing Loan Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents, except for the Original Borrowers Security Agreement, as amended
by the Original Borrowers Security Agreement Amendment, and (b) Parent shall have no obligations whatsoever to any Banks, Administrative
Agent, or any other party or Person under the Loan Documents, and shall not be subject to any covenants or agreements, under this
Agreement, the Existing Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, in each case except as expressly provided in the Limited
Guaranty or Original Borrowers Security Agreement, as amended by the Original Borrowers Security Agreement Amendment.

 

2.16         Further
Assurances. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is the intention of the parties for (a) Administrative Agent
to have a perfected, first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on all Kansas Assets until the Obligations are, or are deemed
to be, paid in full, and (b) the Collateral to not include any assets other than the Kansas Assets.  The Loan Parties each
covenant and agree to take such further actions, and execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional assignments,
agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or
desirable in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Kansas Assets until the Obligations are,
or are deemed to be, paid in full.  The Administrative Agent and Banks each covenant and agree to take all actions that any
of the EnerJex Entities may in their reasonable judgment deem necessary or desirable to (a) release any Liens on any assets of
the EnerJex Entities that are not Kansas Assets and (b) terminate any deposit account control agreements or similar control agreements
with respect to deposit accounts of any of the EnerJex Entities that do not constitute or contain Kansas Assets, including, but
not limited to, by amending all UCC financing statements outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement and Existing Collateral
Documents to reflect the same; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent
and Banks shall not be required to release any Liens on the real property assets being transferred to PCR Holdings, LLC pursuant
to the Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the EnerJex Entities and PCR Holdings,
LLC, which are remaining in place at the request of PCR Holdings, LLC, an Affiliate of Pass Creek Resources LLC. 

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01         Taxes.

 

(a)          Any
and all payments by Borrowers to or for the account of the Bank Parties under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings
or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Bank Parties, taxes imposed
on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction
(or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which any Bank Party is organized or maintains a lending office (all such
non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrowers shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Bank Parties, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section),
each Bank Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall
make such deductions, (iii) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty days after the date of such payment, Borrowers shall furnish to Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if the relevant taxation authority or other
authority has not provided Borrowers with such a receipt, other evidence of payment thereof.

 

    	 	23	 

     

    

 

(b)          In
addition, Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).

 

(c)          If
Borrowers shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document
to any Bank Party, Borrowers shall also pay to such Bank Party, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such
Bank Party specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or
measured by net income) that such Bank Party would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

 

(d)          Borrowers
agree to indemnify the Bank Parties for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Bank Parties, and (ii) amounts payable under
Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority and provided that such Bank Party has made demand therefor within sixty (60)
days following the imposition thereof. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within thirty days after the
date any such Bank Party makes a demand therefor. To the extent Borrowers pay such Taxes or reimburse any Bank Party for such Taxes
or Other Taxes, and such Bank Party subsequently receives a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Bank Party shall pay to Borrowers
the refunded amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by Borrowers.

 

3.02         [Reserved]

 

3.03         [Reserved].

 

3.04         Reduced
Return; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)          [Reserved].

 

    	 	24	 

     

    

 

(b)          If
such Bank determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation
thereof, or compliance by such Bank (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
of such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank’s desired return on capital), then from time to
time upon demand of such Bank, Borrowers shall pay to such Bank such additional amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction;
provided that such Bank has made demand therefor within sixty (60) days following such introduction or change.

 

3.05         [Reserved].

 

3.06         Matters
Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Article III
and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

 

3.07         Survival.
All of Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

 

3.08         Replacement
of Banks. If any Bank requests compensation under, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, or if any Bank defaults
in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then upon notice to such Bank and Administrative Agent, Borrowers may require such
Bank to sell and assign all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one
or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (after all of the Banks not requesting or entitled to indemnification or reimbursement
hereunder have declined to acquire such additional interests, rights and obligations or portion thereof), with the consent of
the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that such Bank shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and all accrued interest, fees and other amounts payable
with respect thereto through the date of sale. Such sale and assignment shall be consummated pursuant to an executed Loan Transfer
Supplement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(c).

Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers to file any UCC financing statements covering the Collateral whether or
not Borrowers’ signatures appear thereon. Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other EnerJex Entity, to do whatever Administrative

not have a Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower or the value of any Borrower Oil and Gas Property.

 

6.18         Inspection
of Tangible Assets/Right of Audit. Permit any authorized representative of Administrative Agent to visit and inspect (at the

6.19         Leases.
Keep and continue all Leases comprising the Borrower Oil and Gas Properties and related contracts and agreements relating thereto
in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and not permit the same to lapse or otherwise become impaired for
failure to comply with the obligations thereof, whether express or implied; provided, however, that this provision
shall not prevent Borrowers from abandoning and releasing any such Leases upon their termination as the result of cessation of
production in paying quantities that did not result from Borrowers’ failure to maintain such production as a reasonably

thereunder as of the date hereof (to the extent such amount exceeds actual out of pocket expenses, the excess shall be applied
to reduce future balances owed by Borrowers, and Borrowers shall remain liable for unpaid expenses should the amount paid be less

from acting (and, as between such Administrative Agent and the Banks, shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from
acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of

Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or applicable law.

