4.                 
Prior Assignment. It is expressly agreed that the amounts assigned to Lender as collateral for the Loan pursuant
to Section 3 of the Prior Assignment shall constitute Net Sales Proceeds under this Agreement (and thus shall constitute part of

need not be paid to Lender if Pledgor reinvests such Net Sale Proceeds in one or more Properties or other assets within three hundred
sixty-five (365) days after the date of this Agreement (or such longer period of time as may be approved in writing by Lender).

 

5.                 
Delivery of Pledged Collateral. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral
shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Lender pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery,

Representations and Warranties of Pledgor. Pledgor represents and warrants that as of the date hereof:

 

(a)               
This Agreement constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

 

(b)              
The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid first lien and
a first perfected security interest in the Pledged Collateral, subject to no prior pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security
interest, charge, option or encumbrance or to any agreement to grant to any third party a security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

 

9.                 
Covenant of Pledgor. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend Lender’s right, title and security interest
in and to the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims of all persons.

 

10.             
Default. In the event that Pledgor fails to perform any of its Obligations or comply with the covenants under the
terms of this Agreement or the Note (each such failure, an “Event of Default”), and Pledgor fails to cure such
Event of Default after fifteen (15) days written notice by Lender to Pledgor of such Event of Default, Lender shall have the rights
and remedies provided in the Uniform Commercial Code in force in the State of Texas.

 

11.             
Waivers. Pledgor assents to any extension or waiver of any obligation of Pledgor secured hereby. Lender shall have
no duty with respect to the preservation or protection of the Pledged Collateral or any income thereof or the preservation or protection
of any rights against other parties with respect thereto. Lender may exercise any rights it may have hereunder against Pledgor
or the Pledged Collateral, after having given notice to Pledgor, whether or not it has given any other party any notice or otherwise
taken any action against any other party or assets for the enforcement of such rights. No waiver or modification of any of the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon Lender unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative thereof, and no
waiver by Lender of any right it may have hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other rights it may have. All rights and remedies
of Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

of Pledgor.

2.4           Letters
of Credit.

 

2.4.1           Letter
of Credit Subfacility. Until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 and subject to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may request Bank to issue one or more of its standard standby letters of credit (“Standby
Letter of Credit”) or its standard commercial letters of credit (“Commercial Letter of Credit”) in
favor of such beneficiary(ies) as are designated by Borrowers by delivering to Bank: (i) a Letter of Credit Application completed
to the satisfaction of Bank, together with the proposed form of the Letter of Credit (which, in all respects, will comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 2.4.2), (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate which calculates the Letter of Credit Availability
by giving effect to the proposed Letter of Credit, and (iii) such other Letter of Credit Documents that Bank then requires. Bank,
in addition to the other terms of this Agreement, will have no obligation to issue the proposed Letter of Credit if, after giving
effect to the proposed Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Availability will be less than zero Dollars. The making of each Letter
of Credit request by any Borrower will be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued
in accordance with, and will not violate the terms of, this Section 2.4.1.

 

2.4.2           Terms
of Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement will, among other things, (i) be in such form requested
by Borrowers as is acceptable to Bank in its discretion exercised in good faith, (ii) be denominated in Dollars, and (iii) be issued
to support a Borrower’s obligations that finance its business needs incurred in the ordinary course of such Borrower’s
business as presently conducted by it. In no event will any Standby Letter of Credit have a term of more than one year (provided
that this limitation shall not preclude Bank from issuing “evergreen” Standby Letters of Credit) or any Commercial
Letter of Credit have a term of more than 180 days; furthermore, and, in addition to the foregoing term limitation, Bank will have
no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit with an expiry date later than the earlier of (a) the first day of the calendar month
that ends immediately prior to the Stated Maturity Date or (b) such earlier termination date of this Agreement which has resulted
from the delivery to Bank by Borrower of a Termination Notice as provided in Section 11.2.

 

2.4.3           Advice
of Issuance or Non-Issuance. Upon receipt of a request from Borrowers to open any Letter of Credit and of all attendant Letter
of Credit Documents satisfactorily completed, Bank may either (i) issue the requested Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof
and transmit a copy to Borrowers, or (ii) elect, in its discretion exercised in good faith, not to issue the proposed Letter of
Credit. If Bank elects not to issue such Letter of Credit, Bank will communicate in writing to Borrowers the reason(s) why Bank
has declined such request.

 

2.4.4           Payment
of Drafts. All obligations of Borrowers (or any one or more of them) under each Letter of Credit and all Letter of Credit Documents
are payable on Bank’s demand or payable as otherwise set forth in the applicable Letter of Credit Documents. Subject to the
terms of Section 13.3, each Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs Bank, on the same Business Day that Bank is obligated
to fund a drawing or make any expenditure or any other payment under a Letter of Credit or incurs any cost or expense under any
Letter of Credit, to reimburse Bank for any drawing, expenditure or other payment made, or cost or expense incurred, by Bank debiting
any Borrower’s loan account with Bank as an advance of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 as a LIBOR Rate
Loan. If the advance of a Revolving Loan to reimburse Bank for any drawing, expenditure or other payment made, or cost or expense
incurred, by Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit results (or to the extent that it results) in any Deficiency, then Borrowers
will immediately eliminate any Deficiency in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5.

 

2.4.5           Letter
of Credit Obligations. All Letter of Credit Obligations will constitute part of the Obligations and be secured by the Loan
Collateral.

 

2.5           No
Deficiency. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Bank shall not be obligated to make any Loan, any advance
of credit or issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such Loan, advance or Letter of Credit, a Deficiency would occur.
If, as at any time, a Deficiency occurs, Borrowers shall immediately, without demand or notice, reduce the then outstanding balance
of the Loans so that such Deficiency shall no longer exist; however, if such Deficiency was caused solely by the good faith
exercise of Bank’s discretion under Section 2.9.1, Borrowers shall, within 5 Business Days after the occurrence of
such Deficiency, reduce the then outstanding balance of the Loans so that such Deficiency shall no longer exist.

 

2.6           Disbursement
of Revolving Loans; Treasury Management.

 

(i)          Borrowers
have established one or more checking accounts (each a “Checking Account” and, collectively, the “Checking
Accounts”) with Bank. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank may make each advance of the Revolving
Loans by crediting the amount thereof, at Bank’s sole option, (i) to any Checking Account or (ii) to a non-interest bearing
controlled disbursement account maintained by Borrowers at Bank in accordance with Bank’s policies and procedures.

(ii)         Borrowers
have established through Bank, and will continue the use of, one or more post office boxes at the U.S. Post Office bearing the
address or addresses as Bank may notify Borrowers from time to time (each a “Locked Box” and, collectively,
the “Locked Boxes”). Borrowers hereby authorize Bank to, from time to time, without further notice, request,
demand or confirmation to, of or by any Borrower and in accordance with Bank's automatic sweep program, (a) retrieve all Remittances
and other proceeds of Receivables and other Loan Collateral from the Locked Boxes and (b) upon such retrieval, deposit such Remittances
and other proceeds into one or more collection, non-interest bearing DDA depository accounts maintained at Bank for Borrowers in
accordance with this Agreement and Bank’s policies and procedures (each a “Cash Collateral Account” and,
collectively, the “Cash Collateral Accounts”).

 

(iii)        For
those of Borrowers’ customers and account debtors which forward their cash, checks, and other means of payment (“Remittances”)
in paper form to Borrowers, Borrowers will notify those customers and account debtors to forward all of their Remittances to a
Locked Box (such notices to be in such form and substance as Bank may require from time to time). Borrowers will notify all of
their customers and account debtors, which pay their Receivables by electronic funds transfer, to forward all Remittances directly
to a Cash Collateral Account by wire transfer or automated clearinghouse funds transfer (ACH) (such notices to be in such form
and substance as Bank may reasonably require from time to time). If Borrowers should neglect or refuse to notify any such customer
or account debtor to pay any Remittance to Borrowers’ Locked Box or Cash Collateral Account, Bank will be entitled to make
such notification.

 

(iv)        Each
Business Day Bank will automatically and without notice, request or demand by any Borrower, in accordance with Bank’s automatic
sweep program and other policies and procedures, transfer all collected and available funds in the Cash Collateral Account(s) for
application against the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans. Bank will have sole access to the Locked Boxes and the
Cash Collateral Accounts at all times until the Payment in Full of the Obligations, and Borrowers will take all action necessary
to grant Bank such sole access. The Cash Collateral Accounts and any other accounts Bank sets up on behalf of or in any Borrower’s
name in connection with the provisions of this Section 2.6 will be subject only to the signing authority designated from
time to time by Bank, and Borrowers shall have no interest therein or control over such deposits or funds therein and Bank shall
have full access and control over all of such accounts. Until the Payment in Full of the Obligations, at no time will any Borrower
remove any item from any Locked Box or Cash Collateral Account without Bank’s prior written consent, and Borrowers will not
notify any customer or account debtor to pay any Remittance to any other place or address without Bank’s prior written consent.
Any Remittance or other proceeds of Receivables or other Loan Collateral received by any Borrower shall be deemed held by such
Borrower in trust and as fiduciary for Bank, and Borrowers immediately shall deliver the same, in its original form, to Bank by
overnight delivery for deposit into the applicable Locked Box or any local branch of Bank. Pending such deposit by Borrowers in
accordance with this section, Borrowers will not commingle any such Remittance or other proceeds of Receivables or other Loan Collateral
with any of any Borrower’s other funds or property, but Borrowers will hold it separate and apart therefrom in trust for
Bank. Until the Payment in Full of the Obligations, all deposits to the Locked Boxes and the Cash Collateral Accounts (collectively,
the “Collection Proceeds”) will be Bank’s property to be applied against the Loans and other Obligations
as follows: so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Collection Proceeds will be applied first to the
Revolving Loans and then to any other Obligations in such order and method of application as may be elected by Bank in its discretion
exercised in good faith, with any excess funds to be deposited into a Checking Account upon Borrowers’ request or,
in any case, as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing clause, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Collection Proceeds may be applied to the Obligations
in such order and method of application as may be elected by Bank in its discretion exercised in good faith, with any excess
funds to be deposited into a Checking Account upon Borrowers’ request or, in any case, as a court of competent jurisdiction
otherwise directs.

 

(v)         
Without limitation of any other provisions in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and without limitation to any provisions
relating to the ownership of the Locked Boxes, the Cash Collateral Accounts, the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and the deposits
and funds therein, Bank shall have, and each Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a continuing security interest and lien on all funds
held in the Checking Accounts, the Locked Boxes, the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and the Cash Collateral Accounts as security
for the Obligations. The Checking Accounts, Locked Boxes, Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and Cash Collateral Accounts will
not be subject to any deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than Bank. If any
Remittance deposited in a Cash Collateral Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, Bank, in its discretion, may
charge the amount of such dishonored or returned Remittance directly against Borrowers and any account maintained by any Borrower
with Bank and such amount shall be deemed part of the Obligations. Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from
any error, omission, failure or negligence on the part of Bank in good faith with respect to the operation of the Checking Accounts,
Cash Collateral Accounts, Locked Boxes, Letter of Credit Collateral Account, or the services to be provided by Bank under this
Agreement except to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages, as opposed to any consequential, special or lost
profit damages suffered by Borrowers from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank, its agents, employees or contractors.
Until a payment is received by Bank for Bank’s account in finally collected funds, all risks associated with such payment
will be borne solely by Borrowers.

