	 	RE:	 	Revolving Line of Credit Loan in the amount of $20,000,000.00 to be advanced by
Western National Bank to Dawson Geophysical Company

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the terms of a letter loan agreement, dated as of June 2, 2009 (the “Existing Loan
Agreement”), Western National Bank, a national banking association (alternatively, “Western” the
“Lender”, or the “Bank”), has previously committed to provide to Dawson Geophysical Company, a
Texas corporation (alternatively, “Dawson Geophysical” or the “Borrower”), a revolving line of
credit loan in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (the
Existing Loan”). The Existing Loan is evidenced by that certain Revolving Line of Credit Note,
also dated as of June 2, 2009, in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/100
Dollars ($20,000,000.00), executed by the Borrower, as Maker, in favor of the Bank, as Payee, (the
“Existing Note”). The Existing Note is secured by that certain Security Agreement, also dated as
of June 2, 2009, executed by Borrower, covering those accounts receivable and other items of
collateral described therein (the “Existing Security Agreement”). The Bank’s has perfected the
security interest created under the Existing Security Agreement by filing a financing statement
(the “Existing Financing Statement”). From time to time, the Existing Security Agreement and the
Existing Financing Statement may be collectively referred to herein as the “Existing Security
Instruments”.

Borrower has now requested that Western renew and extend the Existing Loan into a new revolving
line of credit loan in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars
($20,000,000.00) (the “Loan”). The Loan will be evidenced by that certain Revolving Line of Credit
Note, of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars
($20,000,000.00), executed by the Borrower, as Maker, in favor of Western, as Payee (the “Note”).
The Borrower’s performance under the Note will be secured by its execution of a new Security
Agreement, of even date herewith, the security interest of which will

1

 

be perfected by the filing of amendments to the existing financing statement, covering all accounts
receivable and equipment described therein (collectively, the “Security Instruments”). This
Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments, and any other documents executed simultaneously
herewith are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

Western has agreed to renew the Existing Loan into the Loan. In consideration of Western’s
agreement to renew the Existing Loan into the Loan, Borrower has agreed to execute this Loan
Agreement, the Note, and the Security Instruments required by the Bank. In addition to Borrower’s
execution of these documents, the Bank’s obligation to advance the Loan to the Borrower shall be
subject to the fulfillment of the following terms and conditions of this letter loan agreement (the
“Agreement”):

I. TERMS

Agreement

This Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2011, and any extensions, renewals, or modifications hereof.

Borrower

Dawson Geophysical Company

Bank

Western National Bank

Commitment

The lesser of the following amounts: (a) the face amount of the Note; or (b) the Borrowing Base
then in effect.

Rate

From June 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, interest under the Note shall accrue at an annual rate
equal to the “Prime Rate”, as defined below, minus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) (the
“Prime Rate Index”). Beginning as of July 1, 2011, interest under the Note shall accrue at an
annual rate equal to either: (a) the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus two and
one-quarter percentage points (2.25%), or (b) the Prime Rate Index, as the Borrower shall choose
monthly by notifying the Bank in writing, via facsimile or e-mail, by the last day of each month,
with each change to be effective as of the first day of the following month, provided that such
interest rate shall not exceed the “Highest Lawful Rate”, as defined in the Note, or be less than
four percent (4.0%). Should Borrower fail to notify Bank of its election of interest rate for any
given month, the interest rate shall remain at the interest rate index chosen by Borrower for the
month immediately preceding.

2

 

For purposes of this Agreement, LIBOR shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period, as defined
below, the rate as established as the 30-day LIBOR in the money rate table of The Wall Street
Journal, a Dow Jones publication, as of each Business Day, as defined below (and for holidays or
weekends, LIBOR shall be the 30-day LIBOR published in that money rate table of The Wall Street
Journal, as of the close of business on the most recent Business Day immediately preceding such
weekend or holiday). Without notice to the Borrowers or any other person, LIBOR may change from
time to time pursuant to the preceding sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the
effective date reflected in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal. Without notice to the
Borrowers or any other person, LIBOR may change from time to time pursuant to the preceding
sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the effective date reflected in the money
rate table of The Wall Street Journal. Each change in LIBOR to be charged on the Note will become
effective without notice on the commencement of each Interest Period based upon the Index then in
effect. “Interest Period” means each consecutive one month period (the first of which shall
commence on June 1, 2011), effective as of the first day of each Interest Period and ending on the
last day of each Interest Period, provided that if any Interest Period is scheduled to end on a
date for which there is no numerical equivalent to the date on which the Interest Period commenced,
then it shall end instead on the last day of such calendar month.

Also for purposes of this Agreement, the “Prime Rate” shall be defined as that rate established as
the prime rate in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, a Dow Jones publication, as of
each Business Day, as hereinafter defined, (and for holidays or weekends, the Prime Rate shall be
the prime rate published in that money rate table of The Wall Street Journal, as of the close of
business on the most recent Business Day immediately preceding such weekend or holiday). Without
notice to the Borrower or any other person, the Prime Rate may change from time to time pursuant to
the preceding sentence, with the effective date of each change to be the effective date reflected
in the money rate table of The Wall Street Journal. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does
not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer. The Bank may
make commercial loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above, or below the Prime Rate.

The term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for
commercial banks under the laws of the State of Texas.

Security

The Loan shall be secured by the Security Instruments.

Structure

Under the Note, funds will be available on a revolving basis through June 2, 2013, the maturity
date of the Loan (the “Revolving Period”). During the Revolving Period, the Borrower may borrow,
repay, and re-borrow funds as long as the aggregate amount (including outstanding letters of
credit) does not exceed the Commitment.