 

    	 	45	 

     

    

 

8.02         Administrative
Agent’s Reliance, Etc. NEITHER ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, COUNSEL OR
EMPLOYEES SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY BANK FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (I) WITH THE CONSENT OR AT THE REQUEST OF THE REQUIRED BANKS OR (II) IN THE ABSENCE OF
ITS OR THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION (IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ITS DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, AGENTS, COUNSEL AND EMPLOYEES SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS AND OMISSIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 8.02 RESULTING
FROM THEIR SOLE ORDINARY OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE). Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Administrative
Agent: (i) may treat the payee of each Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult
with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries), independent public accountants and other

responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi)

consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email, telegram, telecopier, cable or telex) reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (vii) the provisions of this Section
8.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Indebtedness
under this Agreement.

 

8.03         Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates. If Administrative Agent is a Bank, then with respect to the Loans made by it and the Note issued
to it as a Bank, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. The term “Bank” or “Banks”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind
of business with Borrowers, any of their respective Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of
Borrowers, any of its respective Subsidiaries, all as if Administrative Agent were not Administrative Agent and without any duty
to account therefor to the Banks.

 

    	 	46	 

     

    

 

8.04         Bank
Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 5.05 and such other documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges
and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

8.05         Administrative
Agent Indemnity. Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or to prosecute or defend any suit
in respect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents unless indemnified to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction by the
Banks against loss, cost, liability and expense. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent shall become impaired, it
may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given. IN ADDITION,
THE BANKS AGREE TO PROTECT, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY BORROWERS),
RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS OF THE NOTES THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM (OR IF NO NOTES ARE AT THE TIME OUTSTANDING,
RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE AMOUNTS OF THEIR OUTSTANDING LOANS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS,
LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH
MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED UNDER ARTICLE II OF THIS AGREEMENT); PROVIDED, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR
ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS
RESULTING FROM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS DETERMINED BY A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT

indemnify Administrative Agent ratably as aforesaid for all such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising out of or resulting from Administrative Agent’s ordinary or
contributory negligence. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any out of pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by Borrowers. The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment
or assignment of any of the Indebtedness under this Agreement.

 

    	 	47	 

     

    

 

8.06         Successor
Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks. If the Administrative
Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks (or the affiliates thereof) or another
financial institution agreed to by the Required Banks, a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative
agent shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be subject to the approval of the Borrowers (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date
of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, a successor
administrative agent from among the Banks (or the affiliates thereof) or other financial institutions agreed to by the Required
Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative
Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers
and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections
10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or while it was actively engaged in transferring its rights and obligations
as Administrative Agent to the successor administrative agent. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as
the Administrative Agent by the date 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Banks shall perform all
of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor administrative
agent as provided for above. If the Administrative Agent is the subject of an insolvency proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws
as a debtor and the Administrative Agent has not received court permission to continue to serve in its capacity as administrative
agent hereunder as it was serving prior to the commencement of such proceeding, then upon request by the Required Banks, the Borrowers
shall make during such time all payments otherwise due to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, directly to
such Banks.

 

8.07         Notice
of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder
unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative
Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks; provided, however, if such notice is received from a Bank, Administrative
Agent also shall give notice thereof to Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to take action or refrain from taking
action with respect to such Default as provided in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02.

    	 	54	 

     

    

 

10.06         Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to a Bank Party, or a Bank exercises its right
of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Bank Party in its discretion) to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise,
then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

 

10.07         Successors
and Assigns; Participation; Purchasing Banks.

 

(a)          Whenever
in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the
Banks that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all the Banks
(with notice thereof to the Administrative Agent).

 

(b)          Each
Bank may, without the consent of, but with notice to, Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions
in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
all or a portion of the Loans owing to it, and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) the selling Bank’s
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Banks
shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) the selling Bank shall remain the holder of its Note(s) for all purposes of this
Agreement, and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment,
waiver or consent would reduce to the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest
on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Borrowers
agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 to the same
extent as if it were a Bank. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or
3.04 than a Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.