(vi)        For
the purposes of calculating interest, determining Revolving Loan Availability, and determining the amount of Eligible Receivables,
all Remittances and other proceeds of Receivables and other Loan Collateral deposited into a Cash Collateral Account shall be credited
(conditional on final collection) against the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans and the then Eligible Receivables as funds
become collected and available in accordance with Bank’s funds availability policies from time to time in effect.

 

(vii)       Without
limiting any obligations of any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement, Borrowers agree that all reasonable service
charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of the Checking Accounts, the Cash Collateral Accounts, the Locked
Boxes, and Bank’s treasury and cash management services for Borrowers shall be the sole responsibility of Borrowers, whether
the same are incurred by Bank or Borrowers, and Bank, at its discretion, exercised in good faith, may charge the same against Borrowers
and any account maintained by any Borrower with Bank and the same shall be deemed part of the Obligations.

 

(viii)      Each
Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to do all acts and things in connection with this
Section 2.6. Nothing in this Section 2.6 is intended, or shall be construed, to have merged into or superseded any
of Bank’s Treasury Management Agreements, all of which will remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict, ambiguity,
or inconsistency, in Bank’s judgment, between the terms of the Treasury Management Agreements, on the one hand, and this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, on the other hand, then the applicable terms and provisions, in Bank’s judgment,
providing Bank with greater rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or benefits will control. From time to time, Bank may adopt such
regulations and procedures and changes it may deem reasonable and appropriate (to the extent such regulations and procedures are
applicable to Bank’s other similarly situated customers) with respect to the Treasury Management Agreements, the operation
of the Checking Accounts, the Cash Collateral Accounts, the Locked Boxes, the automatic sweep program and the other services to
be provided by Bank under this Agreement, the Treasury Management Agreements, and such regulations, procedures and changes need
not be reflected by an amendment to this Agreement in order to be effective. Bank will give written notice of such regulations,
procedures and changes to Borrowers in the ordinary course of Bank’s business.

 

2.7           Note;
Records of Advances of Credit. Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans (exclusive of
the Letter of Credit Exposure) made by Bank is evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by Borrowers in a form
acceptable to Bank (the “Revolving Loan Note”). Bank is hereby authorized to record the date and amount of each
advance of the Loans, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment thereof, by any or all of the following: (i) on a schedule
constituting a part of the applicable Note which schedule may be attached thereto and made a part thereof, (ii) by entries made
into Bank’s electronic systems, or (iii) on internal memoranda maintained by Bank, and any such recordation will be rebuttably
presumptive evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded absent manifest error; however, the failure of Bank
to make any such recordation will not affect the unconditional obligations of any Borrower to repay the outstanding principal,
interest, or other Obligations due under this Agreement, under the Revolving Loan Note, or the other Loan Documents in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.8           No
Limitation on Liens. The limits on outstanding advances against the Borrowing Base are not intended and shall not be deemed
to limit in any way Bank’s security interest in, or other Liens on, the Receivables, Inventory, Equipment, General Intangibles,
or any other Loan Collateral.

  

2.9           Advance
Rates and Sublimits.

 

2.9.1           Changes.
Borrowers acknowledge that Bank, from time to time, may do any one or more of the following in its discretion exercised in good
faith: (i) decrease the dollar limits on outstanding advances against the Borrowing Base or applicable to any one or more advance
sublimits or (ii) decrease the Advance Rates if one or more of the following events occur or conditions exist: (a) an Event of
Default has occurred; or (b) with regard to the Receivables Advance Rate or the Unbilled AR Advance Rate, (1) the dilution percentage
with respect to Borrowers’ Eligible Receivables or Eligible Unbilled Revenue (i.e., reductions in the amount of accounts
receivable because of returns, discounts, price adjustments, credit memoranda, credits, contras, set-offs and other similar offsets)
increases by an amount which Bank, in good faith, has determined is materially above that which existed as of the Closing Date,
(2) the percentage of accounts receivable which are 90 days or more past the date of the original invoices applicable thereto increases,
in comparison to the percentage of accounts receivable which are within 90 days from the date of the original invoices applicable
thereto, by an amount which Bank, in good faith, determines is material, or (3) any material adverse change occurs, determined
by Bank in good faith, from the Closing Date in respect of the credit rating or credit quality of Borrowers’ account debtors.

2.9.2           Notice.
If, at any time, Bank decreases any of the dollar limits on outstanding advances against the Borrowing Base or applicable to any
one or more advance sublimits or decreases the Advance Rates from that which, in any case, is expressly stated in this Agreement
(i.e., exclusive of those changes which result from the effect of applying applicable eligibility criteria and reserves)
(“Stated Advance Rate Change”), Bank will give Borrowers 15 days advance written notice of such Stated Advance
Rate Change, unless an Event of Default then exists, in which case Bank will give Borrowers contemporaneous oral or written notice
of such Stated Advance Rate Change.

 

2.10         Conditions

advance the initial Revolving Loans until each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

2.11         One
General Obligation; Cross-Collateralized. All advances of credit by Bank to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers (or any one or
more of them) under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document constitute one loan, and all of the Obligations constitute
one obligation. The Loans and all other advances or extensions of credit to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers (or any one or more
of them) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents are made on the security of all of the Loan Collateral.

 

2.12         Consolidated
Borrowings. To induce Bank to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans in the manner set forth in this Agreement, each Borrower
hereby represents, warrants, covenants and states to Bank that: (i) Borrowers are substantially dependent upon each other for their
respective working capital, strategic management, financial needs and technology; (ii) Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing
potential on a consolidated basis, to the extent(s) possible as if they were merged into a single entity and, consistent with realizing
such potential, to make available to Bank security commensurate with the amount and nature of their aggregate borrowings; (iii)
each of Borrowers has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this
Agreement and that under a joint and several loan facility it is able to obtain financing on terms more favorable than otherwise
available to it separately; and (iv) Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the
advances contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.13         Joint
Obligations. The obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents are joint, several and primary. No Borrower will be or be
deemed to be an accommodation party with respect to any of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates EQMI
as its representative and agent (as applicable, “Borrower Representative”) on its behalf for the purposes of
issuing requests for advances of Loans, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting
interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and
taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan
Documents which are permitted to be taken by a Borrower. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Bank may
regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication
from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder
to the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation
and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes
to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the
same had been made directly by such Borrower.

 

2.14       Cross-Guaranty.
(i) Each Borrower (each to be referred to in this Section 2.14 as a “Cross-Guarantor” and collectively
as the “Cross-Guarantors”) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, and therefore does absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to Bank, the prompt payment
when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations of each other
Borrower (such Obligations, collectively the “Cross-Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Cross-Guarantor further agrees
that the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it,
and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

 

(ii)         The
provisions of this Section 2.14 (this “Cross-Guaranty”) are a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
Each Cross-Guarantor waives any right to require Bank to sue any other Loan Party, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated
for all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all
or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(iii)        Except
as otherwise provided for herein and to the extent provided for herein, the obligations of each Cross-Guarantor hereunder are unconditional
and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in
Full of the Obligations), including:

 

(a)          any
claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations,
by operation of law or otherwise;

 

(b)          any
change in the corporate or, as applicable, limited liability company existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or any
other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

(c)          any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any other Person liable for any
of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Loan Party
or any other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(d)          the
existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Cross-Guarantor may have at any time against any other Loan Party, Bank,
or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

 

(iv)        The
obligations of each Cross-Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise,
or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Loan Party or any other Person liable for
any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

 

(v)         Further,
the obligations of any Cross-Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:

 

(a)          the
failure of Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

(b)          any
waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)          any
release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of Loan Parties (or any one or more
of them) for all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed
Obligations;

 

(d)          any
action or failure to act by Bank with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(e)          any
default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or any
other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Cross-Guarantor or that
would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Cross-Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full of the
Obligations).

 

(vi)        To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Cross-Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense
of any Loan Party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party, other than the Payment in Full of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Cross-Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person
against any Loan Party or any other Person. Bank may, at its election, foreclose on any Loan Collateral held by it by one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Loan Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail
to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part
of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Loan Party or any other Person liable on any part of
the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Loan Party or any other Person
liable on any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Cross-Guarantor
under this Cross-Guaranty except upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each Cross-Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Cross-Guarantor against
any other Loan Party or any other Person liable on any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, or any security.

 

(vii)       No
Cross-Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification
that it has against any other Loan Party, any other Person liable on the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or any collateral, until
the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

(viii)      If
at any time any payment of any portion of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, each Cross-Guarantor’s obligations under
this Cross-Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether
or not Bank is in possession of this Cross-Guaranty. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, each Cross-Guarantor’s
obligations under this Cross-Guaranty will terminate when the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid, performed and
satisfied and the Loan Documents are terminated. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations
is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of any agreement relating to the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Cross-Guarantors
forthwith on demand by Bank.

 

(ix)         Each
Cross-Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each other Loan Party’s financial condition
and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that each Cross-Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Cross-Guaranty, and agrees that Bank shall
not have any duty to advise any Cross-Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

 

(x)          The
provisions of this Cross-Guaranty and the joint and several liability provisions applicable to Cross-Guarantors under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Joint and Several Provisions”) are severable, and in any action
or proceeding involving any state corporate or limited liability company law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally (each an “Insolvency or Avoidance Action”),
if the obligations of any Cross-Guarantor under this Cross-Guaranty or the Joint and Several Provisions would otherwise be held
or determined in any Insolvency or Avoidance Action to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such
Cross-Guarantor’s liability under this Cross-Guaranty or the Joint and Several Provisions, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Cross-Guaranty or the Joint and Several Provisions to the contrary, the amount of such liability under this Cross-Guaranty
and the Joint and Several Provisions shall, without any further action by any Loan Party or Bank, be automatically limited and
reduced to the Maximum Liability (as defined below) with respect to each such Cross-Guarantor. The provisions of this Cross-Guaranty
and the Joint and Several Provisions, in each case with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Cross-Guarantor, are intended
solely to preserve the rights of Bank to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Cross-Guarantor
nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability except to the extent
necessary in any Insolvency or Avoidance Action so that the obligations of any Cross-Guarantor under this Cross-Guaranty or the
Joint and Several Provisions shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Cross-Guarantor agrees that the Cross-Guaranteed
Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Cross-Guarantor without impairing this Cross-Guaranty
or the Joint and Several Provisions or otherwise affecting the rights and remedies of Bank hereunder or with respect thereto, provided
that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Cross-Guarantor’s obligations under this Cross-Guaranty
or the Joint and Several Provisions beyond its Maximum Liability. As used herein, “Maximum Liability” shall mean, with
respect to any Cross-Guarantor, the highest amount which could be claimed by Bank from such Cross-Guarantor solely in its capacity
as a Cross-Guarantor or under the Joint and Several Provisions, with respect to such Cross-Guarantor’s obligations under
this Cross-Guaranty and/or the Joint and Several Provisions, without rendering such obligations unenforceable, voidable or avoidable
under applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.14(x), Maximum Liability shall be calculated after giving effect to
(i) any right to receive, or obligations to make, contributions from the other Loan Parties under Section 2.14(xi) or the
other Loan Documents, as applicable, and (ii) the operation of any statute of limitation or other applicable law (collectively,
the “Applicable Statute of Limitations”) which has the effect of extinguishing (by reason of the passage of time) a
cause of action or proceeding or claim for relief that could otherwise (if not for the Applicable Statute of Limitations) render
a Cross-Guarantor’s obligations under this Cross-Guaranty and/or the Joint and Several Provisions unenforceable, voidable
or avoidable. For purposes of Section 2.14(xi), Maximum Liability shall be calculated without giving effect to (A) any right
to receive, or obligations to make, contributions under Section 2.14(xi) or any other Loan Document, as applicable, and
(B) the Applicable Statute of Limitations.

