<FONT SIZE="2">
On August 31, 2012, Mitcham Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and First Victoria National Bank (the "Bank") entered into an amended credit agreement. The amended revolving credit facility (the "Amended Facility") provides for total borrowings of up to $50 million on a revolving basis through August 31, 2015, an increase from the $35 million previously available. Borrowings under the Amended Facility bear interest, payable monthly, at the prime rate, subject to a floor of 3.25%. The Company may, at its option, convert any or all balances outstanding under the revolving credit facility into a series of term notes with monthly amortization over 48 months. Amounts available for borrowing are determined by a borrowing base. The borrowing base is computed based upon certain outstanding accounts receivable, certain portions of the Company&#x2019;s lease pool and any lease pool assets that are to be purchased with proceeds from the facility. The revolving credit facility and any term loans are collateralized by substantially all of the Company&#x2019;s domestic assets. Up to $10.0 million of the revolving credit facility may be utilized to secure letters of credit. The Amended Facility contains certain financial covenants that require, among other things, for the Company to maintain a debt to shareholders&#x2019; equity ratio of no more than 0.7 to 1.0, maintain a current assets to current liabilities ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, and have quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of not less than $2.0 million. The Amended Facility also provides that the Company may not incur or maintain indebtedness in excess of $10.0 million without the prior written consent of the Bank, expect for borrowings related to the Amended Facility. The Amended Facility further provides that the Company may not guarantee subsidiary indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million without the prior written consent of the Bank. The Company must pay commitment fees totaling $123,750 over the term of the Amended Facility.<br>

the amount of loan proceeds in excess of the amount that Lender is permitted by applicable law or
Lender&#146;s loan policy limitations to loan to Borrower.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11.5pt">D.&nbsp;Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement or the provisions of any promissory
note or other loan document to the contrary, Lender shall not charge or collect and Lender does
not intend to contract for interest in excess of that permitted by law for loans of this kind, and
to prevent such occurrence, Lender will, at maturity, or an earlier final payment of any
promissory note described above, determine the total amount of interest that can be lawfully
charged or collected by applying the highest lawful rate of interest to the full periodic balances
of principal for the period each is outstanding and unpaid and compare such amount with the total
interest that has accrued under the terms of such note, and, if necessary to prevent usury, reduce
the total amount of interest payable by Borrower to the lesser amount. </FONT><FONT style="font-size: 9.5pt">&#091;f </FONT><FONT style="font-size: 11.5pt">the

interest shall accrue on such note shall be limitedto such highest lawful rate. The
highest lawful rate shall thereafter be the rate at which interest is accrued on such note until
the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if the
interest rate provided in such note had at all times been in effect, after which the interest rate
provided in such note, if it does not exceed the highest lawful rate, shall apply. As used
herein, the term &#147;highest lawful rate&#148; means the highest rate of interest permitted to be charged
or collected under the applicable state or federal law for this type of loan applied to the full
periodic balances of principal advances for the period each is outstanding and unpaid.