 

    	 	55	 

     

    

 

(c)          With
the prior written consent of Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (a “Purchasing Bank”), all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing
to it and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such Bank must first offer to Administrative Agent the
right to purchase such interests, rights and obligations as a Purchasing Bank before any such Bank offers or agrees to assign such
rights to another Bank, or any other bank or entity, (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage
of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) after giving
effect to such assignment, the Purchasing Bank’s Loan must be at least $500,000 (either solely as the result of such assignment
or as the result of multiple assignments from two or more assigning Banks), (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Transfer Supplement together with any Notes subject to such Loan Transfer Supplement,
(v) the assigning Bank shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500 and (vi) an assigning Bank shall not assign
a portion of such Bank’s Loan in an amount less than an amount equal to the lesser of such Bank’s Loan hereunder and
$500,000. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective date specified in each Loan Transfer Supplement, which
effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof (x) the Purchasing Bank thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) the assignor
Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (and, in the case of a Loan Transfer Supplement covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Loan
Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition
of such Purchasing Bank and the resulting adjustment of Percentage Shares arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of
all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Bank under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.07 or in the form of Loan Transfer Supplement, the Borrowers’
approval of the transfer from any Bank to any Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the assigning Bank’s interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be necessary at any time following the Closing Date.

 

(d)          The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its office a copy of each Loan Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Loan Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
of manifest error, and Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Bank
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

    	 	56	 

     

    

 

(e)          Upon
its receipt of a Loan Transfer Supplement executed by an assigning Bank and a Purchasing Bank together with any Notes subject to
such Loan Transfer Supplement and the written consent of Borrowers, if required, and Administrative Agent to such Loan Transfer
Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Loan Transfer Supplement, (ii) record the information contained therein
in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Banks and Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of
such notice, Borrowers shall, at their own expense, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered
Notes, replacement Notes dated as of the effective date of such surrendered Notes and otherwise substantially in the form of the
Notes replaced thereby payable to the order of such Purchasing Bank in an amount equal to the Loan assumed by it pursuant to such
Loan Transfer Supplement and, if the assigning Bank has retained any Loan hereunder, replacement Notes dated as of the effective
date of the surrendered Notes and otherwise substantially in the form of the Notes replaced thereby payable to the order of the
assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Loan of such assigning Bank retained by it hereunder. Such replacement Notes shall be
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes. Contemporaneously with the
delivery of the replacement Notes, the canceled Notes shall be returned to Borrowers marked “Replaced.”

 

(f)          Each
Bank and Administrative Agent agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Bank Parties and their respective Affiliates,
(ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Bank Party, (iii) to regulatory officials, (iv) to
any Person as such Bank or Administrative Agent reasonably believes it is compelled to disclose to pursuant to law, regulation,
or legal process, (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding with respect to the Loans, Loan Documents or transaction
contemplated thereby to which such Bank is a party, (vi) to such Bank’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in
swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, and (vii) permitted by
this Section; provided, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (vi), that such Persons are informed
of the confidential nature thereof and instructed to keep such information confidential. Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
10.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to Borrowers
or any other Subsidiary of Borrowers furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of Borrowers or any other Subsidiary of Borrowers;
provided, that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall
agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Borrowers and any of its Subsidiaries received
from such Bank to the same extent as required by this Section.

 

(g)          Any
Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under
its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

 

    	 	57	 

     

    

 

10.08         Set-off.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers or any other Loan Party,
any such notice being waived by Borrowers (on their own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties
against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective
of whether or not any such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations
may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each
such Bank agrees to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by any such Bank; provided that, the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. This Section 10.08 is
subject to the provisions of Section 2.13. 

 

10.09         Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If any Bank shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than 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 contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10         Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

10.11         INTEGRATION;
FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, COMPRISES THE COMPLETE AND INTEGRATED AGREEMENT OF
THE PARTIES ON THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, ON SUCH SUBJECT MATTER.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND THOSE OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH A BORROWER IS A PARTY, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL; PROVIDED
THAT THE INCLUSION OF SUPPLEMENTAL RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IN FAVOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK IN ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A CONFLICT WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH LOAN DOCUMENT WAS DRAFTED WITH THE JOINT PARTICIPATION OF THE
RESPECTIVE PARTIES THERETO AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED NEITHER AGAINST NOR IN FAVOR OF ANY PARTY, BUT RATHER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
FAIR MEANING THEREOF.

10.12         Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Banks, regardless of any investigation
made by the Banks or on their behalf and notwithstanding that such Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the
time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain
unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

10.13         Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.14         Governing
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)          THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE

AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BORROWERS AND THE BANKS CONSENT, FOR THEMSELVES AND IN RESPECT OF THEIR PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. BORROWERS, THE BANKS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION

10.15         DISPUTE
RESOLUTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; ARBITRATION; RELIANCE; DAMAGES.

 

(a)          DISPUTE
RESOLUTION. THIS SECTION CONTAINS A JURY WAIVER, ARBITRATION CLAUSE, AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. READ IT CAREFULLY.

 

THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROVISION SHALL SUPERSEDE AND REPLACE ANY PRIOR “JURY WAIVER,” “JUDICIAL REFERENCE,” “CLASS ACTION
WAIVER,” “ARBITRATION,” “DISPUTE RESOLUTION,” OR SIMILAR ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE AGREEMENT OR PROVISION
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES.