(xi)         In
the event any Cross-Guarantor (each a “Paying Cross-Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this
Cross-Guaranty or the Joint and Several Provisions to Bank or shall suffer any damage or loss as a result of any realization by
Bank upon any Collateral granted by such Paying Cross-Guarantor to Bank to secure such Paying Cross-Guarantor’s obligations
under this Cross-Guaranty or the Joint and Several Provisions, each other Loan Party vis-à-vis such Paying Cross-Guarantor
(each a “Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Cross-Guarantor an amount equal to such
Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or damages or losses suffered,
by such Paying Cross-Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 2.14, each Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s “Pro Rata
Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Cross-Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such
payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such
date or, if such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined as of such date, the aggregate amount
of all monies received by such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor from the other Loan Parties or directly from Bank on and after the Closing
Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Parties (including
such Paying Cross-Guarantor) under this Cross-Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, as of such date, or to the
extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for all Loan Parties as of such date, the aggregate amount of all monies
received by the applicable Loan Parties from the other Loan Parties or directly from Bank on and after the Closing Date (whether
by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Cross-Guarantor’s liability for
the entire amount of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations (subject only to the limitations set forth in Section 2.14(x)). Each
of the Cross-Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Cross-Guaranty and the other
Loan Documents, as applicable, from a Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment
in full in cash of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both Bank and the Loan Parties and may
be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. It is a material objective of Section 2.14(x)
and this Section 2.14(xi) that the Loan Parties recognize ratable rights of contribution from each other and have an equitable
allocation of liabilities among them rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary
interpretation of this Cross-Guaranty, the Joint and Several Provisions, or any other Loan Document.

 

(l)          The
liability of each Borrower as a Cross-Guarantor under this Section 2.14 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all
Obligations of such Borrower to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in
respect of any Obligations of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount (subject, in the case of this Cross-Guaranty
or the Joint and Several Provisions, to Section 2.14(j)), unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such
other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

 

2.15         Banking
Services; Third Party Deposit Accounts. So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, Borrowers will maintain their banking
services with Bank and will grant Bank the first and last opportunity to provide any banking services required by any Borrower.
Borrowers will diligently use all reasonable efforts to cause its Account Debtors, as required by this Agreement, to begin making
payment directly to a Lock Box or Cash Collateral Account as quickly as possible and, in any event, within 90 days after the Closing
Date. The interim use of any Third Party Deposit Account will not diminish or alter any Borrower’s obligations under this
Section 3. Borrowers will use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause all available funds in each Third Party Deposit Account
to be transferred each Business Day, at Borrowers’ expense, to the Cash Collateral Account by any method acceptable to Bank,
including by depository transfer check (DTC), automated clearing house (ACH) debit, or wire transfer of available funds. Upon Bank’s
request, Borrowers shall cause each Third Party Deposit Account to be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement in favor of
Bank. Any amounts paid by Bank under a Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be part of the Obligations payable by Borrowers
upon Bank’s demand. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bank, Borrowers will close all Third Party Deposit Accounts on
or before the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date.

 

3.           INTEREST
CHARGES; FEES

 

3.1           Interest
on Loans. Borrowers will pay Bank interest on the Obligations as follows:

  

(i)            Subject
to Sections 3.1 and 3.8, the principal sum outstanding shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal
to the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin in excess of the LIBOR Rate (the “Interest Rate”). In the event of a change
in the LIBOR Rate, the Interest Rate shall be changed immediately, without notice, to the percentage stated above in excess of
the LIBOR Rate. Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest
shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month; provided that the entire principal balance, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable in
full on the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Obligations.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, if, prior to or during any period with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

 

(a)          Any
change in any law, regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof, by any governmental body charged with the
administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for Bank to fund or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any portion of the Revolving
Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate or otherwise to give effect to Bank’s obligations as contemplated hereby; or

(b)          One-month
LIBOR Rate deposits are not readily available in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate Market, or that, by reason of circumstances
affecting such market, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest applicable to such deposits,

 

Then, Bank may, by telephonic notice to
Borrowers, declare Bank’s obligations in respect of the LIBOR Rate to be terminated forthwith, and upon such notice, (I)
the LIBOR Rate with respect to Bank shall forthwith cease to be in effect, and (II) amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest
from and after such date at a rate equal to a floating rate per annum equal to the Applicable Prime Rate Margin in excess of the
Prime Rate.

 

(iii)        Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrowers agree to pay to Bank, and Borrowers agree that Bank
may increase the Interest Rate to, in each case without notice, the Default Rate.

 

3.2           Additional
Costs. Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse and indemnify Bank from all increased costs or fees incurred by Bank subsequent
to the date hereof relating to the offering of rates of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, if any change (a “Change”) since the Closing Date in any law, regulation or official directive
(including, without limitation, any request, rule, guideline or directive (1) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) or (2) enacted, promulgated, adopted, issued or implemented
by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor
or similar authority), or the United States financial regulatory authorities), or in any interpretation thereof by any governmental
body charged with the administration of any of the foregoing, shall:

 

(i)        increase the cost to Bank,
by an amount which Bank deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Revolving Loans bearing interest
based upon the LIBOR Rate or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, or

 

(ii)        have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank could
have achieved but for such change by an amount deemed by Bank to be material,

 

then, in any such case, after submission
by Bank to Borrowers of a written request therefor, Borrowers shall pay Bank any additional amounts necessary to compensate Bank
for such increased cost or reduction. Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of this paragraph,
it will use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office (if possible) for any Revolving Loans affected by such event
with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that no such designation shall be required unless such
designation can be made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of Bank, cause Bank and its lending office(s) to suffer no material
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for all purposes of the
Loan Documents, all requests, rules, guidelines and directives (A) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Act or (B) enacted, promulgated,
adopted, issued or implemented by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices (or any successor or similar authority), or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall, in each case, be
deemed to constitute a Change regardless of the date on which such request, rule, guideline or directive was enacted, promulgated,
adopted, issued or implemented. A certificate of Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank as specified
in this paragraph and delivered to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay Bank the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

3.3          Collateral
Monitoring Fee; Closing Fee.

 

(i)          Commencing
on October 1, 2012, and continuing on the first Business Day of each and every calendar month thereafter until the Payment in Full
of the Obligations (and, as applicable, on the date this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 11), Borrowers
will pay to Bank a collateral monitoring fee equal to $750.00 (“Collateral Monitoring Fee”). Each payment of
the Collateral Monitoring Fee is deemed fully earned and non-refundable when paid.

 

(ii)         On
the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Bank a nonrefundable loan fee in the aggregate amount of $85,000 (the “Closing
Fee”). The Closing Fee shall be in addition to Borrowers’ reimbursement of Bank’s costs and expenses as required
by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and shall be fully earned upon closing.

3.4           Unused
Commitment Fee. On the first Business Day of each and every calendar month until the Obligations are fully paid and satisfied
(and, as applicable, on the date this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 11), Borrowers will pay to Bank
an Unused Commitment Fee in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) the difference between (a) the then applicable
Revolving Commitment and (b) the average daily Revolving Loans advanced to Borrowers during the preceding calendar month (or portion
thereof during which any portion of the Revolving Loans (including the then Letter of Credit Reserve), was outstanding or during
which this Agreement was in full force and effect) for which the Unused Commitment Fee is being determined by (ii) the result
obtained (expressed as a percentage) by multiplying the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days in such calendar month during which this Agreement was in full force and effect (or during which any portion
of the Revolving Loans (including the then Letter of Credit Reserve) was outstanding) and the denominator of which is 360.

 

3.5           Letter
of Credit Fees. Borrowers will pay to Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a per annum fee (“LOC Fee”)
equal to the then Applicable LOC Fee on the amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit from, and including, the issuance
date of the Letter of Credit to and including the expiry date thereof (or, if earlier, the date on which the Letter of Credit is
returned to Bank and is canceled). In addition, Borrowers will pay to Bank, on its demand for payment, Bank’s then current
issuance, opening, closing, transfer, amendment, draw, renewal, negotiation and other letter of credit Collateral Monitoring Fees,
charges and out of pocket expenses with respect to each Letter of Credit. The LOC Fee is fully earned by Bank when paid and will
be due and payable in advance on the issuance of each Letter of Credit and, if applicable, upon each renewal thereof. The LOC Fee
will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 3.5 or any Letter of Credit Document, if any Letter of Credit is cancelled for any reason before the stated
expiry date thereof, any LOC Fee paid in advance will not be refunded and will be retained by Bank solely for its account.

 

3.6           Calculation
of Certain Charges. Accrued interest charges will be payable to Bank on each Interest Payment Date. Except the fees and expenses
set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5, which shall be paid in accordance with such Sections, all such charges
and other fees shall be paid in arrears.

 

3.7           Payments;
Charging Loan Account. Each Borrower promises to pay and to perform, observe and comply with when due all of the Obligations.
All payments to be made by Borrowers on account of the Obligations will be made by Borrowers without setoff, deduction, offset,
recoupment or counterclaim in immediately available funds. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank, at Bank’s option, to charge
any account of any Borrower at Bank or charge or increase the Revolving Loans, as a LIBOR Rate Loan, for the payment or repayment
of any interest or principal of the Loans, any fees, charges or other amounts due to Bank under the Loan Documents, or any of the
other Obligations.

 

3.8           Maximum
Rate. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall the interest
rate charged on the Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law.
Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of,
and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable
to Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the
highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

4.          MONTHLY
LOAN ACTIVITY ACCOUNTINGS. Bank will provide Borrowers with a statement of advances, charges and payments made pursuant to
this Agreement in accordance with Bank’s normal practices, and such account rendered by Bank shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of the Obligations owing and unpaid by Borrowers and shall be deemed to be an account stated and binding
as against Borrowers unless a written statement of Borrowers’ or Bank’s exceptions is received by the other within
30 days after the statement is mailed to Borrowers; however, Bank will have no obligation to correct any error or errors
specified by Borrowers unless Bank, in its discretion exercised in a commercially reasonable manner, believes that an error was
made. If any error is a manifest error, Borrowers or Bank shall have one year to raise the exception.

 

5.          SECURITY.
The Obligations shall be secured (in such order as may be determined by Bank in its discretion) by a first priority Lien on all
Loan Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), including a first priority security interest in all of the Collateral pursuant to
the Security Agreement and accompanying financing statements.

