AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. 
 2. Amendments to Loan
Agreement. 
 2.1 Section 2.1.2 (Term Loan). New Section 2.1.2 hereby is added to the Loan Agreement to
read as follows: 
 “2.1.2 Term Loan. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the First Amendment Effective Date, or
as soon thereafter as all conditions precedent to the making thereof have been met, Bank shall make a Term Loan to Borrower in the principal amount of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000). The proceeds of the Term Loan shall
be used for general corporate purposes. 

 (b) Repayment. The Term Loan shall be “interest only”
through September 28, 2013 with interest payable in accordance with Section 2.1.2(h) below. Thereafter, beginning on October 28, 2013 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall repay the Term Loan in
thirty (30) equal monthly payments of principal and interest (each, a “Term Loan Payment”). Borrower’s final Term Loan Payment, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and
unpaid interest under the Term Loan and the Final Payment. Once repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. 

(c) Prepayment. 
 (i) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Term Loan is accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an
amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the Final Payment and (iii) all other sums that shall have become due and payable hereunder in connection with the Term Loan.

 (ii) Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay without premium or penalty all, but
not less than all, of the Term Loan made by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Loan at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on
the date of such prepayment (a) all outstanding principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (b) the Final Payment and (c) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable hereunder in connection with the Term Loan.

 (d) Interest on the Term Loan. Subject to Section 2.1.2(e), the principal amount outstanding on
the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to six percent (6.00%) which interest shall be payable monthly. 
 (e) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points
(5.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Term Loan Default Rate”) unless the Bank otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are
required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Term Loan. Payment or
acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.1.2(e) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of
Bank. 

  
 2 

 (f) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest for the Term
Loan, the Funding Date shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if the Term Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Term Loan. Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (g) Debit of
Accounts. For each Term Loan Payment, Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not
constitute a set-off. 
 (h) Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly
on the first calendar day of each month. 
 (i) Payments; Application of Payments. 

(i) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower in connection with the Term Loan under any Loan Document
shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received
at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

 (ii) Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply
any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement in connection with the Term Loan when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.” 

2.2 Section 6.5 (Accounts). Section 6.5(a) is amended in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“(a) To permit Bank to monitor Borrower’s financial performance and condition, Borrower shall (i) maintain

 SPECIALTY FINANCE DIVISION 

Compliance Certificate 
 I, an authorized officer of AXESSTEL, INC.(“Borrower”) certify under the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Agreement”) between Borrower and Silicon Valley Bank
(“Bank”) as follows for the period ending                      (all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in this
Agreement): 
 Borrower represents and warrants for each Financed Receivable: 

Each Financed Receivable is an Eligible Account or represents Eligible On The Water Inventory; 

Borrower is the owner with legal right to sell, transfer, assign and encumber such Financed Receivable; 

The correct amount is on the Invoice Transmittal and is not disputed; 

Payment is not contingent on any obligation or contract and Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations as of the Invoice Transmittal
date; 
 Each Financed Receivable is based on an actual sale and delivery of goods and/or services rendered, is due to Borrower,
is not past due or in default, has not been previously sold, assigned, transferred, or pledged and is free of any liens, security interests and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens; 

There are no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or agreements for which the Account Debtor may claim any deduction or discount; 

Borrower reasonably believes no Account Debtor is insolvent or subject to any Insolvency Proceedings; 

Borrower has not filed or had filed against it Insolvency Proceedings and does not anticipate any filing; 

Bank has the right to endorse and/ or require Borrower to endorse all payments received on Financed Receivables and all proceeds of
Collateral. 
 No representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank
with respect to any Financed Receivable contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in the certificates or statement not misleading. 

Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows: 
 Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly
authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default under any
agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 

 Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. 

Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all
material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. None of Borrower’s or any
Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than
legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each
Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted except where the
failure to obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. 
 The undersigned acknowledges that no borrowings may be requested at any time or date of determination that Borrower is not in compliance with any of the terms of the Agreement, and that compliance is
determined not just at the date this certificate is delivered.