 

(b)          JURY
TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL
BEFORE A JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS “DISPUTE” IS HEREINAFTER DEFINED), AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED
BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS PROVISION IS NOT ENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON AND AT ANY TIME
PRIOR TO TRIAL OF THE DISPUTE, BUT NOT LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER ENTRY OF THE ORDER DETERMINING THIS PROVISION IS UNENFORCEABLE,
ANY PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO MOVE THE COURT FOR AN ORDER COMPELLING ARBITRATION AND STAYING OR DISMISSING SUCH LITIGATION PENDING
ARBITRATION (“ARBITRATION ORDER”). IF PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE
IN COURT OR AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO
ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

 

(c)          ARBITRATION.
IF A CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY ARISES WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS, OR
ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WHETHER OR NOT RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT (ALL OF THE FOREGOING,
A “DISPUTE”), AND ONLY IF A JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR RULING BY A COURT, EITHER PARTY
MAY REQUIRE THAT THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE A DISPUTE,
EACH PARTY GIVES UP ANY RIGHT THAT PARTY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL, AS WELL AS OTHER RIGHTS THAT PARTY WOULD HAVE IN COURT THAT
ARE NOT AVAILABLE OR ARE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, SUCH AS THE RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND TO APPEAL.

 

    	 	60	 

     

    

 

ARBITRATION SHALL BE
COMMENCED BY FILING A PETITION WITH, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE ARBITRATION RULES OF, JAMS OR NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM
(“ADMINISTRATOR”) AS SELECTED BY THE INITIATING PARTY. IF THE PARTIES AGREE, ARBITRATION MAY BE COMMENCED BY APPOINTMENT
OF A LICENSED ATTORNEY WHO IS SELECTED BY THE PARTIES AND WHO AGREES TO CONDUCT THE ARBITRATION WITHOUT AN ADMINISTRATOR. DISPUTES
INCLUDE MATTERS (I) RELATING TO A DEPOSIT ACCOUNT, APPLICATION FOR OR DENIAL OF CREDIT, ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS EITHER
PARTY HAS TO THE OTHER, COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND/OR REGULATIONS, PERFORMANCE OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER ANY AGREEMENT
BY ANY PARTY, (II) BASED ON OR ARISING FROM AN ALLEGED TORT, OR (III) INVOLVING EITHER PARTY’S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES,
OR ASSIGNS. HOWEVER, DISPUTES DO NOT INCLUDE THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, MEANING, OR SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND
SUCH MATTERS MAY BE DETERMINED ONLY BY A COURT. IF A THIRD PARTY IS A PARTY TO A DISPUTE, EACH PARTY CONSENTS TO INCLUDING THE
THIRD PARTY IN THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING FOR RESOLVING THE DISPUTE WITH THE THIRD PARTY. VENUE FOR THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING
SHALL BE AT A LOCATION DETERMINED BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES OR, IF NO AGREEMENT, IN THE CITY AND STATE WHERE LENDER OR
THE BANK IS HEADQUARTERED.

 

If a court orders arbitration
of a Dispute, the party to the Dispute that did not seek the Arbitration Order shall commence arbitration. The party that sought
the Arbitration Order may commence arbitration, but shall have no obligation to do so, and shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced
by initiating or participating in litigation or electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator shall (i) hear and rule on
appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment;
(ii) render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute
or defense; (iv) enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with
regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) apply the law of the state
specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i)
seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies
including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment,
and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies
such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to
arbitration.

 

    	 	61	 

     

    

 

Judgment upon an arbitration
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall
be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including
Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned
decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal
must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within
that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de
novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the
original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator
has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.

 

Arbitration under this
provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §
1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of
this provision vary from the Administrator’s rules, this arbitration provision shall control.

 

(d)          RELIANCE.
Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class
action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement
by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section.

 

(e)          DAMAGES.
BORROWERS, EACH LOAN PARTY AND BANK, AND EACH PARTICIPANT EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED
BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH ACTION AGAINST ANOTHER PARTY, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.

 

10.16         USA
Patriot Act Notice. The Banks hereby notify the EnerJex Entities that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56) signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the EnerJex Entities, which information includes the name and
address of the EnerJex Entities and other information that will allow the Banks to identify the EnerJex Entities in accordance
with the USA Patriot Act.

 

10.17         Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

 

10.18         Amendments
or Modifications. Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Required Banks (or the Administrative Agent with the consent
in writing of the Required Banks) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding, deleting
or otherwise modifying any provisions of the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or the Borrower
hereunder or waiving any Event of Default hereunder or consenting to any departure of a EnerJex Entity therefrom; provided,
however, that:

 

(a)          no
such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Banks:

 

(i)          Extend
the final maturity of any Loan, postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan, forgive all or any portion of
the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon.

 

    	 	62	 

     

    

 

(ii)         Reduce
the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks.

 

(iii)        Reduce
the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.05, or increase the Aggregate
Loan Amount or the Loan of any Bank hereunder, or permit the Borrowers to assign their rights under this Agreement.