6.          FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any and all further documents and instruments and
to take any and all further actions as may be determined by Bank to be necessary or appropriate to the transactions contemplated
herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

7.           RECEIVABLES;
INVENTORY.

 

7.1           Agreements
Regarding Receivables. No Borrower may backdate, postdate or redate any of its invoices. No Borrower may make any sales on
extended dating or credit terms beyond that customary in such Borrower’s industry and consented to in advance by Bank, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to the Borrowing Base Certificate to be delivered in accordance with Section
8.3, Borrowers shall notify Bank promptly upon Borrowers’ learning thereof, in the event any Eligible Receivable or any
Eligible Unbilled Revenue becomes ineligible for any reason, other than the aging of such Receivable, and of the reasons for such
ineligibility. Borrowers shall also notify Bank promptly of all material disputes and claims with respect to their Receivables,
and Borrowers will settle or adjust such material disputes and claims at no expense to Bank; however, Borrowers may not,
without Bank’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, grant (i) any discount, credit or allowance in
respect of their Receivables (a) which is outside the ordinary course of the applicable Borrower’s business or (b) which
discount, credit or allowance exceeds an amount equal to $50,000 in the aggregate with respect to any individual Receivable or
(ii) any materially adverse extension, compromise or settlement to any customer or account debtor with respect to any then Eligible
Receivable or Eligible Unbilled Revenue. Nothing permitted by this Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, however, may be construed
to alter in any way the criteria for Eligible Receivables or Eligible Unbilled Revenue provided in Section 1.1.

 

7.2           Agreements
Regarding Inventory. Borrowers shall notify Bank promptly of all material returns and recoveries of Inventory. Without obtaining
Bank’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in compliance with the applicable terms of the
Security Agreement, Borrowers will not (i) accept any returns of Inventory outside the ordinary course of the applicable Borrower’s
business, (ii) enter into any agreement, practice, arrangement, or transaction under which title to, or ownership of, any Inventory
which is being sold by any Borrower is, or purports to be, transferred to, or held by, a Person other than Borrowers before such
Inventory is delivered to such Person by Borrowers, (iii) make a sale of Inventory to any customer on a bill-and-hold, guaranteed
sale, sale and return, sale on approval, consignment or any other repurchase or return basis, or (iv) store any Inventory with,
or place any Inventory in the possession or control of, any bailee, processor, warehouseman, consignee or any other Person, not
a party to a bailee, warehouseman or similar agreement with Bank, under any arrangement, practice or agreement (oral or written).

 

8.            EXAMINATION
OF LOAN COLLATERAL; REPORTING.

 

8.1           Maintenance
of Books and Records. Borrowers shall keep and maintain complete books of account, records and files with respect to their
business in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and shall accurately and completely record all transactions therein.

 

8.2           Access
and Inspection. Bank may at all times during normal business hours have (i) access to, and the right to examine and inspect,
all of Borrowers’ real and personal property and (ii) access to, and the right to inspect, audit and make extracts from,
all of Borrowers’ records, files and books of account, and Borrowers shall execute and deliver at the request of Bank such
instruments as may be necessary for Bank to obtain such information concerning the business of Borrowers as Bank may require from
any Person; however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank will give Borrowers reasonable advance
notice before it makes the inspections and examinations at any office or place of business of Borrowers. Borrowers shall furnish
Bank at reasonable intervals with such statements and reports regarding Borrowers’ financial condition and the results of
Borrowers’ operations, in addition to those hereinafter required, and such other information as Bank may reasonably request
from time to time.

 

8.3           Reporting
Regarding Receivables, Payables, and Balances; Borrowing Base Certificates. Within 30 days after the end of each fiscal month,
Borrowers will furnish Bank with a statement of Borrowers’ accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, in such detail
as Bank may request in its discretion exercised in good faith, attested by an officer of Borrowers. On each such statement, accounts
receivable and accounts payable will be broken down into categories including those receivables or payables due within 30-days,
60-days, 90-days, 120-days, and 150-days from the date of the statement. Within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, Borrowers
will furnish Bank a Borrowing Base Certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Borrowing Base Certificate”),
with respect to the Revolving Loans. Each Borrowing Base Certificate shall be accompanied by documentation supporting and reconciling
the amounts listed in such Borrowing Base Certificate to the monthly financial statements for the applicable calendar month, and
such other documentation requested by Bank from time to time.

8.4           Reporting
Regarding Government Contracts. Not less frequently than monthly, by no later than the 30th day of each month, Borrowers shall
deliver to Bank to Bank a certificate in a form of Exhibit B which reports any material amendment to each Government Contract
existing as of the Closing Date, each Government Contract arising or renewed after the Closing Date, each payment bond or performance
bond, and the associated surety, relating to each existing and new contract, including each Government Contract. Not less frequently
than quarterly, such certificate shall also report the type of pricing and percentage of revenue associated therewith with respect
to each Government Contract (i.e., fixed price, cost plus or time and materials, or any other type of pricing). In addition, Borrowers
shall, in every instance in the Loan Documents where copies of, or updates regarding, any Government Contracts are required to
be delivered to Bank, also deliver the same to counsel to Bank.

 

8.5           Monthly
Financial Statements; Payable Information. Promptly when available and in any event not later than 30 days after the end of
each calendar month occurring after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall furnish to Bank a monthly income statement, balance sheet
and changes in its cash flows, (a) showing Borrowers’ financial condition and the results of Borrowers’ operations

other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrowers, and each will constitute, upon the due execution and delivery
thereof, the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Borrowers enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as

9.3           No
Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrowers of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the grant
of the Liens on or security interests in the Loan Collateral to Bank, do not and will not (i) constitute a violation of any applicable

9.11         Absence
of Default. Borrowers are not in default under any Applicable Agreement and have not received any notice of breach, termination
or acceleration or demand for adequate assurances under any Applicable Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrowers are not presently and have not within the past twenty four months been in default under the terms of any payment bond
or performance bond.

 

9.12         Accuracy

are true, correct and complete in all material respects and (ii) fairly present Borrowers’ assets, liabilities and financial
condition and results of operations and those of such other Persons described therein as of the date thereof (subject to normal
year-end adjustments and the lack of footnotes in the case of monthly or pro forma Financials). There are no omissions from
the Financials or other facts or circumstances not reflected in the Financials which are material, and there has been no change
in any Borrower’s assets, liabilities or financial condition since the date of the Financials nor has there been any damage
to or loss of any of any Borrower’s assets or properties since such date that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Borrowers’ outstanding advances to any Person do not constitute any equity or long term investment in any
Person which is not reflected in the Financials. Borrowers’ Fiscal Year is from January 1 to December 31.

 

9.13         Pension
Plans. Except as described on Schedule 9.13, neither Borrowers nor any Controlled Group member has ever sponsored, maintained,

Borrowers nor any Controlled Group member has ever sponsored, maintained, or contributed (or become obligated to sponsor, maintain,
or contribute) to any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). No “prohibited transaction”
(as defined in Section 406 of ERISA) for which no statutory or class exemption exists under Section 407 or 408 of ERISA, and no
Reportable Event has occurred or is continuing as to any Pension Plan of any Borrower or any Controlled Group member, which poses
a threat of the imposition of taxes or penalties against such Pension Plans (or trusts related thereto), any Borrower or any Controlled
Group member, the imposition or payment of which could have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Pension Plan that is intended to meet
the requirements of qualified pension benefit plans under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received
a current favorable determination letter to that effect under the Internal Revenue Code, and neither Borrowers nor, to Borrowers’
knowledge (after making due inquiries), any Controlled Group member has violated such requirements with respect to any Pension
Plan.

 

9.14         Taxes
and Other Charges. Borrowers have filed all federal, state and local tax returns and other reports which they are required
by law to file, except where the failure to so file could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of
such tax returns and reports accurately and properly reflect the taxes due for the periods covered thereby. Borrowers have paid
all taxes, assessments and other similar charges that are due and payable as of the Closing Date except for any such taxes, assessments
or charges which are being contested in good faith in accordance with the terms of Section 10.9. Except where the failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Borrowers have withheld all employee and similar taxes
which they are required by law to withhold and have maintained adequate reserves for the payment of all taxes and similar charges.
No tax Liens have been filed with respect to any Borrower and, to the knowledge of Borrowers (after due inquiry), no claims are
being asserted with respect to any such taxes, assessments or charges (and no basis exists for any such claims). There are not
in effect any waivers of applicable statutes of limitations for federal, foreign, state or local taxes for any period. No Borrower
is a party to any tax-sharing agreement or arrangement.

 

9.15         No
Litigation. Except as described on Schedule 9.15, there is not, as of the Closing Date, any litigation, action or proceeding

into this Agreement or by reason of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless
from all such fees and commissions.

(t)          There
occurs an “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, the Parent Guaranty.

 

(ii)         Each
Event of Default will be deemed continuing until it is waived in writing by, or cured to the written satisfaction of, Bank.

 

12.2      Effect of Default.
All of Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents during the continuance of an Event of Default, including the interest rate
described in Section 3.1, applicable during the continuance of an Event of Default, will, at Bank’s option, be applicable
until any such event is cured to the written satisfaction of Bank.

 

13.          BANK’S
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

 

13.1         Acceleration.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents or available
at law or in equity, Bank, without further notice or demand and as provided in clause (i) of this Section 13.1, (i) may
declare the Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable (except that with respect to any Event of Default
under Section 12.1(i)(f) or (g) (exclusive of an Involuntary Proceeding), such acceleration of the Loans shall be
automatic), (ii) to the extent that the maximum amount of the Loans has not yet been used or fully drawn on by Borrowers, may terminate
the undrawn amount thereof, (iii) may terminate this Agreement, and (iv) will have all rights to realize upon, and exercise its
rights with respect to, the Loan Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and as otherwise provided
by applicable law. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right
or remedy which Bank have.

 

13.2         Fees
and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay to Bank, immediately and as part of the Obligations, all reasonable costs and expenses, including
court costs, Attorneys’ Fees and costs of sale, incurred by Bank in exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan
Documents.