3

 

Borrowing Base

At any time, and from time to time, the amounts outstanding under the Note shall not exceed the
lesser of: (a) the face amount of the Note; or (b) the Borrowing Base, as determined from time to
time by the Bank, acting in its sole and unlimited discretion (said lesser amount being referred to
herein as the “Commitment”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Borrowing Base” shall mean an
amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Eligible Account” shall mean an account receivable of
the Borrower (net of any credit balance, trade discount, or unbilled amount or retention) that is
contractually due, for which each of the following statements is accurate and complete (and the
Borrower, by including such account receivable in any computation of the Borrowing Base, shall be
deemed to represent and warrant to the Bank the accuracy and completeness of such statements):

	 	a.	 	Said account receivable is a binding and valid obligation of the obligor
thereon, in full force and effect, and enforceable in accordance with its terms;
	 
	 	b.	 	Said account receivable is genuine, in all respects, as appearing on its face
as represented in the books and records of Borrower, and all information set forth
therein is true and correct;
	 
	 	c.	 	Said account receivable is free of all default of any party thereto,
counterclaims, offsets, and defenses, and from any rescission, cancellation, or
avoidance, and all right thereof, whether by operation of law or otherwise;
	 
	 	d.	 	The payment of said account receivable is not more than ninety (90) days past
due the invoice date thereof;
	 
	 	e.	 	Said account receivable is free of concessions or understandings with the
obligor thereon of any kind not disclosed to and approved by the Bank in writing;
	 
	 	f.	 	Said account receivable is, and at all times will be, free and clear of all
liens except those in favor of the Bank;
	 
	 	g.	 	Said account receivable is not a receivable arising from intercompany
indebtedness existing between or among any of the Borrower;
	 
	 	h.	 	Said account receivable is derived from sales made or services rendered to the
obligor in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower;
	 
	 	i.	 	The obligor on said account receivable (i) is located within the United States
or the District of Columbia; (ii) is not the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, nor has a trustee or receiver been appointed for all or a substantial part
of its property, nor has said obligor made an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
admitted its inability to pay its debts as they mature or suspended its

4

 

	 	 	 	business, (iii) is not affiliated, directly or indirectly, with Borrower, as a
subsidiary or affiliate, employee or otherwise; and (iv) is not a state or federal
government department, commission, board, bureau, or agency;

	 	j.	 	Said account receivable is not owed by a customer whose principal place of
business is located in a foreign country; and
	 
	 	k.	 	Said account receivable did not arise from sales to an obligor as to whom
fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total accounts receivable owing by such obligor to
the Borrower are delinquent accounts receivable (that is, an account that is more than
ninety (90) days delinquent).

In addition to the criteria stated above for determining whether an account receivable is an
“Eligible Account”, the Bank and the Borrower agree that no such account receivable shall
constitute an Eligible Account if that account receivable arises from any single customer, other
than Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively,
“Chesapeake”) or Devon Energy Group and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Devon”),
whose accounts receivable constitute more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s total
accounts receivable. The Bank agrees that an account receivable owed by Chesapeake to the Borrower
(collectively, the “Chesapeake Accounts”) and, likewise, an account receivable owed by Devon to the
Borrower (collectively, the “Devon Accounts”) may still qualify as an Eligible Account even if the
either set of such Eligible Accounts constitutes more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower’s
total accounts receivable.

Based upon the terms of this Agreement, and the information provided and the representations made
by the Borrower to the Bank, the Bank hereby redetermines the Borrowing Base, and establishes it in
the amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). The Borrower may request in
writing an additional increase in the Borrowing Base, such request to be accompanied by a
description and evaluation of any additional collateral to be provided by the Bank. The Bank may
evaluate such for an increase in its sole and absolute discretion, and in conjunction with such
evaluation, may conduct a full credit analysis of the Borrower and the existing or additional
collateral.

If the aggregate amounts outstanding under the Note exceeds the Commitment at any time, the Bank
will provide written notice of that event to Borrower. On or before the tenth (10th)
day following Borrower’s receipt of such notification, Borrower will either, at the direction of
the Bank, acting in its sole and absolute discretion: (a) make a mandatory payment to the Bank of
the principal of the Note in an amount at least equal to the amount necessary to cause the
outstanding principal balance of the Note to be less than or equal to the Commitment; or (b)
create liens on other assets of Borrower, satisfactory in nature, quantity, and value to the Bank,
acting in its sole discretion, said assets to have a fair market value sufficient to at least equal
to the amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal balance of the Note to be less than or
equal to the Commitment.

Non-Recourse

Although the Borrower is responsible on a corporate basis for the full repayment of principal and
interest due on the Obligations and for any other Event of Default for which the Borrower is
responsible, the Bank specifically acknowledges and agrees that neither any of the directors,
officers, or employees of the Borrower nor any of the Borrower’s shareholders shall have any
personal liability whatsoever for the repayment of the Loan. The sole party responsible for
repayment of the Loan shall be the Borrower, and the sole security for the Loan shall be the
Collateral covered by the Security Instruments.

Purpose

Funds from the Loan shall be to renew and extend the Existing Loan and to provide additional funds
for working capital. No proceeds from the Loan shall be used for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying margin stock in violation of Regulations G, U, or X of the Board of Governors of the

right, power, or remedy under this Agreement, the Note or any other contract or instrument on which
the Borrower may at any time be obligated to the Bank (or any holder thereof) will affect