 

(iv)        Release
any Guarantor of any Loan or, except as provided in the Collateral Documents, release all or substantially all of the Borrower
Oil and Gas Properties.

 

(v)         Amend
this Section 10.18.

 

(b)          No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent
of the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)          If,
in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Banks but only the consent of Required Banks is obtained (any such Bank whose consent is not obtained, a “Non-Consenting
Bank”), then, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Banks and Administrative Agent, Borrowers may require such Non-Consenting
Banks to sell and assign all of their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one
or more Persons reasonably acceptable to Borrowers (after all of the consenting Banks have declined to acquire such additional
interests, rights and obligations or portion thereof), with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); provided that such Non-Consenting Banks shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal amount of their respective Loans and all accrued interest, fees and other amounts payable with respect thereto through
the date of sale. Such sale and assignment shall be consummated pursuant to executed Loan Transfer Supplements pursuant to and
in accordance with Section 10.07(c).

 

(d)          Banks
hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held
by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (x) on the date that all Obligations have been paid and discharged in full, or (y)
constituting property being sold or disposed of by any Loan Party in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document.

 

(e)          Required
Banks shall promptly provide Administrative Agent with a copy of any amendment or supplemental agreement to which Administrative
Agent is not a party.

 

    	 	63	 

     

    

 

10.19         Amendment
and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement amends, rearranges and restates the Existing Loan Agreement
in its entirety, and shall thereafter be evidenced and governed by the terms of this Agreement. The Borrowers agree that according
to their terms, Borrowers’ obligations (and the Liens granted by the Borrowers) under the Existing Collateral Documents
(as amended pursuant to the Original Borrowers Security Agreement Amendment and Supplemental Borrowers Security Agreement Amendment)
to which they are a party will continue in full force and effect to secure the Obligations.

 

10.20         Controlling
Provision Upon Conflict. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict between
the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, and in
the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Limited Guaranty and this Agreement, the provisions of the Limited Guaranty
shall control.

Bank a Transfer Effective Notice, substantially in the form of Schedule III to this Loan Transfer Supplement (a “Transfer
Effective Notice”). Such Transfer Effective Notice shall set forth, inter alia, the date on which the transfer effected
by this Loan Transfer Supplement shall become effective (the “Transfer Effective Date”), which date shall be
at least five (5) Business Days following the date of such Transfer Effective Notice. From and after the Transfer Effective Date
each Purchasing Bank shall be a Bank party to the Credit Agreement for all purposes thereof.

 

    	 	Schedule 10.07 - 1	 

     

    

 

Section
2. At or before 12:00 Noon, local time of the Transferor Bank, on the Transfer Effective Date, each Purchasing Bank shall
pay to the Transferor Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the purchase price, as agreed between the Transferor
Bank and such Purchasing Bank (the “Purchase Price”), of the portion being purchased by such Purchasing Bank
(such Purchasing Bank’s “Purchased Percentage”) of the outstanding Credit Extensions and other amounts
owing to the Transferor Bank under the Credit Agreement and the Notes. Effective upon receipt by the Transferor Bank of the Purchase
Price from a Purchasing Bank, the Transferor Bank hereby irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to such Purchasing Bank, without

(b)          All
interest, fees and other amounts that would otherwise accrue, for the account of the Transferor Bank from and after the Transfer

Note from the Transferor Bank, a new Note for each Purchasing Bank and the Transferor Bank, to the extent the Transferor Bank has

it is not already a Bank party to the Credit Agreement) conformed copies of all documents in the Transferor Bank’s possession
that were delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date in satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
the Credit Agreement.

 

Section
7. Each of the parties to this Loan Transfer Supplement agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written
request of any other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as such other
party may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Loan Transfer Supplement.

or value of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
(ii) the Transferor Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition

or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) each Purchasing Bank confirms that it has received a copy
of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.01(a), the Financial
Statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b) if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate
to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Loan Transfer Supplement; (iv) each Purchasing Bank will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Transferor Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit
Agreement; (v) each Purchasing Bank appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, all in accordance with Article VIII of the Credit
Agreement; and (vi) each Purchasing Bank agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which
by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

THIS GUARANTY (as amended, restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is executed effective as of [______________],
by the undersigned (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of CORTLAND CAPITAL MARKET SERVICES LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity the “Administrative
Agent”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           ENERJEX
KANSAS, INC. (f/k/a Midwest Energy, Inc.), a Nevada corporation , BLACK RAVEN ENERGY, INC., a Nevada corporation,
WORKING INTEREST, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, ADENA, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, KANSAS
HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and BLACK SABLE ENERGY, LLC, a Texas limited liability company 
(collectively, “Borrowers”), Administrative Agent and the Banks have entered into that certain
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May [__], 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), together with certain other Loan Documents (as defined in the
Credit Agreement).

 

B.           Guarantor
is a Subsidiary of [______________________], and has agreed to enter into this Guaranty so that Borrowers can continue to receive
the benefits of and accommodations under the Credit Agreement.