 

13.3         Actions
in Respect of Letters of Credit. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank may, whether in addition
to taking any of the actions described in Section 13.1 or otherwise, if any Letters of Credit shall have been issued, make
demand upon Borrowers to, and forthwith upon such demand Borrowers will, pay to Bank in same day funds at Bank’s office designated
in such demand, for deposit in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral
Account”) to be maintained at such office of Bank, an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Exposure from time
to time in existence. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be in the name of Bank (as a cash collateral account), and
under the sole dominion and control of Bank exercised in good faith (with sole right of withdrawal) and subject to the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On each drawing under a Letter of Credit, Bank shall seek reimbursement from any amounts
then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; however, if (i) no amounts are then on deposit in the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account, (ii) the amount then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account is insufficient to pay
the amount of such drawing, or (iii) Bank is legally prevented or restrained from immediately applying amounts on deposit in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the amount of each unreimbursed drawing under such Letter of Credit and payment required
to be made under this Section 13.3 shall automatically be converted into a Loan made on the date of such drawing for all
purposes of this Agreement. To the extent that Bank applies amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as provided
in this Section 13.3, and, thereafter, such application (or any portion thereof) is rescinded or any amount so applied must
otherwise be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, then the amount so
rescinded or returned shall automatically be converted into a Loan made on the date of such drawing for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

14.           PARTICIPATIONS.

 

14.1         Participation.
Bank, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, may at any time sell to
one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in the Loans, the Loan Collateral
or other security provided to Bank, or any other interests of Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

14.2         Participant
Consents. Each Borrower acknowledges that Participants have or will have certain rights under their respective participation
agreements with Bank that may, subject to the terms of the participation agreements, require Bank to obtain the consent (collectively,
“Participant Consents”) of some or all of the Participants before Bank takes or refrains from taking certain
actions (other than as expressly required by the Loan Documents) or grants certain waivers, consents or approvals in respect of
the Loans, the Loan Documents or the Loan Collateral. None of the Participants, however, will have Participant Consent rights which
are greater than those rights and remedies Bank has under the Loan Documents. In addition, from time to time, Bank may request
instructions from the Participants in respect of the actions, waivers, consents or approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan
Documents Bank is permitted or required to take or to grant or to not take or grant (“Participant Instructions”).
If the Participant Consents are, pursuant to the terms of the respective participation agreements, required or Participant Instructions
are requested, Bank will (i) be absolutely empowered to take or refrain from taking any action (other than as expressly required
by the Loan Documents) or withhold any waiver, consent or approval and (ii) not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person,
including Borrowers and any Participant, from taking or refraining from taking any action or withholding any waiver, consent or
approval under any of the Loan Documents until it has received the requisite Participant Consents or, as applicable, the Participant
Instructions.

 

14.3         Information.
Each Borrower authorizes Bank to disclose to any Participant or prospective Participant or any assignee or prospective assignee
of Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents any and all financial information in Bank’s possession concerning Borrower
which has been delivered to Bank by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents or in connection with Bank’s credit evaluation
of Borrowers or which has been obtained independently by Bank in its credit evaluation or audit of Borrowers.

 

14.4         Law
Requirements. Nothing in the Loan Documents will prohibit Bank from pledging or assigning its interests in the Loans to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

 

15.         GENERAL.

 

15.1         Severability.

TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.

 

15.4         Survival

determine, and (iii) settle, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any such security in any manner without affecting or impairing
its right to take any other further action with respect to any security or any part thereof.

 

15.7         Application
of Payments; Revival of Obligations. Bank shall have the continuing right to apply or reverse and reapply any payments to any
portion of the Obligations. To the extent any Borrower makes a payment or payments to Bank or Bank receives any payment or proceeds

subsequently voided, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment
or proceeds received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and shall continue in full force
and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Bank.

15.9.2           Electronic
Communication. Bank may, in its discretion, elect, from time to time, to receive certain information, including reports, otherwise
required by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (“Reports”) from Borrowers via electronic
mail transmission (“e-mail”). Bank will designate from time to time its e-mail address to Borrowers (the “Bank
E-mail Address”). All e-mail transmissions of Reports from Borrowers shall contain the information as specified in this
Agreement, shall be formatted or displayed in a manner and order substantially similar to that shown in this Agreement or otherwise
required by Bank and shall conform to the specifications described in this Agreement. Borrowers will be solely responsible for
the confidentiality of the contents of e-mail transmissions during transmission to the Bank E-mail Address. Borrowers will be responsible
for the accuracy of all information provided to Bank via e-mail transmission to the Bank E-mail Address, and any information so
received by Bank will be deemed to have been submitted by and received from Borrowers. In the event of a failure of the transmission
of the Reports, it is the responsibility of Borrowers to transmit the contents of any pending transmission to Bank using an alternative
method which is timely and in accordance with this Agreement. Borrowers agree that, by sending Bank the Reports via e-mail transmission,
Borrowers are certifying the truthfulness and accuracy in all material respects of the Reports submitted each and every time Borrowers
send Bank the Reports. Borrowers further agree that, on each occasion when Borrowers send Bank e-mail transmissions containing
Reports, Borrowers are warranting and representing to Bank the truthfulness and accuracy in all material respects of the representations
and warranties relevant to that Report set forth in the relevant Loan Document. Borrowers consent to and represents that it is
Borrowers’ intent that by Borrowers’ insertion of a Borrower’s name in the subject line of the transmitting e-mail,
or on the Reports (including the header and/or the certification line), Borrowers intend such to constitute a legally binding and
enforceable signature of Borrowers, and in all aspects the legal equivalent of Borrowers’ handwritten signature.

Loan Number: 820106477

 

15.10         Indemnification.
In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Bank and the making of any Loan hereunder, each Borrower hereby
indemnifies, exonerates and holds Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, and agents (collectively the
“Indemnified Parties” and, individually, as “Indemnified Party”) free and harmless from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, demands, investigations, obligations, judgments, losses, costs, liabilities,
damages, and expenses (irrespective of whether such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder
is sought), including Attorneys’ Fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), which are incurred
by, or made or brought against, the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to, or as
a direct or indirect result of: (i) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with
the proceeds of any Loan; (ii) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any of the Indemnified
Parties; (iii) any breach by any Borrower of any term, provision, representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; (iv) any Environmental Law, regardless of whether or not caused by, or within the control of, any Borrower;
or (v) any Remittance deposited in any Cash Collateral Account which is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, except to
the extent that the Indemnified Liability is caused by or results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. If and to the extent that
the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law, except to the extent
that such Indemnified Liabilities have arisen by reason of an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. The Obligations described under
this Section 15.10 will survive any termination of this Agreement and shall be due and payable on demand.

 

15.11         Additional
Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower waives presentment and protest of any instrument and notice thereof, and, except as expressly
provided in the Loan Documents, demand, notice of default and all other notices to which Borrowers might otherwise be entitled.
Borrowers shall not assert any claim against Bank on any theory of liability for consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages.

 

15.12         Equitable
Relief. Borrowers recognize that, in the event any Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Bank; therefore, Borrowers agree that
Bank, if Bank so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity
of proving actual damages.

 

15.13         Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject
matter and supersede all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect thereof. Any request from time to time by any Borrower
for Bank’s consent under any provision in the Loan Documents must be in writing, and any consent to be provided by Bank under
the Loan Documents from time to time must be in writing in order to be binding on Bank; however, Bank will have no obligation
to provide any consent requested by any Borrower, and Bank may, for any reason in its discretion exercised in good faith, elect
to withhold the requested consent. Two or more duplicate originals of this Agreement may be signed by the parties, each of which
shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any documents delivered by, or on
behalf of, any Borrower by fax transmission or other electronic delivery of an image file reflecting the execution thereof: (i)
may be relied on by Bank as if the document were a manually signed original and (ii) will be binding on such Borrower for all purposes
of the Loan Documents.

 

15.14         Headings.
Section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not relate to the interpretation or
construction of this Agreement.

 

15.15         Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law. Exercise of one or more remedy(ies) by Bank does not require that all or any other remedy(ies) be exercised and
does not preclude later exercise of the same remedy. If there is any conflict, ambiguity, or inconsistency, in Bank’s judgment,
between the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then the applicable terms and provisions, in Bank’s
judgment, providing Bank with greater rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or benefits will control.

15.16         Waivers
and Amendments in Writing. Failure by Bank to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or in any Loan Document
or delay by Bank in exercising the same shall not operate as a waiver by Bank of its right to exercise any such right, remedy or
option. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. No modification
or amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless made in a writing signed by appropriate officers of Bank and each Borrower.

 

15.17         Recourse
to Directors or Officers. The obligations of Bank under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of Bank. No recourse
shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect to this Agreement or for the payment of any fee hereunder or for any
other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any stockholder, employee, officer, or director of
Bank.

 

15.18         WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWERS,
BORROWERS AND BANK EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BANK AND BORROWERS.

 

15.19         PATRIOT
ACT NOTICE. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all
financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each party who opens an account. Bank will ask
each party to a financial transaction their name, address and other information that will allow Bank to identify such party. Bank
may also ask to see other documents that substantiate a party’s identity.

In August 2007, Parent initiated an internal investigation regarding
potential billing for unallowable costs in connection with EQMI’s construction of a forward operating base in Iraq beginning
in 2006 (the “FOB Hope Project”).  EQMI completed the FOB Hope Project in March 2008.  Parent has submitted
its findings to the U.S. Air Force Inspector General and the U.S. Office of Inspector General of the Department of Defense on a
number of occasions in an effort to be admitted into the Federal government’s Voluntary Disclosure Program, which provides
participants with certain protections and rights related to possible violations. Parent was accepted into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program, has answered all questions of and submitted all information requested by the Federal government concerning this matter,
and is awaiting feedback from the Federal government.

SCHEDULES

 

The following Schedules
(the “Schedules”) are to be read in their entirety.  Nothing in the Schedules is intended to broaden the scope
of any representation or warranty of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of September
28, 2012, among FIRST FINANCIAL BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Bank”), ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY MANAGEMENT, INC., an Ohio corporation (“EQMI”), and EQ ENGINEERS, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company
(“EQE”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein or in the Schedules shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Agreement.

 

To the extent more
than one representation and warranty contained in the Agreement requires the same disclosure, the appearance of such disclosure
on any single item herein shall serve as disclosure for all other representations and warranties to which such disclosure applies. 
The failure by the Borrowers to cross-reference any disclosure on any particular schedule shall not constitute a breach by the
Company of the applicable representation or warranty as long as the matter is disclosed elsewhere in these schedules.

 

Inclusion of any item
in the Schedules (i) does not represent a determination by the Borrowers that such item is material and shall not be deemed to
establish a standard of materiality and (ii) does not represent a determination by the Borrowers that such item did not arise in
the ordinary course of business.  Any disclosure contained in the Schedules that refers to a document is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the text of such document.

 NOTE 1 - BUSINESS 

   

 Overview 

   

 Environmental Quality Management, Inc. (“EQ”),
an Ohio corporation, was formed on September 24, 1990 under the name “Professional Environmental Quality, Inc.” and
changed its name to “Environmental Quality Management, Inc.” on September 26, 1990. On February 7, 2011, EQ consummated
a “reverse business combination” transaction with Beacon Energy Holdings, Inc. (“Beacon”), a Delaware
corporation, and Beacon Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), an Ohio corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Beacon. EQ merged with and into Acquisition Sub with the result that, on February 7, 2011, EQ became a subsidiary of Beacon (the
“Beacon Merger”). Following the Beacon Merger, the former stockholders of EQ owned 78% of the merged company and the
former stockholders of Beacon owned 22% of the merged company. 

   

 Following the Beacon Merger, Beacon changed its name to
“EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc.”, which together with its subsidiaries is referred to herein as the “Company”
or “EQM”. As a result of the Beacon Merger, EQ’s former stockholders acquired a majority of EQM’s common
stock and EQ’s officers and directors became the officers and directors of EQM. For accounting purposes, the Beacon Merger
has been treated as an acquisition of Beacon by EQ, whereby EQ was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The historical consolidated
financial statements prior to February 7, 2011 are those of EQ. In connection with the Beacon Merger, EQ has restated its statements
of stockholders’ equity and redeemed preferred stock on a recapitalization basis so that all equity accounts are now presented
as if the recapitalization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. 