 

C.           It
is expressly understood among Borrowers, Guarantor, and Administrative Agent that the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is
a condition precedent to the Banks’ obligation to extend credit or permit the ongoing extension of credit under the Credit
Agreement.

 

D.           Guarantor
may reasonably be expected to benefit directly or indirectly from Borrowers’ execution of the Credit Agreement.

 

AGREEMENTS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

1.          Definitions.
Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given that term in the Credit Agreement. The
following terms shall have the following meanings as used in this Guaranty:

 

“Borrowers”
has the meaning given in Recital A and includes, without limitation, all of Borrowers’ successors and permitted assigns,
any Borrower as a debtor-in-possession, and any receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or similar party hereafter
appointed for any Borrower or for all or any portion of any Borrower’s assets pursuant to any liquidation, conservatorship,
bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar Debtor Relief Law from time to time
in effect.

 

     

     

    

 

“Company
Indebtedness” means all obligations of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Guarantor, whether direct, indirect,
fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, now existing or arising after the date of this
Guaranty, due or to become due to Guarantor, or held or to be held by Guarantor, whether created directly or acquired by assignment
or otherwise, and whether or not evidenced by written instrument including the obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as a subrogee
of the Administrative Agent or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty.

 

“Guaranteed
Obligations” means the Obligations including, without limitation, interest accruing before and after maturity, before
and after an Event of Default, and during the pendency of any bankruptcy, receivership insolvency or other similar proceeding under
any applicable Debtor Relief Law (regardless whether such interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any and all costs and Attorney
Costs incurred by Administrative Agent (a) in connection with any waiver, amendment, consent or default under the Loan Documents,
or (b) to enforce Borrowers’, Guarantor’s, or any other obligor’s payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

“Paid
in Full” or “Payment in Full” means that the Guaranteed Obligations are completely
paid in full (including principal, interest, fees and expenses).

 

2.          Guaranty.

 

(a)          Guarantor
hereby guarantees to Administrative Agent and the Banks prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due (at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) and at all times thereafter.

 

(b)          Upon
Administrative Agent’s written demand after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall promptly
pay to Administrative Agent any amount due under this Guaranty (in no event may such payment be delivered to Administrative Agent
later than 3 days after the date of Administrative Agent’s written demand).

 

(c)          This
is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment (and not of collection) of the Guaranteed Obligations
and the other amounts due under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty will remain in effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are Paid
in Full. The circumstance that at any time or from time to time all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations may be $0 (or
may have been paid in full) shall not affect Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty. Guarantor may not rescind or revoke
its obligations to Administrative Agent under this Guaranty.

 

(d)          All
amounts in cash received by Administrative Agent under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be applied
to the Obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

    	2 

     

    

 

3.          Default
by Borrowers. If an Event of Default exists, Guarantor shall pay to Administrative Agent, any and all amounts then due and
payable under this Guaranty on demand and without (a) further notice of dishonor, to Guarantor, (b) any prior notice to Guarantor
of the acceptance by Administrative Agent of this Guaranty, (c) any notice having been given to Guarantor prior to such demand
of the creating or incurring of such Indebtedness, or (d) notice of intent to accelerate or notice of acceleration to Guarantor
or Borrowers. To enforce such payment by Guarantor it shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent to first or contemporaneously
institute suit or exhaust remedies against any Borrower or others liable on such Indebtedness, or to enforce rights against any
security or collateral ever given to secure such Indebtedness.

 

4.          Amount
of Guaranty and Consideration. The Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ books and records showing the amount of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and
conclusive for the purpose of establishing such amounts, absent manifest error. In consummating the transactions contemplated by
this Guaranty, Guarantor does not intend to disturb, delay, hinder, or defraud either its present or future creditors. Guarantor
is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of each Borrower and is familiar
with the value of the security and support for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Based upon such examination,
and taking into account the fairly discounted value of Guarantor’s contingent obligations under this Guaranty and the value
of the subrogation and contribution claims Guarantor could make in connection with this Guaranty, and assuming each of the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement is consummated and Borrowers make full use of the credit facilities thereunder, the present
realizable fair market value of the assets of Guarantor exceeds the total obligations of Guarantor, and Guarantor is able to realize
upon its assets and pay its obligations as such obligations mature in the normal course of business. Guarantor represents and warrants
to Administrative Agent that the value of consideration received and to be received by Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as
much as its liability under this Guaranty, and such liability may reasonably be expected to benefit Guarantor, directly or indirectly.

 

5.          Liability
for Other Indebtedness of Borrowers. If, and only if, Guarantor becomes liable for any Indebtedness owing by Borrowers to Administrative
Agent or Banks by executing a promissory note or guaranty, by endorsement, or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability
shall not be impaired or affected by this Guaranty and the rights of Administrative Agent under this Guaranty shall be cumulative
of any and all other rights that Administrative Agent may ever have against Guarantor.

 

6.          Subordination.
Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates all Company Indebtedness to the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor
agrees not to receive or accept any payment from any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Company Indebtedness
at any time an Event of Default exists and, in the event Guarantor receives any payment on the Company Indebtedness in violation
of the foregoing, Guarantor shall hold any such payment in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and promptly turn it over
to Administrative Agent, in the form received (with any necessary endorsements), to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

    	3 

     

    

 

7.          Subrogation.
Until the Guaranteed Obligations are Paid In Full, Guarantor agrees that it will not assert, enforce, or otherwise exercise (a)
any right of subrogation to any of the rights or Liens of Administrative Agent or any other beneficiary against any Borrower, any
of its Subsidiaries, or any other obligor on the Guaranteed Obligations or any Collateral or other security, or (b) any right of
recourse, reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification, or similar right against any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries,
or any other obligor or other guarantor on all or any part of the amounts due under this Guaranty (whether such rights in clause
(a) or clause (b) arise in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law, or otherwise).

 

8.          Enforceability
of Guaranty; No Release.

 

(a)          This
Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
instrument or agreement evidencing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection,
or extent of any Collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations
which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

(b)          Guarantor
agrees that the Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, and without notice to Guarantor, make any agreement
with the Borrowers or with any other Person liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations or providing collateral as security for
the Guaranteed Obligations, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any Collateral (in whole or in part), or for any modification or amendment of the terms thereof or of any instrument or agreement
evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations or the provision of Collateral, all without in any way impairing, releasing, discharging
or otherwise affecting the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, except that Guarantor’s obligation hereunder shall
not exceed the amount of its obligation contemplated hereunder as a result of such modification or amendment.

 

(c)          Guarantor
hereby agrees its obligations under the terms of this Guaranty shall not be released, discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced
or otherwise adversely affected by any of the following: (i) Administrative Agent’s taking or accepting of any other security
or guaranty for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination or loss of any security
at any time existing in connection with any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any full or partial release of the liability
of any other obligor on the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the insolvency, becoming subject to any Debtor Relief Law, or lack of
Corporate Power of any Borrower, or any party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v)
any renewal, extension or rearrangement of the payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, either with or without notice

under this Guaranty, (viii) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is ultra vires, or
the officers creating same exceeded their authority or violated their fiduciary duties in connection therewith; (ix) any payment

9.          Exercise
of Rights and Waiver.

 

(a)          No
failure by Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate
as a waiver thereof. The exercise by Administrative Agent of any right or remedy under this Guaranty under the Loan Documents,
or other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
The remedies provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law or in equity. The unenforceability
or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.

 

(b)          The
obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the
Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor waives diligence by Administrative Agent and action on delinquency in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any provisions of Laws requiring Administrative Agent to exhaust any
right or remedy or to take any action against any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any other guarantor or any other Person before
enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives all rights by which it might be entitled to require suit on
an accrued right of action in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or require suit against Borrowers or others, whether
arising pursuant to Section 34.02 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended (regarding a Guarantor’s right to require
Administrative Agent to sue a Borrower on accrued right of action following a Guarantor’s written notice to Administrative
Agent), Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended (allowing suit against a Guarantor without suit
against a Borrower, but precluding entry of judgment against a Guarantor prior to entry of judgment against a Borrower), Rule 31
of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended (requiring Administrative Agent to join any Borrower in any suit against a Guarantor
unless judgment has been previously entered against a Borrower), or otherwise.

 

    	5 

     

    

 

(c)          Guarantor
waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of any loan to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment,
protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any loan, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of any
suit or notice of the taking of other action by Administrative Agent against Borrowers, Guarantor or any other Person and any notice
to any party liable thereon (including Guarantor).

 

10.         Stay
of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by
such Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent.

 

11.         Expenses.
Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorneys Costs of Administrative Agent) in any
way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Guaranty, including any incurred
in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent in any case commenced by or against Guarantor
under Title 11, United States Code or any similar or successor statute. The obligations of Guarantor under the preceding sentence
shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 

12.         Amendments.
No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Administrative
Agent and Guarantor.

 

13.         Reliance
and Duty to Remain Informed. Guarantor confirms that it has executed and delivered this Guaranty after reviewing the terms
and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such other information as it has deemed appropriate in
order to make its own credit analysis and decision to execute and deliver this Guaranty. Guarantor confirms that it has made its
own independent investigation with respect to each Borrower’s creditworthiness and is not executing and delivering this Guaranty
in reliance on any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent as to such creditworthiness. Guarantor expressly assumes
all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of each Borrower and any circumstances affecting (a) Borrowers’
ability to perform under the Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party or (b) any Collateral securing all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

14.         Change
in Guarantor’s Status. Should Guarantor become insolvent, or fail to pay its debts generally as they become due, or voluntarily
seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the benefit or benefits of any Debtor Relief Law or become a party to (or be made the subject
of) any proceeding provided for by any Debtor Relief Law (other than as a creditor or claimant) that could suspend or otherwise
adversely affect the rights of Administrative Agent granted under this Guaranty, then, in any such event, the Guaranteed Obligations
shall be, as between Guarantor and Administrative Agent, a fully matured, due, and payable obligation of Guarantor to Administrative
Agent (without regard to whether a Borrower is then in Default or whether the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof is then
due and owing by a Borrower to Administrative Agent), payable in full by such Guarantor to Administrative Agent upon demand, which
shall be the estimated amount owing in respect of the contingent claim created under this Guaranty.