   

 EQM’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market,
also known as the “Pink Sheets” under the symbol “EQTE”. 

   

 The Company operates its business through two segments –
Environmental Services and Biodiesel Production. Through its Environmental Services segment, the Company provides a broad range
of environmental related engineering, consulting, remediation and construction services to the public and industrial sectors.
Through its Biodiesel Production segment, the Company operates a production facility designed and constructed to produce high
quality biodiesel from a broad range of inputs and feedstocks (“Biodiesel Production Facility”) and produces finished
biodiesel under a tolling arrangement (See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies). The Company acquired the Biodiesel Production
Facility in February 2011 in connection with the Beacon Merger, at which time the Biodiesel Production Facility was not in operation.
The Biodiesel Production Facility was successfully restarted by the Company in April 2011. 

   

 Liquidity and Capital Resources 

   

 As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s cash on hand was
$132,862. The Company incurred a net loss of $719,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s
accumulated deficit was $6,184,330. The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of
equity and debt securities, its bank financing agreement and cash flow generated from operations. 

   

 During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash in-flows
consisted principally of cash provided by operations of $2,018,351, the most significant component of which was the decrease of
$2,052,805 in accounts receivable. 

   

 During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash out-flows
consisted primarily of (i) $3,194,498 used to pay down the Company’s obligations under the financing agreement, (ii) $300,000
used to pay off the Beacon Director Note, and (iii) $203,151 in purchases of property and equipment.

 NOTE 1 – BUSINESS, continued 

   

 Overview, continued 

   

 On January 31, 2012, EQ’s secured financing agreement
was extended through March 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a deficit in working capital of $1,644,144, which excludes
$663,170 of derivative liabilities for the fair value of conversion features on certain convertible debt obligations and the Company’s
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) that are not expected to result in a cash settlement. For
additional information related to the secured financing agreement see Note 3 – Financing Agreement. 

   

 Management believes cash balances on hand and cash flows
generated from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through June 30, 2013. The Company
believes that it will be able to extend the maturity of its secured financing agreement or enter into a similar arrangement providing
financing through at least June 30, 2013. However, in order to execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy, the Company
may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. 

   

 Management believes that the Company has access to capital
resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, offerings to its existing management, its principal
investors, including Argentum Capital Partners II, L.P. (See Note 11 – Related Parties) or from others; however, the Company
has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available
on commercially acceptable terms, if needed. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail
its operations and/or take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash. 

   

 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

   

 Basis of Presentation 

   

 The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information
and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012. The condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this registration
statement. 

   

 Principles of Consolidation 

   

 The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
include EQ and its wholly owned subsidiaries EQ Engineers, LLC, and EQ Engineers Slovakia, s.r.o. (“EQES”), as well
as subsidiaries acquired in the Beacon Merger, including Beacon Energy Corp., Beacon Energy (Texas) Corp., AgriFuel United Biofuels
Co., Inc., AgriFuel BBD Holding Co., Inc. and AgriFuel Terra Farms, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. Other entities, including certain joint ventures, in which the Company has the ability
to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, but upon which the Company does not possess
control, are accounted for by the equity method and not consolidated. Those entities in which the Company does not have the ability
to exercise significant influence are generally carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued 

   

 Use of Estimates 

   

 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and also affect the amounts of
revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates.
The use of estimates is an integral part of determining cost estimates to complete under the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting for contracts. Management also utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to recording revenues under
its contracts, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining
the potential impairment of intangibles and goodwill, the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the valuation of securities
underlying stock based compensation and derivative financial instruments, income tax expense, the valuation of net assets acquired
in the Beacon Merger, and to assess its litigation, other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting
estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates
and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to
be necessary. 

   

 Net Loss per Common Share 

   

 Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
(using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, convertible notes payable,
and warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and
2011 excludes potentially dilutive securities of 27,634,786 and 32,613,591, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. Weighted
average shares outstanding includes 176,817 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 as the shares underlying these warrants can be issued for little consideration.
Weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2011 do not include 11,433,858 shares held in escrow pursuant
to the terms of the Beacon Merger that were released to their holders on February 7, 2012 (“Escrow Shares”), as these
were considered shares subject to forfeiture. 

   

 Potentially dilutive securities outlined
in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the effect of their inclusion
would have been anti-dilutive.

 Concentrations of Credit Risk 

   

 Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions, and accounts receivable.
At times, the Company’s cash in banks is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss
as a result of these deposits. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, one customer, which was a government customer, accounted
for 41% and 65%, respectively, of the Company’s trade receivables. Another customer, which was a government customer, accounted
for 17% of the Company’s trade receivables at June 30, 2012. The Company has not experienced collection losses on these
accounts, and management believes that the Company’s risk resulting from this concentration is limited because both of these
customers represent departments and agencies of the U.S. federal government. The Company does not generally require collateral
or other security to support client receivables. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances
for anticipated losses, as required. 

   

 Fair Value Measurements 

   

 The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments. 

   

 Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the
amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value
as follows: 

   

		 • 	 Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in
                                                                   active markets; 
	   	   	   

		 • 	 Level 2. Inputs to the valuation
                                                                   methodology include: 

		 ° 	 Quoted

 The following table sets forth a summary of the changes
in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: 

   

	   	   	 For the six months

    ended June 30, 2012 	   
	 Beginning balance at December 31, 2011 	   	 $ 	 1,560,437 	   
	 Aggregate fair value of conversion features upon issuance 	   	   	 33,610 	   
	 Change in fair value of conversion features 	   	   	 (930,877 	 ) 
	 Ending balance at June 30, 2012 	   	 $ 	 663,170 	   

   

 The derivative conversion feature liabilities related to
convertible promissory notes and the Company’s Series A Stock are measured at fair value using the Black Scholes pricing
model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the
Company used to determine the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 are provided
below: 

   

	 Stock price 	   	 $ 	 0.18 	   
	 Volatility 	   	   	 70.7 	 % 
	 Risk-free interest rate 	   	   	 0.37 	 % 
	 Dividend yield 	   	   	 0 	 % 
	 Expected life 	 1.6-2.5 years 	   

   

 Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs
to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivate liabilities. For fair value
measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department that
reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of
the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s
accounting and finance department with support from the Company’s consultants and which are approved by the Chief Financial
Officer. 

   

 Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative
liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant
judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed
each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. 

   

 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option
valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates
transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as, volatility.

 Fair Value Measurements, continued 

   

 A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant
decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes
in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities within Other Expense
(Income) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

   

 As of June 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of
level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy. 

   

 In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, the Company
presented the conversion feature liabilities at fair value on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, with the corresponding
changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the applicable reporting
periods. As disclosed in Notes 5 – Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability
at the date of issuance and the reporting dates of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 using both the Black-Scholes option pricing
and Monte Carlo pricing methods. The Company determined that the conversion feature included an implied downside protection feature.
As such, the Company performed a Monte-Carlo simulation and concluded that the value of the downside protection feature is de
minimus and the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model is considered to be a reasonable method to value the conversion feature
derivative liability. 

   

 The fair value of the Company’s common stock was derived
from the valuation of the Company using a combination of the discounted cash flows method and comparable companies’ methods
that included multiples based upon the last twelve months and forward revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (“EBITDA”). Management determined that the results of its valuation are reasonable. The term represents
the remaining contractual term of the derivative. The volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the historical volatility
rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the
number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue). The risk free interest rates were obtained
from publicly available US Treasury yield curve rates. The dividend yield is zero because the Company has not paid dividends and
does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. 

   

 Income Taxes 

   

 Tax benefits are recognized only for tax
positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured
as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized
tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition
and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required
to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s
policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties
were recorded during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. 

   

 The company has computed its deferred
tax assets and liabilities by using the applicable tax rates expected to be in effect at the time such taxes shall be due. In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of further taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based upon this assessment, management has determined that a partial valuation allowance is required at June 30, 2012
of $404,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2011. Management believes that the Company will generate taxable income within the near
term sufficient to realize the benefit of its recognized deferred tax assets. 

   

 Income tax expense of $88,505 for the
six months ended June 30, 2012, represents tax expense of $45,505 for state taxes based on measures other than income and $43,000
for other deferred tax adjustments. 

   

 Income tax benefit of $1,195,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2011, represents changes in the deferred tax assets for the expected realization of further tax benefits. 

   

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

   

 In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments
to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”). This pronouncement
was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements
are similar GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value
measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement
is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited.
The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

 

 On September 15, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB) issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2011-08”), which simplifies how an entity
is required to test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine
whether it is necessary to perform the two step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2011-08, an entity would not
be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that
it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 includes a number of factors to consider
in conducting the qualitative assessment. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

 Management’s Evaluation of Subsequent Events 

   

 Management evaluates events that have
occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, management did
not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated
financial statements. 

   

 NOTE 3 – FINANCING AGREEMENT 

   

 On October 31, 2006, EQ entered into a
financing agreement with a bank (the “Bank”) providing for a revolving credit facility and a letter of credit facility,
which agreement was amended to add EQ Engineers, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQ, as an additional borrower, bearing interest
at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 2.5% through October 2011 and LIBOR plus 3.0% thereafter (3.24%
and 3.28% as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively). As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was a maximum
credit of $12,000,000 under the agreement subject to a borrowing base calculation. The financing agreement is secured by the assets
of EQ, is guaranteed by Company and expires on March 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the available borrowing
base under the financing agreement totaled approximately $7,300,000 and $8,700,000, respectively, including $2,000,000 of the
borrowing base attributable to obligations under outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, borrowings
of $2,773,235 and $5,967,733, respectively, were outstanding under the financing agreement. 

   

 The financing agreement contains financial
covenants that require EQ to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the financing agreement. As of December 31, 2011, EQ was not in compliance
with the fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. On January 31, 2012, in an amendment to the financing agreement, the Bank waived
the events of default that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011. As of and for the quarterly period ended June 30,
2012, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the financing agreement; however, for the month of May,
2012, the Company was not in compliance with its minimum EBITDA requirement. The Company has not yet received a waiver from the
Bank for the non-compliance event. 

   

 In connection with the financing agreement,
EQ is required to maintain a lockbox whereby substantially all of its customer funds are deposited. Therefore, since the contractual
provisions of the financing agreement require that in the ordinary course of business the cash receipts from the EQ’s customers
(without another event occurring) are used to repay the existing revolving credit obligation, amounts owed under the financing
agreement are considered to be a short term obligation.

consisting of $128,841 in cash and issued $386,520 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes to two former employees of
the Company (the “December 2010 Notes”). The December 2010 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0.35% per annum, are
subordinate to the Company’s obligations to the Bank, are payable in annual installments aggregating $128,840, plus accrued
interest, and mature on December 30, 2013. During December 2011, pursuant to the terms of such subordination, the Company was
precluded from making the 2011 annual installment payment and, accordingly, the Company deferred the payment of the 2011 annual
installment until December 2012.