 

    	6 

     

    

 

15.         Representations
and Warranties. Guarantor acknowledges that certain representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are in
respect of Guarantor, and Guarantor reaffirms that each such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects.
Guarantor further represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under
the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) it has all requisite Corporate Power and authority and all requisite governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver, and
perform its obligations under this Guaranty, except to the extent the failure to have such governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) the execution, delivery and performance
of this Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary Corporate Action, and do not and will not (i) contravene the terms of
any of its Governing Documentation, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien
on any of its assets, except to the extent such conflict could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
(iii) violate any Law, except to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
(d) no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority
or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against,
Guarantor, except to the extent that the failure to obtain any such approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action
by, to provide any such notice to, or to make any such filing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
and (e) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and it creates a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of equity.

 

16.         Covenants.
Guarantor acknowledges that certain covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement are in respect of it or shall be imposed upon it,
and Guarantor covenants and agrees to promptly and properly perform, observe, and comply with each such covenant.

 

17.         Offset
Claims. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be reduced, discharged or released
because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense (except for the defense of Payment in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations) of any Borrower, Guarantor or any other party against Administrative Agent or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether such offset, claim, or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Such claims and defenses
(including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute
of limitations, lender liability, accord and satisfaction, and usury) are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor.

 

18.         Setoff.
If and to the extent any payment is not made when due under this Guaranty, Administrative Agent may setoff and charge from time
to time any amounts so due against any or all of Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with Administrative Agent.

 

    	7 

     

    

 

19.         Binding
Agreement. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. Guarantor acknowledges
that in the event of an assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the
rights and benefits under this Guaranty, to the extent applicable to the Indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such
Indebtedness. This Guaranty is binding on Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns, provided that Guarantor may
not assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (and any attempted
assignment without such consent shall be void).

 

20.         Notices.

be, be given in the same manner as notice is given under the Credit Agreement as follows:

a Delaware limited liability company, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”), and the several banks and financial institutions from time to time parties
to the Credit Agreement (the “Banks,”). Each of the undersigned (each a “New Borrower”
and collectively, the “New Borrowers”) hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, the Banks and
the Borrowers as follows:

 

1.          In
accordance with Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement, each New Borrower hereby (a) joins the Credit Agreement as a party thereto
and shall have all the rights of a Borrower and assumes all the obligations of a Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to which the other Borrowers are a party, (b) agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement or such
other Loan Documents as if the New Borrower had been an original party to the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Documents, and

executed and delivered by it by all requisite Corporate Action and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable

any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Credit Agreement
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision hereof

AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE

 

	$4,500,000.00	May 10, 2017

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ENERJEX
KANSAS, INC., BLACK RAVEN ENERGY, INC., WORKING INTEREST, LLC, ADENA, LLC, KANSAS HOLDINGS, LLC and BLACK SABLE ENERGY, LLC (collectively,
“Borrowers”), jointly and severally, hereby promise to pay to the order of PASS CREEK RESOURCES LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns (“Bank”), in accordance with the provisions
of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined) the principal amount of FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,500,000.00)
or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, extended, or supplemented
from time to time, the “Agreement”), among Borrowers, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Administrative Agent
and the Banks party thereto from time to time. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings given them
in the Agreement.

 

Borrowers promise to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan evidenced by this Note from the date of such Loan until such principal amount
is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest
shall be made to Bank in Dollars in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Lending Office. If any amount is
not paid in full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof
until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set out in the Agreement.

 

This Note is the “Note”
referred to in the Agreement and may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to the terms and conditions provided therein. This
Note is also entitled to the benefits of and is secured by the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or more
of the Events of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared
to be, immediately due and payable all as provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Agreement. Loans made by
Bank shall be evidenced by one or more Loan accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.
Bank may also attach schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

 

This Note is issued as
a renewal, extension and modification of, but not a novation of, or an accord and satisfaction of, all notes issued and outstanding
under the Existing Loan Agreement (together, the "Prior Notes"), provided that this Note supersedes
and replaces the Prior Notes, and all obligations of the Borrowers and their affiliates under the Prior Notes, in their entirety,
such that no Borrower, affiliate of a Borrower, or any other Person shall have any obligations under any of the Prior Notes.

 

     

     

    

  

Borrowers, for themselves,
and their respective successors and assigns, hereby waive diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand,
dishonor and non-payment of this Note.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