 Demand Notes 

   

 On November 4, 2011, the Company issued
$1,535,000 in 10% demand notes (“Demand Notes”) to certain officers and directors of the Company. These were due upon
the demand of the holder on or after January 3, 2012 unless, prior to that date, the holder was able to exchange these notes for
10% subordinated convertible notes. On December 30, 2011, the holders exchanged the $1,535,000 unpaid principal and $23,879 accrued

 NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES 

   

 Private Placement Notes 

   

 On March 15, 2011 (“March 15 Notes”),
May 13, 2011 (“May 13 Notes”), December 30, 2011 (“December 30 Notes”) and March 30, 2012 (“March
2012 Note”), pursuant to the terms of note purchase agreements by and between the Company and each investor (each a “Private
Placement Note Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the sale of $2,500,000, $500,000, $1,858,879, and $188,959 aggregate
principal amount of subordinated convertible notes (collectively, the “Private Placement Notes”), respectively, to
accredited investors in private placements. Of the total amount sold of $1,858,579 for the December 30 Notes, $1,535,000 was converted
from principal amount of the Demand Notes (See Note 4 –Notes Payable), $23,879 from accrued interest on the Demand Notes,
$250,000 from the EQ Officer Transition Note (See Note 4 – Notes Payable), and $50,000 was received in cash. Of the total
amount sold of $188,959 for the March 2012 Note, $150,000 was issued in exchange for the EQ Officer Transition Note and $38,959
for accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest under the Private Placement Notes
as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and was $475,110 and $229,452, respectively. 

   

 The Private Placement Notes bear interest
at a rate of 10% per annum, are due and payable on the third anniversary of their issuance (except for the March 2012 Note, which
is due and payable on December 31, 2014), and are unsecured and subordinate to the Company’s obligations to its senior lender
and the Beacon Merger Notes. The principal and accrued interest of the Private Placement Notes are convertible, at the option
of the holder, into a total of 12,619,595 and 1,187,778 shares, respectively, as of June 30, 2012 and 12,147,198 and 573,630 shares,
respectively, as of December 31, 2011, at a conversion price of $0.40 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the
terms of the Private Placement Notes). More specifically, the weighted average down round ratchet provision compensates the holder
for certain dilutive events. The Private Placement Notes also provide for customary events of default, the occurrence of which
may result in all of the Private Placement Notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable. 

   

 At any time after the one-year anniversary after the issuance
of a March 15 Note or May 13 Note, if and only if the Company’s common stock has traded at an average price per share that
is above two times the conversion price for 60 consecutive days, the Company may, in its discretion, convert any March 15 Note
or May 13 Note into shares of the Company’s common stock in full satisfaction of such March 15 Note or May 13 Note. Additionally,
in connection with the sale of the May 13 Notes, the Company and the holders of the May 13 Notes entered into a registration rights
agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011, providing for certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common
stock underlying the May 13 Notes.

 Accounting for Convertible Promissory Notes 

   

 Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Notes, the
applicable conversion prices are subject to adjustment in the event that the Company subsequently issues common stock or other
equity or debt securities convertible into common stock at a price less than such conversion price. More specifically, the weighted
average down round ratchet provision compensates the holder for certain dilutive events. The Company bifurcated the conversion
option derivative from its debt host in accordance with ASC 815. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the issuance date
fair value of the derivative for the March 2012 Note was $15,917. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended
December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an additional derivative liability of $17,693 and $45,401, respectively, for the accrued
interest on the Private Placement Notes, which also was convertible. The Company amortized the respective discounts over the terms
of the notes, using the effective interest method. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $190,832 and $59,391, respectively,
of the discount has been charged to interest expense.

 The Company estimated the fair value of these derivative
conversion features using the Black Scholes valuation model. The significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the
fair value for each tranche of the Private Placement Notes for the conversion option derivative liability was as follows: 

   

	   	   	 March 2012 Note 	   
	 Stock price 	   	 $ 	 0.18 	   
	 Term 	   	   	 2.8 years

	 Risk-free interest rate 	   	   	 0.42 	 % 
	 Dividend yield 	   	   	 0 	 % 

   

 As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, after the mark-to-market
adjustment, the aggregate fair value of the conversion liability was $423,844 and $934,923, respectively, representing the fair
value of the conversion feature of both the principal and the interest for the Private Placement Notes.

 Legal Proceedings 

   

 The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions
and regulatory proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Other than the matter set forth below,
in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

   

 Biodiesel Supplier Claim 

   

 Included in accrued expenses at June 30,
2012 and December 31, 2011 is approximately $250,515 in connection with the Company’s potential liabilities related to asserted
and unasserted claims against the Company. 

   

 As of June 30, 2012 the Company has included in accounts
payable $145,329 in connection with a potential liability to a former supplier to the Biodiesel Production Facility. On July 9,
2009, Beacon received a demand letter from a supplier through its legal counsel for the payment of $357,729 in alleged raw material
purchases and commitments made by Beacon in 2008. On March 11, 2010, the supplier filed a lawsuit against Beacon in the Superior
Court of the State of Delaware with regard to its claims against the Company amounting to $357,729. The Company believes it is
not liable for any amount exceeding $145,329. The Company has engaged legal counsel and intends to defend its position. There
is no assurance that the Company’s ultimate liability for this matter will not exceed $145,329. 

   

 EPA Claim for Equitable Adjustment 

   

 On January 23, 2012, the Company filed
a request to the EPA for an equitable adjustment in connection with a contract that ended during the fiscal year 2011 (“EPA
Claim”). Under the EPA Claim, the Company has asserted that it suffered a major financial loss as a result of certain volume
under runs in connection with an excavation project. The Company is not able to determine the amount that might be received in
connection with this claim. Any amount received in future periods will be recorded as a gain upon the receipt of such amounts.

 Tolling Arrangement 

   

 On November 1, 2011 the Company entered into a tolling agreement
pursuant to which the Company produced biodiesel for a third party (the “Tolling Purchaser”) using the Tolling Purchaser’s
feedstock. The tolling agreement was extended in January, 2012 and expired on February 29, 2012. Effective April 1, 2012, the
Company entered into a new two year tolling agreement with the Tolling Purchaser. During the term of the agreement, the Company
will dedicate and use the entire productive capacity of the Biodiesel Production Facility to produce biodiesel for the Tolling
Purchaser. In exchange, the Tolling Purchaser will supply all working capital for feedstock purchases and commit to purchase all
finished biodiesel produced from this feedstock by the Biodiesel Production Facility. Under the terms of the agreement, the Tolling
Purchaser will also pay the Company a price per gallon of finished biodiesel produced that covers the Biodiesel Production Facility’s
operating costs and includes a service fee for production that is inclusive of the Company’s profit margin per gallon. Pursuant
to the tolling agreement, the Tolling Purchaser has the right to terminate the tolling agreement if certain production measures
are not met and/or if the Tolling Purchaser is unable to earn certain margins on the biodiesel produced. 

   

 Revenues from this tolling agreement were $3,624,530 and
$0 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable due from the Tolling Purchaser
of $102,612 and $198,468 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

with Mr. Wendle to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Galvin to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Greber
to serve as Sr. Vice President. Each agreement provides for an initial term of 2 years, certain automatic renewal provisions,
performance based bonus compensation and for certain payments in the case of a change in control of the Company and the executives
termination other than for cause (as defined in the respective agreements). 

   

 Operating Leases

 Joint Ventures 

   

 As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had

Patent Holder: Environmental Quality Management, Inc.

Inventors: John R. Kominsky, Fred Hall

 

Description: The RAFS consists of a variable-speed high-efficiency
particulate air (REP A) filtered fan attached to a tunnel (6 x 6 x 24 in.) with an open bottom for exposure to the test matrix
soil. The fan discharges the air at the tunnel inlet through diffusers to evenly distribute the airflow. A variable-speed motorized
rake mechanism inside of the tunnel provides consistent and reproducible agitation of the top 11.2 in. of soil. A gentle airflow
laterally transports the generated aerosol inside of a tunnel to one end where filter sampling cassettes or real-time instruments
are used to measure asbestos and particulate release.

In August 2007, Parent initiated an internal investigation regarding
potential billing for unallowable costs in connection with EQMI’s construction of a forward operating base in Iraq beginning
in 2006 (the “FOB Hope Project”).  EQMI completed the FOB Hope Project in March 2008.  Parent has submitted
its findings to the U.S. Air Force Inspector General and the U.S. Office of Inspector General of the Department of Defense on a
number of occasions in an effort to be admitted into the Federal government’s Voluntary Disclosure Program, which provides
participants with certain protections and rights related to possible violations. Parent was accepted into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program, has answered all questions of and submitted all information requested by the Federal government concerning this matter,
and is awaiting feedback from the Federal government.

 

Code of Ethics

 

EQM TECHNOLOGIES & ENERGY, INC.

 

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

 

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this “Code”)
applies to all of the employees, officers and directors of EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (EQM
Technologies & Energy, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries collectively referred to in this Code as the “Company”).
Any employee or officer who violates the letter or spirit of these policies is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of employment.

 

Every employee, officer and director has the responsibility
to obey the law and act honestly and ethically. To that end, this Code is a guide that is intended to sensitize employees, officers
and directors to significant legal and ethical issues that arise frequently and to the mechanisms available to report illegal or
unethical conduct. It is not, however, a comprehensive document that addresses every legal or ethical issue that an employee, officer
or director may confront, nor is it a summary of all laws and policies that apply to the Company's business. Ultimately, no code
of business conduct and ethics can replace the thoughtful behavior of an ethical employee, officer or director.

 

The Code is organized in these Sections:

 

• Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

 

• Equal-Opportunity Workplace

 

• Confidentiality

 

• Conflicts of Interest

 

• Protection and Proper Use of Corporate Assets

 

• Corporate Opportunities

 

• Gifts and Gratuities

 

• Honest and Ethical Conduct and Fair Dealing

 

• Accuracy of Books and Records and Public Reports

 

• Insider Trading

 

• Reporting and Compliance Procedures

 

• Dissemination and Amendment

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

Please read this Code carefully and consider how the provisions
relate to your daily business interactions. Each employee, officer and director should also read and be familiar with the portions
of our other Company policies applicable to such employee, officer and director, none of which are a part of this Code.

 

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

 

All employees, officers and directors must comply fully with
all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations that govern the Company's business activities and
conduct, including, without limitation, employee health and safety

 

laws, insider trading laws, antitrust laws, and any applicable
trade restrictions, export controls, or anti-boycott laws and regulations. You are expected to use good judgment and common sense
in seeking to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to ask for advice when you are uncertain about them.

 

All governmental inquiries or investigations must be referred
to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Contact information for the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is included in the Reporting and Compliance Procedures section
set out below. It is our policy to cooperate fully with any governmental or regulatory investigation, and all employees, officers
and directors are expected to cooperate fully with any internal or external investigations as directed by their supervisors. Since
the laws governing our activities are often complex, any questions that you may have regarding their applicability and interpretation
should, after review with your supervisor, be referred to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors.

 

Equal-Opportunity Workplace

 

The Company’s commitment to a policy of equal-opportunity
employment means that we will not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any employee based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, marital status, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or other factors that are unrelated to the conduct
of the Company’s business. Furthermore, the Company will not tolerate sexual advances, racial or religious slurs, actions,
comments or any other conduct in the workplace that creates an intimidating or otherwise offensive or hostile environment. Everyone
has a responsibility to ensure that the Company maintains an environment free of hostility. You should report to the Company’s
EEOC Officer any situations at work that you consider inconsistent with this policy. If you think you are the subject of prohibited
discrimination or harassment, report it immediately. Contact information for the Company’s EEOC Officer is included in the
Reporting and Compliance Procedures section set out below.

 

Confidentiality

 

Confidential information includes proprietary information such
as our trade secrets, business and marketing plans, sales information and forecasts, processing ideas, designs, databases, records,
salary information, costs, and unpublished financial data and reports, as well as any other non-public information that might be
of use to competitors or harmful to us or our suppliers or customers if disclosed. Employees, officers and directors must maintain
the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or other companies, including our suppliers and
customers, except when disclosure is authorized by a supervisor or legally mandated.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

Unauthorized disclosure of any confidential information is prohibited.
Additionally, employees should take appropriate precautions to ensure that confidential or sensitive business information, whether
it is proprietary to the Company or to another company, is not communicated within the Company except to employees who have a

 

need to know such information to perform their responsibilities
for the Company. In the event you have executed confidentiality agreement with the Company, such agreement imposes specific obligations
and restrictions on you and such obligations will govern to the extent they are, in any way, contrary to the terms of this Code.

 

Third parties may ask you for information concerning the Company.
Employees, officers and directors (other than the Company’s authorized spokespersons) must not discuss internal Company matters
with, or disseminate internal Company information to, anyone outside the Company, except as required in the performance of their
Company duties and after an appropriate confidentiality agreement is in place. This prohibition applies particularly to inquiries
concerning the Company from the media, market professionals (such as securities analysts, institutional investors, investment advisers,
brokers and dealers) and security holders. All responses to inquiries on behalf of the Company must be made only by the Company’s
authorized spokespersons. If you receive any inquiries of this nature, you must decline to comment and refer the inquirer to the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

You also must abide by any lawful obligations that you have
to any former employer. These obligations may include restrictions on the use and disclosure of confidential information, restrictions
on the solicitation of former colleagues to work at the Company and non-competition obligations.

 

Questions about the Confidentiality policy should be directed
to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Violations of the Confidentiality policy should be directed to the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer. Contact information for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is included in the Reporting and Compliance
Procedures section set out below.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Employees, officers and directors must act in the best interests
of the Company. You must refrain from engaging in any activity or having a personal interest that presents a “conflict of
interest.” A conflict of interest occurs when your personal interest interferes or conflicts with, or appears to interfere
or conflict with, the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest can arise whenever you, as an employee, officer, or director,
take action or have an interest that prevents you from performing your Company duties and responsibilities honestly, objectively
and effectively.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

Some examples of potential conflicts of interest are:

 

•

 

performing services as a consultant, employee, officer, director,
advisor or in any other capacity for a supplier, customer, or competitor of the Company, other than services performed at the request
of the Company;

 

•

 

having a material financial interest, directly or indirectly,
in a supplier, customer, or competitor of the Company;

 

•

 

having or exercising control over a supplier, customer, or competitor
of the Company;

 

•

 

using the position of a Company employee, officer, or director
to influence a transaction with a supplier or customer in which such person has any personal interest, other than a financial interest
that is not material;

 

•

 

accepting gifts from a supplier or customer seeking to do business
with the Company (also discussed below in Gifts and Gratuities); and

 

•

 

contracting with a company owned or managed by a family member
or close friend.

 

It is difficult to identify exhaustively what constitutes a
conflict of interest. For this reason, employees, officers and directors must avoid any situation in which their independent business
judgment might appear to be compromised. Questions about potential conflicts of interest situations, and disclosure of these situations
as they arise, should be addressed and reported to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. It is your responsibility to disclose
any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest as provided in
Reporting and Compliance Procedures below.

 

Violations of the Conflicts of Interest policy should be directed
to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Contact information for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is included
in the Reporting and Compliance Procedures section set out below.

 

Protection and Proper Use of Corporate Assets

 

Employees, officers and directors should seek to protect the
Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Company assets include, without limitation, equipment, and inventory, intellectual
property such as the Company names, logos, trademarks, copyrights, confidential information, ideas, plans and strategies. Theft,
carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s financial performance. Employees, officers and directors must
use the Company’s assets and services solely for legitimate business purposes of the Company and not for any personal benefit
or the personal benefit of anyone else. Questions about the Protection and Proper Use of Corporate Assets policy should be directed
to your direct supervisor. Violations of the Protection and Proper Use of Corporate Assets policy should be reported to the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer. Contact information for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is included in the Reporting and Compliance
Procedures section set out below.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

Corporate Opportunities

 

Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from: (a) taking
for themselves personally opportunities that properly belong to the Company or are discovered through the use of corporate property,
information or position; (b) using corporate property, information or position for personal gain; and (c) competing with the Company.
Employees, officers and directors owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.
Questions about the Corporate Opportunities policy should be directed to your direct supervisor. Violations of Corporate Opportunities
policy should be reported to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Contact information for the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer is included in the Reporting and Compliance Procedures section set out below.

 

Gifts and Gratuities

 

From experience we all know that business gratuities and entertainment
can be appropriate or inappropriate (even illegal), depending on the circumstances. For this reason it is critical that all employees,
officers and directors be extremely sensitive when it comes to giving or accepting gifts, entertainment or favors in the business
context. Moreover, all employees, officers and directors should anticipate situations in which such a gratuity might be offered
and decide in advance what will be the appropriate conduct. Common sense and moderation should prevail in business entertainment
engaged in on behalf of the Company. Employees, officers and directors should provide, or accept, business entertainment to or
from anyone doing business with the Company only if the entertainment is infrequent, modest and intended to serve legitimate business
goals.

 

Regardless of the circumstances the following rules apply for
gifts and gratuities:

 

 ̈ Money in any form is never given, offered, solicited
or accepted.

 

 ̈ No gift, favor or entertainment is offered or given
in the expectation of or in return for actions or failure to act on the part of the recipient.

 

 ̈ Similarly, no gift, favor or entertainment is solicited
or accepted if offered in expectation of or in return for your action or failure to act in regard to the gift giver or his or her
organization.

 

 ̈ Gifts, favors and entertainment that may be given or
accepted under these rules must also be appropriate, reasonable and consistent with the prevailing cultural and industry practice.

 

 ̈ Employees are not to accept gifts, favors or entertainment
exceeding the standards described immediately above from suppliers or customers of the Company unless approved by an executive
officer.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

In addition to the rules above, special rules apply to offers
or actually giving anything of value to government employees, officials, their families or their political parties. If the official
is barred by the rules of his or her government from accepting gifts, favors or entertainment, then none may be offered or given.
If the government

 

official may accept token items, then ordinary courtesies such
as coffee or a pastry may be offered in the office and other unsolicited, non-monetary gifts may be offered if they meet these
criteria:

 

  ̈ They are items of nominal intrinsic value ($20 or less)
and do not exceed $50 in any one year.

 

 ̈ They are advertising or promotional materials, clearly
marked with a company name or logo.

 

In those circumstances where there is no appearance of impropriety,
employees may provide or accept conventional business meals with non-government employees if the meals are connected with the ongoing
conduct of business and will be returned in kind.

 

Bribes and kickbacks are criminal acts, strictly prohibited
by law. You must not offer, give, solicit or receive any form of bribe or kickback.

 

Questions about the Gifts and Gratuities policy should be directed
to your direct supervisor. Violations of the Gifts and Gratuities policy should be reported to the Company’s Chief Financial

Hazardous Substances

 

A substantial portion of EQMI’s business involves planning,
design, program management and construction management of pollution control facilities, as well as assessment and management of
remediation activities at hazardous waste or Superfund sites and military bases. In addition, EQMI contracts with U.S. federal
government entities to destroy hazardous materials. These activities require EQMI to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and
dispose of toxic and hazardous substances. Some environmental laws, such as the Superfund law and similar state and local statutes,
can impose liability for the entire cost of clean-up for contaminated facilities or sites upon present and former owners and operators,
as well as generators, transporters and persons arranging for the treatment or disposal of such substances. In addition, while
Borrowers strive to handle hazardous and toxic substances with care and in accordance with safe methods, the possibility of accidents,
leaks, spills and the events of force majeure always exist. Certain of EQMI’s business operations are covered by U.S. Public
Law 85-804, which provides for government indemnification against claims and damages arising out of unusually hazardous activities
performed at the request of the government. Due to changes in public policies and law, however, government indemnification may
not be available in the case of any future claims or liabilities relating to other hazardous activities that EQMI performs.

Litigation

 

Tacoma Project Claim for Equitable Adjustment

  

Q2 Remediation Services, JV (“Q2”), a joint venture
between EQMI and Quaternary Resource Investigations, LLC, was awarded a contract from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers on August
30, 2010 to remediate lead and arsenic contaminated soil from residential properties in the Tacoma, Washington area.  Work
began on this project in September 2010, and the field work was substantially completed by August 2011.  As a result of delays
in both the award of the contract and Q2’s receipt of notice from the customer to proceed with work under the contract, and
further delays in the release by the customer of properties to Q2 for remediation and restoration, Q2 incurred costs that exceeded
the value of the contract.  On March 27, 2012, Q2 filed a request with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for an equitable adjustment
to recover unbilled costs in connection with its work under the contract (the “ACE Claim”).  During August of
2012, we were informed that our ACE Claim was initially denied by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. Parent is working with the staff
of the Corp of Engineers to resolve this matter in order to collect amounts that Parent believes are properly due. As of June 30,
2012, the Parent had a receivable from such joint venture of approximately $146,000.

 

Investigation Regarding FOB Hope Project

 

In August 2007, Parent initiated an internal investigation regarding
potential billing for unallowable costs in connection with EQMI’s construction of a forward operating base in Iraq beginning
in 2006 (the “FOB Hope Project”).  EQMI completed the FOB Hope Project in March 2008.  Parent has submitted
its findings to the U.S. Air Force Inspector General and the U.S. Office of Inspector General of the Department of Defense on a
number of occasions in an effort to be admitted into the Federal government’s Voluntary Disclosure Program, which provides
participants with certain protections and rights related to possible violations. Parent was accepted into the Voluntary Disclosure
Program, has answered all questions of and submitted all information requested by the Federal government concerning this matter,
and is awaiting feedback from the Federal government. 

 

In 2008, Parent filed a request with the U.S. Air Force for
an equitable adjustment in connection with the FOB Hope Project (the “Air Force Claim”).  Parent completed the
FOB Hope Project in March 2008.  The Air Force Claim is being reviewed, but Parent has not been provided with a specific time
line for final resolution of the Air Force Claim and Parent is not able to determine the amount that might be received in connection
with the Air Force Claim.

 

EPA Claim for Equitable Adjustment

 

On January 23, 2012, Parent filed with the EPA to request an
equitable adjustment in connection with the Madison County Contract. Under the EPA Claim, Parent asserted that it suffered a major
financial loss as a result of certain volume under runs in connection with the Madison County Contract. The amount of the EPA Claim
is approximately $6,000,000. However, Parent was not able to determine the amount that might be received in connection with this
claim. Any amount received in future periods will be recorded as a gain upon the receipt of such amounts.
